C164 Beijing Blood Case (5)

As the sky gradually darkened, Feng Yu couldn't help but worry a little when she saw that Xuanyuan Zhan still hadn't returned even at such a late hour.

"Mother, are you worried about the Uncle Battle-King?" Seeing that Feng Yu was still uneasy today, Dou Dou looked out of the door from time to time. The smart little Dou Dou quickly understood that his mother was worried about the Uncle Battle-King.

"Mother, don't worry, Uncle Battle-King will probably be back soon. Besides, he's so powerful."

Even though it was like this, the capital had been very restless the last two days. Feng Yu could not help but be a little worried.

"Uncle Battle-King." Dou Dou saw Xuanyuan Zhan's figure from afar and ran out happily.

As expected, Feng Yu saw Xuanyuan Zhan's figure where he followed Dou Dou. Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but feel touched when he saw Feng Yu and Dou Dou waiting for him outside the door. Feng Yu couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache when she looked at Xuanyuan Zhan's exhausted appearance.

Xuanyuan Zhan held Dou Dou in his arms from afar. Dou Dou, you miss your uncle? "

"Yes!" Dou Dou said, "Dou Dou hasn't had a lot of Uncle Battle-King to play with for three days."

"Uncle Battle-King has some very important things to do in the next few days, wait a few days, can Uncle Battle-King and Mother accompany Dou Dou properly?"

"Fine." Dou Dou bit his lips in displeasure, but Dou Dou was very sensible and knew that Uncle Battle-King was very busy the next two days. Furthermore, his mother seemed to be very busy as well, but Dou Dou very obediently didn't insist on pestering Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu.

"Has Dou Dou been cultivating properly these past two days?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.

"Of course, Master even praised Dou Dou for being smart." Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's question, Dou Dou was overjoyed and couldn't help but show off.

Feng Yu looked at the loving interaction between the two of them and couldn't help but feel that this kind of life wasn't too bad.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the Battle King Manor s. After returning to the residence, they used the dinner and instructed Wan Er to bring Dou Dou to sleep, while Feng Yu went to Xuanyuan Zhan's study.

Inside the study room, Xuanyuan Zhan was pondering over the clues he discovered today. He suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. He raised his head and saw that it was Feng Yu.

"You came back so late today, did you investigate the Xing Family and Zou Clan's case?" Feng Yu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan with a trace of heartache, thinking that he had been too tired these past few days and hadn't had a proper rest at all.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Zhan stood up from his desk and walked in front of Feng Yu. "Yesterday, an assassin appeared in the Mu Estate."

"What?" Feng Yu said in surprise. " That Qing Er and Mu Ming are injured. "

"I didn't. Shangguan Qinger just happened to be back at the Clear Jade Pavilion two days ago. Mu Ming had practiced martial arts since she was young and hadn't suffered any injuries. Furthermore, there's only one assassin and that's for Mu Ming. " Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"How could this be? Have you found out who the assassin is?" Feng Yu asked.

"No, the assassin committed suicide when Mu Ming captured him." "Nothing." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"Is that even possible? The assassin who assassinated Mu Ming and the group of assassins that killed the Zou family and Xing Family were one and the same." Feng Yu felt that the sudden appearance of an assassin to assassinate Mu Ming was suspicious, so she voiced out her doubts.

Although they did not know who the other party was, but these two days, the capital city was a eventful time. At a time like this, they dared to kill people blatantly, and even the group that killed Xing Family and the Zou family was not something that Xuanyuan Zhan could think of. At this point of time, there was no one who would dare to lay a hand on the influential officials and nobles in the capital city.

"That's right, Mu Ming and I discovered something suspicious while investigating …"

Xuanyuan Zhan told Feng Yu about what happened today in the underground ice cellar of the Hall of Punishment.

Returning to his room, Feng Yu recalled the details that Xuanyuan Zhan told him today and felt that the head steward of the Hall of Punishment was extremely suspicious. It seemed that he needed to send someone to investigate him.

Although Xuanyuan Zhan had always felt that this matter was too dangerous, and he didn't want Feng Yu to get involved because of him, he knew that his woman wouldn't be so obedient. Although Feng Yu didn't say anything, Xuanyuan Zhan had already felt that Feng Yu was secretly trying to investigate and wanted to help him, so every time Feng Yu asked him about the progress of the investigation over the past two days, Xuanyuan Zhan would tell Feng Yu without reservation.

Firstly, he hoped that Feng Yu wouldn't worry about him, and secondly, he knew that if he hid it from Feng Yu, she would still secretly investigate by herself. Rather than letting her spend her energy to investigate in secret and worry about him, why couldn't he be more honest with them? Since he had chosen her, then wouldn't he have to continue on with his happiness and suffering?

Wasn't this what Feng Yu was thinking in her heart as well?

After the morning assembly, Xuanyuan Zhan was preparing to leave and had just arrived at the Xuanyuan Martial Gate.

"Please wait, His Majesty the Battle-King." The distant Xuanyuan Zhan heard the sound of someone calling him, and turned around to see that it was actually the Chief Eunuch and Eunuch Qin beside royal father.

"I wonder what's in Eunuch Qin?" Xuanyuan Zhan did not like this Eunuch Qin who only knew how to flatter and flatter others. Seeing that he had stopped him, he naturally did not have any good expression. he asked coldly.

Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's cold voice, the Eunuch Qin couldn't help but shiver. "But when I think of how I came here with the Imperial Mandate, my courage immediately increases." About this, the emperor invites the His Majesty the Battle-King and the imperial study to reply. "Please!" With the emperor's backing, he grew even more daring.

"Father is looking for me?" Xuanyuan Zhan raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, His Majesty the Battle-King will know after he goes to take a look." The eunuch spoke in a strange tone.

Within the imperial study.

"This son greets royal father." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"No need. You can't afford to pay your respects to your father. Do you still have a father like me in your eyes?" Xuanyuan Mo roared.

How would Xuanyuan Zhan know what kind of temper Xuanyuan Mo had towards him? Ye Zichen was confused.

"This son does not know what was wrong with him, causing father to be so angry." Xuanyuan Zhan asked.

"You still don't know?" Xuanyuan Mo was even more furious now. He had done something wrong, but he did not know it yet. Unavoidably, he felt a little unhappy. "Alright, I'll tell you today, are you threatening the crown prince?"

"When have I ever threatened the crown prince?"

"Hmph, yesterday Yan Fei told me that you threatened Lord Xing and Lord Zou to go to the Zou family and Xing Family two days before they were exterminated." Xuanyuan Mo said, "The crown prince is still the crown prince, you just have to be clear about your identity as a prince, what's more, we were the ones who asked the crown prince to consult with Lord Xing and Lord Zou on how to govern the country, so we can learn from the two lords. It's not up to you to discipline the crown prince. "

Xuanyuan Zhan thought that it was actually because of this matter. It seems that after he told the crown prince about it, the crown prince had spent quite a bit of effort to make things difficult for him.

"Father, don't misunderstand. I just happen to know that before Xing Family and the two lords of the Zou family were exterminated, the crown prince went to two big families and only felt suspicious and wanted to ask a question. I did not intend to threaten His Highness the Crown Prince. It is just that I want to help father share his worries. " Xuanyuan Zhan explained.

"Humph!" It's best if this is the case. Don't let This Emperor find out that you have some tricks up your sleeves. "I have made up my mind that I will not allow anyone to covet my position as the crown prince." Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Don't worry royal father, this son has never thought of entering the position of crown prince, nor has he thought of competing for anything with the crown prince."

Maybe Xuanyuan Zhan had thought about it before. But after discovering his feelings for Feng Yu, Xuanyuan Zhan dispelled this thought. Right now, the only thing he wanted to do was to accompany Feng Yu and Dou Dou to seclude himself in the mountain forest.

After Xuanyuan Mo heard what he said, he could not help but snort, "You better remember what you said in front of us today, don't let us find out anything wrong with your thoughts."

"This son doesn't dare."

"Alright, you may leave!"

Looking at Xuanyuan Zhan's leaving figure, Xuanyuan Mo had mixed feelings about his son. He had never cared too much about him since he was young. Perhaps it was because of this that he developed his current cold and indifferent personality.

To be honest, Xuanyuan Mo was still a little fearful of his son. This was because they had been separated since they were young, causing him to be unable to understand Xuanyuan Zhan's heart.

Xuanyuan Zhan helplessly walked out of the imperial study and revealed a helpless smile. So it turned out that no matter what he did, even Royal Father wouldn't believe what he said. So what matriarch said was not wrong. He had been born in a royal family. How could he truly enjoy the ordinary pleasures of a family? You really troubled the Crown Prince and Yan Fei, you kept thinking of ways and means to deal with me.

It turned out that after the crown prince left the Xing Family that day, he went to the Imperial Palace to look for the Yan Fei. The Yan Fei woman was not a merciful person, after Xuanyuan Qingtian had told her about the two of them meeting Xuanyuan Zhan that day, in order to prevent Xuanyuan Zhan from taking the opportunity to move to the crown prince's residence. Yan Fei had always been thinking of ways to get rid of the suspicion on his son.

Yesterday, Yan Fei hurriedly ran over to the imperial study to find Xuanyuan Mo. His tears were streaming down his face. The emperor must uphold justice for his concubine. This concubine only had such a son, yet he had painstakingly raised her and brought her up. Was he really going to be wronged by others for no reason at all? "Howl, howl ~ ~"

"What happened to Love Consort? Let's talk about it later. "

"Your Majesty, yesterday, Tian Er came to my palace to tell my concubine that His Majesty the Battle-King Xu had met him in the manor of the Xing Family. "These words all imply that before Lord Xing and Lord Zou's families were exterminated, there was someone who saw the Crown Prince Palace go down to look for the two Lords."

"Oh ~ really?" Xuanyuan Mo asked, "Has the crown prince really been to their house?"

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo's rhetorical question, the Yan Fei was shocked in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. It's just that Tian Er sees that Your Majesty is really busy with government affairs, and that he is unable to help out. Thus, he came to find Chenqie to tell his the truth. Seeing that Tian Er really wanted to help his majesty, chenqie thought of how Master Xing and Lord Zou had always been the most important subjects of his majesty, and hence she asked Tian Er to consult the two lords on how to govern. He would share his worries for his majesty. How would Chenqie know that two days after Tian Er went there, Master Xing's family and Master Zou's family were all annihilated? "

"So that's how it is. I won't blame Tian Er if I knew." A Yan Fei of Xuanyuan Mo comforted his, afraid that he would misunderstand Xuanyuan Qingtian.

"Chenqie naturally knows that His Majesty will not blame Tian Er. If Your Majesty does not blame him, there will inevitably be people who take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Who would dare?"

"As long as it's the Battle King, he dares, His Majesty the Battle-King's words have already revealed his suspicions of Tian Er. Chenqie is worried that the His Majesty the Battle-King will use this matter to slander Tian Er, so I am worried that he will use the hands of the ministers who respect me?"

"Hearing Yan Fei say this, Xuanyuan Mo's eyes shone with vigilance. He dares! We will teach him a good lesson. Love Consort will go back first. "

Yan Fei saw that he had achieved his goal, but still pretended to cry and left the royal study. That was the reason for the scene in the royal study today.

Not long after Xuanyuan Zhan returned to the manor. He then heard the Eunuch Qin's sharp voice, "The imperial edict has arrived, His Majesty the Battle-King please receive it."

Xuanyuan Zhan led Feng Yu and all the servants to kneel down to receive the decree.

"According to the heavens, this is the Emperor's edict. The King has worked hard today, and made great contributions to the Xiao Kingdom to eradicate the pirates and settle them down in the borders. He has taken away all of the positions that the His Majesty the Battle-King has in the army, and has decided to recuperate in the palace, so that he can serve his country. This is it! "
