After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The closed doors and windows made the smell of ambergris in the royal study become clearer.

Emperor Xiao was sitting behind the dragon case, his expression dark and unclear.

"How is it?"

"Your Majesty, people have been sent out." Eunuch Zheng lowered his head and answered.

"To make sure everything is safe, you must get something." Emperor Xiao said in a gloomy tone.

At the beginning, if it wasn't for the sake of letting that old man Jiang Ji feel at ease and be able to use it steadily, he would not have written those things himself. He guessed that the other party would probably leave it as evidence, but no matter how much he searched for it, he never found it.

Although he thought that the evidence would be taken away by Jiang Ji, luckily he still kept a secret and never gave up monitoring the Jiang family's old residence and other courtyards for so many years.

I didn't expect that...

He actually made him wait for the fish that slipped through the net to return to the Jiang family!

"Your Majesty, the person who secretly helped Jiang Zhou has not yet been identified." Eunuch Zheng looked at Emperor Xiao and said, "If the person behind it still doesn't show up this time, then..."

He didn't finish his words, his meaning was very obvious, he was asking Emperor Xiao to make a decision.

During this period, although it was known that someone was secretly contacting Jiang Zhou, that person was very cautious. When meeting Jiang Zhou, there were always people around him, and their people could not get close.

"Then use the contents of Jiang Zhou's hand as bait to fish out the man." Emperor Xiao looked gloomy.

It has been so many years, and now there are still people who want to revive the old events. No matter who is behind the scenes, they can't succeed!

The secret man arranged by Xiao Jingfeng has threatened him for so many years. Over the years, he has always had a sharp knife hanging in his heart. Now even if he can't find out who the secret man is for a while, he will never let others interfere with this matter.

"Your Majesty, where is Jiang Zhou..." Eunuch Zheng asked Emperor Xiao.

"Kill." Emperor Xiao said without hesitation.

"Yes." Eunuch Zheng responded with his eyes retracted.

Emperor Xiao's eyes moved to Eunuch Zheng, "You have been with me for so many years, and you know almost everything. So you should know that the incident back then must not be brought to light."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It has been so many years since the incident, and nothing will go wrong." Eunuch Zheng lowered his head and spoke.

Emperor Xiao looked at him like this and suddenly sneered, "Surely nothing will go wrong? Didn't you forget that there is Xiao Jinzhi!"

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is now your son. He didn't know about what happened back then, so he shouldn't..."

Emperor Xiao waved his hand and interrupted Eunuch Zheng.

"Having said that, whenever I see Xiao Jinzhi, I feel uneasy. Especially in the past two years, his appearance has become more and more like Xiao Jingfeng and Mei Fei..."

Emperor Xiao paused for a moment, and the past scene appeared in his mind again. When he came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly became sharper, "Tell me, is it possible that the person behind the contact with Jiang Zhou this time is Xiao Jinzhi?" ?”

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Eunuch Zheng was startled. After thinking for a while, the expression on his face became calmer. "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has gone to Cuiheng Mountain to suppress bandits. It shouldn't be him, right? And if it's the Crown Prince, How did he get the word from His Highness?"

Emperor Xiao narrowed his eyes. This makes sense, but looking at the entire imperial city, there are still things involved in the past. Apart from the secret man who has been hiding for many years, the only one left is Xiao Jin. That’s it.

No matter whether this incident had anything to do with the other party or not, Xiao Jinzhi could not continue to let it go. Nowadays, the power in the court supporting the prince is getting stronger. If it continues like this, it will be difficult to suppress him in the future. Maybe the throne will really fall into Xiao Jinzhi's hands.

"Send someone to Cuiheng Mountain and secretly look for opportunities to take action."

"Your Majesty, do you mean... to get rid of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Eunuch Zheng lowered his voice to a very low voice.

Emperor Xiao shook his head, "Now is not a good time to kill him. Let the people sent find an opportunity to destroy Xiao Jinzhi. Just spare his life and let him return to the imperial city alive. Don't worry about anything else. Let's start. The heavier, the better.”

Eunuch Zheng immediately responded, "Yes, I understand, I will make arrangements now!"

……

On the other side, in the Ning'an Hou Mansion.

Chu Huanyan waited anxiously for the news, and saw that almost two hours had passed before the secret guard finally came back to report the news.

"Where is Jiang Zhouren?" Looking at the blood stains on the secret guard's body, Chu Huanyan looked ugly.

"Go back to Miss, he ran away and I don't know where he went for the time being."

Fortunately, the young lady responded in time. When they rushed over, the people sent to protect Jiang Zhou were already at a disadvantage as they were surrounded.

However, although they took action in time, there were many opponents and they were all good players. They tried their best to stop those people and gave Jiang Zhou a chance to escape. But other than that, they were really powerless. There was no way to worry about where Jiang Zhou had fled.

Hearing that Jiang Zhou was still alive, Chu Huanyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the evidence in Jiang Zhou's hands?"

"It should still be in his hands." After saying that, the secret guard knelt down to Chu Huanyan, "It's because of the incompetence of the subordinates."

"You have done a good job. At least Jiang Zhou is still alive." Chu Huanyan looked at the people in front of her, "What are your casualties?"

The secret guard gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while, then continued: "Five brothers died and dozens of people were injured."

However, those who intercepted and killed were not much better.

Chu Huanyan looked solemn and breathed out slowly, "Thank you for your hard work, go down and have a good rest first. As for the subsequent arrangements, I will let you know after I have thought about it."

After the secret guards retreated, Chu Huanyan walked to a chair nearby and sat down. She looked very tired.

"Miss..." Xian Yue looked at her lady worriedly.

"I'm fine." Chu Huanyan shook her head, "It's just that this time, I was negligent."

"Miss, how can I blame you? It has been so many years, and no one would have thought in advance that the residents around the Jiang Family Courtyard were actually the ones under surveillance. Besides, it's not you who asked Jiang Zhou to go there. Jiang Family Courtyard, didn't you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell him not to act rashly? It's because he didn't listen!" Xian Yue's tone was filled with eager comfort.

How could the young lady take this matter on herself? And if the young lady had not responded promptly, Jiang Zhou might have been dead by now.

"Having said that, Jiang Zhou's whereabouts are now exposed, and if Emperor Xiao really sent someone to take action, even if he doesn't know that it's us who contacted Jiang Zhou, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide it for long."

Chu Huanyan's eyes were solemn as she looked at the gloomy sky outside. She was afraid that the sky would really change in the coming days.

"We must find Jiang Zhou before he is silenced."

"But how should we find him?" Xian Yue said in distress, "I don't know where he has escaped, and our people have been injured. Even if we go to find someone, I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower."

Chu Huanyan thought for a while and took a deep breath, "We can only rely on the help of others."
