Empress Changsun looked shocked when she saw Li Shimin put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and came to the map that had not been put away.
This move made Zhao Kun and Hu Shanggong a little confused. What is going on, Your Majesty?
"Zhao Kun, what did the embroidered envoy say that day when he came to report the whereabouts of the murderer who attacked Li Yifu?"
"Your Majesty, after leaving Luonan, the desperado passed through Zhengzhou, Huazhou, Puzhou, and Yunzhou.
Until the time of Jeju, there was no news about the docked mount and the knight..."
"Now send someone to ask the embroidered clothes envoy if he encountered anything unusual in Jeju."
"Cheng Sanlang, the dignified Luoyang Order, actually left everything behind. I don't know where he went."
"That kid Ke'er is really a bastard. He didn't even send any news back."
Li Shimin was sitting behind the desk with a very gloomy expression.
Zhao Kun hurried towards Wencheng Hall with a hurried look on his face. Empress Changsun looked suspicious and walked forward slowly.
But seeing her husband's gloomy face that was almost dripping with tears, she resisted the urge to ask and stood beside him gently.
"...Your Majesty, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy said that when they arrived at Jeju, they met His Highness King Qi's team returning to the feudal domain."
After hearing the news from Zhao Kun, Li Shimin's eyelids jumped wildly and he murmured in a low voice.
"After they entered the territory of Jeju, they could no longer detect the gray-eyed knight riding the docked horse, right?"
"Exactly." Zhao Kun couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Could it be that this place really has something to do with His Highness King Qi?
If that is the case, it is definitely not a small matter for the dignified prince to actually attack the imperial official.
At this moment, Empress Changsun, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but turn pale.
"Your Majesty, the embroiderer just now also provided a piece of news, which came from the Luoyang County Government..."
"Cheng Sanlang and His Highness King Wu have not been to the county government for many days, and someone was in the caravan of the Han and Tang Dynasties passing through Puzhou City.
I met two people who looked very much like His Highness King Wu and Cheng Sanlang..."
Li Shimin: "..."
Queen Changsun: "..."
"Husband..." Queen Changsun saw her husband whose face changed slightly and raised her hand to signal Zhao Kun to step back first, and couldn't help but whisper softly.
"Could it be a coincidence?"
"No, with Cheng Sanlang's mind, it's impossible for him to miss any of the information that I found out through the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, right?"
"I'm afraid they are also pursuing this clue and want to get to the bottom of it themselves. After all, our good son-in-law has never been very thoughtful."
Hearing this description, Queen Changsun's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Her husband really never forgets to complain.
"Not to mention that both of his officials are disabled. If he doesn't find out the truth, haha..."
Li Shimin, who felt that he had guessed the truth, couldn't help but feel a little proud, but when he thought about it, he thought that in all likelihood, Li You was the mastermind behind the scenes.
His face darkened again, and he paced slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back. As Li You's biological father, Li Shimin was very aware of Li You's character flaws.
It is precisely because of this that this son, who has an extreme personality and likes to act in extreme ways, is able to kill an official of the imperial court.
Once I feel that something is wrong, I don't have to suppress it without my own father to suppress it.
Then there is a high possibility that he will not turn back until he hits the wall. In all likelihood, he will break the pot and do something even more heinous.
Queen Changsun on the side also looked a little gloomy, and after pondering for a while, she whispered in a low voice.
"Husband, I'm a little worried about You'er's temperament."
"Yes, that evildoer is not only stupid, but also has a bad temper and acts impulsively. Once he gets the upper hand, he can do anything."
"The dignified prince ordered someone to murder a court official. What does he want to do? If he knew that Cheng Sanlang and Ke'er went to Qizhou to investigate the case..."
Having said this, Li Shimin's expression darkened. "Come here, hurry up and summon Chai Qing's family into the palace. Go quickly...by the way, let Cheng Yaojin know and ask him to come too."
After thinking for a while, he turned around and nodded slightly towards Queen Changsun.
"My husband wants to go there in person. He is a prince after all. I don't want him to make the same mistake again and again."
"Furthermore, don't let Xiao Sizi know that she is very heavy now, so as not to hurt your daughter from anxiety."
Empress Changsun held her husband's generous hands tightly, nodded and said softly.
"I understand that all matters in the palace, as well as the little Sizi, can be left to me. My husband can rest assured..."

Chai Shao and Cheng Yaojin met at the gate of the palace. When they saw each other, they couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Lao Cheng, what is your Majesty looking for from you and me? Have you received any news?"
"How does Mr. Cheng know? I am also confused, but His Majesty has an order, and as a minister, there is no reason to disobey it?"
Cheng Yaojin spoke loudly with a righteous look on his face.
Chai Shao looked at the old demon moth with some suspicion, feeling that the old fellow seemed to have guessed something.
Seeing the look Chai Shao cast, General Cheng wiped his face, pushed Chai Shao and said.
"Anyway, E Lao Cheng estimates that it won't be a bad thing. Let's go quickly."
The two hurriedly entered the Wencheng Hall and saw the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, sitting solemnly in casual clothes.
"I have come to see your Majesty, but I don't know why you have summoned me here."
Chai Shao bowed first and asked respectfully. Cheng Yaojin who saluted beside him was also amused, which meant that I was the same.
Li Shimin saw Cheng Yaojin's playful expression and felt evil in his heart for no reason.
But this was not the time to start a quarrel with this old guy. Li Shimin stood up.
"Chai Qing, you will lead two thousand left guard elite cavalry to follow me on a patrol. Today the Ministry of Works has come to report that the dredging of the river has been completed.
It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days to patrol the banks of the Yellow River. Well, Cheng Qing, you will accompany me."
"Yes, I will go back and prepare now." Chai Shao replied with a respectful salute.
"No need to prepare, we are leaving today." Li Shimin stood up and strode towards the outside of the hall.
"Your Majesty?!" Chai Shao's face was full of astonishment. He turned around and glanced at Cheng Yaojin beside him. He saw Cheng Yaojin wink at him and hurried out of the palace.
Chai Shao immediately obeyed the order sternly. Although he did not understand the reason why His Majesty was so eager, as a loyal minister.
Chai Shao certainly knew that he should obey His Majesty's will unconditionally.
In less than two hours, two thousand elite cavalry quietly left Luoyang City. After leaving the city from the north of Luoyang City, they ran straight towards the east and north...
