Princess Promotion

Li Yi's sudden appearance in the kitchen scared Chef Wang, but he still recognized him as Lieutenant General Li who was patrolling the streets.

Since ancient times, people have been afraid of officials. Although Chef Wang didn't know why Li Yi was inquiring about Miss Shen.

But out of consideration for her daughter's good reputation, as a weak woman who had fled here alone and without support had suffered enough, she still mustered up the courage to ask, "I wonder what Lieutenant General Li wants to see Miss Shen about?"

Seeing Chef Wang's defensive look, Li Yi realized that it was inappropriate to ask a woman about this directly, so he changed the subject and said, "I ordered some braised pork from Miss Shen. I've been away on business for a few days and I've been missing it so I came to ask if it's ready."

Chef Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. "What a coincidence! Miss Shen just left to buy some ingredients. But before she left, she told me to have them ready. I'll bring them out to you later."

Although Li Yi was confused, he still smiled and nodded and took the braised meat.

Seeing that the usually majestic Lieutenant General Li actually had such a greedy side, he couldn't help but tease, "This Miss Shen's braised pork is really unique. Even though it's only been on sale for a few days, people have been coming here to inquire about it. Maybe it will become a famous dish on the border in the future."

Li Yi asked casually, "Oh! It seems that there are many people who come here to find out about Miss Shen."

Chef Wang: "Yes, someone came to ask today. Judging from the way he was dressed, he must be from another place. Otherwise, he would know the time when Miss Shen sets up her stall."

Li Yi turned around and walked out of the post station and ran towards the herbal medicine shop. There was a shortage of medicinal materials at the border, and there were only a few herbal medicine shops, and the only one closest to the post station was this one.

Li Yi went to the pharmacy to ask Yao Chuguang if he had really been there and wanted to buy some common medicinal herbs.

Li Yijue felt something was wrong and he hadn't met Yao Chuguang along the way. He returned to the post station from another road, but still didn't see Yao Chuguang.

Li Yi realized that something might have happened to Yao Chuguang and rushed back to the general's mansion.

Fu Hongxuan received a secret report this morning saying that a group of foreigners had been behaving strangely a few days ago. He had a bad guess, but he sighed and was still a step too late.

Fu Hongxuan immediately gave the order: "Seal off the post station and search the entire city for the theft of valuable treasures from the general's mansion."

As long as we can hold those people down first and prevent the matter from being exposed, there is still room for maneuver.

After saying this, Fu Hongxuan paused and then continued, "If you find that woman, capture her alive. Don't hurt her."

After receiving the order, Li Yi rushed to the post station with his men. He directly pulled out the radish with mud and followed the trail and actually caught quite a few people.

Late at night, Li Yi came to the study with a bloody smell on his body. Fu Hongxuan rubbed his brows and asked in a low voice: "Did you find anything during the interrogation?"

Li Yi: "They are from Qi, and they are here to look for the missing Princess Chuguang from Yicheng."

Fu Hongxuan: "How did they know the princess had fled to Western Zhou?"

Li Yi: "Because it is the Western Zhou Dynasty."

This explains it. Li Yinhan was the second son of Duke Li, who held military power in Qi State, and also the cousin of the princess. His motive for secretly coming to Western Zhou Dynasty during this period of time really does not stand up to scrutiny.

With such a big commotion, if Li Yinhan really came to Western Zhou, Li Yi would definitely have found any trace of him. Fu Hongxuan asked, "Did you find Li Yinhan?"

Li Yi: "According to the spies' confession, they followed Li Yinhan to the post station and stayed there. Around noon, Li Yinhan and his men left and headed towards Liu Street. Then they lost him and disappeared without a trace."

Fu Hongxuan: "Li Yinhan didn't come into contact with anyone at the post station?"

Li Yi: "Yes, Madam Shen once went to Li Yinhan's room to deliver food."

Fu Hongxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mrs. Shen was captured by them?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "They don't seem to suspect Shen San."
