"Yan Gui, I will take people out, even if you encounter the crisis of nine deaths and one life, at least there is still hope for you."

In the end, Shen Huaiyi still persuaded Xie Yangui.

The two of them walked together under the city wall, and even if the matter was decided, it would not be easy to select those who were willing to go with them from among the soldiers.

Coming to the city wall, Xie Yangui and Shen Huai also went to the barracks and discussed carefully.

——

In the Qifeng Palace, Yu Qi came in from outside the hall and saluted Xie Xi, "Niangniang."

"How's it going?" Since Concubine Shu had an accident with the Li family, Zhou Yu made a lot of noise, and Emperor Mingde ordered him to enter the palace for a period of time.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, such a will was to put him under house arrest until death, and he simply fled the mansion before anyone came to the palace.

Now, in addition to the patrol battalion in the city, the internal guards are also searching for Zhou Yu's whereabouts.

"The whereabouts of the Third Highness have not yet been found." Shaking his head, Yu Qi frowned slightly, "Niangniang, do you think he will be ......?"

"It should be alive." According to Xie Yu's guess, Zhou Yu must have a place where he can hide with peace of mind, otherwise he wouldn't do that.

After all, if he does what he does now, it means that he will be in danger.

The patrol battalion and the internal guards were ordered to look for him and would try their best to ensure his survival, but at the same time, Zhou Yan's people were also secretly looking for him.

If he was found by Zhou Yan's people, he would definitely not survive, so he would definitely be very cautious.

"Don't keep an eye on him for now, if he lives, he will appear sooner or later."

For example, the day of the post-closure ceremony.

"Yes." Yu Qi agreed, and was about to say something else, when he heard a voice coming from outside the hall.

"See Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

Yu Qi hurriedly closed his mouth and stood aside, Xie Ji raised his eyebrows, quickly touched the quilt and pillow, and then leaned on the bed and looked at the door of the inner hall.

Emperor Mingde came in from the outer hall and saw Xie Ji with a slight smile on his face.

It was only at this time that Xie Cheng made a look like she was going to get up and salute, and Emperor Mingde took a few quick steps and stretched out his hand to support her.

"Auntie, your body still needs to recuperate, how can you be so polite?" As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes sweeping over Yu Qi.

"This girl looks at her eyes, why don't you see Yuqin?" Retracting his gaze, Emperor Mingde asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, Yu Qin went to the Tai Hospital, and Yu Qi's days by the concubine's side are not short, but the concubine is more accustomed to having Yu Qin by her side, so Your Majesty is rare."

"Speaking of which, when we go to the paddock, isn't she the one who accompanies the concubine?"

Xie Cheng responded with a smile, but he was secretly alert in his heart, Emperor Mingde suddenly asked Yu Qi and Yu Qin, which was not a good thing.

"Oh, it's her!" Emperor Mingde looked abrupt, "What is Yuqin doing in Tai Hospital?"

"Your Majesty just said that the concubines need to recuperate, and in order to recuperate for the concubines, Yuqin specially found some nourishing medicinal diet recipes and took them to the imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital to check."

The string in Xie Xie's heart was tightened, and there was something wrong with Emperor Mingde today.

Her mind raced as she pondered possible causes.

"Your Majesty has been very busy lately, and the concubine hasn't seen you for a few days." She spoke softly, with a look of concern.

"Even if the court is busy, please take care of your health." As she spoke, she quietly watched Emperor Mingde's reaction.

"Don't worry, A'em, now that there is a new head of the Tai Hospital in charge of my pulse, you must already know about it, right?" The smile on Emperor Mingde's face remained unchanged.

"Yes, the concubine already knows." Xie Ji responded truthfully.

"How did Your Majesty know?" She asked with a smile.

"What do you say?" Emperor Mingde did not answer the rhetorical question.

From beginning to end, he had his usual gentle smile on his face, but it was creepy to watch.

Yu Qi stood aside, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, how can the concubines guess?" Xie Xi's face showed disgust, as if he was just chatting with Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde sat beside her and looked at her fixedly.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was depressing.

When Emperor Mingde entered the palace, Peng Hai came in with him, and he was standing at the door of the hall at the moment, and he didn't dare to come out.

"Ahma," Finally, Emperor Mingde spoke again, and he reached out and stroked Xie Xie's cheek, "I really like you."

"The concubine knows." Xie Cheng smiled and looked at him.

"I still have court affairs to do, I'll see you another day." Suddenly withdrawing his hand, Emperor Mingde stood up, and his gaze fell on Yu Qi again.

Yu Qi hung his head, and the hand hidden under his sleeve trembled slightly, forcing him to calm down.

"Take good care of your master." After leaving a sentence, Emperor Mingde stepped away.

Watching his back disappear, listening to the sound of the palace people sending him from outside the hall, Xie Ji frowned tightly.

Immediately, her eyebrows stretched and she looked at Yu Qi, her voice gentle, "Yu Qi, are you okay?"

"Mother." Yu Qi sat down on the ground, and there was a little crying in his voice unconsciously.

"It's okay, I'm here." Xie Cheng guessed, maybe Emperor Mingde knew about some of Yu Qi's actions, so he stared at her?

But she has been very careful lately, and she has not asked Yu Qi to do anything that might touch him.

"Yuqi, what are you hiding from this palace?" Xie Ji looked at Yu Qi's face and asked softly.

"I...... I didn't." Yu Qi shook his head.

"You tell you what Yuqin has told you to do in the near future, one by one." Remembering that Emperor Mingde also mentioned Yuqin, Xie Cheng commanded.

Yu Qi agreed, and after exhaling deeply, he told all the things that Yu Qin had told her.

Sure enough, there were things that Xie Cheng had never ordered.

"Whatever Yuqin tells you in the future, you tell this palace in private, don't let her know." After a moment of silence, Xie Ji commanded again.

"Mother, yes...... Is it Aunt Yuqin......" Yu Qi was suddenly startled and hurriedly asked.

"No, she didn't betray Hongu, you just have to listen to Hongu." Xie Ji smiled and shook his head.

Knowing that it was not Yuqin's betrayal, Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded.

When Yu Qin came back from the Tai Hospital, Yu Qi had already left, and she was specially instructed by Xie Cheng to rest in the palace tonight.

"Niangniang, I heard that Your Majesty came just now, are you okay?" Yu Qin came to the bedside and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, he just came to see me." Looking at Yu Qin, Xie Ji's voice was gentle.

However, Yu Qin has followed her since she was a child, and she still heard a trace of something wrong from it, "Niangniang......

She spoke again, and after a call, she suddenly knelt beside the bed, "Please punish the mother."

The master and servant have been for many years, and there is some tacit understanding that there is no need to speak.

Yu Qin guessed that it must have been her secret instructions to Yu Qi that was known to the master.

She didn't do anything unfavorable to Xie Ji, but what she did would put her into a dead end......
