"I felt that it wasn't good to stay at home alone and do nothing, so I went out. I also wanted to see how Zhao Shengming was doing recently. I didn't expect to meet Fu Ruihai.”Huangfu Ye said unhappily. Worried that Yi Yun would not reprimand him, she hurriedly changed the topic." By the way, what happened in Beijing these few days? Did Zhao Shengming and Zhao Luyan do anything new?”
"Zhao Luyan is entering the palace." Yi Yun said calmly.
"Enter the palace?" Huangfu Ye was very surprised at first, but then he suddenly understood. He sneered and said," You're going to be an empress, right?" Zhao Luyan and Zhao Shengming had obtained the luminous pearl, and their future was limitless. Had Zhao Shengming been promoted to a higher rank and become a king? Zhao Luyan entering the palace this time, was she going to become the Empress? If it weren't for the Night-Luminescent Pearl and my father's death, would they have the status they have today? Sooner or later, I will make these two demons pay with their blood.”After saying that, he clenched his fists tightly, expressing his anger.
" Young Master Huangfu, calm down." Yi Yun pressed down on his shoulders in an attempt to calm him down. When he saw that he had finally calmed down, he continued," I know you hate them very much and wish to kill them to vent your personal anger. But now is not the time. Going over like this is just suicide. It is not worth it. You are right. Zhao Shengming was praised for this matter, but he was not promoted. Zhao Luyan did not enter the palace this time to be a consort, but to be a servant girl, the servant girl of Consort Chen, Lu Yueqin.”
"Little girl?" Huangfu Ye was very puzzled. How could this be? They had obtained the Night-Luminescent Pearl and should have been rewarded. Why didn't they get it? This didn't make sense.
"Young Master Huangfu might not know this, but this year is the 50th birthday of the Emperor's most beloved Consort Shu. The Emperor is very happy and has granted amnesty to the world. Within three years, he will no longer recruit any beautiful women into the palace. Three years later, Zhao Luyan would be twenty-three years old, and it would be impossible for her to enter the palace.”Yi Yun explained.
"Looks like they worked for nothing. They really brought this upon themselves.”Huangfu Ye sighed.
"But Zhao Luyan didn't want to give up. She had worked hard for so long and finally obtained the Night-Luminescent Pearl. She thought that she would be favored and rise to fame. Thus, she thought of another way. She would become a servant girl by Lu Yueqin's side and get closer to the Emperor step by step.”
"Lu Yueqin is Lu Wangyuan's daughter. Lord Lu and my father are close friends. Fu Ruihai told me that Lord Lu was unwilling to see Zhao Shengming hurt Shen Xiyin and Li Feng, so he tried to stop him. In a fit of anger, Zhao Shengming harmed him, causing Lord Lu to be unconscious for a long time. Lord Lu is very dissatisfied with Zhao Shengming. I think Zhao Luyan has failed this time. Lu Yueqin will never agree to her request.”Huangfu Ye said confidently.
"But as far as I know, Lu Yueqin has already promised her.”Yi Yun said unintentionally.
"That's impossible. How could Lu Yueqin agree to her request?”Huangfu Ye shook his head in disbelief." Even if Lu Yueqin could agree to it, Lord Lu wouldn't. He was so close to my father and hated Zhao Shengming to the bone. How is that possible?”
"As the saying goes, a wise man understands the times. This was the capital, Zhao Shengming's territory. With Lu Wangyuan's power, he couldn't fight with Zhao Shengming. Besides, you're already dead. What's the point of fighting Zhao Shengming? I heard that Lu Yueqin and He Huafeng are having an ambiguous relationship. Zhao Luyan found out about it in Jiangluo City. If Zhao Luyan were to report it, she would be beheaded. Lu Yueqin was timid by nature, and in order to keep the peace, she had no choice but to listen to Zhao Luyan. Young Master Huangfu, if Lu Yueqin hadn't said those words when you were in Jiangluo City and met that assassin, would you have believed that Shen Xiyin and Li Feng wanted to harm Lu Wangyuan?”
Huangfu Ye suddenly realized what was going on. If Lu Yueqin hadn't said those things, he wouldn't have thought that Shen Xiyin and Li Feng were going to harm Lu Wangyuan. He wouldn't have suspected that they were the enemies who killed his father. Suddenly, he realized that it was all Zhao Luyan and Zhao Shengming's doing. In that case, it was not impossible for Lu Yueqin to listen to Zhao Luyan's arrangements and bring her into the Imperial Palace. He let out a long sigh and said," Every man for himself. At first, I didn't believe this saying, but now it seems that I have no choice but to believe it. Even Uncle Lu has done this. There is no one in this world worth trusting." Originally, I wanted to ask Lord Lu for help, but now it seems that there's no hope. I have to rely on myself.”
"So, Young Master Huangfu doesn't even trust me?”Yi Yun asked with a smile. His heart was pounding. It had been a long time since he had made Huangfu Ye completely trust him. It seemed that Fu Ruihai had guessed correctly. A fall into a pit, a gain in wisdom. Huangfu Ye was indeed not as easy to fool as before. He had to be extremely careful.
Huangfu Ye smiled." Mister Yi, you're not me. You can't understand my thoughts. I'm afraid of being lied to, so I don't dare to trust others. I have no choice. I know that you might really be doing this for my own good and want to take revenge on Zhao Shengming with me. I promise you, but I can't trust you completely. Even if you tell me so much, I can only be skeptical. However, don't worry. I, Huangfu Ye, will never betray my friends. I won't tell anyone about your presence here.”
"Young Master Huangfu, you don't have to say anything. I trust you. What you're worried about is not unreasonable. We're strangers who met by chance. Although we have a common goal, we're not family after all. I can understand if you don't believe me. However, I hope that we can work together, especially on Zhao Shengming's matter. If we can cooperate with each other, we might have a better chance of success. Young Master Huangfu, please consider it carefully.”Yi Yun did not beat around the bush.
"I will consider Mister Yi's suggestion. I also know that I can't succeed on my own. I still need Mister Yi's help. However, I hope that Mister Yi can tell us everything before each operation to avoid any misunderstandings.”Huangfu Ye suggested.
" This…" Yi Yunfei hesitated for a moment before saying," Alright, as long as Young Master Huangfu trusts me, I will tell you the truth the next time. I will not hide anything.”
Thank you, Mister Yi." Huangfu Ye bowed slightly and asked," What does Mister Yi plan to do next?”
Yi Yun thought for a moment before saying,""Currently, there are only three of us. If we want to deal with Zhao Shengming, it's like hitting an egg against a rock. We need to attach ourselves to a force that can contend with Zhao Shengming and defeat him.”
"You're right. We should find such a person.”Huangfu Ye nodded in agreement." But Zhao Shengming is now the second most powerful person in the world. I heard that many people have opposed him, such as the Grand Preceptor He Zhong and Lord Lu, but none of them succeeded. The others were also angry but did not dare to say anything. Therefore, it is not easy to find such a person.”
Yi Yun was speechless." As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world. If you put your heart into it, you will be able to find such a person. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to find such a person. I have a very good candidate right now. If I can get close to him, this matter will be 100% certain.”
"Who is it?" Huangfu Ye asked hurriedly. He really couldn't think of any force in the world that could contend with Zhao Shengming.
Yi Yunfei looked at him and smiled meaningfully,""Zhao Shengming's master…the current emperor.”
"It's him?" Huangfu Ye was surprised. This answer was indeed surprising. On careful thought, Yi Yun's words made sense. If there was someone in this world who could contend with Zhao Shengming and succeed, that person would definitely be the current Emperor. However, Zhao Shengming was his right-hand man and had done so much for him. Why should he deal with Zhao Shengming? This didn't make sense.
Seeing Huangfu Ye frown and remain silent for a long time, Yi Yun could guess what he was thinking. "I know what you're thinking. To the current Emperor, Zhao Shengming is indeed a talent. He has made great contributions to him." Therefore, there was a suspicion that Zhao Shengming had overshadowed his master. Moreover, Zhao Shengming had done many things and knew many secrets, such as the secrets of the luminous pearl and the sixth prince. However, the emperor did not want too many people to know about these things. Therefore, Zhao Shengming would inevitably end up like a dead rabbit and a dead dog.”
"How did you know about this? Did your friend tell you about it?”Huangfu Ye continued to ask," That friend of yours sure knows a lot of things.”
Yi Yun felt a little uncomfortable. After some thought, he explained,""He told me some of it, and I judged some of it myself, but I won't be wrong. You can rest assured.”As he spoke, he looked at Huangfu Ye confidently. After a pause, he continued," Zhao Luyan has no chance to enter the palace this time, but He Zhong's daughter, He Yunxiu, can make an exception and enter the palace. Do you know why? Because the Emperor wanted to deal with Zhao Shengming, he needed He Zhong, an elder of the three dynasties, to openly fight against Zhao Shengming. The Emperor would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but the Emperor would be the one to benefit from the outcome. Although the emperor has placed He Zhong in an important position, He Zhong is definitely not Zhao Shengming's opponent. With the emperor's help, I think both sides will suffer in the end. At first, I wanted to rely on He Zhong, but now it seems that he's just a chess piece, so I can't follow him. If he wanted to retreat safely, he could only rely on the current emperor.”
"But that's the Imperial Palace after all, not everyone can enter. It's easier said than done if we want to rely on the Emperor.”Huangfu Ye thought rather pessimistically.
"Actually, it's not difficult to enter. I recently heard that the emperor has a chronic illness-headache. The imperial physicians in the palace are helpless and are currently looking for folk doctors. If we can use this opportunity to cure the emperor's illness, perhaps we can stay in the palace.”
"But you and I aren't doctors. We don't know how to treat patients at all. It's easier said than done to go in.”
"Although we're not doctors, there are doctors here. Guan Feng is well-read in medical books, and his father is a famous doctor, so I plan to let him go.”
"Is he suitable?" Huangfu Ye was worried. This was not a small matter. If anything went wrong, he would lose his head. He couldn't help but look at Guan Feng's room. Guan Feng was already resting, so he wouldn't be able to hear their conversation.
"How is it inappropriate?" Yi Yunfei retorted," I asked him before if he could cure this illness. He said that there was no problem and that it was not difficult, so I was confident.”
"I didn't expect you to be prepared." Huangfu Ye came to a realization. Yi Yun had already thought of everything.
"If I wasn't completely confident, I wouldn't dare to say it.”
"So, you've already thought of how to let him enter the palace?”Huangfu Ye continued asking. When he saw Yi Yunfei nod, he asked," Then when do you plan to let him in?”
"We can't be too anxious about this matter. There's still one thing that hasn't been done properly. If that thing succeeds, this matter will be logical.”Yi Yun said with a sigh. Suddenly, he saw Huangfu Ye's puzzled gaze and recalled the promise he had made. He said," This matter was helped by my friend in the Zhao manor. He has a say in front of Zhao Luyan. If we get Zhao Luyan to recommend us, everything will go smoothly. Young Master Huangfu, I know you don't want to have any dealings with Zhao Luyan, but we have no other choice. Do you know the story of enduring hardships and tasting gall? If you want to overthrow Zhao Luyan, you must first use Zhao Luyan. Because we have no other choice.”
