Chapter 452: Regarding Feng Wuyou's unknown secrets, ask the man in black about it

Xiao Jinyan's eyes froze. After such a long time, there was finally news. He thought it would be the same as before and he would not be able to find any news at all.

"Let him in."

After Qin Xiao left, Su Ying came in from outside and knelt on one knee to salute, "Master."

Xiao Jinyan said: "Get up and answer the question."

"Thank you, master." Su Ying stood up straight and reported everything he had found out.

"I went to investigate for a long time, but almost no one in the entire Nan Zhao had heard of Feng Wuyou. It was not until I passed through a remote village that I heard an old man mention Feng Wuyou."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Who is Feng Wuyou? Does he know?"

"I heard from the old man that a plague broke out in Nanzhao Kingdom a few years ago, and since then, there has been no such person as Feng Wuyou. As for who it was, the old man has always avoided talking about it." Su Ying replied respectfully.

After listening to this, Xiao Jinyan became even more curious about Feng Wuyou. What kind of person would disappear out of nowhere and make the Nanzhao Kingdom avoid talking about him?

Who is that man in black?

"A sudden plague? Why have I never heard of a sudden plague in Nanzhao? Plague is no small matter. It is impossible for Nanzhao to hide it from Linjin."

"I also find it strange. After much investigation, I learned that this plague came fiercely and went away quickly. In just one day, there was no loss in the Nanzhao Kingdom, so it did not spread." Suying said.

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "That's even more strange. If the plague receded in one day, can it still be called a plague? How is it different from a rain?"

Shuying lowered his brows and closed his eyes, because he was also curious, but after asking for a long time, the answers he got were always the same.

Xiao Jinyan pondered for a long time. Thinking about the paintings and jade in the secret compartment and the words said by the man in black, he wanted to know the truth.

A few years ago, he sent people to check and found that there was no one with the surname Feng in the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Su Ying speculated: "Master, is it possible that there is actually no such person as Feng Wuyou?"

"If there was no such person as Feng Wuyou, how could I have her portrait?" Xiao Jinyan remembered that the person in the painting was somewhat similar to Xiaojiu. Maybe it was a coincidence.

Shuying lowered his head. How would he know? He had looked for clues a few years ago but found nothing. He was luckier this time and found some clues, but they didn't seem to be of much use.

Shuying had been in Nanzhao for nearly half a year and had lost a lot of weight, which also showed that she had suffered a lot during this trip.

Xiao Jinyan waved his hand and said, "Go down and have a rest."

"Thank you, master." Suying left the study.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the memorial in his hand. In fact, he had no expectations for this investigation, but he was still a little disappointed to get this answer. The lost memory seemed to have no effect on him, but the words of the man in black reminded him all the time that the lost memory was very important.

"Liu Xi."

Liu Xi, who was guarding the door, bowed and walked in, "What do you want, Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Go and call Concubine Xu over."

"Yes." Liu Xi took the order and left, then went to Yixiang Palace.

Concubine Xu was staring at the small bell in her hand with boredom, because it hadn't chirped for four months, which was equivalent to not seeing Jun Wuxian for four months.

He said he would say something before leaving, but he just left without saying a word.

Concubine Xu originally planned to leave the palace at the end of the year, but because she couldn't bear to leave Shen Chuwei and Tao Liangyuan, she planned to leave the palace in the early spring of this year.

You can go back home anytime, but once you leave the palace it will be difficult to see each other again.

When Liu Xi came in with a bow and told Concubine Xu that His Royal Highness had summoned her for something, in the past, Concubine Xu would definitely be happy to dress up nicely to meet His Royal Highness.

now?

She said "hmm" lightly, then followed Liu Xi to the study, waving her handkerchief.

After entering, Concubine Xu stepped forward and bowed, "May Your Highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan raised his head and looked at Concubine Xu and found that she had lost weight.

Concubine Xu has lost more than ten pounds in the past four months, and her weight loss is so obvious that Xiao Jinyan can't ignore it even if she wants to.

"Stand up and talk. I have something to discuss with you."

Compared to her arrogance and domineering behavior in the past three years, Concubine Xu is now a bit gentler.

"Your Highness, what is it that you have summoned me to discuss?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't want to waste time, so it would be best to get straight to the point with Concubine Xu.

"I want to see the man in black, do you have any ideas?"

Speaking of the man in black, Concubine Xu felt a little worried. She shook her head and said, "Your Highness, there is nothing I can do."

Xiao Jinyan paused, seeming a little surprised by Concubine Xu's answer.

"Then how do you usually meet the man in black? I don't believe that you have never met in private."

"I have seen him before, but every time it was the man in black who took the initiative to find me, and I didn't know how to find him." After saying this, Concubine Xu sighed in her heart. If she had known, she would have contacted him long ago and would not have to wait for more than four months.

It was only at this time that Xiao Jinyan found out that Concubine Xu and the man in black had not seen each other for four months. Concubine Xu had no way to contact the man in black, and if he wanted to find him, it would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

"If the man in black comes looking for you again, tell him that I want to see him."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xu thought that Xiao Jinyan was going to cause trouble for the man in black. If that was true, it would be even more difficult to meet him next time.

"Why does Your Highness want to see him? He didn't do anything bad. Although it was wrong to sneak into the palace, he did help a lot. When the Crown Princess was imprisoned in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I asked him to bring food to her."

Xiao Jinyan: “…” You don’t even know who that person is, and you’re already protecting him?

"Breaking into the palace at night is a capital crime."

Concubine Xu naturally knew the crime of breaking into the palace at night, and she tried her best to speak well of the man in black, "But if he hadn't broken into the palace at night, I would have died of the plague, and the Crown Princess wouldn't have been able to eat delicious food. Your Highness can't issue a hunting order or arrest warrant for him."

"..." Xiao Jinyan: "I see that he has something to do, not to question him."

Concubine Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't held accountable, she was glad. She didn't want Jun Wuxian to become a wanted criminal.

"I understand."

Xiao Jinyan waved his sleeves and Concubine Xu left.

Since he couldn't see the man in black, Xiao Jinyan had no chance to ask any questions, because now only the man in black knew who Feng Wuyou was and what was his relationship with him?

After finishing the matters at hand, Xiao Jinyan went to the Hehuan Palace.

Just as the lights were being turned on, snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Shen Chuwei brought her children to the corridor to watch the snow.

The two little guys were more excited than she was when they saw the falling snowflakes.

Shen Chuwei reached out her hand, took the snowflake, and happily handed it to the babies, "Babies, this is a snowflake."

Susu looked down at the palm of Shen Chuwei's hand. Her little fingers had already turned into snowflakes of water. She said in a baby voice, "It's Huahua, Mommy, Huahua."

Shen Chuwei thinks that the way a one-year-old talks is fun and cute, especially her pink little face and the serious tone of her voice, which is simply so adorable.

"The snow has melted."

This was the scene Xiao Jinyan saw when he stepped into the Hehuan Palace. The warm scene made him ignore the cold wind blowing past, and the indifference in his eyes was replaced by tenderness.

Susu was the first to see Xiao Jinyan. She opened her arms and flew towards him happily.

It's snowing and the road is slippery.

Shen Chuwei was startled when she saw her precious daughter flying, and hurriedly chased after her.

Xiao Jinyan was also startled and ran over as fast as he could and held his daughter in his arms.

"Daddy." Susu happily hugged Xiao Jinyan's neck and kissed his handsome face, "Well."

Xiao Jinyan looked at his daughter's eyes, which were as smiling as Xiaojiu's, and corrected her: "Call me father."

Susu imitated and said: "Father - King."

Although the pronunciation was not clear enough, I could still tell it was my father.

Xiao Jinyan praised: "You have learned well."

Shen Chuwei held her son's hand and looked at the father and daughter in front of her. Even she herself had not expected that she would get married and have children at the age of eighteen. It was something she would never have thought of in the past.

Xiao Jinyan walked over holding Susu, and stretched out one hand to hold Shen Chuwei's hand, and found that her hand was colder than his own.

"It's cold outside. Don't stand outside in the cold wind."

"I understand." Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan in.

Chunxi brought the dishes to the table one by one. There was also a stove with simmering dishes on it, which smelled delicious.

The two little guys sat on the dining chairs and started eating their own meals.

Xiao Jinyan picked up the bowl and thought of his mother's birthday, "It's coming soon, what kind of birthday gift do you think would be best for her?"

Shen Chuwei swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking: "My mother is the empress, and you have no shortage of gold, silver, jewels, and silks, but..."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "But what?"

Shen Chuwei chuckled: "My mother is already over 40 years old. Women care most about their appearance. I plan to make a facial mask and cream for her."

Xiao Jinyan heard some strange words from her mouth again and was a little curious, "Mask? Cream? What is it?"

Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "It's skin care products for skin care."

Xiao Jinyan recalled that her mother had complained in her heart that her father disliked her for having crow's feet and for not being as good as a teenage girl, so any skin care products with very effective effects were indeed a very good birthday present.

"This is a good birthday gift. You have the ability."

"My Queen Mother treats me very well, so of course I will give her the gift she wants most."

Shen Chuwei is the type of person who will treat others twice as well if they treat her well. The Queen is very kind to her and there is no such thing as any conflict between her and her mother-in-law.

Xiao Jinyan saw that his mother treated Xiaojiu better than her own son. However, his relationship with her had also improved a lot compared to before.

The next day, Shen Chuwei took out some Chinese herbal medicines that were effective for skin care from the space and began to make facial masks and creams.

Xiao Jinyan did not have to attend the morning court today, so he asked someone to bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the low table. He spread the rice paper and held his son in his arms, intending to teach him how to write step by step.

Taotao was extremely happy when she got the red pen.

At this moment, Xiao Jinyu strode in angrily from outside.

"Brother, the Emperor actually asked me to marry Wanxin as well."

Today, Xiao Jinyu brought up the matter of marrying a concubine again, and the emperor agreed, but asked him to marry both Miss Han and Wanxin as concubines.
