Yan Feifei and Jiang Li came to the front hall, Xie Chengli was already waiting there, followed by Fengying and Meng Hanyuan.

"See Your Majesty."

"Taifu, get up quickly."

Because there were still people around him, Yan Feifei didn't dare to show too intimacy.

And Jiang Li and Meng Hanyuan have always been in love.

It didn't take long for Su Yun to deliver the meals that had already been prepared, and indeed as Yan Feifei said, these meals were all home-cooked side dishes, sweet and delicious, and everyone who was used to eating the food in the palace couldn't help but feel a little novel.

"This dish is really good, although it is an ordinary dish, it is different and ingenious."

Su Yun said with a smile on the side: "This dish was invented by the farmers themselves, and they did not use any expensive condiments, but they made a different flavor, and the slaves and maids also ate it once in a while, only to know that the original folk also have such a delicacy." ”

Everyone had almost eaten, and Yan Feifei let them serve some desserts and fruits after dinner.

"I don't need you to wait here, go down."

"Your Majesty."

When everyone was gone, everyone felt a little more comfortable.

Yan Feifei immediately ran to Xie Chengli's side and sat down, and asked earnestly, "Master, how is your injury?" Do you think it's okay? ”

Xie Chengli replied with a smile: "It's not a big deal, Fei'er doesn't have to worry too much, it's just that Lord Cao was arrested, and there is no news so far, which really worries me, the case in the mine is in the hands of Lord Cao, if he is not there, if he wants to continue to investigate the case, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

Although Yan Feifei didn't like Xie Chengli and put official affairs on her lips, she also understood that this matter was very urgent now, Cao Li was arrested, and this matter could not be hidden for long.

And Yan Feifei's attitude is also related to the direction of the whole thing.

"Did they arrest Cao Li just to stop us from investigating the case?" Yan Feifei asked.

Xie Chengli shook his head, "I don't know their purpose in this matter, but one thing that can be understood is that they really want to kill me." ”

Xie Chengli didn't want to enter the mine alone that day, but he heard someone say that they wanted to kill Cao Li, Xie Chengli was anxious for a while, so he fell into their trap, and after he entered the mine, the original gate was immediately closed, and the mine was empty.

In the days when he was trapped, he still faintly heard the movement of looking for him outside, but those people were not Fengying, nor Yan Feifei, but the people who harmed him.

It seems that their master commanded that people should be seen in life, and corpses should be seen in death.

At that moment, there was a sudden explosion in the air.

Xie Chengli immediately grabbed Yan Feifei and hid to the side.

After calming down, Yan Feifei found that there was a dart where she was sitting just now!

Kazekage immediately broke through the window and stopped the assassin in three or two clicks.

"Who are you, and why did you assassinate Your Majesty?"

The man in black didn't say a word, and immediately bit through the poison hidden in his mouth, and died of poison.

Xie Chengli couldn't help frowning, "This is a dead soldier sent here, and this hot spring palace is not safe, under the eyes of everyone, it can also let the assassin come here safe and sound, Fei'er, it is better for you to return to the palace as soon as possible." ”

"yes, I know." Yan Feifei also had palpitations, if it weren't for Xie Chengli's fast movements just now, he was afraid that he would have been splashed with blood on the spot.

Jiang Li on the side suddenly exclaimed, "Look at this dart, there seems to be a piece of letter paper on it." ”

Meng Hanyuan went to check and tested it with a silver needle, "There is no poison on the darts or on the letterhead. ”

Yan Feifei opened the letter with confidence.

Yan Feifei finished reading the contents of the letter paper in three or two eyes, "They asked me to exchange the Queen Mother for Cao Li." ”

"Exchange the Queen Mother for Cao Li? Could it be that the person behind this scene is really Sun Tong? Otherwise, why kidnap Cao Li in exchange for his daughter? Meng Hanyuan guessed.

But Xie Chengli shook his head, "If it is really Sun Tong, he should know more about my relationship with Fei'er, at that time he should have kidnapped me, not Cao Li, not Cao Li, not to mention that no matter how much Fei'er attaches importance to Cao Li, he is just a five-grade official, why does he think Fei'er will use the Queen Mother to exchange him for a mere Cao Li?" There must be something strange about this. ”

"Master is right, whether the person behind the scenes is Sun Tong or not can't make a conclusion for the time being, but now it is certain that Cao Li's life is not in danger at present, and it is definitely impossible to exchange the Queen Mother for Cao Li, he has no such value, but we can't sit still and sacrifice Cao Li in vain." Yan Feifei said.

After learning that Cao Li was arrested, Yan Feifei immediately sent people to secretly block Kyoto, and sent some people to search for Yaoshan, those people must not have left Kyoto, as long as Cao Li is still alive, they will definitely be able to find a trace of clues.

Xie Chengli made arrangements for this matter again, "Fei'er, I will continue to investigate this matter, investigate the Yaoshan case openly, and secretly, I will also search for the traces of Lord Cao, you will return to the palace tonight, and I will let Fengying escort you." ”

"No way!" Yan Feifei seriously refused, "Last time, you asked Fengying to do something else, but you yourself fell into someone else's ambush and almost lost your life, this time you have to take Fengying with you no matter what, the Hot Spring Palace is just a little away from the palace, and there are so many guards." ”

Jiang Li also persuaded on the side: "Master Taifu, what Fei'er said makes sense, since they can quietly enter the Hot Spring Palace, it means that they also know that you have been rescued, and they have murderous intentions for you, but you are more dangerous, it is better to keep Fengying by your side, so that Fei'er will not worry too much." ”

"Okay then." Xie Chengli was finally persuaded.

The two went their separate ways.

Xie Chengli and Meng Hanyuan returned to the Xie Mansion, while Yan Feifei and Jiang Li returned to the palace.

What everyone never expected was that on the way back, both of them encountered an assassin.

However, the Assassins were unskilled, and without causing any harm to the two men, they were all subdued and captured alive.

"Yuan Liu, press them into the prison, interrogate them tomorrow, remember to take care of them, there must be no accidents, you know?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yan Feifei returned to the dormitory, and He Meng came up attentively, "Your Majesty, you are finally back, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the slave and maid miss it very much." ”

He Meng covered his face with a veil again, before Yan Feifei asked the imperial doctor to look at the injuries on He Meng's face, and also prescribed medicine, the wounds had been healed, why did he wrap this veil again?
