Chu Chenjing continued to walk towards the courtyard, his handsome face covered with a layer of frost. He ordered: "Well, have someone secretly monitor them and find out where these people came from."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Feng responded. He escorted Chu Chenjing to the gate of Chenfeng Courtyard, then left in a hurry and started to make arrangements.

After Chu Chenjing finished some work in the study room of Chenfeng Courtyard, he took a bath and changed his clothes. Then he came to Ouyang Yunyao's room in Yunqing Courtyard.

He pushed the door open quietly and saw that Ouyang Yunyao was already asleep. Chu Chenjing took off his outer robe, quietly lifted the corner of the quilt, lay down beside her, and gently held her in his arms and fell asleep.

However, when he pressed against Ouyang Yunyao's soft body, he instantly felt a surge of heat in his heart.

But looking at Ouyang Yunyao sleeping soundly in his arms, Chu Chenjing couldn't bear to wake her up, knowing that she had been too tired these days.

Chu Chenjing had no choice but to suppress his inner turmoil, kissed her on the forehead, and fell asleep with her in his arms.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, when the morning light was just breaking, Chu Chenjing left the palace and came to the imperial palace to attend the morning court.

Although Xue Conggui's party and the Queen Mother's power have been completely eliminated in recent days, because too many officials were involved this time, many official positions have become vacant, and officials need to be added from top to bottom.

In addition, there were the follow-up matters of exiled officials, the dispatch of envoys to border towns to discuss trade cooperation with the Beiyue Kingdom, and how to properly resettle the rebel soldiers so that they would be accepted by the generals from various directions. All these matters came one after another, causing the emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne in the hall, a headache.

Now, the appearance of the spy in Xiaoyao Palace in Kyoto has heated up the atmosphere in the morning court. In the court, the ministers discussed these issues one after another. The ministers took turns to express their opinions, discuss and give advice to the emperor.

After the morning court was over, Chu Chenjing, the Crown Prince, Right Prime Minister Hong Zhuoqi, Minister of Personnel Lu Yong and other important officials were summoned by the Emperor to the Imperial Study to continue discussing these matters in depth.

The emperor ordered the crown prince and the Minister of Personnel, Lu Yong, to draw up a list of local officials who needed to be adjusted as soon as possible, in an effort to fill the vacancies.

Chu Chenjing was entrusted with full authority to handle the rebel affairs and to properly place the soldiers; at the same time, Chu Chenjing had to take Chu Chenyan and Chu Chenye with him to search for spies in the city.

After coming out of the imperial study, Chu Chenjing hurried to Fengfei Palace to visit his mother.

When he saw that his mother looked rosy and had recovered very well, he felt relieved and left Fengfei Palace and walked out of the palace.

However, before he and Chu Feng walked out of the palace, they saw Han Fengli hurriedly rushing to the palace to find him.

When he saw Chu Chenjing from a distance, he shouted loudly: "A Jing, I finally found you."

"Cousin, why are you so anxious? This is not like you!" Chu Chenjing teased when he saw Han Fengli not caring about his past image.

Chu Feng also joked: "Yes, Prince Han, why didn't you take the fan?"

"Go away!" Han Fengli looked at Chu Feng with disdain.

Then he looked at Chu Chenjing and said, "Your senior brother Song Zixu is back. I told him what happened in the past two days. He is waiting for you in Zuixianlou now."

……

At the same time, in the city of Kyoto, deep in the Gold and Silver Alley of East Street, in the main hall of a mansion,

A woman in a red skirt was sitting on a wide chair beside the table. She was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Four women were standing in front of her.

These people were none other than the Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace and the four great masters under her, who were the ones Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing were anxiously looking for. They were also the four Dharma protectors around her.

Judging from the palace lord's attire today, it is no longer possible to tell that she is a woman of a foreign race. However, her charming phoenix eyes, high nose bridge and deep eyes still cannot hide the fact that she is not from the Western Chu State.

She leaned lazily on the back of the chair, glanced at her carefully manicured pointed nails, then glanced at the four people in front of her casually and asked calmly, "How is your business going?"

The leader of Fengmen, Ye Fengmei, and the leader of Huamen, Hua Qianrou, talked to each other about how they were followed yesterday. The palace master frowned slightly, glanced at them and said, "You mean you were followed yesterday? Then did you find out?"

Who is following you now?"

"The people following us are obviously not simple. We have tried to hide our bodies many times and try to lure them out, but we have never succeeded."

The stalkers they mentioned yesterday were Xia Yan and Xia Fei. They had no idea that Xia Yan and Xia Fei were using the surveillance cameras in their hands to see their every move clearly on the monitors, so how could they easily discover their whereabouts?

Hua Qianrou said: "We don't know who it is. We didn't see anyone."

"You didn't see anyone? How can you be sure that someone is following you?" the Palace Master asked doubtfully.

"We didn't notice anyone following us when we came out of the inn, but when we came out of Yumingxuan and were about to go to Zuixianlou, we felt someone was following us." Feng Yemei said.

"Could it be that your old enemy has come to look for you?" Xue Feiwu, the leader of the Xue Clan, asked tentatively.

"Enemy? There is no way my enemies will appear in Western Chu." Hua Qianrou responded firmly.

"Indeed, Qianrou is right. They can't be enemies. Could it be that the people from Yinyu Tower have attracted their attention since we went there twice?" Feng Yemei, the leader of Fengmen, said thoughtfully.

The Palace Master stared at the two people with sharp eyes and asked, "Was your makeup yesterday the same as today?" Looking at the makeup of these two people now, their makeup has covered up their foreign features, and it is completely impossible to tell that they are foreigners.

Hua Qianrou and Feng Yemei were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on. Hua Qianrou replied hesitantly: "Palace Master,

Yesterday we were dressed as merchant women, and our eyes were not completely covered with makeup, but... but... we thought there should be no flaws, and we should look like people from Western Chu." But as she spoke later, she felt uneasy and her confidence was getting weaker.

The Palace Master's eyes darkened, and he said sternly: "You are too careless! This place is not Laiyang City, and Xiaoyao Villa has been discovered by them. The investigation in Kyoto must be very strict. Are you trying to expose us?"

"Palace Master, we were careless." Feng Yemei and Hua Qianrou responded in panic. The main reason was that when they arrived in Western Chu State, in Laiyang City, these two people were very good at killing people.

The Palace Master snorted coldly and asked, "Then how did you get rid of the tail?"

Hua Qianrou said: "We have been prepared for a long time. We ordered our men to prepare a cruise ship on Ziyang Lake, a little distance away from the shore."

Feng Yemei added: "We found someone following us, so we went into Zuixianlou and had a meal. When we came out, we found that the person was still following us. We went to several places in the city but couldn't get rid of him.

We had no choice but to run straight to the lakeside and stood there for a while. Seeing that there were not many people there, we jumped into the lake without hesitation, quickly boarded the big boat, and left the tail behind. "

"Well, that's kind of clever."
