Inside the imperial study, Jun Qingshang and Jun Rushi were seated facing each other. The two of them had heavy expressions, as if they had met with some kind of trouble. Even Little De who was guarding the door could feel the heavy atmosphere inside.
"royal uncle, the Lan family seems to be out of control." Jun Rushi supported her little head and thought for a moment, then said: "The hidden guards went to investigate the reason, because the Lan family could not stay in the capital anymore and went to the Jin City to look for King Jing. And recently, I found out about the matter of the Three royal uncle secretly recruiting people, they probably want to establish their own sect in the Jin City!"
"Self-established sect?" Jun Qingshang scoffed, "Your thoughts are still too short-sighted. His ambitions are huge, and he is not just limited to establishing his own clan. Huang Teng's death is most likely related to him."
"By the way, Miss Yin has been found. I have ordered someone to hide her." "The person who found her said that even though she was unconscious, she wasn't injured. She only knew of the sounds of fighting, and it seemed that these people weren't ordinary bandits, because they wouldn't keep quiet."
Not a bandit? Jun Qingshang nodded his head, if it was a bandit, Huang Teng would not have died so miserably, and now that there was nothing left of him, one could imagine how much hatred this person had towards him. Jun Qingshang propped his chin up as his mind flashed with that enchanter-like face. His gaze darkened slightly as he said, "Send someone to watch Yue Ling's every move. Yue Ling might have something big going on recently."
"Yes!" Jun Rushi slapped his brain, "Huang Teng is dead, the position of crown prince is vacant, and the prince with the most potential is going to fight to the death with you, now there's a good show to see."
Jun Qingshang rolled her eyes at him as she continued, "First get rid of Jun Qingfeng and Jun Qingling. It's better if Yue Ling knows how to take our lives as a joke."
"Recruiting soldiers and horses should be done by changing their positions. Once This Emperor finds the evidence, I will let them guard the Royal Tomb!" Jun Rushi nodded seriously: "Royal Grandfather is lonely in Huang Ling, of course there will be people accompanying him."
Jun Qingshang nodded his head, that was a good idea, but how could he grab hold of Jun Qingfeng's weakness? It was not that Jun Qingshang did not believe in his nephew's words, it was that Jun Qingfeng was cunning, and was not easy to deal with. On top of that, Jun Rushi did not have any real power, and the actual power was basically in his and the two assistant ministers' hands.
Jun Qingshang held two-thirds of the Heavenly Enlightenment's troops, so there was no need to be afraid of Jun Rushi, because the remaining third of the troops were in his own hands, the civil and military forces were separated, while the generals were on Jun Qingshang's side, after all, the title of Heavenly Awakening War God was not earned for nothing. With the Prime Minister leading the group towards the emperor, and the Imperial Tutor leading the group toward Jun Qingfeng, it was only a matter of time before the official would start a war of words. The situation escalated to its climax, giving Jun Qingfeng and Jun Rushi headaches.
"Send people to investigate this matter in secret first. This King will go investigate about Huang Teng." Jun Qingshang massaged the space between his brows, "In the near future, this duke will probably not enter the palace much. If there's anything, bring a smart person to my residence."
Hearing that, Jun Rushi curled his lips: "With Imperial Aunt, I won't help Xuan'er anymore. royal uncle really values women more than friends!"
"Minister’s Mansion and the Lan family are enemies together. You must be careful." Jun Qingshang ignored Jun Rushi's teasing, waved his hand, and left with a word of advice.
The little Emperor looked at the empty doorway and sighed, "The royal uncle treats Imperial Aunt so well."
The moment Jun Qingshang walked out of the imperial study, An Ying came over and greeted him. He whispered a few words into Jun Qingshang's ear, and Jun Qingshang's brows slightly knitted.
"I haven't seen the wangfei, only Young Master Yi." An Ying didn't understand why Young Master Yi came out to look for the wangfei when it was obvious that Yun Shicheng was looking for her.
Jun Qingshang nodded, he did not ask, and naturally did not give An Ying an answer. The master and the servant duo walked together.
Yue Ling's imperial city had been thrown into chaos for a long time, and the imperial court was in an even greater mess. However, from the beginning to the end, no one had seen the image of the Phoenix Diagram, which made those who suspected him to be deep in thought.
"Something has happened to His Highness the Crown Prince in the Forest of Death, which is next to the two countries. This matter must have been done by Heaven."
"Since Heaven's Enlightenment agreed to send a lady to our country, they have no intention of becoming enemies with us!"
"Just a deceptive trick!" Using an unfavoured girl to exchange for our princess, Heaven's Enlightenment made a good plan! "
"Everyone, who would benefit the most without the crown prince? The Heavenly Awakening Realm is a place with endless internal troubles, and they still have the mood to become enemies with us? "
When these words were spoken, everyone shut their mouths. Although the Heaven's Enlightenment seemed calm, the truth was that the waves had been raging inside for a long time. It was only the calm before the storm.
Forest of Death was a place that neither country could control. The land was not under the jurisdiction of the two countries, but the bandits here were not fools. They could not destroy the friendship between the two countries for no reason, and this was not a good thing for them.
After Jun Qingshang returned to the Regent’s Mansion, he locked himself in the study room. There were several times when he visited the study room, but he was informed that he needed to discuss some matters with a few ministers.
Jun Qingshang, who had always accompanied Yun Ruoleng, arrived at the Water Spirit Pavilion in the middle of the night for the first time. When he entered the door, he saw Yun Ruoleng sitting on the soft couch, holding onto his head with one hand.
Jun Qingshang took a deep breath. He really wanted to take her on the spot, but when he thought about how she was pregnant, he had no choice but to endure it. He sat by her side and pulled her into his embrace.
"The child said he misses you." Yun Ruoleng then twisted the hair that was on Jun Qingshang's shoulders and wrapped it around his finger: "Has Your Highness met with any trouble?"
"The boy said he was sleepy." Jun Qingshang chuckled as he held her horizontally and gently placed her on the bed: "Don't be distracted by other matters, you still need to rest even if you don't want to sleep with your child."
"Qinghu, I actually have a way to solve the Huang Teng murder case."
Yun Ruoleng loosened the hair on her hands, then pulled Jun Qingshang who was about to leave: "I want to fight alongside you, not live hiding under your wings. I am not a pampered young lady, but the Blessed Virgin, for I have the power of the divine. I have a responsibility to do this, too. "
Yun Ruoleng's words caused Jun Qingshang's expression to become slightly serious. However, after thinking about it, he still shook his head and rejected her idea, pulling down his small hand: "Sleep first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
With his words, she understood that there was nothing to talk about anymore, so Yun Ruoleng did not give up. The morning of the next day, she found a pen and wrote down a series of things on a white paper. After writing it down, she passed the paper to An Yue and had him deliver the things into his hands.
