Things are getting serious.

The room was silent, and the dim yellow candlelight was swaying in the wind, almost extinguished.

Hua Zhimeng sat on the chair. Although she was dissatisfied, she was a little happy in her heart. Everyone cared about her so much, so what reason did she have to be unhappy!

A gust of wind blew, making the curtains rustle.

Di Xiaojie was the first to break the silence.

"Xie Yun assassinated the emperor because Lei Ting used her family as hostages. From this point of view, Lei Ting's goal has not been achieved, and she will not give up."

Xu Ruoxuan nodded: "That's true, but we can't tell the emperor to be wary of Lei Ting."

Ai Feier smiled lightly: "I think Xie Yun is in a very dangerous situation. Now that Lei Ting knows that her secret has been leaked, it is very likely that she will kill Xie Yun to silence her."

Di Xiaoxin was a little surprised: "Does Lei Ting dare to kill people in the cold palace?"

"This is completely possible!" Di Xiaojie unexpectedly agreed with what Avril said this time.

"Then what should we do now?" Di Xiaoxin had no idea.

Ai Feier smiled faintly: "I don't think it's better than this. I sneak into the cold palace and protect Xie Yun secretly."

"This is not good. You are a man, how can you lurk in the cold palace, and there are many experts in the palace. Wouldn't it be very bad if you were discovered by Feng!" Di Xiaoxin was a little worried.

Everyone could see it, but no one said it out loud. Some things would be bad if said out loud.

It was already late at night. Ye Xing looked at everyone and finally said: "I think everyone should go to rest first. It is better for us to wait and see how this matter will develop, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The next day, the weather was a little gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain.

The wind was so strong that it stirred up dust and sand on the street, making people almost afraid to open their eyes and walk.

After Ye Xing arrived at the palace, he realized that what happened last night was a big deal.

Zhu Di was very angry, but no one knew why he was angry.

Ye Xing went to see the emperor, but he did not dare to say a word. After a long time, Zhu Di finally said, "You already know what happened last night, right?"

Ye Xing nodded quickly: "I've heard a little bit about it!"

Zhu Di slammed the table: "That Concubine Ting is so brave. She dared to go to the Leng Palace. She simply doesn't take me seriously. Even if I don't want the concubines in the Leng Palace, I treat them as my concubines after all. , my concubine, how can you allow others to dictate."

It turned out that Zhu Di was angry because Lei Ting went to Leng Palace without authorization. After Ye Xing learned the news, he felt much relieved.

"I wonder what the emperor wants to do with Concubine Ting?" Ye Xing asked tentatively.

Zhu Di pondered for a long time and said: "I don't want to punish her, I just want her to know that the cold palace is not the place where a concubine like her should go."

"What about Concubine Yun?" Ye Xing asked again.

"I have sent people to guard the Cold Palace. From now on, no one can enter the Cold Palace without my order!"

Xie Yun's safety is guaranteed, all of which is beneficial to Ye Xing.

After the emperor's emotions calmed down, Zhu Di said: "I have sent people to find Lei Batian, and I already have news."

"So Lei Batian is coming to see you soon?" Ye Xing asked excitedly.

Zhu Di nodded: "According to the spies' report, we can arrive in the capital at noon today."

"Where did Lei Batian go?" Ye Xing asked with some confusion.

“I didn’t go there, just had some fun nearby!”

Ye Xing did not go back. He played chess with Zhu Di all morning. Although Ye Xing's chess skills were not very good, he was still somewhat passable.

At noon, Lei Batian came. When he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and shouted loudly, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Ye Xing knew that Lei Batian had helped Zhu Di during the Battle of Jingnan, so the two of them should have met before.

Ye Xing guessed right. After Lei Batian finished shouting, Zhu Di laughed a few times, and then said excitedly: "Lei Aiqing, back then I wanted to make you a high official, but you insisted on becoming a head catcher. , I didn’t expect that a few years later, your daughter would grow up and become my concubine. All this can be regarded as God’s will, and you and I can be together again.”

Lei Batian hurriedly thanked him: "It is my blessing that my daughter was promoted to youth by the emperor. I dare not take credit for it."

Zhu Di laughed again: "You will be my uncle from now on. You don't have to be so formal. If you have nothing to do, come to the palace to visit your daughter!"

Zhu Di and Lei Batian talked about their daily routine, and then Ye Xing got to talking.

"I wonder why Uncle Guo left without saying goodbye?" Ye Xing looked at Lei Batian and asked, Lei Batian smiled sheepishly: "To be honest, after my daughter was selected as the concubine, I felt a lot more at ease. So I wanted to walk around, but I didn’t have time to say goodbye to the prince, I’m really sorry!”

At this time, Ye Xing remembered that he was already the Ming Dynasty king conferred by the emperor.

Ye Xing had nothing to say. At this time, the emperor said to Lei Batian: "Last night, your daughter went to the cold palace privately. When you have time, just persuade her to calm down and do her own thing!" "

Lei Batian was startled and immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, Weichen will definitely do as you are told!"

After Lei Batian left, the emperor ordered Ye Xing to do a few things. Ye Xing left the palace after accepting the order.

After Ye Xing left the palace, he was very excited, but he was excited. After he returned to the Zhongshan Palace, he said to Hua Zhimeng and the others: "I feel that Lei Batian left without saying goodbye, and it must not be to play nearby. So we must closely monitor his every move."

Hua Zhimeng nodded in agreement: "Yes, even if Lei Batian wants to go for a walk nearby, why would he bring Sun Xi and Lei Wan with him? I think this matter is too suspicious."

"Okay, in that case, we will be busy these days and keep an eye on Lei Batian!"

Everyone agreed.

So they were divided into several groups and assigned to investigate Lei Batian's every move.

It's just that two days passed like this, and Lei Batian didn't do anything suspicious. He drank in the inn when he had nothing to do, and went into the palace to chat with his daughter from time to time. Later, when the emperor saw that Uncle Guo was still living in the inn, he felt a little bit. After wronging him, he was rewarded with a house.

But these days, they have found no trace of Sun Xi and Lei Wan, they seem to have disappeared.

But the more this happened, the more they felt that Lei Batian was suspicious.

Judging from Lei Batian's behavior, Ye Xing and the others could not find any suspicious signs. They had no choice but to continue to follow Lei Batian, hoping that Lei Batian would do something due to his negligence. Only then can they continue further.
