Chapter 840 Escape (1)
Chu Qiyan remained silent, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were still cold, and she casually nodded to the two of them and said, "You bring a few people back to the palace, and you take a few people to catch up with them and escort Chu Yuexin's carriage. Send her back to the East Palace and come back to report."

The guards quickly prepared their horses, and the two groups led the way.

Chu Qiyan got on the horse herself, and left with the rest of her confidantes.

He seemed to be aimless, and he led people slowly along the East Street all the way. Halfway through, two groups of people who were going to the East Palace and Nanhe Palace came to report one after another, saying that the carriages of the two families were all gone. It was delivered to the gates of each house smoothly, and there were no accidents along the way.

"Really?" Chu Qiyan twitched the corners of her lips with a half-smile after hearing the report from her subordinates, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes turned cold, she turned her horse's head and ran towards the palace again.

First, he went back to the east palace gate, and the guard who guarded the gate reported that he didn't find anything unusual, so he went to the south palace gate instead.

The guards didn't know why, they just followed suit.

When he got to the south palace gate, he got the news that not long before he left the palace, Princess Rui couldn't bear it anymore and was escorted back to the palace first.

But is it just a slap in the face?
But even if Li Ruixiang wanted to get away, he just hid it quietly, why did he make such a big fuss again?
Chu Qiyan was really full of confusion at the moment, but she didn't have time to think about it, and took people to chase the carriage of Prince Rui's residence.

Here he is full of vigilance, while driving on the road, he can't stop thinking about the ins and outs of this matter in his heart. When he was absent-minded, he just passed a fork in the road ahead, and his eyes glanced slightly to the side inadvertently. Looking around, he saw a carriage parked under a willow tree over there.

Chu Qiyan was taken aback, and subconsciously pulled the rein.

"My lord!" His guard immediately became alert.

Chu Qiyan looked over and saw a figure leaning against the carriage over there, and couldn't help frowning even more, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Back off!"

The guards didn't dare to disobey and stayed where they were, but they still looked over there nervously and vigilantly.

Chu Qiyan rode over alone.

Chu Xunyang was leaning on the carriage with his eyes closed to rest his mind, but when he heard the sound of his horse's hooves, he opened his eyes and walked out of the shadows.

"It's you?" Chu Qiyan had already expected it to be her, but she couldn't figure out her intentions, "What are you trying to do with so many tricks?"

"Make a deal with you!" Chu Xunyang said, not talking nonsense, he went directly to the front of the carriage, raised his hand and opened the door.

The palace lanterns were lit in the carriage, and it was clear at a glance that a woman in plain clothes was lying on one side unconsciously.

It's not someone else, surprisingly——

It is Princess Zheng of Nanhe.

Chu Qiyan couldn't help gasping.

The guard waiting at the crossroads rode forward inconceivably, and said angrily, "This is impossible. This subordinate obviously personally escorted the princess's carriage back to the palace, and saw the princess enter the door with his own eyes."

Chu Xunyang was silent.

Chu Qiyan understood very well in her heart——

If Chu Xunyang planned to rob the Zheng family in the palace or on the way back to the Nanhe Palace, it would definitely cause a lot of commotion, so he designed that the Zheng family and Chu Yuexin felt unwell one after another. Excited, Chu Yuexin was going to leave the palace, so she was bound to receive the same treatment.It would be much easier to lure her back to the Nanhe Prince's Mansion in this way, and then send a master to sneak in secretly to take her away.

after all--

Zheng is the princess of Nanhe, who would go in and out of her bedroom from time to time at night to check her whereabouts?
After successfully robbing the Zheng family, they used people from Prince Rui's residence to arouse Chu Qiyan's suspicion and lure him here.

Chu Qiyan's complexion was ashen, and she looked at her coldly, her heart was as clear as a mirror, so she didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Li Ruixiang is in your hands? You have spent so much time trying to get from me. In exchange for his life?"

His thinking leaped so fast that the guards couldn't comprehend it.

Chu Xunyang smiled, jumped up with one hand on the shaft of the car, sat down casually, and said with a smile: "How? With the weight of your mother and concubine, is it enough?"

"He's not the crown prince's hidden stake!" Chu Qiyan was noncommittal, and just looked at her expressionlessly, "If Chu Qifeng controlled him, he wouldn't wait until the matter got so big before doing it, he's not from your East Palace ? Why did you protect him?"

It has to be said that this person's vision is quite unique and sharp.

Chu Xunyang smiled and said nothing, just said: "You don't need to worry about this, anyway, Princess Nanhe is in my hands now, I just want you to say something, is that okay?"

"He has been charged with poisoning His Majesty. Even if I am willing to release the water, he will not be able to get away with it." Chu Qiyan said, it took a lot of effort to suppress his temper, "I will be wanted by the court in the future, you How long do you think he can escape? Xunyang, you have always been thinking about Huimin, such useless efforts—"

Chu Qiyan paused while speaking.

He closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened them again, his tone became even colder and harsh: "It's okay if you don't do it!"

"Would it be?" Chu Xunyang curled his lips, but he didn't think so, "Speaking of which, you and His Majesty are just getting what you need, so why are you so stubborn in the name of killing the murderer for him? "

Chu Qiyan was startled, frowned tightly, and said in disbelief: "You want me to calm down and settle this matter?"

"It's nothing more than a little effort!" Chu Xunyang raised his eyebrows casually, "In any case, you were spared no effort to pursue the murderer. You just said that Chief Li refused to give in and died under the siege of the Imperial Forest Army. There is no such person in the world. This matter will naturally turn the page. This——isn't that difficult?"

The emperor is dead, and Li Ruixiang is charged with serious crimes. It is impossible for him to return to the court.

This person, when he was by the emperor's side, was very important, and everyone fawned on him.

But now-

To put it bluntly, he is a useless person.

But at this juncture, Chu Xunyang still tried to protect him at all costs?
It is obviously not profitable, and it is very likely to get into big trouble——

How could Chu Xunyang be willing to suffer such a loss?

Chu Qiyan was full of precautions, but because the Zheng family was in the hands of Chu Xunyang, she was restrained.

His face was ashen, and he only gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Xunyang, unwilling to express his opinion for a long time.

Chu Xunyang didn't want to waste time with him today, so he just said: "How? Although you won't get any benefits from this matter, you won't have any losses. Do you really want me to send Director Li to the Third Division Council?" Do you care about it in the court of trial? You have to think clearly!"
