Regent, he has my cub

After sending Yun Youqing back to the room, Ji Xuanling walked back happily under the moonlight.

But before he got close to the palace gate, he met the unkempt and haggard Le Zhengchun on the road.

"Yuan Pu, what are you... doing?" It was like being abused.

"The minister led people to check the files of missing persons in the capital for the past two years, and finally found some clues." Le Zhengchun was holding a thick stack of documents, and he was still dizzy. He didn't realize that he was here Looking for him, "Why is Your Majesty still outside so late?"

Ji Xuanling touched his nose, embarrassed to say that he almost forgot about it.

He looked at Le Zhengchun who had been abused by him, and patted him on the shoulder with complicated emotions, "This is not a place to talk, let's go back to Changning Palace first."

At this time, the gate of the palace had already been locked, and Le Zhengchun was too busy. If he hadn't met Ji Xuanling by chance, he might have made his trip in vain.

Probably seeing how pitiful he was, Ji Xuanling asked Chen Ting, who had been waiting behind the door early in the morning, to go to the dining room to get some food.

Le Zhengchun was not polite to him, and talked about his discovery while eating, "I have screened and listed all the missing persons cases and trafficking cases in the past two years, and most of them happened in this area. .”

He dipped his finger in the tea and drew a rough picture on the table.

After careful identification, Ji Xuanling realized that he was referring to the northern suburbs of the capital and Yanzhou in the north.

And the location that Gu Yanlin revealed was among them.

Le Zhengchun took a sip of water, and continued: "Compared with other places, this frequency is too abnormal, but if His Majesty hadn't asked the minister to investigate, no one would have found something wrong."

"If all these crime locations were drawn, the most likely place they used to hide their children would be..."

"Shishan..." The two said in unison.

Le Zhengchun was surprised, and then remembered what they asked from Lu Siyong earlier, "Gu Yanlin said?"

"It's him..." Ji Xuanling nodded.

His impression of Gu Yanlin was still from the day he burned the Gu family's mansion, but after meeting him today, Ji Xuanling found that he couldn't see through him.

This man showed no desire for power and money, and he didn't even care if it offended or annoyed him.The only time they could see their emotions was when they mentioned Lu Siyong.

But strange to say, Ji Xuanling just had an intuition that he didn't have any malicious intentions.

Even if there is, this malice is not aimed at them.

Today he deliberately said those words to Yun Youqing, although it was largely for Lu Siyong's sake, but he might not have meant to remind them.

Based on Gu Yanlin's malice towards his father, perhaps, Gu Wenhan is also inseparable from what happened 12 years ago.

Ji Xuanling thought for a long time, and said to Le Zhengchun: "It's too late now, you go back and rest first, and discuss a detailed plan together tomorrow."

Le Zhengchun only thought that he was sympathetic to himself, until he saw Yun Youqing again in Changning Palace the next day, he didn't know that Ji Xuanling's so-called "together" also included the regent.

"Uncle Huang, try this again."

Just because when Ji Xuanling asked him if he had had breakfast when Yun Youqing came, he replied casually "no rush", so Ji Xuanling asked Chen Ting to go to the imperial dining room and order a table full of people to come over.

Although everything is exquisite and the quantity is not much, his enthusiasm is still unbearable as always.

Yun Youqing thought it was a bit too much at first, but he didn't expect to eat more than half of it after taking one bite at a time.

Does he have such a large appetite on weekdays?

Yun Youqing, who had never cared about this question before, couldn't help feeling puzzled after the plates in front of him were emptied one by one.

Ji Xuanling didn't realize that his uncle had already eaten a lot, and he tried to continue to put it in his bowl.

Le Zhengchun: "..."

Your Majesty is feeding... livestock?

Besides, we haven't seen each other for a few days, so it seems that the relationship between His Majesty and the Prince Regent is much more harmonious than before.

It is a kind of harmony that no one else can penetrate.

Le Zhengchun's brows were filled with deep worry.

"Yuan Pu is here? Do you want to sit down and have some breakfast together?" Ji Xuanling said politely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I already ate at home when I came." Le Zhengchun felt that Ji Xuanling's invitation was very insincere, but who made him His Majesty, he had to thank him before he refused.

After being polite, Ji Xuanling really didn't care about him anymore, seeing Yun Youqing put down his chopsticks, he waved his hand to ask people to remove the things on the table, then got up and found another place to sit down.

"The people sent to investigate have returned, and their people are indeed in Shishan." Speaking of business, Ji Xuanling's expression was still very serious, "The security there is heavily guarded, and the guards patrol in turns. It is difficult to get in, and it is hard to tell. How many people are there?"

The most important thing in this case is to destroy their dens, and finding evidence to question Gu Wenhan is the second priority.After all, with the prudence of this old fox, he would never let them get caught easily.

Taking away the den behind him in one fell swoop is enough to make him feel jealous, and if he wants to take Joe in the future, he has to find out where his confidence lies.

What's more, there are many abducted children waiting for them to rescue.

As for the evidence, they have plenty of time to find it slowly.

The question now is how to mobilize people quietly without being noticed.

Ji Xuanling has an idea, but he still needs to ask Yun Youqing for his opinion.

"I remember that the emperor's birthday is coming soon."

Yun Youqing understood his meaning almost immediately, "Your Majesty wants to hold a birthday banquet for the minister, so as to hold back Gu Wenhan?"

There are less than five days before Yun Youqing's birthday, although it is too hasty to propose it at this time, it is indeed the best way at present.

"Where does Your Majesty plan to recruit manpower?" Le Zhengchun asked suddenly.

This question sounds incredible, but in fact, Ji Xuanling really does not have a large number of people who can be mobilized.

The Imperial Forest Army is responsible for guarding the imperial city, and they will not change easily, while the people in other places are either useless, or mixed with good and bad people, and have too many eyeliners, so they cannot be completely trusted.

After thinking about it, I really can't pick anyone out.

This emperor is really miserable, what kind of life did he live in the past!Ji Xuanling thought desolately.

He turned his head to look at his royal uncle pitifully.

Yun Youqing, holding a heavy soldier in his hand, cupped his hands and said, "The Longwu Army is always at your Majesty's disposal."

In the morning court the next day, Ji Xuanling casually mentioned that he would hold a birthday banquet for the emperor's uncle, and there was a moment of silence in the Golden Palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Yun Youqing said, and cast a cold glance at them, "Why, my lords have objections to Your Majesty's grace."

After he came back from the border, he appeared very comfortable, and some people who were originally vacillating inevitably had other thoughts.

In previous years, Yun Youqing's birthday has never been a big deal, let alone he is not a full year old this year.It was so grand all of a sudden that this incident sounded like Yun Youqing specially asked His Majesty to make a face for him, so as to remind some restless people in the court that his position as regent is still very stable.

Everyone analyzed the see-saw between His Majesty and the Regent, but no one thought that this was actually a situation set up by them.

To be on the safe side, only he, Uncle Huang, and Le Zhengchun knew about this matter.For this reason, after Ji Xuanling came to court, he had to listen to the right minister's earnest admonition, telling him that he no longer needs to follow the regent's wishes everywhere, and he can find a reason to refuse some things at will.

As the leader of the Prince Regent's party, Lu Yuan was naturally happy to see such a thing happen.But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

As for what went wrong, I can't think of it.

He thought about it all the way with a sad face, but he didn't expect to see more thoughts on his son's face after returning home than he did.

Lu Yuan's life was difficult for offspring, so he only had such a son. Naturally, he was favored and loved in every way, and raised him so that he didn't even know the sufferings of the world.

His son is used to making fun of himself, so it is rare to see such a preoccupied look.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yuan frowned and asked him.

Normally, Lu Siyong couldn't wait to complain to him, but today he hesitated and couldn't explain why.

"No... nothing."

Lu Siyong wrinkled his face, turned around and ran back to the room.

Gu Yanlin came to see him last night, and talked about the big trouble he caused him.He also said that something big will happen in the near future, so he told himself to be good, especially don't worry about running to Qiushuifang.

Gu Yanlin has always had deep opinions on his visits to brothels, but this time he said it so seriously that he couldn't help but think a little more.

It's a pity that with his head, it's okay to think about how to play, but he can't figure out these twists and turns.

The father and son were more worried than the other, and the uneasiness in Lu Yuan's heart was still lingering. In a hurry, he asked someone to send a message to the person who was sent to the Regent's Palace last time, asking them to find a way to find out.

So he became worried and became a few beauties raised in the Prince Regent's mansion.God knows that they have never stepped out of the courtyard arranged for them by the steward of the palace from the beginning to the end.

However, under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, and some of them used some tricks to find out that a beautiful little girl came to the mansion a while ago, which inevitably gave rise to some charming thoughts.

What's more, if a character like the Regent can really climb up, it is also his own ability and good luck.

Someone just went so boldly.

Before leaving, she still had a bright face, and she dressed herself up beautifully, as if she was going to win, but when she turned her head, she cried until she was raining, and was driven back.

Yun Youqing was so uncomfortable with the smell of makeup all over her body, she drove her away with a cold face and went to take a bath.

Thanks to this girl who took the lead, Yun Youqing finally remembered that there were such a group of people in her backyard.Taking advantage of today's encounter, he simply sent everyone back to the left minister, saying that he was not blessed to suffer.

Ji Xuanling found out about this somehow, and came to the door that day.

But this time he finally didn't act like a thief in a sneaky way, but brought Chen Sui and a group of palace servants to enter through the main entrance openly.

"I sent some manpower to the emperor to organize the banquet, and Ah Weng, I also lent it to the emperor for a few days."

Yun Youqing thanked, "Your Majesty doesn't need to come over in person for such a trivial matter."

Ji Xuanling took two steps forward, hooked his hand through the wide sleeve robe under the eyes of everyone, and said in a low voice: "I missed you..."

He bent his eyes and smiled, and before Yun Youqing could react, he led him inside familiarly like a master.

"Although there are other purposes in holding the birthday banquet for the emperor's uncle this time, there are still things that should be there. We can't treat the emperor's uncle badly because of this."

Yun Youqing looked down at the road, not knowing what to think, "Your Majesty just decides."

He has not celebrated his birthday for many years, no accidents, this is probably his last birthday in this life.Ji Xuanling's hard work made him happy and at the same time gave birth to all kinds of melancholy.

Everyone wisely didn't follow, and now there are only two of them left.

Ji Xuanling stopped, turned around and said, "When everything is over that day, I'll give the emperor a big gift."

Yun Youqing didn't reply, but a trace of anticipation involuntarily grew in her heart.
