At noon the next day, Lu Zuo, who had been in a coma all night, woke up, and when he opened his eyes, Jingruo and Lu Renxiang were all by the bedside. Lu Zuo slept at this time, obviously looking much better.

Quiet Ruo saw Xianggong wake up but didn't speak for a long time, just stared at the roof in a daze, and hurriedly asked what happened! But Lu Zuo was still silent for a long time, quiet as an ant in a hot pot.

Lu Renxiang seemed to notice that something was wrong, and looked around but didn't see Yin Ji, who usually followed his brother, so he asked his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, where did little Yin Ji go?" ”

"Him?" Jing Jingruo had been worrying about Xianggong all night, but he forgot about Yin Ji, looked around, and saw no other figures, and he was also confused in his heart, "I saw him once last night, and I haven't seen him yet!" Your brother fell ill last night, and everyone in the house knew about it, and Xiao Yinji should also know about it, so he should have come to serve his master a long time ago, right? Even if he doesn't know, he usually comes to his master at this time, but I don't know where to run today? ”

He Shi also asked on the side: "Will you play with your heart and sneak out to play?" ”

Jingruo shook her head, "No! Xiao Yinji would ask his master for instructions in advance every time he went out, otherwise he wouldn't go out without permission. Jing Ruo also felt that something must have happened to Xiao Yinji at this time, so he panicked a little, "Then I'll let Lao Pan take someone to find out." ”

Just when Jing Jingruo was about to leave the room, Lu Zuo said in a hoarse voice: "You don't have to go!" ”

When the three people in the room heard this, they all looked at Lu Zuo, and Jingruo hurriedly walked to the edge of the bed and asked Lu Zuo, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Zuo then told the cause and effect of the incident truthfully, if he was stunned when he heard it, how could Yin Ji be Zhou Zhongwang's eyeliner? Lu Renxiang also sighed for a while, and then said something to comfort his brother.

Seeing that the time for the ninth meeting of the first lunar month is approaching, many officials, big and small, are also ready to report on their work. The prince's mansion has also begun to gradually become lively recently, after dealing with the day's ushering and sending, it is already evening, Liu Yan finally has his own leisure time, today's weather is not bad, so he walked out of the study and came to the courtyard for a walk.

Liu Yan whistled, pinned his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth in the garden alone, unable to hide his joy. Liu Yanzheng was proud, and saw Xun Mou coming in a hurry from a distance, so he also quickened his pace and walked forward, and the two came to the flower stand in the garden, Xun Mou opened his mouth and whispered: "It's not good!" ”

Liu Yan asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

Xun Mou looked a little nervous, and replied in a low voice: "According to the palace attendants, the emperor is sick!" ”

"What?" Liu Yan was surprised, "Is this news reliable?" ”

"It's true!" Xun Mou said categorically, "The news was revealed to my father by the emperor's personal eunuch Zhang Cen, it can't be wrong!" ”

Liu Yan fell into deep thought, the emperor's grandfather suddenly fell ill? Is there a deeper meaning to this? Will there be fraud? So he asked, "Is this credible?" ”

Xun Mou also had some concerns, and was noncommittal about this news, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Zhang Cen has known my father for many years, and his words should be credible, as for whether the emperor is really sick or fraudulent, it is difficult to conclude." But ......"

"But what?"

"However, Zhang Cen has served the emperor for more than ten years, and he should see all kinds of situations very clearly, whether the emperor is pretending to be sick or not, he should be able to see at a glance, since he has spread the news that the emperor is sick......" Xun Mou said and frowned, and also had some hesitation, "It shouldn't be wrong!" ”

Liu Yan's face sank like water, looking at the dried vines on the flower stand and pondering, the sun reflected in the corner of his eyes through the flower stand, those pupils looked particularly cold and sharp, suddenly his eyes were slightly focused, and then looked at Xun Mou fiercely, and sneered: "It seems that it is time to show the majesty of the identity of the prince of this palace." ”

"Your Highness......"

A familiar voice came, and when Liu Yan and Xun Mou looked back in unison, it turned out to be Deng Zhuo, the general of Jin Wuwei, who came.

Deng Zhuo, dressed in silver armor and with a lofty spirit, came to the prince and saluted with his fists. Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh and teased when he saw it: "General Deng is now promoted to General Jin Wuwei, it's just different from what it used to be!" Then he pointed at Deng Zhuo at Xun Mou and smiled, "Hehe...... Look at this outfit, it is full of majesty! ”

Deng Zhuocheng said in fear: "Your Highness is serious, your subordinates were cultivated by Your Highness, without Your Highness, how could your subordinates be where they are today!" ”

Liu Yan angrily turned his hand back behind him, and said with a smile: "Tell me something, right?" ”

Deng Zhuo said: "The people sent by his subordinates to spy on Lu Zuo have new news!" ”

"What?" Liu Yan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking.

"Someone said that I saw a strange thing, and Yin Ji, who was usually inseparable from Lu Zuo, didn't know where to go."

Liu Yan's face was full of suspicion, Yin Ji was Lu Zuo's right-hand man, and he usually took everything with him, how could he leave suddenly? Then he asked, "Have you found out what the reason is?" ”

"From the mouth of Lu Zuo's mansion, I found out that Yin Ji was driven out by him. It is not known exactly why they were driven away. ”

Liu Yan looked at Xun Mou and said with a cruel smile: "Today seems to be an auspicious day for this palace!" Lu Zuo is without Yin Ji, it is like a broken right arm. He has always wanted to send someone to assassinate Lu Zuo but couldn't get it, but now he doesn't have Yin Ji's protection, and he is already weak, so with those minions under him, what is there to fear! This time he will be shattered into thousands of pieces and turned into powder. ”

Xun Mou also smiled coldly, it seems that Lu Zuo will inevitably die this time, just in the middle of the patrol, Xun Mou remembered what the master said, the master and his old man installed an inside line by Lu Zuo's side, could it be ...... Thinking of this, he said to Liu Yan excitedly: "Your Highness, Weichen seems to understand why Yin Ji was driven out of the Lu Mansion!" ”

"Why?"

"Do you remember what my master told me about the mole before he died?"

Liu Yan frowned and exclaimed, "You mean ......"

"That's right! This traitor must be Yin Ji. Xun Mou said, "My master confirmed to me that the book "Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal Theory" does have this book, and this news is what the master told him about the old man. Think about it, "The Theory of Ghost Valley" is such a secret that only the closest people around him can determine whether this book really exists, and this closest person now seems to have no one else except Yin Ji! ”

At this moment, the old butler also hurried over, still holding a sealed letter in his hand, respectfully presenting it to the prince, and then withdrew. Liu Yan opened the letter and read it, overjoyed, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Today is really a happy event!" General Xun, let's show our skills next! ”
