Shangguan Zimeng shook her head decisively: "Absolutely not."

"So, the relationship between them is not stable. When the interests of one side are unbalanced, they will kill each other. If that really happens, it will be a good time for us to take action and eliminate them in one fell swoop."

She nodded and praised him generously, "Husband, you are so smart. I really admire you."

Yan Kaiyu was overjoyed by the compliment, and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "My beloved, don't say so many useless things. You know what's going on tonight."

Shangguan Zimeng blushed instantly, scratched her itchy ears, and said, "No, I don't understand."

"don't know?"

"Yup."

He teased her deliberately and said, "It seems that I didn't do well enough on my first night. I must work harder tonight to make you, my beloved, understand a little more."

She already had a picture in her mind, and she swallowed nervously, like a child who had made a mistake, lowering her head and not daring to say a word.

Just when this ambiguous atmosphere was about to reach its climax, Huaying arrived outside the door with the emperor's oral instructions.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's order"

Yan Kaiyu, whose interest was disturbed, let go of the person in his arms reluctantly.

Shangguan Zimeng felt relieved and drank some water to calm herself down.

"What did the Emperor say?"

Hua Ying began to convey the emperor's words, which roughly meant: "The group of people who surrounded the inner city of Qianfan City suddenly withdrew two days ago. General Wang Liao took the opportunity to arrest several riot leaders. Here is the list. Please take a look, Your Majesty. According to them, they were bewitched by a woman who gave them a lot of money and promises to make them do so."

Yan Kaiyu took the list, glanced at it and put it in his arms. He didn't care about this now. What interested him was that the riot ended two days ago, so why there was still no news about Mu Yu and Mu Xuan.

"People die for money, birds die for food, what else does the emperor say?"

"The Emperor also said that after this incident, all matters concerning this matter will be handed over to the Prince, and he will no longer interfere."

Yan Kaiyu was now somewhat worried about the safety of the Mu brothers, and said absentmindedly, "I understand."

Huaying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will return to the palace first."

He nodded: "By the way, ask Wudu to come in."

A moment later, Wudu entered the main hall, and with him came Mu Yu, who had just returned home.

Yan Kaiyu made sure that no one followed them in, and asked worriedly, "Why are you alone? Where's Mu Xuan?"

Shangguan Zimeng was also wondering why one person was missing.

Mu Yu knelt down and said, "Don't worry, my lord. My brother is hunting Chu Wan."

Yan Kaiyu finally let go of his worries and asked impatiently, "What happened these days? Why didn't you send anyone back to inform us of the end of the riot two days ago?"

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my incompetence."

"Come back and you're innocent. Tell me what happened?"

Mu Yu immediately reported: "Your Highness, this is what happened. Three days ago, after my brother and I met up, we wanted to capture Chu Wan and the others. However, she was too cunning, and we fell into the trap, and lost a lot of brothers in vain."

"Later, because this incident alerted the enemy, Chu Wan left her hiding place. After we learned the news, we wanted to avenge our previous defeat, so we attacked her on the way and severely injured her. However, her men fought to the death to protect her, allowing her to escape. Until now, we have not seen her whereabouts."

"My brother and I felt ashamed for not being able to complete the task assigned by the prince, so we were too embarrassed to tell the prince. We thought that we would make up for it after finding Chu Wan, but after two days of searching, there was still no result. I was afraid that the prince would get anxious if he waited any longer, so I rushed back and asked my brother to continue the pursuit."

Yan Kaiyu personally helped him up and said, "Go down and rest first, and leave the rest to me. You will tell Wudu about Chu Wan's last whereabouts and the specific details later. I have something else to deal with first."

Wu Du and Mu Yu left the main hall.

Shangguan Zimeng stepped forward and asked, "Husband, is there anything more important than catching Chu Wan?"

"your business."

"Mine? What's going on?"

"follow me."

……

In Qingxin Pavilion, Shangguan Zimeng looked at the man in front of her whom she had never seen before and asked, "Husband, please introduce me to him."

Yan Kaiyu took the letter from the man and introduced: "This is Dongting, one of the secret guards, now responsible for delivering messages. He just came back from Wangyue Mountain and brought back a letter..."

Hearing the place name, Shangguan Zimeng immediately became excited and snatched the envelope from his hand: "Shut up, don't talk. Is this written by the old Taoist priest? Let me take a look first, and then you can take a look."

Yan Kaiyu didn't dare to get angry and could only smile and obey.

Dongting was shocked by the scene before him, especially the fact that the prince's expression did not show any anger at all, and even seemed a little doting. What was going on?

"My lord, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I'm fine." Yan Kaiyu continued with a happy face: "This is the princess. You haven't been in the mansion for a long time, so you don't know."

Dong Ting was a little nervous. He bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Princess. My name is Dong Ting, and I am the secret guard of the… the prince."

Shangguan Zimeng handed the letter to Yan Kaiyu and smiled at Dongting, "Hello."

Dongting lowered his head in bewilderment.

She felt strange, pulled Yan Kaiyu's sleeve, and asked softly: "What's wrong with him? He seems a little uncomfortable. Is he too tired?"

Yan Kaiyu smiled and explained, "Don't think too much. Dongting is just afraid of strangers. He gets nervous and stutters easily when he meets strangers. He gets flustered. You'll get used to it."

Shangguan Zimeng nodded and continued to deliberately look at this shy boy with handsome appearance. Yan Kaiyu read the letter on the side and let her do so.

Dong Ting seemed to sense that someone was staring at him, and felt uncomfortable all over, so he requested, "Your Majesty, I will go down first."

"Go."

After he left, Shangguan Zimeng laughed: "Haha, he is too afraid of strangers. But, I think he is quite cute like this."

Yan Kaiyu patted her head jealously and said unhappily, "You are not allowed to praise men other than me as cute."

Shangguan Zimeng touched his face and said, "Okay, okay, Prince, you are the cutest. Is that ok?"

"That's pretty much it."

"Children."

"I am pleased." Yan Kaiyu waved the letter in his hand: "The old Taoist priest asked me to go see him alone and asked you to come to Wangyue Mountain in a month. Then he will answer all the questions you want to ask."

"I know. I get angry when I mention this." Shangguan Zimeng pouted, her face full of anger: "He's clearly on the mountain, but he still made me wait for a month."

"I guess he's afraid that Cen Yi will see you, and that the two of you will end up fighting to the death."
