Chapter 105 The Remnants Reappear
Chapter 105 The Remnants Reappear
In a courtyard of the Tianjin Guard headquarters, Yu Jin, the Tianjin Guard's pacification envoy, placed several letters on the stone table under the pavilion and looked up at Li Musheng:
"Your Highness, the urgent letters from the palace, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Right Prime Minister have all been delivered to the main residence. The messengers are waiting in the front hall, awaiting a response from our Tianjin Guards."
In order to capture the murderer of Concubine Ji, all forces, including the Six Gates, the Secret Service, the government officials, and the Imperial Guards, basically obeyed the order and searched the city for the real culprit.
But only the Tianjin Guards remained motionless, turning a blind eye to the matter of catching the murderer. In fact, more than half of their personnel secretly left Shangyang City one after another.
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Third Prince and others, so they all sent people to urge Commander Fu Qiwen.
However, Li Musheng had previously promised Fu Qiwen to withstand the pressure, so all these signals were handed over to him to handle.
At this time, Li Musheng glanced at Yu Jin and waved his hand:
"This is very simple. You can reply in my name and tell them that the Tianjin Guards are busy helping me find the Fire Kirin and have no time to deal with this matter. If they are not happy, they can come to me in person."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jin's eyes moved slightly. The eighth prince in front of him had just arrived in the imperial capital and could be said to have no foundation at all.
But the other party was undoubtedly extremely tough. He confronted the Second Prince and others without any scruples, and even ignored the orders from the palace.
If it was our own commander, he would definitely not turn a blind eye to any party behind this signal.
But if it is the Eighth Prince in front of him, if the other party really doesn't care, the Second Prince and others will not have much to do with him on the surface.
But in this way, the Eighth Prince will undoubtedly offend the Second Prince and other forces, and his future life in the imperial capital will be difficult.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin shook his head slightly. This was not something he should consider.
Then, he bowed, took the letter from the stone table, and said with a salute:
"I understand. I will follow your Highness's instructions and deal with those people."
Li Musheng waved his hand and didn't care. He didn't take this matter to heart.
The reason why he agreed to Fu Qiwen's request was just to ask him to help him find the Fire Kirin. Besides, the person the entire imperial city wanted to capture was him, so why should he care so much?
After Yu Jin left, a guard from Tianjin Guard led Cang Yinyue to the courtyard.
Li Musheng had previously instructed that Cang Yinyue did not need to inform him when she came to see him, so as soon as she arrived at the headquarters of Tianjin Guard, a guard brought her here.
However, Cang Yinyue seemed a little different today than usual.
She was wearing a long moon-white dress that trailed on the ground. She walked slowly from the turning point of the corridor. Her steps were light and her figure was graceful. The green jade tassels hanging from her hairpin jingled, but she still wore a plain white veil on her face.
Cang Yinyue came to stand in front of Li Musheng. After the guards retreated, he stared at Li Musheng:
"Your Highness, since you helped me remove the tattoo on my face, I want you to be the first person to see me take off my veil."
At this moment, Cang Yinyue's exposed eyebrows were like ink marks on the dark mountains, and the shadows of her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly. Although her voice was cold, it was obvious that she was a little nervous.
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng sat up straight, gave a thumbs-up and praised:
"As expected, Miss Cang is still loyal."
Cang Yinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much. She then reached out and slowly took off the veil from her face.
I saw a plain gauze with silver thread edging hanging from behind her ears, like a thin brocade covering a glacier being peeled off, revealing a beautiful face as white as snow.
The sunlight falling through the pavilion was like a slightly blurred warm glaze, painting her cheeks with a hint of smoky clouds, her nose was straight and slender, her lips were the color of cherry blossoms, and her eyes were like clear autumn water.
Then, Cang Yinyue folded her veil into a ball and put it into her sleeve. She smoothed her long hair that fell on her shoulders, looked at Li Musheng with a smile and asked:
"Your Highness, are you satisfied?"
Hearing this, Li Musheng came back to his senses slightly, reached out and touched his chin, and said seriously: "Given Miss Cang's beauty, what I said before was too conservative. The people who want to marry you can not only line up to the gate of Shangyang City, I estimate that the line will extend from here to Shun'an City."
As soon as these words were spoken, Cang Yinyue's eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles.
What woman doesn't like to be praised? However, for some reason, Li Musheng's praise seemed to please her particularly.
"Your Highness, showing your face is just a small matter. I have another important matter to report to you."
But soon, Cang Yinyue collected his thoughts, the smile on his face disappeared, and he started talking about business seriously again.
Li Musheng stared at her for a while and nodded slightly. Appreciating a beautiful woman is indeed a pleasant thing.
But Cang Yinyue is obviously a girl who only wants to pursue her career, and sometimes she seems not so understanding.
"Then tell me, what's the important thing?"
Li Musheng waved his hand and gestured for the other party to sit down and talk slowly.
However, Cang Yinyue shook his head, staring at Li Musheng, and said:
"Yesterday's incident at the Cangyuan Marquis' Mansion and the murder of Concubine Ji almost attracted the attention of the entire Six Gates, so almost no one paid attention to the Qingshan Tower case."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of yellow letter paper from her sleeve, handed it to Li Musheng, and said:
"But last night, the Six Gates spies who had been investigating the Qingshan Tower made great progress, and I happened to intercept this."
Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly, took the yellow letter paper and glanced at it.
Then, his eyes moved and he squinted and said:
"It hasn't been long since that remnant of the Great Qi caused such a disturbance in the Aurora Pavilion. Instead of lying dormant, these remnants of the Great Qi are starting to stir again?"
Cang Yinyue slowly shook her head, a thoughtful look on her beautiful face, and said:
"It's hard to say. Perhaps it's because of Concubine Ji's incident. The Six Gates and most of the forces in the imperial capital are currently focused on this matter. For the time being, they don't have the energy to deal with the remnants of the Great Qi. They might be trying to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters."
Li Musheng glanced at her, his face showing a pensive expression, and said:
"Miss Cang came to see me, do you want me to go with you?"
"Yes."
Cang Yinyue nodded his chin lightly and said seriously:
"Right now, the entire Six Gates are basically tracking down the murderer of Concubine Ji, and there is a lack of sufficient manpower to handle this matter."
"Also, perhaps because I come from the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion, it seems that some eyes within the Six Gates are secretly watching me. Furthermore, since the Master of the Divine Constable is not here, I can't openly intervene in this matter."
"I know that His Highness has profound martial arts skills and is eager to find the key to the Great Revelation's secret treasure, so I intercepted the message directly and decided to investigate it ourselves."
