The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

"Say it!"

"Master, I have found out that someone said that more than ten years ago, Doctor Ye and his son Ye Yang appeared in public for the last time."

Doctor Shi asked anxiously, "Where?"

"Dr. Ye and his son disappeared at the border of Western Yi..."

"What!" Doctor Shi was shocked, and his expression was no longer calm. "Say it again?"

Doctor Shi frowned fiercely, "The border of Xiyi is barren, mostly desert. If they disappear in Xiyi, it will be difficult to find their traces."

Zheng Yuan comforted him: "Master, don't worry, I will continue to investigate..."

Doctor Shi said solemnly: "I hope we can find out the whereabouts of Doctor Ye and his son as soon as possible. I always feel that Doctor Wu has some relationship with Doctor Ye..."

In the imperial study, the queen smiled gently as she watched the emperor enjoying the nutritious soup she had brought.

"Your Majesty is very busy with government affairs, so you should take care of your health."

The emperor took a sip of the soup and looked up at the queen.

"Thank you, Queen. The soup is delicious. You are thoughtful."

"As long as the emperor likes it." The queen smiled dignifiedly and said, "I am just a woman, there is not much I can do for the emperor, as long as I can make the emperor feel a little happy."

The emperor laughed heartily, tilted his head back and drank up the remaining soup in the bowl.

Afterwards, the emperor and the queen chatted for a while. The queen shared some trivial matters in the harem with the emperor from time to time, and her words also vaguely expressed her concern for the emperor.

The emperor was in a good mood chatting with the empress, and his face was a little less majestic.

The queen seized the opportunity to talk about another topic.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the Crown Prince's recent performance? Chu Ao is still very young, and it is inevitable that he may not be thoughtful in his work from time to time. I am worried that he will cause trouble for Your Majesty."

"It's okay. I was also young once, and the prince will gradually grow up." The emperor looked calm and patted the back of the queen's hand a few times to comfort her.

The emperor continued, "The prince has been following me around from time to time these days, and his behavior is relatively steady. He still has a lot of room for growth."

"That's good." The queen smiled, "I also think that the prince has been behaving well recently."

"Besides, he said that we can't just be good at official duties, we also need to improve our martial arts skills. Look, recently the prince has been practicing martial arts with his guards in the mansion when he has some free time."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "That's very good."

He thought back to the prince's physical condition and felt relieved.

Doctor Shi took the prince's pulse twice and found no problems. The prince has recovered recently, so the rumors about the prince's offspring being in trouble must be false.

The emperor and the empress briefly learned about the prince's recent situation, then the empress took her leave and the emperor continued to review memorials.

The panic-stricken reports in Beijing were temporarily quelled, and no officials were reported for many days.

Although the real culprit behind spreading the letters of denunciation has not been found yet, fortunately the situation did not escalate and was still within the control of the emperor and the court.

Not only the emperor was relieved, but other officials of all ranks in the court were relieved. Fortunately, no one was reported again.

Otherwise, when will this life of living in fear every day end?

In the Southern Thai envoy's villa, Wanyan Gu was extremely excited.

Tu Dan and several secret guards reported: "Second Prince, we have tracked down the whereabouts of a team. That team is not the Night King's men."

Wanyan Gu was overjoyed, "Maybe they are the murderers of my secret guards!"

"Yes, that's right."

"who is it?"

"Replying to the Second Prince, it is the Emperor's Dragon Staff Guard."

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Gu was shocked and his lips trembled. "Really?"

Tu Shan replied, "That's right. The secret guards found a lot of traces in the eastern suburbs of the capital. In the past two days, they followed a group that left some traces. As a result, based on the clothes embroidered with golden lace, they found that those people were the Dragon Staff Guards."

Wanyan Gu was half happy and half worried. He was happy that he had found the real murderer who killed his secret guard, but he was worried that the murderer was a subordinate of the Emperor of Zhongyue. What should he do?

Without time to think, Wanyan Gu asked again: "Can the Dragon Staff Guard find your traces? Don't let anyone find me!"

"Don't worry, Second Prince. The Dragon Staff Guards haven't discovered us."

"Okay, okay. But I'm worried that the emperor will find out that those eight secret guards are my people." Wan Yan Gu frowned and denied himself, "No, if the emperor finds out that my people are also tracking Ye Xiaohan's people, he will definitely think that I am causing trouble and will not let me go."

Wanyan Gu relaxed his mind, and combined with the emperor's recent attitude towards the Nantai envoys, he concluded that the emperor had not yet found him. However, he could never be sure about the future.

Tu Shan replied: "Second Prince, the Emperor should have found out that the eight secret guards are from Southern Thailand, but he still doesn't know that you are their master."

"Then we have to be more careful during this period." Wanyan Gu sighed, "Forget it, withdraw the troops and no longer need to track down the whereabouts of Ye Xiaohan's subordinates."

"My subordinate understands!"

"But I can't swallow this." Wanyan Gu wanted to take revenge but was a little conflicted. Could it be that he, a prince of another country, dared to openly challenge the ruler of another country in Zhongyue?

"We can't use our ultimate moves, but we can still use some small moves to mess with the Dragon Staff Guards." Wanyan Gu smiled evilly and whispered to Tudan and the others for a while.

Hehe, there will always be a price to pay for killing my secret guards!

At this time, the Queen was also tracking down a team in the eastern suburbs of the capital. She had just chatted with the Emperor for a long time, and the Emperor finally told her that he had sent people to track down Ye Xiaohan's subordinates.

But the emperor did not explain in detail, and he did not tell the queen - he found out that Wei Song's team might be in contact with the mysterious team in Nantai.

Although she had already heard some news about the Ye Mansion, the Queen still pretended to be shocked and asked the Emperor some questions with curiosity and discretion.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of revealing too much information, the queen sensibly stopped asking. At least she knew that the emperor's current investigation had stalled...

The queen smiled coldly and immediately ordered her servants, "Send more people to the East Suburbs to support the first team I sent out. We must find out what happened in the East Suburbs!"

In a house somewhere in the capital, a man in black was kneeling on the ground.

Two days ago, a group of these men in black wandered around in the deep mountains of the eastern suburbs, and now they have just returned to the capital.

"Your Highness, under our special guidance, the secret guards of Prince Wan have discovered the traces of the Dragon Staff Guards."

Ye Xiaohan said "hmm" lightly.

"Send a pigeon immediately to withdraw most of the troops from the eastern suburbs of the capital and Liumu County tomorrow morning."

The man in black stepped back and Wei Song and Wei Bai came up.

Wei Song asked, "Your Majesty, does Wanyan Gu really dare to fight back against the emperor's men?"

"He doesn't dare," Ye Xiaohan said with deep eyes, "but he still dares to play some tricks."

"How insidious!" Wei Bo said with a flat mouth. "Wan Yan Gu seems to like to do this kind of tricks. When he first came to Beijing, he used darts to attack me and the princess."

Ye Xiaohan's eyes turned even colder, "There will be something interesting to watch next..."
