"Cold wind!"

At the order, Han Feng immediately led people to search, and within half an hour, they found the princess's trace - Lai Fu Inn.

"Your Highness, are you going out for a while?" Han Feng looked at the man's face, glanced at the heavy rain outside the window from the corner of his eye, and asked carefully in the dark rainy night.

Zong Zhengchen pursed his lips, a surge of excitement in his heart just rising up, then suddenly sank.

Since we are in the inn, it means everything is fine.

Since she is fine, why bother looking for her?

He said in a cold voice: "She ran away from home, and you want me to go find her? Are you encouraging her arrogance?"

"The person who is looking for her is Yue'er. What does it have to do with me? I am just helping out." After saying this coldly, he sat back.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness!" Yue'er thanked him anxiously and rushed out in the heavy rain.

Han Feng didn't dare to say much and stood aside with his head down.

Zong Zhengchen held the memorial, but he couldn't concentrate on reading it. He turned two pages and felt restless. The sound of the heavy rain made him even more annoyed.

As he read on, he lost interest and angrily threw the letter on the table.

Snap——

The sudden drop in temperature caused Han Feng's body to collapse, and even his breathing became more tense.

It's late at night.

The man stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back, not at all sleepy.

The night is peaceful and silent, with only the sound of the dripping rain making the night even more peaceful.

The night wind blew, the lanterns swayed, and the candlelight flickered faintly.

The night grew darker.

Han Feng looked at his master's stern back, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke carefully:

"Master, it's past midnight. You've been busy all day. Why don't you rest early?"

The voice rose, fell, and finally returned to silence without any response.

Another hour passed.

At three o'clock in the morning, the man was still standing like a coffin, not moving at all.

Han Feng pursed his lips and spoke again carefully: "Master, it is cold at night. You are standing in a windy place. Be careful not to catch a cold."

The man stared at the dim night outside the window, his dark eyes fixed on an unknown place. The night was reflected in his eyes, deeper and darker, making it impossible to tell his emotions at the moment, let alone figure out his joy and anger.

Han Feng dared not say anything and had to accompany him. He stood for a whole night until his legs were numb and he secretly complained in his heart:

Master, since you are worried about the princess, why don't you go find her?

I told you to go, but you didn't go. I didn't ask you to go, but you still missed it. Aren't you torturing yourself?

.

Let’s talk about the other side.

When the news from the army reached the Crown Prince's Mansion, Zong Zhengyu was shocked, "Vice General Hou was actually seriously injured?"

Deputy General Hou has been by King Chen's side and has followed him for eight years. He is King Chen's right-hand man.

Why would Prince Chen attack Deputy General Hou for no reason?

The servant bowed his head and said, "A few days ago, Deputy General Hou challenged Deputy General Jiang and injured him. King Chen was furious and abolished Deputy General Hou in public."

Deputy General Hou was seriously injured, with all his bones and muscles broken. He could only lie in bed for the rest of his life and could never get out of bed again, becoming a disabled man.

In the audience, the Right Prime Minister Gong Zhenhong suddenly understood something and looked up at Zong Zhengyu:

"Your Highness, you..."

Zong Zhengyu's eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of guilt in them.

A few days ago, Prince Chen instigated Princess Chen to let his War Wolf go.

He couldn't swallow this breath, so he ordered Deputy General Hou to teach King Chen a lesson, but he didn't expect King Chen to be so cruel...

"you!"

When Gong Zhenhong learned the reason, he was so angry that he almost couldn't keep a straight face.

"Your Highness, do you know that I spent a lot of effort and a huge price to place Vice General Hou in the Shadow Guard Army? He has been lurking beside Prince Chen for eight years and finally gained his trust. However, because of your momentary impulse, all the previous efforts were wasted..."

He was so angry that his face turned black.

I wanted to curse, but because of the difference in status between master and servant, and between monarch and subject, I didn't dare to curse.

Zong Zhengyu was surprised, "Master Gong, it took you eight years to plant this person?"

“…”

Such a light tone...

The Shadow Guard was an army personally trained by Prince Chen. Over the years, they had fought with Prince Chen in many battles, killed enemies on the battlefield, and made great contributions. They were even known as the 'Invincible Shadow Guard'.

As the crown prince, he destroyed such a good chess piece as Lieutenant General Hou because of his personal impulse!

Really...

Why!

That’s all!

If it weren't for his position as the crown prince, why would the Gong family assist him!
