Chapter 606: Palace Fights Are All Scheming

When the two men came out in their pajamas and just sat on the bed, Xiao Yun, who was already standing there, quickly pressed the acupoints of the two men, subdued them, and then began to hypnotize them with sound.

This is a type of hypnosis she developed later. She doesn't have to show up, after all, she usually appears invisible.

Following the guidance of her voice, the eyes of the two men gradually became dull, but the woman's eyelids were still trembling slightly, indicating that her consciousness had not yet been fully controlled.

Xiao Yun looked at the man with a dazed look in his eyes and frowned slightly. This woman was no ordinary person. She was much more powerful than a man. At least her willpower and spirit had to be much stronger than an ordinary person to be able to resist her hypnosis.

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed as he thought of something. Could it be that this person had also cultivated his soul or mental power?

She first increased the intensity of hypnosis on her alone, but still could not break through the opponent's last line of defense. Xiao Yun then tried to probe into the opponent's sea of consciousness. Sure enough, the opponent's sea of consciousness was much larger than that of ordinary people, almost equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, she did not find any signs of cultivation on the other person. It seemed that he was a gifted person. If he were in the world of cultivation, he would be a cultivation genius.

Xiao Yun knocked the man unconscious and put him into the space, preparing to ask the hypnotized man first.

Just as he was about to speak, his ears moved and he heard a slight strange noise coming from the yard.

She instantly extended her spiritual sense and saw a tightly wrapped man in black jump into the yard and tiptoe towards them.

Xiao Yun recognized Chen Jinshi right away. Could today be their reunion day? Those two must have strong tastes, squeezing in time to have sex. Could it be more exciting this way?

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and touched his chin, thinking.

As a result, the guy passed by the bedroom and the living room and went towards the study at the easternmost end. He pushed the door open and fumbled to light the oil lamp. When he saw that there was no letter left by him on the desk and it was very clean, his eyes were full of surprise.

Xiao Yun was a little confused. What was he surprised about? Could it be that he didn't know that the owner of the yard had returned?

Chen Jinshi blew out the oil lamp and quickly walked out of the study and headed towards the bedroom.

Xiao Yun felt that he might have guessed right, but looking at the other party's expression just now, it didn't seem like he knew that these two people would come back.

But he came here just after these two people came back today, so Xiao Yun was a little skeptical that it was a coincidence.

Xiao Yun thought about it and decided to release the woman he had just stored in the space. However, he did not wake her up. He let her lie on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and made her fall into a deep sleep. He was mainly worried that she would become suspicious of the previous situation.

Then she lifted the man's hypnosis and sat on a stool beside him, ready to wait in the room.

Chen Jinshi came over quickly, walked to the window on the left, and knocked twice with his hand: three long, two short, three short, and one long.

The man who had just woken up was in a daze for a moment. When he heard the sound of knocking on the window, he didn't have time to think about anything else. He just got up and opened the window.

Seeing Chen Jinshi, he moved aside to let him in. Suddenly, he thought of something and glanced at his wife lying on the bed. He stood up straight and whispered, "Wait for me in the study. I'll be there soon."

Chen Jinshi outside the window didn't say anything, just nodded and went back to the study.

The man just thought that his wife was tired from traveling and exercising, and he didn't suspect anything else. He put on his pajamas, put on a coat, and opened the door to go out.

Xiao Yun did not follow them, but watched them directly with his spiritual sense. After Chen Jinshi went in, he lit the oil lamp again. After the man came over, he and the other party sat on the two armchairs on both sides of the table.

Chen Jinshi was the first to speak: "Didn't you evacuate? Why are you back?"

The man said seriously, "We received orders from our master to rush back overnight. He said the situation had changed, but we don't know the details yet. We need to remain on standby here."

"What!? Why weren't we notified?"

An expression of surprise appeared on Chen Jinshi's face again.

The man said he didn't know either, after all they were just following orders.

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the previous letter from Chen Jinshi was not left for this couple. The couple said they were going home to worship their ancestors, but in fact they were leaving the capital.

But no one else came here during this period. Could this be the accident the man mentioned?

After that, the two of them didn't continue this topic and talked about other things. Chen Jinshi mostly talked about recent events in the palace and also mentioned Prime Minister Qiao's stroke.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo did not mention anything about his expedition, I guess almost the entire Qi State should have known about it. National affairs like this would be reported to officials in various states and counties through official reports.

After saying this, Chen Jinshi left. Xiao Yun didn't hear any key points, so he could only hypnotize the man again and ask about his specific identity and so-called master.

In the end, we still didn't get any specific information about the master. The man was called Xu Pingshun and the woman was called Chen Yiru. They had nothing to do with Chen Jinshi and were descendants of a branch of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

If the previous dynasty still existed, Chen Yiru might have been a princess or a county lady.

Don't think they were trying to win over Xu Pingshun to marry him. Xu Pingshun's ancestors were no unknown people. He was the great-great-grandson of the former general who protected the country. The Xu family was considered a diehard loyalist of the Chen Dynasty, so the two of them should be considered a marriage of convenience.

Before Xu Pingshun came here, he was responsible for preparing food and weapons for their hidden personnel, and he was also in charge of the grain shop over there.

After killing Emperor Dali, they were ready to rebel, but their master made some mistakes and they missed the great opportunity, allowing Emperor Yongkang to take advantage of the opportunity and ascend the throne smoothly.

Afterwards, some of their hidden lines were exposed. Afraid of being caught together, many of those lurking in the capital withdrew, including the couple.

Of course, Chen Jinshi and the others who were in the palace had no way to leave, unless they tried to escape at all costs. The people above would not agree, so they had to stay in the palace to play their role.

As for why Chen Jinshi and the others did not receive the news when Xu Pingshun and the other returned, it was of course because no one passed it on.

After Xiao Yun took over the power of the palace, he dealt with some of the thorns planted by people outside the palace, such as the three princes and some ministers.

She was too lazy to guard against so many people trying to harm her adopted son, so she handed it over to Jiang Lin. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lin was so capable. Except for Chen Jinshi and his cousin who was with Emperor Yongkang, who were specifically left behind by Xiao Yun, they all got rid of them.
