"Okay, that's about it."

Yu He took the letter he had just finished and compared it with Concubine Xi Shu's. The structure of the frame fit perfectly, and the writing habits were almost exactly the same.

Great, so it's absolutely seamless.

When he looked back, he saw that Yin Chixue had fallen asleep sitting in front of the table with one hand propped on his forehead.

Yu He chuckled, pulled off his coat casually, tiptoed to Yin Chixue's side, and covered him for him.

But at the moment when he turned around to leave, his hand was suddenly pinched.

Looking back, she saw Yin Chixue smiling and winking at herself.

"What, pretending to be asleep." Saying that, Yu He mercilessly snatched back the coat that was on him and put it on.

"Why, do you want to go back to the palace today?" Yin Chixue stood up.

"Yeah, today's task is completed early, and I have to meet with the imperial concubine early, so I can't accompany you." Yu He folded the letter paper and put it in the envelope.

"After dealing with Lin Zhaoyi and the others, let's move to the palace, aren't you tired from running around?"

"Not tired." Yu He replied straightforwardly.

Yin Chixue tapped his head: "I think you really deserve a beating."

Yu He put the envelope into his arms, and smiled meanly: "But you are reluctant."

The two walked out chatting with each other, but as soon as they opened the door, they saw Yin Chixue's other hidden guard standing there.

Seeing the two of them, Deye was obviously taken aback.

"Isn't this Brother Chu Ye, long time no see." Yu He greeted him with a natural expression.

"Yeah, Mr. Lizi, long time no see." But Chuye's expression was a little strange.

"Why didn't you see the show?" Yin Chixue glanced behind Chuye.

"Oh, he said that the book will go to Beijing in the next few days, and he will skip a shift to pick up the book at the gate of the city." De Ye replied honestly.

Yu He spat out a mouthful of old blood, and thought that the honesty of this scene really made his head hurt, even if he went to the bathroom during the play, it would be fine, just like that, he brought out every word about his skipping work and dating.

Fortunately, Yin Chixue was magnanimous and only said:

"Wait until he comes back and tell him that this month's bonus is gone."

De Ye nodded dumbly, stepped aside, and watched the two of them leave——

"Perhaps the reason why the prince was kidnapped when he left the palace was because the two of them skipped work and went out to drink, and then they didn't dare to tell the truth, so they bit the bullet and said that they really didn't hear any changes."

Yu He chattered endlessly as he walked.

Yin Chixue sent him out of the room, then to the gate, and then all the way to the gate of the palace.

"Should I still give it away?" Yu He pointed to the gate of the palace.

Yin Chixue sighed slightly, and turned around: "Forget it, you go in."

Yu He twitched his lips: "That's it? There is no parting kiss like the reluctant parting kiss when a couple parted?"

"No."

Yu He glared at him, didn't have any more sex with him, and walked towards the gate of the palace without looking back.

It's just that he had just walked two steps, but suddenly felt that someone was pulling his collar, subconsciously turned his head to check, and before he could see the person clearly, his mouth was tightly pressed.

Yin Chixue was so tall that she could only bend down when kissing. It was quite tiring to bend down like this.

He held Yu He's face lightly, and his fingertips also rubbed the roots of his ears emotionally.

Yu He felt itchy, subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

In the end, Yin Chixue pressed his hand one step ahead of him.

Forget it, who made him look good? Playing hooligans is like flirting.

Just when Yu He was about to respond to him, he suddenly caught sight of a person from the corner of his eye.

He was shocked and quickly pushed Yin Chixue away.

The man didn't know how long he had been here, but he just stood there staring at them motionless.

The man looked to be in his fifties, dressed in ragged but clean clothes, with messy gray hair brushing around his mouth, looking at them with eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world.

This time, Yu He got goosebumps.

"No, big brother, you've been standing here, don't you look so good-looking?" Yu He complained rubbing his goosebumps.

The man smiled and said nothing.

"What are you laughing at?" Yu He was a little annoyed.

This person is really incomprehensible, just standing here and looking at people slapping impolitely, he has no eyesight, and even laughs at others.

"I'm just laughing..." the man said, looking up at the sky.

There are large soft white clouds floating in the sky, like a travel pictorial in the 90s.

"There are tens of thousands of words in the world, why do some people always spend their whole lives for the word 'love', and even die alone."

"What are you talking about?" Yu He panicked when he heard this, and immediately refuted without thinking.

"Don't you know what I'm talking about?" The man smiled and shook his head, stroked his beard, and walked forward slowly.

Yu He turned his head to look at Yin Chixue, and saw that he was standing on the side as if lost in thought. Afraid that he was thinking wildly, he hurried forward and explained:

"You know that some people's heads... are not good. Maybe he was emotionally stimulated and started talking nonsense. Don't pay attention to him."

Yin Chixue came back to her senses, looked at Yu He, and smiled: "I'm not thinking about it, don't worry, you can go in quickly."

Yu He nodded, and blew him another kiss: "Then I'll go in, and I'll look for you tomorrow, be good~"

Yin Chixue smiled and waved at him.

However, when Yu He entered the palace, his smile immediately disappeared.

The sound of hurried footsteps shows the anxiety in the owner's heart.

The ragged man walked very, very slowly, as if deliberately waiting for someone to come.

Sure enough, the moment he heard the hurried footsteps, he turned his head——

That familiar face, even though he was already old, the years still hadn't left any marks on his face.

The same face as 35 years ago.

"Sir." Yin Chixue spoke slowly.

Although he said he didn't care, it was impossible to really not care.

So he immediately chased after him and wanted to have a clear question with this man.

"Maybe I'm a bit abrupt, but I want to ask, what you just told us, dying alone..."

The man smiled:

"As I do, I miss a person who will never appear again or never exist at all, until the age of 50, 60, and a hundred years later..."

Yin Chixue's throat moved, trying to keep his voice as soft as possible:

"Then I can ask sir, that lonely old man, is... me..."

The man tilted his head: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"I don't know, my intuition." Yin Chixue said with a wry smile, "Because something is wrong."

The man chuckled, and raised his hand to stroke his gray beard:

"Then I might as well just say, yes, that person is you."

Yin Chixue was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Can I ask why?"

"Because someone created a lot of very strange worlds. In these different worlds, all the protagonists who enter here keep reincarnating until the next protagonist appears."

As he said that, the man looked at Yin Chixue: "And you are a character created by that man based on his past experience. In other words, you are someone who does not exist in the real world."

Yin Chixue shook her head in panic: "I don't understand."

Then, he followed up and asked: "So my lover will leave me?"

The man thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, and soon."

"How fast."

"Perhaps he will leave after the matter at hand is resolved."

"Leave? Where are you going? If it's not too far away, I can also move there."

The man smiled, then looked up at the sky.

It was still those soft white clouds, still in that strange shape, as if time stood still just now.

"It's far away, very far away...even if you chase it all your life, you can't reach it..."

----------

Concubine Xi Shu's bedroom is peaceful, the sun is shining outside the window, and the birds are combing their wings with short beaks on the branches with young leaves.

Concubine Xi Shu picked up the cup of black tea that was tributed by foreigners on the table, and took a sip.

There was a strange bird cry outside the door, Concubine Xi Shu gathered herself together, and immediately said to the little maid who was still beating her legs:

"Go down first, I want to be alone for a while."

The little maid immediately got up, made a salute, packed her things and left in a hurry.

Concubine Xi Shu was still half leaning on the couch, her phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and after a while, she said in a low voice:

"come in."

As soon as the words fell, a tall man walked in from the gate.

Concubine Xi Shu sat up straight from the phoenix couch, without even looking at him, she asked:

"Why, what did you hear?"

The man nodded: "Mother, I advise you to be more careful recently, that eunuch has already thought of a way to wait for you to fall into the trap."

"tell me the story?"

"He colluded with the Ninth Prince and Concubine Yu to pretend that they were dating too much to arouse your suspicion, and then deliberately let you see the letters they communicated with. It is expected that you will ask someone to take the letters and read them in front of the emperor, so that day Yu The imperial concubine's beating of Qiulan was all a deliberate act, and the letter Qiulan will really give you is a letter he wrote in imitation of your handwriting with the court lady Jinyuan."

Concubine Xi Shu opened her eyes suddenly, her light pupils stared straight at the man in front of her.

Afterwards, she smiled, a mocking smile.

The sharp and high-pitched laughter pierced the man's eardrums with pain.

"This trick is really good." Concubine Xi Shu barely restrained her laughter, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Since that's the case, then we'll stick to our plan and play with them to the end." The smile on the corner of Concubine Xi Shu's mouth became colder and colder.

"Chu Ye, you did a good job." After finishing speaking, she took out a money bag embroidered with peony flowers from her bosom, and threw it over, "Your reward."

The man in front of him reached out to take the purse and smiled: "It's all thanks to the generous help of my mother. My mother's illness has improved a little."

Concubine Xi Shu picked up the exquisite silver spoon on the table and slowly stirred the black tea, her eyebrows lowered: "You get paid as much as you do, no thanks, you deserve it."

Chu Ye nodded, and cupped his hands at Concubine Xi Shu: "Then empress, I'll go back to the palace first, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion if I've been out for too long."

Concubine Xi Shu nodded and waved her hand to signal him to back down.

At this time, the man in white who had been lying on the roof for an unknown amount of time slowly covered the tiles:

"Unexpectedly, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind."

Chu Ye would never have imagined that before Xi Shu left, he told him that he was going to the gate of the city to pick up books, but in fact, he had been lying in ambush on the roof of Concubine Xi Shu's bedroom, just waiting for him to throw himself into the trap.

And during the play, he had long suspected that there was a traitor in the palace, and he had been aware of it since the last time the prince was kidnapped.

Because Chu Ye's expression at that time was too obvious, that kind of slightly uneasy.

Moreover, as a professional hidden guard, how could it be possible for him to sleep so soundly at that time? If you think about it carefully, you will know that it is tricky, and this kid must have tampered with it.

Unexpectedly, coming to ambush this time is really a windfall.

Thinking about it, he jumped off the roof during the play and left in the dust——

When he returned to the palace, Yin Chixue was sitting in the dormitory in a daze, and he knocked on the door several times during the play without noticing it.

"My lord, this subordinate dares to offend you." During the play, he pushed open the door and walked in cautiously.

Yin Chixue was sitting in front of the desk, propping her forehead with one hand, and playing with a peach butterfly jade pendant with the other, her eyes didn't move, as if she was lost in thought.

"My lord." Shi Shi stretched out his hand and waved in front of him.

Yin Chixue regained consciousness and looked up.

During the play, they found that their master's eyes were red.

He was startled: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Yin Chixue hurriedly sorted out her emotions, "Why are you looking for me?"

Nodding during the play, his expression instantly became serious.

He bent down to Yin Chixue's ear, and told Yin Chixue everything he had just heard.

"My lord, why don't I exchange that letter now, I guess Qiu Lan has already gone to Concubine Xi Shu by this time."

Yin Chixue looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and suddenly remembered what the man said:

"As soon as he's done with what he's doing, he'll be gone."

"No need." Yin Chixue said decisively.

During the play, he was stunned: "Why is this..."

Yin Chixue clenched the jade pendant tightly: "If I say no need, it means no need, and you don't need to worry about this matter anymore."

"However, Concubine Shu already knows our plan. If we don't act first, won't you be convicted of having an affair with Concubine Yu? Your lord, once this charge is confirmed, you will never be able to recover ah."

Frowning during the play, he couldn't understand why Yin Chixue, who was still secretly deploying the plan before, turned his back on him today.

"I'll explain, but if no one believes it, then assume I did."

After finishing speaking, Yin Chixue waved his hand: "Go out, I'm tired and want to rest."

During the play, he looked at Yin Chixue worriedly. He really didn't understand why their lord suddenly came out like this. If Xiao Lizi knew that his hard work for many days fell short, he would definitely vomit blood with anger.

What's more, if Concubine De and Lin Zhaoyi knew that they could have vindicated their grievances but were ruined because the prince went crazy, they must be even more desperate.

But after all, I am a servant, and my master has orders, how dare I refuse to obey.

But now Yin Chixue's mind is in chaos, like a tape stuck in a machine, playing the words that man said over and over again:

"He comes from the future, and he came back to this era to help some resentful souls fulfill their wishes in life. What he wants to accomplish this time is to help the prince of the dynasty sweep away the traitors and protect him to ascend to the throne of God. If this task is completed, he will Back to my own world."

It's like delirious and crazy words, how can you trust other people's words.

But I have to say that there are indeed many unreasonable factors in Yu He. He is not at all like those eunuchs who have been trained in etiquette. He has no rules, and he often says things he doesn't understand.

Could it be that everything is fake, the one I met in Longxiao Mountain back then is also fake?

Sounds like a fantasy.

But if this is the case, why should he bother about Concubine De and Lin Zhaoyi's affairs, and why must he bring down Concubine Xi Shu.

Because she has a very good son, and because she is insidious and cunning, and these are the biggest obstacles for Emperor Ruotingdeng.

Although unreasonable, it is also logical.

----------

"Has the letter been delivered?"

In Zhaoxiu Palace, Concubine Yu was rubbing her little hands and pacing up and down at the door, when she saw Qiulan returning in a hurry, she immediately stepped forward to inquire.

"Send it over." Qiulan said out of breath.

"Has she read the contents of the letter?"

"No, she told me to let it go and leave. She also said that we will see the outcome tonight. This servant estimates that Concubine Shu may hand over the letter to the emperor tonight."

Concubine Yu couldn't hide a smile on her face, she quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Qiulan to let her drink some water to catch her breath.

"Then trouble you to make another trip to the Changqing Palace and talk to Little Lizi about the time."

Qiulan responded, turned her head and ran out again.

When he arrived at the Changqing Palace, the crown prince was scratching his head and reciting the book, while Yu He was sitting on the side with a ruler in his hand, and would tap his palm if he didn't recite a sentence correctly.

Seeing Qiulan who was in a hurry, Yu He didn't bother to check the prince's endorsement, so he hurried over:

"How's it going."

Qiu Lan lowered her voice: "The letter has already been delivered, Concubine Shu means that the letter may be delivered tonight."

"I see, then I will inform Lin Zhaoyi and Concubine De now."

The imperial study room was brightly lit, and the emperor was reviewing the memorials presented by the ministers. Seeing that the drought in the north had improved, he was in a better mood——

"The concubine greets the emperor." Concubine Xi Shu came here uninvited.

The emperor put down his pen, closed his eyes and rubbed between his brows:

"It's not that you didn't like to run like this before. You thought this place was too bookish. Why did you come here today when you have time?"

Concubine Xi Shu bit her lower lip, her brows were tightly furrowed, looking very embarrassed.

"Just say what you have to say." The emperor waved his hand.

"Actually, this matter, I don't know if I should talk about it or not. If I say it, I am afraid that people will say that I am a villain who chews people's tongue behind my back. If I don't say it... I feel that I have wronged the emperor."

The emperor slowly opened his eyes: "What is so serious that you can wrong me."

Concubine Xi Shu tightly held the envelope in her hand, and slowly presented it:

"It's really hard for the concubine to speak, so I'd better ask the emperor to see it in person."

When the emperor took the letter, he saw a few large characters on the envelope:

"Accept my little Yu'er."

When he saw these words, he didn't realize that this matter had something to do with Concubine Yu, so he opened the letter carelessly——

He almost read the letter word by word. When he saw the signature, he felt the blood flow backwards all over his body, straight to the top of his head, and his body swayed twice.

On that day, there was a hysterical roar in the imperial study room:

"This pair of dogs and men!"

"The emperor is very angry." Concubine Xi Shu trotted over with a worried face, and handed the teacup to the emperor to let him calm down.

The emperor suddenly pushed her hand away, and the teacup hit the bookshelf and fell, breaking her body to pieces.

"And the concubine has long heard that my uncle has frequently been in and out of Zhaoxiu Palace in the past few days. The last time my mother and I met them in the Royal Garden, but the concubine suspected that someone deliberately obstructed it, because the concubine's sister has a good character and is really not like This is the kind of person."

"It's hard to know someone's face but know their heart!" The emperor's hands trembled violently, "I have raised two white-eyed wolves!"

"Your majesty, please calm down, otherwise we'd better invite the two of you to the imperial study to inquire clearly in person, so as not to hurt the innocent. After all, it's really hard to say that this harem is scheming."

The emperor slapped the desk: "Little Baozi! Bring me this pair of dogs and men!"

----------

As soon as Yu He came back from Jinrong Pavilion, he ran into Qiu Lan who was full of anxiety.

"Little chestnut! It's not good!"

"What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry." Yu He asked her, holding her back.

"My mother and the Ninth Prince have been taken to the imperial study!" Qiulan was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

"How is it possible..." Yu He was shocked.

"It's true. I heard that the emperor got very angry and said he wanted to execute my mother." Qiulan sobbed softly as she spoke, "How could this happen!"

Yu He tried his best to calm himself down, and began to review the matter carefully.

No, shouldn't the emperor be furious after reading the letter he wrote to Jinyuan imitating Concubine Xi Shu, and then order someone to drag this traitorous concubine down?Why did things develop like this.

Suddenly, Yu He suddenly raised his head.

Traitor!

These two words flashed across my mind in an instant.

Someone must have dropped that letter again!

"Qiulan, you go to Jinrong Pavilion and Zhaode Court first, and tell the two empresses not to come here, and wait for my news." After saying this, Yu He didn't dare to delay any longer, and went to the Imperial Study Room run.

Along the way, I met many maids and eunuchs, and they gathered together in small groups and whispered.

After Yu He listened for a while, he heard one of the eunuchs say:

"The emperor treats the imperial concubine and the Ninth Prince with all his heart and soul. It's unbelievable that the two of them would join forces to seek the throne, and they have been having an affair together for a long time. It's really embarrassing!"

To seek the throne? !

Cheating? !

Yu He almost fainted when he heard these words.

He barely stabilized his figure, stumbled and ran towards the imperial study.

When he passed by, Ruoting was already waiting at the door of the imperial study room, with tears streaming down his face, when he saw Yu He, he opened his mouth and burst into tears:

"What to do, my mother and concubine have been brought here! My father is very angry now, and has been clamoring to execute my mother and concubine, what should I do!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I'll go in and check the situation."

Leaving Ruoting behind, Yu He tiptoed to the door of the Imperial Study, and saw a group of Jinyi guards waiting outside, and the door of the Imperial Study was also wide open.

Concubine Yu and Yin Chixue were kneeling in front of the desk.

The emperor's eyes were red, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and the muscles on his face were trembling with the ups and downs of his emotions. He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and pointed at Concubine Yu:

"I have always kept you in my heart, and I have never disliked you because of your bad background. I have treated you with all my heart and soul for so many years, and even made your useless son a prince. What about you, is this how you repay me?!"

"No, your majesty, please listen to the concubine's explanation." Concubine Yu looked panicked, trembling all over.

"And you! Yin Chixue!" The emperor gritted his teeth and turned to Yin Chixue.

"I have never treated you differently because you and I were not born of the same mother. I have always regarded you as a brother, crowned you king, and bestowed countless gold and silver jewels, mansions, and even It's to please you! How about you, how did you repay me, want to usurp my power, take my throne, and even seduce my woman!"

As he spoke, tears burst from the emperor's eyes.

To be honest, he is more disappointed than angry now. He feels that he has never treated these two people badly, and he got something in the end.

Betrayed and ridiculed!

But unexpectedly, Yin Chixue didn't even say a word to refute, he just knelt there quietly without saying a word.

Yu He felt that his reaction was very wrong.

Suddenly, he remembered that he ran into Chuye by chance at the door of Yin Chixue's bedroom.

That's right, knowing that the ones I planned were Concubine Yu, Qiu Lan, Yin Chixue and the Prince, and this plan was all linked to their own reputation and life, so I wouldn't be so stupid as to tell the whole story to outsiders.

So the traitor, isn't he the one who seems to be loyal?

So the reason why the rumors about the prince's leaving the palace at that time were all because he had leaked the secret long ago.

Even so, Yin Chixue's silent attitude at this time is very strange, isn't it?

As for Concubine Xi Shu, who was sitting by the side, she looked like she was watching the show, and she even looked proud that everything was within her plan.

Yu He suddenly felt his whole body lose strength and slowly fell to the ground.

It's over, really, it's over.

"Yin Chixue, if you don't speak, you are acquiescing?" the emperor looked at Yin Chixue and asked softly.

Seeing that Yin Chixue seemed to have eaten a weight and was determined not to speak, the emperor finally couldn't help it, and cried loudly at his desk.

"I really misunderstood you... You are not kind... You are not kind! Is there anything more ridiculous than this in the world?"

"Your Majesty, you are too angry to hurt your body. Don't be so angry that you don't want to be angry with the ungrateful people."

Seeing the situation, Concubine Xi Shu stepped forward, gently hugged the emperor and patted his back to comfort him.

Yu He looked at Concubine Yu, who was weeping bitterly, and Yin Chixue, who was being scolded as a disloyal and unrighteous person. Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer. He hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really a huge misunderstanding!" Yu He said, and kowtowed vigorously.

It is said that a man has gold under his knees, but for the two of them, Yu He really went all out.

The moment Yin Chixue saw him, his eyes changed, very indifferent.

"In fact, all of this is the slave's plan. It is because the slave can't understand that the concubine Shu is domineering, and he can't understand that he has wronged Concubine De and Lin Zhaoyi, so he made such a bad plan. In fact, the letter was a slave imitating Shu. The concubine's handwriting is written to harm her!"

As Yu He spoke, he swallowed nervously: "The prince and the imperial concubine are innocent, the empress is devoted to you, and the prince is also loyal to you. Your Majesty, I hope you can learn from me."

The emperor froze for a moment, then slowly looked at Yin Chixue:

"What this servant said is the truth?"

Yin Chixue raised his head arrogantly: "No, he is talking nonsense."

Hearing this, Yu He froze for a moment, he was dumbfounded, his mind went blank.

"You, are you crazy to say such things?" Yu He crawled over, grabbed Yin Chixue's sleeve, and asked loudly.

Yin Chixue pushed him away calmly: "If you do it, you dare to admit it. It's just that I have always coveted the beauty of the imperial concubine. This matter has nothing to do with her. You really have to blame it, and I am the only one to blame."

"Are you really crazy? This matter has nothing to do with you!" Yu He was anxious, and grabbed Yin Chixue's collar, "What are you thinking!"

"Enough!" The emperor shouted angrily, "Send the prince back to the mansion first, ground him, and wait for my investigation to be clear. If there is really a usurpation of power, then push him to the execution ground."

The sense of fear expanded round and round, Yu He was pushed away in a daze, and then he watched Yin Chixue being pulled up from the ground and taken away from the imperial study.

"Concubine Yu was also shocked, let's send her back to the palace to rest first."

Throwing down such a sentence, the emperor refused to give Yu He even a spare look, and left anxiously with his hands behind his back.

When Concubine Xi Shu passed by Yu He's side, she smiled pervertedly. She lowered her voice and said arrogantly:

"You don't really think that a mere forged letter can do anything to me."

As she spoke, she sneered:

"Innocent."

After finishing speaking, she flicked her sleeves and followed the emperor to leave the Imperial Study Room.

----------

It was still sunny in the morning, but in the evening, it was covered with dark clouds, just like the impenetrable face of the emperor, which changed as soon as it was said.

The light rain fell heavily, and after a while, the rain became more and more intense. With the rolling thunder, the crying of the baby was instantly buried in the thunder.

The emperor dismissed the little eunuchs around him, and walked through the huge palace alone holding an umbrella.

The mood still hasn't calmed down for a long time.

Yin Chixue was recognized by the empress dowager as her own son when she was very young, and she regarded him as her own child. She was about the same age as him, and she has always regarded him as her own brother since she was a child, and she will always be the first to think of him when there are delicious and fun things to do. he.

But today he admitted in public that he had long been thinking about his concubine, and even about his throne.

The emperor slowly closed his eyes and threw the umbrella aside.

Fine raindrops fell on his face, and for a moment, he couldn't even tell whether it was rain or tears on his face.

Conspiracy is a serious crime against the nine clans. Once convicted, he must be executed in order to keep his throne.

So, do you really have the heart?

If I really had the heart, I wouldn't be throbbing in my heart like I am now.

But if one day Yin Chixue really wants to rebel, then there must be only one brother left.

Thunder came from afar, and lightning flashed across the sky, rendering this place as if it were daytime.

Only then did the emperor see clearly that he had unknowingly reached the Jinrong Pavilion.

When seeing Jinrong Pavilion, one would think of Concubine De and Lin Zhaoyi. He was already agitated by Yin Chixue's troubles, but when he thought of the troubles of that day, he was even more breathless.

The emperor took a deep breath, picked up the umbrella and turned to leave.

It's just that the moment he straightened up, he suddenly saw something very strange.

Yes, very strange.

On the long black outer wall leading to Jinrong Pavilion, two strange shadows were reflected on it.

No, not a shadow.

Because it is very clear, even the colors are very bright, more like, the soul...

One is a fresh face, and the other is Concubine Xi Shu.

She came out of Jinrong Pavilion with something in her arms, and disappeared like a ghost.

Lin Zhaoyi's maid, Xiao Qi, ran out crying, and was slapped severely by Concubine Xi Shu.

Not long after, she seemed to come back with something in her arms. This time the emperor saw clearly that she was holding a naked baby who was just born, and there was a red birthmark on the baby's waist, like is in the shape of a peach,

The emperor stared blankly at the thing that didn't know whether it was a ghost or something, and suddenly, a sense of fear came over him.

Thinking about it, he ran to Zhaode Courtyard.

Concubine De was coaxing her little daughter to breastfeed, suddenly, the door slammed loudly, and then she saw the emperor running in dripping wet.

"Emperor..." Before Concubine De could speak excitedly, the emperor directly interrupted her.

"Let me take a look." As he said, he hugged Mingxi and pulled off her swaddling clothes.

Sure enough, there was a dark red birthmark on Mingxi's waist.

The image of Concubine Xi Shu rushing past with the child in her arms kept circling in her mind.

Could it be that there is something strange in this?

Thinking about it, the emperor put Ming Xi back into the cradle, put his hands on Concubine De's shoulders, and said word by word:

"Concubine De, tell me the truth, is it true that you exchanged your own daughter for Lin Zhaoyi's son?"

When Concubine De heard these words, her heart turned cold:

"Is it true? Didn't the emperor already know about it?"

"Then I'll ask you again, after all, did Concubine Xi Shu instigate you to do this?"

Concubine De's eyes widened instantly, tears welling up in her eye sockets.

She looked at the emperor, buried her head in his arms suddenly, and cried miserably:

"Your Majesty, you are finally willing to trust me—"

The emperor gritted his teeth and slowly embraced Concubine De.

She has been tortured in Zhaode Court these days, not enough to eat, not warm, and always thinking wildly, always in a state of mental tension, the whole person is skinny, even holding her in her arms has an unrealistic feeling. Feeling of emptiness.

"You have been wronged." The emperor said softly, stroking her hair.

But at this time, Concubine De had completely forgotten about those complicated etiquettes in the palace, and just hugged the emperor tightly and kept repeating:

"You finally came to see me."

----------

In Changqing Palace, Yu He was sitting in front of the table, leaning on one of his arms, staring at the palace lantern in front of him in a daze.

Ruoting walked back slowly with drooping eyebrows.

"How is it, is the imperial concubine in a better mood now?" Yu He also asked half-deadly.

Ruo Ting nodded, sat next to Yu He, and sighed.

"Tell me, how did Concubine Xi Shu know about our plan, and the uncle's behavior today is too weird." Ruoting held his chin, thinking with his not-so-intelligent little head.

"There is a traitor." Yu He touched the lampshade of the palace lantern, feeling the warmth passing over his fingertips.

"The traitor? Who is it!" Ruoting immediately regained his spirits and almost jumped up.

"Isn't it just your foolish uncle's scheming whore, Comrade Chuye?" Yu He sighed.

"Oh my God, I always thought he was absolutely loyal to my uncle, but I didn't expect that this time he hurt my uncle and almost killed my concubine mother!" Ruo Ting slapped the table angrily.

"I'm just thinking now, your uncle admitted that, coveted the imperial concubine, and even coveted the throne, isn't that courting death?"

Ruoting rubbed his little head: "Conspiracy is a serious crime, my uncle, how is it possible."

The two simply leaned together, staring at the light rain outside the window in a daze.

"Your Highness, is Mrs. Lizi there?"

Just as he was feeling melancholy, he suddenly heard a strange inquiry.

Turning around, a little eunuch was standing at the door holding an umbrella.

"What's wrong?" Yu He immediately stood up.

The little eunuch wiped the rain from his forehead and said hastily:

"The emperor has called you over."

Yu He hadn't said anything yet, but Ruo Ting panicked when he heard it.

"It's about this time, why did the emperor call him over?"

The little eunuch shook his head: "This, the slave doesn't know."

Yu He put on his coat, held up the lantern, and said to Ruo Ting: "Then I'll go there first."

Ruo Ting grabbed him and shook his head, meaning not to let him pass.

Yu He forced a wry smile: "How dare I disobey the emperor's order."

After finishing speaking, he held up his umbrella and left Changqing Palace with the little eunuch.

The disturbing rain stopped and stopped, Yu He followed the little eunuch and kept opening and closing the umbrella, but he kept muttering in his heart.

It's time now, what did the emperor call him to do? Could it be that he knew that he and Yin Chixue were close, so he asked him to investigate Yin Chixue's treason?

Then you have to talk to him well.

Once Yin Chixue is really charged with this kind of crime, there will be no other ending except death.

The more Yu He thought about it, the more annoyed he was, and he simply shook the water off the umbrella vigorously as if to vent, and shook the head and face of the little eunuch next to him.

When I came to the imperial study, I saw that the lights were on inside, and there was a stove at the door, which was burning vigorously.

Yu He took a deep breath, secretly
