The night was like ink, and the lights of Xiao Yushi's mansion swayed in the night, as if telling an unknown secret. Xiao Yushi stood quietly in front of the window, looking through the window lattice into the boundless darkness. His eyes were deep and complicated, as if he was looking for something.

"Butler, I leave it to you, old lady." Xiao Yushi turned around and continued to give instructions in a low voice to the butler beside him. The housekeeper nodded, with a solemn look on his face. He knew that there must be something big going on with the master.

Xiao Yushi gently put on his cloak to cover his figure, and then quietly walked out of the mansion. After getting on his horse, his figure gradually disappeared in the night, as if he had merged into the darkness.

At the same time, the Yikun Palace in the palace was brightly lit. The emperor sat on the dragon couch, his brows furrowed and worried. Empress Changsun sat aside, her eyes gentle and concerned, as if trying to soothe the emperor's inner irritability.

"Your Majesty, are you worried?" Queen Changsun asked softly.

The emperor sighed and spoke slowly: "I am thinking about the emperor's grandmother."

Empress Changsun was slightly startled. She did not expect that the emperor would suddenly mention this matter. She knew that the imperial grandmother had always had a special status in the emperor's heart, but she didn't understand why the emperor was so troubled.

"The Imperial Grandmother seems to have behaved unusually in recent days. I am worried that she is hiding something from us." There was a trace of worry in the emperor's tone.

Empress Changsun gently held the emperor's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, the imperial grandmother has always been far-sighted. She must have her own intentions in doing this. We just need to wait patiently and believe that everything will come to light."

The emperor nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate. He knew that the imperial grandmother's decisions were often related to the fate of Daqing, and he could not take it lightly.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Empress Changsun was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Does the emperor's grandmother have other plans?" The emperor shook his head slightly, with a trace of confusion in his eyes: "I thought so too at first, but after investigation, she Neither the army nor the Emperor's army has been mobilized, and it seems that there are no other plans."

The emperor became more and more puzzled. Why did the emperor's grandmother sacrifice these four thousand people? "This Xiao Yunxi seems to be a hidden danger now." The emperor frowned, "She actually wanted to remonstrate in front of me that day. It would be fine if she really had real talent and learning, but I checked and found that she is just a mediocre person. generation."

Empress Changsun also heard about Xiao Yunxi. She heard that the imperial grandmother was full of praises for her. Even Mrs. Beiminghou, Princess Linglong and Princess Anyang praised her highly. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, how could the Imperial Grandmother harm Daqing? Maybe there is something special about Xiao Yunxi."

Queen Changsun's voice was as gentle as water. Whenever the emperor heard such a voice when he was upset, he would always find a moment of peace in his heart. However, today, he still felt restless.

The emperor was not a king who liked to use troops. Over the years, most of the southern and northern wars were out of helplessness. They were more about defending territory than taking the initiative to attack. He knows the importance of peace and is always looking for more ways to achieve peace. But now, the royal grandmother's behavior made him feel more confused than ever before.

"Maybe we need to get to know Xiao Yunxi more deeply." Empress Changsun suggested softly, "Maybe she can bring us some new revelations."

The emperor was silent, but his heart was in turmoil. He knew that he needed time to sort out all the mysteries.

The emperor nodded in agreement. He knew that this task required caution and not rashness.

A contest concerning the fate of Daqing quietly kicked off in the night...
