In the astrology building, there was a dark room, with only the murals on the wall emitting a glimmer of light.

It wasn't until the door was gently pushed open that Fu Ling could clearly see the scene inside the house.

This is the tenth day of Xiaoshuo month without eating or drinking.

Xiao Shuoyue was sitting at the table. He was dressed in white, with white hair hanging down to the ground. He still had a cold expression on his face, with his eyes closed like an ice sculpture.

Fuling was ordered to bring a cup of tea. Seeing Xiao Shuoyue purse her lips and still ask, she lowered her eyes and was a little puzzled: "My lord is obviously not sick, why do you claim to be sick?"

Xiao Shuoyue slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes had turned into radiant gold, and looked even more dazzling than candlelight under the light.

Anyone who has been in darkness for a long time will be burned when he suddenly sees the sun, but he seems to be unaware.

"Have you been stargazing?"

This was the first time he spoke recently, but it had nothing to do with what Fuling asked just now, as if he wasn't listening to her at all.

Fuling was also startled: "What?"

She just suddenly received a summons from Xiao Shuoyue, asking her to bring a cup of tea.

Xiao Shuoyue said calmly: "Stargazing."

Although there were no stars to be seen here, Xiao Shuoyue looked at the open door behind Fuling:

"Tonight, the purple stars are dark."

Fu Ling was immediately startled: "Zi Wei Xing? But everything in the palace has been going well recently. It took a lot of effort to calm down for a few days, just waiting for a good year."

When she faced those inhuman golden eyes, she felt extremely uncomfortable. It seemed that no hypocrisy could be escaped in front of these eyes.

Could it be that after staying in this dark place for so long, the gods have become crazy?

Xiao Shuoyue stood up coldly.

His fluttering clothes brought a breeze, exuding a faint fragrance, like white plum blossoms on cold winter branches.

He walked to the top floor of the astrological building, without speaking or moving, as if nothing else mattered, and stared steadily at the corner of the sky.

Ziweixing...

He finally lowered his head and looked back, his golden eyes as clear as a god and Buddha under the moonlight.

"A message has been sent to the legitimate daughter of the Yun Mansion. The purple stars are dark and the emperor is in trouble."

Although Fu Ling didn't know why, she still responded immediately: "Yes!"

Xiao Shuoyue added another sentence, her tone as cold and solemn as usual, but with determination:

"Tell her to go in person."

Suddenly receiving a summons from Xiao Shuoyue, Yun Wuyang set out immediately.

Liu Xiaoxian stayed on hold for the time being as planned, but he also sent people to guard outside the palace.

Yun Wuyang hurriedly entered the palace and came to the emperor's bedroom.

She was also considered the Nine Emperor's Concubine, so she pretended to be calm at the door and said, "Your Majesty, Yun Wu is fine. Please see Your Majesty."

The person on duty in the emperor's palace today is not the former palace attendant.

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Nine Emperor Consort, Your Majesty has rested today."

Yun Wuyang said in a deep voice: "How can His Majesty rest at this hour? His Majesty the Ninth Prince takes care of Your Majesty every day, and I also roughly know His Majesty's rest time."

"——Even if I really take a break, I still have to pay homage to His Majesty, and I will bear the consequences alone."

But the manager never took a step back: "Ninth Emperor Concubine, don't embarrass the villain."

Yun Wuhuang: "..."

She changed the topic and said: "Okay, but at this time, Your Majesty should have taken medicine, right?"

"Where's today's medicine?"

In the past, every time Liu Xiaoxian came back from the palace, she would complain about the bitter smell, but now she couldn't smell it at all.

The steward said calmly: "Your Majesty has already taken medicine today."

He lowered his head a little: "I know that His Majesty the Ninth Prince has been accompanying His Majesty every day to attend to His Majesty's illnesses. Almost all the decoctions have passed through the hands of His Majesty the Ninth Prince. However, His Majesty's dragon body is getting worse and worse..."

Yun Wuyang's heart suddenly tightened. What he said was too weird. It was not what a servant should say or the tone he should use.

She frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

The steward continued as if telling a story: "So, the imperial doctors were suspicious, so they carefully checked the decoctions His Majesty took yesterday, only to find that the medicine His Majesty drank every day had been secretly mixed with... A poison was poured into it."

His tone suddenly became stern: "This is clearly someone who took advantage of the excuse to poison your majesty's decoction in order to commit rebellion!"

His voice suddenly became louder, and in an instant, all the guards outside the palace drew their swords and surrounded him.

The manager's voice was sharp:

"The Ninth Prince and others are going to rebel! Come here! Take her down!"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Wuyan had already pulled out an inconspicuous decoration from his waist and threw it to the ground, causing smoke to spread everywhere.

Even though they had already conducted a search before Yun Wuhuang entered the palace, they didn't expect her to retain such a hand.

While others were stunned and on guard, Yun Wuyang ran towards the gap he had just observed when he stepped here.

Something went wrong tonight.

Her hanging heart finally died.

"The Ninth Prince poisoned His Majesty——"

"Seize the Ninth Princess!——"

"The Nine Emperor Concubines rebelled——"

The shout came from behind, forming an overwhelming momentum.

The palace that should have fallen into a deep sleep was completely awakened, and countless fire lights lit up.

The sound of the armors of the hordes of guards vibrating could be heard. With such a large number of people, I was afraid that they would be overtaken sooner or later.

Until around the corner, a hand stretched out from the darkness suddenly grabbed Yun Wuyan.

She subconsciously struck out, and the man immediately groaned and took a few steps back.

Then the sound of gnashing teeth came over:

"——Yun Wuyan! Are you sick?!"

Yun Wuyan was stunned for a moment and saw clearly the face of Zhu Guanqi hidden in the darkness.

She was confused for a moment: "You? No, how could you..."

Zhu Guanqi had a gloomy face and did not say any nonsense to her: "Come with me!"

Before Yun Wuyang could say anything, he heard her say: "The people you left outside the palace to support me are all gone. If you don't want to die, come with me!"

Only then did she follow Zhu Guanqi into a secret passage.

There was dim candlelight on the wall, and Yun Wuyan was extremely surprised: "How could there be a secret passage here? How did you know about it?"

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Zhu Guanqi punched her in the lower abdomen with a backhand. She immediately bent over and groaned.

Zhu Guanqi said coldly: "Now, I'll give it back to you."

Yun Wuhuang: "..."

What a vengeful woman.

Zhu Guanqi did not answer her: "There are many things you don't know about in the imperial city. Do you want me to answer you for everything?"

She just said these words and walked straight in front of Yun Wuhuang, leaving only an emotionless back.

Yun Wuyang had been following her, and was thinking about how to retaliate against Zhu Guanqi, such as how to pretend to accidentally step on her shoes, when Zhu Guanqi stood firm.

Yun Wuyang didn't stop and bumped into her back, covering his nose and snorted.

Zhu Guanqi turned around and looked at her with disgust: "You can't even walk?"

Yun Wuyang looked around in confusion: "Did anyone speak, or did someone fart?"

Zhu Guanqi: "..."

She stretched out her hands and pinched Yun Wuhuang's neck: "Yun Wuhuang!!!"

To add, when Yun Wuhuang complained about Liu Xiaoxian's bitter smell, Liu Liu would reach out and pinch her nose, hurt her and let her smell it (some young lovers...)
