Chapter 142 Ancient Rebellion Stupid Female Supporting Character 12 Troubles
"Brother is so busy." Yan Mi muttered softly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Han Chengdao.
As a general, Yan Cheng should not be so busy. He could have handed over some of his matters to his subordinates. But now he did not go home for reunion. Maybe Han Chengdao had something for Yan Cheng to do.
"That's right, but the emperor also values him." Mother Yan found it funny to see Yan Mi staring at Han Chengdao and unable to move her eyes away.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and Han Chengdao, who is the emperor, is willing to accompany Yan Mi to the general's mansion. This is already a great favor.
Mother Yan smiled and decided to teach Yan Mi some techniques on how to capture a man's mind later.
Now, she patted Yan Mi's hand and said, "Still looking? Go over."
"Mom." Yan Mi seemed embarrassed that his thoughts were seen through.
Mother Yan chuckled softly, "Your eyes are almost glued to the Emperor. Don't think your mother doesn't know."
Yan Mi smiled shyly, "Then I will go find His Majesty."
She walked to Han Chengdao, and Han Chengdao also noticed her coming, so he stretched out his hand to her.
Yan Mi felt so sweet in her heart that she couldn't wait to hold Han Chengdao's hand.
Han Chengdao was talking about national affairs with Yan's father, while Yan Mi remained silent and took note of everything they said.
Night soon fell. The moon was bright tonight, and the ground was covered with a layer of white gauze. Moreover, there was a rare curfew tonight. The streets were filled with all kinds of vendors and residents, as well as various lanterns.
In the general's mansion, a variety of dishes were served on the table.
Yan Mi saw a lot of things she liked to eat.
The meal was also very lively. After finishing the meal, Yan Mi looked at the beautiful moonlight outside and heard the lively sounds outside. Yan Mi's heart was moved.
"I want to go out and play." Yan Mi looked at Han Cheng expectantly.
Han Chengdao hesitated. Not only was tonight the Mid-Autumn Festival, but his men were also planning to catch all the Zhao spies tonight.
He couldn't guarantee that he could do it perfectly. If someone escaped, they might run to the street and blend into the crowd, and then Yan Mi would be in danger.
"It's getting late now, so we might as well go back to the palace early," said Han Chengdao.
Yan Mi didn't want to go back. "It's boring to go back to the palace. It's not as lively as outside. You can hear the noise outside. It must be fun. Let's play around for a while before going back."
Han Chengdao was almost about to agree when Yan's father said, "Mi'er, listen to the emperor and return to the palace as soon as possible."
Yan Mi looked at his father dissatisfiedly, "Dad, why are you still helping the emperor?"
Father Yan said seriously: "The emperor will tolerate you, that is your blessing, don't be angry anymore, go back early."
Yan Mi knew that the final decision still lay with Han Chengdao, so she deliberately spoke in a coquettish voice to Han Chengdao, "Your Majesty, can we play outside for a while before going back?"
Han Chengdao's decision was completely shattered. "Okay, then let's play outside for a while before going back."
Father Yan glared at Yan Mi, and Yan Mi made a face at Father Yan.
The street was indeed very lively. As soon as Yan Mi went out, he saw several children running past with laughter and holding a fish lantern.
Yan Mi exclaimed, "Your Majesty, let's go to the market. I want that lantern too."
Han Chengdao nodded, turned around and said goodbye to Yan's father and mother, and then the two of them got on the carriage.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the market. Yan Mi got off the carriage and rushed straight into the crowd.
Han Chengdao got off the carriage slowly, and the coachman took the carriage to a designated place and parked it.
Yan Mi was choosing her favorite lanterns at the stall. The variety of designs made her dizzy.
The lanterns were beautifully crafted and she wanted every one of them.
Han Chengdao walked over to her, and Yan Mi asked anxiously, "Which one should I buy?"
Han Chengdao looked at one of the lotus-shaped lamps and said, "Let's buy this one."
Yan Mi happily paid, "This lotus lantern is really beautiful, you have good taste."
Han Chengdao was coaxed into a happy mood, "Is there anything else you want?"
Yan Mi shook his head, "No more."
At the same time on the other side.
After so many days of investigation, all the spies have been found out, but unfortunately some of them are not in the capital today.
Yan Cheng led a group of people and broke into a mansion directly, and ordered people to surround the house tightly.
When the people in the house heard the sound, their hearts tightened and they hurriedly asked their accomplices, "Why are there soldiers here? Who among you has been exposed?"
"Impossible, we have been keeping a low profile during this period, there is no way we would be exposed," said another person.
After consultation, they decided to send one person out to take a look. If the situation was not right, they would inform the others so that the people in the house could take the opportunity to escape.
So after Yan Cheng knocked on the door, a handsome young man opened the door. When he saw Yan Cheng, his pupils moved, "I wonder who you are?"
Yan Cheng didn't have time to answer him, but instead captured the young man in front of him. After tying him up and handing him over to others, he immediately led his men in.
When the people inside heard the noise, they hurriedly tried to escape from the tunnel they had dug earlier. Yan Cheng arrived in time, followed them into the tunnel, and successfully captured the people.
However, there were also some who did not want to be captured and swallowed poison the moment they were caught.
Yan Cheng looked at the spy spitting blood with a cold look in his eyes, "Go and see if there are any more who have escaped. Don't let any of them go."
"yes."
As Yan Cheng emerged from the tunnel, he saw a soldier approaching him in a panic, "General Yan, the spy we just captured is dead."
"What happened?" Everyone in the tunnel was dead. These people were really determined to die.
When Yan Cheng walked out, he saw that the man had an arrow stuck in his head. The arrow had pierced his head, and the spy died instantly.
"Have you sent anyone to investigate?" Yan Cheng asked.
"Someone has been sent."
Yan Cheng nodded.
He had gained nothing, and hoped that others could capture a few spies alive.
The person who escaped was Sheng Lai. She was responsible for keeping an eye on this side, but she didn't expect that the person who took action was Yan Cheng.
If Yan Cheng were here, she might not be able to complete her mission.
She watched in the dark as the spy was tied up. Just when she thought there was no chance to deal with the spy, Yan Cheng went straight into the house to capture other people. Sheng Lai took this opportunity to shoot the spy to death with an arrow.
After making sure that the spy was dead, Sheng Lai fled for her life. She didn't want to fall into Yan Cheng's hands.
As the night deepened, the people on the street gradually dispersed. Yan Mi shivered in the cold wind.
Han Chengdao held Yan Mi in his arms and asked, "Is this any better?"
"Much better." Yan Mi lowered his head and took the initiative to move closer to Han Chengdao.
"Are we going back?" Han Chengdao asked.
Yan Mi nodded and said, "Now everyone has dispersed, it's not lively anymore, there's nothing fun to do."
Han Chengdao and Yan Mi found a restaurant that was about to close and sat down, waiting for the driver to come.
All the things Yan Mi bought were taken by Eunuch Song, while she and Han Chengdao were flirting with each other on the other side.
She looked at the setting moon and said with emotion, "I remember we met on a moonlit night with a very beautiful light."
Yan Mi's words evoked Han Chengdao's memories. He was still young at that time, and his mother was just a little palace maid. He was born without the love of his father and mother. That night, his mother was sentenced to death because of the palace fight. Before her death, she was still unwilling to accept it and wanted to take him to die with her. He was also dragged into the water, but he escaped.
But he was small and weak at that time, and he was exhausted before he climbed ashore. Fortunately, he met Yan Mi who got lost in the palace, and was rescued by Yan Mi.
"I remember it all," he said.
"We have been together for so long now. I hope I can continue to walk with you in the future, just like this moon." Yan Mi leaned on Han Chengdao and she stole a glance at Han Chengdao.
Han Chengdao was also looking at her.
"I will keep going." If Yan Mi hadn't appeared, he wouldn't be who he is now.
Eunuch Song watched from behind and sighed in his heart.
As an old servant, he also hopes that the relationship between the emperor and his wife can always be so good.
After returning to the palace, Han Chengdao had a rare chance to rest, so he could put the memorial aside for the time being.
The next day.
Yan Mi received a letter from outside the palace.
This operation was done very well, and none of the spies were left alive, but they were also being hunted, and they may be silent for a while before appearing again.
Yan Mi burned the letter, feeling confident.
When she told Han Chengdao the hiding place of the spies, she had already thought that the spies might take the initiative to expose her identity, so she could not let the spies survive.
Her people were also very capable and they actually completed everything.
Having achieved this point, Yan Mi is already very satisfied.
The only thing she needed to be on guard against now was not letting her people get caught.
There is also Sheng Lai's identity. She is also a spy, but she had deliberately concealed her identity before and even unilaterally cut off contact with her boss.
This news may have reached Zhao Mingzhang's ears.
It is impossible for Sheng Lai to continue to be safe.
At this time in the imperial study, Yan Cheng found Han Chengdao to report the results of last night.
"Everyone we investigated was dealt with. However, the strange thing is that all the spies we captured were ambushed without exception. Not a single one survived."
Han Chengdao looked at him, "Who do you think did this?"
It has not been investigated yet, and Yan Cheng did not dare to make a conclusion easily. "I don't know. The matter is still under investigation."
Han Chengdao had many guesses in his mind, the most likely one being murder to silence the witness.
These spies must know something, which is why they were assassinated.
"This is the list of people to be purged this time. Please have a look, Your Majesty." Yan Cheng compiled a list. The identities of these people are spread across various industries in Beijing. They may have contacts. If the investigation continues, a large number of accomplices will definitely be caught.
Han Chengdao looked through all the names and noticed one of them, Uncle Wu Dong.
"Check everyone who has contact with this person." He pointed at the name.
Yan Cheng wrote down the name and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Han Chengdao tapped his fingers on Uncle Wu Dong's name.
This person had previously had contact with ministers in the court and seemed to be responsible for providing food to the palace.
If all their food supplies were in the hands of spies, there would be endless trouble.
This matter involves too many deep issues, and it will definitely take a lot of manpower and resources to investigate it.
Han Chengdao had a terrible headache.
When Yan Mi came in, he saw Han Chengdao rubbing his forehead, looking very distressed.
"Your Majesty, is there anything bothering you again?" Yan Mi walked to his side, placed both hands on Han Chengdao's forehead, and gently massaged his solar plexus.
"Nothing." Han Chengdao said, "Why did you suddenly come to see me?"
"I'm here to serve lunch to the emperor." Yan Mi clapped his hands and asked the servants to bring in lunch.
