Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Wandering Palace.

"Your Highness?!"

Seeing Zhu Yunxi finally coming back, Hongyuan and Zining immediately took the initiative to greet him and saluted at the same time, their faces full of concern.

"Is something wrong?"

Looking at the expressions on their faces, Zhu Yunxi frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Why have you been gone for so long? Nothing happened?"

Hong Yuan did not answer, but asked slightly nervously.

Although she had concluded that nothing happened at Minghe Hall, because of Zi Ning's constant thoughts beside her just now, she was already not so sure.

"It's okay, what can happen?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved his hand and said, then walked straight to the front hall.

"Your Highness, it's dinner time. When will you have your meal?"

Zi Ning followed behind and asked with concern.

"Oh, I have already eaten at Minghe Hall, you can eat."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

Hong Yuan and Zi Ning were completely relieved when they heard that Zhu Yunxi had dinner in Minghe Hall.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report for my humble duty."

Hong Yuan, who was following him, bowed his hands and said softly.

"Let's talk later."

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Hongyuan, whose face was still a little solemn. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the back garden.

Zi Ning, Deng Chuan and others walked aside knowingly and did not choose to follow.

Back garden pavilion.

"what happened?"

Zhu Yunxi slowly sat on the chair, glanced at Hong Yuan with a solemn expression, and asked lightly.

"An hour ago, Feihu sent news that someone secretly met with King Yan's spy lurking in Kyoto. He should be from the north."

"Could it be that you came here because of what happened at the grocery store last time?"

Hong Yuan frowned and lowered her voice.

"Where are people?"

After Zhu Yunxi heard this, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and asked slowly.

"South Street, there is a cloth shop opened by King Yan's eyeliner that Cao Yan told you before, called Liuguang Cloth Shop."

Hong Yuan cupped her hands and answered without thinking.

"How many people came?"

Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.

"There is only one person, but he is very secretive. He is wearing a black robe. He has never seen his face, but it seems that his rank is not low."

Hong Yuan continued to answer without hesitation.

"one person?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard Hongyuan's answer, he murmured to himself and fell into deep thought.

"Prince Yan can't sit still anymore. Are you planning to take action against His Highness?"

Hong Yuan hesitated and continued.

"will not."

"Even if he has realized something, he will not choose to take action against me at this juncture, because this is the time when I and Jinxiu Palace are secretly competing. He will not intervene before the outcome is clear."

"Furthermore, with his power, he must have many informants in the palace. Grandpa Huang suspects that this palace and Jinxiu Palace are secretly competing for the throne. News must have reached his ears."

"This is not the time for him to gain the most benefit by taking action. He hopes that my second brother and I will fight harder so that he can reap the benefits, so he will never choose to intervene now."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"Then why did that person suddenly sneak into Kyoto?"

Hong Yuan asked in confusion.

"After all, we lost a few people inexplicably. We should send someone to find out what happened. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"However, this may be an opportunity we can take advantage of."

Halfway through Zhu Yunxi's words, an idea suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Hong Yuan asked curiously and expectantly.

"Recently, my second brother secretly sent the Cavalry Guard to track down the traitor, which has won the emperor's heart. Today in the Minghe Hall, the emperor has deliberately reminded me a few words, and we have to make some noise."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said thoughtfully.

"What are you going to do, Your Highness?"

Hong Yuan asked in anticipation.

"Don't you want to find out the traitor? Then let's give him a big gift and let him shine!"

"But the most urgent task is to find out first what the identity of the northern envoy who suddenly sneaked into Kyoto is and how important it is. The rest will be discussed later."

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, with a playful smile on his lips.

"Does His Highness want to use the investigation of traitors to turn the Second Emperor's grandson against King Yan?"

After Hong Yuan heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she asked in surprise.

"clever!"

Zhu Yunxi raised his head and glanced at Hongyuan approvingly, and said with satisfaction.

"I understand the humble position!"

Hong Yuan bowed her hands, agreed with a smile, and immediately went to send a message to the flying fox in the city.

Zhu Yunxi was sitting in the pavilion, turning his head to look at the sunset in the west, and an intriguing smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Since some people want to watch the excitement, it is better to completely muddy the water in Kyoto!

When the water is muddy, it is easier to catch fish!

...

In the night.

In the wing room in the backyard of Jiaofangsi.

"This is a humble job, please see your Majesty!"

Cao Yan, the head of the Jiaofang Department, knelt on the ground respectfully and bowed slightly nervously.

In front of him, an old man wearing a black robe with gray temples sat on a chair, coldly looking down at Cao Yan who was kneeling on the ground.

It was the black-robed old man from the north who appeared in Liuguang Cloth Village!

"Mr. Cao, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

After the black-robed old man was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"How dare you claim to be in charge in front of your Majesty? Your Majesty has betrayed your humble position!"

Cao Yan's face was slightly pale, he cupped his hands and said, not even daring to raise his head to look at the old man in black robe.

"I heard that you have made a lot of money over the years?"

The old man in black robe sneered and asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, it is true that this matter is true. However, people have been secretly sent back to Peiping and handed over to the prince. All the money earned by Beizhi has been secretly sent to the prince. There is absolutely no guarding and stealing. All profits have been recorded. If Your Majesty does not believe it, Beizhi will send the account books to you now. Bring it here for you to check.”

Cao Yan was shocked and said in horror.

"Humph, I never believe what is said in black and white. You keep the account books. Of course, you can keep them as you say."

The old man in black robe snorted coldly, waved his hands and said.

"this..."

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to the prince despite my humble position, and I will never dare to deceive you in any way!"

Cao Yan said seriously with a grimace, cold sweat already oozing out from his forehead.

"You don't need to explain. The prince believes in you, and I will naturally believe in you too."

"I just hope you remember your identity and don't forget who your master is because of greed!"

The old man in black robe looked at Cao Yan coldly and said word by word.

"You should remember your humble position!"

Cao Yan nodded vigorously and did not dare to answer without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty asked me to ask you, have you gained the trust of the Third Emperor's grandson?"

The old man in black robe paused, changed the subject, and asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to your Majesty, Beizi has tried his best to get close to the Third Emperor's grandson. Although I can't say that he has completely trusted Beizi, at least he has gradually regarded Beizi as one of his own. I believe that over time, I will be able to gain his complete trust!"

Cao Yan nodded and answered affirmatively.

"That's good. As long as you do things well, the prince will not treat you badly, otherwise..."

"Don't forget that your family is still in the North."

The old man in black robe looked at Cao Yan coldly and said in a deep voice.

"I understand the humble position!"

"Please rest assured, your Majesty and the prince, I will do my best to do my humble duty, and I will not give up even if I die!"

Cao Yan nodded and said firmly.

"very good."

"By the way, you have been lurking in Kyoto for many years, so you are naturally well-informed. How much do you know about the fire at the grocery store in the east of the city a few days ago?"

"Do you know who did it? Did our people suffer this misfortune because their identities were exposed?"

Then, the old man in black robe looked at Cao Yan seriously and asked in a deep voice.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I have also secretly investigated this matter in my humble position, but such a big thing has happened. No matter how much I secretly investigated, I still couldn't find any clues. It's simply unbelievable!"

"Therefore, I infer that this matter was either an accident, or the person who did it has a very strong background and has extremely deep power in Kyoto!"

Cao Yan sighed and explained helplessly.

After hearing Cao Yan's answer, the old man in black robe frowned obviously and stared at Cao Yan for a long time without blinking.

However, he didn't see anything wrong on Cao Yan's face, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Do you know that Fei Qing secretly conspired with Lan Yu's remaining party to assassinate the Third Emperor's grandson?"

Immediately afterwards, the old man in black robe continued to ask in a deep voice...
