Chapter 130 Acting in Secret

"Miss..." Qingguo, who was still drunk just now, immediately sobered up. Already knowing the special identity of the young lady, the emperor suddenly summoned the young lady to enter the palace alone this time. Will he be found out?

Ren Danqing fanned fiercely with the folding fan in his hand, obviously feeling a little worried in his heart.

Ran Piao scratched his head in confusion: "What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing to let Miss Yun enter the palace?"

How could this be a good thing...

Yun Xi smiled bitterly.

She is not only Yunxi, but also Baizheng.

"I'll go for you." Lu Qingfan was the first to speak: "If you want to call people from the Criminal Department, you must get my permission."

"Well, it's just an oral instruction. Are you thinking too complicatedly?" Zong Yi had no idea why everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Lu Qingfan's dark eyes were filled with a hint of coldness: "If the Holy One can justly and honestly issue a decree to summon the criminals who have made outstanding contributions to the palace to receive their rewards, we will naturally have nothing to fear."

Because it is an oral instruction, it is difficult to predict the divine will.

The Holy Emperor was suspected of being seriously ill. When he reported Luo Qingfeng's affairs in the royal study, he did not want to implicate others and was loyal to the prince, which also made Long Yan unhappy.

There is no guarantee that the emperor will not use Yun Xi to beat Lu Qingfan.

After listening to Lu Qingfan's words, everyone's expressions became more solemn, as if Yun Xi was not entering the palace, but was going to the gate of hell.

"Master Zong is right." Yun Xi looked at Lu Qingfan and said warmly: "Is there any inconvenience for me to enter the palace? Your Excellency must not go on my behalf."

Being in disarray will only make the emperor suspicious of her identity.

Lu Qingfan's eyes darkened slightly, "Do you want to go?"

"I think about it." Yun Xi subconsciously clenched her hands and said softly, "I've thought about it for a long time."

I want to see what kind of wise and powerful person the current Holy Emperor is who ordered the death of her whole family and ordered tens of thousands of students from Jiangnan not to enter the officialdom for ten years.

"My lord, I also think that Miss Yun's guess has some truth to it." Ran Piao said sarcastically: "As you said, it was only yesterday that the imperial edict praised the work so highly. It's hard to find a reason to kill him today, right?"

Lu Qingfan remained silent.

"Sir, let me go." Yun Xi said sincerely, "I will adapt accordingly."

He refused, and Yun Xi was unwilling to act without permission, which hurt Lu Qingfan's desire to protect him.

"Forget it, you go on your own... I'll pick you up at the Imperial City later." After a long while, Lu Qingfan finally gave in.

Yun Xi's eyebrows were slightly curved, and she bowed slightly and saluted: "Thank you, sir."

Everyone is worried about Yun Xi, but how can they refuse the Lord's summons?

In order not to arouse suspicion, Yun Xi could only go alone.

Watching the little girl leave with the heavy burden on her back, Lu Qingfan turned around and walked in the other direction.

"Hey, Qingfan, what are you doing?" Zong Yi quickly stopped him and said, "Don't do anything stupid!"

"Looking for Prince An." After Lu Qingfan said this, he flew up to perform his martial arts and walked along the eaves of the house.

"He is going to move reinforcements." Zong Yi murmured.

"Concern leads to chaos," Ren Danqing stroked his beard: "Even for us, Mr. Lu will not do anything random."

Considering Lu Qingfan's sultry attitude, I'm afraid he wouldn't risk it himself and leave Yun Xi to someone else.

Zong Yi nodded seriously: "Nothing wrong."

When Yun Xi came to the tall imperial city, she raised her head slightly and looked at the towering palace wall with her smart eyes, her eyes filled with determination.

She will come out safely.

"But the Ministry of Punishment is clouding the situation?"

A sharp voice came from the front. Yun Xi looked away and saw an unfamiliar young father-in-law coming forward nervously: "Is it Yun Zuo?"

"She is a daughter of the people. My father-in-law is..." Before Yun Xi could ask, the little father-in-law could not wait to grab Yun Xi's wrist and lead him to the palace gate.

"Stop talking about it now, Yun Wuzuo, hurry up and follow the slave into the palace!" Before entering, the young father-in-law skillfully took out a token and showed it to the city guard.

After being released smoothly, Yun Xi, carrying a huge burden, helplessly rushed to the young father-in-law who was walking very fast in front of him: "Father-in-law, please walk slower."

"Ah, I'm sorry." The little father-in-law finally realized that he was walking too fast and Yun Xi could no longer keep up.

He smiled sarcastically, and hurried forward to take Yun Xi's baggage and carry it on his back. He politely asked Yun Xi to be patient and urged her to follow her quickly.

Yun Xi thanked him politely and did not refuse.

While leading the way, the young father-in-law explained to himself: "My name is Xiao Baozi, and I usually work outside the imperial study. Today, my master, Eunuch Song, has asked me to take you to Chuxiu Palace."

"Chu Xiu Palace?" Yun Xi was startled, "Eunuch Xiaobao, wasn't it the emperor who summoned the daughter of the people?"

"Look, I'm confused. It was indeed the Emperor who summoned him, but it was because of Concubine De's affairs." After Xiao Baozi finished speaking, he looked around cautiously, and then added after confirming that no one was around: "

The situation is urgent and we can only act expediently, so don’t be surprised if you do something wrong.”

Yun Xi understood, "I understand, I must keep it a secret."

"Yun Wu's work will tell the truth!" Xiao Baozi is still young, and his emotions and anger are all expressed on his face. After this "whisper", his attitude towards Yun Xi has become much more friendly.

Knowing that she didn't have to see the emperor, Yun Xi was relieved and a little disappointed at the same time.

It seems that God also thinks that today is not the time to end everything...

Chuxiu Palace is located at the left corner of the backyard of the palace, and you need to bypass the main hall of the outer palace.

After walking half a stick of incense before seeing the Chuxiu palace gate, Yun Xi finally understood why Mr. Xiaobaozi was so anxious.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and whispered, "It's so far away."

Xiao Baozi smiled coquettishly and said, "Yunwu, please wait a moment. Once you get dressed, we have to go in."

"yes."

As soon as you enter the Chuxiu Palace Gate, the azaleas are blooming red and hot, and the same clusters of nameless white flowers are set off from a distance, which is quite elegant and beautiful like the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiao Baozi and Yun Xi stood beside the main hall and called out in a loud voice: "Sister Cuiyun, I have brought Yun Zuo to pay homage to Concubine De."

Next to them, a woman who looked like a third-class palace maid stuck her head out, glanced at Xiao Baozi and Yun Xi, and then hurried to the backyard.

"It's time to find Sister Cuiyun." Xiao Baozi explained to Yun Xi enthusiastically.

Yun Xi nodded. She came to the palace for the first time and adhered to the principle of talking less and doing more, not looking around and not saying anything.

After a while, a calm girl in emerald green palace clothes came to greet her from the corridor in the backyard. She smiled and handed some broken silver to Xiao Baozi: "Thank you, my dear father-in-law, this is the tea that Concubine De has invited you to.

"

After saying that, she did not forget to nod and salute Yun Xi.

Yun Xi knelt down and gave a half salute, secretly guessing that this experienced woman was the "Sister Cuiyun" that Xiao Baozi had just mentioned.

Xiaobaozi's father-in-law smiled happily and accepted it with great gratitude. He did not forget to hand the baggage back to Yun Xi, and said in his mouth: "Yun Guzuo can follow Sister Cuiyun into the inner courtyard."

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Xiaobao." Yun Xi nodded to say goodbye to the young eunuch, and followed Miss Cuiyun to the inner courtyard.

Cuiyun's clothes are simple and elegant, but she behaves dignifiedly. I'm afraid she is a very respectable stewardess in front of Empress Dowager De.

The two of them walked around the winding long hall corridor and arrived at the main hall in the backyard of Empress Dowager De. Yun Xi immediately felt that something was wrong.

Go to the inner hall for the first time. Unless Concubine De has something secret to do, it is definitely not a good sign.

"Miss Yun, don't be nervous. My mother-in-law is not feeling well and it is not convenient to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look. So I asked the emperor for a favor and asked Miss Yun to come and diagnose her pulse."

Cuiyun was so smart that he could see what Yun Xi was thinking at a glance and explained it clearly immediately.

This makes sense.

"It is the honor of a common girl to treat Concubine De," Yun Xi said politely.

Cuiyun smiled slightly and continued to lead the way.

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and followed closely, her vigilance not lessening but increasing.

Concubine De has a high position and is the biological mother of His Royal Highness Prince Yi. Why can't she find a good doctor? Although some women's illnesses cannot be treated by imperial doctors, is there still a shortage of medical women in the capital?

When the two came to the inner room, Yun Xi was attracted by the pale lady on the bed: she had a dignified and elegant appearance. Although she did not have the most beautiful facial features, her comfortable, gentle and charming demeanor made people fall in love with her at first sight.

When she looked at Yun Xi, her eyes were full of gentleness and kindness, she smiled slightly and said, "Is this Miss Yun?"

Yun Xi quickly put down her baggage, kowtowed and saluted: "A common girl has seen the Concubine De."

"Wow, being famous is not as good as meeting her. Miss Yun is really a very beautiful lady!" The woman in purple dress who was waiting for Empress Dowager De to get up spoke in a crisp and lively manner.

Yun Xi raised her head in surprise and said calmly: "This is not a compliment from a girl."

"This is Miss Shen Qin, our queen's eldest maid." Cuiyun introduced to Yun Xi with a smile, and then said helplessly: "Chen Qin, don't scare the guests."

Shen Qin stuck out her tongue and stepped aside.

Normally, the ladies in the palace who follow the favored empress do not have to be so polite to Yun Xi. However, they are not only polite and kind to others, but they also do not call Yun Xi "Wu Zuo", they only call Yun Xi "girl" warmly, which makes people feel good.

"I'd like to ask you to extend your hand, so I can diagnose my pulse." Yun Xi took out her medical bag from the baggage, and her soft voice made people feel at ease.

Empress De Fei smiled and put her hand on the medical bag in cooperation.

As soon as her jade-white hand touched the weak pulse of Empress Dowager De, Yun Xi's eyes sank.
