"Is that person really from the Central Plains?"

"There are no snow wolves in the Central Plains. How could he have mastered such skillful wolf training techniques?"

Mu Qianxiao's eyes moved slightly as he listened to the wolf's howl. He called his servant over and whispered some instructions.

There are many people from the Central Plains in various places in the Western Regions, but there is only one who can become a military advisor. This Yun Yi must be no ordinary person. If he came from Hui Country, he would definitely not have been unknown in the past.

Mu Qianxiao sent his servant to test Yun Yi first, but that person did not come back for a long time.

It was like a stone thrown into the vast ocean, without causing any ripples, silently.

It was not until the night before Mu Qianxiao was about to leave the capital of Loulan that a huge black cloth bag was thrown in through the window.

The servant stepped forward to open it and saw that the cloth bag contained the body of the servant who was sent to find out Yun Yi's background.

"Your Highness, those people came and went in a hurry and disappeared soon." The servant came back to report after chasing them for a while without success.

Mu Qianxiao glanced at the lifeless body on the ground and said, "Take it down and bury it."

At the same time, inside Yun Yi's residence, a subordinate came back to report after finishing his work: "Military Advisor, everything has been handled."

"Mu Qianxiao and his group did not change their itinerary and set off with the horses they had purchased."

This was expected. As the high and mighty Crown Prince, how could Mu Qianxiao change his scheduled itinerary because of the death of a servant?

"In that case, let's get ready and set off."

Now many businessmen have deposited gold and silver in the military treasury. What Yun Yi needs to do now is to make that money generate money again.

After dawn, Yun Yi went to Luoxia Mountain to bid farewell to the Saint, and then led the caravan to Hui Country to do business.

Compared with other merchants traveling between the two places, Yunyi has relative advantages.

"Saint, you let the military advisor take away so much money. Aren't you afraid that he will never come back?" Xiao Ai asked doubtfully.

She didn’t understand why the saint trusted Yun Yi so much?

"There's a saying in the Central Plains: 'Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt.' Since I've chosen to work with him, I naturally won't be suspicious of him."

And more importantly, the saint knew very well that if Yun Yi really wanted to replace her, he could do it at any time.

When he didn't do that.

The saint bent her fingers to her lips and blew a whistle, but the snow wolf cub did not run over immediately as usual.

"Where did it go?"

Xiao Ai suddenly remembered: "I just saw the wolf cub running in the direction the military advisor left. Has he not returned since saying goodbye?"

bid farewell?

The Saint frowned slightly and sighed helplessly, "Maybe it went with me to the Central Plains. It seems that I won't be able to sleep with it for a while."

The snow wolf cub did run towards Yun Yi who was about to leave, and stayed on him, refusing to leave.

Yun Yi didn't force it and let it run behind his horse.

Although it is a wolf cub, it is already over one year old. Its running speed is not slower than that of a horse. In addition, the horse team is carrying goods, so there is no possibility that it cannot keep up.

-

After more than two months, Mu Qianxiao returned to Shangjing City again.

Although he encountered ambushes by assassins on his way there and back, he went to the imperial study and reported the information he had gathered along the way truthfully.

"Go and carefully investigate where the military advisor comes from. If it is the people of Hui country, there is no reason for him to give advice to Loulan." The emperor gave the order after a little thought.

Mu Qianxiao accepted the order and then told about the assassins he had encountered along the way.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the imperial study had different expressions.

"Though those assassins appear to be from the Central Plains, they were paid to do their work. No one knows whether the mastermind behind this is from the Central Plains or the Western Regions. I wish to thoroughly investigate this matter, and I hope your Majesty will grant me your approval."

"Those who dare to murder the crown prince of Hui State must be investigated thoroughly." The emperor glanced at the other princes in the hall and agreed with Mu Qianxiao's proposal.

"You've been so busy these days. Go back to the East Palace and rest."

Mu Qianxiao bowed and then left the imperial study.

After returning to the Eastern Palace, he called his confidants to find out about all the major and minor events in the court over the past two months.

At the same time, Luo Fuying received the news that Mu Qianxiao had returned to the East Palace.

"When I just came back, I saw that the Crown Princess sent someone to deliver stew to the Crown Prince. Concubine, do you want me to prepare some for the Crown Prince as well?"

Luo Fuying rejected the suggestion of the maid beside her. Doing the same thing as the Crown Princess at this time would be cliché.

"First, go around the palace and ask around to see if the Crown Prince encountered anything special during his trip to the Western Regions."

If you want to win Mu Qianxiao's heart, you have to know everything about him. Only in this way can you know yourself and your enemy and win every battle.

Not long after, the maid came back and told about Mu Qianxiao's repeated encounters with assassins. As for the "Loulan Military Advisor", it was a secret and did not come out of the imperial study.

Luo Fuying had returned to Shangjing City for many days and had some understanding of the affairs of the court.

The prince was ambushed by assassins many times. For such a thing to be spread, it must have been done intentionally by someone, and this person was most likely Mu Qianxiao himself who gave the order.

Is Mu Qianxiao trying to lure the snake out of its hole?

Find out who sent the assassins to kill him?

No, Mu Qianxiao has been the crown prince for many years and he is very clear about who his political enemies are.

He must be well aware of the person who sent the assassin to assassinate him. Now it depends on whether he wants to identify who sent the assassin to assassinate him.

"What's going on outside?"

Luo Fuying asked loudly when he heard the hurried footsteps outside.

The maid went out to investigate and returned with the following statement: "His Royal Highness was discussing state affairs with his staff when the Crown Princess's maid, Qiuzhu, suddenly barged in. He beat her to death with a stick. The Crown Prince then ordered the Crown Princess to be confined to her room, accusing her of 'lax discipline'."

Qiuzhu?

Luo Fuying had some impression of that little palace maid. It seemed that she was the maid that came with the Crown Princess. She was over 20 years old and had been with the Crown Princess for many years. How could she break into the Crown Prince's study for no reason?

On the first day Mu Qianxiao came back, he put the Crown Princess under house arrest. Was he making an example of her?

The eighth prince.

I heard that the eldest princess's husband and the eighth prince have been very close recently, and the Crown Princess is the niece of the eldest princess's husband.

So Mu Qianxiao was planning to put the blame of 'sending assassins' on the Eighth Prince?

"Ah...save me, Crown Princess, save me...I don't want to die..."

At this moment, a miserable scream was heard outside.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that all palace inhabitants of the Eastern Palace be present to witness the execution as a warning to others."

Not only was a palace maid beaten to death with a stick for a false accusation, but all the palace maids were also forced to witness the execution.

Luo Fuying had only known that Mu Qianxiao was the Crown Prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. In their daily interactions, apart from his majesty and mood swings, he was no different from an ordinary person.

But at this moment, Luo Fuying deeply felt the power of imperial power.

Mu Qianxiao is no different from the eldest princess.

Suddenly, Luo Fuying felt nauseous and his stomach turned upside down, and then everything went dark before his eyes.

Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to see the maid running towards her in panic.
