Lu Yanluo was awakened by a burst of voices. There was an anxious voice in her ear, yelling for someone to find a doctor, while gently shaking herself, trying to wake the person up.

It was Chu Xuan. Lu Yanluo sighed secretly in her heart, feeling distressed unconsciously. She had made him worried again this time. She hadn't heard from him for seven whole days. Chu Xuan must be very worried.

With a moan coming out of her mouth, Lu Yanluo slowly opened her eyes and met Chu Xuan's panicked eyes.

"A Luo!" Chu Xuan hugged her tightly and asked carefully, "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of hurting her.

Lu Yanluo shook her head, and Chu Xuan leaned his head on Lu Yanluo's neck and slowly exhaled, which scared him to death.

Since the day they separated at Kong Chenyang's tomb, Lu Yanluo had disappeared without a trace. No matter how hard he searched the entire capital, he couldn't find even a single person.

Overnight, Kong Chenyang disappeared, the child Kong Xiaobao disappeared, and Lu Yanluo also disappeared.

Chu Xuan had a hunch that when Lu Yanluo left that day, she would definitely be worried about Kong Xiaobao and would return to the Kong Mansion, so he had sent people to guard around the Kong Mansion in the past few days.

This morning someone finally came to report that Lu Yanluo was found in a courtyard behind the Confucius Mansion.

After Chu Xuan received the news, he rushed to the Kong Mansion without stopping. However, when he arrived, Lu Yanluo had her eyes closed and was lying there motionless. Her chest did not even rise or fall, as if she had died.

Chu Xuan was frightened. He walked forward with unsteady steps, suppressed the panic in his heart, and put his hand on Lu Yanluo's neck.

There is a pulse, fortunately, the person is still alive.

In just a flash, Chu Xuan felt as if he had died. He let out a long sigh, and his pounding heart finally found a home.

"I'm sorry for scaring you." Lu Yanluo felt guilty. She slowly raised her hand and touched the side of Chu Xuan's face. She smiled suddenly, "As long as you are here, no matter where I am, I will always find a way to come back."

Chu Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red. He took a deep breath of Lu Yanluo's scent and nodded after a long time.

The doctor came hurriedly behind and after some examination, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Lu Yanluo's body. Only then did Chu Xuan feel at ease and took her back to Prince Ye's Mansion.

In Yun Ya Garden, Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo sat opposite each other and talked about everything that had happened in the past seven days.

That’s right, Lu Yanluo did not lose her memory because of Kong Chenyang’s medicine. As early as when Alega wanted to kill her, but Kong Chenyang stopped him, Lu Yanluo became alert.

So at that time, although Lu Yanluo drank the medicine given by Kong Chenyang, she had already taken the detoxification pill in advance, so the medicine did not work at all, but only made her fall into a coma.

"So, you have been locked up in the secret room under the rockery by Kong Chenyang these days?" Chu Xuan's face looked extremely ugly. He sent people to search the Kong Mansion several times, but they couldn't find the secret room.

This Kong Chenyang is really cunning!

Lu Yanluo said solemnly, "These are nothing. What I am most worried about is that Tatuo man. Kong Chenyang is not from Tianji. He is a spy sent by Tatuo to secretly lurk in Tianji. He has been secretly passing Tianji's secrets back to Tatuo. I am afraid that Tatuo will not be at peace for too long."

"And this time, what was the purpose of Kong Chenyang's fake death? Why did he deliberately approach the Night Palace? We don't know these. I always feel that Kong Chenyang's attitude is very strange, indescribably strange. And the woman in the painting in the secret room is Princess Luochuan of the Jingjing Kingdom."

Chu Xuan didn't want Lu Yanluo to be involved anymore, so he said, "Leave this matter to me, I will investigate it thoroughly, you don't need to get involved anymore, stay in the mansion and spend time with the children, I will take care of everything."

After leaving Yunya Garden, Chu Xuan's face darkened, and he walked into the study room aggressively, calling out, "Shen He!"

"Master, I will check on Kong Chenyang immediately."

Chu Xuan raised his hand and exhaled heavily, "Kong Chenyang is indeed dead. His name is A Hongshan, from Tatuo. Go check this name. Also, what is his relationship with the Jingjing Kingdom? No matter how big or small, I want to know everything."

Chu Xuan has a guess that needs to be confirmed.

Shen He took the order and left, and soon brought back a message.

It turns out that the current Kong Chenyang, also known as A Hongshan, is actually the prince of Tatuo, and his mother is the princess of the Jingjing Kingdom.

But unfortunately, this princess of the Jingjing Kingdom had no status in Tatuo at all, so Ahongshan's identity as a prince was never recognized by the King of Tatuo.

Ah Hongshan grew up in Jingjing and was childhood sweethearts with Princess Luochuan. Unfortunately, Jingjing was destroyed later and Princess Luochuan committed suicide. Ah Hongshan then returned to Tatuo. Three years later, he secretly sneaked into Tianji and killed Kong Chenyang who went to Beijing for an imperial examination. He took his place and after many years of management, he became the current historian.

Chu Xuan was not overly surprised by this. It was almost the same as what Lu Yanluo said, except that there was an additional entanglement between Ah Hongshan and the princess of the Jingjing Kingdom.

It's just that the destruction of the Kingdom of Jingjing was caused by the young emperor. At that time, the emperor was still a young boy, just starting out, but he conquered Jingjing in one fell swoop, which made the then emperor take notice of him, and soon after, he was made the crown prince.

Now it seems that Xingjing was destroyed, so Ah Hongshan fled to Tatuo. In order to avenge Xingjing's destruction of his country, he was willing to hide his identity and live in Tianji.

Just when Chu Xuan was digging deeper into Kong Chenyang's identity, Kong Chenyang suddenly appeared in the capital.

Everyone in the capital was in an uproar, thinking that Kong Chenyang had come back from the dead.

However, Kong Chenyang explained that when the fire broke out in his house, he was not in the capital, but went to Pingzhou.

As for what he was going to Pingzhou for, he kept silent and could only say that he would speak only after meeting the emperor.

The emperor originally lost trust in Kong Chenyang because of his faked death, but Kong Chenyang seemed to have anticipated this and secretly wrote a memorial about the Pingzhou incident and submitted it to the emperor.

The next day, the emperor changed his mind and summoned Kong Chenyang into the palace.

In the Taiji Palace, Kong Chenyang knelt before the emperor and said in a rhythmic voice: "Every word I said is true. I hope Your Majesty will understand and be on guard against the Night King as soon as possible to ensure the stability of our Tianji Kingdom."

The emperor bowed his head and looked at the accounts and confessions on the table.

These were brought back by Kong Chenyang from Pingzhou. They were evidence that Ye Wang Chuxuan had amassed wealth from local wealthy families in Pingzhou under the guise of disaster relief.

"The Night King used the name of disaster relief to force the local wealthy to give money. If the local wealthy families were unwilling to give money, the Night King would punish them for making money from the national disaster, forcing the wealthy merchants from all over Pingzhou to complain."

"If the silver was really used for disaster relief, I would have nothing to say, but the Night King secretly transported the silver back to the capital to raise private soldiers."
