"The emperor has an order, Xuan Yi surnamed Hou enters the palace to meet --" Qin Xi's voice sounded at the gate of Longchen Palace, echoing in the air.

"Wechen obeys." Hou with a different surname bowed and saluted, said "obey the order", and followed Qin Xi towards the inside of Longchen Palace.

Luo Jin followed behind, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Qin Xi, and then spoke: "The emperor only summoned the Hou Ye alone, and asked the little Hou Ye to stay."

"That being the case, then I'll walk around the palace here, I've lived in Nanjun for more than twenty years, and I haven't seen what the Ningyue court looks like." When Luo Jin heard this, he didn't insist anymore, he just said this, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Xi hurriedly called Xiao Yuzi, the little eunuch guarding the gate of Longchen Palace, to follow Luo Jin, saying that he was afraid that the little marquis was not familiar with the palace and got lost.

"Little Hou Ye, please come here." Xiao Yuzi made a "please" gesture and bowed and said.

Luo Jin nodded clearly, laughing inexplicably, but he didn't say anything more, and followed Xiao Yuzi directly towards a place a little farther away from Longchen Palace.

Although he has a hereditary marquis with a different surname, he has no official title at present, and he is not an official of the court, and the emperor does not summon him.

Luo Jin was thinking in his heart, while being led by Xiao Yuzi, wandering around the palace, from Longchen Palace to the Imperial Garden, asking Xiao Yuzi some things as he walked, and seemed to be really interested in the scenery in the palace.

"By the way, father-in-law, when I was in Nanjun, I heard that the six palaces of the Ningyue Imperial Court were magnificent, gorgeous and exquisite, could you please take me to see it?" After walking for a long time, Luo Jin suddenly spoke.

"The little marquis is polite, just call the slave Xiao Yuzi." Xiao Yuzi said respectfully. The six palaces of the imperial court are now unoccupied, the Fengzao Palace of the First Empress, the Ci'an Palace of the Empress Dowager, and the Yijing Palace of Concubine An, all of which are already empty palaces."

"Then there are the other three houses." Luo Jin asked casually.

"The other three palaces, one is the Emperor's Longchen Palace, the little marquis has already seen it, and then there is the Imperial Concubine Niangniang's Bizhi Palace, and the Purple Smoke Palace of the Lady Concubine." Xiao Yuzi said. Bizhi Palace and Ziyan Palace are not far apart.

Xiao Yuzi said as he led Luo Jin in the direction of Ziyan Palace and Bizhi Palace, and introduced Luo Jin to the surrounding palaces along the way, and who owned them.

But at this time, two palace maids walked over from another road, who seemed to have medicine in their hands, and walked together with Luo Jin and Xiao Yuzi.

"Miss Wenqin, Miss Ye Xi, this is the different surname Hou Shizi, the little Hou Ye." Xiao Yuzi saw the two palace maids and hurriedly introduced.

Wen Qin and Ye Xi heard that they were Hou Shizi with different surnames, and they were busy saluting, and then lowered their heads and waited for Luo Jin to speak.

When Luo Jin heard Xiao Yuzi's words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his eyes turned to the two women with the medicine in their hands.Wen Qin and Ye Xi.These two names he had heard of.In the letters that Concubine An sent back, he knew that these two women were Concubine Shu's right-hand men.

Concubine Shu was born in a family of generals, has a straightforward temperament, can survive in this treacherous deep palace, and crushes a group of concubines under her, even Shen Bihuan can't kill her edge, Wen Qin and Ye Xi are the most important heroes, because they are the ones who taught Gu Yanru how to please Xiao Ling, and have been favored ever since.

"It's all excused." Luo Jin said, and then asked again. Is this the medicine for the concubine, who blocked the assassin's arrow for the emperor, and whose loyalty to the emperor is very impressive."

Luo Jin said as he spoke, then took two steps forward, walked in front of Ye Xi and Wen Qin, stretched out his hand and helped them up, his eyes swept over the medicinal materials in the hands of the two, a trace of inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, and his eyes also carried a hint of inquiry.

"If the little marquis has no other instructions, the slaves and maids will retire first. Wen Qin got up and said to Luo Jin.

"This is medicine for the lady concubine." The corners of Luo Jin's mouth flashed with a slight smile, and then he spoke. It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, and the lady is injured and in a coma for the emperor.

"Little Marquis, please rest assured, this prescription was prescribed by the emperor to the imperial doctor, and the medicine was also prescribed by the imperial doctor. Wen Qin nodded yes, and her face was respectful.

Luo Jin didn't say anything, just waved at the two of them and told them to leave.

Wen Qin and Ye Xi said goodbye and turned to leave, but they didn't know that their every move fell into the eyes of the little marquis Luo Jin.Luo Jin's eyes followed Ye Xi's back.There was a touch of deep thought in his eyes.His brows were slightly locked.It seemed that he had understood something.

"Little Marquis, further on, it is the palace built by the first emperor when he was there, and it has been abandoned for a long time." Xiao Yuzi opened her mouth to explain.

"I think it's almost time for the emperor and my father to discuss things, let's go back." Luo Jin nodded, turned around and walked towards the way he came.

He entered the palace this time, not to see the emperor, to look around in the palace is just a pretense, his main purpose is to see this Ye Xi, who only hears his name but does not see his person, but he didn't expect that there is such a coincidental thing in the world.

And the ...... that Ye Xi was holding in his hand If he's not mistaken, it's aconite powder.

Aconite powder is very common and easy to see, because it can make women radiant to a certain extent, so it is usually used by some women to dress up themselves, but now that Concubine Shu is in a coma in bed, there is no need to dress up at all.

As far as he knows, in addition to beauty, aconite powder also contains highly toxic poison, and an overdose can kill you.

However, he didn't say all these questions on the spot, but hid them in his heart, because Ye Xi took aconite powder, and it was not for Concubine Shu, it may also be for his own use.

Xiao Yuzi saw that Luo Jin seemed to be thinking about something, so he stopped saying a word and led Luo Jin back to the gate of Longchen Palace, but just happened to see Qin Xi send the different surname Hou Luo Peiwen out of it.

"Father." Seeing this, Luo Jin hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Let's go back." Hou with a different surname said this, and he and Luo Jin went out of the palace directly and returned to the annex in the western suburbs.

After entering the annex, Luo Jin saw that the other surnamed Hou seemed to be frowning, and his heart was puzzled, so he asked, "Father, what happened to make you so worried."

"It's okay, it's just that the emperor's attitude towards being a father is a little strange." The other surname Hou said. The emperor not only did not object, but immediately agreed, and said that he specially ordered the father to meet his daughter.

"Maybe it's because the emperor is grateful for his father's hard work and great achievements that he will have this grace." Luo Jin guessed.

"I don't know if it's my father, but the emperor has other plans, so let's prepare early." The other surname Hou said. Tonight, you're going to go to King Yi's Mansion to find out the news and see if what Yiyi said is true."

"The child knows." Luo Jin nodded, and then spoke. Father, the child is in the palace today, and he has discovered a very strange thing."

Luo Jin said this, and told all the things he had met Wen Qin and Ye Xi, as well as Ye Xi holding aconite powder in his hand, and told him all the speculations in his heart.

"This is not in a hurry, now is not the time to find Ye Xi, if you can really rehabilitate the Ye family, you will naturally need her, if you contact her too early, it may expose her, arouse the emperor's suspicion." Hou said, and then ordered Luo Jin a few more words, and then went back to his room to rest.

The twilight is fading, the sun is slowly disappearing into the mountains, the last rays of light in the sky are gone, and the sound of drums is coming.

A dark shadow dodged out of the annex in the western suburbs, deftly dodging the guards of the annex, avoiding the Gyeonggi guards who were patrolling the streets, and headed towards the Yiwang Mansion.

Luo Jin was dressed in a night suit, wrapping his whole body, blending in with the night, only those bright eyes, shining in the moonlight, scorching and impossible to ignore.

The two played a game for a long time, and at the same time heard the movement on the roof, glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.

"Hold Yu, you go and lure him away." The white child in Qingchen's hand fell, and he commanded coldly.

Shake Yu nodded, dressed in black, and quickly left Luluoju, even the movement on the roof before was missing.

The corners of his mouth flashed a faint smile. Looking at the entire chessboard, the white seeds have hidden the potential of soaring dragons and flying into the sky, forming a solid city wall, surrounding the sunspots everywhere, and the sunspots are scattered, still scattered and unsettled.

Xiao Yi didn't speak, just fell lightly, and in an instant, the situation changed suddenly, and the sunspots that were originally scattered everywhere suddenly became a line, echoing each other, making Baizi like a turtle in an urn, and it was difficult to escape.

"The prince is a great chess player, I lost." Qingchen glanced at the chessboard, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and threw the white piece in his hand into the chess box.

"It's not that I'm good at chess, it's that the princess is distracted." Xiao Yi said lightly. It's time for the princess to leave."

"Those who know me, the prince also." Qingchen smiled, then got up, changed into night clothes in the inner room, saw Zhao Yan against her face, didn't know where to come out of nowhere and sat opposite Xiao Yi, continued the chess game just now, then put his mind at ease, turned to leave.

Since she had insight into Concubine An's intention to enter the palace, she had reached an agreement with Concubine An, and the two helped each other, so Concubine An often mentioned herself in her family letters to Hou with a different surname.
