When the time is near.

In the cold and distant night, the front hall of the palace is still brilliantly lit, ninety-nine ever-bright lamps are burning endlessly, and the palace people in the palace are praying all night for their emperor, praying that this seventeen-year-old emperor can be like the founding emperor of Dajing, Ye Yunhan, and like the Emperor Lund, he will live a long life.

And the Yichun Palace, which was once pampered, is like a past forgotten in the corner, and in this feast, it is quiet and lonely out of place.

No one would have imagined that tonight's protagonist, the emperor of Dajing, Ye Qianhuai, was huddled in a corner of this unattended palace at this moment.

Yichun Palace has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is not as warm as Kunning Palace, which is full of charcoal, and the palace exudes a cold and damp smell.

Ye Tianhuai held his arms in one hand, his eyes were closed, his brows were frowned, and his whole body was tense, as if he was fighting against something.

The chill invaded her body and made her feel sober.

She thought about it quickly as she remembered what had happened tonight.

Was the queen's behavior tonight from her original intention or Gu Shihai's instructions? Who was the guard who was stabbed by her, and what orders did he have to appear in Kunning Palace? If Gu Shihai was behind all this, then something must have happened recently that prompted him to make a sudden move.

Ye Qianhuai suddenly remembered that Gu Shihai's wife Liang Yuying had only entered the palace yesterday to catch up with the queen, and Li Baoquan had reported the matter to her, she felt that it was because she rewarded Chen Julian to go out of the palace to save her relatives, and the queen was unhappy and wanted to save face, so she didn't care, but just instructed the forbidden army and Shen Guiyi not to let Liang Yuying and the attendants she brought into the palace close to the Wanxue Palace where Gu Haiwang was guarded.

Now that she thinks about it, Liang Yuying's entry into the palace this time is not as simple as she thought.

Ye Tianhuai even felt that the cup of aphrodisiac wine that made her worse than death at the moment was probably brought to Gu Feiyan by Liang Yuying when she entered the palace this time.

After all, with Gu Feiyan's unconcealable temperament, if she really brought it in when she entered the palace, I am afraid that she would have found a way to feed Ye Tianhuai and drink it on the night of the wedding.

In any case, the most important thing right now is to find out the identity of the guard. Just find out who he is, and everything will be solved.

Thinking of this, Ye Tianhuai became worried again.

Since Zhao Yinshi took over as the commander of the forbidden army, after several blood changes in the forbidden army, Ye Tianhuai thought that the forbidden army was already a credible person. But at the moment, the forbidden army is not monolithic.

Will this matter be related to Zhao Yinshi? After all, he was transferred from Gu Haiwang's Gyeonggi Guard, although He Qingchang was the guarantor, He Qingchang was not a person who could be trusted.

All kinds of thoughts crowded Ye Tianhuai's mind. She felt her body hot, but her heart was getting colder and colder.

It is said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, but there are millions of civil and military officers in the court and tens of thousands of servants in the harem, but no one in her can believe it. She couldn't even relax for a moment, showing the slightest warmth to anyone. If she hadn't felt pity and guilt for the queen today, she wouldn't have come to this point.

She suddenly remembered Qin Baozhu.

That might be the only person in this palace who could make her take off her mask and be honest with her.

It's a pity that there is only one Qin Baozhu in this world.

And she didn't protect her.

"Knock knock—" There was a knock on the temple door.

Immediately, a familiar voice sounded softly outside the door: "Your Majesty, can the old minister come in?" ”

It's Zhou Shouyi.

Ye Tianhuai raised his head, and a hand holding his left arm finally let go, and said, "Come in." ”

Zhou Shouyi pushed open the door, and in the hazy moonlight, he couldn't help but get nervous when he saw Ye Tianhuai's figure leaning on the side of the bed, and almost trotted to Ye Tianhuai's side, and reached out to catch her pulse.

Behind him, Shen Guiyi, who was following, also looked nervous.

Zhou Shouyi is worthy of being an old doctor who has worked in the palace all his life, and almost in a breath, he can see a rough idea from Ye Qianhuai's appearance and pulse.

He immediately withdrew his hand and looked at Ye Qianhuai with an inquiring gaze with a bit of shock.

Ye Qianhuai glanced at him, knowing what he was asking in his gaze, nodded, and said to him in a low voice: "I came out of Kunning Palace and drank a glass of wine from the queen there. ”

Zhou Shouyi heard the strangeness of her voice, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk yet." ”

He rummaged in the medicine box behind him for a while, took out a small bottle, poured out two pills from it, put them in Ye Qianhuai's hand, and said, "Your Majesty will eat this first, you can feel better." ”

Ye poured the pill into his arms, and he didn't doubt him, so he raised his head and swallowed his lower abdomen.

"This ...... There is no ready-made antidote to this poison, and Lao Chen wants to go back to the Tai Hospital to dispense the decoction, which is estimated to take an hour. As soon as Zhou Shou said, he was about to get up and leave.

"Grandpa Zhou, wait a minute." Ye Qianhuai shouted to him, and was about to say something, when he saw Shen Guiyi behind him again, and the words stopped at his lips.

After all, Shen Guiyi is still half an outsider.

So she turned her conversation to Shen Guiyi and asked, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid is in the Kunning Palace, and the body that Your Majesty said has not been found." Shen Guiyi replied.

"What did you say?" Ye Tianhuai was so surprised that he even forgot to speak in his voice.

Shen Guiyi paused for a moment and replied: "The slave maid checked all the main halls of Kunning Palace, only the queen slept peacefully in the palace, and did not see anyone else...... Corpse. ”

Ye Qian frowned puzzledly: "Are there any traces of blood or any dragging in the courtyard?" ”

Shen Guiyi shook his head and said, "No, there is no blood in the yard, and there is no trace of a fight." ”

Ye Tianhuai looked at Shen Guiyi, the little girl looked directly into her eyes, there was a little puzzlement in her clear eyes, but there was no dodge.

It's not like lying.

Ye Qianhuai fell silent.

Could it be that someone dealt with the scene after she left?

But at the moment, she can't protect herself, let alone investigate and deal with this matter. What's more, she didn't want to make a big deal about it.

She pondered for a long time, and said to Shen Guiyi: "It's hard work today, go and rest." Don't tell anyone about today. Tomorrow afternoon, Jingshou Palace will look for me. ”

Shen Guiyi answered, retreated, and closed the door of the palace.

When she walked away, Zhou Shouyi looked at Ye Tianhuai and said uneasily: "Your Majesty is not safe here alone, the old minister went to call Aunt Fanghua over." ”

Ye Qianhuai immediately vetoed him and said, "No." I can't let anyone know about this matter today, and I have to go out from Kunning Palace tomorrow to go to the morning court. ”

Hearing her say this, Zhou Shouyi immediately became angry, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and said, "Are you crazy? Do you use the voice you have now to go to court? ”
