Although the late autumn night was already very cold, at this time, I couldn't help but sweat and just looked over there. Then I heard footsteps behind me. When I looked back, Ye Yunshuang was also here to wait.

I nodded at her: "Jie Concubine."

"Um."

Her expression was not very natural. Maybe it was in this place that the name Jieyu made her feel a little distant. When she looked back, she found that everyone around her looked at this side. She didn't say anything and walked silently to the side.

I followed me, too.

"Where is Princess Ling?"

"She, she didn't come. She liked her uncle and stuck to him all day long."

"oh?"

This surprised me a little. It was not that Princess Ling liked Ye Fei, but that Ye Fei's cold and awkward young man actually liked him. It seemed that he had always brought Princess Ling, and that scene - I thought it was funny when I thought about it.

Seeing my smiling eyes, Ye Yunshuang smiled herself.

"When Ah Fei grew up, I was not by his side. Instead, my daughter was so close to him."

"Blood-line affection is wonderful."

"Yes, I've never seen it before..."

As we talked, we slowly walked to the other side. Today, she seemed to have many feelings and kept talking about the past.

I suddenly said, "You said, when you met His Majesty the Emperor when you were in Yangzhou, you have a heart of your own since then. Is Master Ye willing to let you go?"

Ye Yunshuang's face slightly sank, and she shook her head and said, "Of course not."

“…”

"He didn't know about this at first, but when he found out, he was furious and almost locked me up."

“…”

"Why did it allow it later?"

"Because of the head of the family."

"Qingchen?"

"Yes." Ye Yunshuang nodded and said, "But at that time, he was not the head of the family. But he came to find his father and talked with him for a long time. Although I don't know what the conversation was, after that, I will--"

I understood what she said before I could finish.

It was because Qingchen was sitting in the middle that she was able to enter the palace and serve the emperor.

I thought for a while and said, "So, you said before, they asked you to go to the palace to check what major decisions the imperial court had made back then, which was Qingchen's instructions?"

"Yes."

"Then, what did you find?"

"Nothing was found," Ye Yunshuang raised her head and looked at me, and said with a wry smile: "Not everyone is a young lady."

“…”

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The only one who can talk to the emperor about the affairs of the previous dynasty is the eldest lady; and I can't ask any more questions, let alone investigate those major issues."

I was stunned for a while.

Looking back, even when I was enthroned as a talented person, I did not have the consciousness of "not interfering in politics in the harem". Not only did I follow him, but I also intervened in many things. Fortunately, he didn't really care about me. Looking back now, I really like to "mess with nosy business".

But even so, some major events are not something we can encounter.

Just like "There are three emperors", just like the Longxi Army, I have not figured out any of these things until now.

I asked, "I really didn't find anything? No big thing happened?"

Ye Yunshuang walked forward, lowered her head, showing a bit of loneliness, and said, "Yes, there is no big deal. Come and go, just a few small things - theft, killing."

"kill?"

I looked at her: "Who did you kill?"

Although it is called "killing" and "human life is at stake", in fact, in the palace, killing is too common. Whether it is to openly launch the Meridian Gate to behead or to unknowingly kill a life in the harem, such things are common, so Ye Yunshuang himself doesn't care much about it.

When she heard me ask, she thought for a while before saying, "A Taoist priest."

"Taoist priest? What kind of Taoist priest?"

"I don't know this. It's not easy to find out this after so long. I heard that it was the order of Emperor Gao."

“…”

I stopped and stood there, and my mind suddenly recalled the desirelessness.

Before his death, he told me that his master had served the emperor in the palace, that is, my grandfather, Emperor Li, but later, he died in the deep palace inexplicably. However, the one who killed him was not the Emperor Li he served, but the high emperor of this dynasty.

If you guess correctly, what you say without desire should be the same as what Ye Yunshuang said.

I asked hurriedly, "What did I find out? Why did I kill him?"

Ye Yunshuang suddenly became interested in this matter for some reason. She looked at me in surprise and said, "There is nothing special. Such Taoist priests who enter the palace are nothing more than refining medicine for the emperor, immortal medicine, etc., of course, it is a fraud. If there were indeed such medicine, they would have taken it by themselves long ago, so how could they give it to others?"

"Was that Taoist priest refined medicine in the palace?"

"Yes."

“…”

I couldn't help but frown.

The master who is indescribable has been serving my grandfather. People like my grandfather are really likely to hang out with Taoists and seek immortality. It is also possible to fly to immortality. However, with the high emperor's temperament, such people should not be left in the palace.

However, in terms of time, he seemed to not only leave this Taoist priest who served the last emperor of the previous dynasty in the palace, but also for a long time before he secretly executed him.

A little strange.

I hurriedly asked Ye Yunshuang: "Have you found anything else?"

Ye Yunshuang shook her head: "There are nothing else."

So, after all the years she entered the palace, she has returned in vain in what Qingchen explained?

I asked, "Then, have you told Qingchen about this?"

Ye Yunshuang nodded and said, "I said that the last time I returned to the Yan family, I told the head of the family."

"What did he say?"

"He, he was silent for a long time and didn't say anything, and asked me to say this carefully again."

"Then what?"

"Then? Nothing, then I left."

“…”

I stood there motionless, frowning and thinking.

I thought this matter was a strange story. After all, the matter of Taoist monks had nothing to do with me. Once Yan Wuyan died, his affairs would be destroyed by dust. However, Qingchen asked Ye Yunshuang to say this matter again and again, which means that he cared about this matter.

At least, he heard some clues in this matter.

But, what is it?

All he cared about was Xichuan, only the dilemma that Xichuan was facing. Or, in other words, the great disaster he asked Ye Yunshuang to go to the palace to investigate should also be related to this, but what Ye Yunshuang found back was the death of a Taoist priest who seemed to have nothing to do with Xichuan.
