Chapter 417 Princess You in Shuiyunyan
Chapter 417 Princess You in Shuiyunyan
After listening to Cangyue's advice, the old emperor immediately arranged for someone to find the midwife who delivered Lan Xin.
The matter was finally settled.
Then, the emperor asked the Evil King and Jiang Yimo to stay for a while, and the rest of the people in the palace left.
After everyone else left, the old emperor suddenly asked about Little Li who had been serving him all along: "Seventh Brother, have you found out the whereabouts of Little Li who has been serving me all along?"
The evil king shook his head, frowning as he said, "Father, when Momo and I disguised ourselves and came to see you, you were already poisoned and lying in bed, and Eunuch Li was not by your side to serve you at that time."
"After seeing you, I quietly sent someone to check his whereabouts, but I searched almost the entire palace and couldn't find him."
The old emperor sighed deeply, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Hey, although the little Lizi is young, he is smart and loyal to me. I have always valued him very much, and I hope nothing will happen to him."
The evil king looked at the old emperor's expression and felt sad.
He knew that Little Leo was not just a servant to the old emperor, but also an emotional sustenance.
Now that Leo is missing, one can imagine how reluctant the old emperor feels.
"I will continue to look for the whereabouts of Eunuch Li, please rest assured, father." The evil king said firmly.
The old emperor nodded and looked at the evil king gratefully. "Thank you for your help, Old Seven. I hope to find Little Li as soon as possible, and then find the whereabouts of the child and the midwife."
The evil king bowed slightly, indicating that he would do his best.
Afterwards, Jiang Yimo examined the old emperor's body again and left him some tonic pills.
She and the evil king left, leaving the old emperor sitting alone on the dragon throne, thinking silently.
……
That night, the night was very dark. When Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen returned to the Evil King's Mansion, they saw Xie Hefan, Marquis Jingming, General Gu and his son Gu Nanfeng already waiting in the hall.
When the four saw them coming back, they all looked at them.
Jingming Hou was the first to ask, "How are things in the palace being handled?"
Feng Wuhen replied calmly, "Concubine Rou and Prince Kang have both been imprisoned. Three days later, the emperor will give them a cup of poisoned wine and send them off."
When people heard the news, they were not surprised. After all, regicide and seizing the throne was not an ordinary crime. It was a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan!
Even the royal family is no exception.
But now, it is shocking that they have committed such an unforgivable crime.
According to common sense, the mother and son should be severely punished. However, due to their special identities, many people speculate that their final outcome may not be as tragic as that of ordinary criminals.
Perhaps, they would be given poisoned wine or forced to commit suicide with white silk in order to preserve the face of the royal family.
Although this ending is still cruel, it is a relatively mild way of dealing with it in comparison.
Jingming Hou sighed and said with emotion: "Rou Fei has been favored all these years, suppressing the status of the queen, and often targeting your mother. She can be said to be able to call the wind and rain in the harem. I didn't expect that she would end up like this now."
Feng Wuhen nodded expressionlessly without saying anything.
He knew that what Concubine Rou and Prince Kang had done had crossed the bottom line and they must be punished accordingly.
And he would not let those who had hurt him and his mother go unpunished.
"Uncle, General Gu, have all matters in the military camp been settled?" Feng Wuhen said to the two of them.
Marquis Jingming and General Gu nodded.
Marquis Jingming continued, "Everything has been settled. Gu Yuanshan is now guarding the barracks."
Hearing this news, Feng Wuhen felt relieved.
He knew that as long as Gu Yuanshan was there, there would be no problems in the military camp for the time being.
After all, Gu Yuanshan is an experienced and powerful general, and his presence can make Feng Wuhen feel at ease.
"Okay, I feel relieved with him around." Feng Wuhen said.
At this critical moment, there must be a reliable person to guard the military camp to ensure the stability and safety of the army.
And Gu Yuanshan is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Xie Hefan, who was standing by, saw that Feng Wuhen, Marquis Jingming, and General Gu had almost finished their talk.
He then said, "I have found out King You's recent whereabouts and who he has colluded with."
"I also found something interesting. The original wife of King You, Consort Tang Mengyin, is not in Shuiyunyan, and the woman in Shuiyunyan is just her substitute."
The Evil King and the others were really surprised when they heard Xie Hefan's words.
Because everyone present had heard about what happened between Princess You and Gu Yuanshan. Afterwards, Princess You became a nun in Shuiyunyan, and the Gu family was exiled to a wild place.
Now the Gu family is back, and only now do we know that the Princess You who was practicing with her hair uncut in Shuiyunyan was just a substitute. So where is the real Princess You?
The relationship between them is complex and subtle, which makes people think a lot.
Everyone was secretly speculating in their hearts, wondering what kind of story and conspiracy was hidden behind this.
They were surprised and curious about Sheikhfan's findings.
Everyone knows that King You has always been a sinister and ambitious person, and behind him is the Hundred Ghosts Gate.
Although his Hundred Ghosts Sect's power was almost destroyed by Jiang Yimo, Feng Wuhen and others.
But his every move will still affect the current political situation.
In this palace coup, the person that the evil king wanted to capture the most was actually King You, because King You was a venomous snake that was the best at hiding.
The situation of Prince You's wife Tang Mengyin is even more confusing.
Why isn't she in Shuiyunyan?
Who arranged that substitute?
These questions have made people think deeply.
In this era full of intrigue and struggle, every detail may become the key to determining victory or defeat.
Xie Hefan's discovery undoubtedly provided them with more clues and directions for thinking.
"Master Xie, please don't make this public yet, so as not to alert the enemy. It would be best if you can find out the whereabouts of Princess Zhenyou first."
Feng Wuhen suggested to him.
"Don't worry, although I'm not as smart as you, I still understand this principle."
Xie Hefan nodded, and then seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, what should we do next?"
Feng Wuhen pondered for a moment and said, "Master Xie, the most important thing right now is to find Princess You. Other things can be put aside for the time being."
"First, we need to find out why Princess You is not in Shuiyunyan, and whether someone is manipulating all this behind the scenes."
"Secondly, we need to collect more information about her, including her whereabouts, interpersonal relationships, etc."
"Finally, and most importantly, we must remain vigilant and be prepared for any danger that may arise."
