The three of them walked towards the Yuyi Palace, and Fang Yi asked with some concern: "Niangniang, the slave maid just met with Mama Cao, will the Queen Mother be embarrassed because of this?" ”

Fu Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "What are you afraid of, even if the Queen Mother suspects the palace, she can't do anything to the palace for the time being." Counting up, about the twentieth day of the first month, the palace is about to give birth. ”

"In that case, the mother should be more careful." Ji Xiang said: "Niangniang has recently ordered someone to inquire about the news of the Nine Princesses, and the slave maid feels that Niangniang cares more about the Nine Princesses than about herself. ”

"The ninth princess has a great kindness to the palace, and if the palace is in the palace, she will never let her have anything to do. Moreover, the palace has the support of the Fu family, and everyone does not dare to act rashly against the palace. But she was different. Fu Mingyue said, turned back to Jixiang and said: "Everything sent from the palace to the Nine Kings' Mansion must be carefully inspected, and nothing can go wrong." ”

"Yes," Ji Xiang responded, "the slave will definitely check the things for the Nine Princesses as they do with the Niangniang's food and clothing." ”

The three of them returned to the Yuyi Palace, and waited until three o'clock in the morning, when Fu Mingyue sent someone to the Four Princes' Mansion to pick up Zhu Yankang.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Zhu Yankang dressed in black, came in from behind the courtyard, and directly entered the side hall. Fang Yi said to Fu Mingyue through the veil: "Niangniang, the fourth princess has been brought." ”

Fu Mingyue leaned on her waist and got up to greet her, and Ji Xiang went over to lift the curtain and let the four princesses in.

The two sat down together, Fu Mingyue didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Let's continue the topic that we didn't talk about during the day, what did you do to the Nine Princes?" ”

Zhu Yankang took out a piece of paper and spread it out to Fu Mingyue, who looked down and didn't know the words on it at all.

"What is this?"

"This is the art of bewitchment given to me by the Queen Mother," Zhu Yankang explained: "According to legend, the Bai family has a complete set of scrolls that completely record the art of bewitchment, and for some reason it fell into the hands of the Queen Mother. Few people in the world can understand the words on it. ”

"Can you read it?" Fu Mingyue asked.

Zhu Yankang nodded.

Fu Mingyue thought for a moment, and then asked, "Does it really have the ability to deceive people's hearts?" ”

"I don't know," Zhu Yankang shook his head, "The Queen Mother won't fully believe me, this one given to me is only a part of the rubbing, I hinted at the Nine Princes according to the above method, and it is unknown how the Nine Princes will react." ”

Fu Mingyue's eyes seemed to be worried, and Zhu Yankang asked, "Are you worried about the safety of the Nine Princes?" Even if you worry, it won't help, because this part of the scroll I got can only hint at bewitching others, and the part that unlocks the hint is still in the hands of the Queen Mother. ”

Fu Mingyue shook her head lightly: "Whether the Nine Princes are dead or alive is not a matter of this palace. The palace is just worried about the Nine Princesses. ”

"Are you afraid that if the Ninth Prince dies like this, the Ninth Princess will be sad?" Zhu Yankang hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I don't think that a single hint will not let the Nine Princes die, and the Nine Princes hold the commerce of the entire Li Kingdom in their hands, if he dies, the Li Kingdom will definitely be chaotic." So I think that the Queen Mother should at least kill the Nine Princes after everything has been arranged. ”

"I'm not worried about the whole thing," Fu Mingyue looked up at her and said, "Since this scroll is the Bai family's thing, and the Bai family's current head family is the Nine Princesses, then this scroll should be in her hand." Why did it go to the Queen Mother? And who put it in the hands of the Queen Mother? ”

Zhu Yankang rolled his eyes and replied, "It's the person next to the Ninth Princess." ”

Fu Mingyue nodded: "The Ninth Princess values affection and righteousness, and what she is most afraid of is that the people close to her will betray her, and she has no power to resist." ”

Zhu Yankang saw that Fu Mingyue was worried, but he laughed and said, "Niangniang is really strange, she is in the tiger's den in Longlongtan, and she is worried about the life and death of others all day long. Also, Niangniang kept telling me in the afternoon that you were on the side of the Yin family, but I said that I had cast a bewitching method on the Nine Princes, and you didn't react at all, but when you mentioned the Nine Princesses, you were nervous like this. Is the Nine Princes the Yin family, or is the Nine Princesses the Yin family? ”

"What the Nine Princesses are to the palace is what your younger brother is to you." Fu Mingyue smiled coldly with a sharp look in her eyes: "Since the Queen Mother likes you, you are a smart person, don't say what you shouldn't say." ”

Zhu Yankang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, covering the edge in his eyes, but he did not hide the smile at the corner of his lips.

It seems that these nine princesses are her weakness.

The two were silent for a long time, and Zhu Yan recovered and asked again: "Then you want to remind the Nine Princes, has he fallen for the spell of bewitchment?" ”

Fu Mingyue thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Didn't you say that the method of solving Gu is still in the Queen Mother?" So even if he knew, he couldn't do anything to get rid of it. It's better to wait and see what becomes of him. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yankang nodded.

Fu Mingyue glanced at her quietly, this foreign woman was involved with Bai Junzhuo's brother, and she married the fourth prince, in addition to bewitching the ninth prince. The Queen Mother really found a powerful helper, which made this matter even more complicated.

Fortunately, this person and the Queen Mother are not of the same mind.

Fu Mingyue was thinking about it, and Zhu Yankang asked again: "You said that you and I have the same purpose, you can tell me, do you have any good way to deal with the Queen Mother?" ”

"We have to deal with far more than the Queen Mother, as well as the Fu family who relies on each other with the Queen Mother." Fu Mingyue smiled, "Take your time, the play has reached the most exciting part." ”

Zhu Yankang didn't say a word, for a long time, and said: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to stay in your palace for a long time, so I should go back first." ”

Fu Mingyue nodded, and immediately ordered Jixiang to send her back.

After Zhu Yankang went out, Fang Yi came over and said, "Niangniang, it's not too early, let's rest early." ”

"Wait." Fu Mingyue waved her hand casually, as if she was thinking about something, and didn't want Fang Yi to disturb her. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a clue, so he asked Fang Yi: "There is a close person around the Ninth Princess who betrayed her and took her family heirloom scroll to the Queen Mother, who do you think it will be?" ”

"There is still a queen mother by the side of the ninth princess?" Fang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it calmly, and replied: "The slave maid feels that if Princess Fu was still in the Nine Princes' Mansion before, it is likely that Princess Fu did it. Now that Princess Fu is not here, the slaves and maids don't know who did it. ”

Fu Mingyue sighed lowly, and Fang Yi hurriedly said: "Niangniang, don't worry about the Nine Princesses, the Nine Princesses are so smart, they will definitely be able to deal with it." ”

"Her cleverness is limited to those who are not close to her." Fu Mingyue's face was full of worry: "If it was the people close to her, she would definitely not be willing to deal with them, and she wouldn't even suspect them." ”

"Even so, the Nine Princes will protect the Nine Princesses."

"He's not going to be able to protect himself now."

"No matter how bad it is, there is still Your Majesty here." Fang Yi continued to comfort: "Niangniang, you always say that Your Majesty is the smartest person in the world, with Your Majesty here, Niangniang will be fine, Niangniang will be fine, and the Nine Princesses will be fine." ”

When Fu Mingyue heard this, the worry on her face eased a little, and she said softly, "I hope." ”

Fang Yi nodded slightly, and suddenly thought of something, so he spoke: "It's really strange to say, the slave maid thought that after Princess Fu died, Marquis Fu and the Queen Mother would blame the Nine Princesses for this matter, and they would deal with the Nine Princesses." However, the people sent by Niangniang to protect the Nine Princesses did not find any action by Fu Houye. Do they think that with Niangniang, Princess Fu is dispensable? ”

"How come," Fu Mingyue sneered: "For them, Fu Yunyue is the concubine raised by the Fu family from childhood to adulthood, if this palace is not married to Your Majesty, even if she returns to the Fu family, she is just a concubine." ”

Saying that, Fu Mingyue also frowned slightly, and muttered: "But what you said also makes sense, Fu Yunyue is dead, and the reactions of Fu Hou Ye and the Queen Mother are too indifferent......"

Fang Yi blinked, and blurted out without going through his brain, "Could it be that Princess Fu is not dead?" ”

When Fu Mingyue heard this, her heart trembled.

The fire on the second day after Fu Yunyue's death was too sudden and suspicious, it is likely that the person who was burned into charcoal in the fire was not Fu Yunyue at all, and the real Fu Yunyue had already been rescued by the Queen Mother!

If Fu Yunyue really didn't die, wouldn't what she said to Fu Yunyue before be known by the Queen Mother? And if she's really not dead, where is she now?

The more Fu Mingyue thought about it, the more she felt that the situation was not good, and turned her head to Fang Yi and said, "Take a pen and paper, repair a book from this palace, and you will immediately hand it over to the ninth princess." ”

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned around to get a pen and paper.

Fu Mingyue finished writing quickly, and then handed it to Fang Yi, instructing, "Be sure to call the hands of the Ninth Princess as soon as possible." ”

Fang Yi nodded, and was a little embarrassed: "But it's almost midnight, and the Ninth Princess is likely to have slept." ”

"Then you go to her house and wait, and give this to her as soon as she wakes up."

Fang Yi saw Fu Mingyue's appearance, and guessed that the situation must be extremely urgent, nodded, and hurriedly left the palace.

When he arrived at the Nine Kings' Mansion, Bai Junzhuo had indeed fallen asleep. Fang Yi said a word to the housekeeper of the Nine Kings Mansion, and stood at the door waiting for her.

In the winter, Fang Yi froze outside all night. Early the next morning, Bai Junzhuo got up and opened the door, and saw a little girl standing at the door with a blue face from the cold, which startled her.

Then he recognized that this was the personal maid beside Fu Mingyue, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?" Look at you, you've been waiting all night, haven't you? ”

Fang Yi took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Bai Junzhuo, and said, "Nine princesses, one hundred thousand is urgent!" ”

Bai Junzhuo took the letter curiously, and as soon as he took it, Fang Yi fainted to the ground.

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly called Ju'an and Apricot to take her down to warm up, and a sense of foreboding faintly rose in his heart.

She looked at the letter in her hand, what was it that was so urgent, and she sent someone over in the middle of the night?

She hesitated for a moment, then opened the letter and read it.
