Hearing Zhu Houzhao's question, Yu Huatian said respectfully,"Replying to the emperor, we have interrogated the members of the diplomatic corps and learned that three days before they arrived in the capital, there was a change in the middle. After that, a few unfamiliar members suddenly appeared in the envoy group, and the people who were originally serving Princess Chu Yun and Ravenmaru all died.”
"Therefore, we suspect that Princess Chu Yun and Ravenmaru might have been killed three days before the envoy arrived in the capital. "In addition, we captured a few Fusang warriors in the envoy group. After interrogating the Fusang samurai and Princess Lixiu, he came to the final conclusion.”
Zhu Houzhao's brows twitched slightly when he heard that. He said,""Since that's the case, did Princess Li Xiu confess who instigated them?”
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao stared at Zhu Bujue, wanting to see his reaction.
However, Zhu Houzhao didn't know if this had nothing to do with Zhu Bujue or if Zhu Bujue was too good at pretending. He couldn't see anything in his eyes.
Yu Huatian shook his head slightly." According to Princess Li Xiu, she was only following orders. Her contact was none other than Wu Wan. The only person who knew about the whole thing was Wu Wan."”
Zhu Houzhao snorted and said angrily,""So, with Wu Wan dead, the clues to this matter are completely cut off?”
"Emperor, please forgive me!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's anger, Yu Huatian, Zhu Bujue, and Zhuge Zhengwo hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Zhu Houzhao said coldly,"I don't want you to admit your guilt. I want the truth. I want the mastermind behind the scenes!" Although Ravenpill and Princess Li Xiu's operation failed this time, who knows if they still have other tricks up their sleeves? Could it be that Zhen and the Empress Dowager have to be on tenterhooks every day?”
"No matter what the process is, I only want results. The West Hall, Divine Constabulary, and Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa must work together to find the mastermind as soon as possible!”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Yu Huatian, Zhuge Zhengwo, and Zhu Budian greeted Zhu Houzhao respectfully at the same time.
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said lightly,""I don't want to punish anyone, so I hope you won't disappoint me.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will do our best to investigate the mastermind as soon as possible!”
Hearing this, Yu Huatian and the other two bowed to Zhu Houzhao again.
Zhu Houzhao casually waved his hand and said,""Yu Huatian, please stay for a while. If Imperial Uncle and Divine Marquis have nothing else to do, you can leave first.”
" I'll take my leave." Zhu Budian and Zhuge Zhengwo looked at each other and greeted Zhu Houzhao respectfully at the same time.
The two of them slowly retreated out of Yangxin Palace Hall.
After Zhu Bujue and Zhuge Zhengwo left, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Huatian and said,""Did anything special happen during your journey to the Yun Nation's diplomatic mission? Was there anything unusual about Imperial Uncle?”
When Yu Huatian heard Zhu Houzhao's question, he thought for a moment and shook his head."Replying to the emperor, this official didn't find anything unusual. Imperial uncle's behavior is also very normal.”
"Could it be that it really has nothing to do with Zhu Bujue?”Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
"Emperor, Eunuch Sun requests an audience. There are two people beside Eunuch Sun." At this moment, the eunuch on duty at the entrance of the main hall respectfully spoke to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard that. He nodded and said,""Let them in."
"Yes," the eunuch on duty replied and then went to lead Eunuch Sun's group.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Huatian and said,"You stay by the side and watch first. I have something for you to do later."”
" Yes." Yu Huatian did not have any objections to Zhu Houzhao's words. He replied respectfully and retreated to the side.
Before long, Eunuch Sun entered the main hall.
Beside Eunuch Sun, there was a youth and a middle-aged woman.
The young man was dressed in simple and plain clothes. His hair was loose and his eyes were filled with intelligence. At this moment, he was carefully sizing up the environment in Yangxin Palace.
The middle-aged woman was also dressed plainly. Her hair was slightly white, and her eyes were turbid. There was no light in them. She was blind.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the young man and the middle-aged woman and easily recognized them as Cheng Fei and his nanny, Cheng Huan.
"This servant greets the emperor!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Eunuch Sun hurriedly knelt down.
While kneeling, Eunuch Sun also pulled Cheng Fei's and Cheng Huan's sleeves, constantly gesturing to them.
"This commoner pays his respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor!”
Cheng Fei rolled his eyes and kneeled on the ground, shouting loudly.
Cheng Huan, who was beside Cheng Fei, was no exception.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the three of them and said lightly,""Rise!"
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, the three of them thanked him at the same time.
Eunuch Sun slightly tidied his clothes and slowly straightened his body.
Cheng Fei, who was beside her, took the initiative to help Cheng Huan up.
Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.
Although Cheng Fei had all kinds of small problems, in general, he was a good person.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the Dragon Throne, watching the drama unfold. He said lightly,""Cheng Fei, do you know why zhen asked Eunuch Sun to bring you to see zhen?”
Previously, Zhu Houzhao had instructed Eunuch Sun to find Cheng Fei and Cheng Huan.
Cheng Fei blinked and shook his head."I don't know, but can the emperor tell me?”
