According to the rumors, the Chu Clan was already in a state of turmoil. However, the mansion did not seem like it. The servants were rather calm. Seeing Yang Xi coming, the maid in the black haired and red dress led the way and brought him all the way to the Palace. In the backyard, there was a Jade Pool and a pond full of Golden Carp.

When he sat across from him, he saw that there was an old book on the table, which Yang Xi couldn't help but take a glance at. Seeing that it was the Moon and Wind Treasure Mirror, he immediately lost it, and black lines appeared on his forehead.

At this time, how could he be in such a good mood? It could be said that she had underestimated him.

Yun Xi instructed the Sword Spirit Lord standing beside him to serve him tea. The young lady with a face as white as the moon walked up to prepare the tea tray.

He probably already had a plan in mind. Yang Xi thought like this as he raised his teacup and took a sip. He almost vomited it out.

Chu Yunxi's tea was so fucking bitter.

Yun Xi's face was bland, without any visible expression. He casually picked up the cup of tea in front of him, leisurely drank it all in one go, and said, "The tea concocted from the lotus heart of the balsam pear. "It would be better if we add some more Yellow Lian. I fear that King Jing might not be used to drinking it, so I won't add any more."

"Isn't this medicinal tea?" Yang Xi looked at the bright green and clear tea cup in front of him with a face at a loss.

Chu Yunxi shook her head slightly, "A few days ago, I was still drinking medicine and it was taboo to even drink tea or alcohol. However, it's useless. With all these worries, no matter how hard I try to take care of it, I probably won't be able to live for long.

"Why must Senior Gongzi be so patient? As of now, half of the capital's three great camps are in the hands of the Senior Gongzi. With the military power of the Senior Gongzi in their hands, they might be able to fight evenly with the Prince. "

"Everyone in the capital is guessing, will I make trouble for Yun Zhao and destroy the Chu Clan's hundred years of foundation? Is the Jing King also waiting for the result?"

"Little Wang doesn't have that kind of thought. He only thought that Yun Zhao had come from the Grand Princess Huaiye after all. royal father had always doted on her, moreover, this was a war for the country. If the Senior Gongzi disregards the prince and uses his army, the Son of Heaven will blame him in the future. I believe he should have a way to explain himself. "

However, it has already been seven days since then, and the Son of Heaven said he was too sick to be disturbed by others. Yun Qing is the young master of my Chu Family, and he has waited arduously for seven days, yet he has not even managed to get a single word from His Majesty. Isn't that illogical? "

"This... I believe royal father has other plans. "

"Heaven's will is unpredictable. The prince and his majesty were brothers, they would probably think of the same thing. "No, that's not it. Just wait for me to decide."

"What are Senior Gongzi's plans?"

With that question, Yun Xi's face darkened. He sighed and said, "Under the cover of the nest, there is a perfect egg. I am someone who is on the verge of death. So what if I am beheaded by the title of 'Conspiracy'? However, considering his sister-in-law's age, he could not act rashly. Other than the three main camps of the capital, all that could be used had already been sent to the southern seedling, to be driven by Yun Zhao. If he lost this battle, Yun Zhao's life would be in danger, and the Chu Family would be severely injured. If I used the army, the Chu Clan would be charged with treason, and even if there were nine families, it would be hard for Yun Zhao to protect them. The severity is easy to choose, but the pain is only pain in my heart. "

In Wangjing's palace, the afternoon sun was slightly warm. Chu Guifei sat under the window with no makeup on her face. She lightly brushed a few times with her eyelashes, then instructed the maid beside her to close the makeup case.

She was an old woman, and for the past few years she had been dressed more and more lazily. Even in front of the emperor, she had merely pulled back her hair in a perfunctory manner. He was already a person who had left the palace. Even though his title was the same as the reverend, there was no need to pay attention to his makeup.

He was getting older and older, but his beauty didn't fade at all. He didn't wear makeup over the years, and his skin was no longer tender. However, after its color faded, it had a different flavor to it. Even after so many years, his eyes were still as clear as a clear stream in the mountains. When she was young, her appearance was sharp and distinct. Over these years, the lines of her facial features had become slightly more rounded, making her look even more beautiful and magnificent.

How could one say that he was old? Chu Guifei was in her prime now, and even the prince's wife, Yun Ping, who was known as the number one beauty in the imperial city, could not compare to him. It was no wonder that His Majesty would not forget.

Seeing that she did not have the intention to continue maintaining her composure, matron Linglong, who was behind her, hesitantly walked over.

"Niangniang, I heard that the fifth young master is still waiting outside the palace these few days. His Majesty isn't summoning anyone yet. There must be something urgent?" Why don't you send a message for Young Master to come in and meet us? "

Chu Guifei frowned slightly.

"You know the rules. His Majesty has been ill for the past few days and has not seen any foreign officials." No one in the palace dared to act rashly. It would be impolite of me to call him in. "

"The Empress might as well ask." Linglong was getting anxious. Her sister, Emerald, was originally one of the servants by Yun Qing's side. Yun Qing was a foreign official who had not received any orders to enter the palace. But Linglong and Jadeite had already met and knew that the situation was urgent and could not be delayed. However, she was also clear of Chu Guifei's personality. This imperial concubine had cultivated for many years and had completely destroyed all ties with the world. His Majesty didn't decline occasionally, but the matters of the imperial court and the inner palace were never part of his plans for his own family. If he wasn't really at a loss for words, he wouldn't have thought of looking for her.

It was at this time that the Hidden Dragon Rest's overseer sent word that Her Majesty had awoken and wanted to see the imperial concubine. Chu Guifei did not plan to delay them, so she casually took a coat and put it on, and headed towards Hidden Dragon Rest, leaving Hu Po at the same place, anxious and helpless.

When he arrived at Hidden Dragon Rest, he saw the emperor leaning on the bed. He had just woken up, and his expression was still a little drowsy. The Imperial Concubine sat down to one side and added some fragrance to the golden silk longan. The Son of Heaven raised her head slightly and said, "Fengyi, you're here."

The Chu Guifei's maiden name was Feng Yi, and their family name was Feng Yi. Aside from the Chu Guifei s in the palace, most of the Chu Family's phoenixes were already dead. Few people mentioned this name anymore.

The imperial concubine nodded slightly before asking, "Has His Majesty been getting better recently?"

The Son of Heaven snorted lightly, and said, "I came to the Wangjing's side because I wanted to recuperate. Who would have thought that troubles would come knocking on my door one after another. There was no place to hide. I don't even want to go back to the apocalypse anymore. "

"Did Yun Zhao cause trouble again?" That child has always followed her father and is always impatient. As an elder, His Majesty can only be more tolerant. "

"Not really."

Originally, it was because he heard that the Imperial Consort Ye was serving in the palace, so he had a conflict with the Empress. Queen Ran and Queen Ran were proud of their status and didn't want to argue with her. When they were arguing, the Sixth Princess just happened to be staying at the Empress's Phoenix Chiming Palace at night and couldn't watch any longer. She spoke a few words on behalf of the Empress before being slapped by the Imperial Consort Ye.

The cause of this matter might not be that big of a deal. Only, the Sixth Princess' mother, Madam Ji, had passed away early on. She was originally a helpless person in the palace, so no matter what, she couldn't let her suffer any grievances. The Empress was also angry, and ordered the palace maid to take the Imperial Consort Ye back to the Liuhua Hall to reflect on the situation. Yet, the Imperial Consort Ye still had this kind of ability, to find someone to spread the news to the Ning Wang, and make the Ning Wang make a ruckus again, saying that the Phoenix took advantage of the absence of the Son of Heaven to persecute the Imperial Concubine.
