Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 962 Entering the Palace
The guards outside Prince Suping's Mansion were heavily guarded, but following Tuoba Fei'er, Liu Yunxiang managed to get in smoothly.

Entering the backyard, all the servants passing by saluted Tuoba Feier.Liu Yunxiang put on her veil and followed behind with her head lowered as much as possible.

"Princess, the prince has ordered that when you return to the palace, you will personally send back the gifts sent by the Duke of Zhenguo two days ago." The person who came forward to report was Dan Qing, who had returned from the northwest.

Liu Yunxiang's heart was beating fast and he tried to hide behind Tuoba Fei'er, hoping that Danqing wouldn't notice her.

Tuoba Feier raised her eyebrows, "Since your prince became powerful, he has been giving gifts every day. He just sends them back as they are. When will it be necessary for me to give them in person?"

"After all, the Duke of this town is the head of a family, so he still needs to give some face, but the prince really can't do what they asked for. In order to appease them, the prince asked the princess to return the gift." Dan Qing explained. road.

Tuoba Feier curled her lips and was about to refuse, but saw Danqing starting to look at Liu Yunxiang behind her, so she quickly agreed and walked to the backyard.

After turning the corner and out of Danqing's sight, Tuoba Feier breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wonder if he had any doubts just now."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, but he didn't expect to bump into Danqing as soon as he entered. "If there is any doubt, he will stop us. Let's not scare ourselves first."

Tuoba Feier nodded, "Yes."

There were not many servants in the west courtyard where Tuoba Feier lived, and they were all brought by her from Xiyue. "Sister Yunxiang, don't worry, they are very strict with their mouths and won't say anything nonsense."

"I'm afraid there are spies of the King of Xiyue among these people." Liu Yunxiang said.

"Don't worry, my second brother has already made arrangements. The people I brought out have been replaced by his people halfway."

"The King is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he really loves you."

Tuoba Feier couldn't help but worry when she thought of her second brother, "We in Xiyue have the eldest son who ascends the throne, but the second brother is the favorite of his father, so he has been jealous of his elder brother since he was a child. My second brother and I are not from the same mother. For the sake of brotherly harmony, the second brother went into business a few years ago and rarely returned to the capital. His father was so angry that he almost severed ties with him. But despite this, after the eldest brother ascended the throne, he still worried about the second brother and summoned him back to the capital. Then put it in the middle of the court."

"This time, the second brother helped the King of Zhenbei in the Battle of Lingnan and showed his outstanding talents. The eldest brother became even more uneasy, so he found an excuse to lock him up. The eldest brother would not let the second brother go. , I must rescue him as soon as possible."

Liu Yunxiang patted Tuoba Fei'er on the shoulder, "The king is very resourceful. Xu has already made plans for himself, so you don't have to worry too much."

"No matter how powerful he is, he can't compete with my elder brother's ruthlessness." Tuoba Feier sighed, "Now the only one who can talk to my elder brother is Lu Changan. No, I have to beg him."

After lunch, Tuoba Fei'er wanted to please Lu Chang'an so that she could ask him to save her second brother, so she took Danqing to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to return the favor, regardless of the fatigue of just returning home.

Liu Yunxiang was not idle either. She tried to avoid people and walked around the backyard, taking the layout of the backyard into her mind.When I walked to the east courtyard, I saw that there were heavy guards there, with more than a dozen people standing in rows holding spears.

She walked around to both sides, and there were guards on both sides. Not to mention people, even mosquitoes couldn't fly in.

With such strictness, Mrs. Xiao and her son might be in the east courtyard.But she had to make sure, and it would be best to contact them.

When Liu Yunxiang was worried about how to get in, a middle-aged woman in a crimson cotton skirt came out with a basket, walked to the door, and said to the guard guarding the door: "That lady is very ill and coughing all the time. You tell the prince, it’s best to ask a doctor to take a look, otherwise..."

At this point, the woman sighed. There were some words that she should not say, so she only said half of it, "Oh, by the way, she has no appetite and wants to eat some light rice porridge."

The guard guarding the door said, "Just deliver the food and don't worry about anything else."

The woman didn't dare to say anything and left with the basket in hand.

Liu Yunxiang hid behind the tree, changed his mind, and headed towards the kitchen.

About half an hour later, she changed her clothes and walked towards the east courtyard gate with a basket in hand.As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the guard guarding the door.

"Aunt Liu asked me to deliver a bowl of white porridge to the lady inside." Liu Yunxiang lowered his head and said.The guard looked at Liu Yunxiang, "Where is Aunt Liu?"

"She had a stomachache and was in a hurry to go to the latrine, so she asked a slave to bring it to her."

"I just told Aunt Liu not to meddle in other people's business. The food has been delivered. Whether the people inside eat it or not has nothing to do with her."

"Aunt Liu said that the lady inside is sick. If she doesn't eat something, she may not be able to survive. If someone dies, ahem, you won't be able to explain it to the prince."

Mrs. Xiao, mother and son are still useful, Lu Changan will not want them to die.

The guard hesitated a little when he heard this, but he did not dare to make his own decision, so he discussed it with the guard next to him.

"The prince ordered us to keep an eye on the people inside, but he didn't say whether they were alive or dead. We should obey orders and don't make random guesses, let alone make decisions."

At this time, an older guard came over. After saying this, he went to look at Liu Yunxiang again.

"Which courtyard maid are you?"

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips and said, "This slave is from the West Courtyard."

"Why the veil?"

"I have a rash, I'm afraid of the wind."

"They are all from Xiyue in the Western Courtyard, right? Can you speak the Xiyue dialect?"

Liu Yunxiang said: "Yes, it's just that the princess wants us to speak the Central Plains dialect."

What she said was the dialect of Western Vietnam. She had specially learned it in the northwest when she sent the eighth girl to get married.

After hearing this sentence, the guard no longer had any doubts.

"Bring it to you in the evening. Remember, let Aunt Liu deliver it in person. No one else can enter this hospital except her."

The guard had finished his words, and Liu Yunxiang could no longer pester him, so he immediately carried the basket and walked outside.Mrs. Xiao seems to be ill, and not seriously ill, but the guards here are too tight, how should she get in.

Liu Yunxiang circled around and hid behind the tree again, observing the situation over there.

In the evening, the cook went in again to deliver rice. Because there was a change of guard, the fact that she went to deliver porridge in the afternoon was hidden.The cook came out soon after, and said that the lady inside was very ill and asked them to send a message to the prince.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, then hurriedly went in the direction where the cook left.

The cook looks very kind, maybe she can ask her for help.Just when he walked to the corridor, he bumped into Lu Changan who was coming back from outside.

Liu Yunxiang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned around and walked down the corridor, but then the wind blew and blew the veil off her face again.

Without even bothering to pick it up, she ran away.

"stop!"

Lu Changan shouted.
