However, it didn't take long before the housekeeper left and returned.

Qiu Ye frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The housekeeper said: "Your Majesty sent Yun Yi to guard the inner court and blocked all the passages, saying that they were investigating spies. Unless there is an edict from the Emperor, no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Qiu Ye's eyes suddenly sank, and he smiled angrily: "This is even my uncle who is on guard."

The housekeeper smiled embarrassingly with a chubby face, and said: "Nowadays, people in the inner court are panicking, maybe they are really investigating carefully."

"You don't have to comfort me like that."

Qiu Ye waved his hand, ordering him to step back, gathered up his fur coat, and continued to play chess on the chessboard.

When it was almost evening, the housekeeper came over to report: "Da Zhu Kingdom, your lord is here."

Qiu Ye was not surprised. He changed the water and re-boiled the tea before letting people in.

Zhao Yan performed the junior salute, took a seat opposite, and said: "I heard that my uncle sent someone to the inner court? If there is something to do, my uncle will just tell my nephew, why do you have to do the labor yourself?"

Qiu Ye didn't answer, and asked, "Has the mastermind behind this matter been found out?"

Zhao Yan said: "Uncle must have heard the news that Zhang Jing sent the blood fox fur into the inner court using the night wolf's spy work to scare that little thing."

Qiu Ye shook his head: "You know I'm not referring to this matter."

The water in the tea stove has begun to boil.

Zhao Yan poured a bowl for Qiu Ye first, then poured it for himself, then smiled and said, "I don't know what uncle is referring to?"

Qiu Ye snorted, and said, "Stop being sloppy in front of me."

He looked up at his nephew, as if he was still looking at the stubborn boy who was taught under his knees back then. "Let me ask you, who killed the members of the Chu Lang Department with the Spirit Snake Blade of the Night Wolf Department, and then dumped the corpses in the camp of the Chu Wolf Department, causing bloody conflicts between the two departments. And who is maliciously provoking the Sirius The conflict between the sixteenth part and you, the new king?"

"That's why."

Zhao Yan took a sip of tea calmly and said, "Uncle misunderstood, there is no mastermind behind this matter."

Qiu Ye stood up to help the case in surprise: "What did you say?"

Zhao Yan smiled casually, and said: "My nephew said that there is no behind-the-scenes host of this matter, it is all my nephew's plan."

Qiu Ye's face suddenly changed, his chest heaved violently for a moment, he couldn't bear it anymore, he picked up a cup of herbal tea and poured it over.

"Bullshit!"

"Are you awake now?"

"For a little fox cub, you don't even want the face of the king of a country!"

Zhao Yan calmly wiped off the herbal tea and tea leaves that were running down his face, and sighed: "Uncle, calm down. My nephew was also harassed in every possible way because of the matter of becoming a queen, so he was confused for a while and used some extreme methods."

"Stand up, stand up?!"

Qiu Ye opened his eyes wide and looked at his nephew sitting across from him in amazement. He was so angry that he vomited blood. In an instant, he slapped the table hard and reprimanded him sharply: "Because of the bloody remonstrance of the secretary Litai, Feng and Zhu joined forces. The other ministries are secretly stumbling you, and you, the majestic king of a country, will use this kind of shady method to deal with his subjects? Have you lost all your royal prestige and your country's laws!"

With this collision of qi and blood, Qiu Ye's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground directly.

"Uncle!" "Dazhu Kingdom!"

Zhao Yan's complexion changed, and he went to help him, but Qiu Ye shook off his hand and said to the housekeeper, "Go, get the whip!"

"what?"

The butler was also confused now.

Although the new king was educated at the knees of the Dazhu Kingdom since he was a child, since the king ascended the throne, the Dazhu Kingdom has never lifted the whip.

"go with!"

Qiu Ye gave another sharp order.

The butler was so embarrassed that Zhaoyan finally said, "Listen to Da Zhuguo's order", and the butler went to the ancestral hall to fetch things in fear.

Zhao Yan Zhanpao knelt down and said: "My nephew has failed my uncle's teachings, and I am willing to be punished by the clan rules."

**

Yunyi waited until night fell completely, and only then did she wait for Zhaoyan to come out.

Seeing that Junshang's hair crown was stained with water, his outer robe was also wet, and his heroic face was much paler than before, he asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, this is...?"

The whip wound on the back screamed sharply, Zhao Yan licked the corners of his chapped lips with some toothache, and said: "It's nothing, go back to the palace first."

While speaking, he had already rolled over on the unicorn, Yun Yi didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly followed, the two arrived at the gate of the palace one after the other, when they saw a tall figure standing on the palace road.

"The last general, Xuezheng, kowtows to Your Majesty."

Xuezheng knelt down on one knee and saluted in front of the Qilin beast.

Zhao Yan looked indifferent: "If it is to plead for Bai Jing, then there is no need."

Xuezheng gritted his teeth, and did not back down, saying: "The dispute between the concubine and the concubine of the Bai family has always been fierce. The emperor deprived him of the position of leader and let a concubine take over. Isn't this killing him?"

"Ah Jing has always been proud and arrogant, how could he endure such humiliation. I hope that your majesty will be sympathetic to his weakness and take it back."

Zhao Yan sneered: "He's not a little girl, he's a man of seven feet, if he can't even bear this humiliation, even if I return the position of leader to him, he can't afford to be so weak."

"Your Majesty!"

Zhaoyan ignored him, and entered the palace directly following Qilin.

Yunyi sighed, stepped forward to help him up, and said: "Chief Xue is willing to speak up for his friends, which is naturally worthy of admiration, but this time Bai Jing touched the king's back, and the king just deprived him of the position of leader and did not pursue it." Others are treated leniently. Instead of blocking your lord here and making unnecessary pleadings, you might as well try to persuade Bai Jing."

Xuezheng smiled wryly: "I know, but I'm really worried that Ah Jing will be ruined and ruin his future."

Yunyi patted him on the shoulder: "Everyone has his own destiny. Your Majesty is not a narrow-minded person. As long as he sincerely reforms in the future, Your Majesty may not give him another chance."

"Thank you, General Yun." Xuezheng and Yunyi saluted lightly, said goodbye and left.

Yunyi went to the Hall of Qinzheng and reported to Zhaoyan what they found today.

"Chu Rui was afraid that people would find out about his secret work, so he had already ordered people to remove the secret face of the corpse, but at least he kept some brains, in order to preserve evidence, he did not completely destroy the corpse. A burn on the right thumb of the corpse confirmed that the deceased was the person who held the lamp. At the end of the day, all the on-duty workers at the Demon Suotai took turns to examine the corpse. The servant named Ruyi was killed with a knife and wounded in the heart. The shape of the wound is exactly the same as that of the Spirit Snake Blade, so it can be basically concluded that the person died under the Spirit Snake Blade."

Zhaoyan frowned: "What do you mean it can be basically determined?"

Yun Yi said: "Because it cannot be ruled out, there is another weapon in this world that has the same width and thickness as the Spirit Snake Blade."

"However, as early as when Laojun was in power, in order to clarify military achievements and avoid stealing merits, each department would design its own characteristics when forging weapons to avoid being similar to other departments. Furthermore, all the weapons forging of Sirius They are all under the unified management of Bingmatai. If there is a weapon so similar to the Spirit Snake Blade in Tianhuan City, Bingmatai will not be unaware. But at the end of today, I will go to Simatai to have people check all the existing weapon archives, and No weapons similar to the Spirit Snake Blade have been found."

"So." Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "If there is such a weapon, it must not be from Sirius."

Yunyi nodded: "In addition, the servant who died was of the body of the eunuch, with at least a fifth-level cultivation base. If he wants to kill a fifth-level expert in the inner court without anyone knowing it, or kill him with one blow, the assailant will be killed regardless of his cultivation base or reaction. The speed must be excellent. Judging by the final judge, at least a master of level six or above is required."

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Yi said, "Except for the missing Ma Xiang whose specific cultivation level is unknown, currently in the inner court, the only masters above the sixth rank are..."

"It won't be him."

Zhao Yan interrupted him lightly.

"The last general made a slip of his tongue." The hall was silent for a moment because of this topic, and seeing Zhaoyan groaning on the case with his fingers, Yun Yi couldn't help but worry and said: "If such a master is really hidden in the inner court without being discovered, it is too dangerous. Do you think that the inner court should be directly sealed off and a comprehensive investigation should be carried out?"

Zhao Yan asked: "You searched for a day today, did you find anything?"

Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and said: "The general is incompetent, and indeed he has nothing to gain today, but if your lord gives the general some more time, the general believes that he will be able to find him out."

"Not necessarily."

Zhao Yan twitched the corners of his lips, and laughed inexplicably: "I didn't find out the first time, but the second time the cunning rabbit will only hide deeper. Do you think he can kill people in the inner court without anyone noticing?" Will it give you a chance to catch it?"

"What does your majesty mean?"

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes again, and sighed helplessly: "What I mean is that you don't need to go to the inner court for now, and try your best to track down Ma Xiang's whereabouts. There must be important clues about the disappearance of this man."

"Yes."

After Yunyi left, Yin Zhu, who had been guarding outside the hall, dared to come in and ask, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, do you want to go back to Chenyang Hall to rest?"

Zhaoyan glanced at him and said, "Go to Huifeng Palace."

He was kicked yesterday, and his chest was still aching. Yin Zhu saw that Xinjun was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to talk anymore, and went to arrange Yunche.

**

There was a cloud car instead, but within a moment, Chang Ling was brought in by Yin Zhu.

Zhao Yan waved his hand, Yin Zhu retreated knowingly.

The entire hall was lit with only a few shark lanterns, and Chang Ling was wrapped in a cloak. After seeing Zhao Yan sitting on the desk, he concentrated on reading the memorial in his hand, with a calm expression, and a cold light between his eyebrows and eyes, neither opening nor speaking. Looking up, he took off the cloak and hung it aside, then walked to the imperial case, and whispered "husband".

The voice of the little thing is soft and waxy, which is indeed impossible to ignore.

Zhaoyan finally raised his eyebrows: "Here we come."

There was no sound from behind.

Zhao Yan's gaze fell, only to realize that probably because he came out in a hurry, the little thing was only wearing a plain pajamas, although it was also made of silk, there was no soft belt around his waist.The bright and shadowy blood jade collar was still half hidden in the pajamas, but the two vermilion dots were displayed on the white skin at the round neck of the silk robe, very eye-catching.It must have been a rash that hadn't gone away.

He asked, "Why do you wear so little?"

Chang Ling said: "I'm afraid my husband will wait in a hurry."

Zhao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are so sensible."

Seeing the little thing looking at him obediently, with black eyes as clear as stars, whether it is harmless to humans or animals, Zhao Yan asked: "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Chang Ling replied: "Serve your husband."

He talked to one husband, calling him as close as possible. If he was lying on the couch at this moment, he would be a charming little fairy.

Zhaoyan propped up his chin with great interest, patted his legs, and said, "Come here."

Chang Ling stepped back and whispered, "I have a rash..."

"Come here as soon as I tell you to come."

His voice suddenly became cold, and the familiar haze appeared in his eyes again.

Chang Ling didn't dare to provoke him, so he obediently walked over. As soon as he reached the edge of the seat, an iron palm clamped his waist and lifted him to his lap.

His actions could be described as rough, and the long spirit was in pain, and a layer of water vapor instantly appeared in the black eyes.

Zhao Yan clamped the person with one hand, opened the drawer with the other, and took out a palm-sized round box from inside.Before Chang Ling could react, his body lightened, and he had already placed him on the case.

The memorial notes that were piled up on the desk were immediately scattered all over the place.

The surface of the desk was smooth, and both feet were hanging in the air. Chang Ling had to grasp the edge of the desk with both hands so as not to fall off.
