In a secret courtyard in the capital, Sun Wei and Wei Lan changed their clothes, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and pushed open the wooden door.

Inside the house, Jingchen, Lingyun, Lingzhi, and Xiao Ziyi were sitting there, having obviously been waiting for a long time.

Ling Yun had obviously lost a lot of weight, and there were dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not in good condition.

After Sun Wei and Wei Lan sat down, they briefly talked about what happened on New Year's Eve. You could hear a pin drop in the house and the air pressure was frighteningly low.

Ling Yun stammered twice, and finally spoke with some difficulty, his voice hoarse, "Baby, he..."

Sun Wei sighed slowly, his expression was not good, "He is awake, but he was quite shocked, so he needs to be taken care of."

Seeing him like this, Wei Lan hesitated to speak. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke, "The situation is very bad. He is neither happy nor sad, and he doesn't speak. He even forgot to eat and drink. I guess he has amnesia."

Ling Yun stood up suddenly, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were red. "I should have risked my life to take him away, but I wouldn't..."

Ling Zhi and Xiao Ziyi grabbed him on the left and right, fearing that he would rush out.

Sun Wei looked at Wei Lan disapprovingly. If we hadn't discussed it, let's not talk about it first. Wei Lan looked back at him and said that he would know it sooner or later.

"Mr. Ling, please be patient. It's not as serious as you say. It's just a few symptoms. With timely treatment, it will be fine."

"The two of us came here today to rescue him from the palace under this pretext."

Ling Yun grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "How is he? Tell me the truth."

Sun Wei nodded, motioning him to let her go, and then spoke, "Hey, half of my tongue was bitten off, the wound has been sutured, and the stitches can be removed in the next few days."

"There are always people around to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about getting new injuries."

He glanced at Ling Yun and Jing Chen quietly, "The emperor was a little unusual that night. With the emperor's sensitivity, even if he was obsessed with love, he would not have failed to notice that Jiang Yun was injured."

Jingchen heard the clue in the words, "You said someone drugged my brother?"

"Yes, the clothes the emperor wore that night were fumigated with acacia incense." After a pause, Sun Wei continued, "This fragrance is mixed with ordinary incense, so it is not easy to detect."

"And the emperor already had that thought in mind, and only realized something was wrong afterwards."

"The emperor deliberately concealed this matter, and only a few people knew about it. It was also with great difficulty that we managed to come out."

Wei Lan continued, "Let's make it short. It has already happened. No matter how angry you are, just be patient and take this opportunity to rescue the people."

"The emperor is very concerned about this matter and feels very regretful. We have discussed it and decided to ask the emperor to send Mr. Jiang out of the palace on his own initiative, under the pretext that he needs to recuperate."

"What happens next is up to you."

Ling Yun had calmed down and stood up to salute, "Thank you very much, baby, you have taken care of me during this period of time."

Wei Lan stood up and returned the greeting, "You're welcome. We can't stay any longer. Goodbye."

Sun Wei stood up and saluted, and the two walked out the door together. Before they stepped out of the door, they paused, "Master Ling, the clothes the emperor wore that day are very similar to your clothes."

This sentence was undoubtedly a heavy bomb. The remaining few people looked at Ling Yun, who also had a very ugly expression, "It's hard to guard against thieves in your own home."

Ling Zhi's face was not good either. "Your clothes are in your old house and your new house. If we check, we will have no idea where to start."

Ling Yun clenched his fist tightly, "Brother, there are not many people who dare to confront the palace."

"knocking"

The door knocked twice and Ye Xiao walked in. Although he had a normal expression, one could tell that he was angry.

"Master, cousin, Lord Ling, Master Ling, I got a piece of news by chance, it's about Master Jiang."

Several people sat up straight, waiting for his next words.

"Some time ago, Imperial Physician Sun was imprisoned. The spearhead of this incident was originally directed at Yuhua Palace, which is the palace where Young Master Jiang is temporarily staying."

"Because of the emperor, only Doctor Sun was arrested in the end. It was Liu Furong who was behind this."

"Liu Furong?" Several people asked in unison, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with the name.

"Yes, she is the youngest daughter of the Left Vice-Chief Censor Liu Xing. She had just entered the palace not long ago and was initially made a noble lady. She faked a pregnancy to frame Young Master Jiang, but was eventually exposed."

"She left the palace secretly to go to the hunting grounds and was punished by the emperor. She was finally saved after the queen mother guaranteed her."

Ye Xiao also didn't know why people who had nothing to do with her would target Jiang Yun.

Jingchen silently recited Liu Xing's name, "Go on."

"Yes, Liu Furong and Wen Xia, that is, Concubine Wen, became good friends outside the palace, and then Wen Xia accidentally injured Mr. Jiang's eyes."

"This matter was not made public, and the emperor only reprimanded Wen Xia in the end."

"Also, the clothes the emperor wore that night were prepared by Wen Xia. Initially, the emperor intended to dress up as the third son of Ling to mislead Mr. Jiang."

"I didn't expect that..."

Ye Xiao finished speaking, still holding back anger in his heart, and took out half a piece of letter paper and spread it out, "It's not signed, it was sent by a little beggar a quarter of an hour ago."

Several people gathered around the letter and looked at it again and again. Jingchen pinched it and smelled it. "It looks like paper from the palace. The handwriting is fresh and tender. It was probably written by the left hand."

"Someone gave us a clue, so let's investigate."

Xiao Ziyi frowned, "Maybe he wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

Ling Zhi nodded, "There are people fighting in the palace, and it's hard to investigate what's happening outside the palace, so they want to ask us for help."

"But this unsigned letter is hard to believe."

Ling Yun read the contents of the letter carefully again. "Whether it is true or false, this person knows more than us."

"We want to find out who hurt the baby, so he wants to use us to bring down the Wen and Liu families. What a good plan."

Jingchen thought for a moment, "It seems like something that Concubine De would think of, but she has always lived a quiet life without fighting or competing."

Ling Zhi shook his head, "De Fei has a daughter. If she really doesn't fight for it, the princess's future will be ruined."

"The emperor is always smart, why doesn't she tell him directly."

Jing Chen sighed, "My brother is always cautious and doesn't like people playing tricks on him. Even if what she said is true, it will affect her image in my heart."

Ling Yun looked at Jing Chen, knelt on one knee, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, can you find a way to let me go to the palace? I am really worried about my baby."

"Cousin, please think of a way to take me with you." Xiao Ziyi also looked at Jingchen with hope.

Of course Jingchen wanted to go to the palace to see Jiang Yun, but the last time he looked for Jiang Yun in the palace, he was warned by Jing Zhou. Now he has to ask for permission several times before he can go to the palace, and he has never seen her. Sigh...

Jingchen stood up and helped Lingyun up, "I will find a way to enter the palace, but I can't guarantee whether I can see Xiaoyun."

Xiao Ziyi had a bitter face. He had tried to enter the palace several times before, but was rejected by the emperor. "The emperor is really something. He does bad things and is so confident."

"I made so many muskets for him, but he didn't get any benefits from it. He didn't even approve my application to enter the palace. It's really like I'm killing him after he's done his work."

"Ziyi, don't say that anymore."

"I know. I'm just complaining to you guys." Xiao Ziyi sat down in his seat listlessly.

Ling Zhi patted his shoulder as a comfort, "Prince, it would be best if you can enter the palace. If the emperor disagrees, don't force it, or you might alert the enemy."

"Also, Your Majesty, please send someone to carefully check the matter in the letter just now."

“As for the people from the Ling family who are in collusion with Concubine Wen, leave them to me.”

Turning to look at Ling Yun, the poor little brother, "Brother Yun, take care of yourself and prepare your men. As long as Xiao Yun can leave the palace, take him away immediately."
