Zhu Fangyuan opened his eyes wide, "Could it be that Song Yunli is colluding with the Southern Champion States?"

Song Yungang said: "That's a possibility. Before this Princess Nanyun came, so many things had happened all of a sudden. It is naturally a messy time. Furthermore, according to the pace of the journey, Princess Nanyun should have arrived two days ago, but has not arrived yet.

Song Yunqian nodded, "That's right, we should be there by now."

Thunder rumbled, shaking the earth. A lightning bolt split open the sky like a silver flower, and a torrential downpour followed soon after.

Everyone retreated to the front of the corridor, watching the first heavy rain of the summer. This was a warning. A storm was about to begin.

Zhong Lou was sent back to the palace, and An Ran and An Yi also entered the palace together.

The imperial concubine wanted to see her granddaughter, so she brought in her wet nurse for the princess to see for a few days.

In the rain, Wen Yi was helped onto the carriage along with Zhuge Ming.

After Zhuge Ming injected the needles, although Wen Yi still could not see, her sense of smell had recovered by a large amount.

The carriage sped through the torrential rain towards the Marquis' House. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.

Originally, he did not want Wen Yi to know about the Marquis of Jing Guo's matter, but with the danger that was pressing on him, he did not have much time to grieve.

Zhuge Ming declared to the outside world that the Marquis of Jing would need at least three to six months to recover from his injuries and coma.

Because the Marquis of Jing Guo held the position of the Minister of War, the Ministry of War could not lack people who made decisions. Therefore, the Emperor suggested that Chen Yuanqing take the position of the President of the Ministry of War for the time being, until the Marquis of Jing Guo woke up.

This suggestion, was unanimously approved by the court officials, and even Liang Gui and Zhang Xianhui, who usually disliked singing, did not have any objections.

At the same time, the Ministry of Justice interrogated the Blue Doctor.

As a witness, Zhuge Ming denied that Empress Dowager was poisoned, and the rest of the imperial doctors were unable to confirm that Empress Dowager was poisoned. As for Blue Doctor, he also changed his confession and said that those Gu worm were raised by him, in order to study the poison.

As there was not enough evidence to prove that he poisoned the Empress Dowager, he was acquitted. However, because he had been treating the Empress Dowager for a long time without any progress and was guilty of dereliction of duty, he was dismissed as a commoner.

As for Wen Yi, she did not stay in the Duke Palace, but instead, went to the decoction's headquarters.

This move caused many people in the capital to be shocked, of course, many people suddenly "remembered" that Wen Yi was the master of the Flying Dragon Sect, so what was the relationship between the decoction and the Flying Dragon Sect?

This news made Liang Gui and Zhang Xianhui extremely uneasy.

"Guess, the Sect Leader of the decoction could be someone from the Flying Dragon Sect?" Liang Gui asked Zhang Xianhui.

Zhang Xianhui thought for a moment, "decoction's Sect Master, you and I have never met. decoction has always been under Liang Man's care."

"Yes, he is not the Sect Master. Could it be that Liang Man is from the Flying Dragon Sect? decoction is willing to be used by Flying Dragon Sect? " The more Liang Gui thought about it, the more terrified she became.

"Then the reason why Wen Yi is staying in decoction is already very clear."

"Can they guess that it was us?" Their plan had gone very smoothly. Although the Marquis of Jing Guo had not died, he was unconscious on the bed and Chen Yuanqing was the one who was going to take over Ministry of War. All they needed now was to rope Chen Yuanqing in.

But why did he feel uneasy?

Or was there something that they hadn't guessed at?

"Don't worry about all that for now, I've already made an appointment with Chen Yuanqing tonight. Tomorrow morning, I believe that Princess Nanyun will also be coming to the capital. The Ministry of Rites also told me that they will temporarily arrange for Princess Nanyun to be residing in the Imperial Family Courtyard."

"This Princess Nanyun can be roped in for a while. Tomorrow night, I will personally pay a visit." Liang Gui said.

"That's fine too, this Princess Nanyun is not simple. If she enters the palace, she will definitely become an imperial concubine. If she can rope us in, she will definitely surpass our daughters by who knows how many times." Zhang Xianhui sighed.

They had been in the palace for so many years, yet they didn't have the slightest bit of success. They hadn't even seen the emperor face to face. Otherwise, why would they spend so much time and effort to scheme against him?

The scout group's spies were constantly searching the vicinity of the peak of wolf, but there was no news about them.

When Qian Shan returned to the Sikong Residence, he had been hiding within the manor the entire time. The Sikong couple were extremely worried.

They were extremely satisfied with this son-in-law of theirs.

"Lv Ning is really a good man. In order to save Qian Shan, he even lost his life. How can we face the Lu family?" Madam Sikong said as tears streamed down her face.

In his heart, Si Kong was also extremely upset. However, he could not just keep saying these words, "In front of Qian Shan, you can't say it like that. She will die from grief."

"I know, how would I dare to say it? I didn't dare to say a word, I could only silently accompany her. Ah, this child's life is very bitter. She wasn't by our side when she was young, and after finally being able to recognize us, these things happened again after just a few days of peace. "

"Alright, stop talking. Don't always cry in front of Qian Shan. Wouldn't it make her feel even worse if she saw it?"

"Understood, I will go to the Lu family tonight to comfort the old lady. Lv Ning had lost his mother long ago and grew up in front of his grandfather and grandmother, the old lady will probably not be able to take it anymore."

Sikong Mingyue's expression was dejected. That's right, who would calmly accept a white-haired man sending a black-haired man away? If not for Lv Ning, the ones who suffered today would probably be them.

The Southern Champion Princess Yunzhen finally arrived at the capital.

The long procession walked for an hour before finally entering the capital.

Emperor Nanke doted on his daughter, and was afraid that his daughter would be wronged, so he sent three thousand elite soldiers to her as guards.

These three thousand elite soldiers were all selected. They were all highly skilled in martial arts, good at fighting, and also good at fighting alone.

Because they were the troops under the Southern Champion, they could only enter the capital once. Afterwards, they would withdraw from the capital and stand guard in the outskirts of the capital.

According to etiquette, Princess Nanyun would first need to enter the palace to pay respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. However, due to the long journey, the Emperor had specially allowed her to rest for a day before heading to the palace tomorrow.

The Princess Nanyun sent people to express her gratitude and temporarily stayed in the Imperial Palace.

When the Princess Nanyun just arrived, there were many officials in the court who brought gifts to pay their respects.

Everyone knew that the Emperor would definitely not casually bestow the title of a noble genius on the eldest princess of the Southern Champion, so she had to be the imperial concubine.

Currently, there was only one imperial concubine in the imperial harem, and that was Liang Gui's daughter, Noble Consort Lan.

But so what? Wasn't it the same as being favored by the Emperor?

However, when the officials arrived at the courtyard, they did not see Princess Yunzhen. The guard beside the princess said that she had already left.

That was strange, the princess had just arrived and she was already out? To see who?

Did she have friends in the capital?

This was impossible. She had just arrived, so she was afraid that she hadn't even warmed up her chair yet.

Everyone felt that the Princess Yunzhen did not want to meet with anyone, which was why she had spread the news out. Many officials already thought that she was arrogant, after all, she was the Southern Champion Emperor's most beloved princess.

In truth, these officials wronged Princess Yunzhen, she had really gone out.

Moreover, the person she was visiting, was none other than Wen Yi.

Even Wen Yi did not expect that when Princess Yunzhen came to the capital, she would be the first one to pay a visit.
