Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!
Chapter 62: Imperial Master
But somehow the news got out and caused a lot of uproar.
The Empress Dowager could not bear to see Miss Yun's reputation ruined, so she issued an imperial decree to allow the two to get married.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the imperial edict arrived at the Marquis Jichun's mansion, news came out that Miss Yun could not bear the humiliation and set herself on fire out of shame and anger.
After Xiao Jingyi found out the truth, he felt very guilty towards Miss Yun.
It just so happened that at that time he did not want to stay in the capital to avoid the infighting among the princes, so he took the opportunity of this incident to go to the northern border.
When Xiao Jingyi recalled what happened that day, he only remembered that he was so furious at being plotted against that he didn't even want to look at Miss Yun.
It's been so long since the incident happened, so of course he can't remember what Miss Yun looked like.
Originally, this matter had been buried deep in his memory, but since he discovered that Yun Jing Mo had six fingers that day, a doubt suddenly arose in his heart.
Maybe Miss Yun is not dead at all!
Maybe that Madam Yun is actually Miss Yun!
He did not tell Zuo Yan his guess, but just said: "I have my own reasons, just go and check it out!"
"Check it carefully and draw a portrait of Miss Yun."
"Oh, by the way, check the Jichun Marquis Mansion for me, especially the Second Master of the Jichun Marquis Mansion!"
He remembered that after Marquis Jichun died, the Second Master Yun was in charge of Marquis Jichun's mansion.
If Madam Yun is Miss Yun, there must be a reason why she faked her death and escaped, hiding her identity.
Although Zuo Yan didn't understand why Xiao Jingyi suddenly wanted to investigate Miss Yun and Marquis Jichun's Mansion, he still agreed immediately.
At the same time, outside a two-story house two streets away from the inn where Xiao Jingyi lived, a man in a black cloak stood outside the corner door and knocked on the door several times with his fingers in a regular pattern, as if it was a secret signal.
Soon, the corner door opened from the inside.
The man in black quickly entered from the corner door, walked through the courtyard and the eaves, and entered the main hall.
The people in the main hall had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.
The man in black knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings, Master Imperial Master!"
The man sitting at the top, addressed as "Mr. Imperial Master" by the man in black, was none other than Mr. Wen, who was wanted by Zuo Yan and was once an adviser to the King of Jiangzhou.
Compared to the gentle and humble scholar in front of King Jiangzhou, Mr. Wen at this moment exudes the majesty of a superior.
"What's the situation outside?" asked Mr. Wen.
The man in black bowed and replied, "The Shadow Blade Division is still searching everywhere for your whereabouts, Master Imperial Master."
"The Shadow Blade Division has been very active these past two days, and it seems that they are planning to leave Jiangzhou and return to Beijing."
"Zuo Yan, the commander of the Shadow Blade Division, went to an inn on East Street tonight. It seems that he was going to meet someone."
"It's just that the inn is guarded. Our people can't get close to it and can't get any information from inside."
After a little thought, Mr. Wen guessed something or two.
"Right now in Jiangzhou, the only person worthy of the Left Commander's personal visit is probably His Royal Highness Prince Yi!"
Mr. Wen couldn't understand it at first. His plan with the King of Jiangzhou was very secretive. Where did Zuo Yan get the information?
Moreover, their moves were swift, fierce and accurate, and before the men could react, they had captured the mines and barracks in one fell swoop.
With conclusive evidence, they broke into the Jiangzhou Palace and subdued everyone in it.
If Mr. Wen had not reacted quickly and found an opportunity to escape during the chaos, he would have been captured by the Shadow Blade Division's people at that time.
He pondered for a long time, and now he finally caught a clue.
The exposure of Prince Jiangzhou's rebellion must have been related to Prince Yi.
These days, the people of King Jiangzhou have been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of King Yi. They almost turned the entire Jiangzhou upside down, but they couldn't find even a trace of him.
Mr. Wen now recalled carefully that the place where Prince Yi was killed was just a hundred miles away from Fengluo Mountain.
It's just that they didn't notice this before.
If Prince Yi fled in panic during the ambush and accidentally entered Fengluo Mountain, and happened to encounter the Jiangling Weir bursting and trapped in the mountain, it would not be surprising that they could not find him no matter how hard they looked for him outside.
Once Prince Yi enters Fengluo Mountain, he will naturally discover the secret of the iron mine.
Then they followed the clues to find the armory and barracks, and contacted the Shadow Blade Division to capture the King of Jiangzhou in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that all his hard work over the years wasted.
After the failure of the rebellion, Mr. Wen secretly sneaked into the palace and persuaded the King of Jiangzhou to start an uprising.
Although he was discovered, the King of Jiangzhou had soldiers and money, and he might be able to turn the situation around with a final effort.
But the King of Jiangzhou was a wimp and actually backed down.
He also thought that after being escorted to the capital, he would go to the Emperor Daqi to cry and admit his mistakes, and then have the Empress Dowager come forward to protect him. Even if he was stripped of his title in the end, he would be satisfied as long as his family was safe and sound.
Prince An chose Prince of Jiangzhou and planned painstakingly for so many years, but who knew that Prince of Jiangzhou was a useless piece of mud.
In a rage, he killed the Jiangzhou Wang family to vent his anger and made it look like they committed suicide.
Without the chess piece of King Jiangzhou to disrupt the world of Daqi, how can he realize his ambitions in the chaos?
Mr. Wen's furrowed brows soon relaxed.
As the chess player, he just needs to choose another chess piece.
Compared to the weak and incompetent Prince of Jiangzhou, who needed him to instigate, the princes of Daqi did not need him to make any effort and they fought among themselves for the supreme throne.
He only needs to add fuel to the fire to make them fight even more fiercely.
The fighting has caused the court to be unstable and the world to be in chaos, and that is the opportunity for him to rise!
And that Prince Yi is a good raft!
Since someone tried to attack Prince Yi last time but failed, I might as well help the person behind the attack!
Mr. Wen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a sinister smile in his eyes.
In the dark night, a conspiracy quietly began.
The sky gradually brightened.
After Yun Fuling and his group had breakfast, they set off again with their luggage.
Gu Yian's luggage and carriage were robbed, so he could only walk with Yun Fuling and others.
But he was weak and had always been spoiled, so he could not endure the hardship and could not walk for long.
In the end, he had no choice but to buy a flatbed cart from the victims. He sat on the cart and let the guards push it.
After walking for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the capital of Jiangning Prefecture.
Yun Fuling looked up and saw the tall and majestic city wall. In the middle of the wall were two gates. On the stone above the gates were three large characters "Jiangning Prefecture" engraved.
Outside the city wall, there were crowds of people. Judging from their clothes, they should all be refugees fleeing famine from various places.
From time to time, knife-wielding yamen runners patrolled to maintain order, so although there were many victims, there was no chaos.
As soon as Yun Fuling and the others approached, they heard a yamen runner shouting:
"All the new arrivals, line up over there to register!"
"After you have registered, just stay there quietly and wait for the government to assign you a place to settle down."
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"
