When Qin Zheng returned to the palace, the servants saluted him one by one.
Qin Zheng strode past. When he arrived outside Lingxiao Pavilion, he saw Mu Qin saluting him and asked, "Where is the princess?"
"To tell you what the prince is saying, the princess is feeling a little uncomfortable and is taking a rest." Mu Qin replied.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Qin Zheng became anxious all of a sudden, and his steps speeded up unconsciously. As he walked, he asked, "Can you please call the doctor?"
"Replying to the prince, the princess said that she probably ate too much hot pot and it was too spicy and she just needed a rest. She didn't ask for a doctor." Mu Qin replied.
When Qin Zheng heard this, his brows furrowed even more. He immediately opened the door and walked into the inner room.
In the inner room, the heavy bed curtains were hooked on both sides by bead curtains. On the bed, Yun Xi was lightly covered with a brocade quilt, lying on her side with her back to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng stepped lightly, then walked to the bedside, stretched out his hand toward Yun Shu's forehead, and asked with concern:
"Aji, are you feeling better now?"
Yun Shu, who had her back to Qin Zheng, stiffened. She did not turn over, but she still replied:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, just take a rest and you'll be fine!"
Qin Zheng's hand that was about to touch her forehead paused, then touched it nonchalantly, and then withdrew his hand:
"I don't have a fever, it's okay. Then you can rest for a while, and I'll go to the study and come back."
"Okay." Qin Zheng turned around, his eyes so dark that they could drip with ink.
…
Yun Ji was locked in the room and no one came back, but Ouyang did nothing else except lock her up.
She first thought about whether to go out from here to find A Zheng. She was worried that A Zheng would fall into Ouyang's trick. But then she felt that A Zheng would definitely be able to see through it, so it would be better to cooperate with him inside and outside.
The sun sets and night falls.
"It's time to eat!" There was a voice outside the door, and then the door was opened, and a woman came in carrying a tray. On the tray were a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of soup and rice.
After the mother-in-law put the food on the table, she turned around and left without having any contact with Yun Shu.
The door was closed again.
Yun Ji walked to the dining table. She took a look at the food, then turned around and looked at the door and window. After making sure no one was prying, she held up the tray and disappeared.
"Did she eat?" After the mother-in-law came to take away the dishes, Ouyang showed a satisfied smile when he saw that there were only a few leftovers left outside.
"Yes." The mother-in-law replied.
"Okay, you can go down." Ouyang waved his hand.
After the mother-in-law left, he looked in the direction of the room where Yun Shu was locked up and murmured to himself:
"No matter how powerful you are, you are just a woman."
It was night, there was no moon, the night sky was pitch black, and the shadows of the trees were dancing, like ghosts.
In a strange place, Yun Ji was completely sleepless. She was thinking of some way to contact A Zheng, so that she could catch Ouyang and the others in one go.
She kept thinking like this until midnight, when she suddenly felt something was wrong outside.
Could it be Ouyang?
She immediately entered the space.
The moment Yun Ji entered the space, Ouyang quietly opened the door and walked towards the bed in the night. However, when he saw that there was no one on the bed, Ouyang was stunned!
However, he quickly reacted.
Did Yun Ji discover something, so he hid it?
"Princess, stop hiding, I know you are still in the house." Ouyang said while searching in the room.
Yun Ji in the space sneered after hearing this. If she can find her, she will lose!
"Princess, you can't escape!" Ouyang said again, but the room was only so big, and he didn't find Yun Shu's figure, which made him frown fiercely.
How could there be no one? Did she run away?
impossible!
Ouyang immediately denied it.
He had people keep this courtyard airtight, how could she escape?
She must still be somewhere in the yard.
"Come here!" Ouyang suddenly shouted loudly.
"Master!" Someone soon appeared at the door.
"Search the room and the yard for me. I want to see where she can hide?" Could it be possible that she disappeared out of thin air?
When they heard that the master meant that the imprisoned woman was missing, the guards were all shocked.
How is it possible? They stayed outside the door without leaving, and the windows were also closed properly.
But they also found that the room was empty!
Is this haunted?
Not daring to delay any longer, they immediately followed their companions and started looking for him in the yard.
The originally dark courtyard was illuminated by torches, but after a search, no trace of Yun Xi was found.
Everyone is confused!
Ouyang was so angry that his face was as dark as the night above his head, and his sinister eyes swept over everyone as if they were poisoned:
"Can any of you tell me what's going on?"
How could a good person just disappear out of thin air?
They didn't even know whether the other party escaped on his own or was rescued.
This is simply a slap in the face!
"Master, forgive me!" All the men knelt on the ground.
"Let's note it down first and then punish him after the matter is over." Ouyang said.
"Thank you, Master." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ouyang waved his hand and dismissed them all.
"Where did the person hide? Or..." Ouyang suddenly thought, could it be that Qin Zheng's side was exposed? Or was there a traitor?
No! These people were brought back from Daxia by him, and they would definitely not betray him.
Could it be...
Ouyang suddenly thought of someone, and then his whole expression changed.
When Ouyang left the house just now, Yun Ji took the opportunity to come out too. While Ouyang's men were searching for her, she had already taken the torch and memorized the layout of the yard.
This place looks like an ordinary civilian courtyard, not big. However, there are quite a few people hiding in the courtyard. It seems that this Ouyang is indeed a spy of Daxia Kingdom.
She became a little worried. She wondered what tricks Ouyang and the others had thought of to deal with A Zheng? Was it, as she guessed, someone disguised as her and approached A Zheng?
Even if A Zheng recognizes it, I'm afraid things won't be simple.
Now that she's gone, I'm afraid Ouyang will go to the Regent's Mansion to see if she has gone back?
Or maybe he is afraid that something unexpected will happen and will implement his plot in advance.
Yun Ji wanted to go back and leave here, and then secretly contact A Zheng to have an internal and external cooperation. But she thought that it was too late now, and there was a curfew in the city, so she had no way to go back.
Otherwise, we should continue to stay in the space and adapt accordingly when the time comes.
"who?"
Just when Yun Ji decided to adapt to the situation, there was a sudden loud shout in the yard. Immediately afterwards, the sound of a sword fight came over.
Listening to the sound of fighting, Yun Ji felt a cold coming out:
