late at night.

Xiao Ruoyun took Gu Ruanruan outside the palace.

This decision was so hasty that Gu Ruanruan didn't even have the chance to ask Xiao Ruoyun about his plans. When the two of them were panting and waiting for the workers to report, Gu Ruanruan asked in a low voice: "Does your husband have any connections in the palace? Can you talk to Er Yuan?" Confrontation between princes?"

Xiao Ruoyun's expression was complicated, and there was determination in his eyes that he had never seen before: "If there is anyone in this world who can fight against the second prince, there is only one, and that is your majesty."

Gu Ruanruan didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"Instead of telling the second prince what you have in your hands, it is better to tell His Majesty! You are valuable and Your Majesty will not ignore it. At least you can get temporary stability. As for the future... take one step at a time and see what happens next. Bar."

Xiao Ruoyun told him his plan, and Gu Ruanruan thought for a moment and agreed.

Originally, her plan was to support Xiao Ruoyun step by step to reach a high position, but now she just changed the method out of desperation, and there was no other way.

But a moment later, there was a sudden noise behind him. Gu Ruanruan looked back and his heart tightened instantly!

The Second Prince’s people are here!

Gu Ruanruan held Xiao Ruoyun's hand tightly, and Xiao Ruoyun also became nervous. He had some boxing and kicking skills, but it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. The second prince had too many people!

At this moment, the side door of the palace opened, and the palace attendant said: "Come in, Mr. Xiao, Your Majesty is free now."

The emperor is in a good mood today, and Concubine Zhou has just diagnosed a happy pulse.

He is already at an age where he knows his destiny and has no illusions about his heirs. There has been no news in the palace in recent years. Now the good news in Concubine Zhou's belly makes him very happy!

At this moment, he had just visited Concubine Zhou and was in a good mood. Hearing that Xiao Ruoyun had important matters to discuss in the middle of the night, he actually agreed to let him enter the palace.

When he saw the two of them, he realized that they were in a mess, and he immediately frowned: "What's going on?"

At this moment, someone reported again: "Your Majesty, the second prince wants to see you!"

Gu Ruanruan and Xiao Ruoyun looked at each other, and Xiao Ruoyun suddenly knelt down: "Please don't let the second prince enter the palace first. What I said may be related to the fate of the country!"

......

The second prince waited outside the palace for a while, and received the news that the emperor had taken a rest and asked him to come back another day.

The second prince's expression became masculine.

The people under my command persuaded: "Second Prince, why don't we leave first?"

The second prince glanced at the palace door reluctantly, waved his sleeves and left.

"Xiao Ruoyun, do you think you can protect you by looking for your father?" He sneered: "When my father becomes ruthless, I can't match him!"

......

It was already the next day when Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu got the news.

Because on this day, the morning meeting was cancelled.

The news came very suddenly. Although the emperor was old, he was still diligent in his duties. Unless he had any serious health problems, he rarely missed going to court.

Before Xiao Yanlin could ask anyone to inquire about it, the secret guard guarding Xiao Ruoyun came with news.

"Yesterday, the Second Prince's people surrounded the Second Master's house. There were too many people, and there were a few masters. The subordinates were afraid of disturbing the situation, so they only came to report now. I forgive you, Lord Marquis."

After that, the secret guard told what happened yesterday.

He talked about Gu Ruanruan being invited to the second prince's residence, and also said that the two of them entered the palace together and have not returned yet.

Xiao Ruoyun was still sorting out clues in his mind, but Gu Baiyu guessed the possibility of the matter very keenly this time.

"The second prince was afraid that he would jump over the wall in a hurry and wanted to take action from Gu Ruanruan to protect himself. Perhaps he pushed someone into a panic, so these two people went to seek your majesty's help."

Xiao Yanlin frowned. He was not stupid. He had known before that there was something about Gu Ruanruan that he didn't know about. Now after Gu Baiyu's reminder, he quickly realized: "Gu Ruanruan still has something in his hand that can make the second prince stand up." ability?"

Gu Baiyu hesitated for a moment and said: "She knows some things, but I don't know the details. There may be some things she has hidden."

Even in her previous life, when she was in the back house, she didn't know much.

But what is certain is that Gu Ruanruan and Xiao Ruoyun must have a lot of leverage to break up with the second prince and go to the emperor instead.

So, what is it?

Xiao Yan saw her thinking hard and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to find out something."

Gu Baiyu pulled him and shook his head: "If Your Majesty hasn't released the person now, it means that the thing in her hand is very heavy. I'm afraid of disturbing the situation. In this way, I will ask Concubine Zhou to help find out."

Xiao Yanlin was a little worried: "Is this possible? Will it affect the Zhou family?"

"Don't worry, sister is smarter than me, and she is the most measured. If she really can't find out, she won't take risks."

Xiao Yanlin thought for a while, and the things in Gu Ruanruan's hands must involve the previous dynasty, so the emperor was so cautious and did not even hold an early dynasty. Perhaps it would be easier to start from the harem.

So, Gu Baiyu sent someone to send a message to Concubine Zhou.

This time Lingyu went there in person, and Gu Baiyu told her roughly the whole story, and also reminded that Gu Ruanruan might have a big bargaining chip in his hand.

Lingyu took the order and went. Gu Baiyu waited for a long time before Lingyu came back.

"Madam, I waited outside the palace for Concubine Zhou's reply before coming back. She said she had some clues. If everything goes well, she would send someone out to spread the word. If it doesn't go well, let the lady and the Marquis wait and see what happens, and don't alert others."

At this time, the palace.

Gu Ruanruan and Xiao Ruoyun have been placed and "supervised".

The emperor had many things on his mind, sometimes looking happy and sometimes frowning.

The eunuch watched carefully and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go and have a rest first? I haven't slept all night."

Just when the emperor was about to nod in agreement, someone hurriedly came over: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhou is unwell!"

The emperor was now very interested in Concubine Zhou, and after hearing about it, he immediately took people there.

The imperial doctor was already making a diagnosis, and after a while he prescribed some decoction for Concubine Zhou before replying: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhou is fine, but she was a little unstable, so she had fetal motility, but it's not serious, just... "

The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment, thinking of the benefits that Concubine Zhou had promised him, and gritted his teeth and said: "Concubine Zhou is the first child, maybe she is afraid. If your Majesty has time, it would be best to spend more time with the concubine."

The imperial doctor lowered his head, thinking that Concubine Zhou just wanted to see the emperor a few more times, and it shouldn't be a big deal if he said a few more words.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and sighed: "She is still young. Even though she is usually fearless, this is her first time to be a mother. She should, she should."

After saying that, he went in to see Concubine Zhou.

Concubine Zhou was nestled in the emperor's arms. The emperor touched her hair and said, "The imperial doctor said you are mentally unstable. What's wrong? But someone is making things difficult for you?"

Concubine Zhou shook her head: "No, I am just a little scared..."

She said and touched her belly carefully: "I always feel that what I am holding in my arms is His Majesty's baby. I am afraid that I cannot take good care of him."

Concubine Zhou was speaking without intention, but the emperor was listening with intention.

Why doesn't he have a troublesome baby now?

"So scared? Don't worry, no one in this palace dares to take advantage of the child in your belly."

Concubine Zhou snuggled tighter: "I know that your majesty is my sea-fixing needle. I heard your majesty right. Your majesty will not harm me!"

The emperor's eyes became dark and he murmured: "Dinghai Shenzhen..."
