Gu Lanyue also understood this, so she obediently returned to the inn.
Su Liuer in Longcheng is busy developing new business, while Zhu Yunxi, who hurried back to Guangling City, is in dire straits.
Guangling City has been in turmoil recently, literally. There have been several assassination attempts on officials, and the assassins have not been caught yet.
The reason why the prince hurriedly recalled Zhu Yunxi was also because of this matter.
Talking about the relationship between Zhu Yunxi and the prince, we have to start with an assassination incident. To make a long story short, Zhu Yunxi saved the prince at the last moment, and he was seriously injured and almost died, so the prince trusted him very much from the beginning.
Later, Zhu Yunxi's ability to get things done was greatly appreciated by the prince, who accomplished several important things for him. As a result, he became the prince's confidant within just two years.
The officials who were assassinated recently were all from the prince's lineage, and they were hidden and unknown to the public. Therefore, the prince urgently needed Zhu Yunxi to resolve the matter to stop the loss in time and find out the person behind the scenes.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi returned to Guangling City, the prince summoned him and had a detailed discussion with him.
But now it has been two days.
Zhu Yunxi still hadn't locked in on a candidate when someone jumped out to question him in front of the prince.
"Your Highness, Lord Zhu has always been quick and steady in his work. Why is it so difficult to catch an assassin this time?"
The prince was tall, with regular features. He looked quite similar to the emperor and could be described as a modest and elegant gentleman. He was currently sitting in the upper seat, listening to the people below speak.
He propped his chin on one hand and asked with amusement, "Are you saying that Yunxi is deliberately dragging his feet and not catching the assassin? Why don't you just say he is the assassin?"
There were two people below, and they looked at each other at the same time, both with heavy expressions.
But when he raised his head to speak to the prince, he put on a fearful smile and hurriedly explained:
"Of course not. Lord Zhu is loyal to His Highness and would never betray him. We are just a little suspicious. Lord Zhu was not in the city at all in the past few days, so the assassination naturally has nothing to do with him."
Another person followed suit:
"Yes, yes. Lord Zhu hurried to Longcheng a few days ago. I guess the Crown Prince had important matters to attend to, so he was too busy to attend to them. Perhaps he was tired, so he hasn't found the assassin yet. I believe that in one day or two at most, Lord Zhu will be able to find the assassin and hand him over to Your Highness for disposal!"
There was a subtle change in the expression of the crown prince, but it was not obvious, and only those who were familiar with his temperament could see it.
"Yunxi has never disappointed me before, and this time, she won't disappoint me either."
The two people below said in unison: "Your Highness is wise!"
-
Although Zhu Yunxi was a military officer, he was the prince's confidant, so he lived in the best area in Guangling City and was surrounded by powerful people.
After returning from Shanghe County, his health showed no further abnormalities.
Chu Lingfeng found it boring, so he planned to leave.
As a result, as soon as he got on the carriage, Mo Zifan hurriedly pulled him down.
"Slow down, slow down!" Twelve on the side couldn't help but shout anxiously.
Chu Lingfeng was weak and usually walked slowly. Now that Mo Zifan was dragging him along, he walked very fast. His face had already started to turn red and his breathing had become unstable.
Twelve shouted but didn't listen, so he stepped forward and grabbed Mo Zifan. Mo Zifan then apologized, "I'm sorry, Master Chu, I was too anxious!"
Although he apologized, Mo Zifan still pulled Chu Lingfeng aside and walked quickly, which made his master vomit blood!
