The housekeeper didn't dare to tell the truth or tell lies, so he could only say vaguely: "If I go back to my father-in-law, my master is indeed not at home. As for where he went, I really can't do it."

He Yunjie looked at him with lowered eyebrows, and after a moment he said, "Where is Princess Jingnan?"

The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat. He had just guessed whether Eunuch Feng was here for Princess Jingnan, and it seemed that he was right.

"Going back to my father-in-law, Princess Jingnan has never been to the house..." He said bravely.

But before he could finish speaking, his throat was slit with a knife.

Blood spattered out, and He Yunjie did not dodge or dodge, letting some of the blood splash on the corners of his clothes and blending with the bright red cloth.

The housekeeper covered his neck and made a gurgling sound in his throat. Then he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and lost his breath.

The people were shocked and dispersed without being evicted.

Han Zheng and your father-in-law looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Before setting off, Mr. Xiao Ge said that he was just looking for someone and not looking for trouble.

If a good person kills someone when he says it, isn't that called picking quarrels and causing trouble?

The guards of the General Military Mansion finally came to their senses and rushed forward with their swords drawn.

"Bold, what do you want to do?" Han Zheng scolded in a deep voice.

The first guard said: "We are guarding the mansion under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. No one is allowed to break in without your orders, let alone commit murder here."

"Master General Soldier?" He Yunjie sneered, "Our family has been ordered by the Emperor to pick up Princess Jingnan. Come and tell our family, which one is more powerful, Master Chief Soldier, or the Emperor?"

"..." The guard was left speechless by the question.

He Yunjie took out a royal gold medal from his sleeve and held it in his hand for everyone to see: "The Emperor is worried about the Queen Mother's illness. He is afraid that something may happen to the Princess on the way, so he specially ordered our family to come to rescue her. The Princess's safety is closely related to the Queen Mother's body. Who dares Being unfavorable to the princess is tantamount to murdering the queen mother. If any of you are not afraid of killing the nine tribes, please step forward and show us."

There was deathly silence all around, everyone was shocked by his powerful aura and did not dare to move.

"Very good, now let's ask again." He Yunjie said, pointing the long knife in his hand at a concierge, "Has the princess been here?"

The concierge looked ashen, frightened and embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

He Yunjie waited impatiently, frowned slightly, raised the knife and lowered it. The concierge and the housekeeper were cut off with one knife.

"Tell me, has the princess been here before?" He then pointed to another concierge.

The concierge immediately wet his crotch and said tremblingly: "Come on, I've been here before..."

"Have you ever left?" He Yunjie asked again.

The concierge shook his head: "No."

"Very good." He Yunjie nodded and walked past him toward the mansion, "Our family is going to go in and look for Princess Jingnan now. As long as no one stops us, we promise not to touch any plant or tree in the mansion. If anyone is there, If you dare to obstruct it, our family will burn the entire house to the ground."

The guards were intimidated by him and did not dare to stop him. They watched him cross the threshold with windy steps.

Han Zheng and your father-in-law hurriedly followed.

As soon as I turned around the screen wall, I met Fang Weijia, the wife of the general soldier, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"What are you going to do? This is the General Military Mansion..." Fang Weijia said loudly.

Before she could finish speaking, He Yunjie's knife was pressed against her throat.

Fang Weijia suddenly turned pale with fright and lost all her momentum.

She only recognized Han Zheng at the scene, so she said in a trembling voice: "Master Han, what does this mean?"

Han Zheng said: "Madam, don't be afraid, these are Eunuch Feng and your father-in-law from the capital. They are here to take Princess Jingnan to the capital."

"Princess Jingnan, hasn't she already left?" Fang Weijia said in surprise, "She left after my husband met with her last night."

"Oh?" Han Zheng and He Yunjie looked at each other and said, "Where is the Commander-in-Chief now?"

Fang Weijia looked down at the knife on her neck and had to tell the truth: "I heard from the housekeeper that it was Prince Liang who summoned her. Her husband sent Princess Jingnan away and went to Prince Liang's Mansion. She has not come back yet."

King Liang?

Han Zheng glanced at He Yunjie again, pondered for a moment and said: "Madam, I will tell you the truth. Princess Jingnan did not leave last night, but was secretly detained in the mansion by the general. As for whether his detention of the princess has anything to do with Prince Liang , we don’t know, but right now the Queen Mother is seriously ill and urgently needs the Princess to come to Beijing, and there can’t be any delay. If you want to keep this family and your husband, the only way is to help us find Princess Jingnan.”

Fang Weijia was stunned when she heard this. It took her a long time to digest it before she finally understood what Han Zheng meant.

"You mean, my husband colluded with Prince Liang to harm the Queen Mother?" She shook her head in disbelief, "No, this is impossible. It is impossible for our family to do this. My father and brother are loyal to the court. I The same goes for my husband, he always listens to his father the most, and he will not do that kind of thing."

Han Zheng didn't expect that she had thought so much about his casual remark, and he didn't correct him at the moment and just followed her words.

"I am naturally willing to believe Madam's words, but the facts are now in front of me. No matter what the truth is, Madam's top priority is to help find the princess to prevent the situation from getting out of control. By then, even if I want to help, there is nothing I can do."

"Okay, I understand." Fang Weijia nodded with a pale face, "Come with me. If my husband really held the princess hostage, he would definitely put her in jail in order to hide it from me."

"Thank you madam for your generosity." Han Zheng said.

He Yunjie took back the knife, and the three of them followed her towards the cell.

Fang Weijia wiped her tears as she walked away. At this time, she was so regretful that her intestines were blue.

"It's all my fault. My husband has repeatedly told me not to let the princess into the house. It was because I was so careless that I fell into the trap of the princess. If I didn't let the princess in, what happened next would not have happened. Mr. Han, please be careful. My father and brother are helping my family because they are officials in the same court. He is really not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding."

Han Zheng looked at this simple lady and naturally he would not agree to anything.

He Yunjie, on the other hand, was very interested: "How did the princess deceive you?"

Fang Weijia was just sad and didn't think much about it. She sobbed and told how Chu Zhao deceived her.

Han Zheng and your father-in-law couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Although He Yunjie still had a cold face, his mood could not help but fluctuate a little, and he also had some vague expectations.

The existence and rumors, letters and scheming woman in his imagination could now finally be seen in person.

He couldn't wait to see if that woman was worth him traveling thousands of miles day and night.

In the dungeon, Chu Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the ground, arranging troops on the ground with straw, teaching Aao the art of war.

Iron Hammer sat next to him, his burly body twisting around.

"Princess, when can we go out?"

"Princess, I'm hungry again, why haven't they come to deliver food?"

"Princess, will the prince really come to save us? How many days do you think it will take for him to arrive?"

"That depends on how quickly Mr. Qi delivers the letter." Chu Zhao said without raising his head, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

"That's right." A'ao said, "The princess is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Tie Zhui curled his lips and said, "I guess you are not in a hurry. You wish the prince would not come. Once the prince comes, you will not be able to learn the art of war with the princess."

Aao's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot when she inadvertently exposed her thoughts: "You are talking nonsense, I am not."

"You still don't admit it. You became unhappy as soon as the princess said that the prince was coming." Tie Zhui said.

Aao's face became even hotter and he wanted to retort when footsteps sounded outside.

The three of them immediately looked out warily.

I saw figures shaking outside the cell door, and then four people walked in.

They only knew Fang Weijia and your father-in-law, but had never met the other two.

But this does not prevent their eyes from falling on the same person at the same time.

Because that person was so outstanding and dazzling, he just walked over casually and stopped there casually, which made the whole cell feel bright and shining.

Chu Zhao dropped the straw in his hand and stood up slowly.

The two people's eyes intertwined across the fence, and for a moment, it seemed that the whole world became silent.
