Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 261 Trapped
The sun was slightly warm, but when it fell on Ling Youyao, she couldn't feel any warmth.

Seeing her in a daze, Yin Zhu couldn't help asking: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Youyao suddenly came back to her senses, looked at the towering palace in the distance, and murmured: "It's nothing, maybe I was wrong."

When that accident happened back then, Su Lingxi was only 13 years old, so how could that cold arrow have anything to do with her?What's more, Fu Mingjue checked after the incident, but did not find any clues.With Su Lingxi at that time alone, it might be impossible to do it without anyone noticing.

Ling Youyao stopped thinking about it, sighed lightly and said, "The empress should have woken up, let's go back first."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Yin Zhu didn't ask further, but only said: "Princess, do you still want to stay in the palace today?"

"I don't know, let's see how the empress is doing first."

While talking, the two walked towards Fengyi Palace.When I first arrived at the door, I saw Mr. Li leading someone out from inside.

When Director Li saw Ling Youyao, he bent down to salute, and then said: "I am going to look for the princess, I didn't expect to meet here by chance."

Ling Youyao frowned subconsciously: "What do you want me for?"

"Back to the princess," Mr. Li said with a habitual smirk on his face, "Your Majesty said that the empress and empress have suffered such blows one after another, and she is distraught. Stay in the palace and spend more time with the empress, so that the empress can get out of her sorrow as soon as possible."

Without waiting for Ling Youyao to answer, he immediately said: "The princess doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the palace. The servant has already sent someone to the palace to fetch your frequently used items, and they will be sent to Chonghua Palace later. If the princess needs anything else Yes, just talk to the servant."

After all, he bowed to Ling Youyao again.

He said so much in one breath, and he only expressed one meaning: You want to leave the palace these days, I'm afraid it will be impossible.

Ling Youyao watched him quietly, and suddenly remembered the little eunuch who committed suicide by biting his tongue. She seemed to understand something, and then smiled: "I just wanted to stay in the palace with the empress, but I didn't expect His Majesty to make arrangements for me first. This is much more convenient, and I have troubled my father-in-law to thank His Majesty on my behalf."

Director Li lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Princess, don't worry, the slave will definitely convey it to His Majesty."

"Well," she said after a pause, "but I still have something to trouble my father-in-law."

"It's what the princess ordered."

Ling Youyao bent the corners of her lips and said: "The prince sent me a letter two days ago, and he came to the palace before he could reply to the letter. I will write the reply later, and I will ask my father-in-law to send it out for me."

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, felt that it was nothing, and agreed.

After he left, Yin Zhu asked: "Wangfei, what does it mean that Your Majesty left you in the palace?"

"Probably looking for peace of mind."

Fu Xiuyun's intentions are actually not difficult to guess. Although the little eunuch's words were not true, they made Fu Xiuyun suspicious. After all, there are not many people in this world who dare to do anything to Lushan.

Yinzhu also vaguely guessed it, and was a little worried: "Then do we really have to stay in the palace forever?"

"It won't be too long, it will be fine when the prince comes back," Ling Youyao is quite open-minded, "Besides, I really don't worry about the empress, it's not bad to stay in the palace, but I don't know how to leave Lu Sheng and Lu Bao alone. Outside, can you take a good look at Qianzhen Pavilion? Don’t wait for me to leave the palace and lose a lot of money in my account."

Yinzhu twitched the corners of her eyes, feeling that she was big-hearted: "You, you are now a bird in a cage, and you are still worrying about money!"

Ling Youyao walked back slowly, and sighed: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I'm afraid there is no money to spend."

"You have earned so much, but I haven't seen you spend it"

Speaking of which, Yin Zhu really felt strange.Qianzhen Pavilion has made a lot of money in the past few months, and the two performances by Mu Xiaoxiao alone earned tens of thousands of taels.It should be said that the capital has been earned back a long time ago, but Ling Youyao has never seen any rare and precious items.

Ling Youyao said: "Being from being diligent and thrifty, breaking from being extravagant, everything is peaceful now, and it doesn't need to cost too much. It won't be too late to spend until it is useful."

It has been seven years since Yong'an, and it is only four years since Fu Mingjue rebelled.She wasn't worried that Fu Mingjue would rebel, but she was only worried that someone would push him into a corner.

The current tranquility is nothing but a mirror image, today Fu Xiuyun can trap her in the palace for a false statement, but who knows in the future, will he also imprison Fu Mingjue in a cage for a single sentence?

After Mr. Li returned to Chengming Palace, he told Fu Xiuyun exactly what Ling Youyao said.

When Fu Xiuyun heard this, he didn't react too much, and said casually: "She really cares about the queen."

Mr. Li couldn't figure out what he meant, so he asked: "Your Majesty, the princess also said that the prince wrote her a letter a few days ago and asked the servant to send the reply to the prince for her. Please read this letter."

"They have a good relationship." Fu Xiuyun's expression was indifferent, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.

Manager Li was embarrassed, and when he was hesitating whether to speak, he only heard him say: "Since she said it, just hand over the letter to the postman."

"Yes."

After Fu Xiuyun finished approving the memorial in hand, he put it aside and asked, "Is there any new news from Southern Xinjiang?"

Mr. Li said: "Returning to Your Majesty, according to the battle report, the Holy Maiden's party has come to an end, and many ministers have defected, but Ji Wuyue did not admit defeat, sneaked into the palace, stole the royal jade seal, and her whereabouts are still unknown. .”

The jade seal is a thing handed down by the royal family in southern Xinjiang. If you want to ascend to the throne, you need not only the support of the saint, but also the jade seal.

Fu Xiuyun frowned and said: "Nanjiang has not yet selected the next successor, and Ji Wuyue stole the jade seal, so she still has the intention to seize the throne."

"Not only that, when Ji Wuyue escaped, she poisoned Nan Qingfeng. Fortunately, with the presence of Imperial Physician Sun, Nan Qingfeng's life was temporarily saved, but it will take some time to cure the poison."

"It seems that Ji Wuyue made up her mind this time to drag Nan Qingfeng to her death." Fu Xiuyun paused, and then asked, "Do you know which direction she fled to?"

Manager Li thought for a while, and replied: "I heard that they are going in the direction of Xuanyue Temple."

"Xuanyue Temple" Fu Xiuyun murmured in a low voice, with a heavy expression on his face, "If Ji Wuyue really escaped to Xuanyue Temple, it will be difficult to catch her."

Xuanyue Temple is located in the north of southern Xinjiang. It is said to be a temple, but it is actually a palace full of poisonous substances. Only a Buddha is placed in the palace, so it is called a temple.And Ji Wuyue was born there.

At this time, the sky outside was still brightly lit, but the inside of Xuanyue Temple was dark, as if it was carved out of this world.

Sun Fuzhi looked up at the crumbling plaque hanging on the main hall, and said, "My lord, there are poisons everywhere here, do you really want to go in?"

Fu Mingjue gave a faint "hmm" and said: "Since Ji Wuyue left a clue, she just wanted to lure this king here. If she doesn't go in, wouldn't it be a waste of her hard work?"

"It's just." Sun Fuzhi's face was heavy, and he wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Fu Mingjue.

He said: "The detoxification method you mentioned lies in Ji Wuyue. No matter what, this king must go."

"That's all," Sun Fuzhi sighed deeply, and handed him the only hundred poison pills left on his body, "since you have decided to go, the officer will wait for you here, and hope you return safely."
