Chu Heyi seemed to sense something and turned around. He saw that Xie Lin's face was pale and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he had just experienced a difficult journey and all his strength was exhausted.

"What's going on?" She just noticed that Xie Lin opened his eyes. Was it an illusion?

Chu Heyi asked someone to get a basin of warm water, soaked a towel in the warm water, wrung it dry, and wiped the sweat off Xie Lin's forehead.

"Could he have heard what Baihua said just now, so he's anxious?" Chu Heyi thought so, his eyes becoming more profound.

She stared at Xie Lin for a long time before calling Gan Sui over. She told Gan Sui what had just happened and asked, "I was wondering if I could tell him something that made him anxious, so that he would wake up?"

Gan Sui immediately stepped forward to check Xie Lin's pulse. After a thorough examination, he agreed with Chu Heyi's statement: "Although the prince has not woken up yet, his condition is much better than before. The Crown Princess can try the method you just mentioned."

"Okay!" Gan Sui's words injected infinite strength into Chu Heyi's heart.

But she couldn't think of anything to stimulate Xie Lin, so she just sat beside him for a long time, and it was dark in the blink of an eye.

In the dark night, Lord Yin's words and deeds came to her mind again. She called Xue Jinfei in, and directly told Xue Jinfei the news that Baihua had found out outside, next to Xie Lin.

She said, "To be honest with you, Lord Xue, I suspect Lord Yin is still working for Prince Cheng and his wife, but I have no evidence."

Xue Jinfei understood what she meant. Chu Heyi wanted him to secretly investigate Lord Yin, but he had one question that puzzled him.

He said: "Mr. Yin's words and actions are indeed inappropriate, but why does the Crown Princess think that Mr. Yin is working for King Cheng and his wife?

"Prince Cheng and his wife have fled to Yanzhou City. Although they have declared themselves kings, they are still defeated by you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if there is a war in the future, they will not have much chance of winning. Lord Yin's family is in Shengjing City and has a deep foundation. Why did he choose to be loyal to Prince Cheng and his wife? I think his move is not worth it no matter how you look at it."

In other words, he couldn't figure out what motivated Lord Yin to do this.

Chu Heyi said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill and cannot handle state affairs for the time being. If Lord Yin helps King Cheng and his wife get rid of me, Lord Xue, don't you think their chances of winning are slim?"

Chu Heyi smiled and continued, "Besides, in Lord Yin's eyes, I am just a woman, not to be feared at all. He thought it would be easy to get rid of me, so he dared to contradict me in Zichen Palace and then said such words outside, slandering my reputation and trampling on my face!"

Xue Jinfei's eyes suddenly widened.

Chu Heyi continued, "When His Royal Highness King Cheng was still in Shengjing City, Lord Yin chose to follow His Royal Highness King Cheng. Now that His Royal Highness King Cheng has fled to Yanzhou City, Lord Yin feels that he will no longer be valued in Shengjing City.

"Although he lacks ability, he has great ambitions. How can he accept such a situation? Naturally, he wants to make a small investment to win a big investment. It just so happens that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sick and weak. I am a woman, and in his eyes, I am an ant that can be manipulated at will. Of course, he must stir up trouble and create opportunities for the Cheng Wang and his wife! In the future, he will be able to rise to prominence!

"If I fail, in his eyes, a woman like me won't be anything to be feared."

Xue Jinfei was stunned. He felt that Chu Heyi's tone was firm and her voice was loud. How could she be a weak girl?

Lord Yin has made a mistake. He wants to take advantage of the Crown Prince's serious illness to force the Crown Princess out of office, but he will fall sooner or later.

He said, "I understand. I will now secretly investigate Lord Yin and look for evidence of his collusion with King Cheng and his wife!"

Chu Heyi said solemnly: "Please trouble Lord Xue for everything. I am waiting for your good news!"

After Xue Jinfei left, Chu Heyi returned to Xie Lin's bedside. He was still sleeping, with no sign of waking up, as if the conversation between her and Xue Jinfei just now was completely unheard of in his ears.

Afternoon the next day.

Lord Yin and a few good friends gathered in a restaurant and drank.

After drinking to their heart's content, one of them asked, "Brother Yin, what if this offends the Crown Princess? I heard that when the Crown Princess was still in the boudoir, she dared to shoot Concubine Zheng with a bow and arrow. She is truly a daughter of a general."

Lord Yin was slightly drunk. He raised his index finger, shook it a few times, and said, "At that time, Daqi still needed men from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to guard the northern border, so she dared to shoot Concubine Zheng!

"Things are different now. As the Crown Princess, if she attacks me because of a rumor, it will only confirm those rumors. Then her position as the Crown Princess will be unstable. Many people will join forces to take her down."

After taking another sip, Lord Yin continued, "Besides, what's wrong with what I said? Princess Cheng introduced the curved plow, which greatly benefited the people, but what does the Crown Princess have? She is not as good as Princess Cheng!"

Someone said, "The Crown Princess was asked to marry by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has her in his heart, we cannot offend her! When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne to become the Emperor, she will be the Queen Mother."

Lord Yin's smile deepened. He was drunk, but his face had an expression that said "everyone else is drunk but I am sober".

"Even if His Royal Highness has her in his heart, he won't make the decision for her!"

Everyone was shocked and asked in unison: "Why?"

Someone asked: "I heard that when Zheng Wenkang assassinated the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince, who was still the Imperial Court Justice at the time, blocked two arrows for the Crown Princess and almost lost his life. How could he not stand up for the Crown Princess?"

Lord Yin smiled mysteriously: "Do you think that the Crown Prince has not been dealing with state affairs because he is sick and needs to rest?"

Everyone was shocked again and asked, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Lord Yin answered firmly: "...The fault lies with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He blocked those two arrows for the Crown Princess in the past. Those two arrows made His Royal Highness the already weak body even worse.

"On the night of the power seizure, the Crown Princess disappeared, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been trying to find her. After finding her, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was at the end of his strength, has been in a coma until now!"

It took him a lot of effort to find out this news. It was only after getting this news that he dared to launch an attack on Chu Heyi and drive him out of office.

By that time, the palace would be in chaos. He took the opportunity to control the government and wait for His Royal Highness King Cheng to return so that he could open up the world.

As the greatest contributor, he naturally rose to prominence and was granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister.

The supreme power has always been gained by risking one's life. Besides, dealing with Chu Heyi this time is simple and does not require him to risk his life. Why not do it?

"Ah!" The other ministers exclaimed in disbelief, but after thinking about it, they felt that this possibility was very high.

The Emperor was seriously ill and was not in charge of state affairs. Prince Cheng and his wife were defeated and fled to Yanzhou City. The Northern Zhou Dynasty was approaching with great force. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not been in a coma, how could he be willing to let his beloved girl bear such great pressure?

What Lord Yin said is probably true.

Lord Yin was feeling proud when he saw their reaction, but a servant came to report: "Sir, the Crown Princess has personally led people to surround the Yin Mansion!"
