From the inside came out a figure that had not been seen for a long time, but was very familiar.

Ye Xu glanced at him and was stunned for a moment: "Commander Li?"

Standing in front of him is Li Bu hurt.

His face was condensed. In such a hot weather, he didn't even show a drop of sweat, as if he was wearing a cold mask on his face. He didn't show any expression when he saw Ye Wei.

Only nodded to him: "Master Ye."

"..."

Ye Xu frowned slightly.

He doesn’t know much about Li Bushang, but what happened on the way back from Jinling back to Peiping, there have been a lot of rumors in and outside the palace. Although he believed that the imperial concubine had no idea about this young man, he did. It's hard to say what you think.

In addition, the four commanders of Beizhen Fusi, Zhu Feng often used those three, and left him alone.

Ye Xun also understood the reason.

So I am a little puzzled, how could he appear here?

He looked at Li's injury, and said with a smile, "Command Li came here to see the emperor, is there anything important?"

"..."

Li Bushang did not speak.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Feng's voice has already been heard: "Ye Yu is here?"

Ye Xu immediately said: "The emperor, the ministers ask to see you."

"come in."

"Yes."

After speaking, he didn't have time to say anything to Li Bushang, and hurriedly walked into the Imperial Study Room. After entering, he looked back and saw Li Bushang's back and quickly disappeared outside the door.

Ye Yin hesitated for a while, and Zhu Feng's voice rang again.

"Not coming in yet?"

He hurriedly walked over to bow to Zhu Feng, and saw Zhu Feng sitting behind the table with a paperwork on hand.

It looks like it was just delivered.

Li Bushang sent it.

He sorted out the essay and put it in the pile of essays beside him, then raised his head to look at Ye Wei and asked, "Is there any progress?"

Ye Xu knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen... is here to ask the emperor for sin."

Zhu Feng looked down at him: "No progress?"

Ye Wei said: "Weichen asked Huangshan to mobilize the troops of the Sixth Army in the forbidden city to search for Si Muzhen in the city, but this man...is like turning into smoke without a trace."

"..."

"Now, all the clues are on her. If she can't be found, there has been no progress on this matter."

"..."

"Please forgive the emperor, the minister is incompetent."

Zhu Feng glanced at him and waved his hand lightly: "Get up first."

"..."

"This incident also embarrassed you. When it happened, we were all in the northwest. If it happened, it would be difficult for you to check it again."

"..."

"But, other than finding someone, you have no other way?"

Ye Xun stood up, did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhu Feng with a complicated expression, and then said softly: "Weichen came here this time because he wanted to ask the emperor."

"Oh? What do you want?"

"Weichen wants to know whether the emperor wants to solve this matter or whether he wants to find out the truth."

"..."

Zhu Feng originally stretched out his hand for the tea cup next to him, but when he heard this, his hand paused slightly.

Still took the tea cup and took a sip.

Then calmly said: "Solving things and clarifying the truth, aren't these two things one thing?"

Ye Xu shook his head seriously and said, "No."

Zhu Feng glanced at him: "Then tell me, what's the difference?"

Ye Xun said, "Let me talk about how to solve this problem first."

"Ok."

"Recently, the Weichen asked the Sixth Army of the Forbidden City to search for Si Muzhen's whereabouts in the city. Although the person has not been found yet, for some reason, the news has been leaked."

"Oh? Everyone in the capital knows you are looking for her."

"They know that the government is looking for her."

"..."

"Everyone knows that as a substitute for the imperial concubine, she became a monk in Zhenjue Temple; the meeting between Wang Wei and Miss Gu, regardless of the truth, exists as an insider."

"..."

"Now, as soon as it happened, she was gone."

"..."

"The common people have cast their suspicion on her, and even now some new rumors have appeared among the people."

"New rumors? What are they, you tell me."

Ye Xu stepped forward and said carefully: "Some people say that Si Muzhen and the imperial concubine empress have a rift, and because of being forced out of the house, they have a grudge against the Gu family. This time, it was her. Reported for revenge."

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He said: "Then you said, the way to solve this matter is—"

Ye Xu said: "Wang Wei and Miss Gu have always been disturbed by rumors, but from another perspective, rumors are not necessarily bad. To solve this matter, Weichen believes that we should rely on this rumors."

Zhu Feng said: "You mean, take this opportunity to put this rumor to the truth."

"..."

"By the way, clean up the matter between Wang Wei and Gu Qiqing?"

"Yes."

Ye Xu said seriously: "After all, when the two of them were found, they didn't really do anything unbearable. The previous rumors were also made by some good people."

"..."

"Now, if all the responsibility can be put on Si Muzhen, it is said that she invited Miss Gu to the Zhenjue Temple sisters to meet, and Wei Wang happened to go to Zhenjue Temple to offer incense on that day to pray for the emperor; Zhen took the opportunity to get the two together, and then—"

He stopped talking about the next words.

Needless to say, Zhu Feng naturally understood everything.

However, Zhu Feng did not speak immediately, instead he pondered for a while, and then said: "Then, you just said that clarifying the truth is different from this matter?"

"Yes."

"How is it different?"

Ye Wei said: "Si Muzhen's disappearance now proves that she is just a figure on the stage. Weichen believes that there should be a black hand behind the scenes in this matter."

"..."

"If things remain unresolved for a day, the people behind the scenes are just like us. They will not feel at ease.

"..."

"So, if you want to check again, you can't let the rumors determine the facts so quickly. Because this way, some people behind the scenes will not move anymore. It will be more difficult to find out."

"..."

Zhu Feng did not speak, but took another sip with the teacup.

Said: "If you want to find out the truth, how do you plan to find out?"

Ye Yi looked up at him and said, "Weichen can only ask for an order to seal Zhenjue Temple and the nun's house, detain all the people inside, and ask carefully how much Si Muzhen has followed these days. People come and go."

"..."

"Just in this way, things really make a big deal."

"..."

"And the common people are not so easy to believe that the matter between Wang Wei and Miss Gu was only framed by her, Si Muzhen."

"..."

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Feng: "So, the minister came to ask the emperor for an idea."

"..."

"The emperor wants to solve the problem, or the truth?"
