Huo Xingyun quickly stepped into the courtyard, and before entering the house, he carefully looked outside to make sure that no one was following him before closing the door.

The furnishings in the room are simple, even a little empty.

Huo Xingyun went straight to a cabinet, turned the vase on it, and the wall behind the cabinet changed instantly, and a narrow door appeared.

Huo Xingyun bowed and entered the door.

Behind the door is a secret passage.

The secret passage was not long, and Huo Xingyun soon came to the secret room.

The chamber was brightly lit.

There were several people standing in the main hall, and when they heard Huo Xingyun's movement, their eyes all turned to him.

The leader wore a ghost mask on his face, and his eyes were dyed scarlet, which was a bit frightening.

Huo Xingyun's heart skipped a beat, for a moment he didn't know whether he should tell the truth about Wei Rou.

Gu Xi had already strode up.

"Where's Rouer?"

He led the people to wait at the west palace gate, but he did not see Wei Rou, and heard the news of Wei Rou's accident from the spies, so he returned to this secret room immediately without further delay.

It took a while for Huo Xingyun to arrive.

Gu Xi's uneasiness and irritability have reached a critical point.

Seeing this, Huo Xingyun shivered.

"She's...she's fine."

As soon as the words fell, Huo Xingyun's collar was picked up.

"To be more specific, what happened to her?"

Gu Xi stared at Huo Xingyun with murderous eyes, and Huo Xingyun explained everything in one go.

"She was stabbed twice, and I rescued her, but her body is too weak, and she needs to be raised for a while. I'm afraid she can't go to the ground at will during this period."

As he spoke, he cautiously added: "I'm afraid our plan to save people will be postponed."

Gu Xi frowned: "Is it really all right?"

Huo Xingyun hurriedly said: "Life is really all right, the child is also fatal, and he survived after being stabbed twice."

After finishing speaking, the eyes of several people on the side stared at him fiercely.

Huo Xingyun realized that his words were inappropriate, so he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Gu Xi had already given up his expectations, and when he heard that the child was still alive, his voice was rarely tinged with tremors.

"You said the child... the child survived?"

Huo Xingyun's eyes widened.

"Could it be that you think the child is gone? Don't look at who made the move. My reputation as Doctor Huo is not vain, okay?"

Gu Xi let go of Huo Xingyun directly, and he sat down on the ground, grinning in pain.

Gu Xi took a deep breath to calm down the turbulent emotions.

"Who did it?"

Huo Xingyun stood up from the ground with difficulty, scratched his head and thought about it.

"I didn't hear clearly either. It seems to be a concubine in the palace who seems to have a problem with your wife. If it wasn't for that concubine's lack of strength, I'm afraid your wife would really—"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Yun who came up covered his mouth.

Ling Yun forced a smile on his face.

"Master Huo, you are tired, it's time to rest."

"Uuuuuu-"

Huo Xingyun was directly dragged down by him.

Wu Jiang walked up to Gu Xi, bowed and said, "General, let the slaves sneak into the palace to take care of the madam."

Warmth also said: "servants go too!"

Gu Xi glanced at them, knowing that they were eager to protect the lord, and said in a deep voice: "The two of you have already shown your face in front of Qi Yu, entering the palace rashly will only arouse his vigilance. I have my own plans, so there is no need to rush."

Wu Jiang heard Gu Xi's words tenderly, and didn't say any more, but his face was full of worries about Wei Rou.

What they didn't see was that Gu Xi clenched his hands into fists and was constantly suppressing his desire to enter the palace alone.

Gu Xi kept admonishing himself that he must be foolproof and never act impulsively.

But when he thought of Wei Rou alone with a child in a strange court, his anger was filled with nowhere to vent.

He has never regretted that he did not bring Wei Rou with him.
