"My dear concubine, are you sure that she was scratched by a cat?" Zhao Yanxun asked with a serious expression.
Lin Jingyu nodded, and then said: "I am sure, I am sure, many people in the house know about this!"
"Besides, Yun'er stays with my concubine all the time, so what...how could she contract that evil disease!"
After nodding, Zhao Yanxun said to Huo An, who was beside him: "Go and say hello to the people in the Bodyguard Department and arrange a separate room for Yun'er. If there are no problems after five days of isolation, let her go as soon as possible!"
Although Zhao Yanxun betrayed Lin Jingyu's face, he still strictly implemented the isolation regulations. System and warmth can be said to coexist.
After hearing this, although he didn't get the result he wanted, he finally improved the conditions for Yun'er, and he only had to wait five days for the person to come back.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Jingyu saluted.
Knowing that she was weak, Zhao Yanxun quickly pulled her back and said, "My beloved, if you can go out as little as possible these days, I will take you back!"
Holding Lin Jingyu's hand, Zhao Yanxun walked to his residence, Feiyuxuan.
In the nearby Yongfu Palace, Xue Baoyun was dressing up in preparation for Zhao Yanxun's arrival.
At this moment, Yuzhu walked in from outside the room and whispered in Xue Baoyun's ear: "Your Majesty, that person from Feiyuxuan has gone to plead with the prince!"
"Oh? When did it happen?" Xue Baoyun turned around and asked.
"Just now, the prince came back from Dongbianmen, and Concubine Yu was waiting outside Yuqiong Garden, and then he bumped into her!"
After nodding, Xue Baoyun continued dressing up, seemingly not caring about it.
Glancing around, Yuzhu lowered his voice and said: "Mother, would you like to take care of your tail..."
Xue Baoyun put down the grate and said calmly: "What to do with the tail? The slave below said that he saw an injury, and the palace is responsible for taking the person... What's the problem with this?"
Yuzhu nodded, but she was still worried, but she didn't say anything more.
The reason for this is because she doesn't understand Xue Baoyun.
Cleaning up Yun'er this time is just a casual move. It's a good thing if it's done, but it doesn't hurt if it's not done.
Strictly speaking, this matter was not directly related to Xue Baoyun, she just gave him a gentle push.
If she did what Yuzhu said and tried to finish it off, that would really leave a flaw.
After a while, I saw a young eunuch coming to the outside of Yongfu Palace with his waist raised, and reported: "To inform the princess, the prince sent a slave to deliver a message, saying that he will not come over at noon today!"
"Oh? What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"This..." The little eunuch looked confused. People like them who were mixed in the harem knew the grudges and entanglements inside.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yuzhu in the room scolded: "Didn't you hear the princess' question?"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xue Baoyun said: "Forget it, step back!"
"Yes..." The little eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saluted and ran away quickly.
Xue Baojun was very calm at the moment, but Yuzhu's eyes were full of worry.
"Empress..."
"I knew that compared to the clueless Concubine Rong, this Concubine Jade was more difficult to deal with!" Xue Baoyun said calmly.
Yuzhu didn't say anything. She knew that Xue Baoyun was angry, and speaking at this time would only cause trouble for herself.

Time passed quickly, and when Zhao Yanxun left Feiyuxuan, the guards had prepared their horses.
The Gongzheng Institute has made several more pairs of armors in the past two days, and now there are more than twenty pairs that can be used for going out.
Today's armor is equivalent to the protective clothing in the previous life. It is safe to wear this thing when going out.
Putting on his armor and taking twenty escorts with him, Zhao Yanxun rode out of the palace.
The person accompanying Zhao Yanxun out of the house this time was Baihu Fangsheng.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Fang Sheng asked.
"Go to Nancheng and have a look!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.
The palace is in the North City, and you have to go through six or seven checkpoints to get to the South City. Under the current situation of the city being closed and under martial law, you have to go through at least a dozen checkpoints.
The palace where the royal palace is located is called Longqianfang, which was named after Taizong of the Jin Dynasty. Prince Yong’s palace occupies most of the square.
The palace was surrounded by ritual and sacrificial buildings. To put it simply, Zhao Yanxun had no real neighbors.
When the officers in charge of martial law saw Zhao Yanxun and his entourage coming out, they immediately moved away the barricades that separated the streets.
Then these people immediately knelt down and paid homage: "Kowtow to the prince!"
This scene made Zhao Yanxun feel complicated.
These people did not come forward for questioning, but allowed themselves to come and go at will. It seems that there may be problems with the implementation of the martial law closure of the city.
When passing by the officers and passing in front of them, Zhao Yanxun reined in the reins.
"No gift..."
After a few people looked at each other, they stood up cautiously, with an attitude that sounded uneasy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Several people stood up and said.
"This time the city is closed under martial law, apart from ordinary people who must abide by it, who else can come and go at will?" Zhao Yanxun asked calmly.
Although these officers were in humble positions, they were all talented people, and some of them understood Zhao Yanxun's purpose.
But so what if you understand? If you answer truthfully, who knows if the prince will get angry.
If you lie... none of them would have the courage.
So after Zhao Yanxun asked the question, the scene went silent, and several officers looked grim and didn't know how to answer.
Forcing these low-level officers was meaningless to Zhao Yanxun, not to mention that Zhao Yanxun had already roughly understood the situation from the expressions of these people.
Then Zhao Yanxun rode away. He wanted to see how powerful Yuanyang's group of powerful people was.
Originally planning to go to Nancheng, Zhao Yanxun deliberately walked around Beicheng a few times and saw the carriages of several nobles.
Zhao Yanxun sent guards to interrogate these people. The main purpose was to scare them.
In this way, Zhao Yanxun was equivalent to letting the powerful officials of Longyou know that he would supervise them.
Regardless of whether it works or not, this is an act that shakes the mountain and shocks the tiger. If these people do it again in the future, he will find a way to deal with it.
After visiting Beicheng, Zhao Yanxun rushed to Nancheng. Nancheng was generally inhabited by poor people, and management was undoubtedly much more difficult.
Sure enough, the further south you go, you can see officers arresting people from time to time.
"Sir, I don't have any rice to cook with. I just went out to buy some food!"
A man was being dragged by a police official and kept begging for mercy.
"Don't you know about the martial law order issued by the governor's office? If you are not allowed to go out, you are not allowed to go out!" The officer who took the person shouted loudly.
From a distance, Zhao Yanxun watched all this silently, wanting to take care of it but being unable to do so, because this was the order he wanted.
Under the current circumstances, there is nothing we can do to overcorrect, and this is also to protect the safety of most people.
As long as the five days are up and there are no new mutations in the city, Yuanyang City can be temporarily unsealed, but only within the city.
"Let's go and take a look at the city wall!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
Their team was still flowing smoothly, and they were no different from the Yuanyang dignitaries.
Soon, they arrived at the south gate of Yuanyang, named Yongding Gate.
As a provincial capital, Yuanyangfu has tall walls.
The base of the city wall is nearly three feet wide, the wall is more than one foot wide, and the height of the city wall is also about two feet.
In addition to the city walls, there are urns built at each gate, and there is a moat dozens of meters wide on the outside. It can be said to be a first-class fortified city.
But when Zhao Yanxun quietly came outside Yongding Gate, what he saw in front of him made his face suddenly fall.
