Chapter 1955: Story
The Crown Prince’s expression was cold as he spat out a few words.” Leave no survivors!”
“Yes!” After that, he quickly disappeared from the palace.
Eunuch Zhang returned to the royal study. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Then, he reported the situation to the old Emperor.” Your Majesty, why did this Little Li suddenly come to inquire about the Princess of Guguo and the Great General?”
He pondered for a moment and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He said in surprise,” Your Majesty, could it be that someone is suspecting…?” They were suspicious of Jiang Zhennan’s whereabouts.
He didn’t say this out loud. He covered his mouth and looked around. His eyes were obviously filled with fear and uneasiness.
Fortunately, he didn’t say anything at that time. Otherwise, if this information were leaked, it would cause panic.
When the old Emperor heard Eunuch Zhang’s words, his sharp dragon eyes narrowed. He said in a deep voice,” According to what you said, it’s very possible!” After saying that, he asked again,” Which palace is the Little Li you mentioned on duty in?”
Eunuch Zhang thought for a moment and said,” This servant remembers that Little Li works at Wu Cairen’s palace.”
The old Emperor quickly ordered,” Send someone to investigate this, Little Li and Wu Cairen.”
Eunuch Zhang replied,” Yes!”
After receiving the order, Eunuch Zhang quickly went to investigate.
However, the result of the investigation was that Little Li had fallen into the lotus pond. When he was discovered, he was already dead.
When the Emperor heard Eunuch Zhang’s report, his expression was exceptionally serious. He then sternly ordered,” Investigate, see who he has been in contact with recently. Who is the mastermind behind this?”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Eunuch Zhang’s expression was also very serious.
However, the person behind the scenes was very secretive. In the end, they did not find any clues.
Dark Dragon Country, Watermoon Palace
Noble Consort Min was half-reclining on the chaise longue, eating the fresh fruits that the Emperor had sent to the inn from Ni Lai Wo Wang while listening to the sounds of people slapping their own mouths.
At this moment, a young eunuch walked over with a plate of exquisite pastries in his hand. He said very respectfully,” Your Majesty, the Red Kitchen’s pastries are here!”
Noble Consort Min’s expression did not change. She continued to eat the fruit charmingly and flirtatiously. After an unknown period of time, she said in a soft voice,” Alright, stop!”
One of the palace maids, who had been beaten until she was red and swollen, immediately said gratefully,” Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!”
“All of you can leave!” Noble Consort Min said.
After everyone had left, Noble Consort Min stood up from the chaise lounge. Her expression suddenly became serious. She walked toward the young eunuch and stared fiercely at the plate of pastries. She then sighed softly and said,” It’s been so many years, but it’s still here in the end!”
The young eunuch carried the plate of pastries and placed it in front of Noble Consort Min, saying,” Please have some pastries, Your Highness!”
Noble Consort Min’s eyes swept across the plate. She raised her hand, picked up the cake in the middle, and said,” Alright, you may leave!”
The little eunuch did not say much and obediently left.
After the little eunuch left, she immediately opened the pastry and revealed a small note.
When she opened the note and saw the contents, her pupils constricted.
However, after pondering for a moment, she called two of her trusted aides over.
The next day, the Third Prince’s residence was in chaos.
“What should we do? What should he do? The moment the divine doctor left, the Third Prince fell ill. The Imperial Academy of Medicine can’t even determine the cause of Third Highness’ illness.” The butler of the Third Prince’s mansion was really anxious as he paced back and forth.
“Steward, even the imperial physician doesn’t know what happened to the Third Prince when he woke up. We should inform the divine doctor Wu Yazi to come back as soon as possible!” Someone suggested,” If anything happens to the Third Prince, ah, touch wood, nothing will happen to His Highness. However, Butler, it’s better to be safe than sorry!”
The servants chimed in,” The Third Prince is a good friend of Miracle Doctor Wu Yazi. He can’t possibly leave the Third Prince in the lurch, can he?”
“However, I heard that the divine doctor is the master of Princess Gu. Princess Gu went to the Black Clouds Kingdom and accompanied her to the Black Clouds Kingdom.”
“In that case, would the divine doctor leave our Third Prince in the lurch for the sake of the princess?”
“But he can’t just leave the princess of Guguo in danger, right?”
..
These people surrounded the butler and chattered.
The butler roared,” Enough, what are you all standing here for? Hurry up and get to work. If you don’t, I’ll deduct your salary!”
With that, he walked away.
But there was a kind of determination in his eyes!
