Chapter 100: Knowing the conspiracy and responding to it
It’s getting late.
The palace door is about to be locked.
The shouts for money and food came from all directions, one after another, showing the desolation.
As soon as the palace gate is closed and twilight falls, the palace city seems like a squatting giant beast, deep and weird, solemn and deadly...
In the east aisle of Furong Palace, inside a small door, Xue Hengzhao and Yu Guming stood opposite each other.
After only one winter and spring, Yu Guming seemed to be taller and his face became more angular.
He is really a rare handsome man, with clear mind and straight bones.
But I am never proud of it, and I don’t have any dandy habits.
Yu Guming hasn't seen Xue Hengzhao for a while. She hasn't seen her since she entered Furong Palace.
The torment of lovesickness is heartbreaking and corrodes the bones, but only one person knows it well, and it would be hypocritical to tell others.
Looking at Xue Hengzhao from his eyes, he is naturally good at everything.
Especially when I found that she seemed to have gained a little weight, I was even more pleased.
Xue Hengzhao said he was going to Furong Palace, and Yu Guming was very happy to do so.
Because Concubine Fu was kind and generous, and he had a very good relationship with the fifth prince.
Xue Hengzhao goes there and doesn’t have to worry about being treated harshly.
When push comes to shove, I can speak for myself.
"Are you... all right?" In the days since Yu Guming had not seen Xue Hengzhao, there were so many emotions and words swirling in his heart.
I don’t know how many times I have copied a book of three hundred poems.
When they met, they could only squeeze out these three simple words.
Xue Hengzhao nodded in response. Her brows were bright and her face was charming. Even though she had no expression, she was charming.
Asked Yu Guming: "Your Majesty, why did you call me here?"
She knew that Yu Guming knew that even if he wanted to see her, he would not call her out for no reason.
There must be something important.
"Yeah." Yu Guming sighed inwardly at Xue Hengzhao's intelligence and took out an uncovered letter from his arms.
It was written in his own handwriting. Because he was not articulate enough, he could only write what he wanted to say on paper, trying not to waste time.
When Xue Heng took a look at the letter, he realized that it was Yu Guming's two personal followers who had discovered that Jin Yu'e and Yao Wanyi had once again set a trap to kill him.
Lu Kaishan disguised himself as a woman and got into the juggling troupe. In just a short time, he had a fierce fight with the dwarf leader.
The dwarf was not only greedy for his coquettishness, but also heard that he had considerable wealth, so he wanted to have both wealth and wealth.
I made an agreement with him to leave together after the business in the capital is finished.
Lu Kaishan hung out with him for a few days and found out their details.
They trained a macaque, trying to find an opportunity for it to bite off Xue Hengzhao's neck.
Because of Yao Wanyi's relationship, it is not difficult to get this macaque into the palace.
There was also a precedent for the palace to invite opera troupes, juggling troupes, musicians and performers from outside to perform in the palace.
When something goes wrong, firstly, it can be blamed on the macaque's sudden bestiality. Secondly, Xue Hengzhao is just a humble little palace maid. As long as someone comes forward to handle the funeral for her, the matter will be settled.
It's useless to pursue the matter. In this palace, one thing is always better than one thing less.
As for the people who play tricks, they will naturally be punished according to the official order, but because Yao Wanyi is protecting them, nothing major will happen after all.
Lu Kaishan was secretly surprised when he learned of their conspiracy. In order not to alert others, Lu Kaishan did not leave, but continued to hang out with this group of people.
I just found an opportunity to tell Lao Jin what I had found out.
Lao Jin figured out the cause and effect, and told Yu Guming exactly what happened.
When Yu Guming heard this, he responded immediately and immediately arrested all the members of the juggling team.
Lao Jin stopped him and said that it would be easy to catch those people.
But after doing this, even if the matter fails, it will not stop Yao Wanyi from harming Xue Hengzhao.
Anyway, fortunately, now that we know about this matter, we can make long-term plans and handle things more comprehensively.
Yu Guming knew what Lao Jin said was right, he himself would be in trouble if he cared.
Lao Jin added that after hearing what the prince said about what happened in the palace last time, Miss Xue was a very smart person.
You might as well go to the palace and tell her about this and see if she has any good ideas.
Anyway, she must know this matter, and she can’t hide it.
So Yu Guming came to find Xue Hengzhao.
"Your Majesty, since that incident, have you asked your people to keep an eye on Lord Yao?" Xue Hengzhao asked this question first after reading the letter.
"It's all... because of me." Yu Guming lowered his head, "How could I, how could I be careless."
No one knows how scared Yu Guming was about the incident between Jin Yu'e and the guards last time.
He couldn't even sleep for several nights.
If Xue Hengzhao is not smart enough, or if she relaxes her vigilance a little bit...
Yu Guming didn't dare to think about it anymore, he just felt cold all over.
He didn't know if Yao Wanyi would attack Xue Hengzhao again, so he could only do his best to guard against it, just in case.
"Your Majesty, you have done a good job in this matter. Now that you know their methods, it is not difficult to come up with countermeasures." Xue Hengzhao looked relaxed, not at all like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Countermeasures? You already have... Do you have any countermeasures?" Yu Guming asked anxiously.
He hadn't thought about how to solve it, but after thinking about it, he just arrested the juggler, confronted Yao Wanyi in person, or simply sued the emperor.
But in this way, Xue Hengzhao will be pushed out into the open.
No one would care about the life or death of a little palace maid, but would think that she is a disaster.
In the same way, no matter how cruel Yao Wanyi is, she will not be truly punished for this matter.
After all, Yao Wanyi is always confident.
But Xue Hengzhao was hampered by everything.
Besides, even if there is a confrontation, the person involved will never tell the truth.
This is obvious.
But Xue Hengzhao said that she had thought of a countermeasure.
Of course Yu Guming knew that she was smart as ice and snow, but at this moment it was still a bit unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, just let your people watch their every move. If they want to enter the palace, just ask them to enter the palace without stopping them. In addition, the acrobatic team is training a male macaque, right?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
Yu Guming nodded. The macaque is large in size and has a ferocious temperament. It is not comparable to ordinary monkeys.
"Excuse me, Prince, please prepare three things for me when the time comes," Xue Hengzhao smiled slightly, "Let me write them on paper."
She wrote a few words with a jujube pen on the back of the letter Yu Guming gave her.
Then fold it and hand it back to Yu Guming.
"It's getting late, I've been out for a while, it's time to go back." Xue Hengzhao looked at the sky, which was getting darker and darker.
Although Yu Guming was reluctant to part with him, he was helpless.
The rules in the palace were too big, and he couldn't make it difficult for Xue Hengzhao to follow.
Watching Xue Hengzhao's graceful back disappear at the end of the corridor, Yu Guming just withdrew his gaze.
I opened the letter and took a closer look at it in the remaining daylight. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"What is...what to do?"
I don’t know if you all watch male videos, but here is a chapter recommendation for my die-hard fans - "Our Limit Is Not the Top of the Backboard", author Zhang Yusheng. I wish the new book will sell well and become a god soon.
