Chapter 71 Sooner or later you will know

Xu Youzhen was in the concierge of the Yi Prince's Mansion, a little restless.

He had been here for more than an hour. In the past, if he came, the concierge would be polite. When he reported it, at least the officials from the Chief Secretary of the Palace would come out to receive it and ask for the purpose of the visit.

But so far, no official from the royal palace saw him. Moreover, he entered the gatehouse on the east side, without a cup of tea. Instead, two more royal palace guards with weapons stood at the door.

After staying for a while, he felt something was wrong and decided to leave decisively. However, the two guards at the door let him intimidate and show the power of the Censorate, and ignored him at all. Looking at the weapons on the two of them and their cold eyes, he really didn't have the courage to leave forcibly.

After waiting for a long time as if he was sitting on pins and needles, someone finally came, but the person who came just looked at him through the window, said a few words to the guards, and then planned to leave.

He shouted decisively: "I want to see Xu Bai!"

This sentence is much more useful than talking to the guards. Not long after the man left, Xu Bai's figure soon appeared in front of him.

"I thought Lord Xu had forgotten me a long time ago!"

Xu Bai walked in with a smile, "Mr. Xu is here at this time, is there a case that wants us prince to come over and observe?"

"What happened in the royal palace? Is it okay?" Xu Youzhen grabbed Xu Bai's arm and asked softly.

"How could something happen in the royal palace?" Xu Bai smiled: "Mr. Xu is so interesting to speak. The prince basked in the inner courtyard for an afternoon of sunshine, and he was very comfortable!"

"That's good, that's good!" Xu Youzhen patted her chest and looked at the guard outside the door: "I'm really worried about something happening!"

"It's just that a few unclear hands and feet were infiltrated into the palace. They were just cleaning the portal!" Xu Bai said lightly: "I've neglected Lord Xu, forgive me!"

Xu Youzhen was stunned: "Cleaning up a few unclean hands and feet?"

Xu Bai frowned: "Does Lord Xu think that our palace will do something else?"

"That's not, probably not!" Xu Youzhen wanted to speak but stopped and hesitated for a moment: "Can Xu see the prince at this moment? Xu has important matters to report to the prince!"

"This... depends on what's important thing!" Xu Bai glanced at him sideways, and he was a little disdainful of this guy's behavior of making money. The promised money can't be seen for one or two. Is it true that the civil servants of the court are of this kind?

When Xu Youzhen saw Xu Bai's eyes, she immediately smiled bitterly. Of course he understood what Xu Bai meant, but the money he used to speak had not been obtained yet. If it weren't for this sudden incident, he would have come with the money.

"There are five hundred taels of silver here. Brother Xu has worked hard to serve the prince. I have to trouble Brother Xu to inform you!"

"Mr. Xu, don't kill me, I dare not take it!" Xu Bai said with a smile: "It's too late at this time. Lord Xu should go back early. The prince has a lot of things, so I'm afraid I don't have time to see Lord Xu!"

Xu Youzhen was anxious. When he saw Xu Bai getting up, he grabbed Xu Bai's sleeve and said in his ear: "It's the matter in the palace, Brother Xu, it's the matter in the palace, and it's not delayed!"

Xu Bai's body froze, turned around and looked at Xu Youzhen, reached out to grab the silver notes in the other party's hand: "Come with me..."

Xu Youzhen hurriedly followed him. At this moment, the civil strife of the royal palace was not long before. There were still some messy things everywhere in the royal palace, and in some places, there were servants washing the blood on the ground.

Xu Youzhen saw all this while walking. He remained silent, but was secretly shocked. This was not something that could be done by cleaning up a few unclean servants. It seemed that although King Yi was young, he was still very informative. He must have known something to do these things in the palace.

He went straight to the inner courtyard of the royal palace. Xu Bai walked straight to the inner courtyard. Xu Youzhen was stunned and said nothing. He trotted and followed. The guard at the entrance of the inner courtyard just looked at them coldly, without any action.

"My minister Xu Youzhen, please come to see the prince for a thousand years..."

As soon as he saw King Yi, Xu Youzhen knelt down without saying a word and couldn't get up.

Xu Bai walked to King Yi and said a few words. The doubts on King Yi's face were slightly reduced: "It's you, Xu Youzhen, the Censor Xu, do you say you have something in the palace and you want to report it to me?"

"Please take your back and forth! I have something important to report!" Xu Youzhen looked up and whispered.

King Yi looked around and saw that beside him, except Wan Zhen'er, Qin Ji, and Xu Bai who came in from outside with Xu Youzhen. He suddenly felt anger.

"Civilian Xu, come to the inner courtyard of my palace and ask me to take my left and right away. What do you mean?" He pointed at Xu Youzhen, "Aside from you, you are all loyal and brave people. You don't even have this little self-knowledge. What are the important things you dare to report?"

He frowned: "Fork him out for me!"

"Prince, please calm down!" Xu Youzhen immediately said loudly: "It's not that I am arrogant, but that if the matter I report is leaked, I'm afraid that the head of the people will be lost!"

"It's just that Your Majesty has not had much time!" Xu Bai suddenly said softly.

This was heard in Xu Youzhen's ears. Although his voice was small, it seemed like a bolt from the blue. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Xu Bai.

"Tell me!" King Yi's face also became serious, his little face tense, "Don't continue to make me angry!"

"The Empress Dowager summoned Shi Heng today!" Xu Youzhen paused, and then said: "Then Shi Heng began to dispatch guards in the palace. Except for the four guards of Tengxiang, all guards were all transferred! Not to mention other guards, even the Jinyiwei, there was no one left in the palace!"

"Hmm, then what?"

"Prince, what else do you need? Then, what should I do in the palace to adjust defense? " Xu Youzhen was anxious, not caring that King Yi was just a teenage child, and explained urgently: "Outside the palace city, Yu Qian controls all military power. It is impossible for the empress dowager to mobilize military power. Shi Heng has always been valued by His Majesty and restrained Yu Qian. The only person who can use the empress dowager is. At this moment, all the guards in the palace have been replaced by Shi Heng's confidant. I'm afraid there is a big deal to do it!"

"Has the Empress Dowager summoned King Xiang into the palace?" King Yi's face was as deep as water and did not speak. Xu Bai, who was on the side, digested the news and asked slowly.

"At least, before I came to tell the prince the news, there was no such thing as this!" Xu Youzhen said affirmatively.
