"Your Highness." The middle-aged woman said respectfully.

Xiao Yiheng nodded and said, "Let's go in and talk about it."

After walking in, the middle-aged woman closed the secret door, accompanied Xiao Yiheng into the tunnel, and came to an underground dark room through the passage.

The dark room is very large, more like a hall, with countless passages connecting this hall, the passage Xiao Yiheng walked down was only one of them.

Who would have thought that there was such a huge underground space under Xiao Yiheng's Chu Palace, and the other passages connected to the hall must lead to other places.

"Xiao Lie is dead." Xiao Yiheng said happily.

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said: "The King Jin is not dead, not only is he not dead, but the ten Yang organization assassins I carefully selected were wiped out."

"What? How is it possible?" Xiao Yiheng said in shock: "They are all assassin masters, especially the leader, a master of the fifth-rank peak realm. Can someone in the Jin Palace stop him?"

The middle-aged woman said: "I only heard about the incident this morning. It turns out that His Majesty sent Yan Qing, the commander of the Imperial Palace Guards, to protect Xiao Lie. He secretly shot an arrow and killed the assassin with the highest cultivation level! Your Majesty Yan Qing's archery skills I know."

Xiao Yiheng's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "My father? Father..."

A chill came up from the soles of his feet, making him shudder.

"How could my royal father know!" Xiao Yiheng still couldn't believe it: "To prove that I was attacked by an assassin, I was not only wounded by a sword, but also unconscious. Someone will assassinate Xiao Lie? How is it possible!"

"I've also thought about it for a long time. Either His Majesty's methods are so powerful today, His Majesty's schemes have been understood from the very beginning, and that's why he sent Yan Qing to protect Xiao Lie. Or, it's just a coincidence." The middle-aged woman said.

Xiao Yiheng was unwilling to believe the first possibility, if this was the case, then his father would be too scary.

"What does coincidence mean?" Xiao Yiheng asked hastily.

The middle-aged woman said: "The so-called coincidence is that His Majesty was worried that the assassin would assassinate other princes, so he sent experts in the palace to protect secretly. Every prince has a master. It's just that we only assassinated Xiao Lie, so we attracted Yan Qing."

"It's very possible, it must be so!" Xiao Yiheng firmly believed.

"But..." the middle-aged woman sighed: "If this is the case, then it doesn't make sense that His Majesty has transferred all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital."

"I'm still in a coma, why do you want to transfer all the imperial doctors?" Xiao Yiheng was so confused at this moment that he lost his calm judgment.

The middle-aged woman said: "Your Majesty has listened to Dongchang Hai Dafu's words. Hai Dafu said that His Highness's coma will not affect his life, but he will be in a coma. He must search for famous doctors all over the world. The people in the imperial hospital are powerless, so His Majesty directly withdrew the imperial physician. "

Xiao Yiheng's eyes were full of shock, he understood what the middle-aged woman meant.

Hai Dafu is His Majesty's close attendant, so what he said naturally meant His Majesty's intentions. Then, His Majesty transferred the imperial physician to keep him asleep.

Wasn't he poisoned and unconscious?Then sleep well.

This is punishment!

"So, I guess that His Majesty saw His Highness's plan, so he transferred the imperial physician and punished His Highness for his actions." The middle-aged woman said.

Xiao Yiheng took a deep breath, and said: "I still can't figure out how Father sees the truth. With your help, I'm really in a coma. I really can't figure out where the flaw is."

"Actually, there is another flaw, that is the assassin! If the assassin has been captured by Dongchang, the fact that the assassin did not poison will be exposed. This may be the reason why His Majesty saw the flaw!" said the middle-aged woman.

"The assassin has already been killed by Liu Feixue, how could it be revealed." Xiao Yiheng said.

The middle-aged woman said: "After all, I haven't seen the body of the female assassin, so I just doubt it."

"Liu Feixue has followed me for many years, she is loyal and will not lie to me." Xiao Yiheng said.

The middle-aged woman nodded, and said again: "I said that His Majesty is unpredictable today and should not be underestimated. Your Highness, don't panic too much. Your Majesty has already punished you in this way, which means that you will not go into it."

"Then I'll be in a coma during the day and sneak up like a mouse at night. When will it end?" Xiao Yiheng said angrily.

The middle-aged woman pondered for a while, and said: "It is now the 21st of the first lunar month, and it is estimated that it will enter February, and the exam will be imminent. Your Majesty will take back the punishment, and then you can find a reason to wake up."

"Ten days, a full ten days!" Xiao Yiheng sighed, "If I had known today, I shouldn't have insisted on going my own way and pretended to be unconscious to carry out this plan. Now it's good, I won't lose money by stealing chickens, and I was punished by my father. It's too late to regret."

The middle-aged woman said: "This is the end of the matter, Your Highness does not need to continue to worry. Just as I discouraged Your Highness before, Your Highness has the greatest advantage among all the princes, so why be too impatient? The more impatient, the easier it is to make mistakes, and even make the advantage become Disadvantage."

Xiao Yiheng sighed: "Yeah, I'm still too impatient. I always hoped to lock in the position of prince early, for fear that the night would be full of dreams. From now on, I will keep your words in mind, and I won't be so impatient."

"With His Highness's words, I feel relieved." The middle-aged woman smiled.

After midnight, the streets were silent.

Suddenly, a carriage came in a hurry, and when it came to a sudden stop in front of the Chu Palace, the driver opened the bead curtain, and a middle-aged man got out of the carriage, shouting: "Go knock the door!"

"Yes!"

The groom hurried forward and knocked on the gate of Prince Chu's mansion!

Chapter 247: Give King Chu a needle

Li Xiu'er was sleeping peacefully. In her dream, she dreamed of a little villain, with a wicked smile on her face, walking towards her step by step. She was about to get close to her, and she had already stretched out her...

"Dong dong..."

The hasty knock on the door suddenly woke Li Xiu'er up.

Li Xiu'er was in a daze. When she woke up suddenly, the scene in her dream was still vivid in her mind. She blushed, shook her head hurriedly, and asked, "Who?"

"Ma'am, the steward of the front yard came to report just now, Mr. Zhou Mingfa asked to see you! He is waiting in front of the mansion right now." A servant girl's voice came from outside the door.

Li Xiuer frowned, why did Xiao Yiheng's second uncle rush over at this hour?She immediately thought of Xiao Yiheng pretending to be unconscious, could it have something to do with it?

She was secretly vigilant, but then she thought of Xiao Rui's reminder to keep herself out of the matter, so she put on her clothes and went to the gate of the house.

"Uncle, it's so late, why did you come in such a hurry?" Seeing Zhou Mingfa, Li Xiu'er bowed and asked.

A smile appeared on Zhou Mingfa's serious face, and he said, "I dreamed at night that King Chu's poison was getting worse. After waking up, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. So come and see him. If he's fine, I'll go back and take a look and feel relieved."

Li Xiu'er naturally didn't believe this, but said: "Uncle cares about His Highness, if His Highness wakes up, he will be very touched. Uncle, I will take you there."

Zhou Mingfa said, "No need, it's hard work for you to take care of King Chu, go back to sleep earlier, let someone take me to have a look, I'll go back if I'm fine. Also, I ran out during the curfew, so don't say anything about it." , the people in the mansion should also warn me to avoid being known by the censor, and I have to be impeached again, one more thing is worse than one less thing."

"Don't worry, uncle, then I won't accompany you. I'll order someone to take you there." Li Xiu'er yawned deliberately, expressing fatigue, which fit Zhou Mingfa's rhetoric.

Afterwards, Li Xiu'er ordered the maid to take him to Xiao Yiheng's bedroom where he was resting.

In the underground secret room, Xiao Yiheng was talking with a middle-aged woman. He had just finished self-examination, and he would not be so aggressive in the future to prevent his advantage from becoming a disadvantage. There were footsteps in other passages, and a man in black appeared.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhou Mingfa, the left servant of the Criminal Department, has come to the mansion and is walking towards your room." The man in black said.

Sure enough, the passages connecting this hall all lead to other locations in Chu Palace.And these men in black are the most hidden power in Xiao Yiheng's hands, even the confidantes of the Wangfu don't know it.

Under normal circumstances, they all hide outside, but this time Xiao Yiheng used this power for the sake of planning.

"Why is he here?" Xiao Yiheng asked in surprise, and he looked back at the middle-aged woman.
