Three days later.
Yuya, Yuwan and Jiangling left the imperial capital of Lizhou, and Ji Xingzhi still sent General Xu to see them off.
According to Wu Fang's report, Yuya, Yuwan and Jiangling left separately. Yuya returned to Yuzhou, while Yuwan and Jiangling went in the opposite direction of Yuya.
Ji Xingzhi didn't care where Yu Wan and Jiang Ling were going, as long as they didn't cause trouble within the borders of Lizhou.
There was another thing that concerned Ji Xingzhi a little.
Many people in the palace have been saying that Shui Lianche intends to pursue Ji Ruhua and they often "encounter" her by chance.
After hearing Wu Fang's report, Ji Xingzhi initially thought that Shui Lianche was short-sighted and cowardly. But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Shui Lianche's courage was not just not cowardly, but extremely great!
Ji Ruhua was her nominal queen. She was not yet of age, and of course that was partly because of her prevarication, so Ji Ruhua stayed in the palace and was ready to get married as soon as she came of age.
Ji Ruhua is the future queen of Lizhou. How dare she openly pursue the future queen of Lizhou? She is more than just bold!
Looking through historical records, it was found that since the rise of the Five States in the Dixi Continent, most of the wars that broke out were caused by the Water State. Ji Xingzhi had never had a good impression of the people of the Water State. Shui Lianche always gave Ji Xingzhi a very dangerous feeling. He looked gentle and refined when he smiled, but in Ji Xingzhi's opinion, that smile was too fake!
Just imagine, Shui Lianche quickly ascended the throne as soon as the previous emperor of Shuizhou passed away. Shuizhou is not Lizhou, there are many royal heirs there. The previous emperor of Shuizhou died suddenly and did not have time to leave a will. How could no one be tempted by such a good opportunity?
But Shui Lianche didn't even give anyone a chance to attack, clinging to the throne with lightning speed. How could such a man be as harmless as he appeared? How could he have maintained his throne without some tricks?
To be honest, Ji Xingzhi even began to doubt the authenticity of the fact that the former emperor of Shuizhou was angered to death.
Ji Xingzhi sat at the table, chin propped up by his hand, thinking, "Send someone to secretly protect Ji Ruhua, and keep an eye on Shui Lianche. I always feel that he came to Lizhou with bad intentions."
"Yes." Wu Fang replied.
"Withdraw the people guarding Jingxin Palace. Let the eunuch do whatever he wants. There is no need to send anyone to follow him." Anyway, after monitoring the eunuch for such a long time, he didn't show any clues. Ji Xingzhi simply let him go to avoid wasting manpower.
Before Wu Fang could reply, Ji Xingzhi spoke again, "Send a group of people from the Royal Guards to search for my father, the Emperor, and my mother. Send two Secret Guards to follow them secretly. Also, send a few people from your own staff to search for them. Make sure you find out where they are."
"Is the Emperor looking for the Emperor Retired and the Empress Dowager because of that old matter at the village?" Wu Fang couldn't help but be slightly stunned. In more than ten years, the Emperor had never wanted to look for the Emperor Retired and the Empress Dowager. Now he suddenly looked for them, probably because of the Emperor Retired's unexpected killing order.
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Where is Xie Jingnian?"
I haven't seen Xie Jingnian in the past few days.
Wu Fang thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't seen him these past few days. I think he's staying in his room."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi said thoughtfully, "Xuan Xie came to see me all those years ago."
She cannot escape blame for the death of midwife Xie. Xie Jingnian suffered because of her. She should give an explanation to Xie Jingnian.
After hearing this, Wu Fang bowed and said "yes" before leaving.
