After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Lou Xiyue was the first to break the silence in the room: "It seems that this clue to Wuji Palace can only end here. I originally wanted to get to Chongwei Wenmei's stronghold through the leader of the thief, but now I can only think of other ways. "

She looked at Fu Guan and said, "Xiyu and Wen Jisheng are walking around the rivers and lakes. Maybe they will have clues."

Fu Dian nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this time, Xuan Yi said: "This is not the most important thing. What is important is that Qi Lian is also missing."

Lou Xiyue: "Is it Qi Lian, the druggist who distributed medicinal materials everywhere during the epidemic in Jiangnan?" She said in surprise: "Isn't the purpose of his trip just to deliver medicinal materials to the capital? Why did he disappear? You said he was missing. What do you mean?"

"The thing is like this..." Xuan Yi said: "On the day I left for the capital, I said that I wanted to check Qi Lian again, so my subordinates went to do it immediately..."

Xuan Yi made arrangements and ordered several spies to secretly follow Qi Lian's whereabouts. At the same time, he sent someone to Guicheng again to carefully check the details of the Qi family drug dealer.

"My subordinate originally wanted to go to Guicheng in person, but on the way, I heard from the spies that Qi Lian did not go to the capital to deliver medicine at all, but sent his steward Sun to go." Xuan Yi said:

"As for Qi Lian himself, he went to the northwest with two young men who were waiting on him. His subordinates were suspicious, so they had to temporarily glance at the trip to Guicheng and immediately chased after him..."

On the way, Xuan Yi heard from the spies that Qi Lian and the two boys stayed in Yanzhou City for a long time, staying in the brothel day and night without going out.

"My subordinates thought that Qi Lian was a dirty guy, why was he still staying in the brothel and refusing to leave? Who would have thought that he would actually trick him!" Thinking of this incident, Xuan Yi's teeth itched with hatred:
"That night, my subordinates brought some people to prepare for a night visit to the brothel. Unexpectedly, the visit was in vain - Qi Lian left long ago, and the only ones left in the brothel were his two boys!"

Hearing these words, Xuan Miao began to dislike this brother: "I have told you a long time ago that Qi Lian is not a simple person, and I asked you not to take it lightly. But the result - ha, if you let others play with you, not only will your trip be in vain, but you will also I almost got stuck in a brothel and couldn’t get out!”

Xuan Miao sneered: "You are really capable."

Xuan Yi was so anxious that he jumped: "Hey, you have to have proof for what you say. Why am I stuck in a brothel? The prince is still here. Stop talking nonsense!"

Xuan Miao pretended to be surprised and said: "You were taken away as a slave. This is not called... oh, it should be called falling into the world of mortals. How pitiful."

Xuan Yi glared at him fiercely: "Xuan Miao, I will strangle you to death!"

Lou Xiyue: "..." She couldn't help but laugh: "Your mission this time is quite interesting."

Fu Guan also had a bit of a smile on his face, but he quickly stopped smiling and said, "Okay, let's talk business and stop making jokes."

"Yes..." Xuan Yi glared at Xuan Miao aggrievedly and reluctantly, and then said sternly: "My subordinates did not catch Qi Lian, so they had to arrest two of his servants.

"The boy was very stubborn and refused to reveal Qi Lian's whereabouts. After being tortured, he confessed that Qi Lian had disguised himself a few days ago and left Yanzhou City disguised as an ordinary prostitute."

At this point, Xuan Yi sighed and said, "No matter how much my subordinates torture me, I still claim that I don't know the whereabouts of Qi Lian.

"Subsequently, my subordinates also sent people along Yanzhou City to track down the other towns, but there were no clues. Qi Lian just disappeared."

"I have met Qi Lian several times. Although he is polite, he has a lively mind. He may have discovered that someone was following him, so he came to the brothel to escape." Fu Guan said:

"The other party is too cunning. This is not entirely your fault. There is no need to blame yourself." Xuan Yi still felt distressed: "Well, if I had been more careful, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"Come on, no matter how much you blame yourself, it's useless. You might as well talk about what you discovered in Guicheng later." Xuan Miao said.

"Yes, speaking of this..." Xuan Yi said: "After losing Qi Lian, my subordinates went to Guicheng to check the background of the Qi family, but..."

"But what?"

"But in Guicheng, there is no businessman named Qi at all!" Xuan Yi clapped his legs and said: "Not to mention the Qi family who have been doing business for generations. I searched the entire Guicheng and couldn't find a single person named Qi!"

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't we already investigate his background when we were in Jiangnan?" Lou Xiyue said, "Even if the information given at that time was wrong, it shouldn't be because there was no trace of this person."

Fu Guan frowned slightly and said: "The news returned by the spies earlier said that there is indeed a family named Qi in Guicheng. Why are all the people named Qi disappeared now? Who is the spy responsible for spreading the news?"

He thought that this matter was either because the Qi family had a guilty conscience and heard the news in advance, so they moved their family away from Guicheng and became anonymous;

Or...the explanation given by Qi Lian from the beginning and the information given by the spies were all fabricated. They were deceived and played by this businessman with ulterior motives.

"That spy..." Xuan Yi said: "After discovering that the Qi family was missing, my subordinates immediately summoned the spy who was investigating Qi Lian's details. As a result, his body was found without anyone seeing him."

The expression on Fu Guan's face did not change. He just asked: "Where was the body found?"

Xuan Yi: "On the outskirts of Guicheng. When my subordinates found him, his body was severely decomposed and beyond recognition. I also recognized his identity based on the royal token left on him."

Xuan Miao said: "The spies from our palace are all loyal and will never do anything ungrateful to the Lord. The letter sent by the spies must have been tampered with in private by Qi Lian."

Lou Xiyue: "The movements of his hands and feet are really powerful, and he can even kill people."

"This is probably a trap set by Qi Lian. We have fallen into each other's trap!" At this point, Xuan Yi felt unwilling: "I have been busy for a while, but not only did I not catch him, I also lost a spy! How shameful!"

Xuan Miao sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, it's useless to say anything." He asked Fu Guan for instructions: "Master, what should we do next?"

Fu Guan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "If you ask me, I have no idea."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Then Xuan Yi said "Hey" and then asked: "By the way, there seems to be a big change in the capital these days? I heard that the Holy One appointed King Yin as the crown prince. When did this happen?"

On the other side, Xuan Miao also asked: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much - Your Majesty rarely makes friends with courtiers. Why did you come to visit the new Shangguan Lord of Dali Temple in person today?"

Lou Xiyue answered this question on behalf of Fu Guan: "Well...it's a long story..."
