Capital, Forbidden City.

The emperor looked at the second secret letter sent by Hu Xiaolin. His young but tired face was full of dissatisfaction, but the worry in his eyes revealed the true feelings in his heart.

As a trained person who was regarded as the heir of the empire since childhood, he has experienced several years of cooperation, games and secret battles with all the "human spirits" in the imperial court. Naturally, he is not a stupid person. Even if he is a middle-aged man, he has had so much experience, and has long been tempered into a piece of jade.

Therefore, in the secret letter that Hu Xiaolin sent for the first time, he saw something wrong from Hu Xiaolin's attempt to understate Zhu Jinxuan's affairs.

But at that time, he was even more angry at the boldness and arrogance of the Jiangnan officialdom and the wealthy merchants, and his heart was full of the desire to deceive him for greed, and even dared to decide the life and death of the fourth-rank prefect of the court without permission. He also ruthlessly destroyed the bold madmen of Yao Shun's family's determination to catch them all in one go.

But as time passes, his anger gradually fades away, and the anxiety in his heart becomes stronger.

As Zhu Jinxuan's eldest brother, he loved this young girl since he was a child. In addition, the imperial concubine was fierce in the harem at that time, so his father treated him from time to time. Although he was the crown prince, he was always walking on thin ice. Only in Zhu Jinxuan, he could feel the warmth of family affection.

Even though his queen later entered the palace and relied on and supported him, giving him warmth and support, he did not become distant from Zhu Jinxuan because of this. On the contrary, his queen also liked this sister-in-law who always brought them laughter. In the sad years when their first child died, it was precisely because of Zhu Jinxuan's existence that the queen finally made her sad.

Therefore, after his father passed away and he succeeded to the throne and became the master of the Forbidden City, he also spoiled this young girl very much, tolerated her to escape. Her extraordinaryness, and even at the end, he agreed to her unreasonable troubles to visit Jiangnan. He even went directly to Mo Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and directly instructed several Jinyiwei Qianhu Qianhu to protect them all the way.

He thought that after this time, Zhu Jinxuan would completely calm down and return to the Forbidden City. Like her several emperor sisters, she would choose a prince consort to take care of her husband and children.

But now it seems that he is thinking too "beautiful". As she stayed home longer and longer, her heart seemed to be getting more and more "wild".

It should have been time for her return, but she not only did not have the idea of ​​going north to return to the Forbidden City, but instead used the excuse to help him investigate the case and led Hu Xiaolin and others to Guangzhou Prefecture!

This made him feel a little warm and annoyed.

After all, no matter how this incident angered him, how bold and reckless the officials and merchants who were connected were even more likely to be cut into pieces, it was ultimately a matter of the court, and it was not something that a woman, as a woman, should care about, even if she was the emperor's sister and the daughter of the Tian family.

Now is no longer the time of the Han and Tang dynasties. The princess has long since shedded all the cloak of power and has become a symbol.

But in his heart, he felt the warm family affection from Zhu Jinxuan's approach.

Just like the secret letter she used to play with the sects of the world and finally asked the Jinyiwei to send him.

He knew that Zhu Jinxuan was always caring about him, the emperor, and wanted to share his worries.

Maybe there are some small thoughts in it, but in the end I still want to help him.

Moreover, from the moment, he, the young girl, is indeed the one who is most helpful in finding out this case.

Because, whether in Yangzhou Prefecture or Chuzhou Prefecture, Zhu Jinxuan was the first to find the most critical clues, but the Jinyiwei, whom he had high hopes, always realized it later. He always had to wait until the clues were broken before he could react and take remedial measures.

"Hey, forget it, she is kind enough, so don't hit her at this time. Moreover, maybe the key to breaking the situation will really fall on her."

After reading Hu Xiaolin's secret letter a few times, the young emperor finally sighed and decided to let Zhu Jinxuan continue to "make trouble". However, he also knew that if the clue was not wrong, Guangzhou Prefecture would not be that simple and would not endanger Zhu Jinxuan's safety. So after pondering for a moment, he turned his head slightly and asked Liu Qian beside him.

"How has Jiang Zhun been doing recently? But still consider it?"

"This, I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I haven't seen Jiang Zhun's figure for a while."

"oh?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly, and his face was a little surprised.

"It seems that he is still considerate in his work this time."

"Your Majesty wants to call him?"

Liu Qian, who has been with the emperor since childhood, obviously knew why the emperor mentioned Jiang Zhuan at this time.

"Well, go find him, I have something to explain."

"yes."

Liu Qian left in a hurry.

...

Zhu Jinxuan, who didn't know that her "unreasonable trouble" had already been acquiesced by her elder brother, was quite nervous at this time.

According to her agreement with the emperor, she should be on the way back to Beijing at this time, but now, not only has she not returned to Beijing, but she has become increasingly farther and farther away from the capital.

After the sword rating conference ended, she and Hu Xiaolin and others headed south all the way, and had already entered Raozhou Prefecture.

Unlike the Liushemen who hurried to Guangzhou Prefecture, the Jinyiwei and the East Factory spy, Zhu Jinxuan, who was busy with the Liushemen who had just ended the sword competition, who looked slow.

Zhu Jinxuan wanted to go faster so that she could stay away from the capital as much as possible. It would be better to run to Guangzhou Prefecture before the big guards sent by his royal brother to "catch" her back to arrive and cook the raw rice...

But Hu Xiaolin, the commander of the great guard, obviously did not want to do this. He had sent a secret message and had made up his mind to send Zhu Jinxuan, the restless princess, back to the capital.

Just like the emperor concluded from his secret letter, he also felt that Guangzhou Prefecture would be the most important part of this case, and perhaps the old nest of those Japanese. In this way, Zhu Jinxuan, the noble princess, went there personally, was a little inappropriate. If something went wrong, he, the commander of the guard, would be followed by the melons and even buried with him.

Bai Shier is different from the two.

Although he rarely stood on Hu Xiaolin's side and sang a counter-tongue with Zhu Jinxuan, his reason for doing this was completely opposite to Hu Xiaolin.

He did not think that Guangzhou Prefecture would be the most important part of this case, nor did he think that the Japanese lairs would be in Guangzhou Prefecture.

Therefore, the idea in his mind was to ask the six gates of the police and the factory guards to go to Guangzhou Prefecture to investigate first. No matter how low-key they are, so many people gather in Guangzhou Prefecture will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested.

His target was these poisonous snakes hiding in the grass that were alarmed by the Six Gate Constables and the spies of the factory guards.
