t that far away. Why did you come all this way in the middle of the night"When asked about her reason for being there, the emperor's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't intend to respond to An...Hearing Huāduǒ'er's question, Yè'ěr was not at all surprised, as if he had guessed she would ask that way.

Ye Er smiled lightly and shook his head, "I wouldn't be anyone's man, but the Princess of Beijang is my savior, my reborn parents. Without hesitation, I say that my life belongs to the Princess of Beijang. As long as I can help the Princess of Beijang, even if it means taking my own life, I am willing."

As he spoke, Huadoer's eyes were fixed on his expression. Ye Er spoke with sincerity, and Huadoer considered herself to be quite good at reading people, but right now she genuinely couldn't tell if Ye Er was telling the truth.

After a moment's hesitation, she finally chose to believe him. She gazed intently into Ye Er's eyes and said seriously, "Your Majesty spent a lot of money to invite experts from the Western Regions. Do you know about this, Lord Ye"

"Knowing this, those people from the Western Regions are now lurking outside the Prince's Mansion in Beijang."

Seeing his honesty, Huāduǒ didn't care about anything else and immediately blurted out what she wanted his help with:

“Your Majesty, I had already sent the news about the Xirong people to the Beijiang Wangfu a few days ago. But now I suspect that Atang very likely did not receive my letter, and I don't know why this would be the case. I will investigate matters in the palace, but we can't wait for Atang's side. We must find a way to let her know about the Xirong people as soon as possible.”

When Hua Duo said this, Ye Er immediately understood why she was willing to take the risk and go alone at this moment. He nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I'll inform the Princess. At this time, the Princess should already know everything that needs to be known."

Upon receiving this news, Huāduǒ finally felt at ease. She bowed to Yè Er, saying, "Thank you, Lord Yè."

Huāduǒ'er still wanted to say something, but when she heard footsteps, her brows furrowed. She glanced at Yè'èr, and the two nodded at each other. Immediately, Huāduǒ'er turned and left.

Just as the figure of the flower disappeared, several people had already run to Ye Er's side. They looked around and did not see anything unusual, so they felt a little relieved.

One of them bowed to Ye Er, "Perhaps Lord Ye has left"

They were in charge of escorting Lord Ye out of the palace, but just after leaving Concubine Hua's chambers, Lord Ye said he had a stomach ache and urgently needed to attend to personal matters.

They should have followed Master Ye into this abandoned palace, which had been vacant for some time. However, Master Ye said that he didn't want anyone around him for his personal affairs, as it would make him feel uncomfortable. So they thought that since no one was in the palace anyway, letting Master Ye come in alone wouldn't cause any trouble.

Besides, they were living people and naturally didn't want to smell the stench coming from the latrine, so they waited outside.

Lord Ke Ye had taken too long, and as they hadn't seen him leave, they were worried something might have happened. After all, Lord Ke Ye was now the Emperor's most trusted favorite. So, they could only come in to check on him.

So far, things seem to be okay.

Ye Er's expression remained unchanged as he nodded. "Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."

Those people didn't dare to ask Ye Da to apologize. They quickly explained a few things, and Ye Er also didn't linger, raising his foot and leaving.

As for what Hua Guifei hadn't finished saying just now, he could roughly guess the gist of it.

It seems I'll have to go back to the Qingyun Pavilion again today.

……

Hua Duo'er returned to the small kitchen and casually boiled some broth, adding a few "good ingredients" before bringing it to the emperor.

The emperor today truly trusted Huāduōr. When she brought him the medicinal soup, he didn't hesitate at all and drank it down.

After finishing his drink, the emperor dismissed everyone around him. He held the flower in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

After calculating the time and making sure the emperor was fast asleep, Huāduō stood up and walked out.

All the people in the outer hall had been sent away by Huāduǒ, she sat on the chair and waited for a while, only her trusted maidservant Xiǎohóng came back.

Seeing Xiaohong, Huaduo excitedly stood up and quickly walked to Xiaohong's side, lowering her voice and saying, "How is it Did you manage to contact anyone from Beijang Royal Manor"

Xiao Hong shook her head, lowered her voice, and said to Hua Duo'er with a guilty expression, "Miss, I looked all over the place. The people we could contact before seem to have disappeared for some reason, and they aren't at the agreed-upon locations anymore."

"... "

Huāduǒ's brow furrowed, "Have you checked with the Imperial Kitchen as well"

"I've also looked everywhere, but I still can't see him/her."

Upon hearing this from Xiaohong, Huado'er's expression instantly became grave. An Xuetang had told her that in the current imperial palace, there were people from the Northern Border Wangfu almost everywhere. In order to monitor the emperor's every move, the Northern Border Wangfu had made a lot of effort within the palace.

Before, An Xue Tang told her several hidden locations and appearances of people in order to make it convenient for her to contact the Beijiang王府.

The person lurking in the Imperial Kitchen had a chance to leave the palace, so whenever she needed to send messages to An Xue Tang before, she usually did it through that person from the Imperial Kitchen.

But now he is nowhere to be found

What on earth is going on Were they discovered Or did An Xuetang have other arrangements for them

Xiaohong saw that her young mistress was in low spirits. Her eyes flickered, and she then said:

"Miss, don't overthink it. Those who can lurk in the palace are undoubtedly skilled individuals. I speculate that they know high-level martial artists from the Western Regions are ambushed outside the Prince of Beijang's Mansion. They fear that their brothers staying at the Prince of Beijang's Mansion might struggle to handle the situation, so they have all returned to their respective mansions to await orders."

The flower bud didn't speak. She pursed her lips, pondering for a moment, "After dark, you guard here and don't allow anyone to enter. I'll go to the Imperial Kitchen myself."

Western Region experts are indeed something to be wary of, but these people who have managed to infiltrate the palace, whether it's the King of Beijiang or Atang, it's impossible for them to easily recall anyone back to the mansion.

There must be something wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Little Red heard what the flower said, and her heart suddenly panicked. She clenched her fists, knowing she couldn't show any signs of fear at this moment. So, she forced herself to calm down before raising her head to look at her young mistress:

"Miss, what would you like to do I've searched everywhere in the imperial kitchen today, and that person is truly gone. The palace is heavily guarded now, Miss. It's best not to act rashly, lest we expose ourselves."

"It's nothing. Just a trip to the imperial kitchen. Your young mistress isn't that incompetent, she can't even cover her tracks."

But...

Xiao Hong's heart was pounding, she still wanted to stop her, but Huāduǒ raised her hand to stop her from continuing. "Alright, I have already made my decision. There is nothing else to say."

After speaking, the flower turned and returned to her inner chamber.

Tonight, since she was going to take action, she had to be prepared for everything. The first step, of course, was to make sure the emperor slept even more soundly.er Mo Yun Jing before he turned and left with An Xue Tang.Mo Yunjing stood motionless on the spot, while Yun Si and Eleven beside him looked at each other in astonishment.I have to admit, they'd been...
