Yuchi Hu was crying too much. When he heard the inquiry from the stage, he raised his sleeves and wiped his face, and said in a thick voice:

"In the past few months, Zi Yan and I have been secretly investigating the troubled party, which can be considered as finding out some ways. The current power of this group of troubled party has also mastered 80% or 90%.

But just as we returned, we suddenly encountered an ambush on the Longyou area... They were crowded and powerful, and they came in a fierce manner. They were incompetent and could not protect Zi Yan. They watched him get an arrow and roll down the hillside..."

"The situation was chaotic at that time, and Zi Yan asked me to run away quickly. I still had a list of riots and military distribution maps in my arms. I did not dare to delay major events and could only escape in a hurry.

After the sacrificial momentum is over, I will go back to the hillside to look for it... I can't find anything... The villagers nearby said that there are jackals in the forest, maybe, maybe..."

Speaking of this, Yuchi Hu raised his head, looked at Yuan Xun with tears in his eyes, and said with great regret, "Your Majesty, it is my guard that is not good, I am willing to be punished!"

Yuan Xun had a grim face, a handsome face, without any emotional color, but the cold air emitted from his body cannot be ignored.

After a long silence, Yuan Xun finally spoke, but his voice was heavy and low, "I haven't found anything?"

Yuchi Hu cried and nodded, "Yes, no corpse will be seen."

When he thought of Zi Yan's cold arrows, he still told him to escape, Yuchi Hu felt that his heart had been fried in the oil pan and was in great pain.

Along the way, he bragged shamelessly, saying that he would protect Zi Yan's safety, and said that he would take him to Yanzhilou to drink flower wine, and gave him the boy's body to experience the joy of fish and water...

But now, the cowhides are bragging to heaven, but the brothers are lying in front of him, and even the complete corpse cannot be found!

He is the minister of the prime minister and the talent of the pillars! He is so devastated to the barren and remote Longyou!

What's more, the Yuchi family and the Sikong family are considered family friendships. In fact, Yuchi Hu has to call Sikong Shu's mother to call her cousin-the Sikong family, just like Zi Yan, and he has not protected him! He really feels guilty of his cousin and ancestors of the Sikong family!

The more Yuchi Hu thought about it, the more sad he became. Just as he was about to cry again, he heard Yuan Xun say, "Okay."

The words are simple, but they have a strong majesty.

Yuchi Hu suddenly fell silent, looked up at the king with a cold expression, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a cloth bag from his arms.

He respectfully handed the cloth bag forward, "Your Majesty, this is a memorandum compiled by Zi Yan."

Yuan Xun took the cloth bag and didn't take a look, but placed it next to the table.

He slowly raised his eyes and saw Yuchi Hu's dark face and the dense beard. He pondered the words and said softly, "Jin Zhen, thank you for your hard work this time."

Jin Zhen is the name of Yuchi Hu.

He heard Yuan Xun's words and felt aroused in his voice, "Your Majesty's words make me panic. This is my duty, so how dare I say it is hard work.

What's more, what's more, my work is not good, and it hurts him..."

Yuan Xun said, "Don't blame yourself for Zi Yan's affairs, I believe you will do your best.

Besides, if there are really jackals, tigers and leopards, how can they eat nothing left?

Clothes and shoes always leave some traces.

Now that you have not found anything, maybe Zi Yan survived the disaster and hid himself first, or was rescued by someone..."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Hu slapped, and his big face was full of surprise on the plate, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is still wise, how can jackals eat people together with their clothes!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Sikong Shu might have escaped. He was happy before the tears in his eyes were dry. "Ziyan will definitely be fine. If God just takes it away like this, then God will really not open his eyes!"

Yuan Xun looked at the general who was big and thick in front of him who had a sensual heart and said in a deep voice, "I will send a team of people to Longyou to find his whereabouts. No matter what, I must find it clear."

Yuchi Hu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes."

Yuan Xun said, "You are tired all the way. First, clean up your sloppy appearance in the palace. Have enough rest and have enough energy to take care of it. Then go back to your house to save your relatives from looking at it."

Yuchi Hu wanted to refuse, but Yuan Xun had already called Chang Xi's father-in and explained a few words.

Chang Xi walked to Yuchi Hu's side with a congratulation. Seeing the tears in the eyes of the burly general, he was a little surprised: Oh, what's wrong?

How could a big man cry like this?

Although he was surprised, he did not show his face and said, "General Yuchi, please come with me."

After Yuchi Hu retreated, the huge Qinzheng Hall suddenly became empty.

Yuan Xun sat quietly. It was May when the weather was getting hotter, but his fingers were particularly cold.

He turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on the dirty and old cloth bag.

He slowly untied it, and a thick piece of brochure and a line of eternal words were written on the yellow silk cover: Minister Sikong Shu told the emperor.

He has strong bones and a strong momentum, just like Sikong Shu.

Looking at the breeze and bright moon, I don’t care about everything, but I am very ambitious inside and have the hearts of the people.

In the empty hall, the indifferent and hard king tightly squeezed the note tightly.

He closed his eyes and hid the suppressed worries in his eyes deeply.

Yuchi Hu could cry, but he had to restrain his emotions.

Compared to crying and being dull, he has more important things to do—

After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes again, with only a calm and clear mind left in his eyes.

He opened the note in his hand and looked carefully.

——

The night gradually became deeper, and in the dark sky, a curved cold moon hung like a sickle.

Inside the durian flower palace.

Acuo was lazily lying on the soft couch reading a book. She is now almost five months pregnant.

After suffering from morning sickness some time ago, her appetite has increased during this period and she has to eat several meals every day. However, no matter how she eats, she doesn’t gain weight on her body, and her belly gradually grows bigger.

Old Mrs. Shen has visited the palace several times, and she always praised Acuo's baby in her belly for being a mother. The reason is that Acuo did not have any other discomfort except morning sickness.

Now that she has experienced her morning sickness, she eats, drinks, sleeps every day, just like she is not pregnant - she also saves the trouble of coming to Kui Shui.

Asuo was carefully reading the "Feal Book" presented by the imperial doctor, and saw Xiaohe coming up slowly, "Master, is it a dinner?"

Acuo was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked up out the window.

"Ah, it's already dark."

She sat up with her stomach and asked softly, "Have you not come yet?

He agreed to have dinner with me tonight, but didn’t he ask Shang Pharmacy to make roasted venison specially?”

Xiaohe hesitated and said, "Maybe Your Majesty has some government affairs, right?

Your Majesty once told me that if the Empress is hungry, she should eat first, and pregnant women will not be hungry."

"But if this roasted venison is cold, it will not be delicious."

Acuo put the book in his hand aside, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, I'm not very hungry anyway, so I asked the Shangshi Bureau to send the food to Zichen Palace. I'll go to Zichen Palace to eat with His Majesty."

He didn't have time to come, but she had plenty of time, just go and find him.

Xiaohe raised her eyes and glanced at Acuo's belly and reminded, "Master, it's dark outside, you're still pregnant..."

Acuo waved his hand, "It's okay, I've been bored in the house all day and just happened to go out for a walk.

Didn’t the imperial doctor say that it’s not good to sit for a long time, so you have to walk around properly.

Besides, with you guys accompanying me, what else are you worried about?"

Seeing that she was talking very well, Xiaohe had to respond, "Master, please wait for a moment, and I will go down and make some arrangements."

Acuo smiled at her, "Well, go."

Not long after, Acuo walked towards Zichen Palace with his arms around him.

On the early summer night, the breeze is soft and the faint fragrance of flowers is floating in the air, which makes her chest feel much more relaxed.

The palace people held lanterns in their hands, illuminating the ground several meters in a radius, as if it were daylight, and they didn't have to worry about not being able to see clearly.

After walking smoothly to Zichen Palace, all the palace people breathed a sigh of relief.

When the eunuch from Zichen Palace saw that Acuo was coming, he hurried into the house to find Chang Xi's father-in-law. After a moment, Chang Xi walked out in a small step, "I wish you a blessing to Concubine Chen."

Acuo signaled him to get up and smiled gently, "Is Your Majesty still busy with government affairs?"

I waited for him before I saw him coming, so I came here with the meal.”

Old Man Chang Xi glanced at the eunuchs carrying food boxes behind her, with a complicated expression on her face. After thinking about it, he whispered, "Empress Chen, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty... He said that no one is allowed to disturb you, why don't you go back first?"

Acuo was stunned for a moment and frowned and said, "What is he busy with in his Majesty?

Don't even see me?"

Mr. Chang Xi showed hesitation, but when he thought of the situation inside, he still said, "Empress Chen, this will be really inconvenient. You should go back, don't make things difficult for a young man."

Acuo looked at Chang Xi at her eyes. Seeing his concealed expression, he felt something was vaguely wrong in his heart.

Why did Your Majesty not see her?

He was always happy every time he saw her. When he went to court this morning, he agreed to accompany her for dinner...

Your Majesty is not a person who doesn't keep his word.

Acuo looked serious and stared at Chang Xi's father-in-law, saying, "Did you hide something from me?"

Her voice was still soft, but the solemnity and displeasure between her eyebrows and eyes were a bit of aura that should not be underestimated-
To be continued...
