Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 176
Jiao Jingyao looked at Jiao Jincheng with cold eyes, and said word by word, sonorously: "Father, I will definitely find enough evidence to prove my conjecture, and one day, the truth will come to light. At that time, I hope that you will not regret the decision you made today!" Jiao Jingyao said in a cold tone.

The disappearance of the inspection token was not a small matter, but he made it so lightly, there must be something strange in it.He has always firmly believed that his father was involved in this matter, and behind this matter, there must be other people involved, otherwise, with his father's temperament, Su Mei must have passed away long ago, so why did she disappear? How about it?You know, from the very beginning, his father didn't want to see Su Mei, and always wanted to put Su Mei to death. If he hadn't stopped and protected him, his father would have done it long ago, let alone wait until now, Therefore, he felt that Su Mei's disappearance was not only related to his father.

However, besides the father, who else would there be?This is what Jiao Jingyao can't figure out.

"Okay, very good, I'll wait and see." Jiao Jincheng naturally understood what he meant, so he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said.

"My son retire!"

Watching Jiao Jingyao turn around and leave, Yang Xin, the Chief of the Imperial Guard, also saluted and said, "Resignation!"

Looking at the back of Jiao Jingyao leaving, Jiao Jincheng has mixed feelings in his heart, both sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.

"My lord, my lord, please stay!" Yang Xin chased after him and shouted.

Jiao Jingyao stopped when he heard the sound, turned around, and saw Yang Xin walking towards this side quickly.

"Director Yang."

"My lord, what do I need to do?" Yang Xin stood still and asked respectfully.The emperor's corner, Jin Cheng, had already said just now that he wanted him to obey Prince Yong's arrangements, but he didn't know anything, so he couldn't do anything.

Since the inspection-free token came out of the palace, and Yang Xin is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, he must be responsible for the investigation of the token. Thinking of this, Jiao Jingyao said politely and gently: " Please Director Yang to investigate, whether there have been suspicious people in the palace in the past few days, or if there is anything wrong, please also ask Director Yang to investigate one by one and strengthen the guards in the palace."

"Yes, I'm taking orders, my lord, please don't worry, I will definitely strengthen the guards to ensure that not a single fly will let it fly in!"

"Then trouble Manager Yang. I have other things to deal with. After the meeting, I will send someone to tell Manager Yang the whole story."

"Okay, my lord please." Yang Xin said heartily.

"Well, please." Jiao Jingyao nodded, then turned around and walked quickly to the palace gate.

Yang Xin, the chief of the imperial guards, can be said to be a man of temperament, he is very generous and righteous, and he always does everything by himself, setting an example, which is highly praised by everyone.

Father, I don't know if you sent Yang Xin here on purpose or not?
Jiao Jingyao stopped thinking about it, got on the horse, slapped the horse's back suddenly, and the horse galloped out quickly.

In the front hall of Prince Yong's Mansion, Ling Lan paced back and forth with a very anxious expression.

After Jiao Jingyao left the post house, he was ordered to stay outside the post house. He was worried that people would find out, so he chose a big tree not far from the post house. He flew onto the tree and hid among the lush branches and leaves. He watched the movements in the post house without blinking.And not long ago, shortly after Jiao Jingyao left the post house, Ling Lan, who was guarding not far from the post house, found a carrier pigeon flying out of it, flying towards the southeast.He felt a little strange, so he hurried to the gate of the city, but Ling Yun said that he left and didn't know where he went, so he returned to the palace and waited.

Nearly an hour has passed now, but Prince Yong Jiao Jingyao still hasn't come back.Ling Lan was a little impatient. Among the hidden guards of Jiao Jingyao, Ling Lan was the youngest, and he was also the most impatient.

Just when Ling Lan was anxious and helpless, footsteps came from outside the door.He hurriedly turned his head, and as expected, he saw Jiao Jingyao's figure.

Ling Lan stepped forward quickly, saluted respectfully, and said, "My lord!"

When Jiao Jingyao first saw Ling Lan, his expression was slightly stunned, then he lowered his face and asked coldly, "Why are you here? Didn't you ask you to stay outside the post?"

"Reporting to the lord, this subordinate is indeed guarding outside the post house, but half an hour ago, this subordinate saw a white pigeon flying out of the post house and flying towards the southeast. This subordinate thinks this is unusual, Then come back and tell the prince."

"Carrier pigeon? Can you see clearly?" Jiao Jingyao frowned and asked.

"This subordinate can see clearly that it is indeed a carrier pigeon." Ling Lan said decisively.

"You continue to guard outside the post house, and if there is any change, come and report immediately!"

"Yes, this subordinate is resigning!" Ling Lan disappeared into the front hall after speaking.

Pigeon?How could there be carrier pigeons flying out?Southeast direction?That is?Jiao Jingyao suddenly opened his eyes wide. This southeast direction is the direction leading to Longyu Kingdom, or in other words, it is also the direction that Shanghuang Kingdom must pass through. Could it be that there are some unknown secrets in this?

Jiao Jingyao connected what happened today, and muttered in a low voice: "Exemption token? Carriage? Carrier pigeon? Southeast direction? Is there any connection between them?"

"Linghe!" Jiao Jingyao immediately shouted loudly.

"The subordinate is here!" Ling He walked in and said respectfully.

"You can go to the nearest racecourse and see if there is a maroon lion Cong!"

"Yes!"

Shang Junyuan, could it be you?Is the little girl still out of town?Or is it already out of town?
Thinking of this, Jiao Jingyao turned his head to look at Ling Lan, and said, "Ling Lan, go to the gate of the city and wait for me there with Ling Yun."

"Yes!" Ling Lan replied with a serious expression, and then strode out the door.

If everything is as I guessed, then, thinking of this, Jiao Jingyao narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his fists tightly, stopped staying any longer, got up immediately, and ran quickly to the door of the mansion. He intercepted the Maxima in the hands of the young servant halfway, turned on the horse with lightning speed, and ran towards the palace.

On the street full of people, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from far and near. Passers-by on both sides of the road gave way to the sound. Everyone knew that in the imperial city, people who could gallop on the road were either rich or noble.But before the people could see the people on the horses clearly, the horses were already galloping past at an astonishing speed.

About half an hour ago, Jiao Jingyao had just walked out of the majestic golden palace gate, but now he entered the palace again, but this time he did not go to see his father Huangjiao Jincheng, but directly found him. Yang Xin, the chief of the Imperial Guard.

"My lord?" Yang Xin was investigating whether any suspicious person had visited the palace in the past few days, but he didn't expect to see Jiao Jingyao who turned back, and he looked at Jiao Jingyao in surprise and said.

"Well, Manager Yang, this king's main reason for entering the palace this time is that there is one thing that needs to be clarified." Jiao Jingyao had a serious expression on his face.

"My lord, please tell me." Yang Xin said respectfully.

"Bring me the eunuch who was guarding outside the Temple of Heaven and Harmony yesterday. I have something to ask."

"Yes, I will go now." Yang Xin was a little puzzled, what did the eunuch on duty outside the Tianhe Hall have to do with this matter?

"Wait." Jiao Jingyao thought for a while, then stopped Yang Xin who was about to leave, and said, "My king will go with you."

"Yes, please, my lord." As they spoke, the two walked towards the Tianhe Hall.

The eunuch guarding outside the Tianhe Hall saw Prince Yong walking towards here with a solemn expression from a distance.Hey, didn't Prince Yong just leave the palace?Why are you back again?

When the eunuch was wandering in his mind, Jiao Jingyao had already come to his side, he reacted and hurriedly saluted respectfully, saying: "My lord, Manager Yang."

"Well, excuse me, get up."

"Yes." Saying that, the eunuch got up and stood aside, lowering his head slightly.

"Director Yang, you go and ask other people first, after half a stick of incense, wait for me in the pavilion over there."

"Yes." Director Yang cupped his fists, turned around and walked towards the eunuch's lounge.

Right now, besides the other guards, there are only the two of them left outside the gate of the huge Tianhe Temple.

"Look up!" Jiao Jingyao looked at him and said indifferently.He felt that the eunuch was a bit unfamiliar, and he didn't seem to have seen it before, and he still remembered that when he came yesterday, it happened to catch up with their shift change. Therefore, Jiao Jingyao couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Yes." Although the eunuch was surprised, he didn't dare to say anything, and raised his head obediently.

"Are you new here?" Jiao Jingyao looked at him and asked.

"Yes, the slave was just transferred here a few days ago. The eunuch before was sick, so Eunuch Han transferred the slave here to take over for him temporarily."

"Yeah." Jiao Jingyao nodded clearly.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Jiao Jingyao's face, the eunuch couldn't help being a little scared. Although Eunuch Han came out not long ago and told him that the emperor was tired and resting and refused to see guests, but thinking that Jiao Jingyao was Prince Yong after all, the emperor His biological son will definitely be different, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, your majesty is resting. If your lord is in a hurry, this servant will pass it on to you."

"Rest?" Jiao Jingyao asked subconsciously.

"Yes."

It's only half an hour's work, and the father is taking a lunch break?Or something else?
"My lord?" Seeing that Jiao Jingyao was distracted, the eunuch shouted softly.

Jiao Jingyao came back to his senses, looked at him and said, "No need, I'm not here to see Father, but instead." Jiao Jingyao paused, and said, "I'm looking for you."

The father-in-law looked at Jiao Jingyao in surprise, and after realizing his impoliteness, he immediately lowered his head. Although the royal grandson was not as noble as the emperor, he couldn't look directly at him.

He said in a low voice: "My lord, I don't know what I want to ask this servant? This servant will know everything without saying anything."

"Okay." With that said, Jiao Jingyao turned and walked towards the pavilion next to him.

Seeing Jiao Jingyao leaving, the father-in-law thought that the emperor was resting and had nothing to do at the moment, so he hesitated and followed.

"My lord." The father-in-law stood in front of Jiao Jingyao and said respectfully.

"Sit down." Jiao Jingyao pointed to the stone bench at hand, and said lightly.

"I don't dare, I just stand there."

Jiao Jingyao smiled lightly and asked, "What's your name?"

"Return to the prince, slave Deshun."

"Well, when you were on duty yesterday, did you see anyone who came to see the father?" Jiao Jingyao asked straight to the point.

Eunuch Deshun was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Jiao Jingyao to ask this question, he thought for a while and said, "My lord, please allow me to think about it."

"Ah."

When he was on duty yesterday, no one came to the emperor, but King Qi of Shanghuang Kingdom had been here.

Seeing a gleam of light in his eyes, Jiao Jingyao hurriedly asked, "Has anyone been here?"

"Returning to your lord, when this servant was on duty, someone did come. If this servant remembers correctly, that person was King Qi of Shanghuang Kingdom." Eunuch Deshun said respectfully.

"King Qi has been here? How long have you been there?" Jiao Jingyao asked in a slightly eager tone.
