This means that if they take in Yu Xiujun, they will get into trouble. But fortunately, Bai Yuxian's identity is here, and the other party must be polite and do not dare to mess around.
The next day, the emperor came in person in disguise. Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun came to the main hall to receive him.
"Brother, the emperor is busy with government affairs and has many things to do. Why do you have time to come to the princess's mansion today?" Ye Fuxun asked politely with a smile.
Yu Xiuqi always had a slight smile on his face and said: "Prince Chen and Sixth Sister came to the palace to see me two days ago. I was busy with official duties and did not meet with you, so I am very sorry.
I took advantage of my relaxation today and came to the house to apologize, hoping that the prince and Sixth Sister would not take it to heart."
Ye Fuxun pretended to be flattered and said hurriedly: "I don't dare to take this seriously. My brother is now the king of a country. How dare my sister blame you? The matters affecting us are not urgent. It won't hurt if we talk about it later."
Yu Xiuqi lowered his eyes and looked at the floating leaves in the tea cup, pondered for a moment, and asked: "By the way, what did the prince and the sixth sister come to the palace that day to ask for something important from me?"
Bai Yuxian said: "We are going to bid farewell to you, Your Majesty, and prepare to return to Dongchen."
"Going back to Dongchen?" Yu Xiuqi raised his eyebrows, "So that's what happened. The prince has been in the Western Kingdom for a long time, and it is inevitable that he is thinking about Dongchen in his heart. But I was negligent. I wonder when you plan to leave?"
"It will take another two or three days." Ye Fuxun replied.
Yu Xiuqi thought for a while and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry, right? In half a month, it will be the Six-Day Festival in June. It is the most important festival of the year in the Western Kingdom. By then, the whole country will be rejoicing, and the capital will be very lively.
.
The prince is from Dongchen, and I guess he has never celebrated the Tiankuang Festival, so why not stay a few more days and wait until the festival is over before leaving?"
Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun looked at each other, both suspicious. They were not sure what kind of conspiracy Yu Xiuqi was brewing. However, it was absolutely impossible that he simply wanted them to spend the festival here.
Of course Bai Yuxian wanted to refuse: "No, I am still in a hurry to go back and have something to do, so it would be better to set off as early as possible."
Yu Xiuqi smiled slightly and said: "In that case, I won't force you to stay, so I wish the prince and Liu Mei a safe journey."
When he said this, Ye Fuxun suddenly felt that he was too talkative. While he was still thinking, Yu Xiuqi suddenly changed the topic to another matter.
"I heard that King Jing was missing. Someone from the palace came to report him. He went out the afternoon before yesterday and never came back. He hasn't seen anyone yet. I wonder if you heard about it, Sixth Sister?"
Ye Fuxun looked surprised at first, and then smiled helplessly and said: "The eldest brother is not missing, he is just injured. He happened to fall at the door of the princess's house that night, and asked the servants in the house to rescue him. Now he is here
I'm recovering here.
It’s also my fault that I didn’t think carefully. When I was busy, I forgot to send someone to tell the prince, so that the emperor brother also followed suit. Does the emperor want to see the eldest brother? "
Yu Xiuqi shook his head: "No need, I feel relieved knowing that he is safe. How is his injury? Is it serious?"
Ye Fuxun said: "It was quite serious. I almost died. Fortunately, with proper treatment, there is no big problem now. I will be able to walk on the ground after a day or two of recovery."
Yu Xiuqi looked happy, but in fact he was extremely upset. He actually didn't kill Yu Xiujun this time. He would be on guard in the future, and it would be difficult to get rid of him again.
I heard Ye Fuxun say again: "Brother originally planned to leave for the northwest tomorrow, but unexpectedly he was seriously injured. It seems that he will not be able to leave for at least half a month."
She said this specifically to let Yu Xiuqi know that Yu Xiujun would return to the northwest and continue to be his prefect, and would not compete with him for the throne.
However, I don’t know if it will be effective. After all, compared to Yu Xiuqi, although Yu Xiujun is already a powerless prince, he still has a high reputation in the court. As long as he is still there, he is a threat.
.
As expected, Yu Xiuqi didn't react much. He just smiled symbolically and said, "My health is still important. It doesn't hurt to go back later."
Ye Fuxun glanced at him and suddenly said: "Recently, I heard some rumors about eldest brother. Some people said that eldest brother returned to Beijing with a certain purpose. I wonder if the emperor has heard of it?"
"I heard something about it."
"Does the emperor believe it?"
Yu Xiuqi shook his head and said: "As Liu Mei said, those are just rumors, deliberately spread by people with good intentions. Naturally, I can't believe them. What do you think?"
"I think so. If eldest brother really wanted to covet that position, he would not have voluntarily resigned from the position of prince. Those who spread rumors are undoubtedly just trying to alienate you brothers."
Ye Fuxun smiled brightly and said, "But fortunately, brother, you have a bright mind and ignored those rumors."
Yu Xiuqi took a deep look at Ye Fulun and felt that there was something behind her words. He guessed that she might have something more to say, so he waited for her to continue.
"My eldest brother was assassinated and injured this time, maybe it was done by those with evil intentions," Ye Fuxun expressed deep concern.
"He is no longer what he used to be. Now the eldest brother is alone. He doesn't even have a bodyguard to protect him. If someone sends someone to kill him again in the future, I wonder if he will be as lucky as this time and escape.
Tribulation.
Sigh...what should I do?"
Bai Yuxian, who was silent, suddenly suggested: "Isn't this easy to handle? Since those people want to sow discord between the emperor and Prince Jing, it would be better for the emperor to send someone to protect Prince Jing openly.
Let them know that the emperor and Prince Jing are still brothers and will always trust and support each other. Wouldn’t the other party give up completely?"
Ye Fuxun's eyes lit up, he suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a good idea. Brother Huang, what do you think?"
Yu Xiuqi's face stiffened for a moment, and he was secretly angry. The couple sang together, clearly trying to find a shelter for Yu Xiujun, and this shelter happened to be him, the person who wanted to kill Yu Xiujun. He was really clever.
trick!
Everyone knew that it was his people who were protecting Yu Xiujun. If Yu Xiujun still died, then the ministers in the court would naturally suspect him, and everything would be even more difficult to handle.
The emperor naturally didn't want to protect King Jing, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to say: I will send someone to protect King Jing tomorrow, so it should be absolutely foolproof."
Thinking of Yu Xiuqi's frustrated expression just now, I couldn't help but laugh."
Bai Yuxian smiled, scraped Ye Fuxun's nose lovingly, and said, "If I can't even tell what you are thinking, how can I be your husband?
