The eldest son of the Nalan family took off his mask, revealing his picturesque, elegant and unparalleled appearance, "Lost?"

"The girl went into a clothing store and then disappeared. I searched the alley in the backyard but didn't see her."

The followers still haven't figured out how he could have tracked and lost an ordinary woman.

"Escape." The eldest son of the Nalan family spoke slowly with a cold look in his eyes.

"She is indeed extraordinary."

"The eldest master suspects that she is..." Prince Chu.

The follower couldn't say the last three words. After all, he really couldn't believe that the Prince of Chu, who was able to fight his way out of the siege on his own, could actually sneak into Zhuozhou by wearing women's clothes.

"Not necessarily, but she must be related to Chu Qibai." The eldest son of the Nalan family pushed open the window, and the squeaking pigeon outside the window soon fell into his hand, and he took out the note from it.

Chu Qibai, if this man grows up, he will definitely be the biggest rival of the Nalan family in the future.

Nalan has already joined the Seventh Prince's camp, so she will not change easily. The content on the note was sent by spies in the capital.

In addition to telling the story of Zhou Yichen sending a message to Zhou Jialiang and Zhou Qiyu, there is also... the situation in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

"A few pigeons were released from the mansion where Prince Yan lives, and two of them flew to the capital." The eldest son of the Nalan family seemed to be talking to himself, but he didn't say anything else.

The followers knelt on the ground, not daring to speak or stand up.

Until Young Master Nalan in the room seemed to remember that there was a person kneeling in the room. He didn't even turn his head, just stared at the fingers in his hand and said coldly.

"Go down and receive the punishment yourself."

The attendant seemed to have guessed that his master would say such a thing, and nodded without surprise, "Yes, Master.

The situation in Yunzhou City is now a target that many people are keeping a close eye on. Zhou Yichen unceremoniously transmitted the situation in Yunzhou City to Beijing over an expedited distance of 800 miles.

In less than a day, a memorial describing the tragic situation in Yunzhou City that night was delivered to the desk of His Majesty the Emperor.

It is a pity that despite such a devastating disaster in Yunzhou, His Majesty was still able to enter the harem in high spirits and dote on his favorite Concubine Jiang in recent days.

Lady Jiang was a tribute girl sent to the capital by the Kingdom of Japan. Her identity was unknown, but her appearance was exceptionally outstanding and she knew how to win favor.

So much so that His Majesty, who has gradually favored the concubines in the harem less in recent years in order to achieve immortality, is extremely fond of Concubine Jiang.

The favor of Concubine Jiang disrupted the balance of the harem, except for Concubine De, Concubine Xian and others who already had princes who had grown up.

Most of their energy was focused on their son's fight for the throne, and they didn't take Concubine Jiang's petty quarrels seriously.

If such a person had appeared ten years ago, or seven or eight years ago, and was the most favored in the harem, they would naturally have to... be on guard.

Your Majesty is over the age of knowing one's destiny, and will have to abdicate soon. Even if Concubine Jiang is really pregnant, you cannot let a baby in swaddling clothes ascend the throne.

However, this matter was eventually known to many ministers, and some court officials who were truly dedicated to the country and the people were disheartened.

They are not unaware of His Majesty's absurdities over the years, but Emperor Tianwu was not the only emperor in history who wanted to achieve immortality. As long as nothing serious goes wrong, they will turn a blind eye to his thoughts.

After all, grass has grown on the graves of the two court officials who gave advice.

Who wouldn't value his life? After killing two ministers who had advised the emperor, no one dared to be the first to take action.

I won't be able to stay on the dragon throne for long just holding His Majesty. In the future, I will just need to assist the new emperor.

The disaster situation in Yunzhou was reported by Zhou Yichen's group of court officials and censors in front of all the civil and military officials the next day. This made the emperor, who had spent a ridiculous night and had not even had time to read the memorial, look very unhappy.

The censors have always had the privilege of reporting other people's crimes without being beheaded. Of course, it is possible that His Majesty would drag them down and behead them if he got too angry.

But that had to be done in order to have it recorded in the history books that on such and such a day, the Censor wrote about the disaster and was angered by the Emperor Tianwu who ordered him to be dragged down and beheaded.

Such a record would make Emperor Tianwu bear a bad reputation for thousands of years after his death. Even if Emperor Tianwu was incompetent and had a bad temper, he could not help but care about the evaluation of him by future generations.

Because of this, the censor's life was saved. Emperor Tianwu once again blamed Zhou Yichen, Prince of Yan, and felt that this son was incompatible with him.

Under the kneeling pleas of many court officials, Emperor Tianwu still ordered people to allocate a lot of food, medicinal materials, and supplies and had someone lead a team to escort them to Yunzhou City.

Emperor Tianwu was incompetent, but the court officials were not stupid. This was a hot potato that was not easy to handle. Any mistake during the escort might delay the opportunity and bring eternal infamy.

After several debates, and with the strong recommendation of the second and fourth princes, the prime minister's son, Rong Jinfeng, whose courtesy name was Qingzhu, was chosen.

From the name the prime minister gave to Rong Jinfeng, we can see that he was full of expectations for this legitimate son. He hoped that Rong Jinfeng would be like green bamboo, with the demeanor of a gentleman and perseverance.

The prime minister's face did not look good. When his son received the order in front of the palace, he did not say anything, but there was worry in the depths of his eyes.

They were accompanied by a thousand Jinwu Guards, led by Tang Yuhuai, son of General Zuo and the champion of the martial arts examination the year before. It is worth mentioning that both of them were royalists who did not take sides.

General Zuo and the Prime Minister saw their legitimate son being pushed out by the two princes, and as chess pieces after the game, they had indescribable emotions in their hearts.

No one present should want their son to go, as the number of plague patients in Yunzhou has reached three thousand, and any intelligent person can understand the plans of the princes.

They hoped that Prince Yan's trip would fail and that he would die in Yunzhou.

Then, the journey for them who are escorting the supplies will definitely not be peaceful.

Rong Jinfeng and Tang Yuhuai, the two pawns that were pushed out, had no say on whether they were willing or not. They set off immediately after the Ministry of Revenue prepared all the supplies.

The presence of the Jinwu Guards added considerable difficulty to the princes, and no one knew how they were going to act.

The only usable sword in the Seventh Prince's hand, Nalan, would naturally be transferred away. Compared to Chu Jiang, their top priority was the supplies escorted by Rong Jinfeng and others.

Chu Xi, who was far away in Zhuozhou, had no idea that Zhou Yichen had deliberately exposed a court official from his own camp in order to protect her, which had also made His Majesty unhappy.

Although the trip took a detour, the Nalan family in Zhuozhou City was indeed successfully transferred away.

Chu Xi went to investigate the city on purpose but found nothing unusual. Yun Zishu seemed to know who Chu Jiang was hiding from and sent people to track down a group of men in black entering the city.

Within a day, he left in a hurry the next day and told Chu Xi about it.

Chu Xi thought for a moment, "Thank you, cousin."

Within a day, Yun Zishu sent people to secretly gather medicinal materials that could treat plague from many pharmacies in the city. The prescription was brought by Chu Xi.

Yun Zishu smiled and said, "Qi Bai has become more polite now, which really makes me uncomfortable."

Chu Xi recalled that the original owner treated Zhou Yichen with the courtesy of a monarch and his subject, but was rather flamboyant in front of other people.

The polite greetings soon ended.

"This is not asking for anything in return, but just trying to put on a show."

Chu Jiang's smiling face made Yun Zishu couldn't help laughing.
