Mr. Xiaoge seemed a little thinner than he had been in the past few days. The official uniform with wide robes and long sleeves made him feel quite weak.

It had been a long time since he received a letter from your father-in-law. Suddenly he saw a white dove landing in front of the window, which made him feel a little startled.

After a while, he caught the pigeon and took off the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's feet.

The plain white fingers with clear joints took out the letter and unfolded it. At a glance, he saw the words "Princess Jingnan was assassinated and was seriously injured and fell into coma."

He Yunjie's eyebrows skipped a beat, and the first thought that came to his mind was that the woman was playing tricks again.

He didn't believe that the woman who was as cunning as a thousand-year-old fox would actually be assassinated. Even if she was assassinated, she should have written and acted it herself.

He then looked down and saw a group of killers disguised as common people intercepting Chu Zhao on the road. The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and then he changed his mind.

Who could be so bold as to openly assassinate Princess Jingnan, knowing that she was escorted by five thousand soldiers and horses?

Why did they kill Princess Jingnan?

Want to intensify the conflict between King Jingnan and the court, so that the two parties can fight so that they can reap the benefits?

Or maybe she didn't want Princess Jingnan to treat the Queen Mother, and wanted to weaken the He family's power with the death of the Queen Mother?

Of course, it was not ruled out that it was both, but he could not imagine at the moment who was capable of organizing such a large-scale assassination?

Feng Guanlan?

It shouldn't be him, right?

He had just joined forces with Princess Jingnan to sway the He family, but suddenly he turned against Princess Jingnan and became ruthless for no reason, killing Princess Jingnan.

But besides him, who else in the capital has such ability?

He Yunjie put the letter into his sleeve pocket, left Wenyuan Pavilion, and went straight to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to find Feng Guanlan.

Feng Guanlan was reading the news in the cabinet newspaper about the transfer of Wuzhou officials.

"The He family was wise this time and didn't add anything to it." Feng Guanlan said to himself.

Before he finished speaking, He Yunjie walked in from outside.

"What Eunuch Feng said is that we don't want to add more. As long as you don't block it, see how much I can't add."

"Hey, Mr. Xiaoge is here?" Feng Guanlan put down the book and didn't get up to greet him. He spread his arms and legs and leaned on the chair to look at him. "I wonder if Mr. Xiaoge has any advice?"

He Yunjie didn't bother to pay attention to his weirdness, and directly slapped your father-in-law's letter in front of him: "Did you do it?"

"What did I do?" Feng Guanlan frowned, opened the letter and read every line, "Hey, Princess Jingnan was assassinated. Who is so bold?"

"How dare you say it's not you?"

He Yunjie's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, focusing on every small change in his expression.

"You dare, why don't you dare?" Feng Guanlan said, "Okay, why should I kill her? We have quite a pleasant cooperation."

There was a pause at this point: "Why do we feel that Mr. Xiaoge is more suspicious? You are not holding a grudge because of what happened last time and want her life, right?"

Hearing him mention what happened last time, Xiaoge Lao's cold and jade-like face showed a bit of shame and annoyance.

"The Queen Mother is my aunt. Do you think I would disregard my aunt's health for such a trivial matter?"

"That's true." Feng Guanlan said lazily, "If it's not you, it's not me, then who could it be?"

"This requires Eunuch Feng's Jin Yiwei to investigate carefully." He Yunjie said.

Only then did Feng Guanlan look at him: "What do you mean, Mr. Xiao Ge? What does this matter have to do with our family? Why do we need to use our royal guards?"

"Aren't you good partners?" He Yunjie said, "The princess gave Eunuch Feng a big gift. Doesn't Eunuch Feng want to repay the favor?"

"To be honest, I don't really want to." Feng Guanlan smiled coldly, "Xiaoge always knows that I have always been ruthless and selfish, and I don't like to meddle in other people's business."

"No matter what, you have to take care of it." He Yunjie's tone was unequivocal, "I will go and explain the situation to the Queen Mother. Eunuch Feng is responsible for finding out the mastermind behind the scenes. I am responsible for sending people to protect the princess. If anything happens to the princess again, you and I will It cannot be separated."

"..."

Feng Guanlan was speechless.

"I thought only shameless people like ours would act rogue. It turns out that the god-like figure like Mr. Xiao Ge is not unreasonable either." He spread his hands and said jokingly, "If King Jingnan knew that Mr. Xiaoge was so dedicated to serving his princess, Flower Protector, I wonder what you would think?"

He Yunjie grimaced and retorted: "Eunuch Feng, a rootless person, is so keen on linking everything to the relationship between men and women. Is it because the less you have, the more you care about?"

"..."

Feng Guanlan smacked his lips with a hurt expression on his face.

"Mr. Xiaoge's mouth is getting more and more harsh. Don't forget that you are a god. Gods don't like to talk like this."

He Yunjie was so annoyed with him that he didn't want to spend any more time talking to him, so he walked away with a cold face.

Feng Guanlan didn't keep him or see him off. He just sighed and said from behind, "Princess Jingnan has the ability. She can make us fight by ourselves without saying a word, and she can also make her enemy willingly protect her. It's really How wonderful, how wonderful!”

He Yunjie pursed his lips and walked away without looking back.

He and Princess Jingnan were not mortal enemies, and he was not protecting her just to protect her.

Everyone just has his own way and gets what he needs.

There are no permanent rivals or permanent friends in the court. He can cooperate with a shameless person like Feng Guanlan, let alone others?

As long as Princess Jingnan can cure the Queen Mother's illness, he can ignore everything else.

In Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother was lying listlessly on the couch. When she heard that Princess Jingnan had been assassinated, she sat up in shock.

"Who did it? Who wanted Yijia's life?"

He Yunjie rolled up his sleeves and did not answer.

The fact that my aunt can grasp this key point in an instant shows her sensitivity to power struggles.

It's a pity that she is a woman and can only live in the harem and rely on her natal family to consolidate her power.

If she were a man, she would surely be able to become the overlord.

There is also Princess Jingnan, who is also a woman. Her abilities are even worse than the Queen Mother.

If such a woman is not restrained, one day in the future when she rides on the wind, no one in the world will be able to compete with her.

"Yunjie, what are you thinking about?" the Queen Mother called.

He Yunjie came back to his senses and bowed: "I have handed over the mastermind behind the assassination of Princess Jingnan to Feng Guanlan to investigate. In addition, I will send additional personnel to escort Princess Jingnan to Beijing along the way. My aunt does not have to worry about this."

The Queen Mother was still frowning.

"Feng Guanlan is not of the same mind as us, and I'm afraid we can't count on him. In my opinion, you'd better go there in person and accompany Princess Jingnan to complete the rest of the journey safely, and wait for others to enter Beijing and stay there. Only when you enter the palace can the Ai family truly feel at ease."

"This……"

He Yunjie was surprised and turned to look at his father.

"You can go, but there is only one thing you must remember. Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy like last time." Mr. He Ge said.

He Yunjie smiled slightly, lowered his head and replied, "My son has written it down."

"Also." Mr. He Ge said again, "King Jingnan is determined to lead troops to the capital. You can let him join Princess Jingnan as appropriate. When they are about to arrive in the capital, my father will send troops. Ma pretends to be a rebel army and annihilates them in one fell swoop. At that time, your only task is to ensure that Princess Jingnan is alive."

He Yunjie did not show any surprise, and nodded: "My son also has this intention, and my father's idea coincides with mine."

"In that case, you should leave quickly, and remember to report the Jingnan Army's itinerary to your father at any time along the way." He Pingchuan said.

He Yunjie responded, bowed to the Queen Mother and left.

After leaving Ci'an Palace, a gust of autumn wind blew past, making his clothes sway and his long hair flying.

Looking up, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and geese are flying across the sky. Autumn is really coming.
