In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Muyun quickly crossed the threshold and went straight to the study.
"Sir!" said the boy guarding outside the study.
"Well, I have official business to deal with. I don't need to wait here. You can go down first."
"yes."
After watching the boy leave with his own eyes, Su Muyun opened the door and entered.
As soon as the door closed, a dark shadow flashed across the room, and there was another person in the room: "I have seen the young master!"
Su Muyun looked at the person in front of him, nodded and said gently: "I've been here for a long time, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zeng."
"If you work for the young master, your subordinates will die without mercy!" Zeng Yu said.
"Uncle Zeng, I have something to trouble you now."
"Young Master, please speak!"
"You immediately take people outside the city to inquire about the whereabouts of the eldest princess, and report back immediately if you have any information."
Hearing this, Zeng Yu raised his head and glanced at Su Muyun with doubts. In the end, he accepted the order and left without saying anything.
On the official road, there was the sound of hoofbeats and dust was flying everywhere. Suddenly the man in the lead pulled the reins with a "whisper" and the whole team stopped.
Looking at the corpse-strewn official road in front of him, Chu Ci raised his legs and jumped off the horse. He walked to a corpse wearing military armor and squatted down. He stretched out his hand to explore its neck, then withdrew his hand and said: "Search! Definitely. We need to find the princess!"
"yes!"
After giving the order, everyone went in twos and threes and went in different directions.
In a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, Yu Wenyi was leaning on a chair, listening to Yun Yan's report, with a sinister look on his lips: "Are you saying that Yu Wenyun jumped off a cliff to save a man?"
"Yes, Master, the cliff is bottomless, and her shoulder blades were pierced by her brothers at that time, and she was seriously injured. No matter how high her martial arts skills were, she would never have survived." Yun Yan lowered his head and reported back.
"It's true that you can be romantic even if you die under the peonies. This prince, this royal sister, will have a romantic life until her death. Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, the counselors and Yun Yan present burst into laughter.
After laughing enough, Yun Yan saw Yu Wenyi's happy face and said after a moment's consideration: "Master, in addition to assassinating the eldest princess, I also have a big gift for my master."
"Oh? What is it?" Yu Wenyi asked curiously.
Yun Yan glanced at Yu Wenyi and deliberately said, "Master, Mr. Wu, please move away."
"Forget it, I will go and see for myself what kind of medicine you are selling in this gourd!" Yu Wenyi stood up from his chair as he spoke.
The three of them went straight to the northernmost wing of the backyard. Two maids stood at the door. When they saw the three of them approaching, they were about to salute when they were stopped by Yun Yan with a gesture.
The window of the wing room was half open, and Yun Yan silently pointed in, gesturing for the two of them to look inside.
Looking through the window, he saw a woman wrapped under the messy quilt. The woman was sitting with her knees crossed, her hair disheveled, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Yu Wenyi frowned and looked at Yun Yan with a displeased look. Just when he was about to explode, Yun Yan took him away from the window first. It wasn't until he left the yard that Yun Yan hurriedly explained: "Master, don't be upset, just now The woman the master saw was Tong Ying, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qing’s family!”
Hearing this, Yu Wenyi's frown deepened: "People from Qingguo Duke's Mansion, why did you bring her back!"
"Master, please listen to what I have to say. If it were normal, due to the relationship between the Duke of Qing and Prince Yu, I would not dare to bring him back.
But this time it was different. When I found her in the back of Hanshan Temple, she was being insulted by two rough guys. It was Xiao who saved her.
Master, think about it, if the people in the city know that the legitimate daughter of the dignified Duke's Palace has lost her innocence, Duke Qing will definitely be severely damaged. Without the support of the Duke's Palace, what will Prince Yu have to do to compete with his master! "
After hearing what Yun Yan said, Yu Wenyi suddenly understood. He patted Yun Yan on the shoulder and said, "Yun Yan, you have done this beautifully, and I will reward you heavily!"
"Thank you, Master!" Yun Yan was overjoyed.
"Master," Wu Yusheng, who had not spoken yet, said, "In my opinion, instead of destroying the Duke of Qing's palace, it is better to turn enemies into friends."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"The defense at Prince Yu's Mansion is very tight. We have tried to send people in several times, but we have failed. Now is a God-given opportunity. If Tong Yong can be allowed to abandon the secret and secretly deliver the news to the master, why will the master not succeed in his great cause?" Wu Yusheng stroked his beard. , have a confident mind.
"Sir, this plan is very clever. Okay, let's do as you say! Yun Yan, please go down and take good care of Miss Tong. Don't neglect it."
"Master, don't worry, I understand!"
At the same time, at the top of the cliff, Chu Ci ordered someone to find a thick rope and tie one end to his waist, and the other end was held in the hands of the imperial guards. After making sure that the rope was tied firmly, Chu Ci grabbed the rope and climbed down the rock little by little.
"put!"
"put!"
"Put it back!"
Every time Chu Ci said this, the imperial guard would extend the rope a little longer. When the rope reached the end and there was no more room to put, Chu Ci would shake the rope and signal the imperial guard to pull him up.
When he returned to the top of the cliff, a guard asked: "Guard Chu, how are you doing? Have you found anything?"
Chu Ci said with a low expression: "The bottom of the cliff is too deep. You can't get down from here. You divide into two teams and take a detour to find people at the bottom of the cliff. I will return to the city immediately to report to the Emperor Ming and request for reinforcements!"
"yes!"
As soon as the imperial guards left, a dozen men in black came to the top of the cliff. The leading man stood on the top of the cliff and looked down, then turned around, waved his hand, and in a flash, everyone disappeared.
In the Princess Mansion, Heng Wu and Bai Zhi had been waiting in Fengyang Pavilion since Chu Ci took the people away. At this time, they saw Chu Ci coming back alone, and they hurriedly asked about the situation.
"How's it going? Is there any news?" Bai Zhi said.
Seeing Chu Ci's dark complexion, Heng Wu's heart trembled and he asked, "Did something happen?"
"The body of the imperial guard was found on the official road a hundred meters away from Xishan. There were traces of fighting and a lot of dried blood on the top of the cliff next to it. The whereabouts of the master are unknown!" Chu Ci said.
"What! What can we do!" Bai Zhi was so frightened that her face turned pale when she heard that Ye Yun's whereabouts were unknown.
"Enter the palace to meet the saint and send more manpower!" Chu Ci said.
"I'll go!" After saying that, Heng Wu turned around and left Fengyang Pavilion.
"drive!"
"Drive! Call!"
Heng Wu rode all the way to the palace gate, then let go of the reins and got off the horse. She walked straight into the palace gate. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the imperial army as soon as she arrived at the gate: "Who broke into the palace gate at night, take it!"
In an instant, Heng Wu was surrounded by the forbidden army. Seeing this, Heng Wu did not panic. She took out the princess palace token and said: "I am the eldest princess's personal maid, Heng Wu. I have something to ask you to see the emperor. Please tell me!"
"How dare you, a little maid, what qualifications do you have to meet the emperor? Come and put her in prison!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Heng Wu's arms were instantly held back.
"How presumptuous!" Heng Wu said angrily: "You have delayed the eldest princess's business, how many heads do you have to chop off!"
During the commotion, a person walked out. He looked at the noisy scene and said angrily: "What happened!"
"I've met the commander-in-chief!"
"Well, who is she?" Shen Kuo hummed slightly and looked at Heng Wu and asked.
"Back to the commander-in-chief, this person claims to be the eldest princess's maid, and she wants to meet the emperor, but the emperor can meet anyone he wants, so my subordinates ordered people to capture her."
