"I will never feel at ease until I catch that traitor."
Su Chenyu pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we look for Concubine Li again tonight? She is the person who has been with Feng Xuanming the longest. She should be able to discover some things that we cannot."
After the two of them agreed to re-enter the palace in the middle of the night, Baili Yanqing felt a little more at ease. He noticed that the window was not closed, so he walked to the window and was about to close it when he saw someone from the Black Mountain Underground Palace passing by.
“At this time, people from the Black Mountain Underground Palace are coming to Beijing. They must have heard about what happened at the plum blossom viewing banquet and can’t wait.” Su Chenyu also walked to the window and watched those people walking farther and farther away, with a dark look in her eyes.
As long as the Black Mountain Underground Palace exists, there will never be peace. They have not only extended their hands to the Xixia court, but even to Dayu. How can we tolerate this?
"Now that the eldest prince is caught up in the scandal of killing his sister and his wife, if the Black Mountain Underground Palace continues to support him openly, his reputation will certainly be damaged. Even if the eldest prince wants to support Feng Shuyu to ascend the throne in the future, he cannot be the regent. After all, how can a man who killed his sister and his wife take on such a responsibility?"
Listening to Baili Yanqing's words, Su Chenyu smiled faintly: "I am more curious about what Feng Xuanming will do now that Feng Huailue and Feng Zhaolin have both gotten into such scandals? Isn't it time to bring out the heir he has always admired?"
From the first time she saw Feng Zhaolin and Feng Xuanming getting along, Su Chenyu knew that Feng Xuanming's favoritism towards Feng Zhaolin was just to support him and compete with Feng Huailue. After the two princes who were most likely to become the crown prince were defeated, Feng Xuanming would bring the prince he really liked to the public.
However, in Feng Xuanming's opinion, this process will take a long time, long enough for Feng Shuyu to grow up.
But the arrival of Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing accelerated the process. Su Chenyu wanted to see what Feng Xuanming would do next?
"By the way, the people from the Black Mountain Underground Palace are coming to Beijing. During this time, Ciyu must hide well and must not be discovered." Su Chenyu said and walked out, "I'd better remind Ciyu again."
However, when Su Chenyu walked to Civic's door, she found that she was not in the room at all.
"Where are the people from Civic?" Su Chenyu looked at Yanyu.
Yanyu also just realized that Ciyu was missing: "Ciyu had lunch in the afternoon and said she was not feeling well, so I asked her to go back to her room to rest. Could Ciyu have been taken away by someone?"
Su Chenyu glanced around the room: "The room is clean and tidy, and the quilt on the bed is folded. She should not have been taken away by someone. She went out on her own."
Yanyu was just about to ask if she should go out to look for Ciyu first, when she heard Su Chenyu ask, "Has the young man who used to guard Beirong been here all day today?"
Su Chenyu was talking about Xuan Ling, who usually stood guard at the door and was taciturn. Yanyu still remembered him because she often saw him when she passed by. "When I passed by there this morning, he was still there, but he seemed to be gone in the afternoon."
"Don't look for Civic anymore. She will probably come back when she's had enough fun."
"Master, is Civic really safe?"
Su Chenyu replied, "It is true that I did not think it through before. Ciyu is still a child. No matter how sensible she is, she cannot stand being confined to the inn every day. You should pretend that you don't know what happened today, so that she won't feel burdened. On weekdays, you should also take her out more often. If you meet someone from the Black Mountain Underground Palace, just avoid them."
