Two days later, the news that the Crown Princess was feeling unwell and would go to Xinfeng County to relax for a few days accompanied by Princess Changxi spread quickly in the new capital.

This happened because Xue's family was involved in treason a few days ago and Xue Chengyi was taken away by the Dali Temple for investigation. A group of onlookers were talking about it, and they said that the Crown Princess wanted to leave the city for a few days because she was upset about what happened to the Xue's family.

After all, everyone knows that the Xue family is the only family recognized by the Crown Princess!

Some people even say that the Crown Princess is leaving now to avoid suspicion and not to be implicated in the Xue family affair. After all, treason is no small matter and if one is not careful, the Crown Prince might be implicated. As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. For the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely more important now.

Various rumors were circulated widely, and the final result was that even three-year-old children in the new capital knew that the Crown Princess had gone to Xinfeng County.

At this time, Su Liuyue was already sitting safely in the carriage heading to Xinfeng County. Looking at Princess Changxi sitting opposite her, Su Liuyue smiled helplessly, "Aunt, you don't have to accompany me personally..."

"How could my aunt let you do such a dangerous thing alone?"

Princess Changxi glared at her and said, "Besides, if I hadn't told His Majesty that I wanted to accompany you to relax, do you think His Majesty would let you go so readily at this juncture?"

Although the emperor was not the one who was eyeing Xinfeng County, he knew that her third cousin was in Xinfeng County.

At a time when the Xue family was suspected of treason, he naturally did not want to see Su Liuyue having any contact with the Xue family.

Therefore, these two days, Princess Changxi came to the palace in person and said that Liuyue had been depressed for some time and was about to get sick. She happened to have a beautiful manor in Xinfeng County, so she wanted to take Liuyue to live there for a few days.

His Majesty was extremely reluctant at first, but Princess Changxi half pleaded and half played the emotional card, and the Majesty finally nodded reluctantly.

However, he still sent out a team of Thousand Bull Guards, under the pretext that the situation was not peaceful at the moment and he was worried that something might happen to them on the way, so he sent a team of Thousand Bull Guards to protect them.

It took some time to obtain the emperor's permission that they left Beijing two days late.

Su Liuyue also knew this, and looked at Princess Changxi and smiled faintly, saying, "I know the good intentions of my aunt."

Princess Changxi saw her like this and didn't know what to say. She took her hand and patted it gently, then sighed and said, "You sent a message to your third cousin these two days, right? Did he reply?"

"I'm back."

Su Liuyue said calmly, "But, it was his long-time attendant who sent the letter back. He said in the letter that bandits have been appearing in the hills near Xinfeng County recently. My cousin has been leading people out to suppress the bandits these days, and we don't know when he will be back."

Although suppressing bandits is also part of the county magistrate's job, suppressing bandits at this time seems a bit too coincidental.

Su Liuyue sneered and said, "I'm afraid it was that villain hiding behind who deliberately sent my third cousin away.

Something happened to the Xue family in the past two days. If my third cousin had been staying in the county government office, he would have received the news a long time ago.

And with my third cousin's intelligence, how could he not think that sooner or later this fire would burn him after he knew the news of the Xue family's trouble?

Therefore, the villain behind the scenes had no choice but to send the third cousin away so that he could be caught and taken back to the capital without any warning."

In this way, the third cousin might not even have time to inform Zhou Yunke’s garrison near Xinfeng County about this matter.

But...if the villain behind the scenes wanted to occupy Xinfeng County, how could he not guard against the garrison Zhou Yunke had deployed next to Xinfeng County?

I'm afraid he had already taken some defensive measures against that group of garrison troops.

She continued, "If the mastermind behind this wanted to take us by surprise, he would probably have done it before my third cousin finished suppressing the bandits and returned to the county government office."

Only in this way can Xue Wenjin be killed by surprise.

Princess Changxi understood everything, "That's why you asked Fengqi to send someone to Xinfeng County overnight to secretly find out where Xue Sanlang is now.

However, even if you knew where Xue Sanlang was, the Qianniu Guards sent by the emperor are following us closely, and you cannot leave to find Xue Sanlang."

"I said yesterday that I am here to be the bait. If I don't spread out the bait, I won't be able to catch any big fish."

Su Liuyue blinked mysteriously and said with a smile: "So, I would like to ask my aunt to do me a favor." After hearing what Su Liuyue wanted her to do, Princess Changxi said: "..."

She suddenly discovered that Liu Yue and her troublesome nephew were quite similar in some ways——

Same...crazy.

Because Xinfeng County was not far from Xinjing, in the afternoon, Princess Changxi and Su Liuyue arrived at Princess Changxi's farm next to Xinfeng County.

This farm was also a gift from His Majesty to Princess Changxi. His Majesty's treatment of Princess Changxi was truly impeccable.

Although now, he may very well regret giving away such a farm.

After Su Liuyue and Princess Changxi entered the manor, the team of thousand-bull guards sent by the emperor were immediately distributed throughout the manor to guard it strictly.

However, after a while, a scream suddenly came from the manor. The Qianniu guards guarding outside the yard were slightly stunned and could not help but look at each other.

Before they could figure out what was going on, Aunt Mingyu, who was beside Princess Changxi, suddenly ran out with a pale face and said in panic, "There are thieves in the manor... in the manor! Those nasty villains must have known that Her Highness the Princess was coming, and they found ways to disguise themselves as servants in the manor and sneak in before that! Her Highness the Princess is now being held hostage by them... by them!
Come and save Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

The Qianniu Guards were shocked.

However, they were now guarding the small gate on the left side of the village, which was quite far from the other gates. If they left, others would not be able to get there immediately.

They may not even have time to notify their partners who are waiting elsewhere.

This is equivalent to this small door being left unattended for a period of time...

They were struggling with all sorts of issues when Aunt Mingyu suddenly stamped her feet in anger and said, "What are you all doing! Don't you know why His Majesty sent you here?! Our Princess is His Majesty's only legitimate sister. If anything happens to Her, you can expect to lose your heads!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but tremble. They didn't have time to think any more. They quickly drew the swords at their waists and asked, "Where are those villains now?!"

"follow me!"

Aunt Mingyu hurriedly led the way, and a group of Qianniu Guards also quickly followed.

There were not many Qianniu Guards at Xiaomen's side, only six. They originally wanted to keep one person, but they were urged by Aunt Mingyu and even forgot about it.

Not long after they left, Su Liuyue, dressed in men's clothes, came out quickly from behind a shelter with Feng Qi.

Feng Qi led the way and said, "I have already sent someone to prepare a carriage not far away. Please, Madam..."

He wanted to say "hurry up", but suddenly thought of something and swallowed the words.

Su Liuyue had consciously quickened her pace and finally got on the carriage before the Qianniu Guards returned.

As soon as she got on the carriage, she said in a deep voice, "Go to where Magistrate Xue is right away."

The carriage galloped forward quickly.

Su Liuyue breathed gently to warm her frozen hands, then lifted the curtain a little and took a look outside.

I don’t know if it’s about to snow, the sky outside is completely dark.

Just as she arrived at the farm, Feng Qi told her with a stern face that they had found the location of Magistrate Xue. At the same time, their people who stayed in Xinjing sent a letter at full speed, saying that the emperor had sent people to Xinfeng County to capture Magistrate Xue.

It seems that her visit to Xinfeng County this time also irritated the emperor.

It was not enough for the emperor to send the Qianniu Guards to keep an eye on her, he also had to capture her third cousin and bring him under his nose before he could feel at ease.

The emperor praised her so much that she didn't know whether to be happy or amused. (End of this chapter)
