The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the palace.

Fu Jiuli picked up his wife, who was sleeping soundly, and carried her sideways in his arms, then walked in steadily. Halfway through, he remembered something and called out, "Leng Feng."

Following a sound of breaking through the air, Leng Yue half-knelt on the ground: "Master!"

Fu Jiuli asked calmly, "Where's Leng Feng?"

"Leng Feng said earlier that he had something urgent to deal with, so he left at Shen Shi."

Fu Jiuli nodded casually: "Go down."

Then he carried his wife to the bedroom, washed her body, changed her clothes, and covered her with bedding. During the whole process, his wife did not wake up once.

No wonder the lady has been feeling sleepy lately. It turns out that even though she has his child, he still torments her like that...

Fu Jiuli looked at his wife's sleeping face, leaned over and kissed her forehead, his heart filled with tenderness and guilt: "Madam, you have worked hard."

After settling his wife down, Fu Jiuli went to the study and started writing on a blank piece of rice paper.

Letter of resignation.

It detailed the current progress of all important unfinished matters and the subsequent arrangements. Finally, he explained that he only wanted to live a leisurely life with his wife, so he requested to resign and retire, and earnestly asked Your Majesty to agree.

After a careful inspection, Fu Jiuli put down his pen.

Over the years, His Majesty and the Sixth Prince have valued him, given him great power, and trusted him. Although he knew his identity as the Second Prince of Xining, he never thought of leaving North Vietnam.

Firstly, North Vietnam was where she was buried, and he was reluctant to leave. Secondly, he had always thought he was a eunuch...

But it’s the time and the situation.

He couldn't let his wife take even the slightest risk, especially since they now had a child...

North Vietnam cannot be left alone.

While he was pondering, his eyes suddenly flashed and became sharp.

"cold night!"

Leng Ye appeared swiftly, his eyes blazing. "Master, all the Phoenix Guards in the capital have gathered, led by Shura, and are stationed on the hills ten miles outside the city, awaiting orders at any time. All the secret guards have also been recalled."

Fu Jiuli's eyes darkened slightly. "Are all the secret guards in the mansion?"

"Yes! I have counted three times, and all the secret guards are in the mansion."

Before he could finish his words, Leng Ye suddenly frowned when he met his master's cold gaze. "Except Leng Feng, no one else has returned yet. Leng Yue said he went to take care of something important, so he should be back soon."

Fu Jiuli's eyes were cold: "He left at 5 p.m., where were my wife and I at that time?"

"On... on the way to the courtyard outside Beijing..." Cold sweat suddenly seeped out of Leng Ye's forehead: "No, Master, this must be a coincidence, Leng Feng can't possibly..."

"He didn't have any urgent matters on hand, so he left without permission while on guard." Fu Jiuli stood up and said, "Take action in advance!"

Leng Ye looked solemn: "Yes!"

......

In the middle of the night, the streets of the city were silent except for the night watchmen.

Suddenly, the sound of thunderous footsteps rang out on the long street, and a long team of infantrymen holding torches lit up half of the sky in the capital.

Leading the team at the front was Shi Lei, the Minister of War.

When they were still three miles away from the palace, Shi Lei raised his hand to signal the team to stop and gave a loud order:

"Once we arrive at Prince Li's mansion, you will immediately surround the entire place and not let even a fly out. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Although the infantrymen did not understand why Lord Shi had to explain it again when it was clearly a routine matter, they still responded in unison.

Shi Lei raised his hand again and waved it forward, and the infantrymen began to run in an orderly manner again.

After a while, the infantry team arrived at the gate of the palace.

The gate to the palace is closed at this moment.

With a gesture from Shi Lei, the infantrymen dispersed in an orderly manner and surrounded the entire Li Wang Mansion tightly, leaving only a team of 100 people following behind Shi Lei without moving.

Shi Lei stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting, "Shi Lei, the Minister of War, has been ordered to arrest the current Prince of Li, Fu Jiuli. Open the door!"

There was no movement in the mansion.

Shi Lei knocked on the door again and repeated the sentence, but still no one answered.

The deputy came over and suggested, "Master Shi, just break down the door! In my opinion, Fu Jiuli must have realized that his sins were grave and he was doomed. He's so frightened that he doesn't dare to open the door."

Shi Lei's eyes darkened as he swung his hand and knocked his deputy to the ground. "Stop talking nonsense! His Majesty hasn't convicted you yet, so how can you let him talk nonsense and frame the current prince?"

The deputy climbed up, clutching his stomach. His eyes were filled with anger, but he dared not vent it. He could only bow his head and apologize: "Master Shi is right. It was a slip of the tongue."

Shi Lei ignored him and listened attentively for a moment. There was indeed no movement in the mansion.

He raised his hand and gestured: "Break the goal!"

The centurions behind him immediately rushed forward and broke the gate open with brute force.

Shi Lei led his men in and rushed in: "Search!"

royal palace.

Xie Heng was soundly asleep when Xiao Zhuzi woke him up. He sat up impatiently and said, "Xiao Zhuzi, could you please stop making noise? If you have anything to say, can't you wait until I wake up to talk?"

Xiao Zhuzi was extremely anxious: "Oh my dear, something terrible has happened!"

Xie Heng rubbed his eyes, still sleepy, his brows full of impatience: "It better be a big deal, otherwise this prince will punish you by making you stand, understand?"

"Taifu Xu said that this prince is still growing and needs to get enough sleep..."

"Something happened to the Nine Thousand Year Old!"

"What?" Xie Heng jumped up, all sleepiness gone.

His eyes widened and he grabbed Xiao Zhuzi's collar: "Tell me again, who's in trouble?"

Before Xiao Zhuzi could answer, he continued, "How could anything happen to Prince Li? He is so powerful. In North Vietnam, apart from my father, who can bully him? He has always been the one bullying others..."

"Are you kidding me? This kind of thing is no joke!"

Xiao Zhuzi sighed, "It is His Majesty who wants to kill him. I am afraid that the army has already surrounded Prince Li's palace."

"Why? Why did Father want to kill him? He made so many contributions to North Vietnam. Is Father getting senile?"

"Nine thousand years old... he is not a eunuch..."

"What?" Xie Heng was shocked, but then his eyes lit up and he jumped up happily: "That's great! Then he can have a baby with Sister Nanxing!"

Xiao Zhuzi was both angry and amused: "Nine Thousand Years Old has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Xie Heng's excited expression suddenly froze.

Yes, Prince Li was not a eunuch, yet he held the highest position among eunuchs, holding great power, second only to the emperor and above all others...

Putting aside the crime of deceiving the emperor, with the emperor's strong suspicion, Prince Li is likely to be in great danger.

"Let's go! Find our father!"

Xie Heng grabbed the clothes on the screen, put them on randomly, and ran out.
