After Shen Yunyou saw Yin Shangyu nodding and agreeing to her request, she hurriedly seized the opportunity and asked softly, "Actually, what I don't understand is why the emperor wants to lock up Prince Qi?" And when are you going to release him? If the emperor really wanted to send troops to attack the Western Kingdom, why didn't he choose the time when the Western Kingdom was not so strong a few years ago, and wait until now? ”

Shen Yunyou asked a few questions in a row, and Yin Shangyu, who asked, was speechless. After Shen Yunyou saw that Yin Shangyu didn't answer what he meant, he didn't say anything more and looked at Yin Shangyu quietly.

"Who told you to ask me these words?" Yin Shangyu spoke in a low tone, and his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a little cold light.

"No one asked me to ask, I was curious, so I asked. Didn't the emperor also say that he wouldn't blame me? In my opinion, the emperor doesn't want to deal with that Qi prince, maybe it's just because he is too arrogant, the emperor just wants to reduce his arrogance, otherwise the envoy of the Long Ming Kingdom will not live in the palace properly. ”

Long Mingguo of the Western Kingdom has one heart, this Yin Shangyu really wants to do what Yezixuan does, then Pan Wenyu will naturally not have a good life.

Yin Shangyu smiled slightly after listening to Shen Yunyou's words, but he was not angry. stared at Shen Yunyou with interest for a while, and it wasn't until Yin Limo came back from outside that Yin Shangyu slowly withdrew his gaze.

"Father, why are you here?" Yin Limo saw Yin Shangyu and Shen Yunyou sitting there, and hurriedly walked over and explained, "I brought her back." ”

"Hmm." Yin Shangyu stood up, and when he saw that Shen Yunyou was about to stand up, he pressed a hand on her shoulder and motioned for her to sit. Then he looked at Yin Limo and said, "Let's learn from Miss Shen." ”

After Yin Shangyu finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard. Shen Yunyou tilted his head to see him off, looked at Yin Limo's puzzled gaze, got up and explained: "The emperor is here to find the princess, and he happened to say a few words when he saw me in the courtyard. ”

"Oh." Yin Limo seemed to have something, so she didn't ask Shen Yunyou anything. After going back to the house to get her things, she hurried away again. Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan had nothing to do, and they had a leisurely day.

Late at night, Shen Yunyou saw Pan Wenyu again. Hearing that he already knew where Ye Zixuan was being held, Shen Yunyou asked Bai Moyan to stay, and if anyone was looking for her, she would say that she would go back to the General's Mansion to find Qiu Shenghan to discuss the song to be played on the emperor's birthday.

Shen Yunyou followed Pan Wenyu to the vicinity of the prison and let him go first. Secretly observing the nearby environment and the number of officers and soldiers guarding it, Shen Yunyou stood in the dark for half an hour before turning around and leaving.

did not go back to the palace, but came to the general's mansion. Silently sneaking into Qiu Shenghan's room, Shen Yunyou looked at Qiu Shenghan's unfazed and lazy appearance, and said in a low voice: "Take me to see them." ”

"I knew it wouldn't be good for you to come back so late." Qiu Shenghan sighed lightly, got out of bed, put on his outer robe, and took Shen Yunyou out of the General's Mansion. The two of them were silent all the way, and they didn't say anything, and after seeing Xuan Mo, Shen Yunyou couldn't wait to ask them if they had any useful news.

Xuan Mo thought for a moment and replied, "There will be a martial arts tournament tomorrow. ”

"Tournaments? What do you mean? Shen Yunyou asked curiously, "Who got it?" ”

"Yunchuan Country's annual martial arts competition and hunting conference will also determine the champion of martial arts on this day. As far as I know, the emperor and all the ministers will attend. ”

"I've heard of that, too." Qiu Shenghan on the side nodded, verifying Xuan Mo's words. "Wen Zimo seems to have been busy with this matter in the past two days, and he is basically not in the General's Mansion."

Shen Yunyou listened to the words of the two, pondered for a while, and had a plan. Looking at Xuan Mo with twinkling eyes, Shen Yunyou asked, "Have you figured out the location?" ”

"I'll do it, don't worry." Xuan Mo said confidently: "What do you want to do, just tell me." ”

"Find a way to sneak into the barracks, the emperor will travel, there will be a large number of guards to follow the escort, otherwise Wen Zimo will not be so busy. I don't care what you do, but you're going to create chaos for me before the hunt, and you don't have a trace to keep you noticed. ”

"Chaos?" Xuan Mo was a little embarrassed and forbade his nose and began to think of a way.

"If so many princes and ministers participated, the itinerary would not be too tight. If it's a morning joust and an afternoon hunt, you'll have plenty of time to prepare. Shen Yunyou helped Xuan Mo come up with an idea, "Let Yu Ling help you get some croton or other medicines, and you will eat at noon, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Xuan Mo smiled knowingly, "Even if I don't have that time, I have another way." ”

"That's good, I'll go back to the palace first, and I'll contact you if I have something. If you want to find me, go to the General's Mansion and find him. ”

Shen Yunyou pointed at Qiu Shenghan, explained some things about Xuan Mo, and returned to the palace. Got up early the next day, Shen Yunyou stood in the courtyard after washing, and after the ready-to-go Yin Limo appeared, Shen Yunyou asked knowingly: "The princess is so early, where are you going?" ”

"Go see the jousting and come back in the evening."

After Yin Limo simply replied to Shen Yunyou, she was about to go out. Shen Yunyou saw that she had no intention of saying anything more to herself, so she hurriedly spoke up again and said, "Competition? Does it have anything to do with General Wen? ”

"Why do you ask?" Yin Limo heard Shen Yunyou mention Wen Zimo, and immediately stopped and looked back at her.

"The princess has not been in the palace all day, if the general finds time to come to my maid, then ...... What can I do? ”

Shen Yunyou's words made Yin Limo's head hot, although Wen Zimo wanted to protect his father's safety today, he was not sure that he would find free time to find that little slut. "Hurry up and clean up, take that maid of yours, and come with me!"

Yin Limo made a decision immediately and decided to take both of them with her. Shen Yunyou was naturally happy to follow her, because this was originally the result that Shen Yunyou wanted.

Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan followed Yin Limo to the place, and the surroundings were already full of people. Looking around, almost all of them were the people at the banquet held for Ye Zixuan that day, and there were a few women dressed as harem concubines.

Yin Limo is the daughter of the queen and the princess favored by the emperor, so the position is naturally leaning in the middle, and there are some people around her. Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan were silent, just thinking that they were Yin Limo's maids, and stood quietly behind her. When it was almost time, when the sun was shining, Yin Shangyu finally appeared. And walking beside Yin Shangyu was something that Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan didn't expect, Ye Zixuan.

Shen Yunyou knew that Yin Shangyu would not lock up Yezixuan for too long, but he didn't expect to release him so soon. But after thinking about it, on this kind of occasion, if Ye Zixuan didn't appear, the ministers would inevitably have to discuss it in private. Yin Shangyu's matter of locking up Ye Zixuan will not be so airtight. Those old ministers who do not advocate friction between the Yunchuan Kingdom and the Western Kingdom are also likely to find Yin Shangyu together.

Ye Zixuan and Yin Shangyu appeared together, and naturally they were inevitably watched by onlookers. Different from the plain and elegant expression in the past, Ye Zixuan's face at this time seemed to be condensed with gloomy stratus clouds, and the bottom of his eyes was also rolling wildly. walked as if no one was around, and it wasn't until he sat down in his position that the haze in Ye Zixuan's eyes decreased slightly.

Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan both saw his expressions from a distance, and glanced at each other, Shen Yunyou shook his head lightly, and silently told Bai Moyan to wait and see.

When the emperor appeared, the martial arts tournament was held. One by one, they walked to the sidelines, and these men who were ready to compete looked a little childish at first glance, but when they arrived on the field, one by one, their movements and moves were as if they wanted each other's lives.

Shen Yunyou looked at the two people who were hitting each other on the field, feeling the gradually heating field, listening to the laughter and cheers of those high-ranking officials and nobles from time to time, she suddenly felt that it seemed that no matter who became this martial champion, it didn't matter anymore. They are here today just for the amusement of these people.

"What does Prince Qi think?" Yin Shangyu, who was looking at it, suddenly looked at Ye Zixuan on the side and asked.

"What does the emperor mean? If I ask them about their kung fu, I don't think it's very good. Ye Zixuan ignored Yin Shangyu's darkened face, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, there are even many women in the Western Kingdom who are better than them. ”

"Women?" Yin Shangyu sneered and said, "Lord Qi is not joking with me, right? ”

"The emperor will know when he has the opportunity to meet." Ye Zixuan replied to Yin Shangyu with a serious expression, "But then again, is this year's Wu Zhuangyuan really going to be selected among these people?" Then the emperor might as well leave my guards behind, and promise to be more than these people as the emperor wants. ”

"Him?" Yin Shangyu glanced at Yang Boxiang behind Ye Zixuan and smiled slightly. He smiled sarcastically and said, "It seems that the prince is really confident in his own people, so it's better to let me see it later, and see how powerful your guard is, how about it?" ”
