"Lin Chan is not a master of martial arts. She was able to escape from the capital only because she was escorted by that maid. This is understandable, but now there is no one to protect her, and wanted orders and reward orders are all over the country. There is no news at all? No clues?"

In Yuzhang Palace, Fang Yun poured tea for Pei Yao while talking about the questions in his heart.

Pei Yao took the tea cup with a serious look on his face.

"I also have a guess. There is a word called dark under the lamp. If she can't be found outside the palace, maybe she is not outside the palace at all."

"The emperor and my concubine have thought of a place." Fang Yun nodded, "But there are only so many places in this palace, where can she hide? To be honest with the emperor, my concubine has been looking for her these days."

Pei Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "I have searched all over the palace, but I haven't been to the cold palace yet."

"There are only a few people in this cold palace. There is only one Ms. Xie who went crazy because of the crime and two women who were guarding her. It's not easy to hide people." Hong Zheng said beside him.

Indeed, if you want to hide, you must either hide in a crowded place where you cannot be found, or hide in a place where there are no people.

This is a place with few people. If one more person comes out, he will notice that something is wrong. It is not an easy place to hide.

"Let's look for it first and then talk about it," Pei Yao said.

It seems that there is no big hope.

Fang Yun took an orange and handed it over, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, you will definitely find it. Even if a person is alive, even if it is burned, there will still be ashes. On the other hand, over there in Shangyang Kingdom, I don't know where the credentials are. What will be the response?"

"The princess they sent wanted to murder me. Regardless of whether they were the instigators or not, they don't care. Now they have to find Lin Chan and force her to cooperate in testifying, so as to convict Lord Shang Yang of the crime and win more. Benefit."

Pei Yao took the orange, peeled it carefully, and gave half to Fang Yun.

"The Lord of Shangyang is not a peaceful person. News came back from the northern Xinjiang military camp. On the border between the two countries, there are people from Shangyang pretending to be ordinary people to check our army's troop deployment and rotation time. This shows that he is still with his father. Same, want to attack my Daqi."

While eating the oranges handed over by Pei Yao, Fang Yun also analyzed in a low voice.

"Inherited by blood, the current King of Shangyang came to the throne on the blood of his father and brothers. It can be seen that he is ruthless. He gave in for a moment. I am afraid that he just wanted to stabilize his internal affairs. In the past two years, we have all been recuperating. , the same goes for him in Shangyang Kingdom, he is also young, and naturally he does not want to bear the name of a defeated king during his reign."

"Shangyang Kingdom is ambitious, and I will not tolerate them." Pei Yao raised his eyes, his eyes were undeniably fierce and firm, "Since this battle is inevitable, it will be the right time for Daqi to open up the border again. Tutu."

"Then I would like to wish your Majesty a prosperous future."

Fang Yun curled his lips, smiled slightly, stood up and saluted.

After saying this, she asked again.

"How does the Emperor plan to tell the Queen about this matter?"

"You have merit, you shouldn't hide it from her." Pei Yao said solemnly, "The queen has always known the general situation, so she shouldn't care. Besides, you have never coveted her."

Hearing this, Fang Yun's eyebrows curved, "As long as the emperor knows what kind of person I am, I don't ask for anything else. I just want to be with the emperor in this life until I grow old. The second princess and the fourth prince also May you be in good health."

"I will protect you mother and son." The light in Pei Yao's eyes softened.

Then, the two of them started talking about their children's homework.

Since the fourth prince disrespected his master last time and was taught a lesson by Fang Yun, he has become less naughty. He is also smart and is very happy to be taught by his master.

Every time Pei Yao asked, several of the teachers said that the fourth prince would definitely be top-notch in literary talent in the future.

This naturally makes my parents happy. In comparison, although the eldest prince is also diligent, he is not very alert and shows more of a good-natured nature. He is not very similar to Concubine Jin and Pei Yao, and he has his own unique method.

As for the third prince, he is well-behaved and smart, but probably because of his suffering in childhood, he has a weak temperament and is very dependent on Song Concubine.

Right now, the fourth prince is the best at jumping around. If you throw him into the pile of princes and take a quick look at him, you will know that he is the most cunning.

Because of the sin he suffered in the womb, the fourth prince always had a sense of weakness in his eyebrows, so when he was quiet, he was like a gentle and frail little baby, and those who looked at him couldn't help but feel tender and loving.

Fang Yun occasionally thought, if you grow up like this, will you be a sickly beauty in the future?

Of course, as a mother, you still want your children to be healthy.

As for the fifth prince, everyone has seen him. He is well-raised by the queen. He is healthy and strong, and his appearance is cute and upright.

Probably due to the Queen's influence, such a small child can actually make people feel that this child is very practical and steady.

Let’s not talk about the two princesses. The sixth princess is too young to see anything. The second princess is older and has a much quieter personality. But with the fourth prince taking care of her, she is still considered the naughty girl.

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, after seeing off Pei Yao, Fang Yun tidied up, had breakfast and went to Fengxuan Palace to pay his respects to the queen.

The queen seems to be in a bad mood these days, she is gloomy and doesn't like to talk.

So everyone dispersed soon.

Fang Yun felt that the queen's eyes always fell on him, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, after this, the queen would always start to be wary of her when she had her own child.

I just hope that the queen can always maintain her true intentions and not do anything that violates the covenant between the two. Anyway, Fang Yun knew in his heart that he would not attack the fifth prince.

"My queen doesn't seem to be sleeping well these days. Your Majesty went to accompany your queen yesterday. Is she still unhappy?" Concubine Jin chirped.

Fang Yun smiled, "It's naturally good that the emperor is here, but now that the emperor is here, I see that the emperor is still worried about capturing Concubine Yan, so I follow the emperor's worries."

"Oh, your Majesty is really deeply in love with the Emperor, which makes me envious when I hear about it." Concubine Jin sighed.

Concubine Song said at this time, "If you can escape on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't escape on the fifteenth. A living person can still disappear, but speaking of it, the one in the cold palace is probably going to die."

The Xie family in the cold palace was the one who caused Concubine Song and the second princess to contract smallpox. After being thrown into the cold palace, Concubine Song sent people to use medicine to destroy her face, leaving her with scars all over her body. Now she is crazy.

Before Mrs. Yang's death, Fang Yun went to the Leng Palace to see her and also met Mr. Xie.

"It's okay to die. People who have done evil like her should be forgiven." Concubine Jin said, and then asked, "But it's hot today, how could she die? She has survived several winters in the cold palace. "

Concubine Song narrowed her eyes and said with a cold expression, "The little eunuch who delivered the meal said that Mrs. Xie had not moved much for several days, and she didn't even touch the food she was given. She just sat in the corner and muttered some nonsense that she didn't understand. It seems that he is infected with wind and cold, and the high fever does not go away, and he is about to die."

After hearing this, Concubine Jin snorted, "This is a death-seeking thing. If she didn't make any mistakes earlier, she could have a stable life. Now she is wrapped in a straw mat and thrown out. Who in the mass grave will look at her twice."

Hearing this, Fang Yun suddenly frowned and looked at Song Bin.

"Do you know when Mr. Xie started to get sick?"
