Chapter 345: Incident

The guards cried out in surprise, and the leader of the guards shouted in dissatisfaction, ordering them to search the area around Gu's mansion and inside the courtyard carefully. He specifically asked them to keep the noise down, notify their companions when they found the target, and remember not to be greedy for success and linger in the battle.

Xia Daohua was listening in the space, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

If they found that there were suddenly three more people in Gu Mingzhen’s bedroom, I wonder what their expressions would be?

The guards searched for a while, then quieted down and returned to their respective posts.

Xia Daohua manipulated the space and quietly slipped back into Gu Mingzhen's bedroom, staring at Gu Mingzhen face to face.

Gu Mingzhen and the two emperors had already recognized each other at this time.

When the real emperor saw Gu Mingzhen, he burst into tears. He hugged him and cried, telling him about his grievances.

The fake emperor, however, looked disapproving, with his lips curled, his eyelids rolled up, and snorting continuously, his face full of disgust and contempt.

He was not interested in the throne, but was very interested in how to make the Gu family's throne disappear. After holding back for a few minutes, he was already very impatient and finally couldn't control his temper:

"My brother trusts you and dares to tell you anything. However, this is also an opportunity. As long as we two die here today, the throne will be yours. What do you think? Are you tempted?"

The crying emperor hiccupped upon hearing this, and could no longer cry. He roared, "Are you crazy?"

The fake emperor didn't care: "Ever since the day my mother locked me up in the dark underground, I have gone crazy!"

Xia Daohua lost interest after listening for a while, but considering that if Gu Mingzhen wanted to take action against her and want to kill her to silence her, she couldn't be too passive, because it would be bad if she was lazy and was kept in the dark. So she secretly hid a bug on the antique shelf.

After hiding the bug and making sure the recording function was on, she manipulated the space to leave the Gu Mansion and left under the cover of night.

I just got home and as soon as I pushed open the gate, I found that something seemed wrong with the house.

The gate to the yard was not locked.

Not only was the light in every room dark, but it was also quiet without a single sound of human voice.

If everyone is asleep, there should at least be some breathing and snoring sounds, right?

How could it be so quiet?

Besides, there are so many animals at home. Even if the people are silent, how could the animals not make any noise?

Could it be that this was robbed?

Xia Daohua's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

After all, she was not familiar with the capital. She saw that everything at home was on track and everyone was working together to live a good life. How could such a change suddenly happen?

Gu Mingzhen has just taken over two emperors, one real and one fake, and is in a very troubled situation. It is not very convenient for me to go to him now!

Xia Daohua walked forward hurriedly, all kinds of thoughts running rapidly in her mind. She pulled out a high-powered flashlight from the space and shone it around the yard - there was no ambush.

Xia Daohua glanced at the barn, where animals of all sizes had fallen to the ground. She didn't look closely, wondering if they were dead or had been drugged and knocked unconscious.

The door of the room was wide open and swaying. For some reason, it made people feel a little creepy.

Xia Daohua bit her lip, turned on a strong flashlight, and walked slowly into the room where the old couple of the Xia family lived with slightly trembling steps.

She held a flashlight in one hand and an electric baton in the other.

There was no one in the room either.

But there was nothing missing in the house. There was half a cup of tea on the table, still emitting a slight steam, and the bedding on the kang was still spread out, but it was all messy.
