Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"Originally, I wanted to lure the Emperor here. Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity to sleep with him?"

There was no hint of blame in Jinzhong's words, but rather a hint of helplessness.

"Tonight is destined to be a turbulent night. I don't want to sleep with you."

Jinzhong chuckled softly, his voice was like the trickle of running water, and sounded particularly pleasant.

"But if you leave the emperor outside, aren't you afraid that he will catch a cold and be blamed?"

"He can still catch a cold, which means he's too weak. Is he still crying outside? He seems to have lost his voice."

As she spoke, Wei Yanwan stretched her neck to look outside.

What he saw was that Hongli had fallen asleep on the stone table.

Fell asleep?

That's right, just fell asleep.

"Alright, let's get him in later. If he really catches a cold staying the night here, then the Imperial Concubine will have another reason to punish me."

At this time in the Yiku Palace, even the air was filled with fragrance.

Before going to bed, Ruyi sat in front of the dressing mirror, raising her neck and twisting it left to right. The more she looked at herself, the more satisfied she became.

惢心 was very tactful and started a new round of flattery.

"Master, the shirt you are wearing tonight is really beautiful~"

As expected, Ruyi immediately became even happier, pouting her lips and saying complacently, "Of course, the Emperor said that this faded red color suits me best. It's the perfect shade, delicate but not coquettish."

惢心 really wants to pout and say that sentence~~~

The old demon is pretty good.

Holding back laughter is an art form, and not everyone can master it to perfection.

"Master, you seem to be in a very happy mood tonight~"

Ruyi lowered her head and was secretly delighted, but she could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

Of course she was happy because she had secretly slipped a small note to Anji in Anhua Hall during the day.

He will definitely come over if he sees it.

Just as Ruyi was happily admiring her appearance in the mirror, a scream suddenly came from outside.

"There are assassins!!!"

Ruyi had a bad feeling in her heart. She stood up suddenly, not caring about her own image, and shouted, "Sanbao! Sanbao! What's going on outside?"

"Master! Just now, I was preparing hot water for you when I suddenly saw a white-clad assassin. But don't worry, the guards have already captured him."

"What did you say! That assassin was wearing white clothes!?"

Sanbao didn't know why his master was so excited, and even looked at him with a fierce look. He thought he had said something wrong, but he still answered honestly, "Yes, that person was indeed wearing white clothes. I can't be wrong."

White clothes?

Apart from Master Anji, there is no other man in the palace who wears white clothes!

No matter what, Angie must not be caught!

These three treasures are in the way.

"How could there be an assassin in Yikun Palace? Have they been caught?"

"The assassin ran away quickly and has disappeared."

Ruyi was relieved to hear that Anji was not caught.

However, the next second, Sanbao said, "Master, don't worry. I heard the guards patrolling outside and chased after him. They will definitely catch him."

Seeing Ruyi's face darken,惢心 asked in a low voice, "My Lord, should we report this matter to the Emperor?"

Although Ruyi is not smart, the assassination incident has already happened and has alarmed many people. The emperor will know about it sooner or later.

So it is better to report back to the emperor.

She believed Angie could do it.

A man of his power would never be caught.

It is more important to protect yourself now.

Never hesitate when it is time to shirk responsibility.

Even if it's slander, it doesn't matter.

"Sanbao, go report to the emperor. Time is short, and the assassin can't get far. Yongshou Palace is nearby, and there are fewer people there, so it might be a good place to hide. We can send more people to search."

Surrounding the Yiku Palace are not only the Yongshou Palace, but also the Chuxiu Palace, the Xianfu Palace, the Changchun Palace and the Taiji Hall.

Why did the Imperial Noble Consort only mention the Yongshou Palace?

Although Sanbao had doubts, he still had to obey his master.

"You guys, go look for him in the nearby Yongshou Palace. It's close to the Yikun Palace, so the assassin is very likely to have gone there."

"understood."

After giving these instructions, Sanbao went back.

"What's going on here?"

"Eunuch Li Yu, an assassin has entered the palace, and a routine inspection is required around the palace."

When Li Yu heard about the assassin, and saw that the guards seemed to be running from the Yikun Palace, he immediately asked worriedly, "Where did they find the assassin?"

"Yikun Palace, all right, we can't waste any more time, we need to go into Yongshou Palace and check it out."

The expression on Li Yu's face was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

"The Emperor is in Yongshou Palace. Concubine Ling is sleeping with him tonight, so we are not allowed to go in and serve him."

No wonder everyone was standing outside Yongshou Palace.

"Didn't you hear any other noise inside?"

I must have heard it.

Just a while ago, the emperor cried heart-wrenchingly, and he heard it clearly.

But this kind of thing cannot be told outside.

He was now particularly glad that the person who went in to serve him was Jinzhong.

Otherwise he wouldn't dare say such words.

"The Yongshou Palace seems to be quite quiet. For the emperor's safety, it is necessary to go in and inform him. Please excuse me, Eunuch Li Yu."

Since the other party had already said this, Li Yu had no choice but to knock on the door.

Jinzhong seemed to be waiting for him on purpose.

As soon as Li Yugang made a move, Jinzhong opened the door.

"Master, what's wrong? I heard some noise outside. Did something happen?"

Li Yu immediately stood up straight and said in a pretentious manner, "Jinzhong, there's an assassin in the palace. They need to check it out. Has the emperor rested?"

Thinking that the emperor had just been carried into the house by the two of them, Jinzhong pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh my God! Assassins! But what can we do? The emperor and Concubine Ling have already rested."

When the guard heard that the emperor had gone to bed, he said in a businesslike manner, "Then please allow us to go in and inspect without disturbing the emperor."

"In that case, come in."

Li Yu looked at Jinzhong and felt that he had overthought, so he followed the group of guards in.

The group began searching Yongshou Palace.

Unexpectedly, Hongli was woken up.

"Hiss, what's that noise outside?"

Wei Yanwan climbed onto Hongli's shoulders and said softly, "I don't know. Let me go out and take a look."

Hongli tilted his head, and the corner of his lips just brushed against Wei Yanwan's lips. Then his eyes were fixed on her lips, and he couldn't move his eyes away for a long time. He said absentmindedly, "My beloved concubine, how can I go out? I'll go out and take a look."

"What's going on outside?!"

Jinzhong immediately responded, "Your Majesty, Master said there was an assassination attempt in the Yikun Palace. The Imperial Concubine specifically ordered the guards to come over and search this area. No one should be overlooked."

Li Yu: When did I say that?

Jinzhong: I know everything you said in your heart.
