Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

The night is as cool as water and everything is silent.

He Yuan stood in the yard, his face as gloomy as water.

Several Silver City Death Guards knelt respectfully in front of him.

"My Lord, we have searched the entire Silver City, but have not found any trace of Qi Yunzhi or Aunt Cui."

Gongsun Yunfeng asked: "Have the people in the city been searched?"

The leading guard replied respectfully: "We have followed Madam's instructions and have searched all the residents in the city on the pretext of checking for newborns. If there is any smell of outsiders, we will be able to find it immediately."

"Could it be that she has already fled Silver City?"

Gongsun Yunfeng muttered to himself, and then asked: "Are there any signs of damage to the formation in the misty forest?"

"Madam, no."

Gongsun Yunfeng could not help but pull He Yuan's sleeve and said anxiously: "My husband, what should we do? If Qi Yunzhi has been lurking in the city for so many years, he must have evil intentions and other plans. Moreover, this martial art also has great drawbacks. It hurts others and ourselves. What should we do?"

"Yincheng is not that big. Since we can't find anyone, it means Qi Yunzhi has left. She secretly learned forbidden techniques, and I'm afraid she wants to deal with Qingge. Yunfeng, take care of the people of Yincheng, and I'll go to Zifu to check."

He Yuan raised his foot to leave, but was stopped by Gongsun Yunfeng.

"My dear husband, wait a minute. Miss Qi and Sister Mei have a deep sisterly bond. Why would she want to kill her? Is there another misunderstanding?"

"I don't know about this either. I'll ask for clarification this time."

Gongsun Yunfeng said softly, "Then I will go with my husband. There are several elders and Zang Feng in Yincheng, so nothing will happen. My husband is not good at speaking, so I may be able to help my husband and Sister Mei."

"No need to trouble Madam. This is a matter between Qingge and me. We should handle it ourselves. Qingge has a strong temper. She is angry now and I am afraid she will not say anything nice."

Gongsun Yunfeng smiled gently and said, "Sister Mei would never say bad things to me. A husband does not understand a woman's mind. Especially at times like this, someone should enlighten her so that she can see clearly what is in her heart."

He Yuan believes in Gongsun Yunfeng's ability, but he doesn't want outsiders to interfere in his relationship with Mei Qingge.

"No need, I'll be back soon."

Before he finished speaking, the man disappeared into the silent night.

Watching him go away, Gongsun Yunfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said to the death guards: "Send two more teams tonight to ensure the safety of the people in the city."

"Yes."

The guard bowed and took his leave. Gongsun Yunfeng sighed slightly and slowly walked into the stable.

A lame horseman came out and asked with his head down: "Madam, do you want to ride a horse?"

Gongsun Yunfeng said calmly, "Bring one out, it's good to go for a walk."

"Yes."

The groom respectfully led out the horse, then squatted down and let Gongsun Yunfeng step on his back to mount the horse.

The disgust in Gongsun Yunfeng's eyes flashed away, and he turned over and jumped onto the horse's back, and his voice became a little duller in an instant.

"That's not necessary. Let's go."

"Yes."

The horseman got up from the ground and took the reins.

"Ma'am, where do you want to go?"

"You can just treat it as a city tour and walk around casually."

Gongsun Yunfeng looked at the dark sky and suddenly asked, "How long have you been in Yincheng?"

The stable boy glanced secretly at Gongsun Yunfeng.

"It has been twenty-one years."

Gongsun Yunfeng snorted.

“Time flies by so fast.”

As he spoke, Ma had already crossed the threshold.

"Mom, it's so late, what are you doing?"

He Zangfeng walked out of the inner courtyard, his long green robe making him look tall and straight, like a jade tree.

The groom immediately turned his head, swept his eyes across He Zangfeng's face, and then quickly lowered his eyes.

"I've met the eldest young master!"
