Chapter 109 Breaking the situation
When Zhai Yun arrived at Tingyuxuan, Qi Nuo was leading the confrontation with the people from the Dali Temple who wanted to enter and search. Tingyuxuan was full of guards.
The people from the Dali Temple had no way to find another way to enter Tingyuxuan.
Qi Nuo was overjoyed when he saw Zhai Yun, because he knew that the prince had also returned. If they tried to stop the Dali Temple from searching, they would be obstructing law enforcement. Although they could still stop them at the beginning, if the prince didn't come for a long time, they really didn't know how long they could hold on. Now that the prince was back and they had the prince in charge, they didn't have to fight hard.
Zhai Yun scolded the people from the Dali Temple: "The prince has returned home. If there is anything, let your lords talk to the prince in person. The Rui Palace is not a place for you to act wildly. Get out!"
When they heard Feng Chenyi had returned home, they looked at each other and decided to retreat. Qi Nuo walked over and saluted Zhai Yun: "Guard Zhai."
Zhai Yun asked in shock, "How are other places?"
The Dali Temple has dispatched so many people this time, but Tingyuxuan is heavily guarded and difficult to enter. I am afraid that after this, everyone in the imperial capital will know that Tingyuxuan is an important place in the royal palace.
"They have searched everywhere else, including the prince's Chenyun Pavilion." Qi Nuo answered truthfully.
As expected, this was the only place in the entire palace that was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter.
Tingyuxuan will attract everyone's attention.
During the troubled times in the mansion, Qi Nuo continued to take the lead in guarding Tingyuxuan, and secretly sent people to take all the things back to the secret room. Zhai Yun returned to the front hall.
When Zhai Yun arrived at the front hall, she heard Concubine Tian's voice from afar. Concubine Tian angrily pointed at the people from the Dali Temple and complained to Feng Chenyi, "Your Highness, you must help me. These dogs have been rummaging through my things and turning my house upside down."
Feng Chenyi lovingly let Tianfei sit on his lap, and his eyes were full of tears when he looked at Tianfei. Last time when he returned home, everyone knew that Feng Chenyi treated Tianfei very well. This time there were outsiders present, so Feng Chenyi naturally had to act.
Only when the outside world knows that Feng Chenyi likes Tian Fei will Lord Lu continue to work for Feng Chenyi.
Feng Chenyi hooked Tian Fei's chin, his eyes doting: "So what does Tian Fei want?"
When Concubine Tian heard that Feng Chenyi was going to help her vent her anger, she was very happy. She pointed at the Dali Temple people who had just searched her house and said, "I will make them pay the price and chop off their hands."
Although Tian Fei was a bit domineering, Zhai Yun was still a little surprised to hear such words coming from her mouth. Logically speaking, as a lady from a wealthy family, she had never seen blood and would not say such words.
Feng Chenyi's hand hooking her chin was slightly slow, "Oh~, but they are from the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple Shaoqing is also the uncle of the Third Prince. If I cut off their hands, the Third Prince, who doesn't like me in the first place, will impeach me."
Tian Fei was also embarrassed when she heard this. Although her father was a marquis, he might still be of lower status than these princes. She had never suffered such injustice before she got married. "Your Highness, you are the prince. Not to mention that Concubine Su has been banished to the cold palace and has gone crazy, even if she is not crazy, Su Beiqian, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, has to bow to you."
What Tian Fei meant was that Imperial Concubine Su had already fallen, Su Beiqian was just an official, and Feng Chenyi was a prince, so punishing Su Beiqian was just a matter of a word from Feng Chenyi.
Seeing that Concubine Tian refused to give up, Feng Chenyi coldly ordered, "Chop off the hands of those daring servants who raided Concubine Tian's room!"
As soon as Feng Chenyi said this, all the people in the Dali Temple retreated in fear. The people who had climbed over Concubine Tian's room were sweating profusely, and the guards of Prince Rui's Mansion had already drawn their swords and were ready to go out.
"Prince Rui, don't be arrogant!" A rough voice with majesty interrupted the guards of Prince Rui's mansion who wanted to carry out orders.
Su Beiqian walked through the crowd in Dali Temple and strode up to Feng Chenyi. Feng Chenyi looked at him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
He was still young when Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi left, but now he is a sloppy guy with a face full of stubble.
He has been sitting firmly in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple for so many years, and the downfall of Concubine Su has not affected his status at all. This shows that this person is not an ordinary person, and he is the biggest helper of the Third Prince.
But this time he took a risky move and directly framed someone. It must be that the evidence obtained by Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi had already threatened the third prince.
He approached Feng Chenyi without any greeting, but instead spoke confidently, "People from the Dali Temple have already found the batch of inferior arrows from Beihuang in your mansion, yet your Highness is still unaware of his guilt and is even trying to obstruct the Dali Temple's investigation. What is your intention?"
After Su Beiqian finished speaking, he had someone throw the arrows that were found in front of Feng Chenyi. Apart from Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi, these arrows only belonged to the person who cast this batch of arrows. The fact that Su Beiqian was able to find these arrows meant that someone had hidden them in advance.
It just so happened that he led his men to search for the hidden arrow. Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi already had the answer in their minds. The arrow was hidden by Su Beiqian's men, and he led his men to search it out after hiding it.
The person behind the casting of these arrows is really the Third Prince!
Now that the arrow has been found in Prince Rui's mansion, Feng Chenyi has only one chance to prove his innocence, which is to find the person who hid the arrow.
The guards of Prince Rui's Mansion were all from Hanshui Pavilion. Only the servants and maids were recruited. The person who hid the arrow was among them. Zhai Yun immediately came to the gate of the mansion and counted the captured servants and maids, not one more or one less.
But it is still difficult to find the person who hid the arrow among them in such a short time.
Zhai Yun found the housekeeper and learned where the arrow was found. She also learned about the night shifts of the servants and maids that night. The arrow was hidden in the kitchen, which was accessible to both the maids and the servants.
The arrows remained in the woodpile.
Fortunately, some people from Hanshui Pavilion were arranged to hide among these servants in order to monitor these outsiders.
Zhai Yun glanced at them and said calmly, "Anyone who reports suspicious information will receive a reward of 100 taels."
Although the people in Hanshui Pavilion could all escape without the silver, Zhai Yun did not want to expose their existence, so she had to use the bounty method. In this way, even if someone really caught the arrow man, it would only be considered as a reward and would not be suspected.
When they heard the reward of 100 taels, everyone was excited and eager to try.
Someone pointed at the person next to him and said, "It's her. She went to the bathroom for a long time last night."
"It's him, it's him. He hasn't been seen for the past two days."
Seeing people selling out each other for money, Zhai Yun felt a headache. Zhai Yun said, "There must be real evidence."
A man with light steps and a serious face stood up and said, "Guard Zhai, the palace is heavily guarded. The only way to transport these arrows into the palace is to rely on the daily vegetable carts. Some time ago, the kitchen staff bought these things on their own. Two days ago, the housekeeper suddenly got interested and contacted a new merchant.
