Dongfang Yinzhang heard the angry footsteps of Emperor Qianyuan approaching and quickly stood up. He seemed to stand up too much and bumped into the chessboard, disrupting the game.
Dongfang Yinzhang stepped aside and bowed respectfully, "I greet the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with good health and happiness."
Shangguan Yu's eyebrows widened slightly when he heard this. Dongfang Yinzhang's ability was really amazing. He could even imitate other people's voices. And this chess game must have been intentional.
"Okay, step back."
"yes."
Emperor Qianyuan took the opportunity to sit on the seat of Dongfang Yinzhang and said, "Prince Yu, the chess game is in chaos. It's a good time to start a new game."
Shangguan Yu smiled and said, "This is the only way."
Xu Mo originally thought that he would return to the city today, but who would have thought that Shangguan Yu would actually go back tomorrow.
At this moment, watching them sitting leisurely in front of the tomb of Queen Fu'an playing chess, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
My Lord, I wonder what the princess's situation is like now?
Has he been plotted against by someone behind the scenes?
Shangguan Yu caught a glimpse of Xu Mo pacing in the distance. He remembered Xu Mo's plan to follow the clues and find the real culprit. He said to Emperor Qianyuan, "Aren't you going back to attend to state affairs? Now that your son is seriously ill, who can review the memorials for you?"
"The memorial was delivered to the palace early this morning. I only came here to play chess with you after I reviewed it."
"Then why don't you send someone back to the palace to inform your mother?"
"Li Haiying, send someone back to the palace to inform the Queen Mother. We will return to the city tomorrow morning after offering incense to Queen Fu'an."
"Your Majesty." At this time, Xu Mo came over hurriedly, "Please let me go back to the palace to report the news. I can walk quickly."
Emperor Qianyuan saw that it was Xu Mo, "Why did you follow me to the imperial mausoleum?"
"The prince asked me to bring some people to protect you."
Emperor Qianyuan was very pleased to hear this. Yu'er was a good child.
"Hurry back to the city and stay by Yu'er's side." The person behind the scenes has not been found out yet. With so many guards missing from the eldest prince's mansion, wouldn't Yu'er and the baby in Xie Wanyi's belly be in danger?
Xu Mo was delighted, "Okay, Your Majesty, I will set off back to the capital right away."
"Take all your brothers back and protect Yu'er for me!"
"It's the Emperor."
Xu Mo did not take all of his men with him. He took three of them and rode his horse back to the capital at high speed.
It was already evening when Xu Mo rushed back to the capital. When he came out of the palace, it was already dark.
When Xu Mo returned to the eldest prince's mansion, he saw that one third of the guards had been reduced. His heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he trotted into Xiaoyun Pavilion.
In the room.
Li Yuanliang and Old Lu were removing the needle from Feng Jinyu. Feng Jinyu had his eyes tightly closed and looked as if he was unconscious.
Xu Mo was so scared that he quickly walked over and said, "Prince, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, wake up quickly."
Mr. Lu: ...
Li Yuanliang put his hand over his mouth and said, "Shut up, the prince is fine."
Xu Mo slapped Li Yuanliang's hand away, "Then why hasn't the prince woken up yet?"
"If you make any louder, the prince will be woken up by you."
"The prince is okay, he wasn't assassinated?"
Li Yuanliang glared: "You are the one who was assassinated."
When Li Yuanliang saw Mr. Lu leave the room, he also pulled Xu Mo out of the room.
Coming to the outer room, Li Yuanliang whispered, "Qinglian didn't make a move. He ran away last night and is now missing."
Xu Mo was dumbfounded, "ran away?"
Li Yuanliang nodded, "I heard Qinglian is very good at Qinggong, and even Mo Feng can't catch up with him."
"She shouldn't have taken action last night. Why did she run away?"
Li Yuanliang said, "Qinglian's Qinggong is so powerful that she must have noticed that we were watching her from the dark. She can't be so stupid as to persecute the prince under the surveillance of so many people. It would be strange if she didn't run away."
"Doesn't that mean we can't find the person behind the scenes?"
"Don't worry, she can't run away, we will catch her. We've lost so many guards just to go after her."
Qingxu and his daughter galloped all the way except for filling their stomachs and taking a break.
Huanghuang had to match their speed, following them and making marks along the way.
Huanghuang now doesn’t think that they are going to meet the contact person, they are clearly running away.
Huanghuang looked back in the direction of the capital, not knowing whether her master's father had sent anyone to chase her.
Huanghuang was worried that letting them drive far away was not a solution.
They ran too far and the master's men caught up with them. It would take a long time to bring them back to the capital.
We need to find a way to stop them from running too fast.
What should I do?
Huanghuang thought for a moment, flapped its wings, and set off a huge phoenix.
The carriage running on the ground quickly slowed down.
"Master, the wind is blowing hard."
Qingxu opened the curtains and a strong gust of cold wind rushed in.
Qingxu quickly closed the car window.
"Find a place sheltered from the wind and stop, and then set off again tomorrow morning."
The strong wind gradually subsided after the carriage stopped for half an incense stick of time.
It took the housekeeper and Qingxu less than half a cup of tea to build a fire and roast the pheasant.
Qinglian was awakened by the scent of pheasant. She got off the carriage, looked around at the dark surroundings, and sat in front of the fire. "Dad, where are we going to stay?"
Qingxu broke off a pheasant leg and gave it to Qinglian. "Let's go to Gucheng, a border town on the north side of Dongjun. We'll stay there for half a year and learn the Dongjun dialect from the locals. Then we'll settle down in Dongjun Lake City. From now on, we'll be Dongjun people."
Qinglian was puzzled, "We are from Beiyi, how can we settle down in Dongjun?"
"Dad's identity as a merchant is not fake. He has connections in Lake City, and this matter was settled a long time ago. Originally, I thought I would wait until the Queen's plan succeeded before taking you to Lake City, but now I have to take you there in advance. Once you get there, you will be the eldest daughter of the Qing Mansion. After settling in for a year or two, you will also be able to ask for an in-law."
