Chapter 224 Skills (Update 1)
Prince Qi's Palace.
Xiao Chengxuan looked at the table full of food, but he had no appetite at all. He asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out what Chen Yanchuan said to father after he entered the palace last night?"
The secret guard bowed his head and said, "In reply to your Highness, no. I only heard that... after the prince left, His Majesty summoned Xu Fengchi to the palace."
Xiao Chengxuan frowned: "Xu Fengchi?"
"Yes. But he stayed in the palace for a short time and returned home soon."
Xiao Chengxuan was in deep thought.
Chen Yanchuan led his men to search the Han family's house, but a fire broke out in the Han family's house. No matter what, he had to go to the palace and report everything.
But why was Xu Fengchi involved later?
"Also, early this morning, Han Yao held Ye Chutang hostage, forcing the Prince of Dingbei to release Han Tong. Han Tong has already been brought over."
"What did you say!?"
Xiao Chengxuan stood up in shock.
"Han Yao is awake!? And that Chen Yanchuan! Han Tong is a death row prisoner! How dare he rob him!?"
Today was the day Han Tong was supposed to die. Once his head fell to the ground, many things would be buried with him.
Who would have thought that Shen Yanchuan was so courageous! ?
If Han Tong falls into his hands, who knows what he will find out——
Seeing how angry he was, his subordinates were also terrified: "Your Highness, then, then will you still enter the palace?"
"Change the route! Go to Han..." Xiao Chengxuan stopped talking halfway, with a struggle on his face. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, "Ignore them! Enter the palace immediately!"
If we rush to the Han family at this time, wouldn't it be a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?
…
The Imperial Palace.
Xiao Chengxuan walked quickly and came to Yaohua Palace.
"Where's mother?"
He asked as he walked inside.
When Concubine Ru heard the noise, she called him in, dismissed the attendants, and left only a trusted maid guarding the door. Then she asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Chengxuan frowned and said, "Mother, something happened at the Han family."
He quickly recounted what had happened, and Concubine Ru was unable to conceal her shock.
"Han Yao is crazy, is Chen Yanchuan crazy too? Even if he is the prince of Dingbei Marquisate, he is too bold to do this—"
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something: "Could it be that the princess came to the palace just for this matter!?"
Xiao Chengxuan frowned: "What did you say? The princess is here?"
Since she fell ill, the princess has rarely come to the palace. Today——
"They must be here to support Chen Yanchuan! But Chen Yanchuan is too overbearing! In this way, what is the difference between this and disobeying an imperial order!? Do they still have——"
Speaking of this, Concubine Ru took a deep breath and felt a dull pain in her chest!
"I will go find His Majesty right now!" She said, and was about to go out immediately. However, as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by Xiao Chengxuan.
"Mother, no!"
Concubine Ru frowned and said, "Why not?"
"If the princess comes in person, even the emperor will have to give her some respect. What's the point of you going now? And I heard that Chen Yanchuan searched the Han and Ye families yesterday and entered the palace overnight. No one knows what he said to the emperor in the imperial study."
Xiao Chengxuan thought about it over and over again along the way, and always felt that things were not that simple.
"He dared to do this. Could it be that he was not disobeying the order, but... obeying the order?"
In the second half of the sentence, his voice was much lower, almost inaudible, but it made Concubine Ru stunned for a moment.
She opened her mouth and took a step back: "How, how is it possible..."
"Although the Dingbei Marquisate has always been overbearing, it has always had rules. Today, this..." Xiao Chengxuan paused, "So I came to the palace to ask, what is your attitude towards this matter?"
Concubine Ru was worried. She hadn't seen His Majesty since the palace banquet ended last night. How could she know this?
"Also," Xiao Chengxuan slowly tightened his fist, "Father summoned Xu Fengchi overnight. Do you know why?"
…
“Start digging!”
Following Yun Cheng's order, several officers and soldiers began to act.
Soon, a strange noise was heard, and a corner of the box appeared from under the soil.
Ye Yunfeng's heart was pounding. Without waiting for others, he jumped down immediately and dug out the box as quickly as possible.
It was a heavy iron box, locked with a very thick chain. The lock was rusty and looked like it had been buried there for several years.
Ye Yunfeng pulled it, and the iron chains made a sound when they collided.
Yun Cheng stepped forward and said, "Master Ye Si, this lock is broken. I'm afraid it's hard to open. Why don't you take it to Han——"
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sound of "clang". Ye Yunfeng had actually ripped off the chain, taking the padlock with it, leaving only the deformed nail sticking out.
“…”
Yun Cheng's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him again.
Of course he knew that Ye Yunfeng had some skills, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat Murong Ye so easily, but the art of riding and shooting could still be explained by experience, and now this -
Ye Yunfeng clearly saw the way the lock was embedded at a glance, quickly found the most vulnerable point, and took action without hesitation.
This requires not only amazing strength, but also smart and precise eyesight.
Anyone who looked at this young boy from the countryside would think that he was reckless and impulsive by nature. However, after seeing this scene, Yun Cheng realized that he was actually much smarter than everyone thought.
Ye Yunfeng held the box in one hand and stretched out the other hand, but just as he was about to open the box, he suddenly stopped.
I still don’t know what’s in here. There are so many people around here, so it’s better to be careful.
Thinking of this, he closed the box, hugged it tighter, then jumped up easily.
Looking at the young man's agile skills, Yun Cheng seemed to be thinking about something.
This move doesn't seem to be a wild one, but more like it was carefully calibrated and taught by someone...
But when Ye Zheng got into trouble, he was still young. Could he really have achieved what he has today with only the remaining memories from his childhood?
Before he could think clearly, Ye Yunfeng rushed out quickly.
Yun Cheng came back to his senses and followed immediately.
