The sky was dark, and the raindrops were falling one after another, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

The person who came to the palace to convey the order was Eunuch Liu, the internal supervisor. He had a long and thin face, a bit of a cunning look, and his attitude was not very humble, which made the people in the medicine shop uncomfortable.

"Guard Duan, are you kidding the Zajia family?" Eunuch Liu glanced dissatisfied at the guards arranged in a weather-proof arrangement in the yard, and laughed strangely, his voice sharp and mean.

"The Za family is following official orders. The Prince of Guangling County doesn't even show his face. Why?"

Duan Sui cupped his hands and laughed, "To be honest with you, Eunuch Liu, the prince has indeed contracted the cold. He will not be able to get out of bed after a long rest today, and it will be inconvenient for him to come out to see each other, let alone enter the palace..."

"Ha! Guard Duan, you are lying."

Duan Sui chuckled, "Eunuch Liu, you and I are just running errands for our master, how can we have the courage to tell such a lie? Please be accommodating, Eunuch Liu, go back and send a message to the officials for the prince, just say wait."

The prince is in better health, and if he goes to the palace to plead guilty, he will avoid exposing his illness to the officials..."

"Duan Sui, you are so brave." Eunuch Liu suddenly darkened his face, looked around the heavily guarded courtyard, twitched the corner of his mouth coldly, and pointed at him.

"Are you doing some witchcraft to confuse the prince..."

He wrote the script based on his imagination alone, "To be honest, has the county prince suffered from your troubles? It's not that he doesn't see the Zajia family, it's that he can't come out to meet people at the moment..."

Duan Sui was shocked and said with a grimace: "Where is this? How can this happen?"

As he said that, he also lowered his face and glanced at Eunuch Liu: "How can you say such unlucky words when it's such a big festival? Eunuch Liu, are you sincerely trying to make things difficult for our county king?"

"Huh! The Zajia family won't argue with a little guard like you."

As he spoke, Eunuch Liu shook his large sleeves, straightened his chest, and rushed in. At the same time, he shouted at the top of his voice.

"The official issued an order, and the Prince of Guangling County accepted the order!"

Duan Sui and Cheng Cang looked at each other, stepped forward one on the left and the other on the right, blocking the tall body in front of Eunuch Liu.

Cheng Cang was not as talkative as Duan Sui. He put his palm directly on the handle of the knife and asked with a cold face:

"What is Eunuch Liu doing? Breaking into a private house?"

Duan Sui followed: "The medicine shop is the property of our prince. The prince is sick and resting inside. How many heads have you grown, Mr. Liu, to dare to break in?"

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

Eunuch Liu glanced at Cheng Cang's hand holding the knife and took a step back in fear.

At this time, Li Fu, who was standing behind him, stepped forward.

Li Fu carefully pulled Eunuch Liu away and whispered something.

Eunuch Liu changed his expression, glanced at Duan Sui, stood to one side with a groan, and walked down the steps.

Li Fu turned around gently and saluted Duan Sui and Cheng Cang.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Guard Cheng, Guard Duan, and Eunuch Liu are actually worried about the safety of Prince Guangling, and they didn't mean to cause trouble."

Duan Sui snorted, "Really? Is it because I'm hard of hearing that all I hear are accusations?"

Li Fu smiled awkwardly and lowered his voice to encourage him.

"Today at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, someone said that there was something strange in the Xinyi Medicine Shop. People often saw the medicine shop carrying strange things inside, as if they were setting up some kind of enchantment array... Alas, after all, she is still the princess of the county.

The officials were worried because of the trouble, saying that she was a witch who was doing magic to confuse the prince, and the officials were helpless..."

Duan Sui's face darkened again and again, and he looked at each other.

"So, today's incident is aimed at our county princess?"

With a polite smile on his face, Li Fu slowly pulled Duan Sui aside and lowered his voice a little lower.

"The Za family will let you know more about it." Li Fu glanced at Eunuch Liu who looked impatient, and whispered: "Gao Xiangguo has arrived in Beijing and is at the official chrysanthemum appreciation banquet."

"So what?"

"Oh my Guard Duan." Li Fu sighed, "Gao Xiangguo brought his daughter, the real prime minister's daughter

.What do you think will happen?”

Duan Sui's face changed slightly and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing his moved expression, Li Fu sighed again, "I won't say much more. We are all servants running errands for our master, and no one should embarrass anyone. Do you think this is a good idea? Please take Eunuch Liu and me in.

Please greet the king in person. With the king’s explanation, it will be easier for us to communicate when we return..."

Duan Sui saw that his expression was also sincere. Xin Yi also said that he wanted to delay, so he hesitated and exchanged a look with Cheng Cang.

"Okay, just wait. I'll go in and ask for instructions."

Li Fu quickly smiled brightly and said, "Yes, yes, Guard Duan, please excuse me."

Sun Huai stood outside the operating room in the side hospital. When he saw Duan Sui coming over, he mouthed something, shook his head, and pointed to the door.

Duan Sui understood what Sun Huai meant, which was to tell him not to disturb Master Jiu.

But this matter is obviously no longer something that their ordinary guards can control. The Prime Minister of Dali entered the palace with a real daughter, and those people in the palace took the opportunity to stir up trouble and blame the princess. If the princess remains awake, they will cause trouble.

Big trouble.

"Ahem... Princess of the county."

Duan Sui bowed his hands and told Xin Yi what happened just now.

"Do you think you should let them take a look at Master Jiu?"

"No." Xin Yi leaned against the door and said in a deep voice: "Master Jiu is not awake, so it is useless what I say. Letting them see people at this time will only cause more trouble."

"Then, what should we do about this matter? That old eunuch named Liu is really difficult to deal with..."

There was no response from the operating room.

After a long while, the small window next to the door opened and a letter was handed out.

"Give this to Eunuch Liu. If he still refuses to go back and resume his life, then give him a chair and let him sit outside. Remember, if you can delay it for a while, don't conflict if you can."

Duan Sui felt happy when he saw that the handwriting on the envelope was written by Fu Jiuqu himself.

"So Master Jiu has been prepared for a long time? My subordinates understand!"

He passed over happily.

There was a handwritten letter from Fu Jiuqu, who also said that the county prince was really seriously ill and it was inconvenient to see people. Together, Eunuch Liu and Li Fuyi did not spend any time with them, and quickly took the people away...

"It's time to leave!"

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xin Yi in the operating room was not so optimistic.

The fact that she was going to perform surgery on Fu Jiuqu was very confidential. Except for a few cronies around Fu Jiuqu and Zhou Daozi, no one knew the truth.

Why did the admonishers suddenly say in front of the officials that the medicine shop was practicing witchcraft?

Also, Gao Xiangguo came to Beijing today and participated in the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. I am afraid that he came here with bad intentions.

Neither Dali nor Song Dynasty want to conflict with their neighboring countries. Now that Gao Minglou has escaped, how will the mess he left behind end? She, the "fake daughter", is likely to become a political victim as the two countries weigh the pros and cons.

Kill her to worship heaven, the two countries will continue to be friendly, and they will have both face and dignity.

Xin Yi looked at Fu Jiuqu who was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, hoping that he would wake up soon.

But contrary to expectations, Fu Jiuqu slept deeply, breathing steadily, and occasionally frowning, as if he was immersed in a deep dream...

"Brother Ninth." Xin Yi stroked his messy hair, "Stop sleeping now, if you continue to sleep, the sky will fall..."

··

There was another fierce quarrel outside, an hour later.

At this time, it was already dark. Xinyi leaned against the door, listened with his ears pricked up, and intuitively guessed that there were many people in the palace, and he was obviously not ready to be nice.

The sound of swords pierced the eardrums, and a high-pitched voice shot straight into the sky.

"The enchantress of Dali pretended to be the prime minister's daughter and deceived the king of Guangling County. The Za family was ordered to arrest anyone who dared to stop her. Anyone who dared to stop him would be punished as a member of the party..."

Xin Yi's back tightened and his hair stood on end.

If Fu Jiuqu doesn't wake up, and they insist on giving her this label, they are afraid that the disaster will be worse...

"Asshole! Guang

How dare you break into Prince Ling’s residence?! Are you going to risk your life?”

"What about the prince's residence? We are under the emperor's orders. Rush in and get someone!"

"How dare you!"

The two sides clashed, roaring like thunder, occasionally mixed with the cries of Madam An and others.

"You can't go in!"

"You can't go in!"

"You said you were on an errand on a mission, where is the holy decree..."

"Yes! I brought the imperial decree, but who knows if you are counterfeiting it..."
