Yan Jingxuan suddenly stood up and took the letter Xuan Du handed him.
After reading it, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Before leaving, I clearly told Yang Li to be optimistic about Shen Wanyue, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen."
Wang Zefang's letter said that Yang Li was disheveled, and he was afraid that he had fallen into Shen Wanyue's beauty trap, and that none of the people marrying him were alive, but the dowry and other valuable items were all there, so it was impossible for him to seek wealth or kill himself.
The only possibility is that Shen Wanyue killed all of them and escaped, and it has been three days since the incident. The sky is huge, where can we go to search for Shen Wanyue?
Xuan Du's eyes were heavy: "The most important thing right now is Mobei. If they can't wait for the princess to be married, they will definitely start an attack."
Yan Jingxuan was worried: "At this time, where can I find a princess to send to Mobei? I'll send a message to Xiao Chengyi."
He was about to write a letter when he heard Xuandu say: "Xiao Chengyi is not in Nanyue. He has gone to Southern Xinjiang. Even if you write a letter, he will not receive it. We can only solve this matter ourselves."
Yan Jingxuan was stunned and asked: "What did he go to southern Xinjiang for?"
Xuandu said: "There was a secret work from Nanjiang in Nanyue Palace. Emperor Nanyue was poisoned and went to Nanjiang to seek medicine. He only told me about this, and not even the princess knew about it."
Yan Jingxuan: "..."
He sat back at the table, thought for a moment and said, "I will pass on the order right now and order all prefectures, counties, and prefectures to search for Shen Wanyue's whereabouts. If she resists, she will be killed without mercy."
Since she doesn't want to marry Mobei, there is no need to spare her life.
Yan Jingxuan immediately wrote an edict and planned to have people spread it, but Xuandu said again: "I am issuing a secret order. This matter will be kept in custody for the time being and do not let the courtiers know about it."
Yan Jingxuan raised his head sharply, frowned and asked, "But do you think you can hide it?"
Xuan Du frowned and said with a cold expression: "How many days can I hide this? I don't want to worry Jiahe. Once the courtiers learn about Shen Wanyue's escape, they will definitely put pressure on you.
Their pedantic courtiers can't think of any other way besides asking you to send Jiahe to get married, so why let them know about it, which will only cause more trouble?"
When he received the letter just now, he subconsciously hid it from Jiahe. He knew Jiahe too well. If she knew that Shen Wanyue had run away, she would definitely have crazy thoughts.
If Yan Jingxuan was reprimanded by the court officials because of this, Jiahe would definitely make a choice with the overall situation in mind, so he wanted to give Jiahe peace before the situation got out of control.
Yan Jingxuan felt that what he said made sense, but this was not the solution.
Xuandu saw his thoughts and said: "You send a message to Wang Zefang and ask him to strengthen the defense of the northern border. If you can't catch Shen Wanyue, you don't have to send others to get married. I have a solution to this matter. Don't worry. .”
Yan Jingxuan looked at her with confusion on his face: "What can you do?" After saying this, he seemed to think of something, and looked a little shocked: "You don't want to..."
He was startled, and then advised: "Maybe the matter is not as serious as we thought. Now the marriage between Beichen and Nanyue is a foregone conclusion. If Mobei is sensible, there will be no complications."
Xuan Du sighed: "It would be best if Mobei is willing to settle the matter, but if they are unwilling, there will definitely be a turmoil. Let's just wait and see what happens. I won't come to court in the next few days."
Seeing that he was leaving, Yan Jingxuan asked curiously: "What are you going to do if you don't come to court?"
Xuan Du stopped, looked back at him, smiled and said, "Go and accompany Jiahe."
Yan Jingxuan was stunned when he heard this, and an inexplicable sour feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
He sat on the chair and looked at the piles of memorials on the table, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of mission.
