In the morning of the next day, all the officials waited outside the Meridian Gate for a long time. The palace door slowly opened, and the person who walked out was not the Yulin Guard who greeted them, but Wei Heyan.
"The Emperor is unwell and will temporarily suspend the court for three days. Your Excellencies, just call on time and follow the rules. If you have any matters, report them according to the priority and the court will give you a reply as soon as possible!"
"Retreat from the court——"
In the past, the morning court had to be suspended because Emperor Yao was unwell, but this time it came a bit suddenly. Yesterday, when he went to the morning court, it seemed that Emperor Yao was in good spirits and showed no signs of illness.
Shen Jianxing and Bo'an looked at each other and asked, "Master Wei, can we enter the palace to visit the emperor?"
All the officials are still here. If you can visit the palace, you will naturally seize this opportunity!
"The Emperor was ill last night and is still awake now. If the Prime Minister wants to visit, please wait until daybreak. The Emperor happens to be looking for you to discuss important matters..."
The news in the palace was blocked. Apart from the personnel transfer of court officials, there was another major event at this time... Shen's case was definitely related to that matter, so he didn't ask much.
"Then I will wait until dawn before visiting the palace."
Bo'an was left alone and wanted to enter the palace immediately, but he was alone and had no one to help him, so he had to give up.
"I'm also waiting for dawn."
The two adults both said that they would wait until dawn to enter the palace, but the ministers did not dare to retreat and hurriedly expressed that they would wait until dawn to enter the palace to visit.
Wei Heyan did not comment on this, looked at the crowd, and walked up to Si Yiluo.
"Master Si, the Emperor has invited you."
The gazes of all the officials instantly surrounded Si Yiluo. Wei Heyan's contradictory statements made Shen Shenxing feel uncomfortable. Did the emperor not want to see him?
Why?
Wei Heyan turned to the ministers and said, "Your Majesty has given orders. It's still early and you don't need to stand guard in front of the palace gate. Sir Si, please invite me."
Si Yiluo walked to the front despite the pressure from the officials, distanced himself from Wei Heyan, and passed through the palace gate one after another, leaving the officials behind.
"what you do?"
He didn't come home last night, and Emperor Yao was ill this morning. It was too much of a coincidence.
There were other chamberlains accompanying him. Si Yiluo did not dare to speak too clearly. Wei Heyan said in a strange tone: "Master Si gave that thing to the emperor last night. Didn't he already expect today's result?"
The two of them had always been at odds in front of others, and if they didn't talk to each other, Si Yiluo would certainly not ask again.
She was silent, thinking in her heart, if only because of this, Emperor Yao would not be so ill that it would be difficult to go to court, he must have done something in the middle.
The whole journey was silent, and when we arrived at Emperor Yao's palace, Wan Zhong was waiting for Emperor Yao to drink medicine.
"Your Majesty, you..." The strong smell of medicine in the palace made her frown. Emperor Yao seemed haggard than yesterday, with no blood on his face and lips. Si Yiluo knelt down and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. If Because of Xiaguan’s secret betrayal... Xiaguan must be blamed for his death!"
Wei Heyan's words just now clearly put the responsibility on him. There are no secrets in the palace, and this matter will be spread out sooner or later.
After Emperor Yao drank the medicine, rinsed his mouth with water, he half-leaned on the dragon couch and waved her forward.
Si Yiluo stepped forward.
"You are a woman, so it is convenient for me to go to Prince Zhan's Mansion on my behalf and see what the Chang family girl thinks. Don't be too blunt. If she really has thoughts about Prince Yu, please advise her tactfully on my behalf."
Si Yiluo half-knelt and asked, "Your Majesty, please give me a clear explanation."
She is an errand person, so it is inevitable that her thoughts are not as delicate as those of the women in the harem. However, Emperor Yao couldn't believe the concubines in the harem. This time he fell ill. From the queen to the concubines in the harem, they said they came to visit, but in fact they just came to see him. When will he die?
Emperor Yao coughed a few times, and after the coughing subsided, he said: "It's best if you don't have the intention, but if you have the intention... you can send a message to the Lord Protector for me..."
Si Yiluo agreed and immediately left the palace and went to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Before Zhou Zhan finished a set of punches, he heard praises from behind him.
"His Royal Highness, King Zhan, uses this boxing technique to combine hardness and softness. His heart beats in response to his movements. His body is like a dragon. A tiger is crouching and an eagle is flying. It shows that your body is in great condition."
Zhou Zhan dared to box in the yard in broad daylight, which meant that there were no outsiders here. Even her house had eyeliner nails sent from various places. Prince Zhan's house was absolutely clean.
"Master Si." Zhou Zhan looked very good. "Master Si, please come in and let me change my clothes."
As soon as Si Yiluo sat down in the living room, Shen Moran received the letter and came over to kill him.
"You came to Prince Zhan's Mansion so blatantly so early in the morning. Could it be that the emperor gave you a mission?"
Ever since Emperor Yao summoned Si Yiluo alone in the morning, countless pairs of eyes were watching her come out of the palace and go straight to Prince Zhan's Mansion. With her ability, of course she could shake off the tail that was following her, but not only did she not shake off , but instead took these tails into the palace.
What does her whereabouts mean? It shows Emperor Yao's attitude. Emperor Yao immediately stopped seeing other princes when he was ill, and instead asked Si Yiluo to go to Prince Zhan's Mansion...
What does this mean?
Shen Moran felt that Prince Zhan's Mansion was a bit pretentious.
Jiu Er and Chang Ying were guarding the door, and Zhou Zhan quickly changed his clothes and came over.
"The emperor asked his subordinates to ask His Highness whether the Protector of the Kingdom has made an engagement to Miss Chang in the northwest?"
Chang Jinchan had no interest in Zhou Yu, so Si Yiluo didn't need to ask. All this was a trap set up by the three of them. The news from Emperor Yao's tone was that he had a relaxed attitude towards this matter.
There was so much internal fighting among the princes that Chang Jinchan stayed in the capital. No matter which family he married, the Protector's Office could not stay out of the matter. Instead of dragging the Protector into the quagmire of internal fighting, it was better for him to continue to remain neutral.
Shen Moran was obviously relieved.
"Why so sudden?"
According to their plan, they have to wait for the rumors to ferment for some time.
Si Yiluo heard the news that Si Hai had whispered to her when she left the palace just now. Shu Meiren was sentenced to death last night.
Shu Meiren is Zhou Yu's person, maybe Wei Heyan did something to deal with Zhou Yu, and by some combination of circumstances, he helped them a lot.
"Shu Meiren died last night." She paused and then added, "She was given death by poisonous wine. It is said that the poison used was not a poison that can kill people immediately. Shu Meiren wailed in the palace until morning before she died. "
Shen Moran thought about it for a moment and came back to his senses.
"What kind of outrageous thing did Zhou Yu do..."
Shen Moran was in such a good mood that she just had to scream. The aphrodisiac spices used by Shu Mei could only work on men, and the only person she could come into contact with in the palace was Emperor Yao. If Wei Heyan hadn't been waiting in front of Emperor Yao, I'm afraid it would have been... Being kept in the dark.
It is even less possible for others to know.
Zhou Yu's plan was cut in half, and Shen Moran only felt relieved.
"I want to go to the palace and tell my father about this in person." Zhou Zhan told Yinyue, "Go and get uncle's letter."
Although it was ahead of schedule, he had already prepared these things. Chang Jian did not want Chang Jinchan to fall into the quagmire of the capital, and he allowed her to take this trip just to make her give up.
In order to avoid talking about her, Si Yiluo met Chang Jinchan. Unexpectedly, Chang Jinchan didn't care at all about the gossip and rumors outside, and just held her hem reluctantly.
"If I go back, I won't be able to see you. What should I do if I miss you and my cousin?"
Unexpectedly, Chang Jinchan, who had always been carefree, would be so sentimental, but her next sentence took a turn for the worse, "The husband my father found for me will definitely not be as handsome as Mr. Si, nor as good at martial arts as Mr. Si. I remembered a poem - Once upon a time, it was difficult to make water out of the sea. Except Wushan is not a cloud, I..."
Shen Moran covered her lips and smiled softly, and even Si Yiluo couldn't help but smile.
