Prime Minister's Mansion.

forecourt.

After Hu Fei walked into the mansion, he immediately saw Hu Weiyong standing at the door of the study. He then dismissed everyone and went straight to the door of the study.

"What's the matter with calling me back in such a hurry?"

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong and asked slowly.

"Are they the people that King Yan left with you?"

Hu Weiyong looked at the thirteen golden knights not far away and asked hesitantly.

"yes."

Hu Fei nodded and responded casually.

"follow me."

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, then turned and entered the study as he spoke, his expression slightly solemn.

Hu Fei said nothing and followed Hu Weiyong into the study and sat on a chair nearby.

"Do you know King Yan's intention for doing this?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and asked seriously.

"You can roughly guess it."

Hu Fei nodded and said casually.

"Then how are you going to deal with it?"

Hu Weiyong then asked.

"How can I deal with it? Since I have been kind enough to arrange so many carefully selected guards for me, I naturally have to make good use of them."

Hu Fei smiled and said nonchalantly.

"You can still laugh? Don't you know that King Yan deliberately placed himself next to you? I'm afraid your every move from now on will not escape King Yan's control."

Hu Weiyong frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Then what else can I do? If I refuse, King Yan will definitely be dissatisfied and may even regard me as an enemy. I can't be an enemy of a prince, right?"

"So I had no choice but to accept it."

Hu Fei smiled and said lightly.

"you..."

Seeing Hu Fei's nonchalant look, Hu Weiyong felt angry, but speechless because he knew what his son said made sense.

"Don't worry, I know it myself, nothing will happen to me."

"These people are just spies. They can't be the ones who stay and prepare to kill me at any time, right?"

Hu Fei saw the worry and dissatisfaction between Hu Weiyong's eyebrows, put away his smile, and became serious.

"Even if it doesn't happen now, I'm afraid it will threaten your life in the future."

Hu Weiyong said seriously.

"Who can know what will happen in the future? Besides, I'm not someone I can kill if I want, right?"

"With Xiao An here, no one should be able to kill me easily, right?"

Hu Fei shook his head and asked with a relaxed expression.

After listening to his son's words, Hu Weiyong hesitated and felt relieved.

What the son said was right. With Xiao An protecting him secretly, ordinary people could not harm his son's life.

"Even so, you must be more careful in your future actions. Don't let King Yan catch you, let alone let Jin Qi know too much about your relationship with the prince."

Hu Weiyong sat on a chair beside him, looked at his son, and said seriously.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Hu Fei nodded and said affirmatively.

"That's good."

"Although King Yan has left the capital, it does not mean that he is beyond his reach. In addition to Jinqi, there are also people in Prince Yan's Mansion and even in the court who are loyal to him. You'd better be more careful."

Hu Weiyong breathed a sigh of relief and said hesitantly.

"I know."

Hu Fei nodded and said lightly.

Based on his understanding of Zhu Di, Zhu Di would never give in easily in the fight for imperial power.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Di had already had the intention of seizing the legitimate son at such an early stage.

After the father and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, Hu Fei said goodbye to his father and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Hu Weiyong's concern warmed his heart, but what he didn't know was that besides Hu Weiyong, there were others who were afraid of Jin Qi.

...

East Palace.

In the main hall.

Xiao Qi walked in quickly and bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we have just found out the news that before leaving the capital, His Highness King Yan left thirteen golden knights to the Marquis of Jiu'an as his personal bodyguards."

Xiao Qi cupped his hands and said respectfully.

After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became serious.

"Is the news true?!"

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Qi and asked in a deep voice, his brows already frowning unconsciously.

"My subordinates have sent people to verify. It is absolutely true. There are thirteen people in total. The leader is Ye Qing."

Xiao Qi cupped his hands and answered immediately.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's face became more solemn, he slowly stood up and began to pace back and forth.

"It seems that my fourth brother is still determined not to give up. Although he has left Beijing, he has kept a back-up by Hu Fei's side. It seems that he still refuses to give up on Hu Fei."

"I just don't know if Hu Fei understands his intention at this time."

Zhu Biao said thoughtfully while pacing.

"With Marquis Jiu'an's intelligence, perhaps he should have guessed His Highness King Yan's intention, but he just can't refuse."

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"maybe."

"Jin Qi was selected by the emperor from among the palace guards. Everyone was selected from a hundred because he was worried that Bei Yuan would murder his fourth brother again."

"There are only about sixty people in total, but he actually left thirteen people with Hu Fei all at once. What a generous act!"

Zhu Biao put his hands behind his back and said thoughtfully.

"Go to the princess's mansion and tell Hu Fei the origin of Jin Qi so that he can take care of himself."

After Zhu Biao paused, he continued.

"yes."

Xiao Qi agreed, slowly exited the main hall, and immediately left the palace to go to the princess mansion.

...

Princess Mansion.

After Hu Fei left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went to Hanlinxuan and Huifeng Bank for a tour, and then led everyone back to the Princess Mansion, as if he intended to lead the Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards through the streets.

When he returned to the princess mansion, he met Xiao Qi who had been waiting outside the mansion.

Seeing Hu Fei returning home, Xiao Qi immediately greeted him.

"I've met Marquis Jiu'an."

Xiao Qi came closer and bowed respectfully.

"Commander Xiao, why are you here?"

"Now that you're here, why don't you go in and wait instead of standing outside?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Qi and asked curiously.

"The general is just here to deliver a message for His Highness the Crown Prince. It is inconvenient to disturb Her Highness the Princess."

Xiao Qi cupped his hands and answered slowly.

"Then tell me, what message did His Highness the Crown Prince ask you to preach?"
