The princess disappeared in the Hou Mansion, not only did these palace maids and grandmothers who followed her be sentenced to death, but even they Yang Houfu could not bear the thunderous wrath of the emperor. If someone takes the opportunity to fall into the well and add fuel to the fire, the consequences will be even more unimaginable, maybe Cheng Shufei and the Cheng family will become enemies with them because of grievances.

And Yang Houfu, the Feng family, the Five Princes, and the Mei family have long been regarded as one party, and this matter is widely implicated, and the scheming is unfathomable.

It is conceivable that the anxiety in Yang Han's heart now is like tormenting on a hot pan, but he has to calm himself down to deal with the next things and track down Zijin's whereabouts.

"From the Xitang outside, who accompanied the princess to the new house when I returned to the upper west garden and entered the new house? Did anything ever happen in it? And what happened to the princess after she entered the new house until three o'clock in the morning? Bai Zhengyan has been checking everyone again, checking for mistakes and omissions.

"There is no one but us." Mama Cheng replied.

Mama Zhou said again: "There is nothing special along the way, until the princess invites the old slave to go out to rest." ”

Bai Zhengyan walked a few steps forward, until she walked to the door of the new house, looking at the heavy red gauze curtain in the room that fluttered with the breeze and vaguely covered the wedding couch, and remembered the water on the side of her feet and the Baizi on the couch, and suddenly her heart pounded. Quickly stepped into the new room, opened the curtain and walked to the side of the bed to look at the ground, no, and quickly reached the other side of the bed, her heart contracted suddenly, and there was indeed a pile of undried water marks on the ground. She stepped forward a few times with her foot, and the obvious hollow response, crouched down to see that there seemed to be someone sprinkled dust all over the stone crevices to hide from the world.

Bai Zhengyan took out the dagger in his sleeve and pried the hollow reverberating stone brick, but let go of it, and lifted it up to see that there was a small hole underneath, and there was a wooden frame underneath to support the stone bricks above without collapsing. She immediately got up and ran out of the new house, grabbing Yang Han's arm, Yang Han couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that her face had changed. Bai Zhengyan had already taken a step ahead of him and asked, "Is there a pond or a big lake in your back garden?" ”

Yang Han nodded suspiciously, "Naturally!" ”

She spoke so quickly that she whispered to him about her findings and speculations, Yang Han was taken aback, and his face quickly calmed down, and at this time, Bai Zhengyan did not forget to turn around and solemnly instructed Mama Zhou: "Take care of these slaves, none of them are allowed to get lost!" ”

That momentum and posture made Mama Zhou unable to come back to her senses for a while, and naturally responded: "Yes......" The following words couldn't keep up, she was obviously not her master, but that solemn and decisive bearing was more like the concubine she had been waiting for for many years.

After saying this, she decisively rushed out to the outer courtyard, Yang Han immediately came back to her senses, secretly thinking about how to save people.

Bai Zhengyan tidied up his clothes outside the lobby before hurrying in. Looking around, I saw that Qiu Ming, Shui Wuyi, Mu Fan and others were still on the table, and Qiu Mingrui, Mei Qingxuan and Cheng Li were still helping out in the round, her eyes turned around these people, and she had already calculated on the way here, Qiu Mingjiao and Shui had no intention of knowing whether they were friends or enemies; Qiu Mingrui is the prince, if he uses his forces, I am afraid that he will alarm the royal family as quickly as possible, which will not be beneficial to everyone; Cheng Li is not an alliance of Houfu now, and he can't be trusted. She returned to the table and brought a glass of wine, ignored the eyes of the three people present, walked straight towards Qiu Mingrui, and seemed to invite him back with a pleasant greeting, and talked in a few places.

Sure enough, Feng Jingning led the Feng family's palace guards to follow the trajectory of the emperor's carriage to find the enemy's traces outside, and let Mei Qingxuan instruct the palace guards to help Yang Han in case the palace changed. She explained her discoveries and thoughts in Xishang Yuan to him very quickly, and Qiu Mingrui suddenly stared at her with a very surprised gaze, and there seemed to be thoughts and judgments flashing in her indifferent eyes.

Bai Zhengyan whispered quietly: "If I have ulterior motives, I don't have to explain anything to the five princes at this moment." ”

Qiu Mingrui frowned and whispered, "I just hope that Jing Ning didn't believe you wrong!" ”

She smiled suddenly, ignored him, and turned to walk towards Mu Fan. sat down on the empty chair beside him, leaned closer and whispered: "Second Master Mu, you once said that if the little girl is desperate in the future, she can go to the Mu Mansion to eat and drink, and give gold and silver as road money, I don't know if you can do this?" ”

Mu Fan turned his eyes to look at her, and couldn't tell why the dark look in her gentle and delicate eyes was, but he bowed his head and said, "Of course I count." ”

"Then I don't want your hospitality and silver taels at this moment, but I want something else, I wonder if I can take a step to discuss?" She smiled faintly, her original anxiety had been completely contained in her heart, and her face was not revealed. Who knows the anxiety in her heart at the moment, because she is afraid that she will never find Feng Jingning in the sky and the earth.

If Princess Zijin is still held hostage in the tunnel, then the carriage in which the emperor left is a cover. This guise will definitely deceive people, if it is not Qiu Mingrui, Mei Qingxuan or Feng Jingning, but Qiu Mingrui is the prince, Mei Qingxuan is the general of the dragon capital, if they lead the troops to track, it is too eye-catching and leads people to speculate. Only Feng Jingning, who is temporarily unofficial, leads the secret guards to secretly investigate, which is the most appropriate arrangement.

Since the other party has calculated to this point, there must be a follow-up.

If you are bold and reckless, this will be a killer move, if you can take advantage of the unforeseen things that Feng Jingning has encountered to cause trouble, Prime Minister Feng will be hit hard. If it adds fuel to the fire and leads to disaster, the family of Longdu is bound to be really chaotic.

But she didn't want Feng Jingning to encounter an accident, and when she found something strange next to the bed in the new house, her heart suddenly jumped up and down, because of such bad thoughts.

Bai Zhengyan confessed her thoughts to Mu Fan, and she learned from Qiu Mingrui that the emperor left the palace because of the sudden assassination of the crown prince, and the calculation in her heart was even more determined. At this moment, the Mu family is in alliance with the prince and the Snow Queen, if this matter is the calculation of the two of them, this strategy is too obvious, too suspicious, the Mu family is already the first family in the Mo country, and now the momentum is in full swing, and the prince does not know when he will ascend the throne, if he offends the Feng family and Yang Houfu at this time, as well as the five princes, the Mei family, and the Cheng family, it will be harmful to them and no benefit.

And vice versa, if this is not the strategy of the two of them, if the other party has the intention to blame others, then their Mu family, the prince and the Xue family must bear the brunt.

She probed a little and said that Mu Fan could naturally think of this.

Now, she and Mu Fan have changed their outfits and hidden their whereabouts, secretly leading the secret guards of the Mu family and the second son of the Mei family, Mei Qingfeng, and some of the secret guards who came to Qiu Mingrui's instructions are still patrolling the city, and they have already seen that the sparsely populated streets have increased the guards patrolling and searching, saying that they are chasing Jiang Yang thieves, but in fact, they should be chasing the assassins who assassinated the prince.

In this way, they must be even more cautious, otherwise if they are not careful, they may be arrested by the guards as suspicious people.

"The patrol battalion was dispatched!" Standing in the dark on the corner of the street, Mu Fan whispered beside her, and his face became a little delicate.

The eyebrows are beautiful and silent, but there is a hidden heroic spirit between the eyebrows, looking at the patrol camp on the street, his face is faint, but there is a sharp spirit in his eyes.

"Who's in charge of the patrol battalion?" She asked unexpectedly.

Mu Fan glanced at her and replied in a low voice: "Shui family, Lin family." ”

"It's really confusing." Bai Zhengyan frowned, and the scheming in his heart flashed round and round. Mu Fan saw her thoughtful, and said lightly beside her: "The city gate is closed at about the hour, and Feng Jingning is out of the Houfu at about the hour, if they stay in the inner city, it is impossible for our secret guards not to find the secret mark left by the Feng family, unless they are introduced to a place that ordinary people can't find; If they go out of the city, it is not impossible for them to go out when the city gate is closed with the power of the Feng family, but at this moment, the assassin is being tracked down in the city, and there must be an explanation in the palace, and it is impossible for Feng Jingning to go out of the city with too many men and horses, causing the royal speculation. ”

What he was thinking about was not what Bai Zhengyan was thinking about at the moment. The other party is so cunning that he can calculate so comprehensively?

They rushed to the city gate and asked from Mei Qingfeng, but the soldiers guarding the city gate said that they had never seen Feng Gongzi go out of the city. But the accompanying Feng family's secret guards quietly told Bai Zhengyan that they had found the secret mark left by the Feng family at the corner of the city wall.

This kind of secret mark can only be understood by their own secret guards, and most of them cannot be forged, but it is not excluded that there are superb spies who can crack and imitate them.

Bai Zhengyan has his own spies, among which Qing Yan is a master of cracking and imitating the other party's secret mark, and she naturally knows it clearly. But because she was a passer-by in the desert country, what she used to observe and study in the camp in the past was the imprint of the armies of various countries, not the secret mark of this kind of family. Because she was unfamiliar and couldn't judge better, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart why she didn't let Qing Yan get the secret marks of the various families in the Moguo country in the past, and explored it together.

This matter can't help but add another layer of mystery.

She was hesitant to go out of the city to track it down, or stay in the city to continue the search? Time seemed to be passing in front of her eyes, but she couldn't grasp the slightest clue of the other party in her hands. Although she was sure that Mu Fan was absolutely credible for the time being, she was also sure that he definitely didn't care about Feng Jingning so much. Even though the Feng family has helped Mu Chong once, now the Mu family has not helped the Feng family, but the life and death of this is another matter, and the Mu family mainly wants to clear their own suspicions this time.

If Feng Jingning survives, the other party will naturally fail to make a plan, and of course their Mu family is also high-spirited; If Feng Jingning is killed, no matter whether the other party's plan is successful or not, their Mu family can no longer be counted as suspects, at least on the surface. How could she not know about the struggle between these families, not to mention that Mu Fan has always stood beside her with an indifferent appearance, and he has the potential to stay inseparable.
