Xiao Chengyi didn't have any good countermeasures for a while, he said: "No matter who took Shen Zhixu away, his ultimate purpose was to use it against me, so his life will not be in danger now.
Just follow what I said before, return to the capital first and wait for their next move."
The enemy is in the dark and they are in the light. If blindly looking for him is not the solution, the only way is to wait for them to come to him.
Mu Yun'an nodded and said, "That's all we can do."
Xiao Chengyi patted her hand to reassure her, and then wrote a reply to Chen Qingxue, asking her to guard Qingfeng Village.
The group of people continued their journey towards the capital.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chengyi and others arrived in the capital. After more than a year, they returned here again, and they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Because Yan Jingxuan issued an order, the city gate was still blocked and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
There seemed to be some chaos inside the city gate. Before they could knock on the door, they heard a roar and the city gate opened and people rushed out.
The soldiers guarding the door had already fallen to the ground.
Qingying and others protected Xiao Chengyi and the others. After the people dispersed, he went to check on the soldiers. Fortunately, they only suffered some minor injuries.
He asked: "What the hell is going on?"
The soldier said anxiously: "Yesterday, His Majesty issued an order to make his life experience public to the world, which caused great chaos for a while.
In addition, due to the epidemic in Qingyuan County, people were trapped in the city and could not get out. They were so frightened that they ran to the city gate to cause trouble, and we couldn't stop them."
Xiao Chengyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after listening to the soldier's words. At this time, Ye Xiuchen tore down Yan Jingxuan's summons and said, "Look, what did he write?"
Xiao Chengyi glanced at the content of the summons, and his face suddenly turned black. He said angrily: "Enter the palace."
The few people did not delay and immediately walked towards the palace gate. Along the way, people were talking in groups and there were all kinds of rumors, true and false.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw the courtiers kneeling and shouting for Yan Jingxuan to abdicate and return the government to King Jing.
At the beginning, Yan Jingxuan ascended the throne as the prince personally conferred by the late emperor.
Now that he has made it clear that he is not the son of the late emperor, then his title as emperor is not justified, and the courtiers have reason to rebel against him and support the real prince, that is, King Jing.
In addition, Yan Jingxuan claimed to have a hidden illness and had not accepted a concubine or established a queen since he ascended the throne for more than a year. The courtiers could not help but be anxious if they did not ascend to heaven. They had already gone against his intentions.
Fortunately, Yan Jingxuan gave them an excellent excuse.
When Xiao Chengyi came here, looking at the courtiers kneeling to express their feelings, he knew that Yan Jingxuan had caused him a big trouble this time.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and strode over.
One of the courtiers recognized Xiao Chengyi and exclaimed: "Is that the young master of the Xiao family? There is also Princess Protector."
"What young master from the Xiao family? He is the orphan of Prince Chen."
"Isn't he dead?"
"Yes, His Majesty shot him personally when he was still the crown prince. How come he is still alive? And he is with the Princess Protector?"
"..."
The courtiers immediately started talking because of Xiao Chengyi's appearance.
Xiao Chengyi stopped, glanced at them and said, "Ministers, please go back. I will give you the results you want at the court tomorrow morning."
After leaving these words, he turned around and walked away.
At this time, Yan Jingxuan was dining with Xiao Yunchu.
Xiao Yunchu already knew what Yan Jingxuan had done and that the capital was in chaos. She asked anxiously: "You can still eat. Tell me, why did you write that summons when you have nothing to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengyi's voice was heard from outside the door: "I want to know too."
