Xi Yutong stayed at the mansion, went down with Xiaotao and changed into comfortable clothes, and then sat in the small courtyard.

The housekeeper was worried that she was hungry, so she had already prepared pastries, so she moved them to the table in the yard.

"Miss, how do you think Xiaohe is doing now?" Xiaotao asked melancholy while eating a snack, "Xiaohe doesn't have many acquaintances there, so it must be very boring."

Xi Yutong heard the words and looked up at her: "Then do you want to go back and accompany her?"

Xiaotao shook her head immediately: "There's nothing to eat, and there's nothing fun to do. The servants are just bored when they go."

Xi Yutong laughed: "I told Xiaohe to let her find a chance to go back to Beijing. I think she will be able to see her in a few days, so you don't have to worry."

"I'm not worried, servant." Xiaotao angrily picked up a piece of pastry and threw it into her mouth, "Anyway, she will bully me with Miss, so it's better if she doesn't come back."

Xi Yutong knew that Xiaotao was duplicity, but he didn't expose the other party, and gave a perfunctory "hmm", thinking of Feng Yuyi who entered the palace.

According to the patrolling level of the soldiers outside, the patrolling in the palace must be strong but not weak.

Although Feng Yuyi is highly skilled in martial arts, but there are many soldiers in the palace, what if he is really discovered...

"Miss, ma'am."

Xi Yutong regained consciousness, and patted Xiaotao's waving hand away, "What's wrong?"

"I want to ask what's wrong with the lady." Xiao Tao muttered, "The servant asked you a question, but you didn't respond."

Xi Yutong touched the tip of her nose resentfully, "I was distracted just now, and I didn't hear what you asked clearly, or why don't you ask again now?"

Xiaotao looked at her suspiciously, hesitated for a while, but still didn't ask, "It's just a trivial matter, let's forget it if you didn't hear clearly." Then, she picked up a piece of snack and handed it to Xi Yutong, "Miss, this jujube cake tastes good. try."

Xi Yutong took it over, put it aside, and looked at her: "Is it really a trivial matter?"

Xiaotao felt guilty, but she nodded her head bravely, then picked up another jujube cake with her head down and ate it, saying vaguely, "It's delicious."

Seeing her like this, Xi Yutong didn't ask any more questions.After all, everyone has their own concerns, if Xiaotao can't solve it, she will definitely ask her.Since he didn't open his mouth to ask, it was not serious enough.

Taking a look at Xiaotao, she picked up another piece of jujube cake and found it tasted really good, so she couldn't help but eat two more pieces.

When Shen Shi arrived, Feng Yuyi came back.

Xi Yutong heard the message from the servant, and was about to go out to meet him. Before he walked out of the yard, he saw the other party coming towards him. Not smooth?"

Feng Yuyi nodded, "It's much stricter than I imagined."

She sneaked into the palace, but found that the soldiers in the palace were almost every three steps, and there was a small group of patrols every five steps, and there was no room for sneaking in at all.It was the same, she stayed for half an hour and then gave up.

"Don't you say that you can only confirm something if you see His Majesty?" Xi Yutong glanced at no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Since the night attack is not given a chance, then I will go in openly." After Feng Yuyi waited for his hands to warm up, he put the heater back into Xi Yutong's hands, "The emperor is seriously ill, and the ministers are visiting, so we can always see each other. "

When Xi Yutong heard the words, he thought of the person/skin mask that could be disguised, and immediately understood.

"It's just..." Xi Yutong hesitated, stopped and looked at the person in front of him, "An Ning, do you still remember... the reason why the emperor was seriously ill earlier?"

Feng Yuyi was taken aback for a moment, knowing that she would not bring up this matter for no reason, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Didn't you say that it was a relapse of an old illness, and that you died because of being exhausted from being imprisoned by Feng Yuqi?" After finishing speaking She shook her head because she remembered the memory exchange with Xi Yutong.

"Actually, it's not a relapse of the old illness, but the Second Highness poisoned him." Xi Yutong held her hand, "Your Majesty is worried that if you find out, it will affect his image in your mind, and you feel that he has failed so much that even his son hates him." The speed of getting rid of it made me hide this matter."

Feng Yuyi was silent.

"I'm sorry." Xi Yutong felt a little guilty, "At that time, His Majesty's life was dying, and——"

"It's okay." Feng Yuyi interrupted her, and raised his hand to stroke her hair, "At that time, the person was gone, so it didn't matter if you said it or not. Now that you mention this matter, it makes me more sure of my guess."

Xi Yutong looked up at her: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty was in good health before we set off for Huafu, how could he become seriously ill in just a few months and be unable to manage political affairs?" Feng Yuyi asked back, "It is very likely that Feng Yuqi and others did it, The purpose is to seize power step by step, even that position."

"But isn't he already the crown prince? Why did he do this?" Xi Yutong was puzzled, "In his last life, he made a move because he was deposed as the crown prince. Now he is the crown prince for the first time. Doing these things will only make him lose the crown prince." place."

"You forgot one very important thing." Feng Yuyi smiled and patted the center of her eyebrows, "First, the prince was canonized suddenly, and then the emperor became seriously ill, and the prince supervised the country."

Xi Yutong thought about what she said, as if someone had opened up the second vein of Ren and Du, "You mean... the crown prince was made by the prince? Could it be that he threatened with poison?"

Feng Yuyi nodded, "It may be, it may be,"

Xi Yutong frowned: "Why is he in such a hurry to become the prince?"

"Who knows." Feng Yuyi took her hand and continued to walk towards the courtyard, "But he was already eyeing that position, and there was no reason to be anxious."

Xi Yutong looked up at her while walking: "What about you?"

Feng Yuyi just smiled at this temptation, "I really wanted that position very much before, it was because I wanted to prove myself to..., it would be meaningless to repeat it now."

After she said so, Xi Yutong could only swallow back the words that were about to blurt out, and said "um" softly, but his thoughts were a little distracted.

Feng Yuyi noticed her running away and didn't think much about it, he just pretended to be thinking about Feng Yuqi.

Since he was visiting as a court minister, Feng Yuyi naturally couldn't show his feet, so he found a more familiar minister, changed his attire, and entered the palace early.

It's just that it didn't go as smoothly as she thought, when she asked to see the emperor in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she was stopped, so she didn't even get to see the emperor.

In order not to show her feet, she could only leave first.Probably God still cared for her after all, so that when she came out, she saw Li De, the eunuch who was serving by the emperor.It's just that the other party's situation doesn't seem to be very good. He even took a broom to sweep, and there were several eunuchs watching, and occasionally he would whip a few times with a whip.Back and forth with force, the eunuch's uniform was scratched.

If you can't see the emperor, you can always meet the personal eunuch.

After taking a look, Feng Yuyi looked away, took out a money bag from his sleeve, smiled and walked towards the father-in-law who was whipping two whips.

To put it bluntly, this bag costs several hundred taels to exchange for a quarter of an hour of talking time.

Time was running short, Feng Yuyi didn't beat around the bush, and after revealing his identity, he asked the emperor about his illness.

Li De didn't expect King Yi to return to Beijing, he was surprised and delighted at the same time, he was reminded not to show any strangeness so he calmed down and answered Feng Yuyi's questions in a low voice.

In half a quarter of an hour, the two eunuchs came over to urge them.

Feng Yuyi had finished asking what he wanted to ask, so he immediately thanked him and left.

After leaving the palace gate, the cold wind blew, and her tense mood just relaxed.Looking back at the majestic palace gate, she sighed, turned around and boarded the carriage to return home.

Xi Yutong thought about when she should come back, so she took Xiaotao and waited at the door early.

Therefore, when Feng Yuyi came back, she knew immediately, and went forward holding the stove, "See you?"

"No." Feng Yuyi said, "But I met Li De."

Xi Yutong's eyes flickered slightly.Li De is not only the emperor's personal eunuch, but also someone arranged by Feng Yuyi.After meeting the other party, one can definitely understand the situation of the emperor.

It's just that the gate of the mansion is not a place to talk, she can only suppress her curiosity, and only dare to ask what happened after entering the palace and the gate is closed.

Feng Yuyi didn't hide anything, and explained everything he asked Li De clearly.

She asked about the emperor's condition at the beginning.Just as she thought, the emperor's serious illness was really related to Feng Yuqi, but this time it was not poison, but Gu, or mother-child Gu.

The so-called Mother-Child Gu is divided into Zi Gu and Mother Gu. People who take Zi Gu will obey the mother Gu.If not, the person who took the child Gu would bleed to death from seven orifices, but the person who took the mother Gu would not be affected in any way.

The emperor was inadvertently given the sub-gu, and the mother-gu was taken by Feng Yuqi, so he could only follow Feng Yuqi's wishes to canonize him as the prince, and was imprisoned in the palace. He had to declare to the outside world that he was "seriously ill", and the prince supervised the country.

And the source of stimulating Feng Yuqi to release the Alphabet Gu was the emperor's imperial decree to confer Feng Yuyi as the crown prince.

The imperial decree had already been written, but before it was announced to the world, Feng Yuqi led troops into the palace to intercept it, and then the emperor fell victim to a sub-gu, and had no choice but to change the imperial decree.

Xi Yutong was a little surprised: "Your Majesty canonized you as the crown prince?" She remembered that the emperor of the previous life had great expectations for Feng Yuqi, or after conferring the other party as the crown prince, he saw through the bad things the other party had done before giving the throne to Feng Yuyi with.

Feng Yuyi explained: "Li De said that the emperor investigated and found out what Feng Yuqi did secretly with Prime Minister Yao, and he was very disappointed."

Xi Yutong asked again: "Maybe His Majesty's mother-child Gu has been resolved? Or is the decree that made you the crown prince still there?"

If the emperor can be rescued, it would be best to dispel the Gu.But the palace is heavily guarded, it is not easy to take away the emperor, and it is even more difficult to unravel the Gu.

If the emperor can't be rescued from dispelling Gu, then the previous decree is very important.

Feng Yuyi shook his head, "You have to ask the teacher first to find out if the Gu can be solved. As for the imperial decree, Li De said that His Majesty hid it, and he didn't know where it was hidden. And now that the emperor is isolated, No one is allowed to have an audience, and there is no way to know where it is." As she spoke, she patted the center of Xi Yutong's eyebrows, "Why do you care about this imperial decree, anyway, now that the crown prince has been appointed, if I take it out, everyone will say it's fake .”

Xi Yutong really didn't want to spend time in that bustling palace before, and wanted Feng Yuyi to be as free as her.

But it is impossible for everything to go smoothly, especially the experience of this period of time has made her understand one thing - even if Feng Yuyi gives up that position, Feng Yuqi, who is narrow-minded, will not necessarily let Feng Yuyi go. You can get a glimpse of it when someone assassinates Feng Yuyi.

Thinking of Feng Yuqi's assassination during this period, Xi Yutong couldn't hold back.

After stepping into the courtyard, she stopped, raised her eyes to look at Feng Yuyi, and mustered up her courage: "An Ning, if I don't object anymore, would you like to take that seat again?"
