"Your Highness, there's a letter from Zhu Xu."
Xu Mo held the Qilin pigeon in his arms and handed the letter to Feng Jinyu.
"The Xiao family is in Anyang County? We sent people to look for them but found nothing."
"Yes, Your Highness, this is indeed very strange. Perhaps the Emperor regretted the exile of the Xiao family. After all, the old Duke Xiao was a veteran of three dynasties and had made great contributions to the country. He changed his mind midway and sent him to Anyang County for recuperation."
Feng Jinyu's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Anyang County is under the jurisdiction of Huayang Commandery, and is only two days' journey from the Su family's Guihua Village. Father regrets not wanting the Xiao family to suffer. Why didn't he send the princess to Anyang County with him, but instead let her marry?"
"This..." Xu Mo couldn't figure it out. "Perhaps he regretted it after marrying the princess off, and it was too late to change his ways. Perhaps the princess had already signed the marriage certificate with Su Xingyi by then."
"No! Father has regrets, it's not too late anyway, unless..."
Su Xingyi's face appeared in his mind, and an absurd idea flashed through Feng Jinyu's mind.
"No!"
"Your Majesty, what can't you do?"
Feng Jinyu pressed his brows and said, "Nothing much, quickly make arrangements and return to Beijing tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Feng Jinyu lowered his eyes and looked at the contents of the letter again, hoping that it was not what he had imagined...
.......
"ah--"
The sound of painful wails continued to come from Tai Zhuo's room.
"Master Tai, there's still a cup of tea left. Just bear with it and it will pass."
The four guards held Tai Zhuo's hands and feet tightly to make it easier for the imperial physician to give him acupuncture to relieve the pain.
Ever since he spent 100,000 taels to watch Xiao Lingyu make perfume, Tai Zhuo has been unable to bear it and has gone insane and beaten people every seven days.
Crown Princess Muchen Hanyue summoned almost all the famous doctors in Nankun to see Tai Zhuo, but the cause of the disease has not been diagnosed yet.
After a cup of tea, the crazy Tai Zhuo returned to normal, washed and changed his clothes, and went to Feng Palace.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Phoenix Palace, Mu Chen Hanyue listened to the reports from the people below, and frowned slightly, "Then the master of the Su family travels north every year and only returns to the Su Mansion after the spring to prepare the fragrant dew?"
"Exactly. The Su family's servants said that their master's business is spread all over Beiyi, with most of the business in the north. He travels north every autumn, inspecting businesses along the way, and only returns to Wuling County after the spring."
Mu Chen Hanyue thought about it and realized that Xianglu had never appeared in Beiyi in her previous life, so she wouldn’t be wrong.
Tai Zhuo developed this inexplicable illness after leaving the Su Mansion.
"Go to Beiyi again and do everything you can to get the Su family back to Wuling County and invite them to Nankun!"
"Wait a minute, Your Highness."
Seeing Tai Zhuo's haggard face, Mu Chenhanyue asked, "Did that strange illness relapse today?"
Tai Zhuo nodded: "It doesn't hurt anymore. The Su family is not ordinary people. The Su Mansion in Wuling County is probably just a small house of the Su family's property. There will be no gain if I go there again."
"What do you mean?"
"I've been thinking about it these days. The spies we sent to Dongjun and Beiyi have all been killed. Among these killed spies, there must be someone who betrayed the master. The Su family may have discovered our spies. I think they already know our details. They don't dare to confront us head-on, so they set us up to evacuate Beiyi. If we go to Wuling County again, I'm afraid our people will not be able to come back... After all, this strange disease was contracted after we went to the Su Mansion. The Su family can make me suffer from the strange disease without anyone knowing, and they can also take our lives without anyone knowing. In addition, that young lady..."
Mu Chen Hanyue's expression immediately changed. "What? Are you scared?"
"No! I have the specific whereabouts of that young lady."
"Where?"
"Previous divination indicated that she was either in the south of Beiyi or in a village southwest of Dongjun. Now that Dongjun can be completely ruled out, she should be in a village in Xishui County, Huayang County, Beiyi."
As Tai Zhuo spoke, he spread out the chart he had drawn, showing the dates and times when the fragrance dew would be delivered to the fragrance shops in various counties in Beiyi, and displayed it in front of Mu Chen Hanyue.
"We were misled in the beginning because we didn't expect our spies to betray us. After all, they were all determined to be loyal. Now, after all, we've been re-starting everything and discovered we were set up. Look, the delivery date and time of the fragrant dew in Xishui County is roughly the same as that in Wuling County. Wuling County is located at the watershed between the north and south of Beiyi. Since the Su family is in Wuling County, they should have sent two groups of people to deliver the goods north and south. Why would the first stop in the south be Fenglin County, not Xishui County..."
Mu Chen Hanyue carefully examined the canvas in front of her and asked, "Are you sure it's in Xishui County?"
"...Your humble servant needs to use the Blood Pearl to tell another divination."
Mu Chen Hanyue led him to the Blood Pearl and said, "Let's get started."
Tai Zhuo stared at the blood pearl nourished by umbilical cord blood and took out half a bottle of Xihanxiang.
Take one finger of umbilical cord blood and one finger of Xi Hanxiang respectively, and start to tell fortunes on a white cloth with thirty-six copper coins.
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Chen Hanyue was shocked when she saw the word "flower" formed by blood in the hexagram.
"She's in the village associated with 'flowers' in Xishui County, Huayang County?"
Tai Zhuo said, "That's right! The villages related to flowers around Xishui County are easy to investigate. I will set off to Beiyi tomorrow to search for them."
"Master Tai, I will arrange for someone else to go. You stay in the mansion and recuperate."
"Your Highness, I must go there in person. No one in Nankun can cure this strange disease. I can only go to Beiyi to find the Su family!"
Mu Chen Hanyue looked at Tai Zhuo's face thoughtfully, "Then bring the imperial physician with you this time. The Su family has seen your true appearance, so let Yuan Hou help you disguise yourself and go with you..."
