Not as beautiful as the uncle

Chapter 43 The Invisible Hand in the Darkness
Could it be that she just watched those people talking nonsense like this!

Chi Yu gritted his teeth, rushed out with his skirt in his hand, grabbed Prince Xiao who was running in a hurry, and said, "Uncle Xiao, listen to me, that demon water..."

"Let go first!" Shaking her hand away, King Xiaoqin shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe in people, but I'm just a little scared, so...so...don't stop me!"

This is also called believing in Shen Guyuan?Chi Yu felt chilled, let go of his hand, and watched them rush out of the gate of the main courtyard, and the whole Renshan Palace was in a state of panic.

If ordinary people are deceived by that kind of quackery, they will be cheated of some money at most. But the group of people who are deceived now are the royal family and the princes in power. They think that Shen Guyuan is a monster, so Shen Guyuan is a monster. Even if his name is solid.

All of a sudden, the news that Prince Benevolence is a monster swept across the entire capital like a rising tide.Pedestrians on the street talked a lot, and the officials of the DPRK and China were also terrified.Prince Renshan's mansion was under the control of the imperial army, and it was completely surrounded inside and out.

"This is something that can't be helped." Zhao Yinma sighed while sitting on the steps at the entrance of the palace: "Who knew that these things would happen suddenly? The third prince's illness was sudden, and who knew that there were rumors that he was a monster...Jun Lord, you know that the thing that can hurt people the most in this world is not a sword, a gun or a stick, but this mouth and a tongue."

Chi Yu squeezed his hands tightly, sat next to him and said: "If it's just a rumor among the people, it can still be said that the people are ignorant. But what are the rumors from the court? Don't the uncles know that in order to stabilize the court situation , Are these rumors absolutely unacceptable?"

"Maybe they saw those pretentious tricks with their own eyes, and were frightened stupid." Zhao Yinma sighed: "The princes are all old, and it's normal that they can't stand the scare."

"But what should I do now?" Chi Yu frowned: "The third prince is like being imprisoned. No one around this palace dares to approach, let alone listen to my explanation."

Zhao Yinma thought for a while: "Let's wait and see what happens. Anyway, the third prince is still recovering from his illness, so he is not in a hurry to do anything."

Shen Guyuan was indeed not in a hurry, and even fed the cat quite leisurely.Luo Bai and Liu Hua were fattened by him, rolling softly on the carpet.

"How's it going?" Shen Guyuan asked lazily, with his white hair uncombed, half leaning on the soft couch.

Chi Yu walked into the door and said discouragedly: "It's not good, the rumors outside are getting worse and worse, and some foolish people even wrote a letter asking His Majesty to set fire to Prince Renshan's mansion, so as to prevent evildoers from harming the world."

Shen Guyuan chuckled lightly: "It's expected."

People are the most easily incited people. Even if they have never seen it with their own eyes, as long as someone deliberately leads the wind, they will run along. It doesn't matter whether you have reduced taxes or whether you have been arrested. Corrupt officials, as long as there is any possibility of threatening them, they will attack them in groups.

Chi Yu glanced at him: "Third Prince, if you have any plans, you'd better tell them in advance, otherwise the whole house will be worried, and no one will be able to sleep well."

"What plans can I have?" Shen Guyuan put his hands behind his head and lay down on the soft couch, and said with a light smile, "I've been locked up now, and the rest is up to the mastermind behind the scenes. If you want to kill or cut, you can follow his will."

What a joke!Chi Yu frowned: "Could it be that you want to leave, so you broke the jar?"

"I really want to go." Shen Guyuan snorted, "But look at my current body, can I go?"

Chi Yu's heart sank heavily.

Ye Lincheng wandered around the capital for a long time, when he went back to the house, he saw Ning Chiyu packing up his things.

"Where are you going?" Ye Lincheng folded his arms and raised his eyebrows and said, "Go back to your mother's house?"

"No." Chi Yu said without looking back: "I think the capital is about to change, so I'll pack your luggage for you and leave first."

What?Ye Lincheng dug his ears: "Pack my luggage?"

"Well, originally I planned to go with you." Tie a knot on the burden, Chi Yu turned around, looked at him seriously and said: "But now the Renshan Palace is in trouble, I can't sit idly by, so you first Walk."

Moved by his daughter-in-law's act of caring for him, Ye Lincheng looked at her with teary eyes, and then untied the bundle she had fastened.

"Where are you, I'm where I am. I'm not good at anything else, but I won't abandon my wife and escape." Ye Lincheng said: "You may still need my help."

Ning Chiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Didn't it be agreed, it's just a fake visit? After that, we won't be husband and wife."

"Wow, are you really willing?" Ye Lincheng pointed to himself: "It's not so easy to find a perfect husband like me."

Giving him a bright smile, Chi Yu said: "Man, keep what you say."

"Okay, okay." Raising his hands above his head, Ye Lincheng said, "Since you despise me so much, then I won't bother to talk about Shen Guyuan."

Ok?Chi Yu was taken aback, and grabbed his sleeve: "What happened to Shen Guyuan?"

Covering his chest, Ye Lincheng hurt and said: "You really care about him the most."

"Say it quickly." Chi Yu stomped his feet!
Ye Lincheng sighed, looked at her helplessly and said: "When I went out today, I heard that Zhong Wentian, the son of the third envoy, was imprisoned."

"What does this have to do with Shen Guyuan?" Chi Yu frowned.

"Don't worry." Pulling her to sit by the bed, Ye Lincheng said, "Do you still remember the roll I stole last time?"

Of course he remembered that because of that thing, he was stabbed with blood holes all over his body.

"That's an account that someone bought for 1000 taels." Ye Lincheng said, "It was stolen from Ting Wei's mansion."

The autumn harvest corruption case revealed by Shen Guyuan earlier has been pursued, and many high-ranking and small officials have been sacked.Right now, Zhong's family was found. Zhong Wushen had been convicted, but the responsibility for his family members was still under discussion.A few days ago, someone sued Zhong Wentian's father-in-law's family for bribery, and presented a ledger as evidence.Before Yang Qingxiu had time to read it, the ledger was stolen by thieves.

Chi Yu was stunned, and asked him, "Who told you to steal it?"

Ye Lincheng said with a serious face: "I'm a moral thief, I can't betray my customers."

Chi Yu stared at him silently.

After half a stick of incense, Ye Lincheng whispered: "The one who came to place the order is a guard with good martial arts. How could I know who he is? I just remember that he has a tear mole under his left eye."

Mole of tears?Chi Yu asked subconsciously: "Is he a man in his 20s? He has a knife hanging from his waist and his eyebrows are a bit long."

"How do you know?" Ye Lincheng made a gesture: "The face is still a little square, and he speaks the local dialect of the capital, which looks a bit fierce."

With his mouth wide open, Chi Yu felt that it was a little impossible, but he still spat out a name: "Yunyan?"

Shouldn't this man be in jail waiting to be beheaded?

"You know him?" Ye Lincheng raised his eyebrows.

Chi Yu shook his head blankly: "I might have to go and see to find out."

If it's just that they look similar, then it's okay, but if it's really Yunyan... that's too scary.

It has been a month since Shen Qihuai's defeat. People related to him in the court either kept their tails between their tails and kept silent in order to save their lives, or threatened their allegiance to the young emperor like Yu Chengen to eliminate the culprits.Those who choose neither of the two paths are probably already sitting and drinking tea in Tingwei Yamen.

No one would be too bored to release Yunyan. With Shen Qihuai gone, Yunyan couldn't possibly accomplish anything by himself, so he probably didn't do the buying of the ledger.

Chi Yu felt that her analysis made sense, but when Zhao Yinma took her to visit Yunyan in the prison, the man in prison clothes turned around tremblingly, with a strange face full of seeing Death panic.

"What's going on?!" Chi Yu was shocked: "He's not Yunyan!"

Zhao Yinma was taken aback, and holding the skirt of his clothes, he took a candlestick and took a closer look at it.

It's really not Yunyan, Yunyan is Shen Qihuai's first guard after all, although he has done a lot of bad things, but his back is straight every time.And the person in front of him, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and he bowed again and again: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

"Commander Zhao." Chi Yu took a deep breath: "Something has happened, hurry up and report to Uncle Xiao!"

"Okay." Zhao Yinma agreed, and patted Yang Qingxiu's shoulder by the way: "Death row prisoners can also cheat. You'd better think about how to explain it first."

After all, hold the knife and go to the direction of the palace first.

Yang Qingxiu's face collapsed, and he said helplessly: "The old man doesn't know about this at all..."

Turning his head, he yelled viciously at the prisoner: "How do you think of people!"

The head of the cell was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and said in a panic, "My lord, the death row cell is at the innermost part of the sky prison, and there are paperwork to bring people in and out. There hasn't been any robbery recently!"

"Since there are documents for the record, don't you know if you look them up?" Chi Yu frowned: "Who has come to see Yunyan?"

As soon as Yang Qingxiu waved his hand, the prison chief immediately went to look through the paperwork. After looking through it for a long time, he hurriedly said: "I found it, my lord, please take a look!"

Taking the candlestick and showing it to Yang Qingxiu, Chi Yu took a look and caught a glimpse of a name - Yu Chengen.

"Master Prime Minister?" Yang Qingxiu thought about it carefully, and frowned: "When did the Prime Minister come, why don't I know?"

"My lord doesn't know, it's not the prime minister, it's his daughter-in-law." The jailer said: "But after all, it's the former princess and the daughter's family. It's not easy to leave a name on this kind of document, so I wrote it down." The prime minister's name is taboo."

Yu Youwei?Chi Yu was silent.

Shen Guyuan had said earlier that she and Yunyan had an unusual relationship, but did he expect that the relationship between the two would be so good that they would never give up?Replacing a death row prisoner out of prison is a capital crime!Yu Youwei's courage is really great, He Li didn't stay at home, but came out to do such a thing.

"This..." Yang Qingxiu obviously didn't think about it, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Chi Yu: "This matter, the old man will first report to the emperor, and report the situation. It depends on the Holy Majesty's intention on how to deal with it." .”

Chi Yu nodded, she was just here to see, and it was impossible to make a decision.

However, after leaving the prison, she still went to Xiaoqin Prince's Mansion first.

Prince Xiao has also been weak recently, lying on the bed and seeing no guests.Chi Yu waited for half an hour before being put in, and when he saw him, he saluted: "Uncle Emperor, something happened."

"Every time you come, there is an accident." Prince Xiao smiled wryly: "Chi Yu, I am afraid to see you."

"I don't want to either." Chi Yu shrugged helplessly: "However, Prime Minister Yu privately replaced the death row prisoner from prison. Even if I don't talk about this matter, you will receive the note soon."

Yu Chengen?Prince Xiao was startled, and said with a bitter face: "Isn't he being honest recently? Why did something happen?"

"It's not his fault, it's Yu Youwei who named him." Chi Yu pursed his lips: "But the most important thing is, Uncle Xiao Huang, Yun Yan has run away."

cloud smoke?Prince Xiao frowned: "Isn't that just a young man next to Shen Qihuai? Just run away."

"But he also hired someone to steal the account books of Zhong Wentian's father-in-law's house." Chi Yu said: "If I guess correctly, the reason why Zhong Wentian deceived you, uncle, is probably because he was threatened."

And this threat all comes from this ledger.Zhong Wushen was already in death row, so it was not difficult for Zhong Wentian to tell a few lies in order to save his father-in-law.However, he may also be kept in the dark, and he has no idea how serious the consequences of these few lies are.

Prince Xiao finally sat up straight: "Where did you hear all this news?"

Chi Yu said without blushing and heartbeat: "The street is very lively recently. I often walk around, and naturally I hear a lot. As for the authenticity, I believe that Uncle Huang is very good at judging."

If what she said is true, then there is a culprit in this series of events - Yunyan is behind the scenes, using Zhong Wentian to let him send the Golden Buddha to the imperial mausoleum, thereby stealing the elixir and Taizu's body.He is a victim, so he doesn't have to blame himself so much.

Even if what she said was false, if he went to investigate, at least he would know who let Yun Yan go. It would not be a waste of time to question the people in Ting Wei's yamen.

After weighing the two sides, Prince Xiao got up and said: "Since you have said it, this matter must be investigated easily. This king will go and arrange people."

"Then, Uncle Xiao." Chi Yu followed him with his skirts up, his eyes lit up: "Can you check those monks by the way? I think they also have problems, as if they deliberately wanted to frame the Third Prince."

After a pause, Prince Xiao frowned: "This matter... Let's talk about it later, let's deal with the current matter first."

Chi Yu was a little anxious: "The matter of the third prince is also the current matter. He was wronged and imprisoned as a monster... He has never done anything harmful to the world!"

Prince Xiao sighed, patted her on the back and said, "The emperor knows that you love Gu Yuan, but everything must be done according to the rules. Now there is evidence to prove that he is a monster. Before you show evidence that he is not, he must Locked up. This is not something that the emperor alone can decide."

Why didn't he decide?Chi Yu stomped his feet, the four princes were in charge of all the important affairs of the court, Prince Xiao was the leader among them, it was clear that Shen Guyuan would come out as long as he said a word, why didn't he say it?

Prince Xiao strode out, Chi Yu chased after two steps, and stopped in frustration.

It's useless to persuade him, and it's useless to catch up. Shen Guyuan is afraid that he will have to be locked up for a while.

Renshan Wangfu.

Ye Lincheng looked at the man in front of him inexplicably, and asked, "Don't you hate me? What are you doing now?"

Shen Guyuan didn't lift his eyelids, flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "Please come to the palace for a few days, is there any problem?"

"You have a lot of treasures in this place, you think it's okay for me to stay here, and I certainly don't think there's a problem." Ye Lincheng smiled: "It's just that it's a good idea to invite me to live here. I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

"Didn't you hear people say it?" Shen Guyuan said: "I am a monster, and monsters naturally need to eat people, especially those who are extremely greedy."

"Wow, I'm scared to death, I'm so scared!" Ye Lincheng took a small step, patted his chest, and said with a playful smile: "If you are really a monster, how can such a small person trap you? They rushed out to eat people a long time ago , why bother to invite me over?"

Although he is a thief, he is also quite smart.Shen Guyuan squinted at him, snorted softly, and turned to look at the door.

Half an hour later, Ning Chiyu frowned and stepped in with her skirt in hand, looked at him for no reason, then at Ye Lincheng: "What's going on?"

Ye Lincheng immediately jumped behind her, grabbed her shoulders and said, "Miss, you are here! This monster caught me and said he wanted to eat me!"

As he spoke, he shook his body.

Chi Yu rolled his eyes angrily: "If you were a weak girl, I would still feel pity for this appearance. A big man, why pretend?"

Ye Lincheng's face was broken, and he sat aside, and said dejectedly: "Even my own wife doesn't take pity on me, what's the point of living this life?"

Chi Yu was too lazy to talk to him, so he frowned and looked at Shen Guyuan: "Third Prince, I haven't offended you recently, why are you arresting him?"

Shen Guyuan said indifferently: "It's not arresting, just invite him to stay for two days."

"Why?" Chi Yu said, "It's not like he doesn't have a place to live."

"But the place where he lives is far less safe than my palace." Shen Guyuan raised his eyes, looked at her calmly and said, "He revealed the secret, do you think you can just live in a house?"

With a jump in his heart, Chi Yu thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.Once Prince Xiao starts to investigate Yunyan and the ledger, Ye Lincheng will definitely be exposed, and when the time comes, there will be a cloud of killers, and they may not be able to avoid it.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Ye Lincheng waved his hand: "He clearly sees that you and I are of the same mind, so if he keeps me here, you will naturally stay here too."

Chi Yu was taken aback, and turned to look at Shen Guyuan. The latter looked upright and looked at the marriage book in his hand gracefully. His posture was so noble that any speculation would be blasphemy to him!

So Chi Yu turned his head and berated Ye Lincheng in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Lincheng stared, pointed to Shen Guyuan, then pointed to himself, finally swallowed, gritted his teeth and said, "Then treat it as me talking nonsense."

"The two of you are husband and wife, so you should eat and live together." Shen Guyuan said indifferently: "I have already arranged the room, and it is the one on the left hand side when you go out."

On the left side of the door... Chi Yu squinted, isn't that her previous room?
"If you are not used to anything, you can tell me." Shen Guyuan said, "Anyway, I'm too busy now."

"Dignified prince, being locked up like a monster is quite free." Ye Lincheng did not shy away from poking someone's sore spot: "I don't know when I can get out."

Chi Yu stepped on him.

"What are you doing?" Ye Lincheng said innocently, "Isn't this the truth?"

"It is indeed the truth." Shen Guyuan lowered his eyes, his face suddenly became sad, indifferent and melancholy: "I am a prince, I am not even as good as a commoner."

This is pretending to be pitiful, Chi Yu can see that, Shen Guyuan is a prince who is more powerful than a commoner, even if Shen Qihuai comes to cry and be wronged, it is not his turn.

However... Looking at this person, the long eyelashes are slightly moist, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and slightly pale, even in bright red, the whole person looks very haggard.Messy white hair hung down from the side of his face, covering half of his face, making him even more depressed.

Chi Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and sighed: "Feng Shui turns around, so don't be too sad."

"You don't need to comfort me." Shen Guyuan laughed at himself, "I asked for this. After doing so many things, I ended up betraying my relatives."

"That means that what you did was not good." Ye Lincheng curled his lips.

Chi Yu was unhappy, and stomped on him again: "The third prince has never done anything bad! He punished corrupt officials and wiped out the government and the public, and even avenged me."

"Then why did everyone betray their relatives?" Ye Lincheng raised his eyebrows.

"No one has betrayed their relatives." Chi Yu curled his lips: "I am the only one who left. As for the people like Prince Xiao, they just believed the rumors..."

"Isn't this still his own problem?" Ye Lincheng clicked his tongue twice: "If he himself is doing well enough, why would you leave him? How can others not believe him?"

"He..." Chi Yu glared at Ye Lincheng: "Why are you talking so much!"

Shen Guyuan smiled wryly, raised his slender fingers to support his forehead, his face was hidden in the white hair, and his expression could not be seen clearly: "He is right, it is my fault."

Chi Yu was silent.

How about Shen Guyuan?It's really bad, fierce, and has done unforgivable things to her.But if you want to say that he is not good...he was the one who came to save her out of the wind and fire, and he was the one who was busy trying to get justice for the farmers.She herself had a reason to blame him, but when others scolded her, she felt that she shouldn't.

So, she dragged Ye Lincheng outside.

"Hey?" Ye Lincheng stared, "Where are you going?"

"Clean up the room!" Chi Yu gritted his teeth and replied, dragging him out of the main room and pushing him into the side hall.

"Why are you so angry?" Ye Lincheng entered the room, dumbfoundingly said: "The prince thinks he is at fault."

Chi Yu leaned against the door with a serious face and said, "He's not as bad as you said."

"Oh?" Raising his eyebrows, Ye Lincheng was a little displeased, but he still folded his arms and asked her with a smile: "In your eyes, is he a good person?"

"Not a good person, nor a bad person." Chi Yu himself felt that this feeling was very complicated: "I think I should hate him, but I have no right to hate him. If I want to love him, he won't give me a chance to love him."

"That's it." The smile on Ye Lincheng's face slowly faded: "Since you have feelings for him, it's not fair to evaluate him."

"I don't comment, but I can tell you what he has done, right?" Chi Yu said anxiously: "He captured Yang Yanyu, he also brought down Zhong Wushen, and even Shen Qihuai, who had wolfish ambitions, did too." he……"

"Hey."

A hand stretched out from the side of her face and beat on the carved door behind her. Ye Lincheng's face was slightly tense, and he held the door very displeasedly: "Why should I care what kind of person Shen Guyuan is? ?”

Chi Yu was taken aback and looked up at him.

"You woman, you are thinking about her in your heart, and you still have a estrangement. If there is an estrangement, don't get close. You just want to get involved in his affairs, and you don't want to leave." There was a dark look in his eyes, and Ye Lincheng said: "Lao Tzu Is it not as good-looking as him, or is the hair not as special as him?"

The room fell silent, Chi Yu stared at him blankly, Ye Lincheng looked back seriously, wearing a black robe that seemed very oppressive.Ye Lincheng felt that this must be the most masculine time in his 20 years of life, any woman should feel her heart pounding and blushing when he stared at her like this.

However, the person in front of him just froze for a while, then stood up straight with a frown, breaking the charming atmosphere: "You ask me this kind of question too? Do you still need to think about it? You must not be as good-looking as him, and your hair is not as special as him , is this the point?"

These words were like sharp arrows, and they shot through his chest twice.Ye Lincheng let out an "uh", clutched his heart in pain, staggered two steps, and was on the verge of falling: "You actually... think so..."

"Everyone would think so, right?" Chi Yu said inexplicably, "Why do you compare yourself to Shen Guyuan? Why do you compare your appearance?"

"Ah—" fell on the bed in pain, Ye Lincheng felt like vomiting blood, and pointed in Chi Yu's direction unwillingly: "You cruel woman..."

Her hands trembled in the air for a while, then they fell down on the brocade quilt, her eyes also slowly closed.

Chi Yu rolled his eyes angrily, walked over and kicked him: "Don't do this, tell me first, who gave the account book to?"

Ye Lincheng said in a muffled voice, "I'm already pissed off, don't talk to me."

"Then this dead hero, please ask me." Chi Yu looked down at him and said, "Who did you steal that ledger and hand it over to?"

With a muffled snort, Ye Lincheng said: "Someone spends money to buy it, so naturally it will be handed over to the spender. 1000 taels of silver is a good deal."

1000 taels is not a small amount, if Yunyan is alone, he definitely can't afford so much money, who does he rely on?Chi Yu stroked his chin and thought about it, when he saw the person next to him turn over.

"Hey, aren't you dead?" She said amusedly, "Can a dead person turn over?"

Ye Lincheng hummed: "You don't understand, one side is dead, turn the other side, and you can die more thoroughly."

One couldn't help laughing out loud, Chi Yu shook his head again and again, thinking that this person is really a treasure.

Prince Xiao personally examined Yunyan's escape from prison, and asked Yu Chengen, but Yu Chengen actually said: "Youwei has been away from the capital for more than a month, and because of Shen Qihuai's rebellion, she was shameless, so she went to the villa outside the capital. "

more than a month?Prince Xiao was stunned, and flipped through the document: "The date on it is half a month ago."

Yu Youwei has been away from the capital for more than a month, but came back half a month ago, took the token from the prime minister's house, and exchanged Yunyan?Yu Chengen also felt that it was very strange, so he quickly sent someone to investigate.

There are more and more rumors about monsters harming people in the capital, and there are all kinds of rumors.The imperial court did not send anyone to suppress it, so the people naturally became more unscrupulous, making up many stories about monsters eating people.The prestige and connections that Prince Benevolence had established before were wiped out in this rumor.

Prince Jing sighed: "This is really an impermanent world."

Shen Zhibai sat across from him, holding a white piece in his hand, lowered his eyes and said: "It's not so much about world affairs, my son thinks, it's more about people's hearts."

"How do you say that?" Prince Jing raised his eyebrows.

Shen Zhibai said: "If Uncle Sanhuang is a monster, why bother to do so many good things? As his prince, he can eat people at will. Therefore, he is not a monster, but was framed by others. Now that Shen Qihuai has just been eliminated, Uncle Sanhuang is about to Taking power, suddenly something happened at this juncture, father thinks, is it really just the impermanence of the world?"

Prince Jing was taken aback, frowned, thought carefully, and said, "Who would have trouble with Gu Yuan? There are quite a few people in the court who support him. Even if they don't support him, there are very few people who are dissatisfied with him."

"We'll know soon." Shen Zhibai pursed his lips, and put down the white piece in his hand: "This round, the father lost."

The sunspots on the chessboard had come to an end, Prince Jing laughed, slapped his knees and said, "Blue comes from blue and is better than blue."

Shen Zhibai smiled.

The person who sent out to investigate soon came back and reported that Yu Youwei was not in the villa, and had been missing for more than a month, and the news could not reach the capital, so no one knew about it.

Yu Chengen panicked, looked at the filial prince and said: "My lord, I only have such a daughter!"

Prince Xiao was also very helpless: "Prime Minister, what does this have to do with this king? This king also found out that Yunyan seemed to be doing something, so he pulled out the prison document. If it weren't for this, you still don't know your daughter Gone."

Yu Chengen frowned, looking at him with suspicion in his eyes.

Prince Xiao felt aggrieved, and while asking people to track down Yunyan's whereabouts, he explained to the prime minister that Ningchiyu had told him about it.

Upon hearing Ningchiyu's name, Yu Chengen frowned, and asked someone to find out where Ningchiyu was when he left the palace.

Ningchiyu was naturally still in Prince Renshan's mansion, and when he got up early in the morning, he heard Ye Lincheng say, "Something seems to have happened outside."

"What's the matter?" With a bad feeling in his heart, Chi Yu frowned and looked at him.

Ye Lincheng chewed the steamed stuffed bun and said, "Many people near Prince Renshan's mansion have abdominal pain and foaming, and the medicine halls are crowded early in the morning."

"How do you know?" Chi Yu stared.

Ye Lincheng raised the steamed stuffed bun in his hand: "I saw it when I went out to buy stuffed buns. The cooks in this house are good at cooking, but I still like the stuffed buns from the one on the street next door..."

"Wait." Chi Yu narrowed his eyes: "Do many people have this symptom?"

Ye Lincheng nodded: "At a glance, there are at least a hundred or so."

"Oops!" Chi Yu put on his coat and opened the door.

Su Ming hurried in from the outside, pushed the main room away and said to the inside: "Master, there seems to be a plague breaking out outside."

Chi Yu followed and saw Shen Guyuan lying on the bed, looking very calm: "Plague?"

"Yes, many people have symptoms. Now the yamen has come to block all the three nearby streets. All the people who have symptoms have been kept in the hospital."

Shen Guyuan was silent.

Chi Yu was in a hurry, walked to his bed and said, "You are still so calm? Do you know what will happen next?"

"I know." Shen Guyuan looked at her and said, "The plague near the Renshan Palace must be caused by me, a monster. When the time comes, the people will be outraged and my palace will be burned down."

"Then you're still lying down?" Chi Yu stomped.

Shen Guyuan sighed: "It's not that I want to lie down, it's that my body is frozen and I can't get up."

Almost forgot about this, Chi Yu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to put his hands on his face.

However, before reaching halfway, he was caught.

"My hands should be warmer." Ye Lincheng smiled and pushed Chi Yu away, rubbed his hands and looked at Shen Guyuan and said, "Let me do it."

With a heavy face, Shen Guyuan said with extreme disgust: "No need!"

"My lord, you are welcome." Ye Lincheng pursed his lips: "We are all men, so there is no need to be shy."

Shen Guyuan: "..."

He forced himself to sit up, and said with a dark face, "I can get up by myself."

Chi Yu's eyes widened in surprise, Ye Lincheng smiled proudly, and flashed his white teeth at Chi Yu: "Look, am I useful?"

Nodding with a complicated mood, Chi Yu said: "Let's think about what to do now, the plague is no joke."

"The plague broke out overnight, and the reaction is so obvious. If you say it's a real plague, I don't believe it." Ye Lincheng folded his arms and said, "I'm more convinced that it was poisoned collectively."

"It's useless, don't think about it." Shen Guyuan said lightly: "Even if someone poisons me, I can't escape this time."

Chi Yu squeezed his fist.

Isn't it just impossible to escape?All these things are clearly aimed at forcing Shen Guyuan to a dead end, who is so ruthless?
What's even more strange is that according to his previous temper, he must have killed those troublemakers. Now, for some reason, his temper has become so good, and he is submissive.

"Princess Chiyu." Su Ming said, "There are still rumors from outside that the Prime Minister's Mansion is looking for you to ask about Yu Youwei."

Prime Minister's Mansion?Chi Yu waved his hand without thinking: "No."

Yu Youwei's father was of the same character as her, so what good would it do if she fell into his hands?Yu Youwei has nothing to do with her now, and she can't even ask her here.

However, Shen Guyuan said: "You should go."

"Huh?" Looking at him suspiciously, Chi Yu asked, "What am I going to say?"

"Yu Youwei was kidnapped more than a month ago, and she is probably in the capital now." Shen Guyuan said, "Yu Chengen wanted to find her, so he was in a hurry and went to the doctor to ask you."

Chi Yu was stunned for a moment: "Trapped? Who dares to tie her up?"

"I don't know." Shen Guyuan lowered his eyes: "I only know that she will definitely show up near Prince Renshan's mansion the day after tomorrow. Since Prime Minister Yu wants to ask, then you can tell him and just take someone to rescue Yu Youwei the day after tomorrow. "

Chi Yu didn't find it strange that he could predict things, since he was a monster anyway.

But Ye Lincheng next to him was different. After hearing him finish speaking, he let out a "wow" and said in surprise, "How do you know?"

Shen Guyuan showed him an inscrutable sneer: "Because I have a brain."

Ye Lincheng: "..."

Chi Yu did what he said without hesitation, but Yu Chengen obviously didn't believe it: "Why did Youwei appear near the Renshan Prince's Mansion? Where did you get the news? Did you send someone..."

"Master Prime Minister." Chi Yupi smiled but said: "You don't have any evidence that I kidnapped Yu Youwei, so it's best not to talk nonsense. If you want to go or not, it's not a good thing for me if she lives anyway. .”

After all, turn around and leave.

Yu Chengen was so choked that his face was ugly, and he stared at Ning Chiyu's back for a long time, but he still asked Nan Zhi to take someone to prepare.

The plague broke out in the capital, but it was only near the Renshan Prince's Mansion, and there were no other places.A doctor in the medical center sighed, "I don't know if it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster." The sick people beside him immediately said, "This is not a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it's a monster!"

"That's right!" After being reminded like this, everyone became excited: "Everything is fine in other places, but the people who live with us have an accident. It's not the monster, what else could be the reason?"

"Are we going to die here?"

Panic prevailed, and it was unknown who took the lead. All the people trapped nearby took to the streets and surrounded the gate of Prince Renshan's mansion.

"Brother Huang." Prince Jing frowned and said, "There is news from outside that some unscrupulous people set fire and threw stones, trying to harm Gu Yuan."

Prince Xiao let out a long sigh: "What can we do? It just so happened that the plague broke out at this time, and no one expected it."

"Then don't care?" Prince Jing was startled: "That's the blood of the royal family!"

Prince Xiao remained silent, looking at the sky with melancholy.

"Burn him, burn him!"

The people were so angry that they couldn't be suppressed, so Zhao Yinma stopped people at the door in desperation: "Prince Benevolent and Shan is not a monster."

"It's not him, how could we be like this?"

"That's right, it's clearly a monster!"

Unable to argue, Zhao Yinma silently guarded the door, not letting these people approach.However, more and more people gathered, and by the next morning, the entire street was blocked.

"Hand over the evildoer and burn to death! Hand over the evildoer and burn to death!"

Zhao Yinma asked Li Shengquan angrily, "Is there no one in the yamen?"

Li Shengquan shook his head: "I asked, Nan Zhi, the commander of the city guard army, has official duties, so I don't know where he went. The rest of the city guard army, hearing that this area is banned, are not willing to come here."

Don't want to come over?Zhao Yinma let out a "ha" in disbelief: "Isn't it the duty of the city guards to maintain the stability of the capital?"

Li Shengquan pursed his lips: "As long as your thinking is simple, do you know how many people in this court are looking forward to the death of Prince Renshan?"

"How is this possible?" Zhao Yinma shook his head: "Prince Renshan is quite famous and loved by everyone..."

"People's hearts are separated from their belly." Li Shengquan said: "Everyone has what they want, and everyone's path is mostly different."

Zhao Yinma gritted his teeth, glanced at the turbulent people in front of him, and said bitterly: "I don't care what they think, I will guard this Renshan Palace!"

Li Shengquan glanced at him, didn't say anything, just stood with him.

Two hundred forbidden troops guarded the palace for a whole day. However, when the sun rose again, the defense of the forbidden army was broken.

Countless torches flew into the palace, and the people shouted and rushed in holding the torches.
