Night falls.

Pingkangfang, in a room on the second floor of Moxiang Bookstore.

Yin Yushan was holding a book and reading it attentively. When she heard the news reported by the spy, a look of astonishment appeared on her usually cold face.

"The prince's leg injury has completely healed?"

Although she had no control over the situation in the palace, the leg disease of the much-anticipated Crown Prince Li Chengqian was basically within her sight.

How come the prince's legs suddenly got better without any warning?

The spy continued, "Miss Yin, the new Imperial Censor Tang Lin sent someone to deliver a secret report saying that His Majesty intends to bring Duke of Yun Zhang Liang back to Chang'an for interrogation in the near future."

"If the King of Wei doesn't seize the time to start a rebellion and replace the weapons and armor in the Luozhou arsenal, I'm afraid we will lose the important power of the Duke of Yun!"

Yin Yushan frowned slightly when she heard what the spy said.

After thinking for a moment, she immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to the spy, and gave him instructions.

"Ride as fast as you can and deliver this secret letter to the King of Wei!"

The spy took the secret letter and responded with a serious expression.

"As ordered!"

Having said that, he immediately left Moxiang Bookstore and disappeared into the twilight.

Yin Yushan sat there in a daze for a moment, then picked up a pen to write a secret letter and sealed it skillfully.

Then she walked out of the study with the secret letter and whispered instructions to the maid Xiao Cui who was standing by the side.

"Xiao Cui, give this secret letter to Uncle Pang and ask him to deliver it to Prince Consort Du in person now."

Although the guards in Prince Wei's Mansion all obeyed her orders, Yin Yushan knew very well that these people in Prince Wei's Mansion were more concerned about monitoring her every move.

Whenever she had close contact with other men, these guards would immediately pass the news to the King of Wei.

"promise!"

The maid Xiao Cui nodded, hid the letter in her chest, and then walked down to the lobby on the first floor with a calm expression.

...

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

Du He and Li Yi were lying in bed chatting at night when suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock."

As the knock on the door sounded, the maid's clear voice was soon heard.

"My Lord, someone sent me a secret letter. Do you want to read it now?"

After hearing what the maid said, Du He immediately turned over and sat up from the bed, then whispered to Li Yi.

"Yier, this sealed letter was sent by Pei Xingjian. I have to go out and take a look."

He knew very well that this secret letter must have been sent by that woman Yin Yushan. After all, she was the only one who could send a secret letter to him so late at night.

As for Pei Xingjian, he seldom sent secret letters, and usually reported important information to him in person.

When Li Yi heard that it was the prince's staff looking for her husband, she didn't think much about it, but smiled and spoke softly.

"Husband, then you should go early and come back early."

Today her husband brought her back some great news. Her eldest brother's leg injury has completely healed and he can walk normally again.

Li Yi knew that his elder brother's leg injury had healed, which meant that his position as crown prince would become more and more stable.

As my eldest brother's most trusted aide, my husband will definitely be one of the most powerful ministers after my eldest brother successfully ascends the throne.

After Du He walked out of the room, he took the secret letter handed to him by the maid with a calm expression, and walked into the study before opening it.

With the help of dim candlelight, Du He quickly read the short secret letter.

"The King of Wei is about to start a rebellion. I have a hundred guards from the King of Wei's palace with me. I hope Mr. Du can help me."

"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recovered from his leg disease, his ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion. I would like to congratulate Master Du in advance on his future as the most powerful man in the world."

"Please don't forget me, Master Du, and take me as your concubine."

"Yushan has a complicated mind!"

The core content of this secret letter is the first sentence. Yin Yushan is currently being monitored by Li Tai's soldiers, and there are actually hundreds of them.

If Li Tai decided to rebel, he would definitely ask his guards to send Yin Yushan back to Xiangzhou in advance.

Du He needs to protect Yin Yushan at the last moment before Li Tai rebels to prevent her from being taken back by Li Tai.

Du He put the secret letter on the candle flame beside him and burned it, then frowned and thought for a moment.

After he figured out what to do, he walked out of the study with a calm expression.

The next day.

After the court meeting, Du He did not return to the Ministry of Works immediately, but went to the Ministry of Personnel's Seal Department to find Pei Xingjian.

In a closed room.

Du He whispered to Pei Xingjian, "Keep your promise. Send someone to keep an eye on the Moxiang Bookstore in Pingkangfang, and focus on protecting the owner of the bookstore, Yin Yushan."

"Besides that, we must also pay special attention to the people from Moxiang Bookstore. They are basically the guards of the Prince of Wei's Palace."

Then Du He told Pei Xingjian in detail about the cooperation he had reached privately with Yin Yushan, as well as the situation Yin Yushan would face next.

After a cup of tea.

Pei Xingjian said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Minister Du, I will definitely send someone to protect your future concubine."

"But the Prince of Wei's palace has many guards, so I'm afraid Minister Du will need to send a few experts over."

Well...

Du He looked at Pei Xingjian, whose face was serious, and actually said such a thing. He smiled and said softly.

"Shou Yue, you are being naughty now!"

However, he did not deny his relationship with Yin Yushan. This beautiful ice-cold woman had already been chosen by him in advance.

"hey-hey."

Pei Xingjian chuckled twice, then spoke with a serious expression.

"Minister Du, the King of Wei has sent more guards to keep an eye on Miss Yin, while the spies currently recruited by the East Palace are relatively average in strength."

"If the King of Wei's men forcibly take Miss Yin away, I'm afraid our people may not be able to stop them in time."

"To be on the safe side, I'm afraid Du Shangshu will need to send a few experts over."

Du He had thought this problem through last night.

He whispered, "Keep your promise. The King of Wei has not yet officially taken action. I'm afraid there won't be much change within a month."

"During this period of time, you only need to send someone to keep an eye on Moxiang Bookstore. I will send someone to protect Yin Yushan in advance if there is any next move."

That woman Yin Yushan has a small group of guards, and Li Tai now trusts her very much.

Before Li Tai launched his rebellion, he would definitely send someone to inform Yin Yushan in advance and ask her to lead her men back to Xiangzhou.

Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "Okay!"

After finishing the business, Du He looked at the elegant and handsome Pei Xingjian, then asked with a smile.

"Shou Yue, when will you and Hou Haitang's wedding be held?"

It is already the beginning of May, and it will be the middle of the year in a blink of an eye. If Li Tai rebels later, Hou Junji and Pei Xingjian will probably be too busy to have time to prepare for the wedding.

Pei Xingjian shyly replied, "Minister Du, Haitang and I are scheduled to get married on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, which is exactly one month away."

In fact, he was also very anxious, but they had been busy since the New Year this year.

Du He patted Pei Xingjian on the shoulder and then said with a smile.

"Keep your promise. When you get married, I will give you a great gift."
