Murong Xi knew that Feng Mingye was not willing to appear in the morning court even if he was worried. Because he hoped that Ye Tianmo would no longer rely on him. Feng Mingye recognized Ye Tianmo's ability, but the ministers were bewitched by Lord Shangshu.
"So, you plan to help Ye Tianmo in the dark from now on?" Murong Xi asked.
"Well, after he ascends the throne, I won't have to work so hard." Feng Mingye said.
"After Ye Tianmo succeeds to the throne, you can let your father and Imperial Concubine Yun go to Xuanmen Villa." Murong Xi said with a smile.
Feng Mingye kissed Murong Xi's forehead gently, then closed her eyes and hugged Murong Xi tightly with her arms.
"Xier, sleep a little longer."
Murong Xi followed Feng Mingye's voice and closed his eyes. The two of them slept until three o'clock in the morning, then got up to wash up and change clothes.
"Master, His Highness King Mo is here." Ye Feng said to Feng Mingye in a low voice.
"Ye Tianmo came here right after court?" Murong Xi asked doubtfully.
"Did something happen in the morning?" Feng Mingye said with confusion.
"Didn't you make all the arrangements before? Why would something happen again?" Murong Xi asked.
Feng Mingye planned to go to Ye Tianmo with doubts, but she didn't expect to be pulled back by Murong Xi.
"Xi'er?" Feng Mingye asked.
"Are you planning to go there alone?" Murong Xi said.
Feng Mingye naturally knew that Murong Xi wanted to go with him, but he really didn't want Murong Xi to have to worry about it, so he said to her: "The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself. Leave these things to me."
How could Murong Xi not know that Feng Mingye rejected her because she felt sorry for her and blamed him for everything. When handling the food funds for disaster relief, Feng Mingye often returned to the palace in the middle of the night. She knew
Feng Mingye has already worked very hard, how can he leave everything to him?
What's more, Ye Tianmo suddenly arrived at this time, something important must have happened. Feng Mingye was too tired during this period, and she was worried that Feng Mingye wouldn't be able to cope.
Murong Xi planned to follow Feng Mingye to see Ye Tianmo, so he looked at Feng Mingye without blinking. Feng Mingye was a little helpless because he really couldn't refuse Murong Xi like this. He had no choice but to take him with him
Went to the front hall with her.
Murong Xi smiled slightly, hugged Feng Mingye's arm, and walked together to the king's front hall.
When they arrived at the front hall, Feng Mingye said to Ye Tianmo: "Why are you here if you don't handle things in the palace?"
Ye Tianmo finally saw Feng Mingye and said anxiously: "At the morning court today, half of the ministers did not come, and those selected by the imperial examination were also in trouble. What should we do next?
"
Feng Mingye frowned and said, "What happened to those scholars?"
The people they screen out must be trustworthy. Besides, those people know how to behave and know not to cause trouble at this time, so how could anything happen?
"A few people suddenly fell ill, and a few were found early this morning..." After Ye Tianmo finished speaking, he glanced at Murong Xi.
Feng Mingye asked Ye Tianmo to continue, so Ye Tianmo said: "I found them in Yihong Building... Because they had no money, they were beaten half to death and reported it to the official. They were taken away by the official and thrown into the prison.
"
Feng Mingye was silent, and Murong Xi said: "It seems that your plan has failed. Those scholars must have been plotted, otherwise they would not have done such a thing at such a critical moment."
"Could it be that they were drugged?" Ye Tianmo asked.
Murong Xi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this. Maybe I was deceived."
"What should we do?" Ye Tianmo asked.
Feng Mingye thought for a moment and said, "Xi'er, you stay in the mansion, while Tianmo and I go to Shuntian Mansion."
"You take people directly to Hades' Mansion, at least we have to find out whether they have been poisoned." Murong Xi said.
After Feng Mingye hesitated for a moment, she nodded and agreed to Murong Xi's suggestion.
He and Ye Tianmo hurried out and came to Shuntian Mansion. Lord Sun of Shuntian Mansion had never seen such a big battle before. Normally not a single prince would show up, but now two of them came.
"Wei Chen has met His Highness Pluto and His Highness King Mo." Shuntian Prefecture Yin greeted respectfully.
"I heard that your government officials arrested a few scholars and put them in jail early this morning. Is this true?" Ye Tianmo asked.
"His Royal Highness King Mo, this is indeed the case. But..." Mr. Sun raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Mingye and did not continue.
"It's just nothing, you made it clear." Ye Tianmo said impatiently.
Master Sun said in a low voice: "The Yihong Building was very lively this morning, and many people gathered around the gate. When the yamen patrolling the streets were about to maintain order, they realized that it was these scholars who stayed at the Yihong Building last night.
After getting up early this morning, they had no money at all. After being beaten up, the thugs from Yihonglou threw them outside the gate. But the madam didn't seem to want to let them go, so he asked the yamen to take them away.
return."
Ye Tianmo looked at Feng Mingye, waiting for Feng Mingye to make up his mind. Feng Mingye looked at Mr. Sun and said, "So that's it. If that's the case, then I want to take these scholars away.
You ask the yamen to bring them out."
Master Sun did not expect that Feng Mingye and Murong Xi appeared in Shuntian Mansion today because of these scholars. He said: "Your Highness, these scholars do not have money to pay their bills, and they are still being beaten unconscious."
"You mean you won't let him go?" Feng Mingye asked.
Master Sun naturally did not dare to offend Feng Mingye, so he said tremblingly: "Return to His Highness Pluto. It's not that the ministers are unwilling, but that they owe money to others. Isn't it not good to be released so soon?"
Feng Mingye raised her lips softly and said leisurely to Lord Sun: "I asked you to let him go, don't you understand?"
Seeing that Feng Mingye was a little angry, Mr. Sun fell to his knees and said to Feng Mingye: "Wei Chen understands, let's go and bring these people here."
Mr. Sun called the arrester, and after giving an explanation, only a quarter of an hour later, several scholars were carried to the backyard.
Feng Mingye looked at the three unconscious scholars and said to Master Sun, "Master Sun, have these three scholars started to behave like this since they entered the prison?"
Mr. Sun replied: "No, they were already unconscious at the gate of Yihongyuan. I originally thought that if they were thrown into the prison to sober up, they would wake up soon."
After Feng Mingye and Ye Tianmo looked at each other, Feng Mingye made a gesture in the air, and Ye Feng and others suddenly appeared and took the scholars back to Hades' Mansion.
"Master Sun, you must know that I have many ways to take away these scholars. I just don't want to embarrass you, do you understand?" Feng Mingye said coldly.
"Yes, Wei Chen understands." Master Sun said.
"Yes." After Feng Mingye responded, he gave Ye Tianmo a wink, and the two of them left Shuntian Mansion.
Lord Sun waited until Feng Mingye left, then sat down on the chair. The master then followed in. Seeing Lord Sun drinking tea, he asked someone to bring another pot of tea.
"Sir, are you okay?" the master asked.
"It's okay, it's just that these two princes seem to know something." Lord Sun said.
"Could it be that..." Master asked.
"Well, your guess is correct. However, we must find a way to notify him as soon as possible." Master Sun said.
"Sir, if we go there rashly at this time, it will be easy to be discovered. I think these two princes didn't find anything. It's because you are nervous. I believe they can't find any traces on those people." Master.
said.
"Then I'm relieved, but I didn't expect them to get the news so quickly." Master Sun asked in confusion.
"Is there something wrong with our people?" Master asked.
"How could they betray me? I suspect there is something wrong with the people over there." Mr. Sun continued.
"Is he lying to us?" Master asked.
"Probably not." Master Sun said.
After Feng Mingye and Ye Tianmo returned to the palace, they met Bai Lichen in the front hall. Feng Mingye didn't even think about it, and took Bai Lichen to the side courtyard to diagnose the pulses of the scholars.
"Aye, are these three people asleep?" Bailichen asked doubtfully.
After diagnosing the pulses, he found that the pulses of these scholars were too normal. As a normal person, he doubted whether they had been tampered with.
"Of course not, it's just that I haven't woken up from yesterday until now." Feng Mingye said.
"This pulse condition is not right at all. It is really normal. However, no problem can be diagnosed." Bai Lichen said anxiously.
"Ye Feng, invite your mistress here." Feng Mingye said to Ye Feng.
"Yes." Ye Feng responded and then went to the main courtyard.
In fact, Murong Xi had been waiting in the outer room for a long time. After Ye Feng stood outside and finished talking, Murong Xi followed Ye Feng to the side courtyard.
After Murong Xi entered, she checked the pulses of these scholars. She frowned slightly, feeling the same as Bai Lichen. Murong Xi calmed down, closed her eyes slightly, and checked the pulses of these scholars again.
Because he was careful when diagnosing the pulse this time, Murong Xi finally discovered the problem. There was still no change in the pulses of several scholars, but after careful auscultation, it was discovered that the scholars had been infected with poisonous insects. The sound was caused by poisonous insects.
The sound that devoured the scholar's internal organs would have killed these scholars if it had been discovered later.
"Were they beaten?" Murong Xi found that there were different scars on the scholar's body and face.
"Shuntian Fuyin said that they were beaten up by Yihongyuan's thugs. I don't think there is a good part on their bodies." Feng Mingye said.
Murong Xi shook his head. The wounds were obviously not caused at the same time. If the thugs were not lying, they had been beaten before. Especially the wounds on their heads, although they were very light and not broken, they could still feel their pain.
The back of the head was injured.
"These scholars had already been injured before entering Yihongyuan." Murong Xi explained.
"You mean to say that several scholars were beaten unconscious before they went to Yihongyuan?" Feng Mingye asked.
"It should be, but not all of it. Because there are worms on her body." Murong Xi said.
"Is it contagious?" Feng Mingye asked anxiously.
"Of course not, but the purpose of knocking out these scholars seems to be to make them stay in Yihongyuan longer. It seems that Lord Shangshu has made preparations." Murong Xi said.
"When will they wake up?" Feng Mingye asked.
Murong Xi did not speak, but took out a medicine bottle, poured a pill from it, and stuffed it into the mouths of several scholars. The pill melted in the mouth, and it would be effective quickly without the need for chewing.
