This undoubtedly blocked the fastest way to get information. Now all he could do was wait in the princess's mansion and wait and see.

He Yun looked at Ye Jiu's solemn face and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a chance."

"I feel sorry for my medicine garden. I don't know when I can be reunited with it." Ye Jiu burst into tears.

He Yun, Eleven, and Chen Ying: "......"

"Ahem," He Yun interrupted Ye Jiu, "The most urgent thing is to sneak into the princess's mansion as soon as possible."

"Didn't you just say that there's no time to be impatient?" Ye Jiu retorted. Who told you to interrupt me?

He Yun did not argue with him, "Yin Hao has already found the token, but he did not make it public. I guess he wants to make a big fuss. And he did not enter the palace yesterday. I am afraid he will go to find a doctor right away."

"Can it be cured after the whole thing is cut off?" Eleven's pupils trembled.

"Be quiet," Ye Jiu patted Eleven's head hard.

"It's definitely not curable, but it's a pity that he is the only child in their family." He Yun sneered.

"Yin Hao is not the only one," Chen Ying interrupted.

Everyone was confused. Aren’t all his brothers dead?

"He is one of my brothers. He works for Prime Minister Yin. Prime Minister Yin kept a mistress a few years ago and has a son and a daughter with her. The daughter is eight years old and the son is five years old." Chen Ying continued.

This is good news. It seems that even if they don't take action, they can still turn Kyoto upside down.

He Yun and Ye Jiu looked at each other, but it would be okay to add some fuel to the fire to make it burn more vigorously.

Looking at the two people's smiling faces, Chen Ying shuddered uncontrollably.

"What bad things are you two brothers thinking about now?" Eleven asked. When I saw you two smiling so evilly, I thought we were bad guys.

Sure enough, Eleven got beaten again.

"It seems like it's time for me to make an appearance again," Ye Jiu stroked his non-existent beard, looking calm and composed.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Is it possible?" He Yun frowned.

"Yeah," Ye Jiu said confidently.

"Then what about the mission of sneaking into the princess's mansion?" He Yun poured a bucket of cold water on it.

He didn't want to delay Her Royal Highness the Princess's important affairs.

"Then how do you say we should light the fire?" Ye Jiu sat down with his arms folded.

"Chen Ying, can your people have a say in front of Prime Minister Yin?" He Yun asked after thinking for a moment.

"Okay," Chen Ying nodded. "To be honest, the person next to Prime Minister Yin is Steward Feng from the Yin Mansion, who has been in the Yin Mansion for more than 40 years. And Prime Minister Yin's mistress is also one of ours, and her husband's death seems to be related to Princess Chunshan, so..."

Before He Yun had time to be shocked when he heard that Yin Mansion's housekeeper was also an ally, he heard Chen Ying come out with another bombshell news.

"Who is that child?" He Yun asked in a low voice.

"The daughter was conceived before she became a concubine, and the son is Yin Xiang's." Chen Ying replied in a low voice.

At that time, they took great pains to keep it secret in order to avoid suspicion from Prime Minister Yin.

"After we found out she was pregnant with Wei Yuan's child, we tried to persuade her to leave, but she refused to do so," Chen Ying sighed.

"Wei Yuan? Are you very familiar with the husband of that concubine?" He Yun asked.

Chen Ying nodded, "Wei Yuan was my classmate," he said with a wry smile, "Don't be fooled by my appearance, I was originally a scholar."

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. Chen Ying was originally a scholar, but unfortunately, fate played a trick on him and he lost his loved ones. In order to gain the trust of his enemies, he became a butcher.

Chen Ying was suffocated by the depressing atmosphere. Seeing the sympathetic looks from everyone, Chen Ying smiled nonchalantly, "It's all over."

Finally, he changed the subject and talked about Butler Feng, "In fact, all of us were saved by Uncle Feng. Uncle Feng has been in the Yin Mansion for so long, he knows the dark dealings of the Yin Mansion best."

"I see. That makes things much easier then." He Yunye guessed that Uncle Feng was probably assigned to clean up Yin Hao's mess, so he felt compassion and saved these people.

It was almost noon when He Yun came out of the bookstore. He thought that if he went back quickly he could have the meal his mother cooked, so he quickened his pace.

When they got home, the family sat around the dining table, waiting for He Yun to come back for dinner.

"Uncle Yun, why did you come back just now? I'm starving." Lao Wu Jia Jia pouted and muttered.

He Yun sat next to Jia Jia, touched her head, and said with a smile, "A new bookstore has opened in the east of the city. I forgot the time when I was looking at it. Jia Jia, don't be angry. Uncle will buy you some cloud cakes to make amends later, okay?"

Children are children. When they hear about food, they immediately become happy. "Uncle Yun, you must keep your word."

"Okay, okay," He Yun looked at Jia Jia gently.

Li on the side had a worried look on her face. She knew that her son might be about to make a move and Kyoto would be in turmoil in the future.

"Mother," He Yun looked at Li's worried look and said, "I went out today and met a woman selling herself to bury her father. She was so pitiful that I bought her."

In fact, it was all a show. The woman who sold herself to bury her father was actually Xuan Yelan’s ex-concubine Lu Yue.

When He Yun saw Lu Yue on the street, he was really surprised, because there was no news before that Lu Yue would come.

He Yun received Lu Yue's gaze, immediately took out money and gave it to Lu Yue, and brought the person back.

"Where is that person?" Li asked.

"Come in," He Yun shouted outside the yard.

There was a noise at the door. Li turned around and saw a woman walking in slowly. Although she was covered in dust, it could not hide her beauty. She was wearing a coarse linen dress with several patches on it. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

As soon as Li Shi saw Lu Yue, his heart softened, "Mom, this is Miss Zhou Yue." In order to avoid revealing her identity, Lu Yue used her mother's surname.

Li walked forward, took Lu Yue's hand, and pulled her into the yard.

"Miss Yue has no relatives at home. My son wants Miss Yue to stay. She can also help you take care of the children." He Yun said with a stiff face.

The fact was, Lu Yue insisted on staying. Now everyone had something to do, so she was the only one who accompanied the empress dowager for two days. Seeing her becoming more and more sad, the empress dowager became annoyed and drove her away.

Lu Yue was unwilling to give up, so she asked Xuan Yelan for permission to come to Qi State and said she wanted to help. Considering that there were indeed not enough people at the moment, Xuan Yelan agreed.

Afraid that He Yun would not take her in, she asked Qi Wuyou for a handwritten letter.

"Okay, then you can stay. There's an empty room here." He Yun's eyes turned red when he said that the girl in front of him had no relatives at home. Alas, she was also a poor child.

He Yun looked at Li and suddenly felt very guilty. He didn't lie on purpose.

"Come, sit down and eat." Li gently took Lu Yue's hand and sat down at the table.

"How can this be, madam? I am a servant." Lu Yue let go of her hand in fear, and stood aside rubbing her hands.

She still had to put on a show, and Li looked at He Yun in shock.

He Yun secretly sighed, his head aching, but he had to act with Lu Yue.

"Miss Yue, please explain clearly that you have not signed a contract to sell yourself to me. You are still a free person, so how can you be called a slave?" He Yun said seriously.
