Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

On the other side, in Fengqi Palace——

The Queen and Concubine Yun were sleeping soundly on the phoenix couch.

Ever since Concubine Yun had brought the Queen into her camp, she had been staying at Fengqi Palace every day, and her relationship with the Queen was no longer the same as before. As for Yun Garden, she herself did not want to live there, and had even ordered its demolition.

After Yun Feng went to find Xiao Zuochen, a figure was also sneaking into Fengqi Palace.

Unlike Xiao Zuochen, Concubine Yun knew martial arts, so when the figure approached, Concubine Yun immediately stood up and stretched out her hand, trying to counter the man. The man dodged Concubine Yun's attack. After the two exchanged a few moves in silence, Concubine Yun retreated to the bedside, and the figure retreated to the table.

Concubine Yun looked at the figure and smiled gently, then she let down her guard and turned to look at Bai Qingning on the bed. Bai Qingning was still sleeping soundly at this time, and was not affected by the fight between the two of them. Concubine Yun leaned over and stretched out her hand to cover the corner of the quilt for her, her movements were gentle, as if she was afraid of waking her up.

"Empress Yun!"

The figure spoke, as if to remind Concubine Yun that he was still here and should put himself first. But Concubine Yun's actions were not affected by him. She reached out to cover the corner of the quilt before looking at him, as if to suppress her voice.

"Go out and say it!"

The two of them came to the courtyard, and when Concubine Yun came out, she also pulled a shawl to cover herself. With the moonlight, it was clear that the person who came was Yue Wu, and the little maid who was on duty had already been knocked unconscious by him with a knife.

"What are you doing in the palace? Didn't I ask you to look for the third prince outside?"

Concubine Yun was the first to question him.

"How dare you ask me why I entered the palace? Why don't you tell me first, why did Emperor Mingren disappear? Why did Xiao Zuochen come back again? Didn't you say that everything was under your control? Why did something like this happen again? And now the rumors outside the palace are not good for you either. Can you still fulfill your promise to me?"

Yue Wu's aura suddenly turned cold, and his gaze towards Concubine Yun also turned cold. Concubine Yun glanced at him and then looked away, as if avoiding something.

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. But you have seen the current situation, and I have to solve the current problems first. As for the disappearance of Emperor Mingren, it is only his body that is missing. I have already said that his soul has attached itself to someone else."

"Others? Who are others?"

Yue Wu frowned, and suddenly thought of something. His expression became excited, and he stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Yun's arm.

"The Third Prince? Is it the Third Prince? You kept asking me to look for him!"

Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows and shook off Yue Wu's hand. Only then did Yue Wu realize that she had crossed the line.

"I am not sure. I only suspect the Third Prince. Weren't you there at the time? When I arrived at the altar, the Third Prince and you were already there."

"But I don't know much about soul-swapping. I only know that the emperor originally wanted Prince Yun. After Prince Yun was rescued by the third prince that day, the third prince said he wanted to go to the emperor to plead guilty. When I took him there, I didn't notice anything unusual. Until we were on the altar, the emperor had already fallen into a coma. Seeing this, the third prince followed me back to the palace obediently."

"Emperor Mingren fell into a coma because the soul-swapping technique had already been performed, and his soul had already left his body, so he could not wake up. If the soul is away from the body for too long, it will slowly dissipate. In order to survive, he must find someone to attach himself to as soon as possible. But if this person is not purified by the technique at the beginning, he and Emperor Mingren's soul will fight against each other and compete for the body. The safe way is to find someone who is connected to him by blood, so that the blood can be suppressed. According to this situation, the third prince at that time was the best candidate, so after returning to the palace, I have been reminding you to keep an eye on the third prince!"

"I was careless. I didn't know there was such a connection. What should I do now? I haven't found any news about the third prince."

Yue Wu frowned. He had no idea where to start.

"Do you know how Xiao Zuochen came back successfully this time?"

Yue Wu didn't know and could only shake his head.

"He has an imperial edict written by Emperor Mingren himself. I have read it. It is indeed the handwriting of Emperor Mingren, and it was indeed written not long ago."

"Emperor Mingren's handwriting? Does that mean Emperor Mingren woke up in the middle? Is it in Prince Yun's hands now? "

Concubine Yun was speechless.

"This can only mean that the person possessed by Emperor Mingren is with Xiao Zuochen. If what I said before is correct, then it means that the Third Prince is now hidden by Xiao Zuochen! Mu Dai, who entered the palace with Xiao Zuochen today, has checked and did not find the Third Prince, so he must be hiding somewhere else."

"So what should I do now? Investigate His Royal Highness Prince Yun first? Although the emperor's soul has left his body, I don't want his body to be taken away by others. I still want to find his..."

"I know!"

Concubine Yun was already a little fed up with talking to Yue Wu, a brainless man.

"No one wants his body but himself!"

Yue Wu was stunned for a moment, then finally understood what Concubine Yun meant.

"So as long as I find the Third Prince, I will find Emperor Mingren's heart and body, right?"

"Ah."

Concubine Yun nodded with some disgust, and then told Yue Wu again about his current mission.

"So your mission now is to find the Third Prince. As long as you can find the Third Prince, maybe everything will be back on track."

"I understand. I will go investigate the places that King Yun has been to before!"

Yue Wu finished speaking, and without waiting for Concubine Yun to say anything else, he used his Qinggong to leave. Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows and looked at his back as he left, shaking her head speechlessly, muttering to herself.

"What kind of drug did Emperor Mingren give you to make you so devoted?"

Concubine Yun was thinking about something when a gentle woman's voice came from behind her.

"Why are you up? And standing alone in the yard?"

Concubine Yun turned around and saw the empress, wearing only a thin inner garment, holding the door with one hand. She looked a little more gentle than usual without any makeup on. Concubine Yun looked at her and her eyes also softened.

"Nothing, I just heard some birds singing outside and came out to take a look."

Concubine Yun walked towards the queen, took off her shawl and put it on her.

"It's windy outside. You should wear more clothes when you are standing in the wind."

The queen smiled bitterly and tightened her cloak.

"I'm not standing outside, why are you so worried? You, please come in quickly. It's windy late at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

Concubine Yun smiled and nodded, letting the Queen take her arm and go back to bed to rest.
