Because that day was the day that the Third Prince would leave the city to pray for his blessings. This was a rule that was essential to the Imperial Family every year, and there would be no need for many people to accompany them during this period of time.

Xi Mengyao wanted to go over, but the Prime Minister had fulfilled her wish, so he let her be brought along. If she didn't think about it, would she have gone? But who knew that after she returned, Sister Xi Mengyao would be baffled, as if she had suffered some sort of provocation.

He did not eat nor did he rest. He only came out after being cooped up for a few days. However, the moment he came out, he requested for Yu Han to definitely torture Xi Mengyao more.

"It's just that this servant was just a small bodyguard at that time, and really did not have that much power. Helpless, this servant could only look for the Madame Yun."

Madame Yun's most beloved daughter, after hearing this, she also went to find Xi Mengge to discuss. It was unknown how long the two talked for before it stopped in the middle of the night.

Not long after, in the middle of the night, they suddenly arrived at Xi Mengyao's courtyard.

The position she was referring to was roughly the same as the one the black-robed man had mentioned.

"At that time, this servant also felt that it was strange, but I didn't dare to say anything. Now that I think about it, this servant might have also been like before and wanted to curse you."

After hearing this, Xi Mengyao was somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, her stepmother and Xi Mengge should not have enough IQ, but to be able to create such a thing, she should have been instigated by someone.

"Then am I sick?" Xi Mengyao suddenly asked.

Yu Han nodded his head, "After that day, you suffered from an illness that lasted for three consecutive days."

Xi Mengyao remembered clearly about this matter, because the feeling of being sick was not good, and it was different from the others. Although the doctor had seen it before, he said that he did not see any illness.

She kept saying that she had a headache and was scolded by the Prime Minister for being so coquettish. Thus, she was confined for a long time.

Could it be that that group of people had already contacted Xi Mengge earlier?

Although she had her suspicions, this was only a guess, and couldn't be counted on. She thought for a moment, then said to Yu Han: "Then do you know what they did at that time, and who they saw?"

"This servant doesn't know then. This servant never allows you to ask me about these things …" Saying that, Yu Han shook her head, showing a helpless look.

But very quickly, she raised her head to look at Xi Mengyao and said, "But this servant remembers that Madam went to the palace once, and because of some matters, she found Third Prince for His Highness."

"Noble Consort Yun... I've heard that she was once close to him. "

Yu Han nodded.

But she couldn't remember, she could only faintly explain.

It seemed that not long after the emperor ascended to the throne, the State of Yun took advantage of the chaos when the new monarch ascended to the throne and launched a war.

Not wanting to be pacified by the Prince Jing and the generals, Yun Guo not only sent the princess and her family to express his sincerity, but also sent them to them.

After Noble Consort Yun entered the palace, she originally suffered from cold treatment. However, for some reason, she once again gained the Emperor's favor.

After the empress's death, she conferred the title of imperial concubine and became the most favored person in the palace.

"If that's the case, then I heard that they have some spells on their side that are also well-known."

"This servant doesn't know …" Yu Han shook his head.

She then thought of something and quietly said: "However, in the end, Noble Consort Yun is still someone from the palace, it's not that convenient to meet these people. This servant thinks that maybe she found a way to give it to Madame Yun after hearing about this."

Hearing her words, Xi Mengyao nodded her head.

This may sound like a simple meeting, but if the imperial concubine were to meet with someone else in private and do these things, then the emperor would know about it. Not only would he gain favor, he would be merciful if he didn't immediately get himself killed by the staff.

But since it was like this, there was no way to investigate more …

She sighed as she thought, "Since that's the case, I know what you're going to say, so you don't have to be too careful. In this place, I think a lot of people have their hearts set on living a peaceful life. For me to be able to protect you, this is something that I have already promised before.

Yu Han immediately nodded.

But Xi Mengyao did it again, holding her head up.

She didn't care about anything else, but something was strange.

The black-cloaked men hadn't made a single move since the beginning. If they didn't make a move now, they would be waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

"Speaking of which, when the people over there contacted you, have you seen anyone else? Other than those who committed suicide, is there anyone else? If they didn't say anything, then that's fine, just say so."

Xi Mengyao did not dare to say too much.

She had already suspected the Old Housekeeper in her heart, but she felt it was strange.

Old Housekeeper had actually been in the palace for such a long time. With status and money, why would he take such risks to do such a thing?

As she thought, she also sighed and said, "Now, I can't understand this human heart anymore."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and saw that there was someone standing in front of her door.

It was Song Chongjing. He stood there silently, with a cold face, as if he was in a bad mood.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao thought about what she heard today, and understood what was going on, so she asked Yu Han to withdraw first and walked over, sighing: "Why did you come back from the imperial court today, and hear about the bad news, and frown?"

"Didn't you lose your military power? Do you really think that the Emperor will tolerate you for long?"

Xi Mengyao's indifferent tone had instantly calmed him down.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, but that he just didn't want to believe it … He thought, and looked at Xi Mengyao, and saw that her eyes were filled with magnanimity, he frowned: "How do you know what happened today?"

When Xi Mengyao heard this, she could only let out a bitter laugh. She glanced at Song Chongjing and shook his head.

There were already people in the palace keeping an eye on this piece of fat. When they saw the chance, they would naturally use their knives.

It wasn't like Song Chongjing didn't know anything. It was just that his mind wasn't working well and he had forgotten about it. Now, when he thought about how his country had become like this, and how the Emperor still thought about internal strife, his mood became even more displeased.

Then, he looked at Xi Mengyao again, and said coldly: "That Prime Minister of yours, he spoke quite a bit here, right?"

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao was startled, she thought for a moment, then helplessly spread her hands: "There isn't any."

"No?" Hearing that, Song Chongjing was confused.

Logically speaking, even if the Prime Minister didn't participate in this sort of thing, if he was too slow, it would still cause him to feel that something was off.

Now that he heard those words, he felt even more suspicious, but she did not ask in detail, it was likely that Xi Mengyao had a lot of people that did not know either.

After thinking about it, he took another look at Xi Mengyao and asked, "Then, who brought this news?"
