was about to blurt out a reprimand, but because Zhao Zongqi took the initiative to ask for guilt, the emperor swallowed his words back.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the emperor glanced at Zhao Zongqi with a gloomy face, and then said: "The incident happened in your mansion, you are indeed responsible for dereliction of duty, but you can't be blamed for everything." ”

"Emperor Xie is not to blame." Zhao Zongqi immediately kowtowed, and the expression on his face looked very sincere.

Looking at Zhao Zongqi, the emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "That's it, Xiao Yan, you and King Rui are responsible for the robbery of the concubine, and I order you to start investigating immediately, and be sure to find out the matter." ”

"Yes, I obey."

So, the kidnapping of Concubine Hui fell on Xiao Yan and Zhao Zongqi, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Zhao Zongqi, his eyes were a little complicated.

Just like what I discussed with Fengyu just now, Zhao Zongqi is very likely to have something to do with the kidnapping of Concubine Hui, but looking at Zhao Zongqi's appearance, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter.

Looking at Xiao Yan and Zhao Zongqi, Feng Yu stepped forward and said to the emperor: "Father, the son will help you go back to rest, and the affairs here will be handed over to Prince Rui and General Xiao." ”

The emperor didn't have much energy, plus a lot of messy things, and now he didn't want to stay any longer, so he nodded along with Fengyu's meaning.

"Okay, you can help your father back to the palace to rest."

So Feng Yu helped the emperor back to the dormitory, and the queen was also helped back by the personal palace maid, and the rest of the people were busy with their own.

"General Xiao, what do you think about the kidnapping of the noble concubine?" Zhao Zongqi looked at Xiao Yan and asked, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Xiao Yan shook his head expressionlessly, "Don't have any special opinions?" The fact that the concubine was robbed instead of killed means that the person who robbed her has half the chance that she is in the same group as the concubine. ”

"I think so too." Zhao Zongqi nodded undeniably and said, "But if the other party is an enemy, then what is their purpose in robbing the concubine?" ”

Zhao Zongqi's question reminded Xiao Yan that if it wasn't her own person who robbed Concubine Hui, then what was the purpose of the other party?

Do you want to use Hui Guifei as a hostage to threaten anyone, or do you want to get some news from Hui Guifei?

These Xiao Yan had to be prepared, for them, whether Concubine Hui was dead or alive had an impact on them.

Here, Feng Yu helped the emperor back to the dormitory, Li Gonggong brought tea immediately, and Feng Yu hurriedly brought the tea to the emperor.

"Father, take a sip of tea to suppress the shock."

The emperor took the tea and took a sip, then put it on the table, "Qiluo, on the way back, my father thought about it for a while, and thought it was better to go back to the palace as soon as possible." ”

"Why is that?" Feng Yu asked puzzled.

The emperor let out a long sigh and said, "Along the way, things happened one after another, first someone was on the ship, and then I was assassinated by the assassins. It was the direct murder of the second princess again, and what happened in the Rui Wangfu just now, I am really a little tired. ”

Looking at the somewhat tired emperor, Feng Yu knew very well in her heart that the emperor was worried about his own safety, after all, these piles seemed to be unrelated, but they were actually linked to the emperor.

But now that she has come, Feng Yu wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the vassal king who is trying to rebel, and no matter how bad it is, she must get rid of the vassal king's power and clear the way for the emperor.

And only in this way can the emperor and Feng Yi be safe, and the people of the northern capital can be healthy and happy.

"Father, although too many things have happened along the way, it hasn't been good yet. Besides, even if you go back now, you can't make sure that there will be any accidents on the way? ”

"This season, the scenery of Jiangnan is the most beautiful, why don't you stay for a few more days and enjoy the beauty of Jiangnan."

Seeing the hesitant expression on the emperor's face, Feng Yu said again: "If my father is worried that there will be assassins coming, my son will let Xiao Yan send some more guards over to protect my father later." ”

Under Feng Yu's painstaking persuasion, the emperor finally agreed to stay a few more days, but also said that if anything happened again, he would return to the palace immediately.

Fengyu stayed with the emperor until the emperor rested, and then left the dormitory.

Coming to the outside of the dormitory, Feng Yu saw Xiao Yan waiting at the door at a glance, and walked over with some confusion and asked, "Didn't you go to investigate the case?" How is it here? ”

Xiao Yan was originally leaning against the wall, but after seeing Feng Yu coming, he straightened up and walked towards her, "King Rui is interrogating the people in the mansion, I'll come and pick you up." ”

"Then let's talk as we go."

The two walked together on the way back to Rui Wangfu, Feng Yu said: "Zhao Zongqi interrogated the next person, you are not there to watch, what if he makes a mistake?" ”

Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu with a doting chuckle on her face, and said, "Your worries are superfluous. ”

"If this matter has something to do with him, then he will definitely not be able to ask anything from the mouth, if he has nothing to do with this matter, then no matter what clues there are, he will take the initiative to tell me."

"You have a point." Feng Yu nodded in agreement, and after a pause, she said, "Father Fang told me that he wanted to return to Beijing. ”

"But I think we've all come here, why not take this opportunity to eradicate some of Xiao Qishan's forces, so maybe we can delay time."

"So I tried my best to persuade my father, and he had promised to stay here for a few more days."

After listening to Feng Yu's words, Xiao Yan sighed with a heavy face, "What you think is not unreasonable. I'm afraid that Xiao Qishan is the same as we think, and we all want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something. ”

Xiao Yan's words were very tactful, but Feng Yu understood what it meant, if Xiao Qishan wanted to use this opportunity to do anything as they thought, then the most likely thing was to kill the emperor at this time.

But Feng Yu felt that even if they wanted to withdraw now, it was estimated that the road would be full of dangers, and since the chances were half, it was better to stay and fight.

"By the way, I have something I want to ask you." Feng Yu suddenly looked at Xiao Yan and said tentatively, "Didn't you go to my room yesterday to look for me?" Did you accidentally take something away that wasn't yours while you were leaving? ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Are you talking about that villain painting?" ”

"Did you really take it?" Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, and then stretched out her hand to him, "Give me back the painting, and don't ask if you take it as stealing, do you know?" ”

But Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu with a serious face and shook his head, and said bluntly: "I like that painting, so I don't return it." ”

Looking at Xiao Yan's serious and domineering appearance, Feng Yu couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and finally could only say helplessly: "Okay, if you want it, then keep it." ”

So the ink villain was taken by Xiao Yan as her own, and Qin'er was still sad alone, after all, she also liked the ink villain.

The two returned to King Rui's Mansion, Xiao Yan said that he would personally send Fengyu back to the room to rest, and Fengyu did not refuse.

Walking on the corridor, Feng Yu said to Xiao Yan: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, there must be something wrong with Li Jie, the prefect of Jiangzhou." ”

"At the banquet today, I deliberately took Ruyue to see him, and when he saw Ruyue, the look on his face was obviously wrong. Obviously, he knew Ruyue. ”

As she spoke, Feng Yu's brows furrowed, "I think it's time for us to go and meet this Li Xie for a while." ”

Xiao Yan also felt that things had reached this point, and there was not much time for them to wait, so they could only attack the enemy first.

"Okay, then let's leave tomorrow night, I'll go and get ready first, so I don't have any accidents."

"Okay."

In the early morning of the next day, when Fengyu was eating, Xiao Yan's subordinates suddenly came and brought Xiao Yan's letter.

"Princess, this is a letter from the general's subordinates to the princess."

Feng Yu took the letter, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did your general ask you to pass on anything?" ”

The soldier bowed his head respectfully and said, "Back to the princess, the general said that as long as the princess reads the letter, she will understand, and the rest is not explained to her subordinates." ”

"Okay, you can go back."

After the soldiers left, Feng Yu opened the letter, and at a glance, she realized that what was written in the letter was actually Xu Ruyue's life experience.

It turned out that Xu Ruyue's father's official residence was Jiupin, and he was the head catcher under Li Jie.

Xu Ruyue's father was Li Jie's subordinate, and Xu Ruyue handed over the list of Xiao Qishan's forces to herself, so could Xu Ruyue's father be killed by Li Jie?

If this is the case, then Xu Ruyue will also be in danger, not to mention, now Li Xie should have suspected that he knew that he was Xiao Qishan's person.

Thinking of this, Feng Yu immediately called Qin'er, "Qin'er, I want to go out of the mansion, you are guarding Ruyue in the mansion, it is best to be able to guard it every inch." ”

"Princess, is there any danger around Ruyue?"

Coupled with the last time, Qin'er quickly guessed Feng Yu's intention to do this, if Xu Ruyue was not in danger, Feng Yu would not need to be so nervous at all.

Patting Qin'er on the shoulder, Fengyu comforted, "Don't worry, I will send guards to protect you." ”

Qin'er nodded heavily and said, "Princess, you must be careful when you go out." ”

"Well, I will."

After doing this, Feng Yu changed into men's clothes, and then found Xiao Yan, and the two went out of Rui Wangfu together.

The two of them walked out openly, because they had no need to disguise at all, Zhao Zongqi's people, Xiao Qishan's eyes must have been staring at them all the time.

If it is disguised, it will be redundant and will arouse the suspicion of the people who are watching.

"Let's say it first, no matter what happens, your safety is the most important thing." Xiao Yan said uneasily.

Feng Yu glanced at him, nodded with a smile, and said, "I know, don't worry, I won't be strong." ”

After leaving the Rui Wang's Mansion, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan walked straight to the mansion of the Jiangzhou Prefect, and when they passed through the Yamen, the two saw someone beating a drum and shouting grievances.
