Regarding Chu Yixuan's question, Jun Zibi was extremely shocked, Feng Qingmo and his mother could actually be titled as the later generation? Was their mother in the palace?
Qi Yu scoffed. She was not the real Xu Rouzhi, so she was obviously not Cheng Wan's daughter. Then, forget about becoming the empress dowager, even if Cheng Wan became the empress dowager, it had nothing to do with her.
Princess Hua-Yang's was just a title, why would she care so much?
Of course, she wouldn't mind, but Chu Yixuan would definitely mind if he invited her.
Qi Yu turned and looked at Chu Yixuan: "Then, do you plan to use me as a hostage to fight against the new Eastern Palace Clan?"
Jun Zibi frowned, and looked at Chu Yixuan: "You can't be?"
However, Chu Yixuan said lightly, "I do."
What the heck!
Do you have to be so frank?
Chu Yixuan wanted to use Qi Yu as a hostage, so of course Jun Zibi would not agree to it. Just as he was about to lead Qi Yu away, Qi Yu's hand fell into her own.
"This King's own woman should be protected by This King himself!" Chu Yixuan's tone was light, and a gust of wind blew past Jun Zibi's clothes, slashing the back of his hand.
Jun Zibi was startled, and his face darkened: "Whether I leave or stay, it would be best for the girl to decide for herself!"
Girl?
Chu Yixuan slowly halted his steps and turned his head around. Is that what you called me? "
Jun Zibi refused to be outdone: "Or, I can also call her Little Sister Rou."
Chu Yixuan's face changed, as he helplessly raised his hand to stop the two: "Alright, alright! Brother Jun, you go first, go and see what is going on with Feng Qingmo. Also, where is Bi Su, you have to find her.
Jun Zibi looked at Qi Yu, then looked at Chu Yixuan, "Don't bully her."
Otherwise, he would really bring Qi Yu away, and see if he, Chu Yixuan, would believe it or not.
As he silently watched Jun Zibi's leaving figure, with a "sou" sound, Jun Zibi's figure shot up from the ground, flying towards the roof of the hall.
His figure was really fast! Even Lu Ming would not be able to catch up to him!
It looks like it was true that Jun Zibi said that he escaped really quickly.
Chu Yixuan turned his head to look at Qi Yu and released her hand. His expression became cold: "Alright, Uncle Lin, let the kitchen prepare some food for my wangfei. Call Warm Xiang over and properly serve my wangfei's meal. This King has matters to attend to and needs to make a trip outside. "
And even called Warm Xiang to look at her? Qi Yu tugged on Chu Yixuan's sleeves: "Hey, where are you going?"
Chu Yixuan expressionlessly swept his gaze over her and said: "I still have matters to take care of."
"Is it about Feng Qingmo?" Qi Yu asked.
"Why?" Chu Yixuan's brows slightly knitted, "What are you trying to defend him for?"
"This definitely isn't his intention. I feel that all of you shouldn't turn into hostile positions …"
Chu Yixuan interrupted Qi Yu: "How long have you known each other? Do you know him well? "
Qi Yu was startled: "Long... "It might not be long, but …"
"Not long? "Then don't judge a person so easily." Chu Yixuan's tone was rather cold, "You might not even be able to see through someone who has known you for more than ten years, yet you dare to believe in a stranger who you just met?"
A stranger? Feng Qingmo is not a stranger …
He's Xu Rouzhi's big brother, and even Chu Yixuan's big brother, isn't he?
Qi Yu walked out of the room in a daze as she walked into the bright sunlight, and gradually disappeared. Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw Warm Xiang's pleasantly surprised face.
"The wangfei is finally back!" Warm Xiang was truly overjoyed.
Qi Yu just wanted to know, where did Chu Yixuan go?
— —
Chu Yixuan did not leave the Duke Palace.
He stood silently by the entrance to the tunnel in Eight Treasures Pavilion's woodshed.
Lu Ming extended his hand out to flip the switch, but, nothing happened.
Suddenly, a muffled sound rang out from underground. Soon after, a wave of dust rose up from the tunnel entrance. Then, it slowly calmed down and returned to tranquility.
The floor tiles covered by the tunnel entrance remained motionless.
Lu Ming was startled, he raised his head and looked at Chu Yixuan: "Duke, it seems like the secret passage has been sealed!"
As expected!
Chu Yixuan frowned slightly. Just as the selection for the New East Palace was confirmed, the Seven Treasures Division underground passage was sealed.
Of course, the only thing sealed off was the entrance to the Prince Qi Palace. After all, there was still a time when the Seven Treasures Division could be used on the underground passage network.
In other words, only the Prince Qi Palace was isolated from the Seven Treasures Division's underground network.
Then, shouldn't they cut off all contact between the Seven Treasures Division and him? Actually, since the year before, when the emperor picked the candidate for the main division for Seven Treasures Division, the emperor had started to shift the right to the use of Seven Treasures Division, intentionally or unintentionally. Now, with the new candidate for the east palace, the emperor had a more preferred candidate to be the storage king, and the Seven Treasures Division had officially cut off contact with the Prince Qi, so after that, the authority to manage Seven Treasures Division should be handed over to the east palace.
Chu Yixuan silently turned around and walked out of the woodshed, and stood under the veranda. He silently raised his head, and looked at the bright and beautiful sun in the distant horizon.
Lu Ming stood sorrowfully behind Chu Yixuan, looking at Chu Yixuan's lonely back, his heart feeling sharp pain.
Is this the tempo of a prince abandoning his son?
The Duke obviously had the chance to turn the situation around, but now, Feng Qingmo had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Not only would he no longer have the chance to correct his identity, he might even be deprived of the chance to live a peaceful life in the future.
No, why did this happen...
It's not fair.
His Royal Highness was also the Emperor's son. The Emperor shouldn't treat his own son this way.
They were both of their own blood, so why was it that some people were treated as treasures in their hearts, while others were always looked down upon like a blade of grass?
"Can I still contact Mou Qing?" After being silent for a long time, Chu Yixuan asked.
Lu Ming immediately replied: "Yes, Mou Qing said he will come again to see the Duke at night."
Chu Yixuan turned around, "Alright then. Wait until night. "
"Shouldn't we go to the palace to congratulate the new crown prince?"
"I haven't taken my medicine yet."
His tall figure slowly walked towards the study. His back was firm and cold, without a trace of loneliness to be seen.
Lu Ming was startled and followed him.
— —
Although he promised Qi Yu, Jun Zibi still could not see him. In broad daylight, he could not possibly fly over the walls and treat the palace as though it was no one's home.
Jun Zibi decided to wait until tonight.
When the moon is dark and the wind is high, anything is fine.
At this moment, Jun Zibi decided to look for Bi Su first.
Since she hadn't heard that Bi Su had followed Feng Qingmo into the Imperial Palace, then Bi Su must still be outside the palace. Feng Qingmo had followed Xu Chang into the palace, so there was a possibility that Bi Su was in Xu Chang's residence.
Although entering the Imperial Palace in broad daylight was inconvenient, there was still a chance for him to enter the Xu Mansion.
The Xu Family backyard was rather quiet, with thick and dense trees extending out of the walls, just in time to give Jun Zibi a chance to climb over the walls and enter. After looking left and right to see that no one was in the alleyway, Jun Zibi flew up onto the tree and hid himself inside the tree crown. Taking advantage of the guard at the back door being caught unawares, he quietly jumped in and fell into a corner under the porch.
But, where could Bi Su be?
Jun Zibi needed to find them one by one. And then, they discovered something strange — — Why were there so few guards at Xu Family?
Other than the two who were dozing off at the back door, there seemed to be no one else! The entire Xu Family courtyard was empty, as though it was an empty city, frighteningly quiet and sinister to the extreme!
Jun Zibi subconsciously shivered. Could it be that Xu Chang knew that Feng Qingmo knew of his situation and was afraid that Feng Qingmo would expose his crimes, so he ran away?
— Jun Zibi had never heard of the relationship between Xu Chang and himself. He had only heard Feng Qingmo say that he found his parents, and even his own sister.
Of course, Feng Qingmo had also mentioned a few words to him before about Xu Chang provoking strife between the three princes and the matter of the three princes being maimed together. However, being smart as hell, when he heard Chu Yixuan talk about Qi Yu, Feng Qingmo and his mother being thought as empress, Jun Zibi realized what was the problem …
So Feng Qingmo's mother was in the palace? Besides, he might have feelings for the Emperor even if he was by his side?
Thinking about the relationship between Xu Chang and his father, Jun Zibi felt chaos in his heart as well.
So it turns out that the Crown’s Master's concubine was actually together with the Emperor. No wonder the Crown’s Master wanted to be the center of attention, even men wouldn't be able to accept this. If something like this happened, most people would choose to take revenge!
There was still a small group of people who might choose to swallow their anger, and this Crown’s Master, after enduring it for more than ten years, was about taking revenge on the emperor. Ten years later, they would shoot at the same time, causing both the princes and the emperor to die or be injured.
Jun Zibi was worrying about where to go to find Bi Su, but at this time, the Xu Mansion door was slammed open.
The countless sounds of horse hooves, the colliding of weapons, and heavy footsteps surrounded the Xu Mansion.
"This humble subject is Xu Chang, quickly come out and receive your defeat!" There was someone shouting outside the door. That voice was extremely imposing and frightening.
A few sparrows that had landed in the yard in search of food were scared stiff and flew into the air. Then, a large number of soldiers holding onto blades and spears, rushed into the Xu Mansion.
The new commander of Ji City, Chang De, stood at the foot of the hall and roared majestically, "Carefully search through every crack!"
Of course, the soldiers didn't dare to be careless. The main hall, side rooms, side rooms, bedrooms, even the kitchen, servants rooms, and doors were all knocked open. However, he did not see a single person.
The last to be caught in front of General Chang De were two drowsy guards who rubbed their eyes in amazement.
"Where is your master, Xu Chang?" Chang De asked harshly, directly shattering the guards' defenses from the momentum.
The two gatekeepers fell to their knees with a "plop" sound as they cried out, "Please spare our lives, sir soldier! I drank two more mouthfuls of wine in the afternoon and passed out at the back door. I really don't know anything, I really don't know anything!"
Chang De's men immediately went over and fanned the two gatekeepers. They sniffed and revealed expressions of disgust, "My lord, it's the smell of alcohol. It smells extremely bad, I'm afraid we've drunk quite a bit."
Chang De couldn't help but frown. "Since you don't know anything, you can just throw it into the well!"
"Milord, have mercy! Milord, have mercy!" The two gatekeepers quickly kowtowed while crying, "This little one really doesn't know where the Crown’s Master went. Please spare my life, milord …"
Chang De's subordinate rushed over and bowed respectfully: "My Lord, even though the Xu Family seems to still be there, the gold and silver have all disappeared without a trace. I'm afraid that this disobedient Xu Chang has already taken away all the money and escaped in fear of his crimes."
