"No." Li Zihe shook his head with lowered eyes. When he went to check his pulse yesterday, Yun Huan was also in Qinzheng Hall. As soon as she entered, the conversation between the two stopped abruptly. Both eyes stared at her, and she lowered her head and restrained her eyes. Afraid that her abnormal behavior would attract suspicion, Yun Huan remembered seeing her before, but she had forgotten what she looked like a long time ago, and she didn't dare to raise her head even to glance at it, and stepped back after getting her pulse. Yun Jinyan didn't say to let her If you attend dinner today.

"Then..." Shen Mo paused, suppressed his cough, turned Li Zihe's body so that she could meet his eyes, and said seriously: "If everything goes well, you must remember to leave the palace on the way! South gate!"

"En." Li Zihe nodded.

"Remember, I'll wait for you." Shen Mo leaned down, kissed Li Zihe's forehead, turned and left.

Li Zihe sat back at the table, moved the five fingers that Shen Mo had just held in his hand, looked at the dead wood in the snow outside the window, the winter is still very long, when will the dead wood be spring?

In the Great Phoenix Palace, the lights and candles are shining, and the palace is like daytime. The bright yellow light pours through the doors and windows on the snowy ground. The warm light yellow spreads all over the floor, but there is still a cold light. The avenue has been cleaned up long ago, covered with a thick printed velvet blanket, leaving behind a string of messy footprints.

In the palace, Yun Jinyan sat in the first seat. The seats for concubines who were short of space at the last dinner were all occupied. On the left was the most favored Concubine Bai, followed by the newly appointed Concubine Yu, the daughter of the Shangshu, and the concubines who had just been conferred , the main seat came down, the first person on the left was Yun Huan, and the first person on the right was supposed to be Zheng Ying, but now Xie Qianlian was given over to him, Shen Mo was next to him, opposite Shen Mo, and Zheng Ying was next to Yun Huan.

"Today, I am very pleased to be here with all my lovers! Let's have a drink first!" Yun Jinyan raised his glass high, his eyes sparkling, and his joy was beyond words.

Xie Qianlian raised his glass, glanced at Shen Mo, saw him bowing his head and eyes, as if in deep thought, withdrew his hand without a trace, and pushed him, Shen Mo frowning impatiently glanced at him, raised his glass, and drank with everyone.

"Pingxi Wang Luyao is tired and came all the way here. I am very happy, and I will have a drink with the prince first." Yun Jinyan raised his glass and smiled at Xie Qianlian, but glanced at Shen Mo from time to time.

Xie Qianlian also raised his glass and said: "Being loved by the emperor, do it first as a respect!"

While talking, the wine had already been drunk, Yun Jinyan's eyes flashed, he didn't say much, he drank the wine directly, poured another glass, and said to Yun Huan: "The emperor will leave Yundu soon, serve the country, serve the nephew As a king, I should respect Uncle Huang with a cup."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! My servant is terrified!" Yun Huan stood up holding his wine glass, and saluted respectfully.

Xie Qianlian blew on his beard, glared at Yun Huan unobtrusively, and poured wine by himself.Zheng Ying, who was on the opposite side, looked at the crowd, rolled her eyes, and hurriedly raised her wine glass and said, "Your Majesty! Rong Chen said a lot, the prosperity of the country and the people's peace are the result of the emperor's hard work, and I thank the emperor on behalf of the people and all the officials. Long live the emperor!"

After saying a big salute from the beginning to the end, before drinking the wine in his hand, Yun Jinyan nodded with a smile, and all the officials followed suit.

"You don't need to be too polite, and don't be cramped. According to what I said, just do whatever you want."

After Yun Jinyan finished speaking, the hall gradually became lively, all the officials toasted each other, the maids and eunuchs were busy serving dishes and changing dishes, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually rose, and the dancers added to the fun.

Shen Mo frowned, glanced at Su Bai who couldn't take his eyes off Yun Jinyan, then looked at the sky outside, glanced at Xie Qianlian who had already drank a few glasses, picked up the glass and said to Xie Qianlian: "Uncle, and nephew How about a drink?"

Xie Qianlian's face was almost flushed after several glasses of wine. Seeing Shen Mo's toast, she seemed overwhelmed by flattery, and hurriedly raised her glass and moved over to him: "Haha, it's Xiaomo's first toast to me. Drink, of course!"

The two cups collided, and there was a crisp sound. With a movement of Shen Mo's index finger, it just happened to touch the mouth of Xie Qianlian's wine cup, and it slid across gently without leaving any traces.

When the dance reached its climax, all the officials applauded in unison, but Xie Qianlian fell headfirst on the table at this moment. With a sound of "boom", everyone's eyes shifted instantly, and they glanced over in anger or joy. Shen Mo hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty , Uncle is probably drunk."

"Oh? This show is still exciting..." Yun Jinyan smiled with regret on his face: "So, you can help the prince back first, the weather is cold and the wine is hot, don't catch the wind and cold."

Shen Mo saluted, and supported Xie Qianlian to retreat under the eyes of everyone. As soon as he went out, someone put on a heavy cloak for him. Shen Mo wrapped the cloak forward, and it was blown up by the wind, and helped him go away.

Li Zihe looked at the sky and took his waist card. He would attract attention if he did not return to the palace for a long time during the day, but he had no reason to leave the palace at night. If he was afraid that Yun Jinyan would be suspicious before the dinner, he just It can be chosen on the way of a dinner party, and several things go forward at the same time.

Dressed in the uniform of an imperial doctor, he walked quickly to the south. The footprints in the snow were piled up one after another, and he couldn't tell who they belonged to. In the Qingming Festival, Li Zihe wiped his red nose from the cold, and glanced at the west.

As expected, the ground suddenly lit up, and the flames soared into the sky.

Turning his head and continuing to go south, one step, two steps, his heartbeat became faster and faster, his eyes were swollen and painful, and the numbness of the soles of his feet seemed to touch the bottom of his heart. With his head down, he just wanted to keep going, keep going.

Suddenly an arm blocked the way, Li Zihe raised his head, Eunuch Wei bowed slightly towards her, followed by dozens of imperial guards.

Inside the Great Phoenix Palace, it seemed as if everything was quiet. Everyone sat in front of the low table, staring at the fiery red light from the wooden window in the west, dumbfounded, and the emperor, whom they called just now, was sitting on the main seat. The smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be oozing scarlet blood, and he kept saying, this fire is for them to enjoy and keep warm, and no one is allowed to save it!
When Li Zihe was brought into the palace, all the officials held back their puzzlement and looked at him with countless eyes.

Following Li Zihe were ten detainees from the Imperial Forest Army, the leader of whom was holding a porcelain jar, pasted it with paper, and wrote "Ji Li"...

"Your Majesty, these ten people were found sneaking into the Garrison Soul Pavilion in the Cold Palace!" The ten people who were detained were all from the Imperial Forest Army, and the speaker was different from the green uniform of others, and the red color was the main color, obviously the official rank was higher.

Yun Jinyan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "What? You went to the limbo after all your efforts, but it's for a jar of ashes?"

Those who hugged the porcelain jar bowed their heads and remained silent.

"I thought I would find something interesting..." Yun Jinyan smiled lowly, and glanced at Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei received the wink, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. The smile on the face froze, and then spread out again, but the eyes turned cold.

"Your Majesty! More than twenty assassins wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Taoyao Palace to rob Concubine Yao, but we caught them and waited for the Emperor to send me down!" Another imperial guard hurried in, kneeling on the ground without raising his head. Reported on the ground, the voice was loud, and circled around the palace.

"Where's your mother?" Yun Jinyan asked casually.

"Your Majesty..." replied with a little hesitation: "Go back to the emperor! The Taoyao Palace was burned, and the maid next to the Empress said... Your Majesty... the old illness has relapsed!"

"Oh?" Yun Jinyan smiled, his black eyes seemed to swirl, and he couldn't see his feelings clearly: "Send your mother to the Chenxiang Hall, where no matter how much you cry or howl, you won't disturb others! As for the assassin tonight... cut!"

When the word "Zhan" fell to the ground, the already quiet palace became quiet for a moment. A few sudden gasps were heard, but there was no more sound. In front of the emperor, no one took the lead, neither sitting nor kneeling, just motionless.

The concubine was even more startled, Su Bai sat in his seat for no apparent reason, the Yin Yin gaze that was originally looking at Yun Jinyan was forced back by the hostility that erupted from his body, he dared not look up again, lowered his eyes, and became even more confused He glanced at the expressionless Li Zihe.

Yun Jinyan was still smiling, glanced at everyone pretending to be puzzled, and said, "You don't need to be nervous, I'm just cleaning up the harem tonight! By the way..."

Yun Jinyan paused, walked out from the main seat, walked down the steps step by step, and stopped in front of Zheng Ying, Zheng Ying was startled, couldn't sit still, and quickly knelt down.

Yun Jinyan took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, and slammed it on Zheng Ying's body: "By the way, it's all about Zheng Chao Gang!"

Zheng Ying trembled all over, and glanced at the scattered papers on the ground. After just one glance, she couldn't say a word, kowtowed heavily, and said incoherently: "The emperor...the emperor...the emperor is clearly aware..."

"Of course I will investigate clearly!" Yun Jinyan smiled lightly, and said to the Yulin Army who was still reporting: "Detain Prime Minister Zheng together! There are many things to investigate!"

There was dead silence in the palace, only the sound of footsteps, Zheng Ying raised her head, looked at Li Zihe, then at Yun Jinyan, and at the stack of papers on the ground, her eyes were wide open, her lips were trembling, and she could almost hear her teeth chattering. Voice: "I... I understand, it's... it's you... you colluded..."

Before he finished speaking, he was escorted by someone, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up straight, and was dragged out of the Great Phoenix Palace by someone, and they went out together. The "Royal Forest Army" held in custody.

All of a sudden, except for the vacant seat of Zheng Ying, nothing in the palace seemed to have been found, and everything remained unchanged from half an hour ago. Yun Huan, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly got up, knelt down, and paid homage loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

All the officials seemed to have just come back to their senses, and they all knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is wise! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The officials, maids and eunuchs in the palace knelt down on the ground, the sound of the mountain roar seemed to shake the Great Phoenix Palace a few times, but Li Zihe, who was still standing silently at the side, suddenly looked abrupt.

Yun Jinyan looked over with a smile, and saw that she was looking straight at him without hesitation, her eyes were filled with confusion, but she could see that she was trying her best to cover up her complex emotions, her heart trembled for no reason, and she pulled her with one hand, hugged her in her arms and faced her. Everyone announced: "Li Zihe obeyed my order, disguised as a man and lurked in the Imperial Hospital, helped me catch assassins, and found evidence of corruption by treacherous ministers. Starting today, I will be named Concubine Li!"

After the extreme silence, there were gasps one after another, and everyone looked up uncontrollably, only to see this woman who disguised herself as a man and made meritorious service as a concubine, staring at the emperor with hatred that could not be concealed in her eyes!
Yun Jinyan's face was full of smiles, he took Li Zihe's hand, slowly leaned into her ear, and smiled softly: "Shen Mo... I am a teacher and a father, I will raise you and teach you, have you ever told me?" You, back then, who forced me to destroy the whole family of Jifu?"
