Chapter 325 Joining Hands
"Once..." Du Yuanxiu and Xiyue immediately held their breaths with Wu Huiyun's hesitant expression, and the woman in front of them seemed to be thinking about something, "I happened to see the Second Highness come out of a side courtyard .”

"A side courtyard?"

Wu Huiyun nodded lightly, she was very depressed these days, she often took one or two maids to the empty palace to find some peace and quiet, she didn't want to see Dongfang Rui coming out of a side hall one day.

At first she didn't care, but after meeting her twice, Wu Huiyun couldn't help being curious, so she stood outside the palace and took a look. She found that the palace was uninhabited, and Dongfang Rui walked into a room like this , haven't come out for a long time.

At that time, she felt weird, so she waited outside for a long time. After Dongfang Rui left, she waited for a while, but no one came in or out.

What is the Second Highness doing in the house alone?According to Wu Huiyun's understanding of Dongfang Rui, he would never do anything to waste time.It's just that she didn't dare to go in and have a look, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't have seen.

"Lenggong?" Xiyue didn't sound like it.

Wu Huiyun shook her head, she just glanced at Xiyue suspiciously, why did the princess suddenly mention a place like Leng Gong?

That's right, the cold palace is guarded by so many Concubine Mei's eyeliner, how could Wu Huiyun be allowed to stand at the gate of the palace?Thinking of this, Xiyue felt that maybe that palace was the key. "Sister-in-law, how about now, let's go and have a look!"

"This……"

"If the younger brothers and sisters don't want to go, just lead us the way." Du Yuanxiu stood up, she didn't force Wu Huiyun to take risks for His Royal Highness, but no matter what, she would not let go of a clue.

Wu Huiyun looked at Du Yuanxiu's expression, did she think she dared not go?I have to admit that I was really a little scared in my heart.But looking at the light of death in Du Yuanxiu's eyes, Wu Huiyun was unwilling to lose her at this juncture.

Since she can take risks for His Highness, so can she!
"Okay, I'll take you there."

……

On the gravel road by the lake, the prime minister came alone in the cold wind, and on the opposite side, several pairs of sharp eyes stared at him closely.

Out of the corner of Ji Jin's eyes, he glanced at the cold-breathing guards. How many of them were the enemy's eyeliner, the situation might not be optimistic.

"Master Prime Minister!"

A high-pitched voice came from behind, attracting everyone's attention. The father-in-law wearing a palace uniform trotted over with orchid fingers, panting after a few steps, "My lord is walking so fast, the miscellaneous family can hardly keep up." up!"

Ji Jin only felt that the corners of his brows were a little stiff, and he tried not to let himself feel any strangeness. With so many eyes watching, and His Highness acted so vividly, how could he break the attack at a critical moment?
"Eunuch Yu, the next official has something important to discuss with the Empress Dowager."

It took a long time for the smudged old face to calm down, "My lord is really doing his best for the court, come with the miscellaneous family."

Eunuch Yu smiled and walked in front of Ji Jin.

Those gazes quietly watched the two leave, and no one noticed anything wrong.

"It's too noticeable to walk from the palace road, so let's go around the path."

Wu Huiyun knew which road was seldom patrolled by guards, so they only brought three maids with them, and walked towards the side hall.

Xiyue followed at the end, her eyes were full of tension.A long time ago, she had already reserved a way out for the last resort, and as long as she found an opportunity to avoid those eyeliners later, relying on the poisonous powder on her body, the chance of success would be greatly increased.

Xiyue's mind turned quickly, she was as smart as her, and she had already thought of a set of feasible methods.

"It's here."

Wu Huiyun looked around for a while, they were really lucky, they would meet one or two groups of passing guards in the past, but today there was no one.

"Xin Lan, you are guarding behind the door, if there is any movement, let us know immediately!"

Xinlan nodded solemnly, and everyone stepped into the palace gate, while she hid at the gate, watching the movement outside vigilantly.

This is not a deserted side hall, looking at the clean corridor, I am afraid that palace people will come to clean it every morning.

"The Second Highness entered this room."

Wu Huiyun hesitated for a moment, and the people behind her emboldened her, so they stretched out their hands and gently opened the door, making a crisp creaking sound.

The furnishings of this room are very simple, and the ground is spotless. Du Yuanxiu walked to the side and looked at a few small handicrafts on the table.These look like children's playthings, and a closer look reveals that the room is full of them.

Judging by the traces on them, it has been some years.

"The Second Highness doesn't have a child yet, how can there be so many things to play with?" Xiyue asked suspiciously, Wu Huiyun's face changed, the child...

Du Yuanxiu noticed her strangeness, and immediately understood that Wu Huiyun was thinking of her unborn child, and immediately took a deep look at Xiyue.

The other party shut his mouth knowingly, and then changed the subject, "These things seem to have been there for many years, what is the Second Highness doing here?"

They couldn't figure out Dongfang Rui's purpose, and Du Yuanxiu had already started to look around. Could it be that the second prince was hiding some ulterior secret here?
Xiyue noticed the window on the side, she slowly opened it, and outside the window was a vast grassland, not far away was Merlin.

There are no patrolling guards here, but the two women behind are focused on searching for clues... Xiyue's eyes flashed, it was now!
She slowly reached into her sleeve, took out the poison powder she had prepared in advance, and then exclaimed softly, "Quick, come and see what this is..."

"What?" Wu Huiyun and Du Yuanxiu immediately leaned over, Xiyue's eyes changed, and she was about to make a move, when Xinlan's voice sounded outside, "Ma'am!"

"There's movement?!" Du Yuanxiu and Wu Huiyun immediately turned around nervously and hid at the door. Xiyue gritted her teeth secretly and missed an opportunity!
And Xinlan has already rushed in, "Ma'am, someone is here!"

Could it be the Second Highness?Wu Huiyun only felt that her scalp was numb, and she looked around helplessly. If the Second Highness knew that she was following him, then she could only die!

"Don't mess yourself up!"

Du Yuanxiu said something calmly, lifted her skirt and walked outside the palace gate, looking out through the slightly open door.

In the distance, two figures approached slowly.

Du Yuanxiu recognized at a glance that one of them was Eunuch Yu from the Empress Dowager's palace, and the other was the young prime minister.

The prime minister has entered the palace, could it be that there is already news of the prince?

At this time, a group of people appeared on the other end.

"Eunuch Yu, where are you going?"

"The empress dowager ordered the miscellaneous family to go to work, and now I'm back to do business!"

The two people on the other road couldn't see the path on the other side of the wall, but from this angle, Du Yuanxiu could see it clearly.

How could there be two Eunuch Yu? !

"Who is it?"

Xiyue and Wu Huiyun also leaned over, and they naturally noticed something strange.

"This...this is..."

Du Yuanxiu's eyes were fixed on the person beside Ji Jin, and then he noticed a sachet on the other's waist.She would not admit it wrong, it was given to His Highness by County Lord Yongji to carry with him, and His Highness would not take it off on weekdays.

"Your Highness?!"

Du Yuanxiu was shocked. For some reason, she consciously told her that it was definitely not a coincidence. One of the two Eunuchs Yu was a fake, so the fake one was probably by the prime minister's side...

Xiyue's eyes widened immediately. Of course she knew that the Queen Mother had left the matter of finding the crown prince to the prime minister, and now the prime minister brought people into the palace, and two more Yu Gonggongs appeared. So... the fake Yu The father-in-law is the prince in disguise!Only in this way can people's eyes and ears be concealed and enter the palace smoothly.

what to do?If they just bumped into each other like this, the fake father-in-law would go through the gang, and those people in the dark would know that the crown prince had entered the palace, so an assassination melee would be inevitable here!

But Xiyue immediately thought that if the prince was caught here, no one would be able to take care of her for a while, and it would be another best time to escape. If she missed this time, she would never be able to escape again. up!
What should she do?Just here to see it all happen?Then escape to the ends of the earth, far away from this place of right and wrong!

Xiyue's feet had already moved a little, she moved back slowly, but her heart was still struggling.

"No, we can't let them run into each other!" Du Yuanxiu whispered.

The two sides gradually approached, and Dongfang Xu, who was dressed as Eunuch Yu, suddenly stopped in his footsteps. Ji Jin stood beside him suspiciously. At this moment, he also heard the sound of footsteps from far to near.

"not good!"

The two turned around at the same time, and quickly left in the opposite direction. At this moment, Eunuch Yu had followed several guards to the intersection.The two figures leaving quickly attracted their attention, "Wait, those two people in front!"

Dongfang Xu and Ji Jin stopped immediately, should they run away immediately?But this palace is full of eyeliners, where are you going to escape? !

Du Yuanxiu was so nervous that sweat covered her palms, suddenly, a force behind her tightly clamped her down.

"If you want to save the prince, cooperate with me!"

When that stern voice came, the palace door was suddenly opened. Before Wu Huiyun could react to what happened, Xiyue had dragged Du Yuanxiu to appear in front of everyone.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

A dagger appeared in her hand, pointing at Du Yuanxiu's throat.

"Ah? The crown princess? The crown prince's side concubine!"

Eunuch Yu was taken aback by the movement here, and immediately forgot about the two suspicious people in front of him, and all the guards immediately surrounded Xiyue.

"Princess, what are you doing?!"

Ji Jin and Dongfang Xu turned their heads in surprise, only to see Xiyue and Du Yuanxiu looking in their direction, with hints in their eyes.

"Don't follow me, let me leave!"

Eunuch Yu secretly thought it was not good, the crown princess wanted to do harm to the side concubine!The empress dowager's guess is right, the prince's whereabouts are still unknown, it must be the ghost of Yi country!

"Your Highness, let's go!"

Ji Jin pulled Dongfang Xu back. He knew that the two women were creating an opportunity for them to leave. He never thought that the princess of Yi Kingdom would do such a thing...
