After listening to these words, Ling Youyao also understood the deeper meaning.

The orphans of the former royal family are still alive, which is a huge threat to Fu Xiuyun. If they are not completely eliminated, there will be endless troubles.

Fu Mingjue saw her lost in thought and squeezed her hand: "I have told you so much, now it's your turn."

"What did you say?" Ling Youyao was stunned.

Fu Mingjue bent down, his eyes were level with hers, and said, "Tell me why you are so concerned about this matter."

Ling Youyao looked into his deep eyes, inexplicably feeling like someone had read through her mind. She was concerned about this matter, wasn't she just worried about the assassination that happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet?

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Fu Xiuyun would secretly deal with Fu Mingjue. Later, things got worse and worse, eventually leading to Fu Mingjue's rebellion.

How could she not care about such an important turning point?

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Fu Mingjue threatened: "I know very well what kind of temper you have. If you dare to lie to me, you should know the consequences."

"How dare I lie to you?" Ling Youyao pouted, "I'm just worried about you."

She was indeed worried that Fu Mingjue would rebel, and she was also worried that he would drag her to his death. This was the truth, and she was not lying to him.

"Worried?" Fu Mingjue stared into her eyes, trying to see the flaws in them, "Why are you worried?"

"Because." Ling Youyao's brain was running rapidly, and she whispered, "Your Majesty is my husband, do you still need a reason to worry about me?"

Regardless of whether this statement is true or false, it does sound very pleasant to Fu Mingjue's ears.

"It seems that you know your identity very well." Fu Mingjue put his arms around her waist, his voice was gentle and tired, "As long as you are obedient, I can give you anything."

Ling Youyao felt happy, is there such a good thing?

Fu Mingjue saw through her thoughts at a glance: "Except for freedom."

"." She knew it wasn't that simple!

Fu Mingjue looked at her slumped face and sneered in his heart, "Freedom? It's impossible in this life."

——

In the morning of the next day, Fu Xiuyun informed all officials that he had obtained the Yuanwu Guard Talisman, and ordered the entire city to search for the remaining members of the Yuanwu Guard, and all the Feng family members, male and female, were executed.

For Fu Xiuyun, the Feng family was a remnant of the previous dynasty, and they even attempted rebellion, so they should be killed.

But some people raised objections to this——

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, in order to command the Yuanwu guards, in addition to military talismans, they also need to be of royal blood. If the entire Feng family is executed, wouldn't it mean that the last clue to find the orphan of the previous royal family is cut off?"

"Master Zhang, this is wrong." Another minister stood up to refute him, "The Feng family has a close relationship with the previous royal family. Only by slaughtering the entire Feng family can we force people to show up."

Zhang Quan said coldly: "What if that person has made up his mind to sacrifice the Feng family? Your Majesty, I believe that the execution of the Feng family still needs to be discussed."

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair looked calm and showed no emotion or anger.

After a long while, he said: "I have made up my mind regarding the Feng family, and there is no need to say anything more."

"Your Majesty." Zhang Quan wanted to say something more, but his sleeve was pulled by his colleagues.

Finally, Fu Xiuyun issued an order that all members of the Feng family should be executed after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"This matter is over now. Since the batch of ordnance has not been destroyed, escorting the ordnance to Liangzhou should be put on the agenda." Fu Xiuyun said in a deep voice, "Ji Qing, you will set off for Liangzhou in three days."

Ji Youhuai, whose name was called, walked out steadily, cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."

Fu Mingjue stood aside quietly. He was not surprised when he heard the news. He was sending Ji Youhuai to Liangzhou in such a hurry, probably to give King Jing'an a warning.

He, the royal brother, is still as suspicious as ever.

In the court, Fu Xiuyun did not mention how he found the military talisman. However, the attention of the officials was on the execution of the Feng family, and no one mentioned the military talisman at all.

It was not until after the dynasty dispersed that one person went to the Imperial Study Room instead.

Fu Xiuyun looked at Cai Yuan who was standing down and asked, "Do you have anything else to do, teacher?"

Cai Yuan said: "Your Majesty, I have something unclear. I wonder where the military talisman that ordered Yuan Wu's guards came from?"

Fu Xiuyun said calmly: "Zi Lin found the military talisman from Huixian Tower. It seems that Feng Yuanshan knew that he had no way out, so he hid the military talisman in Huixian Tower."

He did not tell Cai Yuan that the military talisman was related to the Jing'an Palace. The Cai family and the Pei family had always been at odds. If Cai Yuan knew that the military talisman was handed over by Pei Ce, he would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

Although Fu Xiuyun had suspected King Jing'an, he would not let Cai Yuan take action against the Pei family at this time.

Cai Yuan thought about it and then said: "The military talisman is so important, how could Feng Yuanshan give up the military talisman so easily? I think there must be some hidden meaning in this."

Fu Xiuyun's eyes darkened. Cai Yuan was a well-known old fox. He was always cautious. It was really difficult to hide things from him.

"Teacher, don't worry, I've already asked someone to investigate this matter."

Everyone is dead, what else is there to investigate? These words were just used to frustrate him.

Cai Yuan looked slightly calm and said: "Since your Majesty has made up his mind, I will leave first."

After he left, Fu Xiuyun's face suddenly darkened, and he raised his hand and smashed the tea cup into pieces.

"Old man!"

Manager Li, who was waiting nearby, saw this and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get angry over this."

Fu Xiuyun snorted coldly: "Because he is my teacher, he interferes in my decisions again and again. If my father had not said otherwise, the Cai family cannot be touched. I should have killed him three years ago."

!”

Manager Li was horrified and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is kind. The late emperor once received favor from the Cai family. It was precisely because of this kindness that the late emperor tolerated the Cai family again and again."

"It's just a favor of staying overnight for them in exchange for a lifetime of prosperity, isn't that enough?" Fu Xiuyun was upset.

Manager Li wanted to persuade him again, but he kicked him out.

As soon as he came out, he met Concubine Zhou Shu who came to show her courtesy: "Mr. Li, is your Majesty still busy?"

Facing Concubine Zhou Shu, Manager Li was quite polite: "Go back to Concubine Shu, Your Majesty is worried about the Feng family case. I advise you to go back first."

Concubine Zhou Shu was very displeased when she heard this, but she didn't want to get angry, so she asked the palace maid to give the food box to Manager Li.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made by myself. Could you please Mr. Li and give it to Your Majesty for me?"

Manager Li took the food box, responded with a smile, and turned around and went in.

Concubine Zhou Shu pinched her palms secretly. Her Majesty had not been to her palace for several days, and she was afraid that she had forgotten about her brother.

"Go back to the palace!"

Mingyue immediately withdrew her gaze, carefully supported Concubine Zhou Shu, and advised, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs these days. He will naturally come to see you when he is done."

"They say flowers never bloom for a hundred days, I'm afraid Your Majesty is tired of me." Concubine Zhou Shu said sadly.

Mingyue lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet will be held soon. Your Majesty will surely regain your favor by performing a song at that time."

"Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
