I am Yuan Niaoniao

"Oh, what a rare guest!" Han Junyi frowned as he looked at the person in front of him. This person was Chen Shaoyi, who rarely attended court on weekdays, but unexpectedly appeared here today. Han Junyi thought to himself: Why did this guy come to court today? Is he going to do something again?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Chen Shaoyi's mouth slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile: "Why, the palace is now under the control of Prince Yi? I was just strolling around, but someone put on an air of being the master and taught me a lesson."

Chen Shaoyi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Han Junyi. Han Junyi was so angry that his face turned blue, his lips trembled but he couldn't say a complete sentence. He glared at Chen Shaoyi fiercely, then shook his sleeves vigorously, turned around and walked quickly into the hall.

After entering the hall, Han Junyi tried to calm himself down. He knew that arguing with Chen Shaoyi would be useless and might cause more trouble. So he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and walked to his seat. Chen Shaoyi followed him into the hall as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, I have recently discovered that many foreigners have appeared in the imperial city. This is a very serious matter!" Fu Guoduo stepped forward with a serious expression, bowed and spoke to the emperor.

When Han Junwu heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at Han Junyi beside him, as if asking him if he knew about this.

Han Junyi saw this and quickly stepped out to explain, "Father, most of these foreigners are just here to visit Dadu, and they don't have any other unusual behavior. They came in a hurry and left quickly, so they shouldn't pose a threat to our dynasty."

However, Fu Guoduo disagreed and continued, "Your Majesty, although it seems that these foreigners have no ill intentions, there is no guarantee that there may be spies or people with ulterior motives among them. Our dynasty has very few contacts with foreigners and does not know their details. If we do not take precautions, there may be unexpected changes!"

At this time, the Guanglu Doctor, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up and said, "Although what Governor Fu said makes sense, there is no need to panic. Dadu is the capital of our dynasty. It is vast and prosperous, and it will naturally attract people from all walks of life to come and visit. As long as we strengthen the city defense patrols and closely monitor the actions of these foreigners, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Chen Shaoyi looked at the Guanglu Doctor. A civil official dared to refute the Governor. It seemed that someone really wanted to deceive Han Junwu. Then he looked at Han Junyi. Is it you? Han Junyi, do you want to sit in that position?

As if he heard Chen Shaoyi's inner thoughts, Han Junyi raised his head and met Chen Shaoyi's gaze, then he looked away guiltily, then stepped forward and said: "Your son will increase patrols and add more manpower. If there are any suspicious people, they will be arrested and interrogated immediately! Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the sudden increase in the number of these foreigners." Han Junyi's move was nothing more than an attempt to dispel Han Junwu's suspicion. After all, what Han Junwu cared most about was border defense. In addition, he was now the general guarding the city. If he allowed a large number of outsiders to infiltrate without reason, it would undoubtedly be considered dereliction of duty.

"Okay." Han Junwu narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Junyi, and his suspicious eyes gradually faded. After all, he was his son. Who else could he trust if not him? Moreover, his position would be passed on to him sooner or later, but it would be when he wanted to and not at other inappropriate times.

Chen Shaoyi was not here to watch the father and son perform, so he stepped forward and said, "Does Prince Yi know about the Yi people?"

"Yi tribe?" Han Junyi looked at Chen Shaoyi with a puzzled look. "I've never heard of it."

"I've never heard of it. Let me tell you, Your Majesty. Several foreigners who were causing trouble were caught in the city recently. They were the wives of the second sons of the Yi people. The Yi people are good at using poison and can poison people without leaving any trace during a fight, making them hard to guard against. According to the interrogation, people of all ethnic groups came to the Central Plains just to settle down here. I don't think this is a simple trip. I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will invite them here, and the consequences will be disastrous." Chen Shaoyi slightly raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Han Junyi with a smile.

"If it is just as Prince Chen said, please rest assured, father, I will eradicate these ungrateful foreigners and clean them up completely." Han Junyi dared not speak out, but he knew that Chen Shaoyi had no good intentions when he came to court.

"Then please ask Prince Yi to send more people to patrol." Chen Shaoyi smiled and turned to leave the hall, not caring whether Han Junwu said to adjourn the court. Han Junwu was used to it and didn't want to argue with him. If more than half of the Jinwu Guards had not been lost in his hands, he would have been punished for disrespect, not to mention that he now knew that he had the Wu army that he had subdued before and an unknown number of secret guards. If he tore his face, he might not get any benefits, so he had to endure it for a while.

After the court was dismissed, Nanny Gui, who was beside Zhen Luoyi, came to the front of the hall and stopped Han Junyi who was about to leave.

"Your Highness Prince Yi, the Queen wants you to come over." Nanny Gui stepped forward and said with her head lowered.

"Okay, please lead the way, Madam Gui." Seeing that it was the madam beside Zhen Luoyi, Han Junyi did not refuse and followed her to Zhen Luoyi's palace.

"Mother, is there something you need from me?" Nanny Gui opened the door and invited Han Junyi in, then she closed the door and stood guard outside.

"Yier," seeing that it was Han Junyi, Zhen Luoyi quickly stood up and held Han Junyi's hand, "You've been too tired from night duty recently. How come you've lost so much weight?"

"Maybe I haven't eaten enough recently, don't worry too much, mother." Han Junyi helped Zhen Luoyi sit down, "Is there anything else, mother? Recently, I have been busy with many things, so it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. Although I want to, I can't spend more time with you, mother. Please understand me, mother."

"I know, mother knows, I'll tell you for a while." Zhen Luoyi nodded and lowered her voice and said, "Does Yi'er know the Yi people?"

"My queen mother also knows about the Yi people?" Han Junyi looked at Zhen Luoyi with some surprise. How could a concubine in the deep palace know about the foreign peoples among the common people?

"I know, and my mother can also build a bridge with the Yi people to help you along the way." Zhen Luoyi said softly, "Your father's health is getting worse day by day. Although the Imperial Hospital has kept it a secret, it cannot be hidden from me, your mother. Your father may not have much time left, but he has not yet issued an edict, and has not handed over the real power to you to study. Your mother is afraid that some things will happen suddenly and it will be too late, so your mother secretly wants to pave the way for Yi'er in advance."

"Mother!" Han Junyi looked at Zhen Luoyi in surprise. Although this was what he thought, he didn't know how to describe this feeling after hearing it from his mother's mouth: "Mother, I know my limits. Please don't act rashly. My father is fine. Please don't mention this matter again! I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first." In order to hide his panic, Han Junyi quickly left Zhen Luoyi's palace.

"Yier! Yier!" Seeing Han Junyi fleeing from his palace, Zhen Luoyi shook his head and sighed. After all, he was his father, so it was understandable that he couldn't bring himself to do it. Kindness couldn't take that position, Zhen Luoyi knew that truth very well, and with Han Junwu treating her like this now, she couldn't blame herself for being cruel!

Chen Shaoyi on the roof heard the conversation between the two without missing a word. As expected, the Yi people had connections with the people in the palace, but I didn't expect it to be Zhen Luoyi. She is really capable. Chen Shaoyi smiled disdainfully, Han Junwu, Han Junwu, do you know? It turns out that not only us, but also your bedmate and your good son, all want your life.

After coming out of Zhen Luoyi's palace, Han Junyi was a little distracted. Everyone was talking about this issue. He turned around and looked back at the magnificent palace, as if he saw himself sitting there. Then he thought again, for so many years, Han Junwu had always treated him as a successor, how could he do that? He was his biological father! Which one was more important, the throne or family affection? Han Junyi was about to explode his head. He hurried back to Prince Yi's mansion to find Wen Zili.

"Mr. Wen, please teach me how to make a decision." Han Junyi told Wen Zili all his thoughts and Zhen Luoyi's words. "On one side is my biological father, and on the other side is supreme power."

After hearing this, Wen Zili frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Since ancient times, there have been countless disputes over the throne. Your Majesty might as well think about it carefully. The current emperor is in poor health and seriously ill, and it is already difficult for him to handle government affairs. If Your Majesty can step forward and take on this important task in advance, so that the emperor can rest assured and spend his old age, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"So, what Mr. Wen means is..." Han Junyi's heart moved. In fact, deep in his heart, he was also longing for someone to point out his true feelings.

"Your Majesty is right! I agree with you. However, in my opinion, the prince is kind-hearted and filial, so this matter may need a gradual process to be properly handled." Wen Zili thought for a while and continued, "At present, the most important thing is to bring a grandson to the emperor. In this way, the royal family can have successors and the people's hearts can be stabilized. At the same time, it will also help the prince gradually adapt to his new role and responsibilities, and show his outstanding talents and leadership style in the process. I believe that everything will fall into place when the time is right."

"Grandson?" Han Junyi frowned, thinking to himself. Jin Jingni actually drank the contraceptive soup afterwards, which made him feel very troubled. It seemed that it was becoming more and more difficult to have a grandson.

He couldn't help but think of the time he spent with Jin Jingni a few days ago. However, when he learned that she was taking contraceptive soup, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on his heart, instantly cooling his originally ardent expectations.

"I'll go back and think about it..." Han Junyi muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry. He knew that having an heir was of great significance to the royal family, but now faced with such a situation, he didn't know what to do.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen, for clearing up my doubts." With a heart full of doubts and uneasiness, Han Junyi turned and left. His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

.....................

"Han Junwu is under attack from both sides." After hearing the news brought back by Chen Shaoyi, Yuan Niaoniao couldn't help but want to laugh: "If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. We have to think of a way to help them. And now the situation has exceeded our original expectations. It seems that we have to change the plan. We have to discuss it with Xueyao."

"Well, Niao Niao, you can make the decision. I will give you my full support." Chen Shaoyi said with a smile.

"And there's the Yi woman." Yuan Niaoniao suddenly thought of something: "You said the Yi people have contacts with the queen, so the person behind it must be Zhen Zhi who is connecting with the Yi people. If we catch Zhen Zhi, we can cut off the contact between the two, and then we can connect with both ends separately. Do you think it's possible?"

Chen Shaoyi shook his head and said, "I don't think things are that simple. There are some things I haven't figured out yet. Besides, Zhen Zhi can contact and cooperate with the Yi people. There must be some opportunity. At least until we understand this, we can act as you said."

"It seems that this woman in red may become the key to our breaking through the current predicament! Of course, this also depends on what position she occupies in the heart of the second young master. If she is important enough, we can not only pry the required information from her, but we may even be able to use her to lure the Yi people into the trap." Yuan Niao Niao said with a slight smile.

"Yes, that's quite true." Chen Shaoyi nodded slightly to show his agreement. After a moment's thought, he continued, "In that case, why not go and see how the interrogation of Qingxin and Mingxiao is going."

"Okay." Yuan Niaoniao nodded in response.

So, the two of them went to the private prison where the woman in red was imprisoned.

"How?" Chen Shaoyi looked at Ming Xiao.

"He won't say anything and won't take any threats." Ming Xiao waved his hand: "He's a ruthless person."
