"Your Majesty, I don't want any conditions. I just can't bear the Emperor being deceived by His Highness the Fifth. You are his father! What happened to him donating some blood for you? Isn't that what he should do?" Lan Xiangsi said excitedly.
.
The emperor's chest rose and fell violently, and he guessed a possibility. However, he wanted to hear Lan Xiangsi say it, so as to confirm whether his guess was correct.
If it was right, he would never let go of that scoundrel Yuwen Fengxing so easily!
"Say it!" he said.
"Your Majesty, as far as Xiangsi knows, since the Emperor stopped calling His Highness the Fifth Prince into the palace, the blood he donated to the Emperor is no longer his."
"Whose is that?" The emperor was so angry that his sallow face had turned into the color of pig liver.
"It's someone else's."
"Who are the others?"
"There are guards, servants and beggars, and there are even chickens and dogs..."
"Presumptuous, presumptuous!" When Yu Wenyuan heard that the blood used as medicine for him was of all kinds, including some from animals, he rolled his eyes in anger and fainted."
Lan Xiangsi stood in the distance without shouting. After she knew the identity of the person in front of her, she probably ran away without a trace. At this time, her greatest hope was that Yu Wenyuan would die in front of her immediately.
The carved wooden door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Xiao Xiangzi ran in. He didn't hear the emperor speak for a long time outside. Because he was worried, he hurried in to check. When he found that the emperor had fainted, he immediately patted his chest and shouted: "
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up."
Seeing that the emperor did not respond, he loudly shouted to the outside: "Come quickly, go find Zhang Xiang!"
Yu Wenyuan suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
"Don't go..." He grabbed Xiao Xiangzi's wrist and stopped him.
"Yes, your Majesty, I won't let them go." Xiao Xiangzi patted Yu Wenyuan's chest to calm down. After he took a breath, he turned back and angrily scolded Lan Xiangsi.
"Concubine Lan, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the emperor? How dare you make the emperor so angry? I think you don't want your head anymore!"
Lan Xiangsi was stunned. What did she say? She was just telling Yu Wenyuan the truth. What crime was she guilty of? She looked at the emperor timidly, as if she had been frightened.
Instead, Yu Wenyuan said to Xiao Xiangzi: "It's none of Concubine Lan's business. Xiao Xiangzi, you go down first. I have a few more words that I want to say to Concubine Lan!"
Xiao Xiangzi bowed and stepped back.
Lan Xiangsi looked at Yu Wenyuan and saw that he was breathing hard. Suddenly he stopped and looked over.
"Lan Xiangsi, I give you a task, do you dare to take it?"
"Your Majesty, Xiangsi is just a woman, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold a big position." Lan Xiangsi said.
"This matter is very simple. I want you to keep an eye on the fifth prince for me every day to see the blood really drawn out of his body. Don't worry, I will send someone to protect you and not put you in danger!"
"Your Majesty, Xiangsi doesn't dare to agree to this matter. Xiangsi is just a concubine in the fifth prince's house, and no one in the house can listen to me. And if I dare to do this, Concubine Xue will probably be the first one not to agree.
To be honest, Xiangsi has never seen the fifth prince since she passed."
In the last sentence, she lied.
She did it deliberately to make the emperor dissatisfied with Concubine Xue.
Little did she know that the emperor had long been dissatisfied with Concubine Xue. After he sent Concubine Xue to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Concubine Xue had not persuaded the Fifth Prince for so long, and no useful news had been sent back.
He scowled and said angrily: "I have another idea. Now that I know about it, if there is any movement from the fifth prince in the future, you must inform me in time."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Xiangsi agreed.
Early the next morning.
The palace guards came to the fifth prince to collect his blood. What was different from the past was that this time the guards had to watch him to bleed.
…
Apricot bamboo forest.
Jiang Li suddenly told Yun Muzhou that Yinhu had sent him a message, saying that the three loyal ministers had arrived in the capital. He asked the eldest lady if she would like to meet him.
"I'll find time to meet them in the next few days," Yun Muzhou said.
Suddenly Fei Xuan's voice came from outside: "Chanyi, get out of the way. I want to see your eldest lady. I have something important to do."
"Jianli, please ask Chanyi to let Fei Xuan in," she said.
Soon, Fei Xuan stood in front of Yun Muzhou. After entering the room, he closed the door directly.
"You said you have something to do with me?" she asked.
When she saw this man again, what happened in the bathtub that night popped up in her mind again.
Her face felt so hot.
"I found out that the guard who sent you back that night was someone else pretending to be someone else. The guard himself had been killed long ago. And..." He paused and seemed to be hesitating.
"What else? Why didn't you say anything?" Yun Muzhou asked him.
"Also, I found out that someone is pretending to be the prince. I don't know if I should tell you at the moment. I suspect that someone is trying to spread suspicion."
Yun Muzhou's eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that Yuwen Fengning that night was fake?
is it possible?
Who is so bold as to impersonate the current Crown Prince?
He is said to be a prince, but he supervises the country as a prince, which is no different from the emperor. As long as the emperor dies, he can legitimately ascend the throne.
Therefore, she felt that the idea of someone pretending to be someone was not very reliable.
"What do you think?" she asked Fei Xuan.
Fei Xuan frowned: "I am more inclined to think that someone is confusing the situation. Don't worry, the truth will be revealed soon."
"Yeah." Yun Muzhou nodded.
Fei Xuan looked at her with hidden concern in his eyes: "Yun Muzhou, who did you meet that night?"
"Yuwen Fengning!" Yun Muzhou recalled the scene that night when he pulled off the mask from the man's face. The person she saw was definitely Yuwen Fengning, even though it was only a quick glance.
Could it be fake?
"What did he tell you?" he asked again.
Facing Fei Xuan, Yun Muzhou didn't want to hide anything from him. He directly told him everything that happened after he fell into the opponent's hands. After hearing this, Fei Xuan frowned even deeper.
He said: "This also explains why the person you saw is Yuwen Fengning. Either he is himself, or someone is pretending to be him."
"Who is so bold as to pretend to be the crown prince of a country?" Yun Muzhou asked back.
"Yes, I think so too." Fei Xuan grinned.
"Yun Muzhou, I have asked Jiuxie to take Yu Xiaoyu to leave the capital of Zhou Dynasty within three days. I will marry them tomorrow."
Yun Muzhou: "..."
This speed is faster than riding a horse.
But, does the heroine agree? Yun Muzhou saw Yu Xiaoyu's attitude towards Fei Xuan that night with her own eyes. She didn't believe that she would marry Jiuxie willingly or even beat her to death.
"Why are you telling me about her affairs?" Her eyes wandered for a moment, not daring to look at him.
"Didn't you say that she is my childhood sweetheart? When we get married, she will be Jiuxie's woman and will have nothing to do with me." Fei Xuan looked at her affectionately, as if he wanted to melt her into his gaze.
