Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

Fengyu built the Forget-Sorrow Pavilion and walked on the thick snow towards the sparsely populated area.

Tian Qu followed behind him and said hesitantly: "Master, the man who caused trouble just now seems to be the only son of County Magistrate Chen...Do you need me to help..."

Feng Yuqi raised his hand to interrupt, "Who was the mastermind behind the assassination last night?"

Tian Qu shuddered and said, "My Lord, the investigation has revealed that it was Madam who did it."

Feng Yuqi stood still, turned around suddenly, his eyes cold.

Tian Qu lowered his head to avoid his sight, knelt on one knee and said sadly: "Madam must have spent a lot of money this time, and most of them were hired by Jianghu assassins. We also lost most of our people last night!"

As his voice stopped, the air suddenly became quiet and cold.

After a while, Feng Yuqi reached out and lifted it up.

Tianqu stood up and raised his eyes cautiously to take a look. Feng Yuqi turned around again, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The "crunching" sound of stepping on the snow was extremely loud, as if every sound was pressing on Tian Qu's heart.

Tianqu has been following Feng Yuqi since he was young and is six years older than Feng Yuqi.

Tianqu and his younger brother Tianxun's grandfather is the chief steward in the mansion of the second prince Feng Zihao.

When Feng Yuqi was a child, he treated Tianqu like an older brother and took him with him wherever he went.

Until Feng Yuqi was abandoned by his father, the second prince Feng Zihao, when he was nine years old, and his personality changed drastically since then.

Five months ago, after years of searching, they finally found Feng Zihao's trace.

In mid-autumn, Feng Yuqi led them to leave Fenglan capital and came to the border on the pretext of going to Yougu Pass to investigate Yun Sheng's sudden military expedition.

Four months ago, Feng Yuqi injured himself and pretended to be unconscious. He was picked up by the stupid Ye Ziqing and got close to Feng Zihao.

Five days later, Feng Zihao seemed to have realized something and insisted on driving Feng Yuqi away and moving his entire family.

In order to stay, the master planned an assassination. His original intention was to stay with Feng Zihao on the grounds of meritorious service in the rescue. However, he never expected that the lady had bribed their people and used the master's hand to kill Lu Qingxi and her daughter.

Tian Qu originally thought that his master hated Master Feng Zihao very much, but that group of people almost hurt the master, and he witnessed the tremendous anger in his master's eyes.

He was extremely grateful that Ye Ziqing blocked the sword that almost destroyed his right arm for his master, otherwise he couldn't imagine what kind of terrible storm his master would cause with his current temper.

Although he couldn't understand why his master had wasted more than four months, he felt extremely sad when he thought that his master probably didn't understand it himself.

It has been so difficult for the master over the years!

The assassins last night were the third wave of assassins sent by Madam April.

The master has to face his mother's pressure, but he can't bear to leave his father...

Water was sliding down his face, and Tian Qu reached out and quickly wiped it away.

When I looked up, I realized that the heavy snow had turned into drizzle without me noticing.

Tian Qu was just about to ask Feng Yuqi to take shelter under the eaves when he heard Feng Yuqi speak.

"You count the people and kill the mother and daughter tonight. We will set out for Yougu Pass tomorrow."

Tian Qu's feet staggered and he was so shocked that he almost fell down.

They lost most of their men to protect Lu Qingxi and her daughter, but now they want to kill them themselves. What is the master doing?

Leaning towards the lady?

I dare not ask.

Suppressing his confusion, Tian Qu asked hesitantly, "Master...what about that little girl? Should we get rid of her as well?"

Thinking that they were about to leave, he added without waiting for Feng Yuqi's reply:

"When the master went to Yougu Pass, I found out that someone was following and monitoring the courtyard where Ye Ziqing and the others lived. They even found out our whereabouts later..."

"Why are you reporting it now?" Feng Yuqi's heart tightened and he interrupted harshly.

Tian Qu bowed his head again.

He wanted to report it earlier, but his master had been worried since he returned from Yougu Pass at noon, and every time he opened his mouth to report the matter, his master changed the subject.

After hearing about the assassination last night, his master urged him to find out the mastermind behind it as soon as possible.

Tian Qu silently groaned in his heart, and knelt down again and said honestly: "I have failed in my duty! Please punish me, Master."

He stole a glance and saw that his master's face was as cold as the rain falling from the sky, so he hurried to save himself.

"The person who was following us has been killed. We wanted to capture him alive, but he committed suicide. Judging from his method and characteristics, he must be a dead man."

"Get up!"

Feng Yuqi was relieved, "Are you sure this person was after Ye Ziqing and tracked you down?"

"Yes. If he hadn't been unaware of us at first and had no ill intentions towards Miss Ye and the others, we wouldn't have let him take advantage of us."

Is the leaf sunny?

Dead soldier?

What is your intention?

Feng Yuqi silently recited.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he stopped and said sharply, "Go check the man in white who appeared in Wangyou Pavilion today. Is he the shopkeeper or the boss?"

"Yes."

Tian Qu accepted the order verbally, but he stood there without moving.

Feng Yuqi glanced at him, and he leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Then shall we do it tonight?"

"The fish hasn't taken the bait yet, so keep the bait for now." Feng Yuqi replied in a deep voice.

The person sent to follow has not returned yet, and the other party has not taken any action. He is either waiting or has followed again!

"Withdraw our people and give orders not to stop any more assassins who come. Send a few more people to follow Ye Ziqing."

......

In the Forget-Sorrow Pavilion, the tea waiter was walking around carrying a teapot.

"Sir, it's her. Her name is Ye Ziqing. She lives in a remote courtyard in the west of the city. She has parents and a younger sister at home."

"There should be another young man with them."

"Strangely, Chi Ying didn't find any trace of this man after following him for a few days. But he found that there was another group of people following and monitoring Miss Ye and the others."

Shopkeeper Dong stood respectfully beside the table and leaned over to report to Su Changfeng one by one.

Five years ago, he was the owner of a small teahouse in Haiyue City. Suddenly, he was entrusted with an important task by a handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. He became the owner of the newly opened "Wangyou Pavilion" teahouse in the city.

The young master was very generous and had great trust in him, and never interfered too much in the management of the pavilion.

The only requirement is that every year the cabinet must hire a woman of a specified age with almond-shaped eyes to play the zither at a high price, and that the woman must be treated with courtesy and strictly protected.

If you come across a woman who matches the situation and has excellent piano skills, you should inform the contact person Chi Ying in time, and the young master will come to check it out in person.

This is the third time the young master has come to check in the past five years.

Because of the previous two experiences, he had cooperated with Chi Ying before, and knew that the young master was looking for someone, so he assisted Chi Ying in investigating the family background of the woman playing the piano.

"A few days ago, Chi Ying said he wanted to go check it out again, but he hasn't come back yet..."

Shopkeeper Dong was explaining something when the piano music in the pavilion stopped. Su Changfeng raised his hand to interrupt, "Go get an umbrella, ahem—"

After a coughing fit, he took the umbrella handed to him by Shopkeeper Dong, stood up, nodded to Shopkeeper Dong, and quickly walked out of the elegant room.

Ruoying, who was guarding outside the door, quickly followed. Su Changfeng raised his hand to stop him. "Just now, Manager Dong said that the troublemaker was the son of County Magistrate Chen. Why don't you go to the prefect's mansion and don't cause any more trouble?"
