The funeral was held with great ceremony, but there was no body. So they planned to build a cenotaph using the clothes that Ji Chengyuan had worn before!
For the sake of fame, Teng Yetao also went to Prince Zhan's palace to pay homage.
When the officials of the court, both great and small, saw that the emperor had gone, they also went to Prince Zhan's palace.
The Prince Zhan's Mansion was extremely busy during this period. Song Yaoyao and the others had no way of getting close to Lin Xixi and could only watch from a teahouse not far away.
Just at this moment, Guagua's voice rang out:
[Host, I have unlocked the reason why Ji Chengyuan's wife and children were detained in the palace before? And why they were suddenly released from the palace a few days ago? Do you want to hear it? ]
Song Yaoyao: [This is also something I can’t figure out. Please tell me the reason. ]
Guagua: [News came from the border about Ji Chengyuan's death. Teng Yetao didn't believe it at all. He suspected that Ji Chengyuan had faked his death.
Teng Yetao felt that if it was a fake death, as long as Ji Chengyuan's wife and children were in his hands, he would not be afraid that Ji Chengyuan would not show up. 】
Song Yaoyao: [I see! This Teng Yetao is quite suspicious!]
Then why did you suddenly let him out of the palace? 】
Gua Gua: [A few days ago, Teng Yetao received news that another city had been lost on the border, and wanted to send generals from the court to lead troops to support, but none of the generals were willing to lead the troops.
The emperor could only let the secret guards investigate privately to find out the reasons why these generals were unwilling to go to the battlefield.
Teng Yetao then learned that those generals were afraid that if they led the troops to war, the emperor would still be suspicious of them and might even bring their family members into the palace and detain them.
They work so hard but get nothing in return, and also put their families in danger, so they are unwilling to do this thankless job.
Isn’t War King Ji Chengyuan a living example of this?
Prince Zhan has been dead for such a long time, and not only has the Emperor not said anything, but even now Prince Zhan's wife and children are still being detained in the palace!
How could this not make these generals feel disheartened?
Therefore, no one was willing to lead the troops this time.
After Teng Yetao learned the reason, he had to release Ji Chengyuan's wife and children from the palace, but he was still worried and sent people to monitor them.
Song Yaoyao: [I see!]
The funeral will take seven days to end, and there are too many officials coming and going. After these seven days, Prince Zhan's palace will probably be quiet.
At that time, we will find an opportunity to contact Lin Xixi herself.
Guagua, I seemed to see Teng Lingfeng also went to the Zhanwang Mansion just now. 】
Gua Gua: [Host, you are not mistaken. The man just now was indeed the Tenth Prince Teng Lingfeng of Tianxuan Kingdom.
Before, he was captured by our Tianfeng country and held hostage, and was exchanged for a lot of silver. It was him.
Because of that incident, this person completely hated our Tianfeng Kingdom.
Host, he has seen all of you, you should be more careful. 】
Chen Yixiao and the others also felt that Teng Lingfeng was a mad dog. If he got any wind of the matter, he would definitely hold on to them. They had to be extra careful.
Song Yaoyao: [It seems that each of us needs to put on some makeup before going out, so as not to be recognized by him.
Before, I was thinking about how to rescue Ji Chengyuan’s wife and children every day, and I forgot about that bastard Teng Lingfeng.
He caused us to lose a talented general like Lin Xunhua, and I will always remember this grudge!
Before leaving Tianyun City, I must teach this guy a lesson.
I remember that last time I was arrested with Teng Lingfeng, and also with Fan Muqing, the son of the Grand Tutor of Tianxuan State.
