When Chu Xuan left the capital, no one in the capital noticed it at first. It was only when the servants Chu Han sent to keep an eye on Prince Ye's Mansion came back to report that there was something strange about the Prince Ye and the Princess in the Mansion that Chu Han noticed it.

In order to verify whether the two people in the mansion are the real Night King and Night Princess, Chu Han specially sent people to sneak into the Night King's Mansion, and found that there was no one in the bedroom. Not only that, the prince and the young lady in Yun Yayuan were not there either. It was said that they were sent to Cheng Mansion.

This is so strange. If Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan were already in the mansion, why would the child be secretly sent to Cheng Ruoxue?

The more Chu Han thought about it, the more certain he became that Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo must have left Beijing secretly.

Since ancient times, princes in their fiefdoms were not allowed to return to the capital without the emperor's permission. Similarly, princes in the capital were not allowed to leave the capital without the emperor's permission.

Now, Chu Xuan not only left the capital, but also took the princess with him. Such behavior cannot help but make people wonder whether King Ye left the capital secretly in order to rebel.

Chu Han thought he had something on Chu Xuan, so he rushed to the palace to report to the emperor that Chu Xuan had left Beijing.

The emperor already had many suspicions about Chu Xuan, and when he received the news he could not sit still and hurried to the Night Prince's Mansion to verify it.

In the end, it was proved that what Chu Han said was true. Chu Xuan really took Lu Yanluo away from the capital and there was no news of him.

If the emperor had not known that Chu Yuan and Chu Yao were still in the capital, he would have been certain that Chu Xuan was preparing to rebel.

The secret guards who pretended to be Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo were hastily captured and interrogated many times but to no avail.

At this moment, the spy at the city gate came to report that the Night King and his queen had returned to the capital.

Chu Han received the news and waited here just to give Chu Xuan a beating. However, he was ignored by Chu Xuan. How could he not be angry?

And on the other side, in the Tai Chi Hall.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looked at Chu Xuan, and asked, "So you have been away from the capital for so long. Did you go to Fengxi Country to help them quell the rebellion?"

Chu Xuan bowed and replied, "Father, although this may sound a little bizarre, it is true. On that day, the Third Prince of Fengxi revealed his identity in front of me and bluntly asked Tianji to become his ally. As long as we can help him regain the throne, he will agree to make peace with Tianji forever. This is the letter written by the Third Prince when I left Fengxi."

Chu Xuan was calm and took out the amulet he had prepared early in the morning.

He didn't believe that the emperor could say anything with this letter in hand.

Sure enough, the emperor was very surprised. He opened the letter with joy and happiness. It did say "eternal friendship" inside. The emperor immediately smiled happily.

"Good! That's great! Fengxi has always been easy to defend but hard to attack. For many years, it has had a lukewarm relationship with our Tianji. It is rare to be able to write this letter now. This can ensure that during the reign of the new emperor of Fengxi, the two countries will never go to war again. Chu Xuan's trip is really a great achievement. Tell me, what happened over there?"

Chu Xuan told the story in detail.

"Your Majesty, this matter started from the day when Lord Kong advised you to arrest the people of Fengxi." Chu Xuan deliberately brought up what happened that day in order to poke the emperor.

Sure enough, the emperor's face turned a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he was the one who asked Chu Xuan to say this, so he couldn't say anything. He could only endure it. However, he couldn't help cursing Kong Chenyang in his heart for giving such a bad idea.

It was already noon when they came out of the palace. The two had been traveling all the way and had practiced Tai Chi with the emperor, so they were really tired. So when they saw Kong Chenyang at the palace gate, they had no interest in saying anything. They just left as if they didn't see him.

Kong Chenyang stood at the palace gate. He originally came here to get information, but he was ignored. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he became more curious about Chu Xuan's secret departure from the capital.

He turned around and quietly disappeared into the inner palace, intending to find someone to investigate.

However, before the people who were sent out returned, the news of Chu Xuan's departure from the capital spread throughout the palace.

The emperor made a rare high-profile announcement that he would hold a celebration banquet for Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo to celebrate the Night King's hard work in traveling to Fengxi Kingdom and assisting the new ruler of Fengxi Kingdom in suppressing the rebellion.

As soon as the news came out, those who were paying attention to this matter were shocked. They guessed thousands of possibilities, but no one had ever thought that this person went directly to Fengxi Kingdom and helped the King of Fengxi Kingdom to quell the rebellion.

The celebration banquet was scheduled for lunch on the second day. This was the first time that Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo were the objects of congratulations and had a banquet in the Taiji Hall. This was enough to show how much the emperor valued Feng Xi's letter this time.

At the banquet, the emperor was in a very good mood and took out the letter from the throne that Chu Xuan brought back.

"My dear ministers, King Ye has made great contributions this time. When he returned from Fengxi, he also brought back a handwritten letter from the King of Fengxi, Emperor Qian'an, which said that he wanted to be friends with Tianji forever. This is enough to show that the King of Fengxi is close to our Tianji. I will send an envoy to Fengxi in person soon to present congratulatory gifts for the new emperor's ascension to the throne."

"Your Majesty is wise! Long live the emperor!" All the ministers stood up and knelt, shouting "Long live the emperor" three times.

Lu Yanluo watched from the side with a frown on her face.

[He is wise? What is he wise about? He has nothing to do with this whole thing. Now he is the wise one. What were you doing before? A bunch of lickspittles.]

Chu Xuan glanced at Lu Yanluo who was full of resentment, raised his hand and gently held her hand, and whispered: "Are you tired?"

Lu Yanluo curled her lips. She wasn't tired, but she was fed up with being hypocritical with these people here. They all seemed to want to get rid of them as soon as possible, but she had to put on a smiling face and curry favor with them.

"Chu Xuan, you are our great hero this time, I..."

"hypocritically!"

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor's interest faded. He picked up the wine glass and toasted Chu Xuan and was about to leave. Chu Han, perhaps because of his drunken remarks or resentment in his heart, suddenly blurted out these three words before the emperor opened his mouth.

The originally bustling hall suddenly became quiet. The emperor's face turned ugly as he was humiliated by his own son.

The scene was so awkward that you could hear a pin drop.

[Well said! Chu Han, ah Chu Han, you finally told the truth! ]

Lu Yanluo watched with great interest, watching how this show would end.

After a long while, the emperor put down the wine glass with a bang. He could no longer say what he had said before. People said he was hypocritical, so what else could he say?

"Prince Liang is drunk, why don't you take him away to sober him up!" The emperor pointed at the eunuch beside Chu Han and said angrily, "You ignorant servant, what use are you!"

Such a wonderful banquet was ruined by Chu Han. No one dared to say anything and left cautiously, fearing that they would be implicated.
