"I suspect there is something wrong with this. Maybe there is something fishy about my brother's death."

Although Xu Jinyi knew about this, she had to inform Sister Ouyang of the news before she entered the palace.

She needs to confirm the news that her brother is not dead through her hands, so that the emperor can help investigate.

Ouyang Zhixia shook Xu Jinyi's hand excitedly: "Yes, yes, it must be true. Your brother must not be dead, otherwise how could they not let us see him."

"They must be afraid that we will find out something."

"Shh!" Xu Jinyi made a silent gesture.

"Sister Ouyang, this is just our guess. We need you to confirm this next."

Ouyang Zhixia looked at Xu Jinyi and widened her eyes: "What do you mean...?"

"Yes, open the coffin!"

Ouyang Zhixia just thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, then I will let people steal the body tonight."

It was so cold, so the body must not have rotted.

She believed that she would be able to tell whether the body was that of Haoran or not.

"Then you go back with me first. When we find your brother, everything will be solved."

Xu Jinyi shook her head, her expression became more serious: "Sister Ouyang, have you ever thought about, if this time is true and my brother is still alive, why doesn't he come back?"

"Why did Chen Ziyi categorically say that he saw his brother die with his own eyes, and why did my father recognize the body even though he knew it was not his brother's?"

"And my father dared to treat me like this, as if he was sure that my brother would not come back to save me."

"Is it really that easy to find my brother? Do we have such great ability?"

Ouyang Zhixia covered her mouth and looked solemn: "Who is it? Who can make your father Chen Ziyi obey?"

"Will Haoran be in a dangerous situation now?"

Xu Jinyi held her hand: "So we can't be chaotic, let alone be hasty, and we can't show anything wrong."

"We can't let anyone know that we found out that my brother is not dead."

Ouyang Zhixia looked at Xu Jinyi who seemed to have grown up overnight. In addition to being heartbroken, she also felt ashamed.

Since Haoran's death, she has been immersed in sadness. If Yi'er hadn't discovered something was wrong, what would Haoran have done.

"Sister Ouyang, what you have to do now is to find someone you can trust to steal the body."

"After you are sure, stay still and wait for my news. Remember that you must not let anyone find out what you know."

"I'll come back to you."

Ouyang Zhixia pulled Xu Jinyi: "Where are you going? Your brother is the only relative like you. I can't watch you being taken back."

"I have more important things to do." Xu Jinyi said.

"Tell me, what are you going to do? Is there any danger? If something happens to you and your brother comes back, how will I explain to him?"

Xu Jinyi had no choice but to tell her her plan.

Ouyang Zhixia heard the words but objected repeatedly: "No, how can I let you enter the palace? What kind of place is the harem? It is a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones. Once you go in, you can't get out."

"Besides, there is Concubine Wu in the harem. If you go in, you are sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Can she let you go?"

"There must be other ways, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the palace."

Xu Jinyi held her cold hand: "Sister Ouyang, this is the best way. Now that the Wu family is in charge, she has the final say in my marriage. Will she hope that I marry well?"

"Even if my brother comes back, will we have the ability to resist?"

Xu Jinyi shook her head: "Since my appearance is what they use to win over people, why not use it to get into a lower position and strengthen myself."

"Only if we are stronger than them, we will not be bullied."

Ouyang Zhixia frowned, knowing that what Xu Jinyi said was right, rights were really important.

"But the emperor is a lunatic. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. That road is not easy to follow."

"And your brother will not agree to sacrifice you to save us."

Xu Jinyi looked at her expression and became serious: "Then what? Do we have to wait until we are about to cry before we resist?"

"Sister Ouyang, after you confirm the good news, send someone to deliver the news to the palace. Before my brother comes back, you must protect yourself and take a guard with you when you go out. It is best to go out less often."

Knowing that Xu Jinyi could not be stopped, Ouyang Zhixia could only look at her with tears in her eyes.

"Quick! The eldest lady is over there!"

Xu Jinyi's eyes narrowed and she saw several servants running towards them not far away.

"Miss, run quickly, they are coming." Su Mian ran over and shouted.

Xu Jinyi didn't expect that people in the mansion would find out that she had escaped so quickly.

In her previous life, she ran away for several days, and they didn't find out until they were about to send her to the Wu family on the third day.

But in her previous life, she escaped alone, without Su Mian.

Without Su Mian as a cover, they might have discovered it when they were delivering the food and no one came out to pick it up.

"Sister Ouyang, I'm leaving, please take care of yourself."

"Yi'er, change your cloak and I'll help you lure them away."

Xu Jinyi didn't think much about it. She couldn't run fast at all, and it would be a big trouble if she was caught back.

After changing their cloaks, the two ran in different directions.

"Miss, where are we going now?"

"Royal Palace!"

Xu Jinyi did not dare to delay for a moment. Since the mansion had discovered that she was not here, all the people must have been sent out to look for her.

Once captured, finding a chance to escape would be even more difficult than climbing to heaven.

Su Mian had no time to be surprised and could only listen to Xu Jinyi and rush to the palace.

Seeing this, the secret guard in the dark returned to the palace to resume his life.

Knowing that Xu Jinyi was running towards him, a smile flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"Wang Yun, go to the palace gate to pick you up, and be careful."

"First take the queen to the Yangxin Hall, arrange more people to serve her, and prepare food, clothing, and supplies. Don't let her freeze."

Because several ministers in the council chamber were still waiting, even if the emperor wanted to pick them up in person, he would have to wait until it was over.

The emperor was extremely dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xu when he heard from the secret guard that the little girl had escaped, had no use for lunch, and was wearing thin clothes.

Wang Yun agreed, feeling surprised and curious about who the emperor asked him to pick up.

Who could make the emperor smile and make him think about him so much lately?

She was even willing to be granted the title of queen. The imperial concubine had been looking forward to the position of queen for a long time, and the ministers had been urging the emperor to establish a queen. However, after several years, the emperor had no intention of establishing a queen.

Now it seems that this person outside the palace may be something great in the future.

Can someone who can be taken seriously by the emperor not rise so high in the future?

It seems that he needs to be taken care of well.

Wang Yun withdrew and called a few followers: "You, go to the Yangxin Hall and light the red charcoal. Make sure the Yangxin Hall is warmed up."
