Chapter 2099: Things Look Grim

velocity of an arrow depends not only on the quality of the bow but also on the weight of the arrow, its flex (softness or stiffness), and the draw length (the distance from the point where the bowst...After Mo Yunjing mentioned Bai Feng, Yun Si's expression instantly became tense.

These days, he has sent people to guard all over the capital city, just to catch the people from BaiGuang Palace.

After all, those from the BaiGuang Palace have vanished as if into thin air, suddenly disappearing without a trace.

Prior to this, people from the Bai Guang Palace would occasionally appear in the capital city, attempting to attack those from their Bei Jiang Wangfu.

Since the return of their prince and princess, the people of Bai Guang Palace have vanished like they were never there.

No matter how thoroughly they searched in Beijing, they couldn't find a single clue.

Upon hearing their lord's words, Yun Si immediately nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, I will arrange it right away."

After finishing his report, Yun Si didn't leave immediately. His expression grew serious. "Your Highness, for these past few days, none of the informants in the palace have sent any messages. This subordinate speculates... that most of their identities have been discovered, and they are probably... in grave danger."

They have always sent their subordinates into the palace to monitor everything that happens there, in order to know the emperor's thoughts and actions as soon as possible.

They almost always receive all sorts of news from the palace first.

But for several days now, the men he had hidden in the palace have yet to send word.

These people were all personally trained by Yun Si. Yun Si knew they could be trusted to get the job done.

Since the message couldn't be sent out of the palace for several days, it indicates that they encountered an insurmountable obstacle.

He had also made the worst guess, that the informants he had placed in the palace had all been discovered and lost their lives.

Mo Yunjing's black eyes, after hearing this, resembled the lake water in winter, calm and profound.

The house was deathly quiet.

At this time, Yun Si didn't dare to speak rashly.

Until Mo Yunjing said, "Find a few brothers who are good at light work and try to sneak into the palace to investigate. If it's true... find a way to collect their bodies for them."

"Speaking of this, Mo Yunjing must be afraid that his people would do something unauthorized after entering the palace. He added," Whatever happens in the palace right now, don't interfere."

Yun Si knew that their prince was afraid that the palace might have been completely controlled by Zhi'er and others.

If the brothers who are entering the palace act rashly, they will only harm themselves and lose their lives.

He didn't want anything to happen to his brothers either, so he bowed. "Yes, Your Highness."

After Yunsi left the study, Mo Yunjing walked around the room, trying to find a bronze mirror.

He wanted to see what his face looked like right now.

But after searching all around, he couldn't even find a mirror.

It seems his queen had all the mirrors taken away.

It is unknown whether the couple has some kind of telepathy.

Mo Yunjing had just walked around the room, finding nothing, and as he was about to return to the bed, An Xuetang pushed the door open and entered.

She saw Mo Yunjing standing by the bed, and couldn't help but squint her eyes, "A-Jing, what are you getting up for"

Mo Yunjing, of course, wouldn't tell her that he had just been looking for a copper mirror. He shook his head slightly and asked in return, "Is the meal ready"

"Yes, I came in to tell you that. I'll take the food and send it to my elder brother's courtyard first so he can eat a good meal. Then I'll bring Pingping and Aanan back."

"After we've settled the two children, we can have a meal together, shall we"

Mo Yunjing wasn't in a hurry either, so he nodded slightly, "Alright, do you need my help"

"No need, I'll go with Ning'er. Today is the deadline, and I must bring Pingping and Aanan back."

"If we let my elder brother and Han Gezhu keep these two brothers any longer, the longer they have them, the less willing they'll be to return them. This won't do!"

Moyunjing smiled, "Alright, as you wish."

……

After leaving Jingtang Garden, Yun Si personally selected several Cloud Army soldiers with excellent light skills and the brothers from Xuntang Valley.

Now the Yun family army and Xuntang Valley are completely one, brothers with no distinction between them.

When tasks arise, Yun Si will also trouble the brothers of Xumintang Valley.

After all, the group of brothers from Xintang Valley are indeed skilled.

Especially their light skills, are indeed much better than most of the Cloud Army.

So this time he brought with him most of his men who were from the Tanggu.

Xin Tanggu's brothers were not as familiar with the situation in the palace as Yun's army, so after some thought, he decided to lead his brothers into the palace himself.

More than ten people sneaked into the palace and began searching separately.

As Yun Si had guessed, the informants planted by the Bei Jiang Wangfu have been exposed.

Zhi'er had also sent people to take the lives of those brothers a few days ago.

Now the bodies of those brothers have been disposed of.

Fortunately, Yun Si and the others knew where the bodies from the palace would be thrown after someone died, which was a random cemetery.

After confirming that the group of brothers had died, Yun Si took his men to the nearest burial ground to the Imperial Palace.

As expected, they saw the bodies of their men there.

Looking at those familiar faces, Yun Si's hands clenched into fists, his knees thumped to the ground, and his bloodshot eyes performed a grand bow to these brothers.

Then they let the other brothers join in, carrying away the bodies of their fallen comrades.

Yun Si and the others spent several hours burying their brothers.

After returning home, he first went to the washroom to clean himself up before going to Jingtang Garden to report everything to his own prince.

This outcome was something Mo Yunjing had anticipated all along.

So when Yun Si confirmed the deaths of his men, Mo Yunjing remained expressionless. His emotionless eyes stared at the teacup in front of him, silent for a long while before he finally spoke, "Since Zhi'er has already made her move, don't send anyone into the palace for the next few days. Be careful."

At this point, sending eyeliner to the palace is just sending our brothers to their deaths.

Yun Si naturally understood this, and at this moment, she slightly nodded, "Yes."

……

For almost half a year, the Beijiang Royal Manor received almost no news from the palace.

Although Yun Si often sneaked into the palace, trying to gather information about the emperor and Zhi'er, he was thwarted because the palace was more heavily guarded than ever before.

It's unclear whether it was the emperor's or that Zhi'er's intention, but so many imperial guards were sent to guard various places in the palace.

Even Yun Si himself, if he had gone in personally, would have been discovered several times.

He also wondered if Zhier had already completely controlled the Emperor, wanting him to do something.king about that absurd emperor, An Xuetang let out a cold snort, “This emperor doesn't know what he’s thinking. It is said that he had a nightmare last night and this morning called several princes in...
