The first thousand three hundred and eighty-two chapters
Listening to Ye Fuxun's words, Bai Yuxian's eyes darkened, and his heart was slightly cold. He almost gritted his teeth and said each word out from between his teeth: "Do I still need to thank you for being so thoughtful?"
Ye Fuxun looked up at him and blinked innocently.
Seeing that Ye Fuxun showed no emotion at all, Bai Yuxian felt pain in his heart and said in a cold voice: "I have not yet reached the point where I need to rely on women to seize power. Don't even think about it. You are not allowed to mention it again in the future."
After that, Bai Yuxian tossed his sleeves and left, leaving Ye Fuxun in a daze.
It's strange that even though I was scolded, I still felt a little secretly happy in my heart.
Ye Fuxun patted his face and shook his head.
My brain has been getting worse and worse lately, and even taking antipyretics doesn't work.
In the next two days, Bai Yuxian and Zhao Yan stayed in the palace, but they locked themselves in the study room all day long, plotting something. Even though they were under the same roof, they could not see anyone.
Ye Fuxun wanted to take a look several times, but Lu Ming stopped him at the door.
Lu Ming looked at Ye Fulun with difficulty: "My queen, please come back. The emperor has said not to let anyone get close..."
Lu Ming felt bitter in his heart. The emperor and the empress quarreled no matter what they said. It was him, the subordinate, who was in trouble!
Ye Fuxun encountered a problem, but he didn't bother and really left.
Bai Yuxian, who was holding a book in the study, looked away slightly from the bedside. Zhao Yan behind him was reading information.
"The stronghold of that group of people can basically be determined. They really are not from the South Country, but they helped you by accident."
The busy thing he mentioned was the assassination that led to Bai Yitong's demotion. In fact, Bai Yitong really wronged Bai Yuxian. Bai Yuxian just spread rumors, but he didn't expect that a wave of people actually assassinated the concubine and left behind
The evidence is the clues of the Southern Kingdom.
Bai Yuxian could tell at a glance that someone was framing someone at some time, but the situation at that time suited him, so he added fuel to the flames. Now it was naturally time to settle the general ledger.
"Those people are traitors... intending to provoke a war between the Southern Kingdom and the Mainland Kingdom."
Zhao Yan turned the brush in his hand, the ink was dry, and he thought.
"Once a war is provoked, someone will definitely go out to fight. When the emperor arrives, what will happen on the battlefield..."
Zhao Yan did not continue speaking, but the meaning of his words was already obvious.
The intention of these people is to force the Southern Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom to go to war. At that time, the Lu Kingdom will send Bai Yuxian to conquer it. In the border area, swords have no eyes, and it is easy to block open and hidden arrows. It will be easy for Bai Yuxian to do anything.
Yes.
Although it is not yet clear what their plans are, now they can take precautions and catch them all in advance, so there is no need to worry about what will happen in the future.
The two discussed the arrangements again, and after confirming that there were no problems, Lu Ming walked in.
Bai Yuxian ordered: "Keep Wu Xin in the palace to protect the safety of the empress."
Lu Ming responded and stepped back.
Early the next morning, Bai Yuxian and Zhao Yan left with a group of people.
Ye Fuxun stood in the house and watched Bai Yuxian leave.
When Xiao Yu came in and saw this, she pursed her lips. She had been absent-minded all day since the day she and the emperor had dinner together.
"Didn't the empress ask that boy Zhuo Lang to go look for Yuzhu? Why, it's been half a month and he still hasn't come back, and he hasn't sent a message."
After Xiaoyu said this, Ye Fuxun remembered it.
The place where Polygonatum odorifera grows is not far from the capital, and if you travel faster, it will take ten days for a round trip.
However, Zhuo Lang was very skilled, so Ye Fuxun wasn't too worried about his safety. Instead, he glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "Don't you always hate having him hanging around in front of your eyes?"
Xiao Yu's face turned red, and then she stuck out her tongue and said, "I haven't seen him making trouble these days, but I'm not used to it."
Hearing this, Ye Fuxun smiled and shook his head: "He has strong martial arts skills and will not be in danger. Maybe something delayed him on the way."
As soon as she finished speaking, a maidservant hurriedly ran in from outside, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, someone from the Grand Scholar's Office has come to say that my wife is suddenly ill and unconscious. I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"How could it be!"
Ye Fuxun stood up suddenly. The master's wife was always in good health, how could she...
A trace of uncertainty flashed in her eyes, and she was so anxious that she had no time to think too much and hurriedly asked someone to prepare the sedan.
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's face turned a little pale. Madam was kind-hearted and a good person, so how could something happen just because she said it? She immediately went to prepare without stopping.
Ye Fuxun outside the door took a special look at the boy who came to deliver the message. He was indeed from the palace, but he was not very friendly. He just thought that the palace was in chaos and randomly sent someone to run errands to deliver the message.
The carriage drove very fast, and Xiaoyu turned pale with fright. She did not forget to comfort Ye Fuxun: "Mrs. Jiren has his own destiny. Don't be anxious, I heard that the imperial doctor has been invited."
Ye Fuxun pinched her eyebrows and said nothing. For some reason, she always felt that something was wrong. She felt depressed and opened the door curtain to get some air.
However, just when she looked out, she noticed that the carriage was turning sharply and entering a deserted alley. Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves, and she heard the horse "neighing", and the carriage shook violently and stopped.
Ye Fuxun's head hit the car frame. His already weak body was even more dizzy at this moment.
She rubbed her head and pushed herself up to get up. Just as she was about to ask the coachman what was going on, she saw a burst of blood splattering on the curtain. The coachman fell from the car, and there was a strong smell of blood.
Xiaoyu was already frightened, but when she saw this scene she screamed and fainted.
Ye Fuxun huddled in the carriage. Through the window, he could see more than a dozen men in black jumping down from the surrounding walls and surrounding the carriage.
At this moment, Ye Fuxun could not understand what was happening.
She put her hand into her sleeve and put a dagger in it... which she had prepared for self-defense. Then she covered the unconscious Xiao Yu with a blanket and walked out of the carriage with support.
The boy from the Bachelor's Mansion was holding a sword with a sneer on his face that was determined to win. The sword was dripping with blood and belonged to the carriage driver.
Ye Fuxun took a breath of air. The young boy was added to the house later, but he didn't expect that he was a buried chess piece.
Who is it... Nome? She doesn't have the strength, and Ning Ruo doesn't have the brains... What are these people... trying to do?
Suddenly Ye Fuxun remembered what Bai Yuxian was doing these days, and he didn't avoid her specifically, so Ye Fuxun also knew a little bit about it.
Could it be related to that matter? Ye Fuxun held his breath and concentrated, thinking that the long sword was about to stab him.
Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and another sword passed through the young man's throat, killing him with one sword.
The boy's eyes widened and his pupils bulged, as if he couldn't believe that he died so quickly.
The target was right in front of him, and the boy fell down.
Ye Fuxun saw Wu Xin behind the boy, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
