The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Although Xie Zhichan lived in the hot spring villa, he also sent Dan Feng and He Ying's men to keep an eye on the wind direction in the capital.

Knowing that the situation in the capital was becoming increasingly tense, he sent people to the manor of Prince Yan's mansion to bring Prince Yan Pei Yuan to the hot spring villa.

At the same time, Xie Zhichan sent Heying's men back to Beijing to inform the residences of Duke Weiguo, Zhang Junze, and Censor Liu, asking them to make preparations early.

The Duke of Weiguo was a coward, and now that Xie's mother was pregnant again, she was looking forward to the birth of a legitimate son, so she dared not stay in Kyoto to stir up trouble. Even his great merit as a follower of the emperor and his enormous wealth did not make him lose his mind. He quickly took Xie's mother out of Kyoto, saying that it was not easy for Hang to have this pregnancy, and they wanted to find a manor with better scenery for Hang to rest during the pregnancy.

In fact, he didn't need to make an excuse, because no one in the capital cared about the whereabouts of a doctor of the Ministry of Rites like him.

Lord Zhang and Censor Liu were both court officials, so they naturally had to stay in Kyoto. But they also quietly sent the women in the mansion out of the capital.

Hua Manxi was the only one left in the Hua Mansion, and the rest were just some old servants. They didn't have any weaknesses that could be exploited.

After listening to He Yi's report, Xie Zhichan did some calculations in his mind and felt that this was all he could do for Pei Yi, to help him protect the people he wanted to protect.

He continued to send people to inquire about the news in Kyoto.

Dan Feng came back from outside that day, feeling worried.

When Xie Zhichan saw Dan Feng's expression, he knew that something must have happened in the capital.

Asked Danfeng: "What happened in the capital?"

Dan Feng was a little hesitant. The Crown Prince's wife was now pregnant with the young prince. Although he was stupid, he knew that a pregnant woman should not worry too much, so he was a little hesitant whether to say it out.

Xie Zhichan said to Dan Feng in a cold voice: "You should know that victory on the battlefield is not just on the battlefield. The reason why I stayed and did not go to the battlefield with the prince was to guard this rear area for him. If you did not tell me something and caused me to make a wrong prediction, thus putting the prince in danger, it will all be your fault, Dan Feng."

Dan Feng immediately knelt down and apologized, "I dare not, it was my fault that I thought too much."

Xie Zhichan knew that Dan Feng was left behind by Pei Yi to protect him, so he was quite tolerant of him. Seeing that he knew he was wrong, he said in a normal tone, "If you have anything to say, please get up and say it."

Dan Feng stood up and replied, "The news from the capital is that the emperor is dying. It happened in the past two days. Concubine De poisoned the crown prince, the queen, and the queen mother, and put everyone in the East Palace, Yikun Palace, and Shoukang Palace under house arrest. She also invited all the women from the families of important ministers to the palace, saying that they were praying for the emperor, but in fact they were under house arrest, forcing the ministers to stand on the side of the King of Qin."

Xie Zhichan continued to ask: "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Dan Feng paused, and continued, "The Cao family captured the father and son of the He family and put them under house arrest, forcing the King of Qin to release the crown prince, the queen, and the queen mother. The King of Qin refused, so the people of the Cao family killed the father and son of the He family, which gave the King of Qin an excuse to lead his troops to capture all the people of the Cao family."

Xie Zhichan asked: "Has the King of Qin ascended the throne?"

Dan Feng shook his head and said, "The emperor has not yet passed away. Several old ministers in the court have desperately urged the imperial concubine and others to release the prince and restore the Li family's legitimacy."

Xie Zhichan smiled bitterly. Even at this time, the old stubborn people are still stubborn.

What is orthodoxy? Only those who can truly govern the world and make the people stable are orthodox. Unfortunately, the two black-eyed chickens in the palace are not orthodox.

At this moment, He Yi suddenly came with a message, saying that Lord Zhang had something to bring to the Crown Prince's wife.

Xie Zhichan asked someone to bring He Yi in.

He Yi handed a piece of rag in his hand to Xie Zhichan and said that everything Lord Zhang said was on it.

Xie Zhichan took a look and saw that there was only one word "four" written on the rag. He immediately understood that what Lord Zhang wanted must be the fourth prince.

She had thought before whether she should remind Lord Zhang to take the Fourth Prince out of the palace, but then she thought that he was a prince after all and his identity was sensitive. It would be difficult to succeed at this critical moment. She didn't want to make things worse and force Lord Zhang to take risks, so she didn't say anything.

What's more, the Fourth Prince poses no threat to the throne. No matter who comes to the throne between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin, neither of them would want to take his life.

Now it seems that she was too optimistic.

He immediately said to He Yi, "Take He Ying's men and sneak into the palace. Make sure to bring the Fourth Prince out."

After He Yi left, Xie Zhichan waited for news from the Fourth Prince in the Hot Spring Villa.

By evening, He Yi came up the mountain with a man covered in blood and a little boy of five or six years old.

He met Xie Zhichan and said, "Please ask the Crown Princess to save him."

When Xie Zhichan saw that the man had a pale face and no beard, he knew that he was a eunuch. He must be Zhou Yuan, the top martial arts scholar who castrated himself for Ying Fei and entered the palace to become the personal eunuch of the fourth prince.

Without even taking Zhou Yuan's pulse, Xie Zhichan took out a life-extending pill from his pocket and fed it to Zhou Yuan.

Only after he had secured his life did he reach out to feel his pulse.

I knew that this person was at the gates of hell. If he hadn't met her, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer.

He has been on high alert all the way, and he probably won't relax until the Fourth Prince reaches a safe place.

The fourth prince held Zhou Yuan's hand and cried, "Uncle Zhou, you must hold on. I have been without a mother since I was a child. You are the only one by my side. In my eyes, you are closer to me than my father. You can't abandon me."

Xie Zhichan said to Mai Sui, "Take the Fourth Prince downstairs to wash up first and let him eat something."

Then he said to Yue Yan, "Carry the person to the guest room."

At first, Li Xun was reluctant to let go of Zhou Yuan's hand.

Xie Zhichan said: "If you want him to die, then just keep holding him and I won't save him."

When Li Xun heard that the man could be saved, he immediately turned from sadness to joy, kowtowed to Xie Zhichan and said, "I know you are Uncle Pei's Crown Princess. Please, save Uncle Zhou. Li Xun is willing to repay you with a gift of grass and a ring in the future."

Xie Zhichan said: "You just need to cooperate well first, which will be my reward. Go with Aunt Mai Sui first."

After the Fourth Prince left, Yue Yan carried Zhou Yuan to a guest room.

Xie Zhichan asked Yueyan to guard the door, and after giving the person anesthesia, he took the person into the medical space.

Zhou Yuan had many knife wounds on his body, and his life was in danger mainly due to blood loss. Fortunately, there was enough blood in the blood bank in the space.

After Xie Zhichan started the blood transfusion procedure, he sutured his wound.

Two hours later, she brought the person out of the space, and she was exhausted.

After returning to the room, she lay down on the chaise longue.

Xiao Liu'er stuffed a pillow behind her waist and asked her to lean against the head of the bed to listen to Dan Feng's report on the situation in the capital.

"The King of Qin poisoned the Crown Prince in the palace and used the people of the Cao family to force the Queen and the Queen Mother to recognize his position as the crown prince. The Queen Mother issued an imperial decree to make the King of Qin the Crown Prince, and he would ascend the throne immediately after the Emperor passed away. According to the information we found, the idea of ​​the Software Crown Prince and others was given to the King of Qin by Lord Lu, and the poison that killed the Crown Prince was given by Qin Baiwei. Qin Baiwei also claimed that she supported the King of Qin's ascension to the throne on behalf of the Crown Prince."

After hearing the news from the capital, Xie Zhichan stood up and walked out of the room. He took a long breath and said to Pei Yi in his heart, "Pei Nandu, you have to come back soon. I can't clean up this mess for you."
