Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

In the Suhe Hall, Master Li knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Master Li, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mr. Li is the boss of the opera troupe. He is in his early thirties and used to be a young actor. Later he formed his own troupe and became the boss behind the scenes.

"Master Li, is there any progress?"

"Your Majesty, yes, I have discovered a cellar in Mingyue Palace."

"Oh?" Li Zhao looked up at Eunuch Zhou. When the people from Southern Xinjiang were arranged to live in Mingyue Palace, no one had mentioned to him that Mingyue Palace had a cellar.

Eunuch Zhou's forehead was covered in sweat. "I'll have someone check right away."

The previous owner of Mingyue Palace was the cousin of the former queen. She was not a favored concubine, but because of the former queen, she was allocated a large courtyard.

There were many people who were jealous of her at that time. Later, this concubine was hanged under the corridor of Mingyue Palace during a harem struggle.

As for the cellar incident, this was the first time Eunuch Zhou had heard of it. This matter needed to be thoroughly investigated, and there was no rush.

"Master Li, tell me, what did you find in the cellar?"

"One of my errand girls saw someone delivering food to the cellar in the middle of the night."

Li Zhao tapped the dragon throne lightly with his index finger. Was there someone hiding inside when delivering food in the middle of the night?

Some time ago, someone broke into the palace and tried to assassinate Yao Wenchang, but they escaped. That night, the palace strengthened its guards and conducted frequent patrols, not letting anyone out.

The murderer has not been caught, which means that the murderer is hiding in the palace.

In order to avoid alerting the criminals, the Censorate temporarily detained Xu Jinyi and announced to the public that the criminal had been caught.

Li Zhao sent people to search all places in the imperial palace, except Mingyue Palace, which could not be searched openly because people from southern Xinjiang lived there.

So Li Zhao came up with the idea of ​​inviting Amire to watch an opera and arranged for the opera troupe to enter the Mingyue Palace.

Cellar, midnight, meal delivery, every word has a meaning.

If nothing unexpected happens, the murderer of Yao Wenchang is from southern Xinjiang, and is hiding in Mingyue Palace at this time.

"Master Li, continue investigating and report any news immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In Yonghe Palace, Wen Yuan fell asleep on the couch.

Strolling around the Imperial Garden was exhausting, so she fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Xingyao covered her with the thin blanket that had slipped off her body and sat quietly beside her.

She looked at Wen Yuan's bulging belly, anxiety showing between her brows.

After sitting for a while, she couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth. The day of her departure was getting closer and closer, but Wen Yuan's plan of escaping death was at a standstill.

She was very afraid that she would not be able to take Wen Yuan with her.

This time she returned to the modern era, there would be no second chance to come back, so the stagnation of the plan made her a little stressed.

Her mind raced, considering her next move.

It was not until Wen Yuan woke up that she pretended nothing had happened and happily combed her hair.

"Ayuan, you will start pretending to be sick from tomorrow."

"Malingering?"

"Yes. You're pretending to be sick, losing your appetite and unable to eat or drink, because you want to visit the Imperial Garden. Yes, you have Imperial Garden Syndrome. If you don't go there for a day, you feel uncomfortable. Li Zhao, as the emperor, doesn't have the time to accompany you every day. Just pretend to be sick for a few days and see if he will relent."

I took the opportunity to go and whisper something in Eunuch Zhou's ear, and we'll use both approaches to speed up the process."

Wen Yuan had just woken up and his head was a little dazed. After hearing what she said, he didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.

We should try our best to save the dying horse and not just sit and wait for it to die.

In the evening, as the sun was setting, Li Heng arrived.

Wen Yuan asked Nanny Li to invite him in and arranged for Ling'er to make tea.

Ji Xingyao is now able to do these chores smoothly. At first glance, he seems as skilled as an old employee who has been working there for more than ten years.

Li Heng's eyes never left her since he entered the door.

Seeing that she was so nimble and skillful that a few drops of hot water accidentally splashed on the back of her hand without frowning, I felt distressed.

Ji Xingyao was the most favored youngest daughter in the general's mansion, and had been followed and served by many people since she was a child. Although she was naughty, she was afraid of being hurt. When she made mistakes as a child, the general never wanted to punish her.

She was so spoiled that she could even endure being scalded by hot water without making a sound.

"Sister-in-law, does Ling'er usually have to do these rough jobs?"

Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows. It wasn't just washing clothes, chopping wood, or making tea, so how could it be considered rough work?

"Your Highness, I will make all the arrangements for my maids to do their work."

Li Heng was choked.

Wen Yuan pretended not to notice his frustrated expression and asked, "Ling'er said you met Minister Xu yesterday?"

"Yes."

"How is Minister Xu?"

Li Heng glanced at Ling'er and saw that she pricked up her ears and couldn't wait to listen, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Minister Xu eats well and sleeps well, so there's no need for the Empress to worry."

After getting this answer, Ji Xingyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who are sent to Wei Prison can eat well and sleep well, which means that they have never been punished and are in good health.

As long as the censor finds the real culprit, he can be cleared of all charges.

This is great, Ji Xingyao can concentrate on helping Wen Yuan escape.

Wen Yuan heard the jealousy in Li Heng's words and added fuel to the fire, "Ling'er, I remember that Minister Xu once asked His Majesty for a marriage. Since you care so much about him, once Minister Xu is cleared of the charges this time, I will marry you to him, okay?"

"Not good." Li Heng stood up suddenly and looked straight at Ling'er.

Wen Yuan glared at him: "This is a matter between Ling'er and Minister Xu. What right does Your Highness have to object?"

"Sister-in-law, Ling'er is Xingyao." Li Heng explained bitterly.

"Your Highness has been to the frontier, and his brain isn't working right anymore. Ling'er is Ling'er, and Xingyao is Xingyao. How could I possibly make a mistake? But Your Highness, you can associate two people who are completely unrelated together. I'm afraid you have a mental disorder."

"You don't believe me, sister-in-law? Tomorrow I will bring Master Huang to the palace and prove it to you in person."

Wen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Wen Yuan: [System, can the talented people of the Taifeng Dynasty tell that we come from another world?]

System: [Replying to the host, yes.]

Wen Yuan: [Is this also a system bug? ]

System: [This has always existed, so this system has reminded the host that you must not reveal your identity, otherwise you will be severely punished.]

Wen Yuan: [Aren’t you speaking too late? ]

System: [Because Taoist priests generally live in the frontier, a great distance from the capital, the chance of your encounter is almost zero, so this system didn't specifically warn you. However, Li Heng brought him to the capital, and if the host were to meet him, the risk would be extremely high.]

System: [Friendly reminder: Host Ji Xingyao is not subject to these rules. She has successfully completed the mission and is a paid-for participant. When the experience period ends, she will automatically return to her original world.]

Wen Yuan understood that now she was the only one in danger of exposing her identity.

Fortunately, Li Heng only believed that Ji Xingyao came from another world, so she was safe for the time being.

Wen Yuan calmed down and said, "I hate quacks the most. Seeing them makes me upset."

Li Heng's eyes were slightly red:

"The Empress's sister-in-law doesn't believe me, and she refuses to see the Taoist priest. What should I do?"
