Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

The Queen saw this and secretly cried out that it was not good. She did not care about overstepping her bounds and hurriedly stepped forward. She asked the kneeling secret guards anxiously, "Have you carefully inquired about who has been to the Feng Mansion in the past few days?"

An Yi carefully glanced at the emperor on the bed. Seeing that the emperor had a gloomy face and was uneasy, he lowered his voice and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's Princess Yixin and her husband."

Hearing such an answer, the emperor's face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if it was instantly covered by a thick layer of frost, so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

An Yi saw the emperor's reaction and could not help but sweat on his forehead. He quickly added, "I also found out that in the morning, Lord Feng went to Jingzhao Yin to look for Lord Fan Jingrui. After that, I have sent people to keep an eye on him, but no abnormal situation has been found so far."

The emperor paused for a moment after hearing this, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He ordered resolutely: "Go, wait outside the Feng Mansion. As soon as Fan Jingrui and his wife appear, bring them into the palace immediately."

An Yi naturally did not dare to refute the emperor's order, and quickly bowed his head and replied: "Yes."

After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Then Lord Feng, do you still want to take it with you?"

Hearing this, the emperor almost lost face and his expression instantly became extremely ugly, as if he had been slapped hard in the face and it was burning with pain.

The queen could even clearly sense the emperor's inner panic; his slightly trembling hands and furrowed brows showed his uneasiness at the moment.

But even if he felt guilty, the emperor would not be wrong, and his majesty could not be compromised. So he shouted at An Yi: "Take him!"

However, this night was destined to be a night of humiliation for the emperor.

When An Yi led his men to the gate of Feng Mansion again, they saw the old prince Zong Lingli of the royal family and Marquis Wucheng Zhao Zhi, one of the only surviving four founding marquises, respectively, with their own well-trained and well-equipped private soldiers, surrounding Feng Mansion tightly and making no one able to get in or out.

No, it’s not about surrounding, to be precise it’s about protecting.

As soon as An Yi made his intention known, Prince Li said, "If you want to see someone, tell Li Ye to get out of the palace!"

Only Prince Li would dare to say such outrageous words, but An Yi doesn't even have the courage to convey them!

Wu Chenghou still had some conscience. "Don't listen to that old man's nonsense. Isn't this going to bring hatred to Feng Yan?"

At this point, Wu Chenghou deliberately sighed heavily, his eyes revealing helplessness and worry, and then said: "It's not that Feng Yan deliberately disobeyed the imperial order, and it's not the old prince's fault that he was angry. It's just that this matter is complicated and full of dangers."

"After this incident, it is unknown whether Feng Yan can save his life."

Wu Chenghou actually didn't know what Feng Yan was planning at the moment, but that didn't stop him from feeling sorry for Feng Yan.

After all, other people in the court may know nothing about the secrets hidden by the Feng family, but Marquis Wucheng knows one or two.

The Feng family's foundation and the resources they control are enough to create huge waves in this turbulent situation.

In fact, it is not as stormy and magnificent as people imagine. There are only the most ordinary trivial things, even such insignificant things as being so hungry.

There was no other way. Although the foundation of this formation was Chu Ci's luck, even so, after standing upright for two hours, he was exhausted.

What's more, Feng Yan not only spent a lot of energy to maintain the formation, but also lost a lot of blood.

The loss of blood made his face paler and his body weaker, as if he would collapse at any time.

Therefore, after the ceremony, the two were so tired and out of breath that they completely ignored their manners and sat down on the ground.

"Oh, I'm starving!" Chu Ci was never one to let himself down, so he shouted without hesitation. "Lord Feng, do you have a cook in your house? Give me a portion of braised lion's head, sweet and sour carp, Kung Pao chicken, and a portion of West Lake beef soup."

Feng Yan gave a bitter smile when he heard this. He had imagined many possible scenarios in his mind, but he had never expected the one before him.

He slowly raised his head, shook his head weakly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Chu Ci, although Feng Mansion has a cook, no one would dare to enter this secret room at this critical moment."

Chu Ci turned to look at Fan Jingrui with disappointment, with a hint of hope in his eyes, as if to say, "Can you find a solution?"

However, Fan Jingrui also shook his head helplessly, with a helpless look on his face. He said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do. This is not a place where you can do whatever you want."

Chu Ci gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Forget it, I still have to rely on myself at the critical moment."

So Chu Ci reached into his small bag and pretended to fumble around, but in fact he quietly took out a portion of pea yellow from the space.

Then he threw it to the two of them with a smug look on his face, and said loudly, "Here, fill your stomach first."

Fan Jingrui was not surprised by this, and gave Chu Ci a thumbs up, smiling and saying, "My lady, you are really thoughtful." At the same time, he did not forget to greet Feng Yan, "Master Feng, don't just stand there, eat something quickly to replenish your energy."

Feng Yan glanced at the pea yellow in his hand, and then looked at Fan Jingrui who handed it to him with a smug look on his face.

Suddenly I felt that it was an eyesore!

However, after following Chu Ci for a long time, he will never give up the benefits he has gained.

Therefore, even though he could clearly sense Fan Jingrui's displeasure, he still ate while mumbling, "Well, it's really good. Having this food at this time is like a lifesaver."

The original intention was to counterattack Fan Jingrui. Unexpectedly, Chu Ci took advantage of the situation directly, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "That's good to know, I don't want anything else, the dishes I just ordered, ten servings of each, isn't that too much?"

Having solved his biggest worry, Feng Yan was in a very good mood and he even made a rare joke: "You underestimate our Feng Mansion's heritage, don't you? Even if the price of the dishes you just ordered is a hundred times more expensive, our Feng Mansion can fully afford it."

Someone is asking to be slaughtered, so Chu Ci can't be lenient, right?

The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a wicked smile, and she said without hesitation: "Then a hundred times."

Chu Ci and the other two were chatting and laughing in the secret room, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.

After eating, Chu Ci felt extremely sleepy, so he found a comfortable place and had a good sleep.

However, while Chu Ci was sleeping soundly, the emperor in the palace was extremely busy.

The emperor slammed the table in anger and roared, "What is the reason for this? Investigate it thoroughly for me!"

The eunuch beside him replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, calm down. I will go and urge them now."

However, these words did not improve the emperor's mood at all.
