The palace. Imperial study.

With his hands behind his back, he walked through the Imperial study. In front of him, a man was bowing with a fearful expression, his head bowed as he waited for the Emperor to speak.

"Have you searched everything?" the Emperor asked sullenly, glancing sharply at the man.

The man replied, "Back to the Emperor, I've already searched everything. That night, no one knew the identity of the Dr. Wen. However, while chasing, they met another group of people who took away Dr. Wen and An Ran.

The emperor said with a frown, "Currently, An Ran has returned to the manor safely. In other words, that group of people are most likely from Duke Zhen Yuan Palace. Are you sure that the Dr. Wen was also taken away by them?"

The man said: "I am sure. At that time, the servant's men looked from afar and saw that Dr. Wen was dragged away. She was injured and his back was bleeding."

The Emperor was shocked. "Injured?" "Did I see wrongly?"

The man replied, "Almost certainly!"

The emperor's expression was furious. "Almost? Almost or certainly? Trash, why didn't you chase after him back then? "

The man stammered, "The Emperor said that this matter had to be done in a low-profile manner. At that time, the other side had too many people. I was afraid that someone would fall into their hands and I couldn't help but torture them …"

The Emperor said sharply, "Then you will not send men to investigate? She's been missing for so many days, and you've only come to report to me now? And since you still do not know her whereabouts, what is the use of us raising you all? "

The man was called Lin Mingyi, the leader of a group of people raised by the emperor outside. He came from Wu Lin, and he did not have any official position, so very few people knew of his identity, and although the people outside were called imperial guards, they did not belong to any department or organization, and directly obeyed the emperor's orders. He was given a private salary by the emperor, and the salary he received was not inferior to that of a rank three high official of the imperial court.

The reason for kidnapping An Ran this time was to let them do it. This matter was handled perfectly by instinct. No one would think that An Ran would be locked in a house outside of Stone Village.

Lin Yi Ming said, "Then, this servant will go ask around again!"

The emperor said angrily, "Within three days, we must find a warm location. Otherwise, we will immediately disband the imperial guards!"

Lin Yiming was shocked, hurriedly bowed, "Yes, this servant will do his best to find you!"

As the Emperor sent him out, his heart grew more and more uneasy. State Advisor had said before that as long as a noble daughter entered the palace, the empress dowager's Phoenix Body would be safe. However, the truth was that her entering the palace did not allow the empress dowager to be at ease.

He paced around Imperial study with a distracted expression, then raised his head and shouted: "fructus davidii!"

fructus davidii hurried in, "Your Majesty, this servant is here!"

"Announce State Advisor!" The Emperor ordered.

fructus davidii went out immediately.

A quarter of an hour later, State Advisor arrived at Imperial study.

"micron greets Your Majesty!" State Advisor closed the door, then stepped forward and bowed.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his hand knocking on the imperial desk as he frowned at State Advisor. "You said before, if warmth enters the palace, the empress dowager will have a healthy body. The truth is not what you said, what explanation do you have?"

The State Advisor replied, "Your Majesty, when an esteemed daughter enters the palace, she can indeed ensure the health of the empress dowager's phoenix body. However, if your esteemed daughter is lacking, she will be unable to protect the empress dowager. She herself will be in danger."

The emperor asked anxiously, "What do you mean, 'your daughter is lacking'?"

The State Advisor calculated with his fingers, then sighed: "It is also because my cultivation is lacking, to think that I was unable to calculate that my lady has met with a calamity, I am afraid my lady has already met with it!"

The emperor suddenly stood up, his eyes glaring straight at State Advisor, he said angrily: "Speak clearly, what happened to her?"

State Advisor remained calm and said, "Your highness, there will be four great tribulations in your life and all four of them will be tribulations of life and death. When the Emperor knew that a person's destiny was unspeakably precious, his path of life would experience more twists and turns, as did his noble daughter. She had already experienced two deadly tribulations before, but in the end, she managed to safely cross through them. This time, she believed that she would be safe and sound! As for what happened to her, micron was unable to deduce. Before she came here, the micron had made a divination for her. The divination shows that even though she was in danger, she had an extremely good impression of being negative in just three months.

The emperor's expression slightly eased up, but he still asked with a hint of doubt, "How certain are you that she will be able to return?"

State Advisor bowed and said, "micron is completely confident that if your daughter does not return in three months, micron is willing to offer her his head!"

It was only then that the emperor relaxed his expression and retracted his previous anger. He said in a steady and serious voice, "With State Advisor's words, we are at ease!"

The State Advisor said with a smile, "Your Majesty is overthinking things. That's right, the micron has refined a few more Pills, and offered them to the Emperor! " He took out a vermilion box and slowly opened it. There were a few red pills lying inside, and when the sunlight shone through the window, it actually had some color to it.

The State Advisor presented it to the emperor. The emperor smiled and selected one pellet for him, "Thank you for your hard work, this pellet is for you!"

State Advisor thanked him, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for the emperor's gift!" He raised his head and consumed this Pills before the Emperor.

The emperor restrained the light on his face and smiled: "En, these Pills s really make us more energetic. Continue refining, if you need any precious herbs, just ask the imperial pharmacy for them, no need to ask me! "If you have rendered meritorious services by concocting pills, feel free to speak of the rewards."

State Advisor respectfully said, "micron hopes that our Emperor can live a peaceful life with a healthy dragon body.

When the Emperor heard his words, he said with satisfaction, "Yes, I know your loyalty. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly." He narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, asking, "Has there been any activity on the side of the Ninth King?"

State Advisor replied softly, "Reporting to the Emperor, the nine kings have been carrying their illness for a few days. From the looks of it, they should have met their end.

When the Emperor heard this, he was slightly stunned before sighing. "I, the Emperor, am the poor Ninth Brother!" His tone was not without pity. Back then, when he stole the position of late emperor, he had also sighed like this. That pity and regret, could not compare to the desire for power. He had always thought of himself as a man who valued emotions. Everything he did was forced upon him. He cared deeply about his feelings, which was why he felt such pity and pain. In fact, although the recent events had always been as he wished, he wasn't necessarily happy. He felt that if he was heartless, he wouldn't be sad about these things. It was precisely because he valued love that he was in such a difficult position.

State Advisor said, "Your majesty, no need to worry. Everything should be the luck of the nine kings' lives!"

The Emperor sighed. "I want to treat him better. My little brother has been sensible since he was young, and I've loved him dearly as well. But now, I can't keep him any longer."

The State Advisor comforted her, "Your Majesty, if the Ninth King's life force is strong, he can still endure it. Don't be too sad!"

The emperor acknowledged and said, "Alright, you may leave!"

The State Advisor bowed and took his leave, but when he saw the emperor put the Pills in his mouth, his mouth formed a sneer, and then his expression changed and he left the Imperial study.

The human heart was like this. While you were scheming against others, others would also scheme against you. The struggle for power within the kingdom had always been cruel and bloody.

This morning, Song Yunqian was on leave from court. Song Yungang was a little worried about Song Yunqian's situation, so after the assembly, he came to King Ning An's Palace. Chen Yuzhu's brother General Chen Yuanqing also came along with him.

Chen Yuzhu anxiously went out to welcome her, and since she was the current owner of the palace, although Song Yunqian did not treat her very well, he did not reject her, and would occasionally be able to say a few words. In Chen Yuzhu's eyes, this was a very good start, so when her brother came over, she had a happy smile on her face.

"Your highness is in the study room. Your royal brother and elder brother, please wait for a moment. I have ordered someone to go and request for your presence!" She had called Song Yungang her royal brother, and had treated himself as Song Yunqian's wife. In reality, she was also Song Yunqian's wife.

However, when Song Yungang heard the name Royal Brother, he immediately thought of Wen Yi, who he had killed.

Song Yunqian came out very quickly. He was dressed in white, his face was slightly pale, and his eyes were dark. Ever since he found out about Wen Yi, he had not been able to sleep well.

When he saw Song Yungang, a hint of hatred suddenly burst forth in his eyes, but immediately after, it disappeared. He understood that whether it was Song Yungang or himself, they were both just chess pieces in the hands of the royal father. Especially after hearing Lang Yue say that Song Yungang wanted to commit suicide after finding out the truth, it showed that he was in no less pain.

Chen Yuanqing stood up and bowed, "This general pays his respect to Your Highness!"

Song Yunqian said: "General Chen, no need to be so courteous, please take a seat!" He looked at Song Yungang and asked: "Why is royal brother here today?"

Song Yungang's expression was a little unnatural. He replied, "Yes, this king has always wanted to apologize to royal brother. That day, royal brother did not manage to investigate it thoroughly and thought that royal brother had taken An Ran.

Chen Yuanqing was clearly dissatisfied with the unfamiliar name of General Chen, but the other party was a prince after all. Even if he was dissatisfied with the title of monarch, he could only hide it in the bottom of his heart and not reveal it.

"Just bring it back!" Song Yunqian was relieved. He sat on the chair and a servant came to serve him some tea. He took it and took a sip.

Song Yungang looked at him worriedly, "royal brother's face doesn't seem to be good, is he tired of resting?"

Song Yunqian looked up at Song Yungang, feeling guilty, he turned his eyes away, not daring to look at him. Song Yunqian's voice lightly sounded, and said. "Yes, Wen Yi is missing, and she hasn't been found back until today.

Song Yungang did not dare make a sound, he raised his tea and drank it, his expression revealing his discomfort.

Chen Yuanqing had also heard about the relationship between Song Yunqian and the Dr. Wen, and when he heard him talk about it in front of his own sister, he could not help but get angry.

The light in Song Yunqian's eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared at Chen Yuanqing and said, "It doesn't matter? She is not important to General Chen but to this king, he is more of a person! "

When Chen Yuzhu heard this, she was slightly stunned. She had heard of this Dr. Wen before, when she had treated Ke Er and even went to the palace to treat the emperor's illness.
