C746 Princess Jing is a member of the Temple of Divine Artefacts

"What did you say?" What happened to Yan Yuan? "

She tugged on Qi Feng's sleeves with all her might as her entire body trembled.

"The Prince, he … After being plotted against, it is unclear whether we are dead or alive. "

Liu Ruo Qing's expression was extremely ugly as she stared at Qi Feng, unable to say a single word.

"Princess, this humble servant has sent people to search for the whereabouts of the Prince. Please calm down."

Qi Feng was just a subordinate, he didn't have any extra comfort to say. He only looked at Liu Ruo Qing's face that had lost all its blood, and her entire body that was trembling, and couldn't bear to see it.

Liu Ruo Qing bit her lower lip, trying her best to calm down.

Looking at her son's eyes that were filled with fear and uneasiness from her previous actions, she forcefully swallowed the tears that were in her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he asked, "What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor has already ordered the Sixth Prince to send people to find the whereabouts of the prince.

Liu Ruo Qing nodded silently, suppressing the fear in her heart.

Just a few days after the news of Yan Yuan's disappearance had spread to the middle of the imperial court, another news had arrived in front of Kaiser.

Meng Hui had safely returned, and what followed after, was a piece of news that Liu Ruo Qing would be unable to recover from at any time.

Yan Shuo looked at the hidden guard that he had previously sent to the northwest to save Meng Hui and her cold eyes condensed into a ball of ice. "Shen Ji Hall's teacher, is she the master of the Crown Princess Jing?"

"Yes."

When Yan Shuo went to the Dragon Gate Academy to look for Yun Jiao Rong, these secret guards had all been hidden in the shadows, protecting him not more than ten steps away. Thus, they naturally knew that Liu Qian Xun was Liu Ruo Qing's master.

As Yan Shuo listened to the reports of the hidden guards, many things suddenly became clear to him.

"Where's Mo Rong Tian?"

Yan Shuo asked with a cold expression.

"He is the commander-in-chief of the Shen Ji Hall."

Yan Shuo seemed to not be surprised at all. After hearing the dark guard's report, he only sneered, waved his hand, and dismissed the dark guard.

From the looks of it, Royal Uncle already knew of their identities. They are really my good Imperial Uncle, actually even concealing this sort of thing from him.

These secret guards were all here to protect Yan Shuo, so, they wouldn't cause trouble, so Yan Shuo didn't tell them anything.

Yan Shuo could see through some things, but he was still thinking about what he should do.

Ministry of Justice —

Yan Jue looked at the report in his hands, his face gloomy.

These few days, he had been in charge of gathering information related to the Shen Ji Hall, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find anyone who was even close to their core of power.

But now, when such a survey result was placed in front of him, it made him frown deeply.

Other than a copy of the investigation into the identity of the Shen Ji Hall's Young Master and Military Advisor, there was also a portrait of them.

This was something he had been thinking about for years, but now it was especially tricky.

"Your Highness, this …"

This man was one of Yan Jue's subordinates, who was promoted to become an elder. Although he was an official of the imperial government, he had always been grateful to Yan Jue for his help, and had always listened to his orders.

He knew that the Eighth Prince had a good relationship with the Crown Princess Jing, but now, it was obvious that the Crown Princess Jing was related to him. Once this relationship was exposed, the Crown Princess Jing would be in trouble.

"Let this king handle this matter. Don't say anything. You are not allowed to divulge the slightest bit of information to anyone. Do you understand?"

"Yes, this official will keep it a secret."

"You may leave."

"This official will take his leave."

After that person left, Yan Jue looked at the information in front of him and heavily slammed the table, "Old thing!"

Previously, he had always been unable to find out about anything related to the Shen Ji Hall, but now, he was easily able to get ahold of it. It was clear that this was information that Liu Qian Xun had purposely released in order to sow discord between Ol 'Nine and the Kaiser.

Looks like Liu Qian Xun really did not plan to let go of even his own disciple.

He picked up the portrait in front of him, lit it on the lamp, and threw it into the brazier.

A few days later, the imperial government received an urgent message from Hundred Miles City. The two hundred thousand strong army of the Shen Ji Hall in the northwest had already begun their journey south, and captured many cities. Other than that, the young master of the Shen Ji Hall and her identity as a strategist had also been exposed.

Yan Shuo looked at Yan Jue who was standing in the imperial study and snorted, "How long does your royal uncle plan on hiding the identity of Liu Qian Xun from us?"

Yan Jue frowned, and did not say a word.

He originally thought that he would be able to delay the release of the information after it was burned down that day, but he never expected that it would still be spread out.

He knew that his subordinates would not spread the news carelessly, it was very likely that Liu Qian Xun himself had released the news.

"Now, the entire dynasty knows Liu Qian Xun's identity, do you think, by hiding it from us, we can help Liu Ruo Qing?"

The fierce look on Yan Shuo's face made Yan Jue a little uncomfortable. He knew that because of Yun Jiao Rong's death, this nephew of his had changed a lot, but after hearing him call the "Ninth Aunt" as "Liu Ruo Qing", Yan Jue still could not accept it.

He was worried that what he had been worried about would happen.

"Someone, come!"

"This lowly general is here."

"Go to the King Jing Palace, and bring the Crown Princess Jing to the marble temple!"

"Yes."

After the Imperial Guards retreated, Yan Jue looked at Kaiser nervously and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Qian Xun's matter has nothing to do with Ruo Qing.

Yan Shuo looked coldly at Yan Jue, his cold eyes narrowing slightly. "All of you have kept this matter a secret from us, do you not think that we would be disappointed?"

Yan Jue opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but seeing Yan Shuo's face filled with anger, he changed it to muttering: "We are also afraid that you will be troubled in front of the court."

"What is it?"

Yan Shuo snappily snorted, "Since Liu Ruo Qing is related to the Shen Ji Hall, then she must have some ulterior motive to be by her side!"

"Your Majesty …"

Yan Jue anxiously retorted, "Ruo Qing didn't even know that Liu Qian Xun was the People from the Divine Artefact Hall, and this time, it is clearly Liu Qian Xun's chance. Don't be fooled."

"Separate strategy?"

Yan Shuo's lips raised with a tinge of ridicule, "Are we separating now, Ninth Uncle?"

His eyes narrowed deeply. Yan Jue realized that the gentleness of this young emperor had, at some point in time, begun to radiate from his body, and had become a little eerie and cold.

"Royal Uncle, what do you think Ninth Uncle would do if we did anything to Liu Ruo Qing? Rebellion? "

He raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile. However, that smile did not reach his eyes.

Yan Jue frowned his eyebrows, he was not used to Yan Shuo saying things like that. Up until now, there had never been any dukedom between them, so no matter how much power these few uncle Kaiser s held, he had never feared or suspected them.
