Qi Cheng'an may not have thought that Mu Xiwan would finally nod, although there are still many suspicions in his heart, but there is inevitably a trace of hope and yearning.

If this is her trap again, then he hopes that this trap will last longer and deceive him for a lifetime.

The people around Qi Cheng'an actually didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Prince, who was so high and noble, had to care about a woman who was someone else's wife and had children. Seeing that Mu Xiwan used Qi Cheng'an's feelings to do something to hurt him several times on weekdays, even if he didn't dare to speak, the personal guards beside him still had the courage to say it.

After listening to the doubts of the people around him, Qi Cheng'an also felt a little emotional, stood by the window and looked outside, and sighed for a long time: "Who knows, I always feel that fate makes people, maybe this is what the world often says about self-love." ”

"But Your Highness." The guard said, "My subordinates don't understand, we went to great lengths to get her and her daughter to Beiyan, didn't we threaten the crown prince of Darong?" But now you'......"

Now that Qi Cheng'an is like this, it is obvious that he does not plan to use their mother and daughter to threaten Darong, so their initial plan has changed.

"Okay, don't talk about it, this palace has its own opinions on this matter." When it comes to Darong Qi Cheng'an, he will think of Feng Chengyi, and then think of Mu Xiwan's betrayal a few days ago, and he will be upset when he thinks of these things.

"You sent someone down to vigorously search Feng Chengyi, he was injured, and now the search in the city is so strict, he must not have left the city yet, he must have been hiding somewhere, he must be arrested alive."

The guard nodded, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

"And." Qi Cheng'an instructed, "Make an excuse for finding someone, just say that there is an assassin in the East Palace, don't reveal Feng Chengyi's true identity." ”

"Why is that?" The guards were puzzled.

"Mu Xiwan and her daughter's origin has already been suspicious of many people, if Feng Chengyi's identity is known by the palace at this moment, they will definitely guess the reason, and it will not end well. Besides, our Beiyan is not without big spies, and they will help once they learn the news, which is even more unfavorable to us. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard nodded, finally understanding why.

"And." Qi Cheng'an instructed again, "She brought it up and wanted to see Ling'er, you should send the child to her." ”

"Yes." The guard nodded, and stepped back.

"Feng Chengyi." Qi Cheng'an looked out the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Since you dare to come, then don't go back." ”

Only when Feng Chengyi dies and the thoughts in Mu Xiwan's heart are broken, can she stay with her willingly.

Qi Chengan really kept his promise, and it didn't take long for someone to send the child over.

When she entered the room, Ling'er was still holding a big chicken leg in her hand, and when she saw Mu Xiwan, she happily shouted to her mother and pounced.

Mu Xiwan caught her, and then looked up and down, and found that Ling'er was not hurt at all, and even the clothes on her body were newly made.

Mu Xiwan's heart was a little complicated, looking at her daughter, thinking of Qi Cheng'an's face, she sighed. Although he does a lot of evil on weekdays, he doesn't seem to be mean to Ling'er because she is Feng Chengyi's child.

Thinking of Feng Chengyi, Mu Xiwan was worried again, hugged the child tightly and said, "I don't know what happened to your father." ”

Although the encounter with the assassins in the East Palace was secret, the emperor still knew the news. Although he didn't ask in the court on the second day, when Qi Cheng'an wanted to leave the palace, the chief manager of the emperor's side came to invite Qi Cheng'an and let him go.

At this time, Qi Cheng'an was with the courtiers, he nodded, and walked towards the imperial study.

The Shangguan general next to him looked at Qi Cheng'an's departing figure a little thoughtfully, and the civil official next to him called a few times without answering. Then he came back to his senses and suddenly smiled: "The old man suddenly remembered that there is still something to report to His Majesty in the army, Lord Qi, you should go first, the old man has to go to the imperial study." ”

After speaking, he didn't have to look back and chased in the direction of the prince, leaving Lord Qi behind him with a puzzled face.

"Haven't all the affairs of the military department been mentioned in the court? Lord Shangguan, this is something important to remember. After speaking, Lord Qi shook his head helplessly and went out of the palace by himself.

Entering the imperial study, the emperor was changing the criticism, and as soon as Qi Cheng'an stood up after the salute, the emperor opened his mouth: "Just now, there were many people in the court to ask about private matters, I heard that there were assassins in your mansion the day before yesterday?" ”

"Yes, Father." Qi Cheng'an didn't think about hiding it, the matter of searching people was on the streets, and it was not surprising that the emperor knew about it.

"Did it hurt you?" The emperor glanced at Qi Cheng'an, as if to see if he was injured.

"Nope." Qi Cheng'an shook his head and said with a serious face, "The assassin was discovered as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, and he didn't have time to assassinate him. ”

The emperor looked up at him, his eyes were a little serious: "Have you found out who it is?" Where did the Assassins come from, and who assigned them? ”

"Not yet." Qi Cheng'an shook his head and lied, "But the number of ways to look at martial arts should be a person with great tolerance." ”

"Darong?" The emperor squinted, "Why did Darong's people suddenly go to the East Palace to assassinate you?" Can that person be strong in martial arts? ”

"When I went to Darong to envoy before, the ministers behaved more arrogantly, and there were many people among the courtiers in Darong who were not used to seeing the ministers. Maybe they may have offended one or two people unintentionally, so it is estimated that they can't swallow that breath and assign Beiyan's spies to kill Erchen, and there is another possibility that they came to the East Palace to find out the truth. Qi Cheng'an said half-truthfully.

"These people are really bold." The emperor snorted coldly, "Where is my Northern Yan Emperor, I actually dare to come here to spread wild." ”

However, Qi Cheng'an has always been high-profile and has a somewhat grotesque temper, which these emperors are all aware of. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself like this, there must be many people who can't get used to him.

In response to Qi Cheng'an's temporary excuse, the emperor did not suspect anything.

"I heard that your people have been searching the city in the last few days, and have they found anything?"

"Not yet." Qi Cheng'an shook his head, "But what is certain is that the assassin was injured that night, and then Erchen ordered the city gate to be guarded, so he should not have escaped and is still in Kyoto City." ”

Besides, Mu Xiwan and the child were not rescued, with Qi Cheng'an's understanding of Feng Chengyi, he should not give up the rescue plan so quickly, so he will definitely not be in a hurry to get out of the city.

"After finding out, ask the secret agents hidden in other places in Beiyan, it's best to catch them all!" The emperor said coldly.

"Yes." Qi Cheng'an saluted, "The son must live up to his father's expectations, and he will definitely arrest the thief." ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded, "I believe in your ability, then I won't interfere in this matter, you can handle it yourself and handle the links well." ”
