He remained in that position, gazing at the sky for a long time. Song Fengzhi sensed that a storm was about to arrive.
I believe that in a little while, a soldier will come to report that His Highness Prince Yi has been attacked.
How did he know about this?
Because there was a spy around Prince Yi, and Song Fengzhi had already noticed the spy, but since they had no relationship and were not familiar with each other, he didn't care since it didn't concern him.
The lives of others are meaningless to him now; he only needs to protect one person.
He was confident in himself; he was confident that he could protect Shen Ye for a lifetime.
He once said that he would kill anyone who dared to touch Chen Ye's family!
What an arrogant tone! How could someone who isn't extremely confident say something like that?
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight awaken the sleeping earth.
The moat flows slowly, its calm and resonant rhythm a testament to life...
Before Song Fengzhi had even gotten out of bed, a servant came to report that the emperor had urgently summoned him to the palace for an audience.
It's obvious why.
The seventh prince, Yao Junyi, was escorting the envoy from Yun Kingdom when they were attacked on the way. His whereabouts and fate remain unknown.
As for those envoys, some were dead and some were wounded. Even if the emperor wasn't worried about Yao Junyi, he should be worried about those envoys. After all, they were people from Yun Kingdom. If this matter wasn't handled properly, the peace treaty might be in vain. Given the temper of Yun Kingdom's regent, Yin Xingchuan, the two countries would have to go to war again.
Having finally secured a chance for peace and recuperation through a marriage alliance, would Emperor Yao Qinglong simply stand by and watch the two countries go to war again?
Therefore, his most urgent task was to consult with him, the Grand General who protects the nation, immediately.
After leaving Emperor Yao Qinglong's study, Song Fengzhi kept thinking about one question.
The bodies of the dead envoys have been brought back, and the wounded have been taken back. So why should he go looking for a prince he doesn't like?
Is it to show the world that Yao Qinglong is not the kind of person who treats the Seventh Prince like dirt, as the legends say?
Just then, Song Fengzhi bumped into someone, and upon closer inspection, he realized that the person was none other than the emperor's eunuch.
"Eunuch Li, where are you rushing off to?" Song Fengzhi asked with a smile.
"General Song probably doesn't know yet, but Princess Yi has also gone missing."
"What? Wasn't Princess Consort of Prince Yi staying at Prince Yi's residence perfectly fine? How could this be?"
"This old servant is also puzzled. I heard that Princess Yi went out with Prince Yi while she was mixed in with the guards. Now, the two of them have disappeared together."
"Eunuch Li, I just remembered I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." Song Fengzhi clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned and left.
The news that he had just received the knife from Eunuch Li was too shocking. He needed to go back and sort it out properly. He had a feeling that there was more to it than met the eye.
When they returned to the mansion, Shen Ye was already up. Everyone in the General's Mansion knew about his relationship with Song Fengzhi, so the servants here automatically regarded him as their master and no one dared to disrespect him.
It had only been a quarter of an hour since Shen Ye finished breakfast, and one of his servants had already asked him no less than ten times if he was hungry and wanted something to eat.
At first, Shen Ye would refuse, but later he was speechless. Did they think he was a pig and fed him like this? Even if he was a pig, food is free, right? They really didn't care because they weren't spending their own money. They kept asking him if he wanted to eat, as if they were afraid that the food in the manor wouldn't be enough.
