Chapter 256 Sneaky
If you ascend the throne first, when the master returns, there will be no place for the master in Dongli Kingdom. Please think twice before acting!"
You have to know that Xiao Jingchuan's current situation is not optimistic at all. After all, no one expected that not long after they left Dongli Kingdom, Emperor Shunqing fell into a coma. Although Emperor Shunqing responded in time and issued an imperial decree in advance to let the eldest prince and the third prince temporarily take charge of the government, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the eldest prince had already been unable to suppress the momentum of the third prince.
Now the eldest prince was frightened and fell off his horse, and is bedridden. The third prince's family is the only one in power. Now the master can be said to be facing wolves and tigers in front of him. If the master cannot handle it well, when he returns to Dongli Kingdom, he will probably have a hard time gaining a foothold!
Xiao Jingchuan naturally knew about Mu Yi's worries, but the situation was urgent and he naturally couldn't care less. As for the affairs of Dongli Kingdom, he believed that he could handle it. Thinking about the time when he left the palace, the emperor was in good health, it was obvious that there was something wrong with Emperor Shunqing's order. Moreover, he had so many people serving him, how could he be so easily calculated by others? Although he comforted himself in this way, he was still worried in his heart. Thinking of what he said to himself, a dim light flashed in Xiao Jingchuan's eyes.
At first, he hadn't thought about how profound this was, but now when he thought about it, his heart couldn't help but tremble! When he came back, the situation would be settled, and he would be able to make up for his debt to him! The situation was settled?
If he needed to use his life to make up for it, he really didn't need it! Xiao Jingchuan looked towards the direction of Dongli Kingdom and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could have some more time!
"Over at Dongli Country, have them send more people to protect His Majesty. With Xuan Wuhen here, I believe in his abilities and he will definitely not let me down!"
"Yes! I understand! I will pass this message to Palace Master Xuan as quickly as possible!"
Seeing that Xiao Jingchuan was determined to leave, Mu Yi could only agree. Fortunately, with Palace Master Xuan still around, he thought they would be able to hold on for a while. Now Mu Yi could only rely on Xuan Wuhen.
Xiao Jingchuan nodded slightly, thinking that Jiang Shuyu was still in Qi Mansion, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Qi Mansion. Seeing this, Jin Yue hurriedly followed Xiao Jingchuan closely, but Xiao Jingchuan was too fast. Even if she tried her best, she could not keep up with Xiao Jingchuan's pace. After a while, Xiao Jingchuan's figure disappeared, and Jin Yue could only rush towards Qi Mansion helplessly.
At this time, Jiang Shuyu and the others finally arrived at Qi Yuanfeng's residence after searching for a while. It was already late at night, but Qi Yuanfeng's residence was still brightly lit. A figure was faintly visible in the room. Although it was not clear, they knew that the person must be him.
The Qi Mansion is so big that if they search one room at a time, they will not have enough time. Only by finding Qi Yuanfeng will they have a chance to find him.
Fortunately, there weren't that many guards at Qi Yuanfeng's residence. It was just so late, and he didn't go to sleep. He was fiddling around here for a long time, and I don't know what he was doing! Could it be that the master was hiding in his room? Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. It wasn't impossible.
However, if he stayed in the room all the time, would they return empty-handed tonight? Before Jiang Shuyu could think about it, she saw the lights in the room go out.
Yun Juan's eyes lit up involuntarily. She looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, "Madam, the lights are out..."
Before Yun Juan could finish her words, Yun Chi quickly covered her mouth, and then he saw Qi Yuanfeng, who was supposed to be resting in the room, sneaking out!
Jiang Shuyu's eyes lit up with joy. Qi Yuanfeng was not sleeping in the middle of the night and was acting so sneakily. It seemed that he had some secret that he could not tell anyone. Could the secret that made him so alert be his master?
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyu's heart couldn't help but tighten. Looking at the dim room in front of her, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at Jinshu and said, "You two go to his room and take a look. If you don't find any clues, go back directly and don't come back. I want to see what Qi Yuanfeng wants to do!"
"Yes!"
Jinshu glanced at Yunjuan and saw her nod slightly, then agreed. Now that there was not much time left, acting separately would give them more hope.
Seeing Qi Yuanfeng had gone far away, Jiang Shuyu quietly followed him. Yun Chi naturally did not dare to be careless and kept paying attention to the surrounding environment. Fortunately, Qi Yuanfeng himself also avoided the servants in the mansion, so he did not encounter them along the way.
When they followed Qi Yuanfeng to a courtyard, Jiang Shuyu's eyes flashed with doubt. Qi Yuanfeng was familiar with the Qi Mansion, so he didn't look like a distinguished guest living here! It seemed that his identity was not simple!
Yun Chi looked at Jiang Shuyu's puzzled expression and quickly said, "Madam, this is the residence of the third son of the Qi family. I heard that he disappeared during the war, and no one has ever seen him alive or dead! The 100,000-strong army led by the Qi family was completely wiped out. I heard that it was due to General Qi's wrong decision. General Qi couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide to apologize! If Qi Yuanfeng is really the third son of the Qi family, then doesn't he become a deserter?"
In this case, Qi Yuanfeng is most likely the third son of the Qi family, Qi Wenbin!
If so, then it would explain why Concubine Qi trusted him so much, arranged for him to live in the Qi Mansion, and even allowed him to enter and leave the Eastern Palace to treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! It seems there is another motive behind this!
Listening to Yun Chi's words, Jiang Shuyu's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that Qi Yuanfeng's identity was not simple! Seeing Qi Yuanfeng suddenly disappear, Jiang Shuyu's eyes flashed with surprise. She hurried forward to Yun Chi and said, "Let's follow him and see what's going on. Is there another passage inside?"
Yun Chi did not expect that in just a blink of an eye, Qi Yuanfeng disappeared. He immediately walked in front of Jiang Shuyu, protecting her as they walked inside.
The Qi Mansion is full of dangers. Since his master asked him to protect the lady's safety, he naturally has to do it. No matter what, he will protect the lady's safety at the risk of his life!
Jiang Shuyu and the other person came to where Qi Yuanfeng had just stood and carefully observed the surroundings, but there was nothing unusual. Only the rockery in front of them revealed an unusual atmosphere. A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Shuyu's eyes, and she immediately came to the rockery and carefully explored it.
