Baili Chen returned to the inn to rest for a while, before bringing a few guards to stroll around the streets of the capital. Baili Chen's outstanding appearance had also attracted the attention of quite a few women.
A guard beside Baili Chen came forward and said, "Second Prince, why don't we find a teahouse and have a seat?" Baili Chen glanced at the guard who spoke, and nodded in agreement.
The few of them walked into the biggest teahouse in the capital. There weren't many people in the teahouse, so the storyteller didn't mention it. Instead, it was the people in the hall who were discussing the disappearance.
When the guard heard that it was about something new, he immediately signaled to Baili Chen. Baili Chen immediately changed his direction of his steps, choosing a location that was not too close to those few people, but was able to clearly hear what they were saying.
"Ai, do you think that the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate has been missing for so long? Could he have died a long time ago?" A man said as he threw two peanuts into his mouth.
As soon as he finished his sentence, someone immediately answered, "Who knows? However, even if she was still alive, she probably wouldn't be able to come back. Who knew if she had been missing for so long, or if she had been … Hehehe! "
Baili Chen brought his teacup over and asked, "Brothers, what did you all want from the prime minister just now?" Baili Chen looked curious.
Originally, those people had their mouths broken. Baili Chen had already asked, so they were willing to say, "Young fellow, I see that you're very unfamiliar with this place. You must be from a foreign land, right?"
"That's right, we just entered the city yesterday and plan to do business in the capital." Baili Chen said with a smile.
"Let me tell you, this matter has to be started from a year ago. The young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate was unlucky, and was framed by his own sisters in the palace. On the way back to the palace, he actually encountered an assassination attempt, and the Prime Minister and the Sixth Prince searched the kingdom for several days, but couldn't find anyone. From then on, the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate disappeared.
That person told Baili Chen everything that happened without missing a word. Baili Chen shot a glance at the guard standing at the side, but seeing that he did not have any reaction, he said to that person, "Thank you, big brother. This plate of peanuts is for you."
The man picked up some peanuts and started talking to the man next to him. When Baili Chen walked out of the teahouse, he noticed that the guard's expression wasn't good so he immediately said, "Let's go, we're going back! "There's nothing to see!"
That night, Baili Chen's imperial bodyguard changed into a set of night clothes, and in a few flashes, he arrived at the Prime Minister's residence's Wutong Courtyard. It was said that ever since he had disappeared, Xiaolan had been sitting in his sparse room every night for a while.
Therefore, after hearing the commotion, Xiao Lan immediately stood up cautiously, shouting towards the sky, "Who is it!?" Hurry and show yourself! " Hearing this, the guard entered from the shadows.
He swept his gaze around the room, but didn't find anything strange. He then took off the black cloth that had been covering his face. If it wasn't here, he would have definitely recognized that this person was Xiao Yun Chen who had just left.
When Xiaolan saw this, her face was filled with shock. "Young Master!" "Why are you here?"
"I ask you, have you really been missing for a year?" Hearing Xiao Yunchen's words, Xiao Lan's smile instantly disappeared and her face was filled with worry, "That's right. "It's all my fault, if I had insisted on staying by Miss's side, then Miss might not have disappeared."
Xiao Yun Chen already knew what she wanted to know. She put on the black cloth again and left without stopping. Xiao Lan was thinking that since Xiao Yun Chen had already arrived, it would be quicker to find him.
On the second day, the diplomatic mission of the State of Liang had entered the palace early to pay their respects. On the way, they had presented the items they had brought from the State of Liang to the emperor.
It was just that although the items that the Liang nation had brought were incomparably precious, they were not very practical. Furthermore, they occupied a certain area. Even though the emperor was smiling on the surface, he had already started to curse in his heart.
After the end of the morning assembly, the Emperor sent Yu Yu along with another lord to take the ambassador of Liang Kingdom on a tour of the Imperial Palace.
Along the way, they did not talk much. They were all introduced to the envoy by the elder who was with them. Gradually, the sun rose.
Everyone was sweating as they walked. Xiao Yun Chen, who was pretending to be a guard, lifted his head and saw the red mole on it.
Xiao Yun Chen's eyes flickered. Along the way, he had observed Yu Yu and discovered quite a few familiar little movements. The corner of his mouth curled up.
After returning to the inn, Xiao Yun Chen immediately went to Baili Chen's room. When the python robed Baili Chen saw Xiao Yun Chen, he immediately stood up from his chair and greeted him, "Second Highness."
Xiao Yun Chen casually raised his hand. "There is no need to be so humble. It will prevent the people of Wu Country from finding out anything. When you go to see the Emperor tomorrow, the young miss of the Prime Minister's Palace will not be able to marry you."
Hearing that, Baili Chen immediately looked up in surprise. "But didn't the empress just say that we could steal Wu Country's military defense map?"
When Xiao Yun Chen heard this, he immediately became impatient. "Why are you being called alone? You can do whatever you want. Why do you care so much!" Upon seeing this, Baili Chen immediately nodded his head in agreement.
Walking out of the room, the corner of Xiao Yun Chen's mouth curled up. When he was in Wu Guo, he had heard about the marriage agreement. Now that it had disappeared for so long, he couldn't wait any longer.
What was even more interesting was that Yu Yu actually became Wu Country's Minister of Rites. He didn't know if the Sixth Prince knew that it was right under his nose. If he knew, it would be even more interesting.
For some reason, for the entire night, the Imperial Advisor's house was filled with lids that refused to budge no matter what, until the next day, when the Imperial Court was in the main hall, they didn't know why.
He then saw Baili Chen walk up to the Emperor with a warm smile, "Your Majesty, I have a request for you today!" The Emperor was interested.
"If you have something to say, Second Prince, just say it!" As long as I am able to do it, I will definitely satisfy the Second Highness. " Hearing this, the Emperor spoke in a rather generous manner. Since the Emperor had already spoken, Baili Chen naturally would not be courteous to him.
