The letter sent by Flying Eagle was written in dense southern Xinjiang language, and Li Heng could not understand a single word.
"Your Excellency, what does the letter say?"
"The letter said that the map of the harem has been drawn 70% of the way, and maids from the southern border of the former palace are not allowed to enter. We need help from outside the palace."
Li Heng's face tensed: "Has the harem map been leaked?"
The air was stagnant for a moment, and the censor whispered, "Yes."
The commander of the Imperial Guard knelt and clasped his fists: "The Imperial Guard has failed in its duty. Please punish us, Your Majesty."
At this point, it is meaningless to blame anyone.
"Commander, please stand up. I will settle this account with you later. Right now, I have more important matters to attend to."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Heng looked at the portrait of Maierdan and asked, "People from southern Xinjiang have deep-set faces, so it's very difficult for them to sneak into the palace. Especially with Maierdan's scars, he's easy to recognize."
The Supervisory Censor replied, "The commander and I have analyzed the situation and believe that Mai Erdan probably hid in a grain cart."
This is extremely possible.
On the day Yao Wenchang was killed, it was late at night. He did not take the usual official road, but took a detour past the granary. Perhaps he accidentally ran into Maidan and suffered this disaster.
The cause and effect are now clear.
The wolfish ambitions of the people in southern Xinjiang have been revealed.
"Brother, what are your plans now?"
Li Zhao looked calm, and exuded the composure of someone in control of the overall situation.
"We have cut off the Southern Xinjiang people's communications. From now on, any eagle-borne messages they send out will be replaced by the Censorate. I want the King of Southern Xinjiang to let down his guard and think he knows everything about our dynasty. I have ambushed a large number of elite troops at the border. If the King of Southern Xinjiang dares to send troops, we will catch him in the act."
Li Zhao is determined to win this game.
Merge southern Xinjiang and unify the world.
Li Zhao will become the emperor with the greatest achievements in Taifeng.
"Fifth brother, for the time being, you will command the Imperial Guards and closely monitor the actions of the people of Southern Xinjiang. Remember, don't miss a single detail."
Li Heng has always admired his brother, the emperor. He knows Li Zhao's ambition and is willing to assist his brother in achieving his ambition of unifying the world.
The two brothers have experienced too much betrayal and death to climb to their current position. Only the other person can they trust and leave their backs to.
"I will definitely live up to your trust, my royal brother."

Yonghe Palace.
Ji Xingyao ran out of breath: "Ayuan, important information."
Wen Yuan was feeling lazy and dozing on the couch. When he heard Ji Xingyao's footsteps, he opened his eyes early.
The first thing that caught my eye was the purse in Ji Xingyao's hand.
"Where did you get the purse?"
"Oh, this one." Ji Xingyao tossed the purse onto the Huanghuali wood table without much concern. "Li Heng made another Double Moon Ring Star."
There is no need to guess what Li Heng's intention is.
Like Ji Xingyao, Wen Yuan did not pay much attention to this jade pendant.
"What important information did you just mention?"
"One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
Wen Yuan lowered his head and thought: "Bad news."
Ji Xingyao sighed: "You are under house arrest again."
Even though Wen Yuan is such a calm person, he couldn't help but get angry when he heard this bad news.
"Li Zhao changes his orders every day, he is going to be a tyrant."
Wen Yuan rarely criticized others. Although she did not love Li Zhao and was upset about Li Zhao's betrayal and making another woman the heir, it was undeniable that she admired Li Zhao's courage and decisiveness.
Wen Yuan had met several other princes of the late emperor Li Taiming.
No one can compare to Li Zhao, not even Li Heng.
Li Zhao was a natural leader, and Li Heng was a valiant warrior. The two brothers joined forces and were invincible.
When being bound by the system, Wen Yuan questioned the difficulty of the task.
After all, it was a shattering start, and the difficulty system was higher than the sky.
If it were Li Zhao, Li Heng would be useless and unable to change the outcome even if Wen Yuan and Ji Xingyao had golden fingers.
Li Zhao made almost no mistakes in any of his decisions.
Ever since Li Zhao inexplicably placed her under house arrest, Li Zhao's image in Wen Yuan's heart began to collapse.
Now there is another person who goes back on his word. Wen Yuan wonders if Li Zhao has been sitting on the throne for too long and has become a person she doesn't recognize.
Suddenly, Wen Yuan lost hope for another so-called good news.
Ji Xingyao observed her expression carefully and didn't dare to tell her the other news.
After waiting for a long time, neither of them said anything. Finally, Wen Yuan couldn't help but ask:
"Good news, tell me about it."
Ji Xingyao said with a weak voice: "Minister Xu has been found not guilty and will be released from the prison in a short time."
Wen Yuan laughed. This could be considered good news, after all.
"Did Eunuch Zhou say anything else?"
Ji Xingyao was a little hesitant about whether to tell Wen Yuan what Eunuch Zhou had said.
Wen Yuan didn't miss the hesitation that flashed across her face: "Why, what did Eunuch Zhou say?"
"Eunuch Zhou said that your ban will be completely lifted after you successfully give birth to the child."
What a “complete relief”, it’s like a nightmare.
The child will only become a shackle to kidnap Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan was not sure whether he would still be determined to leave after seeing the child.
A child without a mother is a weed.
No matter how noble the title is, a child without a mother is destined to have a miserable life.
This is also the reason why she insisted on not having children.
Perhaps it was the bond between mother and child, as the baby in her belly gently kicked Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan lowered his eyes, his eyelashes hiding the dark look in his eyes.
Seeing Wen Yuan unhappy, Ji Xingyao immediately said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh": "What I said just now doesn't count, pooh, pooh, pooh, don't be angry, Yuan, I said the wrong thing, just pretend I didn't say it, okay?"
Wen Yuan was certainly not angry with her, but the feudal shackles were firmly locked on her body, and as a modern person, she had no way to resist it with her own strength.
After finally taking a step forward, she was trapped again within the high walls and deep courtyard. The feeling of powerlessness made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.
She was kind of thinking about giving up.
After fighting for so long, I still can't escape my fate.
Ji Xingyao held her hand and passed the warmth of her palm to Wen Yuan.
"Ayuan, don't be discouraged, I think there is still a chance."
Wen Yuan has heard the word "opportunity" many times, but it always slips through his fingers.
"Really, I'm not lying to you, please believe me."
Ji Xingyao became anxious.
She blamed herself for not being able to speak, which made Wen Yuan lose confidence.
"Ayuan, I will definitely help you find a way to go home. Don't give up until the last moment, okay? I beg you."
Ji Xingyao was about to cry.
She knew very well the feeling of powerlessness, otherwise she would not have endured for three years before leaving.
The smile on Wen Yuan's lips was so faint that it was almost invisible: "Okay, I won't give up."
