Xia Xifeng took Yao Muzixi to the hut in the middle of the lake where they had lived together. They looked at the faint moonlight in the sky together, never expecting to return here.
"How about we go to the palace when it gets dark." Xia Xifeng looked at the moonlight in the sky and said calmly.
"Well, okay, I just want to meet my father." Yao Muzixi's eyes seemed to flash with tears. She hadn't seen her father for a long time, and she didn't know if he was doing well at the moment.
It was late at night, and outside the imperial city gate, there were heavy soldiers everywhere. There were also not a few soldiers patrolling the city. Xia Xifeng and Yao Muzixi quickly passed through several secret doors. Fortunately, they were very hungry, but these soldiers were
Nothing was found.
It didn't take long for the two of them to enter the palace smoothly. Everything in this palace was so familiar to Yao Muzixi, but the palace seemed to be less lively than before and now it was particularly clean.
Yao Muzixi and Xia Xifeng were wearing night clothes and hiding in the dark. They saw patrolling guards everywhere in the palace. Yao Muzixi looked at these guards and felt that they were unfamiliar. Speaking of this palace, she was not the best.
It couldn't be more familiar. After all, in this palace, I am confused about life and death, and I have tasted all kinds of things.
Yao Muzixi and Xia Xifeng were hiding on the roof, and saw a woman walking into Yao Jingyu's palace in a panic. Yao Muzixi secretly thought, her father must be asleep at this time. Why is that woman going to his father's palace?
?
Yao Muzixi turned over, jumped to Yao Jingyu's bedroom, and hid behind a curtain. Xia Xifeng had no time to stop her, so she had to follow them to Yao Jingyu's bedroom.
I saw the woman dressed in red, holding a bowl in her hand and coming to Yao Jingyu's bed. She put the bowl on the table beside her and helped Yao Jingyu sit up. I heard Yao Jingyu's fierce words.
He coughed a few times, looked up at the woman in front of him, showed a wry smile and said, "The medicine that Concubine Chu Xiang ordered you to bring?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen said that you are not in good health and you must take medicine three times a day." The woman glanced at Yao Jingyu, with a bright smile flashing in her eyes.
"Okay, I understand, please step back first!" Yao Jingyu looked at the woman with a tired look on his face.
The woman looked at Yao Jingyu in embarrassment, her tone became a little unhappy and said: "My Majesty said, I have to personally see that the Emperor has taken the medicine before he can leave."
Yao Muzixi looked at her father like this and felt really bad in her heart. Her father was sick and she drank some unknown medicine. It must be Concubine Chu Xiang's fault. Her father had always been in good health before.
, it’s impossible to fall ill after not seeing him for a few months.
With a sharp turn, Yao Muzixi quickly dodged behind the woman, put a sword on the woman's neck, and snorted coldly: "If you want to live, just stay here."
The woman let out a frightened "Ah" and quickly closed her mouth when she heard Yao Muzixi's cold shout.
Yao Jingyu looked at Yao Muzixi in front of him in disbelief. Although he was dressed in men's clothing, he still recognized his most precious daughter at a glance. But when did his Xier learn good martial arts?
"Xi'er, is that you?" Yao Jingyu stood up quickly and dropped the bowl of medicine on the ground. With a bang, the bowl broke into half, and the medicine in the bowl spread all over the floor.
"What's going on?" Perhaps it was the sound of the bowl hitting the floor that attracted the attention of the guards outside, and someone outside could be heard asking loudly.
Yao Muzixi brought the sword in his hand closer to the woman's neck and winked at her. The woman was also a smart woman, and she quickly said: "It's nothing. I was careless when delivering the medicine and broke it."
Bowl, I'll pack it up and come out right away."
"Take it easy and be careful when doing things." The guard outside scolded him and left after saying that.
When Yao Muzixi saw that everyone was gone, he glanced at Xia Xifeng and put away his sword. Xia Xifeng walked up behind the woman in red and knocked the woman unconscious with a single force.
"Xi'er? Is that you?" Yao Jingyu looked at Yao Muzixi with a look of joy in his eyes.
Yao Muzixi took off the black cloth from his mask smoothly, and tears fell from his eyes. Yao Muzixi dropped the sword in his hand, threw himself into Yao Jingyu's arms, and cried in pain: "Father, what are you doing?
Are you sick? You look so haggard!"
Yao Jingyu showed a look of relief on his face, patted Yao Muzixi's back, and said sadly: "Xi'er, I've been so worried about you recently! I overheard your Aunt Chu's conversation with someone, saying
I want to buy you now. But now the palace is full of people belonging to the prince and your concubine Chu. My father is like a puppet now and I can’t do anything to them."
"Father, what kind of medicine did they give you? I know. I have always known that Aunt Chu wanted to kill me. Assassins started to assassinate me wherever I was in Landu. Fortunately, I had the Third Prince and Ouyang Haonan with me.
." Yao Muzixi said and glanced at Xia Xifeng.
Xia Xifeng also took off the black scarf on his face. Yao Jingyu felt a lot more relieved when he saw Xia Xifeng, but he never thought that his daughter, who had been protected by him, would now learn martial arts well, which really made him
Very surprised: "Xi'er, what's going on with your martial arts?"
"Father, this matter is indeed strange. I will talk to you slowly in the future. The most important thing now is to rescue you from the palace. I really don't worry about you staying in this wolf's den anymore." Yao
Mu Zixi glanced in the direction of the door, with a sharp expression in her eyes.
"Leave? I'm afraid I won't survive within three days." Yao Jingyu looked at his distressed daughter and sighed softly.
Yao Muzixi frowned and looked at his father in disbelief, saying, "Why can't I leave? Is it because my father doesn't want to leave the palace with his daughter?"
"It was your Aunt Chu who poisoned me." Yao Jingyu glanced at Yao Muzixi lightly, with a lifeless expression on his face.
Yao Muzixi gritted her teeth, wishing to kill Concubine Chu Xiang for pleasure. It was in vain that her father was so kind to her, and she was a spy of Chu State.
"Your Majesty, Princess, I have a plan." Xia Xifeng smiled lightly, leaned into the ears of Yao Muzixi and Yao Jingyu, and whispered something.
After hearing this, Yao Jingyu nodded, glanced at Yao Muzixi, and watched with some uneasiness as Yao Muzixi and Xia Xifeng hid in the darkness.
In the Taiyi Palace, there were huge lanterns, as if they were entertaining someone. Yao Muzixi and Xia Xifeng dressed up in disguise and sneaked into the Taiyi Palace.
Concubine Chu Xiang was seen sitting on the main seat, looking leisurely and indifferent. Prince Yao Ruolie walked to Concubine Chu Xiang, leaned over and saluted, and then sat beside Concubine Chu Xiang.
"I don't know why my mother summoned these people to the Prince's Mansion for this purpose?" Yao Ruolie looked at Concubine Chu Xiang who was sitting upright, with a hint of unhappiness in his eyes.
"Your father is not in good health, so you naturally have to worry more about state affairs, and it saves your father from worrying, right? These ministers were promoted by your father to assist you, so you should give them a
Wake up, you are the future leader of our Yao Lan Kingdom." Concubine Chu Xiang's eyes were bright.
"Then why doesn't the Queen Mother let me go and see my father? My father is sick. How can I, a son, be so unfilial?" A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Yao Ruolie's eyes. He only heard the Queen Mother say that his father was sick, but
It is really puzzling to prevent the courtiers from going to see their father, and always find some unfounded reasons to stop him. Now he is trying so hard to win over the courtiers, which is really strange when he thinks about it.
