"Okay." Yan Sheng said with some emotion.

Yu Nian is the person Yan Sheng trusts the most, and Yan Sheng also hopes that Yu Nian can be her backer.

Yan Sheng immediately wrote secret letters to the various branches of the Blood Bamboo Hall, asking them to spread the news to various countries.

Three days later, the news that the eldest prince of Qing State, Qing Yi, was also alive spread throughout the streets and alleys of Qing State.

Even the Yu and Yue countries heard about it. Yu Haotian was a little shocked when he heard it. Didn’t Qing Yi die in the border area?

The crown prince of Qing Kingdom just died, and now a new prince has appeared. Previously, Qing Kingdom had always been resentful towards Yu Kingdom because of the death of Qing Yiye.

The Qing Kingdom has finally settled the turmoil. If Qing Yi also returns to the Qing Kingdom, there will definitely be endless troubles in the future.

"Investigate Qing Yiye's whereabouts with all your strength. If there is a chance, don't let him return to Qing Kingdom alive."

Yu Haotian's eyes deepened as he spoke to the secret guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The secret guard immediately said respectfully.

Plum Courtyard of Prime Minister's Mansion

"Miss, today is the day when Concubine Zhen comes to visit her parents at the Prime Minister's Residence." Xiaoqiu said softly.

"I understand." Leng Yan'an said calmly. It must be no good thing for Leng Ruozhen to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since Leng Ruozhen went to the palace, she has been favored by Yu Haotian. For more than ten days, Yu Haotian went to Leng Ruozhen's Yushu Palace.

There are ten days left before Leng Yanan and Yu Zhihan's wedding. Leng Yanan took out a plum blossom hairpin from the cabinet, feeling a little sad.

There has been no news of Yan Sheng since he went to Liuzhou. According to a letter from the An Ge branch in Liuzhou, Yan Sheng and the blue-eyed dancer Jiang Xuewu went to Liuzhou together.

But it was Jiang Xuewu who dealt with the Wufeng Sect in Liuzhou. Yan Sheng basically never showed up, and even if he did appear, it was only his back.

A lot of things happened in just twenty days. First, the pirates in Linshui Bay died mysteriously, and then a ship was found on the seabed.

There is also the long-lost body-trapping formation. Although this formation is the unique formation of the Xue Clan, no one knows how to use it anymore.

Even Elder Yue of the Xue Clan, who was proficient in formations, had only comprehended a little bit of it and was unable to cast a trapping formation.

Some formation masters even went to Linshui Bay specifically to study the trapping formation next to the ship on the seabed.

Because the person who sets up the trap will also be trapped in the formation, so when they saw the corpses in the ship, they didn't know which one was the master of the formation.

Even the leader and elders of the Xue Clan were extremely shocked. There were only a few disciples in the Xue Clan who learned formations, and except Yan Sheng, everyone else only knew the basics.

Yan Sheng is extremely talented. He broke Elder Yue’s formation as soon as he arrived at Xuemen. However, Yan Sheng is still young, so it is impossible for him to set up a formation that could trap him.

The Body-Trapping Array has been around for a thousand years, and many people have spent their entire lives studying it without ever being able to comprehend it.

Then, the Crown Prince Qing Wei of Qing State was assassinated by a dancer and died, causing panic among the people of Qing State.

There have also been rumors in the past two days that Qing Yi, who was sent to Yu Kingdom as a hostage by Qing Kingdom twenty-three years ago, is still alive.

Leng Yan'an stared at the plum blossom hairpin in a daze. She felt a little uncomfortable without Yan Sheng around.

That night, she was so angry that she lost her mind and said a lot of harsh words to Yan Sheng. After calming down for a few days, Leng Yanan felt a little regretful.

Thinking of every little thing about her and Yan Sheng, Leng Yanan felt a pain in her heart. Apart from deceiving her, Yan Sheng had always been very good to her.

They watched the sea of ​​flowers together, watched the meteors on Fengtong Mountain, watched the first snow, shared hardships, and experienced ups and downs. How could they just forget it?

"Xiao Qiu, let's go to the door." Leng Yan'an said softly, to prevent Leng Ruozhen from coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find fault later.

"Yes, miss." Xiao Qiu said lightly.

At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Ye, Leng Yan'an, Leng Ruoyun, Leng Ruoqing, Wu Yu and the servants of the mansion were waiting at the door.

"Where is Song Yuyin? Why hasn't she come yet? Hurry up and ask her to come over." Gu Ye said loudly to the maid.

The maid immediately said, "Prime Minister, Concubine Song said she had caught a cold and was afraid of offending Concubine Zhen."

Leng Ruoqing was a little surprised. Wasn't her mother fine last night? She even said she didn't want to see Leng Ruozhen's arrogant look, so how could she catch a cold today?

Gu Ye didn't say anything else. Song Yuyin was becoming more and more pretentious. It was really bad luck that she got sick at this critical moment instead of earlier.

After a while, Leng Ruozhen's sedan chair arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion in a grand manner.

"Empress Zhen is here--" a eunuch shouted.

The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion knelt down one after another, "Greetings to Her Majesty Zhenpin, may Your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand thousand thousand years."

Leng Yan'an looked up and saw Leng Ruozhen wearing a purple gauze and emerald green patterned skirt that reached the ground, with a snow-white brocade beaded ribbon tied around her waist.

A hollow gold hairpin decorated with purple jade was inserted in her cloud-like bun on her head. A small chain as thin as water drops hung from the tip of the hairpin. The slightest sway of the chain made it look like misty rain. She wore a blue and white glass bead bracelet on her hand and had a light makeup on. Her eyebrows were as curved as willows, with a dot of bright red on the center of her eyebrows.

"Stand up." Leng Ruozhen said proudly.

Leng Ruozhen looked around and only saw Gu Ye, Leng Yanan, Leng Ruoyun, Leng Ruoqing, and Wu Yu.

"Father, today is the day I return home to visit my relatives. Does Aunt Song not want to see me?" Leng Ruozhen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Song Yuyin is not feeling well. She didn't come out for fear of disturbing Your Majesty." Gu Ye said lightly.

Leng Ruozhen's eyes turned, "Feeling unwell? I happened to bring the imperial physician with me. Since Concubine Song is feeling unwell, let the imperial physician go and take a look."

Leng Ruoqing was afraid that Song Yuyin would be discovered if she pretended to be sick, so she quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, mother, just take a rest."

"That won't work. Aunt Song has been very kind to me in the past. You two can go with me to see Aunt Song."

Leng Ruozhen said with a chuckle, waved his hand, and a royal doctor came over.

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Ye's face solemnly knew that Song Yuyin knew how to cause trouble for him, and it would be best if she was really sick. Leng Ruozhen was really something, why did he mention Song Yuyin?

Several people went towards Song Yuyin's courtyard. Leng Yan'an glanced at Leng Ruoqing and felt that things were not that simple.

Leng Ruoqing's heart skipped a beat. It was all over. Leng Ruozhen took the imperial physician to his mother's yard. If her mother was found to be faking illness, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and deliberately neglecting Leng Ruozhen.

Leng Ruoyun had an expression of watching a show. Song Yuyin was afraid that a disaster was about to happen. Leng Ruozhen was now Yu Haotian's most beloved concubine and was very powerful.

When they arrived at Song Yuyin's yard, they could vaguely hear a woman's moans mixed with a man's heavy breathing in the house.

Leng Yan'an glanced at Leng Ruozhen and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised without a trace of surprise in her eyes. She immediately realized that it was Leng Ruozhen's doing.

Song Yuyin was caught in bed with her husband, and that was not just a simple crime of neglect. Gu Ye would definitely not let Song Yuyin have an easy time.

Leng Ruozhen wanted Song Yuyin to die in disgrace. No matter whether Song Yuyin had an affair herself or was framed, she would have no way to defend herself.
