The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

He Jingming still had a question in his mind. He had no idea who helped Xiao Wanyue escape.

It is impossible for He Liu and Xiaochun to succeed, as they were both knocked unconscious and they also found substitutes. Such a meticulous plan would not be successful without understanding their own deployment.

Unless Xiao Wanyue revealed everything about the villa to outsiders herself, how did they contact each other if they had any problems?

These are all problems, and the person who helped her must also know him.

Could it be someone from the Marquis' Mansion? Who could that be?

No one can stop him from looking for Xiao Wanyue.

Xiao Wanyue's identity should not be simple. Judging from the information found this time, other forces are also looking for her.

He called An San, who was He Jingming's stand-in and had great disguise skills, so he asked him to pretend to be himself.

He Jingming returned to Qin'an Hall and looked at the painting on the wall. The woman was fresh and bright. Why did he suddenly feel that he had seen this face somewhere before?

A certain scene flashed by and he didn't catch it.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Fu called him from outside: "Your Majesty, General Zheng has something to report!"

His train of thought was interrupted, and he said unhappily, "Let someone in."

Wang Fu: "General Zheng, please."

As soon as Zheng Pin entered, he bowed and greeted: "Your Majesty, your humble servant is here to see you!"

He Jingming: "Cousin, please don't be so polite!"

Zheng Pin: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He Jingming: "Cousin rushed here, but what happened?"

Zheng Pin: "There is indeed something. Sister Tiaodi disappeared on her way to the capital. Your Majesty, please send someone to look for her."

He Jingming: "When did my cousin go missing? Give all the information to He Chuan and ask him to look for her."

Zheng Pin: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Tiaodi left the General's Mansion a few days after you returned to the capital. I heard that she was heading towards the capital. We searched for her many times on the way back to the capital, but there was no trace of her."

He Jingming: "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely find my cousin. I will be out of the palace for a few days to look for her. I hope you can help take care of her."

Zheng Pin: "No, cousin, it's too dangerous. How about I go find it for you? Besides, you have a special identity. What if you encounter any danger?"

He Jingming: "Don't worry, cousin, just go to Yunzhou. You'll be back in a few days. Besides, I have to go on this trip."

Zheng Pin also knew that the emperor was determined to leave, and he could not change anything, so he could only protect the emperor well.

Zheng Pin left Qin'an Hall, leaving He Jingming alone in the room.

Wang Fu outside the door looked at the emperor with heartache. He felt that the emperor had suffered too much. He was born into a noble family and grew up in a wealthy family. He also loved reading and learning, and practiced martial arts from dawn to dusk, just to become the crown prince who could shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Concubine Shu and others plotted to murder the Queen, and the Fourth Prince poisoned His Majesty. In order to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he became the Fourth Prince's lackey, enduring humiliation and surviving to this day.

Fortunately, I did not disappoint the Queen Mother's last instructions and became His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's internal supporter in the palace.

When He Jingming saw Wang Fu, he didn't know what to say. He thought he was a traitor and wanted to kill him. Later he found out that he was saved by him. He felt indescribably complicated. Moreover, he was his mother's spy in the palace. He really misunderstood him.

Now that he is her eunuch, she doesn't know how to face him. After all, he is the queen mother's old man, and he has done her a favor. She can't bear to ignore him no matter what.

He Jingming was lying alone on the spacious empty bed, his thoughts drifting away. He and Xiao Wanyue had met in a dream, and they were so happy whispering in each other's ears. The love between them was so beautiful. All the troubles were thrown behind him, and there was only joy. Now that she was not in his dream, even the most distant mirage had disappeared.

The real first meeting should be when she came to the room and I took Chinese medicine, and then we met. Unexpectedly, she was like a cunning fox, knocked me unconscious and pretended nothing happened.

At that time, he said that he was determined and would not be trapped by love. He didn't expect that he was also worldly and was just an ordinary person.

The next day, after explaining everything, he left the capital, but unexpectedly met an uninvited guest.

Xie Yu was going to Cangzhou on business. There was an unsolved case in Cangzhou that needed him to handle. When he was leaving the city, he saw He Chuan. Xie Yu knew that He Jingming must have come out as well. He didn't know what he was going to do, but his curiosity was aroused to the peak.

So they followed He Jingming's carriage, but they were discovered before they had gone less than two miles. Moreover, the road to Cangzhou and Yunzhou was the same, and after Cangzhou was Yunzhou.

This was just a coincidence. Xie Yu insisted on following He Jingming. Xie Yu's team also had about a hundred people, disguised as a merchant caravan. Xie Yu was dressed like a rich man, wearing gold and silver, very extravagant.

He has the potential to be a nouveau riche, seems a little gullible, looks like a foolish young man from a wealthy family, and thinks he is quite handsome and elegant.

He Jingming saw from a distance that Xie Yu was like a colorful peacock, attracting the attention of many people, and he also had a shifty look in his eyes, which looked very funny.

He didn't want to pay any attention to this person, but he didn't expect that this person actually discovered his whereabouts, and he left Beijing secretly. He could only say that this person really had a dog's nose and could smell something like this.

Seeing him falling behind him from a distance, he was so annoyed that he asked someone to invite him over and asked, "Xie Yu, what are you following me for?"

Xie Yu said with a flattering look on his face, "Haha, I saw that the young master was heading towards Cangzhou, so I want to go to Cangzhou too. Unfortunately, the people I brought with me have weak martial arts skills and are unable to protect me. I came here to ask if I can go with you guys."

He only dared to call the emperor "Young Master". He did not reveal his identity and it seemed that he was on a secret visit. His subordinates did not know that he was the emperor. If there was an assassin hiding among them, it would be the end of him. After all, He Jingming was his cousin.

He Jingming sneered when he heard him say this: "Humph, I don't know what you are capable of, and your skills are so low, do you believe it yourself? What is going on? Why are you following me all the time?"

Xie Yu then explained his situation: "No, you asked me to investigate the wife-killing case in Cangzhou. This road leads to Cangzhou. I saw you going in this direction, so I followed you."

He Jingming: Okay, he misunderstood. He was indeed going to Yunzhou, which was the same route as Cangzhou, so it was just right that the two of them could travel together.

"Then follow from a distance."

Xie Yu: "Can't we go together? That way we can have someone to look after us."

He Jingming: "No."

Xie Yu's eyes widened. He didn't expect his cousin to be so ruthless.

He didn't care. Even if he was not allowed to follow, he insisted on going.

So He Jingming's team walked in front, and Xie Yu followed behind, forming a unique landscape.

He Jingming and his group pretended to be a bodyguard team. They were simple and low-key, and they really looked like a group of bodyguards. Many of them had seen blood and had murderous auras on them, and they really looked like bodyguards.

Under Xie Yu's insistence, He Jingming agreed to go with him, but he regretted it not long after.
