Stranger and Chen in the Palace

The next day, at dawn, Xue Zimo found Ling Muxue's imperial doctor.

"I have been guarding the princess for the past two days. Although I feel tired, I can't sleep at night. Please prescribe me some medicine to calm the nerves and promote sleep." Xue Zimo said.

The imperial doctor nodded without doubting him, brought some powdered medicine for Xue Zimo, and said: "My lord, don't take this medicine too much, otherwise it will make you fall asleep immediately."

"I see."

Xue Zimo took the medicine and left.

In Ling Muxue's room, Xue Zimo came to her bedside with a bowl of porridge, and called softly: "Princess, I brought you porridge, you can get up and drink some..."

Hearing this, Ling Muxue slowly opened her eyes, she looked at Xue Zimo with surprise and joy, and she couldn't believe it, did she finally impress him?

"Brother Zimo, I want you to feed me!" Ling Muxue took the opportunity to say coquettishly.

Xue Zimo smiled, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Ling Muxue's mouth, Ling Muxue drank it happily until the bowl of porridge was drained.

Soon, Ling Muxue felt drowsy, lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

Xue Zimo covered her with a quilt, walked to the door of the room, and told the maid outside the door: "You all step back, I want to stay here with the princess, you are not allowed to disturb."

"Yes." Several maidservants blessed themselves and retreated one after another.

Two maidservants turned their heads and saw Xue Zimo closing the door and chattering, with shy expressions on their faces.

Following the memory of last night, Xue Zimo found Ji Yue's marching route map, spread it on the table, picked up a pen and quickly made a copy, then hurriedly put it away, and put the original copy of the route map back to its original place.

After doing all this, he looked at Ling Muxue who was sleeping soundly on the bed, sighed, closed the door and walked away.

Walking to the gate of the princess mansion, Xue Zimo said to the guard: "When the princess wakes up, you will report to her. If I have to leave first, I will come to see her later."

The guards respectfully said to this man who is both a son-in-law and a left minister: "Okay, okay, go slowly, son-in-law."

Ye Pei was very surprised when he received Xue Zimo's letter. Xue Zimo would take the initiative to ask him to meet him.

Ye Peiyue came to the imperial mausoleum, and she saw Xue Zimo waiting there, and quietly stepped forward: "Why is Master Zuo free to see me?"

Xue Zimo turned around when he heard the words, and smiled gently at Ye Pei: "Young Master Ye, I have something I want to entrust you to deliver to Your Majesty."

"Oh, what is it?" Ye Peiqi asked.

What is it that he can't directly give to His Majesty, instead of handing it over by himself.

Xue Zimo handed it to him, Ye Pei opened it and said, "This is?"

Xue Zimo explained: "Ji Yue will raise troops in a few days. This is his marching route map. You will give it to His Majesty, and he will understand." After speaking, he added, "Please don't tell Your Majesty that I entrusted you to hand it over. "

There was a sneer on Ye Pei's face: "Master Zuo, do you think His Majesty would trust a male favourite?"

Xue Zimo smiled: "I believe that with Mr. Ye's intelligence, there will be a way."

Ye Pei stared at the road map in his hand: "Why are you looking for me?"

He could find many people, why did he find himself?

Xue Zimo smiled: "Because I know that you really like Your Majesty."

Since my father was involved in this incident, many officials in the court must have been instigated to rebel.It's about Ling Yichen's life, he can't take any risks, he can only rest assured if he gives it to someone who loves Ling Yichen as deeply as himself...

He made up his mind that if something happened to Dong Chuang, he would bear everything for his father.As for the princess, Ji Yue probably wouldn't betray her.

Ye Pei narrowed his eyes and put away the road map: "I will hand it over to His Majesty."

"Thank you!" Xue Zimo said sincerely.

Looking at Xue Zimo's disappearing figure, Ye Pei's eyes gradually turned cold.

He was right, he really liked His Majesty, but did he know that he really hated him too!

In Xihe palace.

A carrier pigeon flew in front of Ling Yichen, Shunde went over, took off the things from the carrier pigeon's feet and handed it to him.

Ling Yichen took a look, and his expression changed suddenly: "Summon Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong immediately."

Shunde saw that His Majesty's expression was not right, so he quickly stepped back to summon the two of them.

Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong came quickly, Ling Yichen handed over the blueprint to them, they looked at each other in surprise, it was Ji Yue's marching map!

They have no doubts about the source of this road map. His Majesty had secretly planted secret work in Ji Heng's army as early as the beginning of his ascension to the throne. This blueprint should have been passed on from there.

"Your Majesty, since we know that Ji Yue is planning to rebel, why don't we act first?" Xiao Ye suggested.

Huang Zaizhong also nodded in agreement.

Ling Yichen's eyes narrowed: "No, I have to wait for him to act first, so that I can justify accepting this army."

The 30 army in Ji Yue's hands has always been his confidant's serious problem, and now it happens to be resolved at once, and the general and political power is completely in his hands.

"That's right, this time he delivered it himself!" Huang Zaizhong laughed.

A thought flashed through Xiao Ye's mind, and he thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I feel that if Ji Yue only relies on these 30 people, it will be very difficult for him to succeed."

Ling Yichen nodded: "I understand what you mean, and I also suspect that someone in the court is colluding with him. You quickly send an order to the other side, ordering them to quickly investigate for me. Also, immediately notify Feng Yuan and prepare for the battle."

"Yes." The two stepped back.

Three days later, a list was placed on Ling Yichen's case, and there were a bunch of people's names listed on it. It was the list of those who participated in the rebellion sent back from the spy: Ling Muxue, Xue Jingting, Mo Qi...

Seeing Xue Jingting's name, Ling Yichen's heart trembled, and he searched eagerly, until finally he didn't see Xue Zimo's name, and he was relieved when he raised his anger for a moment.

It would be better without him!

He was so afraid of seeing Xue Zimo's name, that man wanted his life, all he needed was a word.But if he participated in the rebellion, it undoubtedly shows that:

He really doesn't have any feelings for himself...

Seven days later, Ji Yue rebelled against Ling Yichen on the grounds that Ling Yichen was fatuous and masculine, and that he would ruin the country if he didn't stand up. However, he was caught off guard by Feng Yuan, who had already been ambushing them during their march.

30 people were easily subdued by Feng Yuan's [-] people.

In the early morning of the next day, Xue Zimo did not see his father, and nearly one-third of the officials in the court disappeared. He remembered that those people were all his father's protégés.

Xue Zimo's heart tightened, did something happen? !

He hurriedly asked the officials next to him, only to hear the man say: "Master Zuo, you don't know that Ji Yue rebelled yesterday, and His Majesty sent people to arrest all the officials in the court who colluded with him at almost the same time... ..."

The speaker suddenly remembered that Xue Jingting, the chief criminal who was arrested, was the father of the prime minister in front of him, and the following words stopped abruptly.

Xue Zimo's brain exploded, it's impossible!

He only gave the marching route map, and did not mention the collusion between the courtiers and Ji Yue. How could Ling Yichen wipe out all the rebellious officials in such a short period of time?

He hastily turned around and rushed to Xihe Palace, but saw Ling Muxue's maid running towards him in a hurry, panting: "My son-in-law, it's not good, the princess has been arrested, go and rescue her!"

Xue Zimo nodded hastily, not caring about talking to the maid, and went straight to Xihe Palace.

He was just about to enter the main hall, but was stopped by Shunde: "Master Zuo, Your Majesty is not feeling well today, and no one is seen."

Xue Zimo said anxiously: "Shunde, please go in and report, I have something important to see Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has issued an oral order, and no one is seen." Shunde shook his head in embarrassment.

Xue Zimo was so anxious that he grabbed Shunde's hand: "Please, go in and report again. I really have something very important and I must see His Majesty immediately."

Seeing him, Shunde was really anxious, so he could only truthfully say: "Master Zuo, His Majesty just ordered that he doesn't want to see you!"
