Inside the Zichen Hall.
Zhou Jing'an casually handed the cloak he had taken off to Ye Song, stepped into the hall, and knelt respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Feng Yu, who was originally reviewing memorials, was startled when he saw him come in. He then frowned and scolded him, "Didn't I tell you to rest? Why did you come here anyway?"
He walked over quickly and helped Zhou Jing'an up, and couldn't help but worry about his injuries.
Zhou Jing'an thanked him, shook his head and said, "My injury is no longer serious, so it's okay."
Then he began to report today's actions.
"...When we followed the clues and went there, the place was deserted except for two people."
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's the dead Qian Sidu and his men."
Feng Yu asked him to sit down and frowned when he heard this.
"Did you bring back the body?"
Zhou Jing'an nodded: "It has been sent to the Ministry of Justice."
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, we must let the coroner check it to see if we can find some clues.
Feng Yu clenched his fists and said coldly, "Investigate, send more people to investigate."
"I just don't believe it. Would he be able to fly like a fly with wings?"
Zhou Jing'an nodded in acceptance: "Yes, I will take people to investigate the counties and prefectures surrounding the capital."
As he turned around and was about to leave, Feng Yu quickly stopped him: "Wait."
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you running around?"
Zhou Jing'an lowered his eyes and said firmly, "They hurt Ling'er. I must capture them myself."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as Jiang Ling was mentioned, Feng Yu had an idea.
He nodded, "Yeah, I have ambition."
Then he pondered for a moment, "But, you're getting married soon, are you sure you still want to go out and run around?"
"Besides, does she know you're like this?"
He ran away with injuries all over his body, and the poison in his body had not been completely removed.
Zhou Jing'an was stunned, and his momentum weakened instantly.
"Your Majesty, please don't tell her."
Otherwise she would definitely be angry with him.
Feng Yu was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "This won't do. Ning An told me that she likes this sister-in-law very much, and I won't allow her to be sad in the slightest."
He pretended to be embarrassed, "How can I go against Ning An's wishes? I must tell her."
"Your Majesty." Zhou Jing'an's voice was filled with anxiety. "If Ling'er knew, she would definitely be angry. Your Majesty should not tell anyone."
"You."
Feng Yu laughed out loud, patted his shoulder with one hand, and pushed him to sit on the armchair, "Just take a good rest for me, prepare for the wedding, and don't worry about the rest."
Without waiting for Zhou Jing'an to refute, he called Xiang Feng in.
"You take your men and continue to investigate. Do not let Buyan get involved again, otherwise you will be held responsible."
Xiang Feng clasped his fists, accepted the order, and turned to leave.
If Zhou Jing'an had not been too stubborn, and he could not afford to offend him or defeat him, he would not have disobeyed the imperial order.
He would leave now, taking advantage of the time when Zhou Jing'an was being held back by the emperor, so that he couldn't catch up.
As Xiang Feng thought about this, his steps became more hurried.
"Your Majesty..." Zhou Jing'an frowned to express his dissatisfaction, but was suppressed by Feng Yu with a palm.
"Just stay here and be obedient. If your injuries haven't healed by March 28th, even I will be implicated by Ning An."
Feng Yu glared at him and signaled him to behave himself for the sake of their two lives.
Zhou Jing'an had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Before leaving, he hesitated and asked Feng Yu not to tell Jiang Ling about his mission today.
But in the end Jiang Ling still found out.
It wasn't that Feng Yu reported the secret, but that there was a traitor around Zhou Jing'an himself.
Ye Song lowered his brows and eyes, smiling ingratiatingly, "Sir, I have no choice. The princess asked directly, so I can't lie, right?"
He touched his nose and thought to himself that he was afraid of their young master, but their young master was afraid of the princess, so it would be better for him to recognize the situation early.
Following the future mistress, the future is bright.
Zhou Jing'an frowned and gave him a cold look.
"Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
His cold voice frightened Ye Song so much that he trembled, but he still swallowed his saliva and stiffened his neck, looking scared, but in fact he was fearless.
"I am willing to accept the punishment."
Zhou Jing'an was so angry that he was about to ask Ye Bai to take him to the martial arts training ground to practice when he heard a voice coming slowly from behind him.
"Let me see, who is going to punish you?"
-
Ye Song took a glimpse of it and his eyes lit up instantly.
Now he was not afraid at all.
Ye Song's mouth corners were about to curl up with joy, but Zhou Jing'an, on the other hand, froze when he heard the voice. He slowly turned around and smiled stiffly.
"Ling'er, why are you here?"
Ye Song was good at trying to please others, so he moved over by wiggling his legs.
"Greetings, Princess." Then he whispered, "The young master wants to send a subordinate, please save my life, Princess."
Zhou Jingan widened his eyes and frowned, "You!"
As a result, when he met Jiang Ling's eyes, he was speechless and could only say weakly: "Flatterer..."
Ye Bai on the side nodded silently.
He is indeed a flatterer, and he hits the horse's butt with his one pat.
Jiang Ling watched the little movements of the master and servants and tried hard to suppress her laughter.
After Hu Hu came back, he said that although there were some deviations in the target person's cognition of the mission, it did not affect the progress of the mission, so Jiang Ling had to continue the mission.
However, whether or not to tell Zhou Jing the truth about the Security Department depends on Jiang Ling's own decision.
Jiang Ling also asked, aren’t you afraid that Zhou Jing’an’s favorability will collapse after he knows the truth?
Huhu said that Zhou Jingan has fallen in love with her now, and the data shows that he will compromise and deceive himself for Jiang Ling.
This made Jiang Ling feel a little complicated.
I wanted to not see him for a few days to sort out our relationship, but when I asked Zizhen to pick up the food box for snacks for him, I found that he had already left the palace to pursue the enemy.
She couldn't sit still when she heard this, and as soon as they came back, she immediately called Ye Song over to find out what happened.
Originally, she wanted to bribe Ye Song with something, but this boy was very sensible and blurted out everything at once.
He told her everything: Zhou Jing'an ignored the advice, disobeyed the imperial order, didn't take the antidote on time, and his wound almost broke open again.
The more Jiang Ling listened, the angrier she became. She didn't care about anything else and just came over.
She pursed her lips and looked at him with a tense face.
"Zhou Jing'an, is your body made of iron? You don't know how to cherish it."
When he heard Jiang Ling calling him by his full name, he thought something was wrong and hurried over to comfort her.
"Ling'er, don't be angry. My injuries are almost healed. Really."
Zhou Jing'an waved his hand, and the others wisely left, especially Ye Song, who walked with great speed.
Now that there was no one around, Zhou Jing'an no longer had any scruples. He gently grabbed her sleeve and shook it slowly.
Softly admitting his mistake: "Ling'er, don't be angry."
