Feng Yu Heng knew that she was just trying to find a doctor in a desperate situation. What was the point of asking the Second Prince to send Xuan Feiyu into the palace? If Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince lost their minds and threw Xuan Feiyu into the mix, then it would be too late for her to regret it.
She knocked her head and thought that she had really lost her mind when encountering this matter. She didn't know if it was because she had been too tense recently or if it was due to a severe lack of sleep. She had failed to do her job properly and was truly shameful. Even if Zirui entered the palace, the other party couldn't do anything to him in just one afternoon. They had to wait a few days or else it would be too obvious. She could enter the palace tonight. If the situation in the palace was really bad, she could just directly take him away. At worst, she could just put him in her space. No matter how high the sky or where the Eighth Prince went, he wouldn't be able to find a trace.
When Feng Yu Heng thought like this, her heart felt a bit better. She even thought that if she stole Zirui out, could she turn around and frame him? But thinking again, who would she frame? The person was invited by the Emperor. Could it be that she wanted to frame the Emperor?
Seeing her smile bitterly, Wang Chuan took the tea that a young maidservant had just handed over and said softly: "Young Miss, drink some hot tea to warm your body first. We'll think of something else. Just now, Lady Zhou said that His Highness sent someone to send a message back. After court, they went directly to the Chun Palace to see Consort Yun. They'll probably be late. If Young Miss can't sit still in the palace, why don't we also go to the Chun Palace and have the two Highnesses help think of something. "
Wang Chuan was persuading Feng Yu Heng in the room. At this time, Huang Quan was talking to Ban Zou in the courtyard. She said: "Why don't you secretly enter the palace tonight and steal Master Zirui out? Look at how anxious Young Miss is. Young Master just returned to the capital and hasn't even entered the house yet, but he's already been brought into the palace. If this was in the past, it would have been fine. But now, the palace is a wolf's den. How anxious is Young Miss because of this? "
At this time, Ban Zou was hanging upside down from a tree. Looking down at Huang Quan, he shook his head and said: "If you want to steal, it should be master who goes in to steal. I don't have that ability."
"Nonsense!" Huang Quan didn't believe him. "Don't think I don't know how good your Qinggong is. You haven't used your fists or legs much in the past few years. You can't hold it in anymore and want to exercise, right? Now that there's such a good opportunity, you don't want to go? "
Ban Zou still shook his head, "I can go in and out of the Imperial Palace myself, but I can't bring a child out. Or perhaps … "He thought for a moment and said," It was possible in the past, but not now. The whole palace is filled with the Eighth Prince's people. There are some in the open and some in the dark. Do you think it's your own kitchen, where you can come and go as you please? "
Huang Quan stamped her foot and glanced anxiously at the main room. "Then what should we do? I see that Young Miss is worried, and I'm also worried. Unfortunately, my Qinggong isn't good. If I had your skills, I would try to force my way in. "
"Forcing your way in isn't the best way to solve the problem. On the contrary, it'll cause trouble for the masters." He swung a few times from the tree trunk and reached out to pat Huang Quan's head. "I say, you've been with master for so many years, but why haven't you grown up at all? You're happy to force your way in, but what if you get caught? Don't think that if you get caught, you'll shoulder the blame alone. You have to remember, you are master's maidservant. Your body has already been branded with master's brand. Even if it was your idea alone, master will definitely be implicated. Do you understand? "
Huang Quan was lectured by him, but strangely, she didn't get angry. This was because Ban Zou's pat on her head almost made her lose her soul. This girl, who had always been carefree and straightforward, immediately became a bit bashful. Her small face flushed red, and she didn't know what to say next. It was Ban Zou who broke the awkward silence first. He told her: "To steal Master Zirui out of the palace, not only do I not have the ability, even with His Ninth Highness' Qinggong, it wouldn't be possible in the current situation. However, if there is one person who can succeed, it would be our master. In this world, in heaven and on earth, as long as she wants to, there is no place she can't go. "
Huang Quan furrowed her brows. She didn't quite understand. Ban Zou reminded her in a timely manner: "Think back to when the poison was removed in the military camp, she pulled out those large butts from her sleeves … …"
Huang Quan's face turned red again, but she also recalled the scene from that day. That's right! How could she forget that her family's Young Miss was a mysterious existence. She was different from the rest. If the seventh prince was a deity, then her family's Young Miss was also a deity. Moreover, she was a deity with more ability than the seventh prince. Thus she became happy, "Then if that's the case, Young Miss will be able to safely bring Master Zirui out of the palace!"
Ban Zou still shook his head: "Not necessarily. It will depend on the situation in the palace. Taking Master Zirui away is easy to say, but the subsequent disturbance will be too great. Master needs to make preparations for Wan Quan before she can make a move. However, tonight, she will be entering the palace alone. This is something I am certain of. "
Reality proved that Ban Zou understood Feng Yu Heng very well. After Feng Zirui was brought into the palace, if Feng Yu Heng did not go in to take a look and instead slept peacefully in the manor, then that was not something a sister would do.
Feng Yu Heng wanted to enter the palace, and Xuan Tianming strongly wanted to follow, but she said: "Bringing you along would mean one more target and danger. Be good and wait for me in the manor!" Xuan Tianming felt that he was being disliked by his wife, but after thinking about it, Feng Yu Heng's words, he also felt that he would become a burden if he followed. With the Universe Space, Feng Yu Heng could come and go as she pleased, so he did not need to worry too much.
Shaking off Xuan Tianming, Feng Yu Heng used the old method to smoothly enter the palace. This place was a forbidden area for others, but for her, it was no different from entering the Imperial Palace's kitchen. Even if someone occasionally saw her shadow, based on her ability to immediately disappear, the other party would only think that they were seeing things.
She did not know where Feng Zirui would live. Zhao He Hall was occupied every night by Consort Yuanshu. Emperor Tianwu wanted to pamper his concubines inside, so presumably, he would not leave Zirui behind. As Feng Yu Heng walked, she thought about where she should go to find Zirui. However, she did not know that tonight, Zirui had been sent to a remote palace courtyard on the west side of the palace. That palace courtyard was exquisitely decorated. Apparently, it was where the Eighth Prince had lived before he left the palace. There were even servants who told Zirui that being able to live here was his good fortune.
However, Zirui felt very awkward being brought here. This place was quite far from Zhao He Hall. When he came out of Zhao He Hall, Emperor Tianwu might have allowed him to sit in a sedan. He followed the palace servants step by step. It had snowed heavily in the afternoon and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. He walked for more than an hour before he arrived. When he entered the room, his shoes were soaked and his feet were numb from the cold.
As he walked, he heard two young eunuchs whispering that the reason the courtyard was so far away was because the Emperor had wholeheartedly pampered Consort Yun twenty years ago. Therefore, he avoided the last child born before Consort Yun entered the palace. In addition, Consort Yuanshu had been the happiest at that time. After all, she was the last concubine to fall out of favor! That was why the Emperor moved the eighth prince's residence a little further away. It was such that Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu would have to walk a long distance to see her son.
The system of princes in Dashun was quite strange. Not all princes could be raised by their birth mothers. However, there was no rule that a prince would be taken to another place the moment he was born. Everything depended on how much favor the birth mother of the prince was receiving. Those who were favored could raise their own sons. Those who were not favored would be given another palace to live in. They would be raised by a wet nurse from a young age until they were six years old and began to study. If the concubines wanted to see their sons, they would only have one chance every ten days.
Consort Yuanshu was originally favored. However, because she was favored and gave birth to the Eighth Prince, when Consort Yun entered the palace, Emperor Tianwu felt that she was awkward and an eyesore. Therefore, even the Eighth Prince was taken away. As a result, the place where the Eighth Prince lived when he was young was very far from Cun Shan Palace and Zhao He Hall.
Zirui was eleven years old. He could understand the meaning of the palace servants' words and could analyze them in his heart. Although he still had to guess most of the time, he could guess most of the time.
But so what? He had been in the palace for an afternoon. He already understood why his sister had that reaction and expression when she heard that the Emperor wanted to take him into the palace. From the moment he saw Consort Yuanshu accompanying the Emperor Tianwu, from the moment he saw the Eighth Prince enter the palace to eat with him, from the moment Consort Yuanshu was very close to the Emperor Tianwu, and from the moment Emperor Tianwu was even more affectionate to the Eighth Prince than he was to the Ninth Prince, he understood that unimaginable changes had occurred in the capital while he was studying in Xiao Zhou.
However, Zirui had become very mature over the years. This child was originally very sensible. In addition, Feng Yu Heng had instructed him in advance. He kept it in his heart. No matter what he saw or heard, he did not ask about it. He treated people courteously. Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince could not find any fault with him.
However, he was still not let out of the palace at night. Not only was he kept in the palace, he was even sent to a place so far away from Zhao He Hall.
Zirui sat in his room. No matter how hard he tried, he could not fall asleep. He sat from evening until midnight. It was almost midnight, but he still did not feel sleepy at all. His heart was a bit panicked. He felt that something bad was going to happen tonight, but he could not guess what it was. They couldn't kill someone in the palace, right? Moreover, what was the point of killing him? He was Feng Yu Heng's younger brother and the Ninth Prince's younger brother-in-law. If he really died in the palace, even if the Eighth Prince and Consort Yuanshu were favored, it would be difficult to explain this matter.
Zirui felt that this panic had nothing to do with his life, but it definitely did not come out of nowhere. He simply did not sleep and sat on the bed to wait. He was waiting for something to happen. He was waiting for something to happen tonight in this small, remote palace courtyard.
Once midnight passed, most of the servants in the palace courtyard went to rest. Only one person was left outside to guard the door. Boys did not need servant girls to make mats on the floor beside their beds like young ladies. Thus, he was the only one in the room. He wasn't afraid, but his heart was unsettled, and he was panicking.
Finally, when it was about a quarter to midnight, there was movement outside the door. Zirui quivered and quickly crawled under the blankets to act as if he had already fallen asleep. However, he was actually awake and listening carefully.
Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside. Someone walked in stealthily, closed the door, and walked step by step to his side. He felt a hand reach into the blankets and move towards his body. Finally, the hand stopped and grabbed a special part of his body …
