Chapter 132: Public Interrogation
After Feng Zhaoyun and Bai Jinzhi washed up, a strange man knocked on the door. But from the hoarse voice, Feng Zhaoyun still recognized it as Black Hawk.
After Black Hawk took Grandpa Qingmu's medicine, it took some time for his throat to recover.
After the door opened, Black Hawk walked in with a man. When the man saw Bai Jinzhi, he knelt down respectfully and saluted, "Your Highness."
Bai Jinzhi's expression was indifferent, "Let's get started."
After saying this, the man knelt down towards Feng Zhaoyun and said, "Please follow me, my lord."
Feng Zhaoyun looked at Bai Jinzhi with a puzzled expression. Bai Jinzhi smiled gently and said quickly, "This is Mo Han's disguise artist. Follow him. Otherwise, you won't be able to enter the Imperial City with this face."
After hearing what she said, Feng Zhaoyun understood. She had thought of this a long time ago. Feng Yaoyu would definitely kill her after knowing her identity. She didn't expect that Bai Jinzhi could actually find such a strange person. With this disguise artist, Feng Yaoyu would probably have to put in some effort.
After a while, the disguise artist had changed Feng Zhaoyun's appearance, making it look quite ordinary. Jiuyi and Xiao Siying also had their appearances changed.
At this time, Lord Zhang, the governor of Kyoto, had been waiting impatiently at the post station, but he did not dare to urge him. He had heard that Prince Bai Mohan of Yan State had a cruel and very strange personality.
What's strange is that the Ninth Prince's people also disappeared this morning. I guess they may have returned to the imperial city early.
Lord Zhang was standing outside the post station with a thoughtful look on his face. At this time, Bai Jinzhi had already led everyone out of the post station.
Upon seeing this, Lord Zhang hurriedly led his men forward and saluted, "Your Highness Prince Mo, I will personally escort you on the journey to the Imperial City."
Bai Jinzhi was wearing a veil at this time, revealing only a pair of eyes. Lord Zhang didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that these eyes were a little different from yesterday.
Bai Jinzhi ignored him and said casually, "Thank you for your help. Let's go."
After that, everyone got on the carriage and set off towards the imperial city.
When they arrived outside the imperial city, the Ninth Princess had already sent Prime Minister Jiang and Minister Gu to wait outside the city.
Bai Jinzhi lifted the curtain and looked out at the city ahead. After lowering the curtain, Feng Zhaoyun asked, "Should we notify the Duke?"
Bai Jinzhi didn't answer, but simply held Feng Zhaoyun's hand. "Why? Your Highness, are you afraid that I can't protect you?"
Feng Zhaoyun shook his head. "That's not the case. It's just that Yun Jin, you've found your mother now. Your father was very worried about you after you disappeared and searched everywhere for you."
Bai Jinzhi didn't say anything. At this moment, Black Hawk knocked on the car door outside, "Your Highness, we're here."
As soon as Bai Jinzhi got off the carriage, he saw that the outside of the city was full of officials and runners.
Seeing the envoys from the State of Yan coming, Prime Minister Jiang stood up from the tea stall and stood at the door with everyone.
Bai Jin, dressed in white, became the focus of everyone outside the imperial city the moment he got out of the car. He was like a banished immortal, with an extraordinary temperament, which made everyone speculate what she looked like under the veil.
Lord Zhang stepped forward and exchanged greetings with Prime Minister Jiang. Before Prime Minister Jiang could speak, Minister Gu spoke from the side, "His Highness the Ninth Prince ordered us to wait here to greet him and investigate any spies from the enemy nation. Why did Lord Zhang arrive so late? He kept me waiting!"
Prime Minister Jiang glanced sideways at Minister Gu with an expression of impatience. This old woman thought she had hooked up with the Ninth Princess, and she had been disrespecting him recently.
Lord Zhang took a look at the two men's expressions and bowed, saying, "Prime Minister Jiang, I have escorted the Yan Kingdom envoys all the way and have not seen any spies. If you wish to investigate, please inform His Highness Prince Mo. I am a lowly official and my words are not taken seriously. I dare not offend the Prince of Yan."
Prime Minister Jiang nodded and said, "Lord Zhang, you have worked hard. Minister Gu will personally go and ask for instructions from the Prince of Yan regarding the order he has received. However, since His Highness Prince Mo is renowned, please treat him with courtesy."
After Jiang Xiangguo finished speaking, he smiled contemptuously. He had heard that Bai Mohan from Yan State was cruel and vicious by nature. If this woman insisted on provoking him, he would never stop her.
Minister Gu glanced at Prime Minister Jiang and Lord Zhang. These two old villains had abandoned him completely. He would go back and report to the Ninth Princess to see how they would end up. Now, it was obvious that the world belonged to the Ninth Princess.
Minister Gu straightened his clothes and said with a frivolous look, "Forget it, I will go now."
At this time, Bai Jinzhi also got off the carriage with the maids, and several people hurried forward to greet them.
Prime Minister Jiang bowed and said, "Greetings to His Highness Prince Mo. Your Highness must have had a very tiring journey."
Bai Jinzhi was already tall, and although only a pair of eyes were exposed, he was very difficult to get along with. He looked down at the few people and said indifferently, "The king is tired, let's go into the city."
Everyone was stunned. How could this Prince Mo be so rude? Minister Gu stepped out and said, "Your Highness Prince Mo, by order of His Highness the Ninth Prince, all envoys entering the city must be inspected."
Bai Jinzhi glanced at Minister Gu coldly, and Minister Gu trembled at the look...
Bai Jinzhi said, "Who is the Ninth Princess? How dare you come to interrogate me!"
Minister Gu was furious. He had never expected Prince Mo to be so bold and arrogant as to publicly humiliate the Ninth Princess on Shang State territory. "Your Highness Prince Mo, please cooperate. We are only following orders!"
Bai Jinzhi said, "Oh? Then tell me, who are you investigating? If I ask you to investigate and you can't find the person, what will you do?"
Upon hearing this, Minister Gu stepped forward and said, "We have been ordered to investigate spies from the enemy country. Please don't make things difficult for us, Your Highness."
Lord Zhang and Prime Minister Jiang stood by without saying a word, looking at Minister Gu without offering a word of help.
Bai Jinzhi sneered and looked at Minister Gu, "Go ahead and check. If you can't find anything, can I take something from you?"
Minister Gu was startled. What was he going to take? "As long as Your Highness doesn't threaten my personal safety, money is just a personal possession. Feel free to take it."
Hearing this, Black Hawk frowned. Minister Gu was humiliating His Highness...
Bai Jinzhi was not angry, and said calmly, "Okay!"
Minister Gu immediately changed his expression and waved his hand. Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed out of the city and trotted towards the envoys.
Prime Minister Jiang was stunned. Minister Gu actually had the Ninth Princess's permission to mobilize troops? What on earth was she looking for?
Minister Gu's momentum was very strong. Deputy General Xue, who was protecting the envoy, remained motionless when she saw the troops coming, and showed an attitude of not giving way. She didn't know that her master had changed his appearance, and was afraid that her master would be searched and discovered, so she could only fight to the death.
Of course, Minister Gu's men were no match for Lieutenant General Xue's men. Seeing that Lieutenant General Xue was determined to fight, no one dared to step forward.
At this moment, Feng Zhaoyun gave Jiuyi a look. Jiuyi lowered her head and walked up to Lieutenant General Xue with the demeanor of a maid, saying, "General, since our Highness has given his permission, you can interrogate us."
Vice Admiral Xue looked at the person in front of him, puzzled. Who was this? He didn't recognize any of the four maids who were currently serving His Majesty King Jin...
