Unlike the secluded Fangning Palace, Concubine Xian, who managed the harem, was much better informed and soon learned about Xin You being hunted.

After hearing about it, Concubine Xian's first reaction was also puzzling.

It is said that the imperial family is ruthless, but even the former second prince, Prince Qing, was demoted to a common people after committing such a big crime. Why did he suddenly kill Miss Xin, a daughter of a family?
Could it be that the emperor was on a tour to the south and lost his mind in the ditch in the south?

"Are you sure Li Wei is taking the lead?"

After receiving a positive answer, Concubine Xian rubbed her long nails.

Her nails were not painted with cinnabar, they were trimmed neatly and neatly, and they were clean.

After a long silence, Concubine Xian slowly spoke: "You quietly contact the people in front and spread the news that the emperor wants to kill Miss Xin. You must be careful not to let anyone find out about Ganquan Palace..."

The waiter came and couldn't help but glance at Concubine Xian.

The empress is trying to fight for a chance of survival for Miss Xin.

"Go quickly."

The servant took the order and left. Concubine Xian took a sip from the tea cup and sighed softly.

I regret a little. The emperor is so crazy. What if Ganquan Palace is involved and harms his son?
But if you don’t do anything, you will regret it, right?

Concubine Xian clenched the tea cup in her hand and said in her heart: Xinyou, Ganquan Palace can only do so, whether you can survive or not depends on your luck.

The harem was like a deep, bottomless pool, calm and calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging underneath, and everyone's attention was focused on this matter.

Li Wei struggled in the back garden and found nothing, so he met Feng Nian, the commander of the Jinlin Guards.

"did not find?"

Li Wei nodded heavily: "I've searched all the back gardens, and there's nothing there."

"He must be in the harem. Since there is no harem, he must be hiding in some empress's palace."

Li Wei showed hesitation: "Master Feng means to search your empress's palace?"

Feng Nian twitched his lips: "What Eunuch Li said is wrong. How could this be Feng's intention? It is my will to kill Xin You. This is my intention."

"Yes...but searching the ladies' bedroom is not a trivial matter..."

"If we delay any longer, the news will spread outside the palace, and failure to protect the situation will create any obstacles. Eunuch Li, the most important thing for us now is to seize the time and complete the emperor's will."

Once Xin You died, it would be useless to react outside the palace. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death.

"It's not that Xin You is too cunning. She didn't run away and went into the harem. This burden can only be left to Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li, I'm still waiting. Don't let me down." "

Li Weiwei gritted his teeth: "Okay, let's take some more people with us and go to each palace to search in person!"

At this moment, the news that Xin You was sentenced to death came from unknown sources, and spread like wind to all the government offices closest to the palace.

The Imperial College was not near the imperial city. When Meng Jijiu heard the news and rushed over, many people had gathered outside Donghua Gate, asking to see Emperor Xingyuan.

Meng Jijiu saw Xie Zhangyuan and walked over quickly: "Brother Huaiping, are the rumors true?"

Xie Zhangyuan looked serious: "It should be so. I heard that Li Wei is leading a group of internal servants to search the harem..."

Meng Jijiu glanced at the guard guarding the palace gate, and lowered his voice: "Miss you today?"

Xie Zhangyuan shook his head solemnly: "It's because he is in poor health."

"Since I returned to Beijing today, I didn't go to court because of poor health, but today I met Miss Xin and ordered her to die..." Meng Jijiu's expression became uglier as he talked, "This is so strange."

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue interjected: "It is hard to understand why Jinshang suddenly ordered to cancel the New Deal. It is because of this that Miss Xin came to the palace to ask for an audience... No matter what, I must see Jinshang today!"

The thoughts of the Minister of Hube were also the thoughts of most people present.

They didn't all come to save Xin You, but they had doubts about not being able to see Emperor Xingyuan, and now they got together because of Xin You's trouble. There was an argument: "Feng Nian, why don't you let me wait to see the emperor?"

Feng Nian stood at the palace gate and smiled: "What Duke An Guo said is serious. As the commander of the Jinlin Guards, Feng only obeys the emperor's orders. The emperor's dragon body is not in good condition and he has no energy to summon everyone. Feng just Just following orders."

An Guogong had followed Emperor Xingyuan through life and death, and had a hot temper: "Bah! You said you just followed the emperor's orders? I also suspect that you took control of the emperor while his dragon body was not healthy! Anyway, I must see the emperor today. Who does the emperor want to kill? I don’t care, but I want to make sure that the emperor is safe and sound!”

It's hard to ignore Feng Nian when he's being sprayed with.

This An Guogong is not some idle nobleman, but the Zuo Governor of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, the chief of the First Mansion.

Feng Nian had to say: "My lords, please be patient for a moment. Feng will go and ask for instructions from me again."

After waiting like this for a while, the guards at Donghua Gate stepped aside, and Feng Nian said calmly: "I'm here to meet you all."

Everyone looked at each other, and their tense spirits relaxed a little.

Under the leadership of Feng Nian, everyone met Emperor Xingyuan in the emperor's palace.

On the throne, Emperor Xingyuan leaned back, his cheeks were thin and he looked sick.

Although it was against the rules, An Guogong took a careful look at Emperor Xingyuan and made sure that this was his old brother. He asked in a loud voice like a bell: "Your Majesty, how is your health now?"

As soon as Emperor Xingyuan opened his mouth, he coughed violently, causing the expressions of the civil servants and generals in the palace to change slightly, and there was worry in their eyes.

The emperor really doesn't look well...

"I'm fine, I just need to recuperate for a while."

"Then I can rest assured. If your Majesty has your orders, I will fight to the death!"

All the ministers agreed: "I will not give up even if I die!"

This is almost a clear statement, if your Majesty is controlled by traitors and traitors, please speak up quickly.

"Ahem." Emperor Xingyuan glanced at the ministers, "Just let me rest in peace."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were embarrassed.

An Guogong immediately expressed his intention to retreat. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue hesitated for a moment, but still stood up: "Your Majesty, I heard that you ordered Xin You to die. I wonder what crime Xin Daizhao committed?"

"Xin You has no king or father in his eyes, and has committed the ten evil crimes of great disrespect."

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue knelt down and said, "Xin Daizhao is less than ten years old, and young people may be impulsive in their words. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to remember Xin Daizhao's contribution to the world and benefit the people, and give him a lighter sentence."

Xie Zhangyuan, Meng Jijiu and others also knelt down to plead for Xin You.

Emperor Xingyuan's pale face showed anger: "What do you mean, she can't be judged guilty if she has merit? Where does this put the laws of Daxia?"

"His Majesty--"

"No need to say any more, I have made my decision, you all should stand down!"

At this time, the chamberlain reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness King Xiu wants to see you."

"pass."

Not long after, King Xiu came in, lifted his robe and knelt down.

"What's the matter with you?" Emperor Xingyuan asked.

"I beg my father to spare Xin You from the death penalty."

Emperor Xingyuan glanced at King Xiu, pinched his eyebrows tiredly, and uttered two words: "No."
