Yan Chi knew where Aunt Qian lived, and also knew that Aunt Qian had already left the capital, but he didn't know how many people like Aunt Qian were still in the capital.
How many people did things for the empress and were able to get out of the palace safely, or are still used by the empress to this day.
The cold wind was howling, and the snow was getting heavier. Yan Chi frowned slightly, and looked up at the sky, but only saw a night sky as black as ink without stars and moons. Just now, there were only a few snow particles floating, but in the blink of an eye, The snow was falling like catkins, Yan Chi was a little worried about Qin Wan, and subconsciously looked back.
Qin Wan's carriage had long been out of sight, and this sense of emptiness made Yan Chi feel unrealized.
He withdrew his gaze and glanced at the direction Zhao Yu was going.
"Is there something wrong at the city gate today?"
Yan Chi suddenly asked each other, and since Yan Chi wanted to ask, Zhao Yu slowed down a bit.
"No, everything is as usual. Today, Prince Yi's Mansion set up a porridge shed outside the city to help the refugees, and sent a golden Buddha out of the city. There is nothing else going on."
The Golden Buddha of Yanze had already left the city, and at night, only Prince Yi went to Prince Rui's mansion for a banquet.
Therefore, the prince and queen should have left the capital.
Yan Chi frowned. If so, who did Zhao Yu find
It is almost a certainty that Yanze will use the Golden Buddha to cover the queen and the prince, since Yanze is helping, how can the queen use other people
And just right, the two were caught by Zhao Yu.
He has been looking for the whereabouts of the prince and queen for several days. He is also one of the presidents. Because of the search, he deeply knows that the prince and queen are not careless people. After leaving the palace gate, they have long since disappeared in the huge capital. , how could Zhao Yu find clues that even his hidden guards could not find
"How did these two people find it?"
As if he knew Yan Chi had asked this question for a long time, Zhao Yu said, "They are people from the Fuguo General's House, and one of them is the empress's cousin."
Yan Chi said calmly, "The queen's cousin? We have checked the line of Fuguo General's Mansion. The Zhao family is located in Jianzhou, Luozhou and Yunzhou respectively. Yunzhou is a bit far away, so there is only this line." Without careful investigation, could it be that he happens to be from Yunzhou?"
Zhao Yu tightened his hand holding the reins, and said along the way, "Your Highness is right, they are from the Yunzhou lineage. These two people should have received the news from the Empress Empress a long time ago, and they went to Beijing early in the morning to hide their identities and make preparations. Let's find out It was these two people who helped the empress contact Cangzhou in the north."
Zhao Yu was not in a hurry, not in a panic, but after he finished speaking, Yan Chi slowly slowed down the horse. He didn't see anything on his face, but everyone who knew him knew that he had already started to get angry. , noticing that Yan Chi had slowed down his horse, Zhao Yu immediately turned his head, "What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Yan Chi said calmly, "It's snowing so heavily, I'm a little worried about the princess."
Zhao Yu's complexion changed slightly, "Then...does His Highness want to go back?"
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, the guards behind him all looked at each other for a moment, Yan Chi glanced at them and shook his head, "No need."
While talking, Yan Chi turned his head to look at a guard, "Zhong Yao, go back to the mansion to find Bai Feng, and ask him to make arrangements to find out the fox fur cloak that the princess will wear in the future, and give it to him immediately. Go into the palace."
The guard who was pointed was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted, responded, turned his horse's head and left.
Zhao Yu watched Zhong Yao's royal horse walk away, and didn't know what to say for a while, but Yan Chi's concern for Qin Wan was already known to everyone, especially since he went to pick up the bride this morning, so Zhao Yu didn't take it seriously. He smiled, "His Royal Highness really cares about the princess."
Yan Chi also smiled, but didn't say much, raised his jaw and said, "Continue to lead the way."
Zhao Yu nodded, his slightly frowned brows loosened, he raised his whip, and led Yan Chi to the south of the city. Yan Chi followed behind Zhao Yu, his eyes fell on Zhao Yu's straight back, but he never saw him again. One more question-
He also checked the Zhao family in Yunzhou.
What's more, how can the queen use someone from the side branch of the Zhao family to communicate with the north
Squinting his eyes, Yan Chi's eyes flashed with fear, but he quickly covered them up.
In the middle of the night, there was no one on the street, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier. After a while, a layer of snow fell on Yan Chi's shoulders. He brushed the snow foam from his shoulders, and put his hand on the dagger at his waist. People galloped wildly, but just turned a street corner, there were several fast horses coming straight on the street ahead.
Suddenly seeing a few fast horses galloping wildly, Zhao Yu and his party in front immediately became vigilant, but soon, Zhao Yu was somewhat surprised to find that the person who came was actually a member of the Nine City Patrol Battalion. , "Is it Vice Commander Zhao—"
Zhao Yu frowned, "It's me, you are not guarding the city gate, how did you get here?"
This place is not too far from the city gate. Upon hearing that it was indeed Zhao Yu, several light cavalry rushed over immediately. When they reached Zhao Yu, these people reined in their horses and stopped. As soon as they stopped, these people just stopped Seeing Yan Chi who was following, he hurriedly saluted again, Yan Chi said solemnly, "What happened?"
The first person took a breath and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui, Vice Commander Zhao, just now a residential house in the south of the city caught fire, and two people were burned to death..."
Zhao Yu frowned, "I went to the Yamen of the prefect of Lin'an for such things, why come to me?"
The man quickly waved his hands, "No, no, it would be fine if the people burned to death were ordinary people, but just now our people went there to put out the fire and found a few things, it seems... It seems to be something from the Eastern Palace, and the people below dare not be careless , we are crazy to find a deputy commander..."
As soon as these words came out, the complexions of Zhao Yu and Yan Chi changed slightly.
