"Who will be Nanjing...?"

Zhu Qizhen murmured to himself, but he really couldn't imagine any important person in Nanjing.

According to the investigation results of the Jinyiwei, there are indeed many officials who are related to the Japanese pirates, but who would be the one who can be so respectful to the Japanese pirate leader?

Could it be...Duke Xu Chengzong of Wei?

The Duke of Wei has been staying in Nanjing since the Yongle Dynasty moved the capital and in charge of Nanjing's troops. If this person has two intentions, the matter will be serious!

Zhu Qizhen had something to do and didn't sleep well all night. The next morning, he took Fan Zhong to the North Town Fushi.

Yesterday's letter was sent by Yuan Bin, and all the information was in the Beizhen Fushi, and perhaps the answer could be found here.

However, all the information was broken, and no one found out that Xu Chengzong had any evil intentions.

This person holds the military power in Nanjing and is a key investigative target of the Jinyiwei. If he has any intention, it is impossible for him to leave no clues.

It seems that the mysterious person Shi Heng mentioned was not Duke of Wei.

Zhu Qizhen's eyebrows were wrinkled with the word Sichuan, and he really couldn't figure out who that person was?

In desperation, he called Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin to the imperial village outside Chaoyang Gate.

This time, it was not to visit the old eunuch Hong Bao, but Song Guxi.

Since her injuries improved, she moved out of the palace.

After all, it is not a big deal for a woman who is in a palace for a long time.

In fact, Zhu Qizhen didn't think anything, but he became more and more aware that Queen Qian's eyes were not right, and she was faintly murderous intent. If she didn't let her move out, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Along the way, Yuan Bin introduced: "I arranged secret whistles around Miss Song's residence and found another maid who can help take care of Miss Song's food and clothing."

Zhu Qizhen asked, "Have you checked the details of this person?"

"When I go back to the emperor, this person originally lived in the imperial village. His parents died of illness one after another. She was the only one left in the family, helpless and had a difficult life. I arranged her to serve Miss Song."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Let your people keep a close eye on it. If the Bailian Sect knows that Miss Song is not dead, it will not give up."

"Please rest assured that the secret whistles arranged by me are all masters who fight ten. If something really happens, the Hundred Houses of Dongcheng can also arrive within an incense stick of time, which will definitely ensure Miss Song's completeness!"

"Is there any movement from the White Lotus Sect in the capital?"

"Return to the emperor, I have already checked it and found nothing. Those people seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

"It seems that these people had planned to withdraw before they assassinated me."

Yuan Bin's face turned red and suddenly said, "Please punish me!"

Zhu Qizhen turned around and asked, "I didn't blame you!"

Yuan Bin knelt on one knee and said, "I thought Miss Song was an assassin at that time. Therefore, after I caught Miss Song, I relaxed my vigilance, which led to the real assassin running away in the chaos. There has been no news yet. It is because I am not good at doing things. Please punish the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Get up, I really didn't blame you."

"But, I..."

"What I want to deal with now is the entire White Lotus Sect, and I still care about a mere assassin? Besides, the other party had already planned this matter. In that situation, who could see through their conspiracy at a glance?"

After hearing the emperor say this, Yuan Bin stood up, his face still with a little guilty look.

He clearly remembered that the crossbow arrow flew over the emperor's face. If he deviated a little further, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Since the murderer cannot be caught, as the emperor said, all his energy is devoted to dealing with the White Lotus Sect.

If you can’t catch the monk, you will demolish your temple!

While talking, I had already arrived at a small yard.

Yuan Bin stepped forward and knocked on the door. The woman opened the door. She was about 17 or 18 years old. Her face was pale and her hair was a little yellow. She looked like she had long-term malnutrition.

She saw that it was Yuan Bin and hurriedly said, "It's my benefactor here!"

Yuan Bin nodded and said, "Xiaohua, this is my master. Let's come and visit Miss Song."

"Oh, please come in!"

The girl named Xiaohua hurriedly let the three of them in, and then hurriedly walked towards the wing room.

"I'll go make tea!"

Yuan Bin looked around vigilantly, then called Xiaohua and said, "My master said a few words to Miss Song, and you don't go in."

When Xiaohua saw these people dressed and knew that they were definitely not ordinary people, she nodded repeatedly and walked into the wing room next to her.

When Zhu Qizhen came to the inner room, he saw Song Guxi struggling to sit up.

"Lying down and not moving!"

Zhu Qizhen walked up and gently pressed her shoulder.

"Your Majesty, are you here?"

Song Guxi's face turned much rosy, and it seemed that her body had recovered a lot.

"I'll come and see, how are your injuries?"

"Thanks to the Emperor's concern, I have already improved a lot."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and asked again: "How is the maid Yuan Bin found for you? If you still need manpower, just speak!"

"Thank you, the emperor, it's enough to have a little flower around you. I'm not a lady from a family, and my body is not that expensive."

"This place is not as good as the palace, and the conditions are limited in all aspects. If you have any needs, especially if your physical condition is wrong, you must inform me as soon as possible."

Song Guxi's eyes were filled with tears and he whispered: "I... thank you for your concern!"

Zhu Qizhen said in confusion: "Why are you crying?"

"I...I'm..."

Song Guxi raised his hand to wipe his tears and said, "The emperor is so good to me..."

Zhu Qizhen smiled awkwardly and said, "You are my person. With your loyalty, I can't let you down."

Song Guxi burst into tears and laughed, and then said, "The emperor is here this time, not just visiting my slave family, right?"

"I..." Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something to ask you!"

"Prince, please speak."

Song Guxi was very calm and seemed to have guessed that something must have happened to the other party in search of him.

Zhu Qizhen did not hide it and asked bluntly: "How much do you know about the matter between the White Lotus Sect and the Japanese pirates?"

Song Guxi frowned slightly and said, "I don't know, but I learned from Yang Xiong that the leader is going to join forces with the Japanese pirates to deal with the imperial court."

"Did you know nothing before you came to the capital?"

"I have been in the capital for three years. Before that, I have never heard of any interactions between the White Lotus Sect and the Japanese pirates."

Zhu Qizhen stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and asked again: "Your leader has been in Nanjing?"

Song Guxi nodded and said, "The leader may go to various branches to inspect, but he stayed in Nanjing for most of his time."

"Does he have... other identities? For example, official position, title?"

Song Guxi shook his head and said, "The leader has lived in seclusion among the people for a long time and rarely deals with people in the government. His name... Now that I think about it, even the name may be fake."

"Then do you White Lotus Sect have any backers in Nanjing?"

"backing……"

Song Guxi thought hard and then said, "It seems... I haven't heard of it..."

Zhu Qizhen said in confusion: "It's impossible, your White Lotus Sect has no eyeliner in the court?"

"But..." Song Guxi seemed to think of something and said, "Yang Xiong often goes out to walk around. I heard that he is very close to some officials, but I don't know who it is."

"Did Yang Xiong tell you that this time the joining forces between Bai Lian and the Japanese pirates also involve a big figure in Nanjing?"

Song Guxi shook his head gently and said, "What the emperor said... I really don't know..."

Zhu Qizhen was also helpless. It seemed that Song Guxi had been rejected by the senior officials of the White Lotus Sect and did not know much about the inside story.

Seeing this, Song Guxi said pitifully: "It's useless for me..."

"It's okay, I just ask casually!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "You can rest here with peace of mind and strive to heal the injury as soon as possible. I will come to see you later."

"I...send it to the emperor..."

Song Guxi struggled to sit up, but Zhu Qizhen pressed her back to bed.

"I told you to recover from my injuries and leave!"

"Your Majesty, go slowly!"

Song Guxi lay on the bed, and when Zhu Qizhen left the door, the footsteps gradually drifted away, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, it turned out that the maid Xiaohua walked in with a medicine plate.

However, this time, there was no tension and restraint on her face.
