Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Last time, we talked about how the emperor, after listening to Yunxi's report, learned that Ye Ling'er and Princess Rui were secretly colluding and abusing their power for personal gain, completely ignoring the tense situation on the border war, and attempting to put Han Xuan and Yunxi to death. He couldn't help but become furious.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! The most urgent thing is to find out the truth. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, it is not appropriate to make Han Xuan's news public for the time being." Yunxi knew that what she said might not completely convince the emperor. After all, Ye Ling'er was scheming and good at hiding. Therefore, she wisely advised the emperor.

Yunxi knew that she had to act cautiously at this moment. She knew that the emperor was very careful and would not easily draw conclusions about anything. Ye Ling'er was always scheming and difficult to figure out. In this case, if she wanted to prove that what she said was true, she had to have solid evidence.

Therefore, Yunxi decided to secretly investigate and collect more evidence about the collusion between Ye Ling'er and Princess Rui. She believed that as long as she could find enough evidence, she could make the emperor understand the truth of the matter, punish the traitor, and give Han Xuan justice.

At the same time, Yunxi also realized the difficulty of her situation. Since Ye Ling'er dared to be so bold, she must have a strong backing. However, Yunxi was not afraid. She firmly believed that justice would eventually defeat evil. No matter how rough the road ahead was, she was determined to protect justice and eliminate the traitors for the court.

The emperor agreed to Yunxi's suggestion and kept his troops on hold for the time being, waiting for the truth to be revealed.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report. Is it... about Your Majesty?" Yunxi said with a slight hesitation.

"Oh? It's related to me?" The emperor looked at Yunxi suspiciously, wondering why she suddenly asked this.

"Has the emperor been having sex with any concubine recently...without restraint?" Yunxi felt extremely embarrassed to ask this question, after all, she was once his favorite concubine. But for the sake of the emperor's health, she had to ask clearly so that she could better understand the emperor's condition.

The emperor's face changed slightly after hearing Yunxi's words, but soon returned to normal. He coughed and said, "My beloved concubine, please don't worry about my private affairs. But, Yunxi, why do you ask this?"

Yunxi took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, I have heard that excessive indulgence can cause harm to the body, especially since Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and your health is related to the safety of the country. I am just worried about your health, so I dared to ask."

The emperor glanced at Yunxi, with a hint of surprise and emotion in his eyes. He didn't expect Yunxi to care so much about his health, and a warm current surged in his heart. But as an emperor, he couldn't show too weak in front of her.

"Yunxi, you don't have to worry. I know my limits and won't let my body get hurt. But I'm very pleased that you care about me so much." The emperor said with a smile.

Yunxi felt relieved after hearing the emperor's words. She knew that the emperor was a man of his own ideas. Since he said so, he must have paid attention to it. So she said no more and left quietly.

However, Yunxi's heart was still restless. She knew that the emperor shouldered the heavy responsibility of the country, and his health was directly related to the stability and prosperity of the country. She decided to secretly pay attention to the emperor's daily life and find a suitable opportunity to remind him to take care of his health. At the same time, she also hoped that she could help the emperor solve his problems.

After Yunxi left, the emperor summoned the guard Shangguan Yu to come in. He lowered his voice and said to Shangguan Yu solemnly: "I have a confidential mission for you to do... This matter concerns the safety of the country and the reputation of the royal family, and it must not be leaked!" Shangguan Yu nodded solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to complete the mission!"

Afterwards, Shangguan Yu took the order and left. His steps were steady and firm, as if he was carrying the responsibility of the entire country on his shoulders.

At the same time, Gu Tianxing outside the palace was also leading a group of smart and capable subordinates to closely monitor the every move of Princess Rui. They were distributed in every corner, always keeping vigilant and not missing any details. In particular, "Hua Bao Zhai" became their focus.

Gu Tianxing knew that Princess Rui had a special status, and if she had any unusual behavior or colluded with the outside world, it could have a huge impact on the country. Therefore, he had to be cautious and not be negligent in the slightest.

Under this seemingly calm surface, an undercurrent is surging. Shangguan Yu and Gu Tianxing are both silently guarding their duties and working hard for the stability and security of the country...

After receiving the order, Shangguan Yu began to investigate. He used his connections and resources in the palace to collect various clues and intelligence. After an in-depth investigation, he discovered some shocking facts.

It turns out that Ye Ling'er and Princess Rui are not only colluding with each other, but also implicated in some forces of the enemy country. They seem to be planning a huge conspiracy in an attempt to shake the emperor's rule.

Shangguan Yu knew the situation was serious and he had to report the information to the emperor as soon as possible. However, there were spies everywhere in the palace and he had to be extremely careful. Just as Shangguan Yu was about to act, he unexpectedly received a mysterious letter. The words in the letter implied that someone knew his secret and threatened him that if he did not stop the investigation, there would be terrible consequences.

Shangguan Yu was caught in a dilemma, on the one hand, loyalty to the emperor, on the other hand, the safety of himself and his family. But in the end, he decided to stick to his beliefs and continue to serve the emperor.

He destroyed the letter and acted more cautiously, vowing to uncover this shocking conspiracy. Shangguan Yu knew that time was running out, so he accelerated the investigation.

One day, he got a tip that Ye Ling'er and Princess Rui would meet in a courtyard outside the city. He decided to go there in person to find out the truth.

As the night fell, Shangguan Yu sneaked into the courtyard silently like a ghost. He cleverly avoided all the guards and quietly hid in a dark corner, watching every move in the house.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, Ye Ling'er and Princess Rui appeared in sight. They sat together with a group of mysterious people, talking in low voices. Shangguan Yu held his breath and listened attentively. The few words he heard made him startled - these people were actually dissatisfied with the emperor, and even brewing a shocking subversion plan!

Shangguan Yu knew the seriousness of the matter, so he decided to leave immediately and report this shocking information to the emperor. However, just as he turned around, a cold light flashed by, and he secretly cried out in his heart that he was not good, knowing that his whereabouts had been exposed.
