Chu Zhao stayed in Wuzhou for another three days, waiting for Qiao Yan to send troops to Yong County to replace Zhang Dahan and others.

During this period, your father-in-law began to perform his duties conscientiously again, urging Chu Zhao over and over again to leave as soon as possible and go to Beijing to diagnose the Queen Mother as soon as possible.

He never confessed He Yunjie's true identity to Chu Zhao, and Chu Zhao pretended not to know. Every time he talked about He Yunjie, he still called him Eunuch Feng.

Qi Fengshan said that before leaving, Eunuch Feng forced him to write a letter to King Jingnan in person, so that King Jingnan would not have to come to Wuzhou again.

Because He Yunjie personally watched him write the letter and personally sent a messenger to deliver it, he was worried that Murong Xiao would be misled and seriously lead his troops back to Yunzhou.

"How is that possible? Do you think the prince is so obedient?" Chu Zhao said with a smile, "Based on my understanding of the prince, he should have torn the letter to pieces on the spot, pretended not to receive it, and continued on his way."

Sure enough, one morning, when Murong Xiao, who had already led his troops out of the Yunzhou border, received this letter, he tore it into pieces on the spot, threw it into the valley with his hands, and ordered his troops to speed up.

He had already come, but it was impossible to evacuate. The princess was missing and her whereabouts were unknown. He had to rush to Wuzhou as quickly as possible.

As for the news that the princess had been successfully rescued, he neither heard nor saw it. It was normal for him not to receive letters during the march. Anyway, he just didn't receive them. There was no proof or proof. Who could tell the news? how is he?

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Chu Zhao for a long time.

That woman really couldn't rest for a moment. She was tossing wherever she went, making him anxious all day long, unable to eat or sleep.

When we meet again, we must give her a good education.

But she most likely won't listen.

Not only won't you listen, but you may even talk back to him, or even educate him in return.

Murong Xiao imagined that situation and couldn't help but want to be angry.

But for some reason, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and his eyebrows were tinged with smiles.

Beiyuan was walking beside him on horseback. Looking at his prince's unpredictable expression, he thought to himself that he was probably thinking of the princess again.

Because he is not like this usually, only when he thinks of the princess, he will be extremely entangled, mixed with joy and anger, unable to laugh or cry, like a mentally disturbed patient.

And this disease can only be cured by the princess.

Beiyuan raised his whip and spurred his horse, and accelerated towards Wuzhou with all the Jingnan Army. He only hoped to see the princess as soon as possible so that the prince's illness could be treated.

However, things backfired. When they rushed to Wuzhou non-stop day and night, Chu Zhao had already led his team to leave Wuzhou and entered Yuzhou.

Murong Xiao couldn't help but feel angry, but fortunately before Chu Zhao left, he left a letter for Qiao Yan to hand over to him. The main message was that since your father-in-law was here, she couldn't keep dragging him away, but she would walk slower and give him time to let him go. He catches up.

Murong Xiao had no choice but to chase her all the way to Yuzhou.

At this time, He Yunjie had already escorted a group of officials back to the capital.

Along the way, he kept in touch with the capital at all times and did not hear any unusual movements in the capital. However, the night before he entered the capital, rumors suddenly spread in the capital that Jinyuwei Commander Feng Guanlan had passed by the capital when he was on errands in Huguang. Princess Jingnan of Wuzhou killed the Prince of Liang and the Huguang general Ma Delong who attempted to rebel, and captured a group of officials who colluded with the Prince of Liang. Now they are escorting those officials back to Beijing.

It was already evening when the rumor spread, and then it spread across the city at the speed of the wind, catching Mr. He Pingchuan by surprise.

He had originally prepared to lead the civil and military officials to welcome his son's return outside the South City Gate tomorrow, and to publicize his son as a hero in slaying the rebels and quelling the rebellion, so that the He family's status in the court would be more respected and unbreakable.

The reason why the news was not leaked beforehand was because I was afraid that someone would find out the truth of the matter and cause damage.

Who would have thought that when people were about to arrive in the capital, such rumors suddenly broke out, leaving him with no way to investigate and no time to suppress them.

Now that the city gate is closed, He Yunjie is still on the road, and the news cannot be delivered in time. It will be delayed until tomorrow morning, and we don't know how many changes will happen.

He Pingchuan was angry and anxious. He immediately thought that Feng Guanlan was causing trouble, so he had someone prepare a sedan chair and went to find Feng Guanlan in person to question him.

However, Feng Guanlan was not at home.

The eunuch in charge of the mansion told him matter-of-factly that Eunuch Feng went to Huguang on business many days ago. By the way, he put down the chaos in Huguang and wiped out the Liang Wang party. Now he is escorting a group of criminals back. As expected. If so, I'll be back early tomorrow morning.

When He Pingchuan heard this, he was so angry that he cursed Feng Guanlan for being a shameless eunuch. He saw him in the palace the day before yesterday. Was he the one who had grown wings and flown to Huguang?

The eunuch in charge said seriously that the Eunuch Feng he saw in the palace was Eunuch Feng's stand-in, in order to confuse everyone so that no one would hear the news and report the news to Huguang in advance.

He Pingchuan listened to his serious nonsense and wished he could give him a few slaps for his big mouth.

But he was just an errand, and beating him to death would be useless. Feng Guanlan must have taught him this.

That damn Feng Guanlan might be hiding somewhere and watching him secretly.

In fact, Feng Guanlan was really not at home. At this time, he was at a post station fifty miles away from the capital, "having a drink and talking happily" with He Yunjie, the elder of the small pavilion.

"Xiao Ge has worked so hard for our family to do errands for us. Let us leave the rest to our own hands!"

He Yunjie had just washed away his travel dust and put on a clean white robe. His black hair was half-dried and draped behind him. Leng Yu's face still had the blush after bathing, and his lips were light but moist.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Xiao Ge is so charming that even our eunuchs can't help but want to take a second look!"

Feng Guanlan played with the luminous cup on the table, took a sip of the red wine and licked his lips.

He Yunjie calmly looked at the dead eunuch who appeared in his room silently like a ghost. He neither asked him how he got in nor told him to get out. Instead, Shi Shiran walked to sit opposite him. , and poured himself a glass of wine.

"As expected of Jin Yuwei, he is indeed well-informed." He took a sip of wine, and the color of his lips became brighter due to the wine stains. "Did Eunuch Feng come here specifically to steal my credit?"

"How can you say it was robbery? Isn't this what I, Eunuch Feng, did?" Feng Guanlan said matter-of-factly, "Everyone in Wuzhou City knows that I, Feng Guanlan, killed Mr. Ma, and I, Feng Guanlan, and I, Feng Guanlan, eradicated the King of Liang together with Princess Jingnan. Yes, do I still need to grab it?"

Princess Jingnan?

He Yunjie's originally calm expression suddenly changed a little because of these four words.

"Princess Jingnan asked you to do this, right?"
