"Two generals, I have sealed the city as soon as I received the news. You have just had contact with those people, and I will leave the subsequent investigation to you, okay?"

"I will obey the holy edict." Chu Xiu agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what happened today happened in the general's jurisdiction. The general was negligent in his duties. Please punish him." Yu Fu did not dare to accept the order calmly.

"Well, go check it out first. If there are any clues, you can definitely make up for it."

For some reason, Situ Xi always felt that Zuo Duyuan's attitude towards this matter was relatively casual. After learning the news of King Geng's assassination, he neither got angry nor panicked. Is this the emperor?

Or is it just because judging from the results, King Geng was not injured?

But there are people who carry out assassinations in the imperial city. This is always a bit damaging to the royal family's face. But I heard Qingyu say before that it seems that the majesty in front of me was assassinated last year. Maybe this kind of thing

They are already used to it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Yu Fu bowed his head in gratitude.

"Let's talk about the details next, Mo'er. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I would have had a headache." Zuo Duyuan looked at Zhong Limo, who was the shortest, "But why are you hanging out with Li'er today?

We even went to the market together, which is really strange."

"Come here and give Mo'er and Fuyu a seat."

Under Zuo Duyuan's arrangement, Situ Xi and Zhong Limo received special preferential treatment. Even the Crown Prince and Prince Mi were standing aside at the moment, but after looking at each other, they sat down without any psychological burden.

On a chair in the palace.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. His Royal Highness King Geng and His Royal Highness the Prince went to the house early this morning to find me and asked me to go together to buy a birthday gift for the Queen Mother. I heard that some Hu businessmen were coming to the East Market, so I called my brother-in-law to go together...

..." Zhong Limo said in detail.

"Birthday gift? You are really thoughtful." Zuo Duyuan smiled. This was similar to what he had been doing recently.

"My son knows about this matter, and my second brother has put a lot of thought into it. In fact, those Tibetan merchants were organized by my second brother. When he was last year, he entrusted them to purchase some rare treasures from overseas for my great-grandmother."

Zuo Mingche also praised Zuo Mingli at this time.

"So, those businessmen can actually be considered Li'er people?" Zuo Duyuan turned his head and looked at Zuo Mingche.

"It doesn't matter, His Highness seems to have just asked them to do something. The leader of the caravan just ran away when we were in danger." Zhong Limo added.

Yu Fu on the side opened his mouth. At this time, he wanted to apologize for his mistake. It was actually his fault for letting some Hu merchants go.

"What are the specific birthday gifts Li'er prepared?" Compared to the situation at that time, Zuo Duyuan was more concerned about the gifts first.

"They are a pair of glazed longevity peaches, of high quality and fine workmanship. They are so rare that they may be priceless." Situ Xi suddenly answered the question for Zhong Limo. He paused and added: "But it seems that just now

It broke into pieces during the fight.”

Just now, Zuo Mingli had no choice but to use the wooden box containing longevity peaches to block the black-robed man's sword. At that time, Situ Xi heard the sound of broken glass.

"Oh?" Zuo Duyuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and accidentally glanced at the prince, meeting Zuo Mingche's clear eyes, and the Emperor Chu immediately focused on Situ Xi.

"Today has surprised you Fuyu. Speaking of which, I may not have seen you for a long time. I heard that your condition has improved recently. When I saw you today, you have indeed gained some weight. When you first came here, I was always

I’m worried that you won’t get used to living here.”

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Fuyu is grateful." Situ Xi also called himself by his own name. If he really wanted to talk about it, he could also call him "my king".

"Alas." Looking at the people below again, Zuo Duyuan sighed, and then he suddenly ended the topic, "Forget it, let's just stop here today."

Standing up from his seat, he waved to Huaize who was waiting at the entrance of the palace.

"I heard that it was Fuyu's guard who saved Li'er today, so I have to reward him. In addition, the two members of the Zhongli family were frightened... Huaize, reward the guard with a thousand silver strings and some silk brocades; reward Situ Fuyu's mansion.

I will give you a cloud lion crown and a jade rhinoceros belt; I will give Zhongli an iron coupon."

"Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty."

Qixian was not brought into the palace. He was waiting outside at the moment. He was the one who took action to save people, but Emperor Chu's reward took all three of them into consideration.

But, isn’t this a bit stingy?

After thanking him, Situ Xi looked at Zhong Limo beside him and saw the undisguised look of disappointment on his face, and he suddenly knew something was wrong.

"As for Shen Yan, I will reward you with studying at home for five days. I will send someone to explain to the emperor later."

"This...is! Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Zuo Chenyan's face turned dark, but he quickly covered it up and forced a smile to thank him. Situ Xi and Zhong Limo suddenly felt balanced.

"Generals Yu Fu and Zhong Xiu, I order you to immediately lead troops to hunt down the suspicious person. The person behind this assassination will be found out. You are allowed to act cheaply, and you will be rewarded later on."

"The last general takes command!"

"Then let's do this for now. Since we have nothing to do, we won't rush to convene a small court today. Let's discuss the specific situation with the ministers in detail at the court meeting tomorrow." This was what Zuo Duyuan ordered to Huaize.

"By the way, you guys should go out less often before the Flower Festival. The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, so don't go around causing trouble."

…

Not long after everyone left, Zuo Duyuan dismissed all the maids in the palace.

After sitting down on the chair, Zuo Duyuan opened a curtain behind him, and there was actually a man standing behind the curtain.

"My sons have not improved much in knowledge, but they have become a lot more courageous."

"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"

"It's not interesting. I just hope that they will calm down for a while during this period." Zuo Duyuan sighed, "But this is a good opportunity. I have ordered the city to be closed for three days. In the name of investigating assassins, you can bring some people here

Searches are being carried out everywhere in the city to find out the chaos that was not found before."
