The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1266 Returning home

Sheng Yuan hasn't received any secret letters from the palace for several days.

Originally, the internal security guards came to contact us at regular intervals, but with the disappearance of the secret letter, such contact also disappeared.

If the Queen had not repeatedly reminded her not to act rashly in the last secret letter, she would have already ordered her troops to the palace to pay her respects.

But such endurance was too much of a test. The news from the outside world, which was difficult to distinguish between true and false, constantly gnawed at her sanity, making her restless and pacing back and forth.

"Yuan Jie'er, let's wait a little longer! The information outside is confusing. If it's true, there's no way Sheng Ge'er wouldn't have contacted us! Let's wait for news from Sheng Ge'er."

Although An Yu tried to persuade Sheng Yuan, he himself was unsure.

The main thing is that there is news and strange stories coming out from time to time, which make people shocked, suspicious and worried.

"When it comes to matters of the general situation, the cabinet always speculates on rumors! Although they work in the Classics Hall of the Imperial Palace's Outer Courtyard, they may not know as much as you and I about matters in the Inner Courtyard. Ever since the emperor wanted to establish the princess as the crown prince, they have been opposing it in every way. Now is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation, so it's not surprising that they want to turn against us."

While comforting Sheng Yuan, An Yu also comforted himself: "Now that we know their intention to invite Prince An to the capital, it will be easier to deal with! Uncle... ahem, I mean, since the Nine City Military Department has already made preparations and does not intend to let the cabinet people go out of the capital to do business, and does not allow the princes of foreign vassal states to enter the capital without an imperial edict, then isn't it easier to deal with? As long as we let the five armies keep a close eye on the contact point and don't let the cabinet people find an opportunity to take advantage of, we and the palace can attack or defend."

"If it is really the intention of the palace to adopt the Prince of Sui'an to His Majesty, then the Crown Princess will never be able to return to the capital!" Sheng Yuan rubbed his forehead and looked at the mission reports handed in one after another by the five armies. He felt his head swell. "The key is... where is the person? Could it be that the thief can go through the wall and hide underground?"

"Yes! It's so strange! The Crown Princess disappeared so completely, as if she had never appeared in the post station."

Sheng Yuan listened to his sigh and suddenly his thoughts moved. He felt that he had vaguely grasped some key factor, but when he tried to think about it again, the fleeting clue had disappeared.

Just as she was about to think about it, she heard a series of rapid knocking sounds outside the window.

This sound was extremely familiar to Sheng Yuan and An Yu; it was the sound of a bird's beak tapping on the window frame.

"Rongrong?!" Sheng Yuan's eyes lit up.

An Yu immediately looked out the window, his face showing nervousness and uneasiness: "Could it be that... Brother Sheng has a message?!" "Open the window quickly!"

As soon as Sheng Yuan said this, An Yu rushed over impatiently.

Seeing this, Sheng Yuan clenched his hands and followed closely.

But before he could get close to the window, he heard An Yu, who was sitting by the window, exclaim in surprise.

"What's wrong?!" Sheng Yuan was startled when he heard the unspeakable tension, anger and suspicion in An Yu's exclamation. He rushed over without thinking too much.

"Heavy, heavy brown and rouge!"

When An Yu's trembling voice reached Sheng Yuan'er's ears, Sheng Yuan happened to see the scene in front of him.

Her little falcon Rouge was leaning against the brown tree listlessly, flapping its wings weakly so that the bones could be seen, trying to lift its claws that were stained with blood.

"Yanzhi!" Sheng Yuan shuddered with shock. He didn't bother to take the letter off Yanzhi's claws. He quickly held it in his hands and pushed An Yu with his shoulder, urging him, "Quick! Get the medicine box!"

"Chirp! Chirp!" Yanzhi nestled in Sheng Yuan's hand, sniffing the familiar scent. She raised her head with difficulty, cried out a few times, and raised her paw again tremblingly.

Seeing this, Sheng Yuan pursed her lips, stroked her rouge, and tried to take the letter tied to its paw.

……

An Yu hurriedly ran over with the medicine box in his arms, and saw his family's Sheng Yuan suddenly stand up, smash the tea table next to him with one palm, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Brother Yu, take the people back home!"
