After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Even Xia Yu, who attended court every day, did not notice anything unusual in the palace, which shows that the matter was done extremely secretly.

How could Xun Zhan, a man who could only enter the Golden Throne Hall for important matters, know the imperial palace better than him?

"How did you know about the incident in the palace?" He looked Xun Zhan up and down and said, "You colluded with Wang Heng without telling me?"

Frowning, aggrieved: "Xiaojiu's words are really harsh, is this how you use collusion?"

"Oh..." The ending tone was a little long: "My teacher taught me that. You can go and settle the score with him."

"Hehehe." He put his head on Xia Yu's shoulder and said, "With Shen Jinmo, if it wasn't for Xie Nanxing, how could he come to me?"

"So someone deliberately reminded you?"

"Shen Jinmo hasn't been to the palace for several days. Master Jiyue of the Shen Mansion came to Tian Ding last night to ask for help."

Xia Yu paused while serving Xun Zhan: "Xie Nanxing is back?"

Xun Zhan smiled and hooked his arm around Xia Yu's neck: "My Xiaojiu is really smart. My Xiaojiu is the smartest boy I have ever met."

Feeling comfortable with Xun Zhan's praise, Xia Yu nodded seriously: "Of course, don't you even look at who my teacher is?"

"My old man is willing to let you go suddenly because Xie Nanxing used Mo An to bring the matter to his attention."

Each generation has its own mission. Everyone can tell Xun Xiang about Xia Che's affairs, except the brothers Xun Zhan and Xun Lan.

Choose a master and be loyal to him.

As sons, they cannot persuade their fathers to betray the Lord.

Xun Xiang is the current leader of the Xun clan, and no one can surpass him.

No matter where you go and what backlash you suffer, it will all be up to the head of the Xun family.

The decision can only be made by Xun Xiang.

The road can only be led by Xun Xiang.

Wrapping Xun Zhan with leather, Xia Yu wiped Xun Zhan's hair with a handkerchief and asked, "Is Wang Heng in danger while being trapped in the palace?"

Xun Zhan was a little unsure, so he could only state the facts: "The Imperial Guard Commander and the Dark Guard Division are both in his hands. If he doesn't want to enter the palace, no one can stop him."

"Since he left Xie Nanxing behind and entered the palace alone, he must have some ulterior motive. Maybe he wants to anger Xia Hong to death."

Xia Yu thought about it and felt that it was very likely: "Can we add fuel to the fire by then?"

Xun Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "When the time comes, I will carry a stone on my shoulder and hold your hand with my left hand, and we will use the stone to smash him to death together."

Xia Yu didn't take the words used to coax a child seriously.

But between husband and wife, everything should be discussed.

So Xia Yu still cooperated and nodded seriously.

"It's clear from one look that Imperial Doctor Shu is not someone who can keep his word. The overall situation is still undecided. To avoid unnecessary trouble, we can't move anyone in Prince Ming's Palace now."

"Things that can protect oneself should also be carefully planned."

Xia Yu is not afraid of Xia Hong, nor is he afraid of assassins.

There was only one person on his mind at this moment: "What about my mother?"

"The princess is here, and Marquis Wu'an is here too. You can't expect to handle everything by yourself. We have people behind us now, and we can try to rely on them."

His eyes were stained by candlelight, and Xia Yu was just as stubborn as when they first met.

He doesn't want to, and won't, become someone who always needs protection from others.

"I also want to be their support. We are a family."

The three words "family" sounded inexplicably soft when they came out of Xia Yu's mouth.

Xun Zhan's eyes turned red when he heard this.

He put his arms around Xia Yu's waist and wiped away the tears that were falling.

He accompanied Xia Yu in a plot, helped Xia Yu break free from the cage of the palace, and was unknowingly used by Shen Jinmo to pave a lot of ways for Xia Che.

Xun Zhan had regrets that he chose to retreat when he was only one step away from imperial power.

He was afraid that Xia Yu would regret it one day.

It is much more difficult to seize the country from Xia Hong than from Xia Che.

Only now did Xun Zhan feel completely relieved.

His Xiaojiu now has a family, many powerful family members who will protect him, accompany him and allow him to do whatever he wants in the country. This is the biggest gain along the way.

I became soft-hearted and my calculations became lax.

Xun Zhan rubbed Xia Yu's chest gently.

"Then listen to our Xiaojiu. Let's work together to become their backer."

"Whether I have a family or not, Master is the most important."

"You have such a sweet mouth."

Xun Zhan wouldn't mind that his Xiaojiu had a family.

Xun Zhan, I hope there are many people in this world who can love his Xiaojiu with him.

However, his little Jiu loves him the most.

If these people wanted to compete with him for Xia Yu, Xun Zhan would elope with Xia Yu.

--

The fact that Tian Ding paid someone to find out Shen Jinmo's whereabouts was like pouring oil on the fire, and the news that Shen Jinmo was lost in the palace spread throughout the palace in an instant.

Everyone in the palace, whether it was the secret guards, palace maids or eunuchs, became extremely cautious.

Under the pretext of carrying out their duties, everyone was conscientiously searching for any clues of Shen Jinmo's presence.

An operation to search and rescue Shen Jinmo was being carried out throughout the palace, behind Xia Hong's back.

Passing by each other, two palace maids whispered to each other: "Any news from your side?"

"No."

"We don't have one there either."

"Change place and keep looking."

"Let's work together to try to keep our heads tomorrow."

If they fail to find Shen Jinmo, rescue Shen Jinmo from being held hostage, and fail to pass Xia Hong's new round of tests, all of them will have their heads chopped off by Xia Hong.

The chief eunuch passed the news from the Golden Palace through the junior eunuch, and then hurried back to the bedroom again.

But he found that Xia Hong, who was lying in the bedroom just now, was nowhere to be seen.

With a glimmer of hope in his eyes, the eunuch rushed out of the palace and found the contact person again.

"The emperor was here just now, but he was gone when I left. He must have missed Lord Shen too much, so he went to see him."

"Spread the word outside that Lord Shen must be around the Golden Palace. Let those who have finished their work search for various mechanisms in the Golden Palace."

These words were like a tonic, which instantly boosted the morale of the palace rescuers who were somewhat lonely.

The lights in the underground palace were on all day and night. In order to prevent Shen Jinmo from getting emotional and blowing his horn twice, which would wake up the poisonous insect in Xia Hong's body, he was now placed in a dark room in the corner of the underground palace.

Every day these secret guards have to serve Shen Jinmo like a living ancestor, taking care of his food, drink, defecation and urination.

After all, if something is not satisfactory, Xia Hong will be the one who suffers.

Based on Shen Jinmo's understanding of Xia Hong, Xia Hong must have known by now that the farther away the insect is from him, the less it will be affected by Shen Jinmo.

Now she is still willing to coax him with good food, drink and kind words. Naturally, it is because Doctor Shu has not yet developed the method to remove the poison.

Therefore, the person who lived just across the room from Jinmo was Doctor Shu, who would take time out every day to come and talk to him.

There was a knock on the heavy iron door of the dark room, followed by the sound of a key unlocking the door.

Doctor Shu walked into the room holding a candle, lighting up the darkness: "Master Shen, is this the Southern Xinjiang Gu or the Northern Xinjiang Gu you raise?"

Shen Jinmo, who usually couldn't utter a word, spoke today.

"Do you have a pen and paper?"
