522 The Great Change
Ye Xinyi immediately understood, "So, even if we can't get the Gu King in the end, as long as Lan Su'er is in hand, it should be enough to ensure that you are safe for the time being?"
"Although she is insidious and cunning, it should not be difficult for us to take her down. By then, I have hundreds of ways to force her to surrender." Chen Yueqi's eyes were half-closed, and there were starry smiles in his eyes. Obviously, this discovery made him very happy today.
Ye Xinyi smiled, but then sighed again the next moment.
Chen Yue was puzzled and said, "What's wrong with this?"
"It's just a pity." Ye Xinyi sighed, raised his hand and put Chen Yue's arm on, rubbed his cheeks gently, and the kitten acted like a coquettish, "What a pity, I can't take her out of her body."
Not only can I not be too tired, I also have to protect her, I cannot let her die or become disabled...
It was a pity that she said, but her eyes were stained with smiles and hope.
No wonder there are no stars or moon tonight. I am afraid of coming out to compete with it?
Chen Yue looked at her and thought, his eyes were full of doting, and he raised his hand and gently scraped the tip of her nose.
As for Lan Ruyi's affairs, Chen Yue and Ye Xinyi did not discuss it, but they both tacitly chose not to do this and did not mention a word to Xia Yanfeng.
There are some things that cannot be interfered with even the best relationship.
On this day, Xia Yanfeng hurried from outside with a letter with a bad expression.
Chen Yue and Ye Xinyi originally thought there was something wrong in Shu, but who knew that this letter came from the capital.
Although they were not in the capital, the foundation of Baigui Tower for so many years is still there, and they did not fail to operate because they were missing. Moreover, before leaving Beijing, Chen Yue arranged everything that should be arranged.
However, they were far away in Nanyue, and the message was transmitted a little slower, so they realized today that the sky in the capital had changed.
"Your Majesty ordered King Ning to be appointed as the crown prince?" Ye Xinyi was so shocked that he even changed his voice.
The letter said that Emperor Ganhe was angry and anxious because of the death of the Sui King before, and the prince usurped the throne and seized power, which hurt his vitality and then became ill.
There was a big chaos in the capital. At that time, King Ning had just returned from Jiangnan's disaster relief and rushed back to the capital without stopping, and then fought against the rioters several times. The King of ** made up the trouble and the civil strife was finally settled.
His Majesty was probably heartbroken by his two sons, but instead he felt that the brother of Ning Wang was more reliable. He actually surpassed his only remaining son and made the position of crown prince fall on Ning Wang's head.
Ye Xinyi thought it was impossible. Emperor Gan He would be someone who would rather benefit his brother but betray his son? No, right?
No matter how you look at this, it is all strange.
Chen Yue and Xia Yanfeng naturally felt strange.
However, Chen Yue raised his lacquer eyes lightly, and a faint light flashed in his eyes, "Is there no news from Eunuch Zhang?"
Eunuch Zhang, Zhang Jili.
Speaking of which, Zhang Jili and Gu Huan have a relationship, but Ye Xinyi can't remember it at all.
It was because of this that Chen Yue had an intersection with Zhang Jili, and Chen Yue saved his life.
Although Zhang Jili is a eunuch, he is a person who values love and friendship in his heart. Over the years, he has been secretly helping Chen Yue.
Zhang Jili has a grudge with Feng Jixian, but Feng Jixian is too powerful. How easy is Zhang Jili to seek revenge on him?
Fortunately, he is a calm and conscious person. He is the most wise man who takes revenge and is not too late for ten years. He has been dormant for many years. In front of Feng Jixian, he was obediently like a dog, step by step, slowly climbing to the position of the second-in-commander of the Sili Supervision.
Then when Feng Jixian was dozing, he looked for an opportunity and gave him a fatal blow.
After that, he completely replaced Feng Jixian and became the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor who was the most trustworthy around Emperor Gan He. Because he voluntarily resigned from the position of governor of the East Factory, he expressed his willingness to serve Emperor Gan He, which made Emperor Gan He feel more and more that he was different from Feng Jixian, and he was not greedy for power and relied on him even more on trust.
Especially after they left the capital, what happened one after another made Emperor Gan He full of suspicion about the people around him, but he still trusted Zhang Jili.
Zhang Jili is a confidant around Gan Hedi, and he should know the real inside story.
Xia Yanfeng shook his head, "No. He said he had not contacted Eunuch Zhang for a long time."
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with this. Even if Emperor Gan really changed his sex, wouldn't he have a queen? She even lost two sons, but there is one. Can she watch and miss the throne again? But she is so quiet that she doesn't make any noise?"
"I heard that the queen has been confined to the prince because of the matter, and now the Feng Seal is handed over to the Xianfei Concubine for a while."
"Concubine Xian?" Ye Xinyi frowned and searched in his memory, but he had no memory of this person at all. "Shouldn't it be Concubine Xie?"
In addition to Empress Chen, the highest-ranking concubine in the palace is Concubine Xie, who has favor and support from her parents. The queen is confined to the phoenix seal and she should be the most suitable candidate. How could she pass over her and choose a virtuous concubine who she has no impression of?
"Concubine Xie has been ill since Princess Zhaoning got married. Now she stays in the palace most of the time and rarely asks about it."
Zhaoning knew that Ye Xinyi was married, just over two months ago, when they were still in Chengdu.
It's a strange thing to say. The princess can't be careless when she gets married. From the time of getting engaged, she will do it all in a comprehensive manner, and it will take half a year, even for a whole year.
But Zhaoning got married in a hurry after only half a year after making a marriage. It was said that Concubine Xie was in poor health. She was afraid that something would happen, so she urged her to keep everything simple and finish the gift as soon as possible.
Ye Xinyi and Chen Yue said in private that this disease should be just the reason for Concubine Xie. It was just because of Zhaoning's marriage and the troublesome autumn, she was afraid that she would have many dreams at night, so she used this to marry Zhaoning as soon as possible.
But now, is it true that I am sick? Of course... it may not be true...
Chen Yue and Ye Xinyi looked at each other. Concubine Xie was born in a family and had extraordinary knowledge. Maybe she had noticed something wrong. She called her sick just to keep herself away from the vortex for the time being, or... she couldn't help herself?
The more Ye Xinyi thought about it, the cooler his heart became. In just half a year, why did they feel like a huge change in their lives?
The few of them were silent for a moment. Chen Yue raised his hand and gently stroked his nose with his fingers. This was his usual action when he pondered. Ye Xinyi and Xia Yanfeng knew it, so they just calmed their breath and stood aside, not daring to disturb him.
After a long time, Chen Yue seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly flicked his fingers, but his eyes shining. "Scholar, let us find a way to contact Eunuch Zhang. If it fails, we must also find a way to confirm the situation of Your Majesty. For example, did he perform differently when he went to court, or did he need to look at someone's face?"
