Two days later.

Wandering Palace.

"Your Highness, how are you feeling?"

"Does it still hurt?"

Zi Ning knelt down beside the bed and asked in a low voice while helping Zhu Yunxi feed him, with slightly red eyes.

"I feel better already, no need to worry."

Zhu Yunxi squeezed out a smile and said slowly.

For two days in a row, he lay in bed, unable to go anywhere, not even turning over. The slightest movement would cause a bone-piercing pain from the wound.

In order to regain favor, the price he paid this time was indeed quite high, but fortunately it was all worth it.

"When you were sent back, you were covered in blood and there was a knife stuck in your chest, which frightened the slaves."

"Luckily you are okay, otherwise I really don't know what to do in the future."

Zi Ning held back her mouth and told her worries, tears could not help but fall from the corners of her eyes.

Living in this deep palace, maids with humble status like them all depend on their masters for all honor and disgrace. Although Zhu Yunxi has not been favored in recent years, fortunately, his life is not bad.

Especially in the past three years, although her status is still humble, her life in this wandering palace is indeed much better than that of the maids in other palaces.

If something happens to Zhu Yunxi, her future will become confusing, and she may be assigned to another palace to serve the new master. By then, who knows what the outcome will be.

She doesn't know since when, she has regarded Zhu Yunxi as her closest person, and the relationship has long been more than just a master-servant relationship.

"Why have you turned into a crying little cat?"

"Okay, don't cry anymore. I'm fine. Don't worry. It won't take long for the injury to heal. Then I will take you out to see the outside world."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, reached out to wipe the tears on Zi Ning's cheek, and said softly.

In fact, for him, in this deep palace full of intrigues and intrigues, Hong Yuan and Zi Ning are also the closest people around him and the people he trusts the most.

"real?!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Ning opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"real."

"But you can't be sad anymore. I'm not dead and crying all day long."

Zhu Yunxi nodded affirmatively and pretended to blame him.

"it is good!"

Zi Ning nodded vigorously, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiling through his tears.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Hongyuan dressed in red walked in quickly from outside.

After three years in the palace, it seemed that from the moment she decided to follow Zhu Yunxi, she had never worn clothes of any other color.

"Your Highness."

Hongyuan came closer, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunxi, and at the same time observed Zhu Yunxi's wound that was bandaged with gauze.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded, then looked at Hong Yuan and signaled Hong Yuan not to say more.

Hong Yuan has left the palace for two days and is responsible for contacting Lan Yu's old department. The results should have been obtained, but he doesn't want Zi Ning to know too much yet.

"Sister Hongyuan, you are finally back."

Zi Ning stood up and looked at Hong Yuan and said happily.

"Crying again?"

Hongyuan nodded, looked at Zi Ning whose face was full of tears, and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Hong Yuan's words, Zi Ning nodded sheepishly and hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face.

Hong Yuan has a cold temperament and rarely smiles at Zhu Yunxi, let alone Zi Ning. However, the two of them still get along well, and Zi Ning always treats Hong Yuan as her own sister.

"Zi Ning, I want to eat steamed buns."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zi Ning who looked embarrassed, and said with a smile, there seemed to be a hint of coquettishness in his words.

"Okay, slave, do it now!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Ning immediately agreed and walked out with a smile.

She has always known that His Highness loves steamed buns, and they often bring them back from outside the palace for her to eat. It is said that they are bought from Jiuyoujie.

Although she didn't know what kind of place Jiuyou Realm was, she remembered many interesting things about Jiuyou Realm mentioned by His Highness in the past year, and she remembered them very clearly, and she yearned for them very much.

However, due to her limited status, she could only make assumptions and could not see it in person.

However, after eating the steamed buns brought back by His Highness several times, she learned to make them according to their taste. Although the taste was not as good as those brought back by His Highness, His Highness still liked to eat them.

For her, this is already very satisfying.

"Are you okay?"

After Zi Ning left, Hong Yuan looked at Zhu Yunxi's wounds again and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, you can't die."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and answered slowly.

"If you encounter this situation again next time, you'd better inform me in advance. If I had known, I would have disabled both of his arms, and you wouldn't have been so seriously injured."

Hongyuan frowned and said seriously.

Thinking of what happened that night, she still feels a little scared.

"I also made an impromptu decision to use Wu Tong's death to make some fuss. Facts have proved that my decision was not wrong."

"Besides, if I hadn't been so seriously injured, I might not have been able to get so many benefits. Since I'm going to put on a show, I have to make it as real as possible!"

Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and said with a serious face.

What he cares about is not the so-called rewards, but Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards himself. If he wants to change his destiny, Zhu Yuanzhang is the first difficulty to overcome.

After all, an unfavored grandson is no different from an ant and will be trampled to death sooner or later.

After hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Hongyuan shook her head helplessly.

Over the past three years, she has become accustomed to Zhu Yunxi taking risks again and again, and with each success, she admires Zhu Yunxi more and more.

No matter what, he is always right, at least so far, and has never been wrong.

"How are things going?"

Zhu Yunhe glanced outside the palace door and asked slowly.

"We have contacted some people. Although Wu Tong died at the hands of His Highness, they did not dare to say anything more after seeing the Yanzi Order. This thing is indeed useful."

As Hong Yuan spoke, she took out the Yan Zi Ling from her arms and handed it to Zhu Yunxi.

"This thing is too eye-catching. It's better for you to keep it safe. I don't want to be discovered when I go to Minghe Hall to pay my respects."

Zhu Yunxi pushed the Yanzi Ling to Hong Yuan, shook his head and said.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Hongyuan couldn't help but froze for a moment and looked at Zhu Yunxi in surprise.

You must know that this Yanzi Token is of extraordinary significance to Zhu Yunxi. After all, with this token alone, he can mobilize the old Lan Yu troops at will. This means that whoever owns the Yanzi Token has an indispensable army. A force to be underestimated.

"Don't look at me like that, and don't be grateful. I just believe that I won't look at the wrong person."

"You don't want to imitate Zi Ning and cry for me, do you?"

Seeing Zi Ning's expression, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly waved his hands and joked.

"would not!"

Hong Yuan curled her lips and said disdainfully while putting away the Yanzi Ling.

After Zhu Yunxi heard this, he couldn't help but grin.

Although he didn't know Hong Yuan's origin, after three years of getting along with her, he had enough to understand what kind of person Hong Yuan was.

Everyone may betray him, but only Hong Yuan and Zi Ning will not.

"By the way, I heard the news when I returned to the palace. Xie Ji is dead."

"Your Majesty should already know that he was bribed by you."

Hongyuan paused, frowned and said.

"You guessed it, he is so greedy for money and has neglected his duties more than once. It will be a matter of time before he is exposed."

"Although the cause is mine, I won't feel guilty."

"And with my current weight in Grandpa Huang's heart, even if he already knows that everyone in this wandering palace except Zi Ning was brought in from outside the palace, he won't do anything to me."

"After all, all of them thought that you were the only master beside me."

Zhu Yunxi snorted lightly and said lightly, with a meaningful sneer gradually showing at the corner of his mouth.

"In addition, Xiao Huan, the commander of the personal guards, led people in disguise and entered the Jiuyou Realm, conducting secret investigations for two days."

Hong Yuan continued to add.

"He didn't notice anything, right?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"No, most of the people I contacted have been sent to the ghost cave by me, and some of them have been placed in various places in the Nine Nether Realm, using identities that were forged in advance, so they can't find out."

"It seems that the court really takes this matter of rebellion against the party seriously, otherwise it would not directly send Jin Wuwei in to investigate secretly."

Hong Yuan gave a reassuring look and said slowly.

"This shouldn't be Xiao Huan's own idea."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"not him?"

"Is it...Xu Huizu?!"

Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face...
