The queen ignored his outstretched hand, bowed again, and said.

"I don't know why the emperor came here today?"

Shun and Di looked at his outstretched hand, then at the empress with lowered brows and lowered eyes, who was a foot away from him, and sighed in his heart again, it was finally born.

Thinking of the purpose of his coming here today, his throat was choked up, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The prince was assassinated and disappeared."

Unexpectedly, after the queen heard it, she had a calm expression on her face, as if she had known about it for a long time, and sure enough, she only heard the queen whispering.

"The concubine's younger sister has already informed the concubine in advance."

Thinking of the compassionate look in Concubine Jia's eyes when she mentioned this matter to her, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. Her mother was worried when her son traveled thousands of miles, not to mention that her son, as the crown prince, was always a living target. So far, it has almost exhausted her mental strength.

Unlike Concubine Jia who favored two princes in Wolian, she only gave birth to one prince, and she was close to death, and the prince was born, and he was not loved by the emperor, because at that time, his heart had already been born for him There are two princes.

Thinking of the past, the empress felt indescribably disheartened. The emperor's love was not available after asking for it. It was better not to ask for it. She only wanted his son to come back safely, even if she was trapped in this palace for the rest of her life. Eat fast and chant Buddha every day.

Seeing the Empress mentioning Concubine Jia, Shun and Emperor were taken aback for a moment, thinking that they had indeed mentioned this in front of Concubine Jia before, but they did not expect that Concubine Jia had a deep sisterly relationship and had already told the Queen the news.

Forget it, there is also a psychological buffer to know in advance. Thinking of this, Shun and Di comforted him.

"I have sent people out to look for it. The crown prince is accompanied by Jin Ling, the leader of the hidden guards. I think nothing will happen. The temporary disappearance is probably just to cover up people's eyes and ears. You can wait in the palace with peace of mind until the crown prince comes back safely. I will send someone to tell you as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

These words undoubtedly touched the Queen's heart. The reason why she didn't lose her sense of propriety was precisely because the prince had the leader of the hidden guards around him. As long as Jin Ling was still alive, her emperor would also be alive.

And the reason why Jin Ling didn't pass the news of the prince's well-being back to the palace was precisely to prevent the news from leaking, and the enemy would counterattack wildly. Most of their forces were placed on the side of the substitute, and now the prince's substitute is dead. , one can imagine how powerful the opponent is.

Li Dengyan had never experienced such pain since he could remember. He walked through the deep mountains and old forests every day, climbing mountains, fishing, climbing trees, and digging out bird nests.

Jin Ling also changed from a majestic royal guard leader to a mountain-climbing monkey. The master and servant followed the silver wolf king, hiding day and night, avoiding enemies like a real animal.

Fortunately, such hard work has also paid off. The killers who are chasing after him can't imagine that Li Dengyan would leave the road and walk the difficult and dangerous road in the deep mountains. Gradually, they were left far behind by the two and one wolf.

With the escort of the Silver Wolf King, it will only be a matter of time before Li Dengyan returns to Beijing.

To say that apart from Li Dengyan, the most miserable people now are Nanming Yan and others who were dispatched to northern Xinjiang. Because Shun and Emperor's anger came too fast, and the imperial edict was issued too quickly, all the people in Nanfu didn't even have luggage. They didn't even have time to clean up, and they were directly dragged on the road.

But at this time, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, going on the road at this time is much stronger than Fu Yinong and his party, who were forced to suffer the cold in the ice and snow. Even so, the people in Nanfu are full of resentment.

As the chief culprit, Nanming Yan was the first to bear the brunt and became the target of abuse by the whole family. Those people not only scolded him, but even robbed him of his food. If it wasn't for the deterrence of those escorting officials, Nanming Yan would even have been beaten.

All these, Nanming Yan silently accepted, this is what he deserved, if he hadn't taken it lightly, thinking that Jiang Zhengshan was already a dead fish that could not turn over, who would have thought that a dead fish could explode.

But fortunately, he didn't have nothing to gain, at least he knew that the prince was not the real culprit behind the scenes, and the Xiao family was not caused by him.

However, there were even more doubts that followed. If the crown prince was not involved, then who had the ability to bring down the Xiao family?After all, behind the Xiao family is the imperial concubine and the Nan family. These three families of military generals have already occupied half the sky of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Before, he also doubted whether it would be Emperor Shunhe, but he rejected it later. Although Emperor Shunhe was mediocre in government, he admired force very much. emperor.

Such an emperor would never mutilate his own arm and give the enemy a chance.

Seeing that after the downfall of the Xiao family, he did not behead the entire group of the Xiao family to show the public that he had room for it.

Moreover, although their Nan family was exiled, they happened to be exiled in the northern border guarded by Beidinghou. Who can say that this was not intentional by Shun and Emperor.

It's a pity that even if Nan Mingyan wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of the real culprit behind this.

It wasn't until the guards around Xiao Rongjin caught up with Nan Mingyan and his party that Nan Mingyan learned that the prince had been assassinated and disappeared.

"Xiao San, what happened here? Why did the prince leave Beijing?"

Nan Mingyan was very surprised.

"Mr. Nan, the matter has to start from the Wuyang mansion."

Xiao San, the hidden guard who ranked third under Xiao Rongjin, told Nan Mingyan everything he knew. After hearing this, Nan Mingyan was shocked. He didn't expect that the people behind him would attack the prince so quickly, with one blow. Sure enough, the prince was really tricked by them.

Thinking of those foreign killers mentioned by Xiao San, Nan Mingyan felt even more uneasy. Secretly, there seemed to be a big net that caught all of them, first the Xiao family, then their Nan family, and then the prince. , who will be next?

The more Nanming Yan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but now he couldn't protect himself, and he didn't have more energy to pay attention to the affairs in Beijing. When Nanming Yan was depressed, he only heard Xiao San continue.

"Master Nan, our son asked his subordinates to stay by Mr. Nan's side for the time being. If Mr. Nan gives orders, Xiao San will definitely die."

"And Ms. Fu also has something for her subordinates to pass on."

Saying that, Xiao San took out a bulging cloth bag from his clothes, and handed it to Nanming Yan.

Nanming Yan opened it with a puzzled expression, and his breath stopped immediately. Inside the cloth bag, there was a neat stack of bank notes of different amounts.

Seeing this, Nan Mingyan immediately understood that Fu Yinong had returned all the hard work he had paid for asking her to help take care of Xiao Rongjin.

For a while, Nanming Yan didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The former son of the Nan family of Beidinghou, who used to be aloof, now has to rely on a little peasant girl to live.
