Chapter 66 Qing Yi Missing

Qingfeng heard the master's order and hurriedly responded, but still followed closely behind.

Ye Qingyu was lost in thought at the moment and hadn't noticed Qingfeng's actions. After walking for a while, he suddenly realized that Qingfeng and Qingqing were still following him. "Qingfeng, why don't you just do what I told you to do? Why are you still following me?"

"Yes, Master," Qingfeng replied, but he was worried that his Master might impulsively break into the Dali Temple. Of course, even if that situation came to that, he would definitely go with his Master without hesitation!

"You go and do your own thing. I'm going to the Dali Temple to see Lu Yuan." Ye Qingyu said.

"Go see Lord Lu, the Minister of the Dali Temple?" Qingfeng's heart tightened. His master was actually going to the Dali Temple to ask for someone? He hurriedly advised, "Master, this matter needs to be carefully considered..."

"Well, I know what's going on. I'm just going to visit the prison." Ye Qingyu said shockingly. The young prince actually wanted to visit the prison?

"Master!" Qingfeng wanted to persuade him again, but then he thought, that person is Qingyi, how could the young prince just sit back and watch?

"Qingfeng, go and do what I asked you to do! Qingqing, go back to the palace and prepare a food box, and bring a pot of agarwood, and then come with me to visit the prison later." Ye Qingyu ordered.

Qingfeng was filled with worry when he heard this, but he had no choice but to obey the order and leave. Before leaving, he repeatedly gave Qingqing instructions, fearing that something might go wrong.

The atmosphere in Dali Temple was a little tense.

"Young Prince, I'm sorry for not welcoming you here!" When Dali Temple Minister Lu Yuan heard that the young prince of the Northwest, Ye Qingyu, had arrived, he hurried out to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Well, Lord Lu, I came here this time because I have something to bother you with. I hope Lord Lu will not mind." Ye Qingyu's expression was calm, but his words revealed a majesty that should not be underestimated.

"Young Prince, please feel free to speak. As long as I can do it, I will do my best." Lu Yuan responded quickly, but he was secretly guessing the young prince's intention in his heart.

"There is a person in my palace who is imprisoned in the cell here. I have come here today to visit him. I hope Lord Lu will give him some convenience." Ye Qingyu said.

"Ah, a prison visit?" Dali Temple Minister Lu Yuan was stunned upon hearing this, a bewildered look on his face. Why would the young prince of the Northwest suddenly come to the Dali Temple to visit a prisoner? What was going on?

"Why, Lord Lu, don't you know that a man named Qing Yi was transferred from the government office in the capital today?" Ye Qingyu said in an unhappy tone.

"This... Young Prince, please sit inside for a moment and let me investigate in detail." Lu Yuan was very puzzled, but he did not dare to show any negligence on his face, and hurriedly invited Ye Qingyu in.

"No need for that. Lord Lu, please take me to the prison to meet the person!" Ye Qingyu's voice was slightly angry. This Lu Yuan actually wanted to pretend to be confused?

"This...are there any prisoners transferred from the government office in the capital today?" Seeing this, Lu Yuan had no choice but to turn around and ask the legal advisor beside him, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, what was going on?

"Reporting to the Lord, there are no prisoners transferred from the government office in the capital today." The lawyer replied.

"Please tell me the truth, Lord Lu. Lord Zhang from the Beijing government said it himself that the case was transferred to the Dali Temple!" Ye Qingyu was angry. He actually lied to him in front of him.

"This... Young Prince, calm down." As the Minister of Justice, Lu Yuan had spent years in the court, and his shrewdness was naturally far superior to that of a timid person like Lord Zhang. Although he was surprised, he remained calm.

"Have you checked carefully? Are there really no prisoners transferred to the Dali Temple?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly and confirmed with his master again.

"My lord, young prince, that's indeed not the case. All prisoners transferred here need your personal approval. If this really happened, how could you be completely unaware of it?" The lawyer hurriedly explained, his heart full of doubts.

"Young Prince, it seems there's something fishy going on here. Perhaps what the authorities in the capital are saying is untrue." Lu Yuan looked at Ye Qingyu, only to see the Northwest Prince's face etched with rage. He couldn't help but wonder who could have so irritated the usually gentle and refined Northwest Prince. Ye Qingyu, after all, was deeply favored by the Emperor and rarely lost his composure like this.

"Okay! Since Lord Lu is definitely not here, I will not disturb him. If I find out who is deliberately concealing something, I will never let them off easily!" Ye Qingyu was threatening the first-rank officials of the court. Everyone was terrified when they heard this. Is the little prince of the Northwest crazy?

Lu Yuan was startled when he heard this, but his expression remained calm. He quietly gave his advisor a look that asked, "Are you sure you haven't imprisoned the person the young prince is looking for? You have to be sure!"

Seeing this, the legal advisor hurriedly shook his head, indicating that there was indeed no such thing. However, as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly said, "Your Excellency, Young Prince, although the capital government hasn't transferred any prisoners to the Dali Temple, we did receive a letter from them. The letter stated that a martial artist with great martial arts skills had killed someone in the street. They were worried that he might escape, so they planned to transfer him to the Dali Temple cells. However, when the letter arrived, Your Excellency was away, so the matter was delayed. I had intended to present it to you for review tomorrow."

"He's not here?" Ye Qingyu's concern for Qing Yi intensified upon hearing this. Dali Temple Minister Lu Yuan wouldn't dare lie to him, so could it be someone from the capital government who was causing trouble? But Lord Zhang was usually as timid as a mouse. Did he really have the nerve to deceive him?

"Young Prince, do you need me to issue a notice to find this person?" Lu Yuan asked tentatively.

"No need. I've disturbed Lord Lu today. Just give the agarwood to Lord Lu. It'll calm him down," Ye Qingyu ordered. This wasn't meant to calm the Dali Temple Minister, but rather to warn Lu Yuan through the agarwood. The agarwood was a gift from the Emperor, representing his majesty. If he were to deceive Chu Qingyu, he would be deceiving the Emperor, with unimaginable consequences.
