After dawn, the corpses in the alley had been cleaned up, without even a trace of blood left. People who got up early passing by could no longer see anything unusual.

But it was impossible that no one heard the fierce fighting. It was just that ordinary people were afraid of getting into trouble, so no one dared to speak out.

The courtiers were not surprised that Feng Guanlan did not appear in the morning court. He had a special position and it was common for him to be absent from the morning court. Everyone was just guessing in their minds as to which unlucky guy had fallen into his clutches last night.

Speaking of which, in recent months, those people who pretend to be chivalrous and righteous and fight violence have become more and more rampant. From time to time, officials are kidnapped or killed at home.

Because the targets of those people's attacks were indeed dirty, family members did not dare to publicize the incident, or the superiors were afraid of being implicated and did not allow them to go to the Yamen to report the matter, so they could only find any excuse to excuse them. .

A few days ago, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites disappeared inexplicably for two days.

Just when everyone thought he was in danger, he came back inexplicably and said that he was thrown into a mass grave in a sack and almost eaten by wild dogs.

Since then, officials have become even more panic-stricken and began to raise more domestic slaves and thugs to ensure their own safety. The higher the official position, the more thugs they raise. Those with lower official positions can only keep more vicious dogs at home to prevent nighttime attacks. A gangster broke into the house and committed murder.

In such an environment, many people no longer care about government affairs. They just save what they can in the morning and don't bother to speak out if there is no important matter.

The emperor hated going to the morning court. He indulged too much the night before and did not get a good rest. He leaned on the dragon chair and fell asleep. He wished that the morning court would be over quickly so that he could go back and sleep with the beauty in his arms.

He Yunjie was still thinking about Feng Guanlan being rescued, and he had no time to listen to the courtiers recounting the innocuous things. When He Pingchuan saw this, he signaled with his eyes to the eunuch who was approaching the court to announce his resignation.

The eunuch cleared his throat and was about to speak when a guard suddenly came to report outside the door, saying that King Jingnan could not bear the severe cold weather in the capital and was infected with the wind chill. He had seen several doctors outside but had no effect. Please allow the emperor to grant permission to Jingnan. The princess returned to the palace to treat him.

Chu Xuan was so sleepy that he regained his energy when he heard Princess Jingnan's name. He didn't understand what the guard said at all, so he waved his hand and said: "That's right."

The courtiers did not take this matter to heart. King Jingnan was the husband of Princess Jingnan. When her husband was sick, it was right for the wife to go back and visit her.

He Yunjie didn't think so. King Jingnan was strong and strong, how could he catch wind and cold after a snowfall?

Even if I catch the wind and cold, there are so many doctors in the city, but none of them are useful. Why do I have to go to the morning court with great fanfare to ask the emperor for instructions to let Princess Jingnan leave the palace?

I'm afraid it's not as simple as Fenghan.

He Yunjie thought for a moment and soon thought of a possibility. Could it be that Feng Guanlan was rescued by King Jingnan?

The assassins he sent last night were all top-notch masters, and there were a large number of them. In that case, how many of them could rescue Feng Guanlan without anyone noticing?

But if it was really King Jingnan, his troops were all outside the city. It would be impossible for him and his few followers to rescue Feng Guanlan from so many assassins.

Could it be that his troops had already secretly entered the city?

Thinking of this possibility, He Yunjie immediately asked the emperor for instructions: "There is not much peace outside the palace now. I would like to escort Princess Jingnan out of the palace and express my condolences to King Jingnan on behalf of your majesty to show that the court values ​​​​Jingnan. Please, your majesty Yes."

"What did you say?" Chu Xuan then heard that Princess Jingnan was leaving the palace. He regretted that he had agreed too quickly. He couldn't take it back now, so he could only nod and said, "Go, go, early." Bring the person back to me...bring it back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's illness cannot be separated from her."

The courtiers secretly rolled their eyes.

Their Majesty is really keen on seizing his wife. A few years ago, Prince Yunyang, who was far away in Jinzhou, brought his wife back to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. His Majesty coveted his wife's beauty and forcibly kept her in the palace to become Yunfei. .

The prince of Yunyang County was so humiliated that he fell ill after returning to his fiefdom and passed away not long after.

After hearing the bad news, Concubine Yun was devastated. She was depressed all day long and looked haggard. She soon lost her favor and was forgotten by the emperor in the Golden Bird Palace that was carefully built for her.

Now, this passionate and ruthless Majesty has set his sights on Princess Jingnan again. However, Prince Jingnan and Princess Jingnan are obviously not as easy to control as Yunyang County Prince and his wife. If this matter breaks out, it will be very difficult. end.

But having said that, it’s okay for His Majesty to covet Princess Jingnan. Why is Xiao Ge always involved in it?

Could it be that he wanted to get Princess Jingnan for His Majesty so that His Majesty could indulge in beauty so that the He family could better control the court?

Ugh!

The emperor is ignorant and his traitorous ministers are harming the country. I am afraid that the Yan Dynasty will not last long.

……

In the Taiyuan Hospital, Chu Zhao had just come over after breakfast and before he started doing anything, He Yunjie came over. After briefly explaining his purpose, he asked Chu Zhao to leave for Jingnan Prince's Mansion immediately.

Chu Zhao was secretly worried. If Murong Xiao just had a cold, there was no need to make such a big fanfare for her to return home. Could something else have happened?

Could it be that Feng Guanlan was really assassinated?

She had previously guessed that He Yunjie might be harmful to Feng Guanlan, so she sent a letter to Murong Xiao and asked him to secretly protect Feng Guanlan.

But she was just guessing and was not sure that He Yunjie would definitely take action. At the moment, it seemed that He Yunjie had still taken action against Feng Guanlan?

The grandson!

As Chu Zhao's thoughts turned around, he looked at He Yunjie with a smile: "It's not a big deal. How dare you bother the boss of the small pavilion? Why don't you let Eunuch Feng accompany me back?"

He Yunjie looked at her and said calmly: "Eunuch Feng was absent from today's morning court. No one knows where he went. Is it possible that the princess knows?"

"Ah, is that so?" Chu Zhao said in surprise, "I just said casually, I can't even get out of the palace gate, how can I know where he is?"

He Yunjie looked at her expression and was not sure whether she was lying. After a while, he said: "In that case, the princess should not worry about him anymore. It is better for me to send the princess back!"

Chu Zhao was noncommittal and just asked him with a smile: "Don't you have anything else to do, Mr. Xiaoge? You keep hanging around me. If you continue like this, I will really think that you are in love with me."

He Yunjie's heart skipped a beat, but he was not as panicked as when he was teased by her before. Instead, his face was calm and he replied calmly: "The princess is beautiful and has outstanding talents. Isn't it normal to be loved by others? ?”

"..." Chu Zhao was very surprised by his answer. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pinched his chin, and asked with a playful look in his eyes: "So, Xiaoge always really admires me? "
