Yin Xi knew what Nangong Yue didn't understand, and said: "If the assassin came for the emperor, then the assassin must be targeting the emperor, and the person behind it must also covet the throne.

But today's assassin is targeting you, which means that the person behind it must be a concubine in the harem. A woman's jealousy is the reason why she wants to get rid of you. "

Nangong Yue has lived in the palace for so many years, so she is not a fool. She had a rough guess in her mind as early as Yin Xi's first words.

It's just that for so many years in the harem, except for being made things difficult by the Queen Mother and Concubine Lian causing trouble, Nangong Yue has always had a smooth life.

Nangong Yue had never encountered anything like poisoning or assassination in the palace, so when she suddenly encountered these things, she was still a little scared and felt a chill down her spine.

Before he married Dongfang Ming, his father had earnestly persuaded Nangong Yue, saying that the harem was like a cannibal abyss, and there would always be women dying in it for no reason.

Nangong Yue didn't believe it then, and she didn't believe it before today. She felt that the struggle between women was just about who got pregnant first, whether the child was a prince, or who slept with the most people this month, then they would become the harem. The most proud thing among many concubines.

As for conflicts, Nangong Yue always thought that a quarrel between women was nothing more than pulling hair and slapping someone.

In terms of fighting, Nangong Yue was not afraid of those embroidered pillows in the harem at all.

But she really never imagined that she would be assassinated today by an assassin assigned by a woman in the harem.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yue clenched her fists, clenched her teeth together, and finally said something quite annoying but helpless: "Don't tell Dongfang Ming about my sister for now."

Yin Xi felt particularly puzzled by Nangong Yue's reaction, so she asked, "Why is this? Wouldn't it be easier to ask the emperor to send someone to investigate?"

However, Nangong Yue lamented and shook her head, saying: "Dongfang Ming is like this now. I don't want him to get angry in a hurry. Let's wait until he is well. How can Dongfang Ming, a small body, withstand the stress and stress?" .”

"Then you can't take your own life seriously," Yin Xi said anxiously: "If today's matter is settled like this, who knows whether that person will get worse and continue to harm you, and then it will be impossible to prevent it. .”

But when Nangong Yue heard this, she just shook her head and showed an extremely bitter smile.

When Yin Xi saw her like this, she was anxious and couldn't say anything except comfort.

The conversation between the two fell into a gloomy atmosphere. Finally, after sighing several times, Nangong Yue got up and walked towards the back room.

However, because she had knelt for a long time during the day and did not eat any dinner or lunch, Nangong Yue had just walked out two steps before she felt her eyes darken, dizzy and almost fell down. Fortunately, Yin Xi reacted quickly. Step forward and help him.

"Sister, how are you feeling? Does your leg hurt?" Yin Xi's worried words rang in her ears, and Nangong Yue's weak body regained some clarity.

She shook her head and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm hungry."

Yin Xi advised: "Sister, why don't you go down and eat something first? The emperor is still unconscious, so let's not go over and disturb his rest. You eat something to recover your health. When you have the strength, you can stay here again." Okay."

But Nangong Yue said: "Sister, can you help me over? I want to see him."

Maybe we won’t see it in a few days.Yin Xi just thought that Nangong Yue felt guilty for Dongfang Ming after today's incident and wanted to visit him, so she didn't think much about it and carefully helped Nangong Yue move to the bedside step by step.

Dongfang Ming's upper body was naked on the bed, and his chest was covered with bandages. His face, which had been hit by Nangong Yue during the day, had faded a bit at the moment, but it also showed that his face was too pale due to excessive blood loss.

Nangong Yue slowly walked up to Dongfang Ming, stretched out her hand, and gently brushed his face with her fingertips, a lingering look showing from her lowered eyes.

As she watched, she suddenly choked up, then turned around and said to Yin Xi, "Let's go, sister."

Yin Xi didn't understand why Nangong Yue was so sad right now, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she had to help Nangong Yue out of the palace.

Outside, Yin Guizhou squatted on the ground and played dozens of small circles with a small branch, completely bored.

Seeing Yin Xi helping Nangong Yue come out, he threw the things in his hands, then stood up neatly and said, "Come out? How is he?"

However, before Yin Guizhou could wait for any of them to reply, he was glared hard by Yin Xi, and then he saw Yin Xi mouthing silently:
Shut up and stop asking.

Yin Guizhou was stunned for a moment when he was told this, and then he shut his mouth obediently.

After adjusting her emotions, Nangong Yue forced herself to smile and said: "You must be starving. You haven't eaten until now. Now let me eat. I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat. Let’s make something delicious tomorrow.”

Yin Xi said: "Sister, just eat whatever you want. It's okay for me and my brother not to eat. The main thing is you. You've been tired for a day. How can you not eat something?"

Nangong Yue looked tired and said: "I don't care, I don't feel hungry yet. I'm afraid that if I leave, no one will guard Dongfang Ming. I'm afraid."

afraid of what?
Naturally, she was afraid that after she left, another assassin would take advantage of the situation and kill Dongfang Ming.

Yin Xi wanted to persuade her again, at least to let Nangong Yue eat something to maintain her strength, but she couldn't say anything suitable to dissuade her.

So she secretly shifted her gaze to Yin Guizhou.

Yin Guizhou was very smart. He received the look of help from Yin Xi. He immediately understood what she meant. He took the initiative to step forward and said, "Sister, I just ate a few steamed buns in the small kitchen. I am very full now." , I’m not hungry at all, why not, how about I guard the emperor here?”

"what?"

"Ah?" Not only Nangong Yue was shocked, but Yin Xi was also shocked. She widened her eyes and said, "When did you sneak in and steal food? Didn't they drive you away?"

When Yin Guizhou heard this, he winked at Yin Xi. Only then did Yin Xi react. Then he helped Yin Guizhou and said, "Yes, yes, sister, my brother just went to the small kitchen to eat while we were talking." After a meal, his stomach is full now, so he can guard the emperor for you."

"But..." Nangong Yue still looked a little hesitant and worried.
