The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 991 The Uncle Prince Returns! (2)
"Employees are not suspicious, and Tuoba Huai'an is not an idiot. According to the original plan, everything went smoothly. He and the people outside the Great Wall in the northern border teamed up to win a big victory, directly forcing the imperial court's garrison back twenty miles. , I have taken refuge in the inner city defense." Chu Qiyan said, slapping off a little ashes that fell on the robe and getting up.

This news is exciting, but at this moment, his face is not happy at all. He just walked to the door, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the sunshine outside, and said with deep eyes: "Where is Chu Yi'an? The battle situation in northern Xinjiang has taken a turn for the worse. Why is there no mention of him in the letter?"

"This—" Li Lin was startled, and he couldn't help becoming nervous, thinking: "There are so many masters around him, even if the defenders are defeated, it's possible——that he hasn't been able to do anything to him for a while, right?"

Chu Qiyan was noncommittal, and the corners of her lips curled up in a sarcasm.

Although things in Mobei and Beijiang are going well, it has been a long time since we have received any definite news about Chu Yi'an, and this alone makes people unable to rest assured.

The rumors that he was assassinated——

Is it really believable?
As for Chu Qifeng, he clearly said that he went north to visit, but the killer he sent out secretly followed for two days, and after the first confrontation, he completely lost the opponent's whereabouts.

all of these--

Is it really just a coincidence?
Is it—

A sudden thought jumped into Chu Qiyan's mind, Chu Qiyan's heartbeat stopped suddenly, and he took a deep breath. Just when he was about to say something, he saw the housekeeper barging in sweating profusely, panting, "My lord, hurry up!" Hurry up and get ready to pick him up! The news we just received——His Majesty's Luanjia will return to court and will enter the city in half an hour."

Chu Qiyan's heart trembled.

"What?" Li Lin let out an inconceivable low cry, rushed out, stared into his eyes, and asked, "You said His Majesty returned to court? Where did you get the news?"

"The letter from the Ministry of Rituals just arrived. The time is tight. The prince told the prince to prepare quickly, and then go to the north city gate to pick him up with all the civil and military officials!" the housekeeper said, and wiped his sweat twice in a panic.

"Well! I see. You went back to your father and said that I will come after changing my clothes." Chu Qiyan said, waving her hand coldly.

"Yes!" The butler agreed, and hurriedly took his leave, and went down to arrange for the carriages and horses.

Li Lin had been stunned for a long time with a livid face, and then he turned his head slowly, looked at Chu Qiyan solemnly and said: "If His Majesty returns to the court, then there are nine out of ten, even if the previous assassin incident is true, he will There should be no damage."

Chu Yi'an returned safely, so suddenly, this is definitely not good news for them.

Chu Qiyan still stood there with a stern face, not sure if she heard his words, but after a long while, she said coldly: "He will come back when he comes back. It's an established fact, and there is nothing unacceptable. Now -"

He spoke for a while, then looked sideways at Li Lin and said, "I'm wondering—has Chu Qifeng come back with him? This—is the point of this matter now!"

Li Lin's heart tightened when he was stared at so urgently, and at the next moment, a bold idea suddenly popped up, "Your Majesty, do you suspect that the assassination of Duke Ping was done by him?"

Chu Qiyan only snorted a sneer, then turned around and walked into the room with a flick of her sleeves.

Li Lin froze on the spot, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

When he was in a state of desperation here, when Chu Qiyan walked to the bottom of the carved porch in the inner room, he stopped suddenly, and continued: "If he manipulated Zheng Duo's matter, I'm afraid the truth of the matter is far worse than that. What we're seeing now is much more serious."

If Li Lin was struck by lightning, he staggered and took a step back.

Chu Qiyan didn't say any more, and quickly walked into the inner room to change clothes, and then went to the North City Gate with Chu Yimin to pick him up.

This time Chu Yi'an returned to Beijing in secret, and did not let Lu Yuan send the news back to the palace until two hours before entering Beijing. All civil and military officials were caught off guard and rushed over in a hurry.

When Chu Qiyan and his son passed by, on the other side of the street, Chu Xunyang also rushed over just after getting the news.

At that time, all the civil and military officials had almost arrived, and they took their positions to discuss something in a low voice.

When Chu Yimin saw Chu Xunyang from a distance, he became angry, his eyes darkened, and he shook his sleeves and walked to the front of the team.

Chu Qiyan stood where she was, waiting for Chu Xunyang to approach.

Chu Xunyang got off his horse and didn't evade, walked directly in front of him, and said coldly: "I have received the news from Beijiang, you really are a great hand, but—"

As she spoke, she just smiled, pointedly pointed towards the direction of the city gate and said: "My father returned to Beijing early and missed the good show that you personally arranged. Are you disappointed?"

Chu Qiyan neither admitted nor denied, just looked at her expressionlessly.

It didn't matter to Chu Xunyang, anyway, as soon as Chu Yi'an returned to Beijing, those civil and military officials with impure minds would surely settle down with him.

Chu Qiyan's big move was in Northern Xinjiang. She was still very uneasy when she got the news of the defeat there, but she was relieved when she received the news of Chu Yi'an's return to Beijing.

As long as Chu Yi'an is fine, it doesn't matter if there is a commotion in Beijiang.

Chu Qiyan remained silent all this time, only staring at her with a deeply probing look.

The two people faced each other with their eyes facing each other, and the hostility between them was obvious.

After another quarter of an hour or so, there was a change in the direction of the front gate.

Chu Xunyang followed the prestige, and the bright yellow guard of honor outside the city was already in sight.

She and Chu Yi'an haven't seen each other for a long time, and in addition, they haven't been able to get any definite news from each other in the recent period. When they meet again at this moment, even if they just see the guard of honor from a distance, there is a surge of emotion in their hearts, and this feeling is undisguised. It is beyond words, and the eyes are exuding bright brilliance.

The air in winter is always a bit chilly, but her crystal clear eyes are the most vivid and dazzling.

"His Majesty's guard of honor has arrived." Qing Luo reminded softly from the side.

"Hmm!" Chu Xunyang said, eagerly pulling up his skirt and going forward.

"Xunyang!" Chu Qiyan didn't want to, but suddenly stopped her again.

Chu Xunyang stopped, and turned his head to give him a questioning look.

Chu Qiyan looked at her with a complicated expression, walked up to her, stared at her face, and sighed quietly: "I am a little curious now, who are your biological parents? He is not your father, Chu Qifeng It's not your brother either, how are you going to maintain this kind of relationship?"
