Qian touched his chin and sneered twice. Very good, very good, Feng Changqing has been with him for a long time, and his ability to do things has not improved, and he bullies the common people one by one is better than the other, let's calculate this account slowly.

Feng Changqing, who was hurrying to the city, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and looked back with some surprise.

"What's wrong?" An Wuji asked casually.

Feng Changqing smiled bitterly: "This time I offended the young girl, and I don't know how Rong Xiang plans to settle accounts with me." ”

"Isn't it just a misunderstanding? Rong Xiang has always been magnanimous......"

Feng Changqing said in his heart, of course magnanimity is magnanimity, but you didn't see it when he was protecting his shortcomings! remembered Chun Yuhua, who rebelled at the execution ground, and was so patted by him that he couldn't find a single unbroken bone all over his body, and the whole became a humanoid noodle. Feng Changqing shuddered and lamented: "The young girl is kind to him, and he has relied on him for his life, and she is the person he values very much, and he can't tolerate her being wronged." ”

Speaking of Qinggu, An Wuji's interest was high: "Who is that young girl, and how ...... between her and Rong Xiang?"

Feng Chang glanced at him innocently: "Let's do the things in front of us first, and then let's talk about it slowly." ”

An Wuji had to hold back his mood for the time being and galloped back to the city with him.

The two of them first went to the prison to find Wang Da, who was waiting for death, to confirm the accuracy of the portrait, and then urgently summoned the outstanding and capable people in the Ouchi guards and pedestrian divisions, and according to the picture, all the people who could notice the changes in Wang Da's home or shop in time were searched and screened.

I didn't have to wait long, and there was a good and a bad, two news.

The good news is. After a covert investigation, it was finally discovered. The person in the portrait should live in an alley only three streets away from Wang Da's house. The man's surname is Zhao Minghua, he is a scholar, he failed the exam in Beijing a few years ago, and he returned to his hometown without shame, so he has been living in the capital. I usually make a living by teaching and changing a few bundles of cultivation.

And the bad news is. Half an hour ago, the house where Zhao Hua lived suddenly caught fire, because it was daytime, there were many people coming and going in the market, everyone reacted quickly, and put out the fire in time, the fire did not spread, but most of the house was finally burned down, in the ruins. Bodies were found burned beyond recognition.

Facing the corpses on the fire ground, An Wuji sneered. Arrange a large number of men to go around and inquire about the people. Whether it is a neighbor who knows Zhao Hua well, or a passer-by who has only met him once, or a passer-by who occasionally says a word, he will not let go of any of them. From where did Zhao Hua come from, his usual temperament is a person. What his living habits were, even how long it took him to eat a bowl of rice, and how many times a day he went to the hut, he asked his subordinates to keep a detailed record. And he himself supported his tired body, in the fire, carefully rummaging through all the scorched remnants, tirelessly, not too dirty, and sorted and preserved one by one.

Finally, while carefully observing the evidence, he talked about the mountains of materials reported by his subordinates and went through them one by one. Comprehensive analysis.

Nothing really jumped out of a stone. No matter how good a spy is, he can hide his own hidden stakes. It is impossible to completely erase their past. Decades of growth to adapt to a landscape, a place customs, education, ideas, hometown dialect, dishes, characteristics, faintly, will always show some traces.

Maybe it's the color of the jade pendant on the belt, maybe it's the end note that is occasionally brought out when speaking standard official dialect, maybe it's the accidental humming of a hometown tune that I haven't noticed, or maybe it's a little preference for the taste when I usually eat and eat...... These differences are often so small that he and others are not usually noticeable, but once they are summarized in front of the master, analyzed and inferred, everything is hidden.

If there was no An Wuji, Feng Changqing could only be helpless and went to ask Yan Rin for his guilt. However, when An Wuji plunged into the analysis and research, he was not idle. In the name of catching thieves, he closed the four gates and blocked the streets. Sending people around to find Zhao Hua, who might be fleeing secretly.

However, after all, it is an important place in the capital, and such a confinement and blockade cannot last. If you can't find it, you have to give up. It can be seen from this timely fire that the other party's layout is so ingenious and cautious, I am afraid that he has secretly prepared a retreat in advance, as long as he is sure that the palace is successful, he will immediately and quietly escape. Their reaction was a beat slower, from the light to the dark, failure is normal, if it happens to succeed, it is great luck.

Feng Changqing was uneasy and came to the palace to ask for guilt.

"Chu State, do you think the person who bought Wang Da is from Chu State?" Yan Rin asked in a deep voice: "Since that person has already burned everything in one fire, how can you be sure that he is from the Chu State?" ”

Feng Changqing naturally refused to take the credit of An Wuji, and hurriedly admitted that he was incompetent, and said a few words for An Wuji.

Yan Rin just smiled: "Then Zhao Hua must be just a small pawn." Now that he has given up his identity and absconded, under your pursuit, there is very little chance that he can return to the capital to make waves. There is no need to do more recourse for such things that do not hinder the overall situation. Knowing that he is a Chu person......" He frowned slightly, and finally made a painful decision: "That's enough." ”

Feng Changqing bowed his head and was silent. Yan Rin was worrying about the purpose of the person behind the scenes, and he himself had already closed the door with An Wuji, and he had analyzed it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of a reason. No matter how you look at it, this matter obviously has no stake in that person.

Although Qin Xufei is in power now, he has absolutely no ability to mobilize Chu State spies, and the only possible mastermind behind the scenes is Fang Qingchen. However, after the chaos of the Chu State, it was initially decided, and there were many internal troubles, how could this person have the strength and leisure to travel thousands of miles to calculate a country that does not even border the Chu State?

When Fang Qingchen was in power, he also worked hard to establish an intelligence organization. It's just that he has been in power for far less than Rong Qian, so his intelligence network, until he was imprisoned, was not as large and tight as Yan Guo's pedestrian division. Moreover, in the past few years, everyone thought that he had died in the Golden Palace, and the Chu State was in turmoil, and no force could take over the intelligence network he left behind. In the past few years, this net has not only been paralyzed, but those hidden backbone figures may have long since gone their separate ways. Another future.

How long has it been since Fang Qingchen returned? Even if he noticed that Zhuo Lingyun and the others' intelligence was very bad, he reused it

Former secret spy old department. In such a short period of time, the results must be limited. When there is a shortage of land, he will also sacrifice the identity of a spy who has been hiding in Yan Guo for many years, and he has put so much effort into it, just to tell the queen of Yan Guo that her mother is dead??

What wise emperor would avenge a foreign mother-in-law he had never met. Come to Daxing? No matter what the slogan of the war is, whatever the crime, it is just a false letter to explain to the world. From the perspective of national interests, it was impossible for Yan to attack Qin. If Fang Qingchen didn't want to provoke the Yan State to send troops to the Qin State, then what was he paying such a big price for?

The monarch and the minister looked at each other, and the two had a headache together. The game that can't be guessed is the most vigilant and the most uncontrollable game. But what if you don't put it down?

If the phase is here. He must be able to see through this mystery, if he is still here. It must not be like me, foolish and short-sighted......

"Your Majesty, has the queen's phoenix body improved?" Feng Changqing's concerned inquiry pulled Yan Rin's wandering thoughts back. He looked as usual and said, "After the queen woke up, she took the medicine of the imperial doctor to calm the mind and breathe, and she has already recovered." It's just that she kept holding on to me and asking if the rumors were true. I ......" he sighed softly, "I can't bear to lie to her. ”

To the point where it has come to this. This matter, where can it be hidden? Lechang cried and fell into his arms, fainted several times, and resuscitated several times, and he couldn't say any words of comfort, just kept holding the child who had lost his mother, and let her tears soak his dragon robe again and again.

Feng Changqing looked at Yan Rin's slightly sad expression, knowing that he was feeling sorry for Lechang, and hesitated slightly. Still gritted his teeth and said something that was slight: "Your Majesty." The queen is very lonely in the palace, whether to invite some older women to accompany her. ”

This is a tactful statement, but the underlying meaning is cold. The so-called elderly women are not just picking a few orders outside, but those palace maids who have gone through the palace battles over the past dynasties and are carefully minded concubines or have a higher grade and see many old things in the palace. They can teach Lechang what is the way to survive in the palace.

Lechang is too small and too immature. She has always survived in the unnoticed corner of the Qin Palace, so she stayed away from those intrigues and kept the purity and innocence of a girl. However, in this deep palace, the most intolerable thing is purity and innocence.

A queen who has a little experience, understands the rules of the palace, and knows how to deal with big and small changes will never faint after hearing the whispers of a few rough palace maids, and a queen who understands the way to survive in the deep palace will never cry because of personal grief, completely ignoring the rules and etiquette.

Only think of the old Qin, and ignore the new Yan. I only know that I have a mother, but I don't know that I have a husband. If it weren't for her young age in the palace, if it weren't for Yan Rin and no other concubines, if it weren't for Yan Rin protecting her today, such a crime would have attracted overwhelming criticism. This time Yan Rin protected her, next time, what about the next time? How can such a woman be the mother of the world? How to assist Yan Rin in taking care of the harem?

If you don't teach her again, in the future, she will definitely suffer even greater losses and become the target of more people to take advantage of harm.

Yan Rin was silent. He understood that the teaching of Lechang was necessary. However, can he force the young Lechang to stand up on his own strength just like Rong Yuannian forced him, so that she no longer dares to laugh and cry arbitrarily? Do you want her to be cautious and cautious between husband and wife, observe her face, and no longer have true feelings under a lot of rules and etiquette, and only master the way of power and the art of controlling people.

Rongxiang, back then, what mood did you use to force me to grow up little by little. Looking at me who is more and more like an emperor, will you also miss the occasional child, many years ago, who could talk and laugh in your arms without scruples.

"Your Majesty, this is to protect the Empress!" Feng Changqing said in a deep voice.

"The Queen's safety, I'll protect it."

Feng Changqing expressed his opposition with silence. How he didn't know the knot in the lord's heart, but what Yan Rin needed was a queen who could fight side by side with him, not a girl who would be his burden. In order to be recognized by all countries, Yan Rin has already married the princess of Qin, so in order to quickly stabilize the domestic situation and stabilize the hearts of the powerful ministers and local feudal towns, he is bound to not refuse to accept the noble daughter of the power family as a concubine. Then...... The harem is bound to rise, could it be that while Yan Rin is working hard outside, she can always look at the palace with one eye, and always protect Lechang, an orphan girl who has wandered in a foreign country.

"You...... Give me a little time. ”

Yan Rin's voice showed a rare weakness. This power holds the world, pro-lord and governs, and always seems to be a strong and promising monarch in front of his courtiers, and in his bones, he is still the same as many years ago, and he is the child who will only scream and rely on Rong Xiang in big and small things.

It's not that he doesn't know that he is capricious, but how can he force Lechang to give up the last bit of innocence now.

Appearance! You told me that a monarch cannot be without power, but not only with power. You want me to love my country, my people, and all those around me. I...... I want to hear from you, I want to protect Lechang and protect my wife. But I ...... I'm incompetent. I don't know how I can stabilize my harem without relying on power. I'm not strong enough, and I'm afraid I won't be able to allow my wife to keep the last shred of her true nature.

Rong Xiang, for so many years, the clan disputes in government affairs, military affairs, and national affairs, you single-handedly smoothed it out, how did you do it? How can you exert power and scheming without losing your heart?

Looks, I'm actually really stupid as a student. I...... I haven't learned it yet, I haven't learned it yet. If you knew...... You...... Will you be so angry that you will run back and continue to teach me?

Appearance, I ...... I miss you so much......

When Feng Changqing entered the palace to meet Yan Rin, An Wuji was also taking his last inference to visit Rong Qian.
