Suburbs of Beijing.

The night sky is dark.

Feng Juxu suddenly pulled the reins and made a gesture to stop.

Zhuyue looked around cautiously, not forgetting to ask the person with the best riding skills to go ahead and explore the way.

"The closer we are to arriving in the capital, the more careful we have to be. The journey has been too smooth, and I always feel like something is not quite right."

Everyone pulled out their weapons and saw the blood on the faces of those who were sent out. They shouted while riding horses:

"Master, leave quickly!"

Zhuyue and others were busy trying to pick up their exhausted comrade, but they didn't expect more than a dozen arrows to be fired at the back of the man whose face was covered with blood.

Feng Juxu frowned tightly and led Zhuyue and others towards the mountain, where there was a secret passage leading to the palace of Zhan Wang in the capital.

On the way towards the mountains, several more people sacrificed their lives to cover the departure of Feng Juxu and others.

After Feng Juxu and others abandoned their horses and entered the secret passage safely, there were only six people left around them.

The circles under Zhuyue's eyes were red. Those were the brothers who followed him through life and death, the ones who could come and go without a trace on the battlefield, the ones who managed to save their lives no matter how many times they went out on errands or were in danger. But he died in the suburbs of Beijing!

"When I return to the palace safely, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Feng Juxu patted Zhuyue heavily on the shoulder, and everyone headed straight towards Prince Zhan's Mansion.

But when he reached the mechanism in front of the secret passage, Feng Juxu stopped again.

[If you dare to set up an ambush in the suburbs of Beijing so blatantly, if you enter the capital from Prince Zhan's Mansion at this time, you will undoubtedly fall into a trap. ]

Feng Juxu, who was looking down in thought, quickly thought of a place, opened the door and headed towards the water prison.

Although there is no left prime minister in the court, Hua Weiliang in the water prison is still suffering.

When Feng Juxu and his men appeared in the water prison in a panic, the people guarding the water prison were startled.

"Your Majesty? Why are you here?"

Feng Juxu glanced at his subordinate who had shock written all over his face and waved his hand.

"Zhuyue, tie him up!"

The people in this water prison always know the rules. No matter what day or time he suddenly appears, it is completely normal.

Being so surprised can only mean that he believes that he will not be safe here at this time.

Looking at the tortured people in the water prison again, Feng Juxu's brows furrowed again.

Another guard quickly took out the key and opened the cell door. Feng Juxu strode into the water cell and directly pinched the chin of the man who had been tortured into a human shape, and touched his ears.

With just a "hiss-" sound, a damaged human skin mask appeared in Feng Juxu's hand.

The person who opened the door was shocked, and his knees became weak and he knelt on the ground.

Not only did Zhu Yue tie up the man, he also casually pulled a piece of black cloth from his waist, balled it up, and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

"Month after month, everyone in the water prison is being carefully examined by me one by one! I want to see how many people have been bribed!"

This piece of shit like Hua Weiliang can't be killed yet. There are still many things about him that have not been explained clearly. If he disappeared, I'm afraid the situation would be different again.

Feng Juxu didn't waste any more time and headed in the other direction alone.

There was a secret that he didn't tell anyone, not even his mother and his beloved wife.

He successfully climbed out of an abandoned dry well in Leng Palace and went straight to Fengyi Palace without stopping.

Although the emperor had his own Yangxin Hall to rest, Feng Juxu felt that it was not necessarily safe there.

The queen mother's palace may not be safe. Even if there is no chaos in the palace, her appearance in such a mess will make her mother worried.

Only the palace with flowers like brocade is the safest, because there is no serious master inside.

If a thoughtful person really breaks into the palace and finds that there are no flowers inside, he will definitely expand his scope and look for other places.

After Feng Juxu found his dragon robe in Fengyi Palace and changed it, he quickly arranged his appearance and headed towards the imperial study.

Royal study room.

Bright lights.

As soon as Feng Juxu walked to the door, he heard the voices of different people inside.

"The Queen Mother, I have something important to report, and I would like to see Your Majesty!"

"The country cannot live without a king for a day. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and has no heirs yet. But the Queen Mother should not be in charge of the country! The ancestors and emperors set the rules and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

"The Queen is just staying behind closed doors. Why is Your Majesty also staying behind closed doors? Could it be that the Su family has rebelled and the Queen Mother has killed Your Majesty and plans to become the empress?"

"I would like to ask the Queen Mother to return to the court! This world belongs to His Majesty! The subjects are His Majesty's subjects!"

"If the Queen Mother insists on being the demon queen who brings trouble to Chao Gang, don't blame me for not saving your dignity!"

Hearing the sound of drawing a sword, Feng Juxu stopped listening outside and kicked open the closed study door. What he saw was the civil and military ministers kneeling on the floor.

"You are so brave to break into the imperial study at night!"

The empress dowager's tense face softened a lot when she saw Feng Juxu. The mother and son quickly exchanged a look, and the empress dowager snorted coldly.

"If His Majesty hadn't mentioned that there are remnants of other countries in the court, and insisted on letting the Ai family perform a play with him, the Ai family would not know that there really is such a person in my Dafeng!"

The general who shouted the loudest and loudest, and even wanted to kill the Queen Mother, fell to the ground with the sword in his hand.

Feng Juxu didn't even look at him, and directly ordered the palace guards to tie up everyone in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty! My loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, and can be demonstrated by heaven and earth! I am really just worried about your safety!"

If one person complains about injustice, there will be a second and third person.

Feng Juxu sneered, "Yes, you are so loyal that you dare to break into the palace at night and approach the imperial study. You are really my 'loyal minister'! I forgot to ask, where did you get the token to break into the palace at night?" "

The old minister who was still crying choked for a moment, and Feng Juxu looked at Qian Jin, the imperial steward who straightened his waist for the first time.

"Have you forgotten what I said? How can you bear to not send someone to send me a message after your mother is so wronged? You can really delay time. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for your incompetence and take your head off? "

These words were obviously directed at Qian Jin, but the faces of the ministers who were kneeling on the ground turned pale.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Qian Jin naturally knew that these words were not meant for him, but he still had to pretend to be scared.

"Go and find out who is guarding the palace gate today, escort them all to prison, and wait to be punished!"

Qian Jin led a group of imperial guards and quickly came to the gate of the imperial city with His Majesty's token, and the matter quickly calmed down.

Beijing.

In a familiar private room of a restaurant.

"Master, His Majesty appeared in the imperial study and put all the troublemaking ministers into cells. The gatekeeper we bribed was also arrested."

The man in a long cloak standing at the window held the tea cup tightly and looked towards the palace gate.
