Queen Yan could not continue to embarrass her niece, so she turned to look at Princess Liyang and asked with some confusion, "Liyang, are you here to visit my niece?"
The eldest princess of Liyang was not an ordinary woman in the back house. From the look in Queen Yan's eyes, she understood that Queen Yan suspected that she was helping Xie Yu and siding with the Crown Prince and Concubine Yue.
She didn't want to get into trouble, so she said half-truthfully, "I heard that there is a girl living here in Qingqing. She has a very good appearance and temperament. Rui'er even praised her, so I wanted to meet her.
It’s better to make this engagement for Rui’er as soon as possible.”
Queen Yan didn't expect this answer. She frowned and looked at Yan Yuqing, and asked with some confusion, "Qingqing, where is that girl now? Can you bring her to me to see?"
Yan Yuqing was in a dilemma now. On one side was her aunt, and on the other was her brother-in-law's mother. She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Aunt, the third brother took that woman out to play. They went out yesterday.
, she hasn’t come back until now, it’s really not that I don’t want her to come out.”
Seeing what Yan Yuqing said, Princess Liyang took advantage of the situation and said, "Jing Rui, this kid has learned how to lie to me, a mother. Qingqing, where did the two of them go?"
Yan Yuqing opened his mouth and said helplessly, "Nan Chu, he said he wanted to go to Mount Lu to see the waterfall."
Princess Liyang's heart skipped a beat when she heard about Nan Chu. She understood that her son should have gone to meet his biological father. She had mixed feelings for a while, but she didn't ask any more questions.
When the queen heard the word "Nanchu", she couldn't help but look at Princess Liyang, but found that Princess Liyang's face changed slightly, which made her feel that there must be something going on that she didn't know about.

Zhengyang Palace
King Yu hurried to the palace. After seeing the queen, he hurriedly bowed and then asked excitedly, "Mother, have you seen Wang Yue?"
On New Year's Eve, a group of chamberlains who were giving a banquet were actually killed. This was simply unbelievable. Meng Zhi was beaten twenty times because of this and was required to find out the real culprit within three months.
King Yu didn't expect the assassin to be so powerful, so he was worried about Qin Banruo and Master Ji and wanted to ask what was going on.
Master Ji came very quickly. After all, he lived in the palace and was basically always available.
However, Qin Banruo did not come back. The people sent to invite him came back and told King Yu that Qin Banruo had gone back to his hometown to pay homage.
King Yu was a little surprised when he heard the news. He didn't know where Qin Banruo's hometown was, so he sent people to inquire around. Then at the ferry outside the city, he heard that Qin Banruo was heading west by boat.
And what surprised him was that those who went west that day were Wang Yue, leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, and Nihuang and his wife.
He was a very suspicious person, which made him a little uneasy.
His adviser was actually related to Princess Nihuang and the Jiangzuo Alliance, so he quickly went to the palace to ask the queen to go to Wang Yue's house to make sure whether Wang Yue and Yan Yuqing were at home.
To reassure.
Seeing that King Yu was anxious, the queen made a trip, and that's how she met Princess Liyang at Wang's house today.
The queen valued her adopted son very much, and even did not hesitate to quarrel with her brother Yan Que. Seeing that her son was anxious now, she said distressedly, "See, he and Qingqing welcomed me together, you, probably
Overthinking it, Qingqing and Wang Yue may have gone to see off Nihuang and Mei Changsu."
King Yu felt relieved when the Queen said that Wang Yue and Qingqing were at home. He said with some emotion, "Speaking of which, Qingqing is also my sister. It's not my fault that I doubt her so much."
Queen Yan sighed, not wanting to bring up this topic, so she changed the topic and said, "However, there is a strange thing today. Princess Liyang also went to Wang Yue's house."
As soon as King Yu heard about Princess Liyang, he thought of Xie Yu, who had a deep love for him and his wife. He unconsciously became vigilant again and asked anxiously, "Mother, could it be that Xie Yu asked my aunt to be a lobbyist?
"
Queen Yan thought for a moment and then said, "It doesn't look like it. Princess Liyang has never been involved in this. I did hear Qingqing say that Jingrui went to Lushan with a girl to play, and your aunt's face turned pale after hearing about Lushan.
Change, I don’t know what’s going on here.”
Prince Yu didn't take it to heart. He said nonchalantly, "Mother, I think my aunt is worried about Jingrui. After all, Lushan Mountain is the territory of Nanchu."
Queen Yan hesitated for a while and then said solemnly, "If this is really the case, there is no need to worry. After all, Wang Yue is the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance and has connections in Nanchu. He will not put Jingrui in danger."
After King Yu was reminded by Queen Yan, he said with some uncertainty, "Does it mean that my aunt thinks it is dangerous for Jingrui to go to Nanchu? But where does this danger come from?"
Queen Yan shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't know, maybe it happened that I went there and your aunt didn't say anything."
Prince Yu nodded, quickly showed a smile and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will send someone to check it out right now."
Queen Yan was very happy to see that King Yu was so concerned about her health. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, when your aunt was young, she had a love affair with King Sheng of Nanchu. I don't know what happened later.
Prince Sheng escaped from Jinling and returned to Southern Chu, and your aunt hastily married Xie Yu."
King Yu didn't expect that there was such an inside story. He connected these things and discovered a possibility. Could it be that there is some secret here?
He felt that he needed to investigate carefully.

Imperial Palace, Yangju Hall
After Xia Dong saluted, he asked expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, I wonder why Zhao Weichen is here?"
After Emperor Liang waited for Xia Dong to greet him, he frowned and said, "You are responsible for checking on the assassination of the chamberlain. I will give you a month."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Dong was stunned. Didn't Emperor Liang just give Meng Zhi three months to investigate the case? Why was she suddenly asked to investigate? She was a little unsure.
asked, "Your Majesty, isn't Commander Meng in charge of this matter?"
Emperor Liang shook his head and said helplessly, "Mengzhi also suffered a disaster this time. It's strange that his character can be found out. It's better for you to investigate this matter. I can feel more at ease."
Xia Dong didn't say anything more and quickly accepted the order and left.
…
Jinling, Wangfu
Yan Yuqing saw off the queen and Princess Liyang, then found Wang Yue and asked expectantly, "Husband, shall we go back to Fengdu?"
Seeing Yan Yuqing's expectant look, Wang Yue said helplessly, "If you want to go to Fengdu, I'll take you there. You just happen to be there to help me host it, and by the way, I'll entertain Qin Banruo and his party."
I want to go to Lushan Mountain."
Seeing Wang Yue's seriousness, Yan Yuqing didn't care about playing, and asked with some uncertainty, "Husband, is it possible that the third brother and the others are in danger?"
Wang Yue nodded and said helplessly, "I don't know, but I calculated that my third brother is in danger, but I don't know what the danger is, so I just went to have a look. When I'm done, I'll go to Fengdu to find you."
During the Chinese New Year, Yan Yuqing was taught a lesson by her mother, and she knew what to do as a wife, so she reluctantly said, "Then you have to go and come back quickly."
Wang Yue looked at Yan Yuqing's coquettish look and patted Yan Yuqing's little head lovingly, and then said, "You, just be yourself. You don't have to listen to your mother-in-law."
Seeing that Wang Yue had seen through it, Yan Yuqing said reluctantly, "My husband has wronged me. I have always been so virtuous and virtuous! I just can't let go of my husband, so I hope you will come back soon."
Wang Yue looked at Yan Yuqing's expression of "You have wronged me" and said angrily, "I just went to Lushan to show my face to let people know that I have gone. Third brother is not in danger. I may go to Fengdu at any time."
, others don’t know, don’t you still know?”
Yan Yuqing really forgot just now. After Wang Yue reminded her, she complained and said, "I hate it, can't you just pretend to be confused?"
…
Lushan
Xiao Jingrui and Yuwen Nian stayed in the mountains for a day. At night, they made a circle before preparing to take a detour to Chudu.
At the beginning, the two of them really avoided it, but as soon as they left Lushan and arrived in a small town, they were about to stay in a hotel and take a rest, but they suddenly discovered that something was wrong. There seemed to be too many people in the world in this small town.
Some.
Yuwen Nian had the experience of escaping with her master, so she asked with some uncertainty, "Brother, I always feel something is wrong. Have we been discovered?"
Xiao Jingrui had a lot of experience in the world of martial arts, but he had never been hunted down before. He could spot the hidden masters of the martial arts at a glance. After listening to Yuwenian's words, he no longer dared to enter the store, so he quickly pulled Yuwenian and said,
"Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
Yuwen Nian did not dare to hesitate and hurried out of the town.
Those martial arts experts felt that it was really not good to besiege and kill in the town, so they deliberately followed behind, preparing to start their attack outside the town.
What these dozens of martial arts masters had not expected was that as soon as they chased through a canyon, they found Yuwen Nian and Xiao Jingrui with a man in armor. Behind the man in armor, there were more than a hundred people wearing strong clothes.
Cavalry soldiers with powerful crossbows.
Just as they were about to retreat, a hail of arrows came at them. A dozen swordsmen who were unable to dodge were immediately hit by the arrows and fell to the ground. They couldn't help but lay on the ground and screamed miserably.
When the others saw that the other party was attacking directly, they quickly used Qing Kung Fu to escape, but some people still did not escape, and more than a dozen fell down again.
After two rounds of shooting, out of dozens of martial arts masters, only a dozen or so with better skills were left unharmed.
However, they escaped from the range of the bow and arrow, but immediately heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, and they knew that these soldiers had no intention of letting them go.
