After the family banquet, Xuanyuan Chen sent Xie Qingrong back to the general's estate and also returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.

In Prince Chen's Mansion's study, the Vermillion Bird was already waiting.

The only girl among the four hidden guards of the Vermillion Bird was extremely good-looking, but unfortunately, she was an icy beauty.

When the Vermillion Bird saw Xuanyuan Chen walking into the study, it immediately greeted him, "Vermillion Bird greets Your Highness."

Xuanyuan Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so courteous."

"The Vermillion Bird has something to report to your highness." The Vermillion Bird respectfully cupped its fists.

"Tell me about it." Xuanyuan Chen didn't even have the time to look at them, his hands constantly making tea.

"Your Highness, one of my spies in Chu Country has come to report. Chu Country is looking for something and is heading towards the middle. The Regent King of the Yue Country had not returned to the Yue Country yet, and this subordinate found out that the newly appointed emperor of the Yue Country was only an unfavoured little prince who looked to be around eleven to twelve years old. The Mo Bei's military is in a hurry, the food in the military is tight. " The Vermillion Bird said.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Chen paused in his brewing of the tea, his lips curling into a meaningful smile.

No wonder royal father hadn't dealt with the matter of the officials previously. How could the things that happened in the capital not be noticed by royal father?

Currently, the treasury is in short supply. To arrange such an urgent matter, it seems that it is not only a test for this king and Xuanyuan Jing, but also for the Mo Bei's food.

After reporting this, Zhuque Qi still stood at his original position with a bit of hesitation on his face.

Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen laughed: "Vermillion Bird, do you still have matters to attend to?"

The Vermillion Bird suddenly kneeled to the ground, "Your Highness, there is still one more matter that your subordinate does not know whether I should report or not. Perhaps your subordinate has seen wrongly."

In his heart, however, he was constantly perturbed. He was afraid that he had misjudged the situation and caused the prince to be overjoyed.

Xuanyuan Chen said with a bland smile, "Vermillion Bird, how long have you been following this king?"

"In reply to Your Highness, fifteen years. The Vermillion Bird and the other Dark Guard brothers have been following the prince since young. " The Vermillion Bird replied.

"In that case, you should know what sort of person This King is, right?"

Xuanyuan Chen had already brewed the tea, without hurry, he poured himself a cup of tea, which was filled with dense heat, making Xuanyuan Chen's handsome face look even more handsome and extraordinary.

After taking a light sip, he decided to leave the matter to the Vermillion Bird to decide.

As expected, the Suzaku only hesitated for a moment before saying, "This subordinate was going to come report to the king a few days ago. This subordinate has heard news from other places." It's just that a few days ago, when I was on my way back to the capital, I seemed to have met a man very similar to His Highness. "

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen's hand trembled, and the cup in his hand slipped out of his grasp, falling onto the ground with a crisp sound.

"Are you speaking the truth?"

Back then, when His Highness the Crown Prince of Heavenly Sage Kingdom, Xuanyuan Rui, fell down the cliff and died, he only found a body that was indistinct and the clothes on top of the body were all what Xuanyuan Rui was wearing that day, so everyone felt that Xuanyuan Rui had already died.

In an instant, the entire country was filled with grief.

Now that the Vermillion Bird had said that she had seen Xuanyuan Rui in the capital, Xuanyuan Chen only felt that he was hearing things.

"The Vermillion Bird dares not lie to Your Highness. Vermillion Bird did indeed see the figure of His Highness on the streets of the capital. A subordinate rode a horse carriage pass by, just in time to see the curtain of the carriage being blown by the wind. The subordinate hurriedly chased after the carriage. In the end, the carriage entered the left Prime Minister's Estate. Subordinate stayed there for a few days, but didn't see the man, so he gave up. Hurry back to the prince's mansion to report this matter to him. "

When the Vermillion Bird mentioned the Left Prime Minister's Estate, Xuanyuan Chen was initially excited to the point that his heart had instantly calmed down. His cousin Zhangsun Wenxuan actually resembled his royal brother a little, especially the side of his face.

Xuanyuan Chen frowned, and said: "Are you sure you saw it clearly? Wen Xuan's appearance is somewhat similar to Imperial Brother, could you have seen wrongly? "

The Suzaku respectfully said, "Your subordinate didn't see wrongly. Your subordinate isn't sure." However, this subordinate can guarantee that the man sitting on the horse carriage that day was definitely not Young Master Zhangsun. This subordinate has followed the prince for fifteen years, so it's impossible for me to not be able to differentiate between Young Master Zhangsun and His Highness. "

Xuanyuan Chen gave a light grunt, his calm voice without any emotion.

He waved his hand and dismissed the Vermillion Bird, then locked himself in his study.

He meticulously recalled the events that happened that year, not letting go of a single suspicious detail.

Back then, when his royal brother stood by the cliff and admired the sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun shone onto his body and gave him a layer of golden colored clothes. At that time, Xuanyuan Chen felt that his royal brother seemed to be about to leave him.

Indeed, the moment his royal brother waved his hand, a long arrow flew over from afar, thrusting straight towards his royal brother, bringing him into the face of the cliff.

Just as he was about to jump down with his royal brother, he was stopped by his men. He watched his royal brother fall off the cliff.

What entered his eyes was his royal brother's last smile, which was as brilliant as the morning sun. It was completely at odds with the setting sun.

When he finally reached base of cliff with his men, he saw his royal brother's badly mutilated body, with a long arrow in front of his chest.

He fell to his knees and burst into tears.

At that time, he swore that one day, he would kill everyone who was involved in this incident and help his royal brother along the way. Unfortunately, he couldn't touch the entire Right Prime Minister back then, which was why they had been able to be so arrogant to this day.

Xuanyuan Chen supported his forehead with his hands, a glint of light flashing across his eyes.

After Xie Qingrong returned to the manor, she washed up early and laid on the soft couch. Nuan Xiang and Warm Jade sat on both sides of him, fanning themselves with their fan.

The weather became increasingly hot, so Xie Qingrong ordered her men to bring some ice cubes over.

After breaking the ice, he placed it on a plate and told Nuan Xiang how to cool down the house.

"Nuan Xiang, use your fan to fan the ice cubes. Once the cold Qi from the ice cubes touches the fan, it will become much colder."

Nuan Xiang followed Xie Qingrong's instructions and felt that it was indeed cooler by quite a bit. After that, she fanned herself with the ice cubes in Xie Qingrong's room with Warm Jade, and in the end, the entire room became a bit cooler. At least, it wasn't as hot as it was before.

Xie Qingrong lay on the soft couch, feeling drowsy. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard familiar footsteps.

After Xuanyuan Chen entered the room, he made a silent gesture towards Nuan Xiang and Wen Yu. In the past, Xuanyuan Chen rarely came to the General's Estate at this time.

Even though the two of them had been bestowed marriage, they still had to avoid it. Just as Nuan Xiang was about to speak up, she was stopped by Xie Qingrong.

"Nuan Xiang, Warm Jade, the two of you may leave first." Xie Qingrong said.

Nuan Xiang was helpless, she could only leave with the warm jade.

Xie Qingrong frowned. Her body was covered in dust and there seemed to be a sense of tiredness and worry between her brows. Plus, she was so late, there must be something she needed her help with.

As for the things that needed to be avoided, as a modern person, she didn't have such thoughts in her mind.
