591 Entering the Palace (3)

Of course, there was another person in the harem who had a son, Concubine Jing. However, the Sixth Prince was still young, and Concubine Jing did not have the ability to fight for him.

She didn’t appear even after such a big incident today. Clearly, she had given up.

However, Shangguan Pu did not buy Consort Shu’s words. “Father hasn’t woken up yet. If anything happens, there will be imperial physicians waiting on him. Consort Shu can’t take care of him even if she wants to. It’s better to go back first.”

The concubines, who were originally unwilling to leave, saw that Consort Shu was not doing well. Now, they really did not dare to stay any longer and walked quickly.

Shangguan Pu glanced at Eunuch Deng, who immediately walked up to Consort Shu. “Consort Shu, please.”

Consort Shu had a vague guess in her heart. She gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

After sending the concubines away, Shangguan Pu looked at Xuanyuan Ce. “I’ve embarra.s.sed myself in front of an esteemed guest. Please come in.”

Xuanyuan Ce raised his eyebrows. Shangguan Pu had clearly done it on purpose for him to see just now, implying that he had the final say in the palace.

When they walked into Yangxin Hall, they saw Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Yao sitting outside Yangxin Hall. Seeing them, the two of them stood up and greeted Xuanyuan Ce.

“Is Father awake?” Shangguan Pu asked.

Shangguan Yu’s gaze paused on the two guards behind Xuanyuan Ce and he shook his head. “No, the imperial physician is still treating Father’s injuries inside.”

“It just so happened that Princess Yong’an went out. Otherwise, she would definitely have been able to save Father.” Shangguan Yao’s face was filled with anxiety.

Shen Yijia frowned. Shangguan Pu and Shangguan Yao were both born by Imperial Concubine Liu, but from the looks of it, Shangguan Yao probably did not know.

As they spoke, a few imperial physicians walked out of the inner chambers, followed by a few palace maids. Each of them was holding a basin of blood.

Shangguan Pu stood up and said, “I’ll bring Lord Jing’an in to see Father first.”

The sooner they met, the sooner Xuanyuan Ce would leave.

Shen Yijia followed behind Xuanyuan Ce silently. Shangguan Pu glanced at her and wanted to say that there was no need to bring anyone inside.

However, Xuanyuan Ce had already bypa.s.sed him.

Shangguan Pu was speechless.

In the bedchamber, Imperial Concubine Liu sat on a chair by the dragon bed and cried silently. Eunuch Li, who was standing at the side, also looked worried.

Hearing the commotion, Imperial Concubine Liu turned around. Perhaps because she did not expect an outsider to enter, the expression on her face froze, and tears hung under her eyelashes.

As soon as Shen Yijia saw her, she thought of her relations.h.i.+p with the old prince. Looking at her pitiful appearance, she felt a chill down her spine.

Shangguan Pu explained Xuanyuan Ce’s intentions, so Imperial Concubine Liu could only retreat to the side room.

On the bed, the emperor’s face was pale and he was covered with a blanket. For a moment, it was impossible to tell where he was injured.

Shen Yijia’s fingers moved slightly. Looking at the situation in the palace, saving this useless emperor was probably in vain.

This time, Xuanyuan Ce did not go back on his word. He really wanted to take a look, but he had no intention of leaving the palace.

In the end, it was Shangguan Yu who suggested accompanying him to the imperial garden.

The group circled around the imperial garden again.

The imperial guards were still searching.

Shen Yijia really could not take it anymore. Shangguan Yu only had Lianshan with him. She could knock these two out.

As for directly asking Shangguan Yu, Shen Yijia had never thought about it. Not to mention that Song Jingchen had mentioned it many times, she could tell from the fact that the late emperor had poisoned the old prince that no one in the royal family could be trusted!

When she reached the corner of a rockery and noticed that there was no one around, Shen Yijia was about to attack.

“I think I dropped my jade pendant.” Xuanyuan Ce stopped and searched his body for a while. He frowned and instructed, “Help me look for it.”

Shen Yijia paused and looked up to meet Shangguan Yu’s gaze. She frowned and lowered her eyes.

Shangguan Yu retracted his gaze and smiled gently. “Do you want me to get a few people to help look for it?”

Xuanyuan Ce waved his hand. “It’s just an ordinary jade pendant. There’s no need to mobilize so many people.”

“It’s a blessing to be able to find it. If I can’t find it, it means that I have no fate with it.” After saying that, he waved at Shen Yijia to hurry up. “Come back early.”

“Lord Jing’an is wise.” Shangguan Yu smiled and sighed. He pointed at a pavilion not far away. “Why don’t you sit there and wait?”

Xuanyuan Ce said, “Indeed, I’m tired from walking.”

Shen Yijia walked all the way back and stopped when there was no one around. She called out softly, “You Yi.”

As soon as she finished speaking, You Yi appeared in front of her.

“Have you found my husband?”

You Yi shook his head. “No, but I found the place where the old prince was imprisoned. He’s the only one inside.”

Shen Yijia did not know if she should heave a sigh of relief or worry. She thought for a moment and began to undress.

You Yi thought to himself, “So that’s what you’re like.”

Shen Yijia did not know what he was thinking. She took off her guard uniform in no time and revealed her own clothes.

She took off her mask and threw it to You Yi. “Put it on and go back to your master.”

If she left for too long and did not return, Shangguan Yu would definitely suspect her.

You Yi was speechless.
