Chapter 120: The Uncertain Life and Death of the Sixth Prince Nanxin
Anyway, apart from his words, they couldn't find any other evidence.
"Yes, as you thought, the Wu family did collude with Nanxin. At that time, Emperor Nanxin bribed Wu Taifu and proved that his elder brother, the former crown prince, had colluded with Wu Taifu to commit treason, which allowed him to ascend the throne. Therefore, the Wu family has a deep connection with the Nanxin royal family."
"Emperor Nanxin's most beloved youngest son, the Sixth Prince Changle, is the one who secretly helps the Wu family!"
Mr. Ge randomly found a Prince Nanxin and pinned the crime on him, thinking that Deng Youning knew nothing.
“Nonsense!”
If I hadn't heard Li Qinghuan's story about Chunlan yesterday, I would have been fooled by this liar.
"Don't think I don't know. Prince Changle disappeared five years ago and his whereabouts remain unknown!"
"Tell me, besides your Yunqi Platform, what else do Si Wang and the Wu family do?"
Deng Youning asked angrily.
"It's gone, it's gone, it's really gone. Even if it exists, I'm not worthy of knowing it with my status!"
Even Ge Ye was trembling with fear. Deng Youning let him go. "You are not worthy of knowing, considering your status."
In less than two cups of tea, Li Qinghuan and Jun Chenyi arrived.
After Deng Youning briefly explained the situation to them, Li Tianzhuo led the Silver Dragon Guards and rushed in.
He had originally sent Jiang Yuan and his men to ambush nearby, making full preparations to arrest people on the spot and close the store.
When the Silver Dragon Guards rushed into the inner courtyard of the Qi Yuntai, those children of the noble families who were still enjoying torturing others did not realize what was happening.
As they were taken out of the room one by one and forced to kneel in the hall, a few of them relied on their status and kept cursing at Li Tianzhuo.
"Li Tianzhuo, you are a dog under the emperor, do you know who I am? Do you dare to touch me if you know who my father is?"
"Li Tianzhuo, we are just here to have fun. What's wrong with that? It's not like we didn't pay!"
"Li Tianzhuo, I can give you whatever you want, any amount of silver is fine, as long as you let me go today. Otherwise, I will ask my father to report you at the court tomorrow morning."
Li Tianzhuo didn't bother to say anything more and dragged them all away and took them back to the Silver Dragon Guard prison.
Are you still trying to report him?
I’m afraid that this young man’s father will also be dismissed and investigated!
"Jiang Yuan, Xiu Ming hasn't come back yet. Please pay more attention to the things here." Li Tianzhuo instructed.
Since the trip to the Crazy Lion Village, Xiu Ming and Ying Shi were seriously injured and stayed in Bianyang County with Mu Hao to recuperate.
It's been less than a month, so they won't come back so soon.
"Don't worry, sir!" Jiang Yuan bowed.
"Azhuo, these are other things that my cousin, sister Huan'er, and I found while you were away. Maybe they can be of some use."
Deng Youning brought a small stack of books, pamphlets, and letters and handed them all to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan failed to catch it and it almost fell all over the floor.
"Thank you for your help."
Li Tianzhuo simply thanked him and gave the order:
"Silver Dragon Guards, listen up! Search carefully to see if there are any other clues!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Deng Youning with longing. He had to go to the palace to report the matter to the emperor, and he didn't know when he would be done.
"Ningning, I have to go to the palace to present this to His Majesty. You go back to the Duke's Mansion and wait for news. I..."
Before he finished speaking, Deng Youning rushed to say, "Go and get busy. I have Sister Huan'er here to accompany me."
"Let's follow the Silver Dragon Guards and take these poor people back. We'll hire some doctors to bandage their wounds."
Those young boys and girls, who had been tortured until there was not a single piece of good flesh left on their bodies, huddled in a corner in a trance, looking horrible to behold.
If he is not treated quickly, he will surely die.
"Okay, then I'll leave these people to you. Thank you."
Li Tianzhuo politely bowed to them, looked into Deng Youning's bright eyes and smiled brilliantly.
Deng Youning and Li Qinghuan went to work.
Li Tianzhuo seemed to have thought of something and went to Ge Ye's room again.
He was surprised to find that the totem of Nanxin Dayun Golden Crow on the bookshelf had been cut off with a knife.
For some reason, the first person he thought of was Deng Youning who had stayed in the room.
Could it be that she has noticed something? !
Li Tianzhuo was a little panicked.
Just as his thoughts were churning with nervousness, Jun Chenyi patted his shoulder, scaring him so much that his soul almost flew away.
"What's wrong?"
"Uneasy?"
"Are you attracted to any of the girls here?"
"I'm warning you. I can see that Ningning's heart is devoted to you right now. Don't do anything to let her down, or I will not forgive you!"
Jun Chenyi was ready to scare him.
When he saw Li Tianzhuo going upstairs just now, he followed curiously to see what was going on.
"What is your Highness talking about? I'm just trying to find some clues to see if I can convict the Wu family."
Li Tianzhuo made up a random excuse.
He was also drunk. How could Jun Chenyi have so many ideas? !
After going downstairs, Li Tianzhuo glanced at Deng Youning who was bandaging a girl, and felt mixed emotions.
There were some things he didn't mean to hide from her, but he just didn't want to mention them.
If possible, he really only wanted to be the commander of the Dongji Silver Dragon Guard and always be the Li Tianzhuo he is now.
"Ningning, you have such a virtuous side."
Li Qinghuan saw how Deng Youning took care of the people and felt that she was very good at taking care of people.
"If you and Lord Li didn't have a mutual understanding, I would definitely introduce you to my sixth cousin. He is my favorite person in that family."
"When I left, he was only two years old. As a child, he always got hurt and refused to take medicine..."
Li Qinghuan must have been reminded of the scene when he bandaged his cousin, Prince Changle, when he was a child.
Deng Youning didn't respond and let her talk on.
It is impossible for her not to know that Prince Changle had disappeared a long time ago. She has not been able to find him for so many years. She probably thinks Prince Changle is in great danger.
Li Tianzhuo called Jun Chenyi and asked him to go into the palace with him to report the matter.
On that day, Deng Youning and Li Qinghuan helped to bandage and apply medicine to the victims, and they were busy until very late before going home.
When Deng Youning was about to leave, Li Tianzhuo also returned to the Silver Dragon Guard.
He was still wearing his official uniform, so he must have just returned from the palace.
"It's so late..."
They both said this in unison.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and ambiguous.
"You go first..."
Another unanimous voice.
Deng Youning couldn't help but laugh. She felt like she and Li Tianzhuo were almost sharing the same brain!
"You just came back. Is the emperor making things difficult for you?" Deng Youning asked worriedly.
Li Tianzhuo smiled and shook his head, "No, good news, His Majesty said that your wedding with Wu Yanei will be postponed, and he has the final say on when to set the date."
But Deng Youning felt that this was both good news and not good news.
The marriage is still in the hands of the emperor. It will be a problem sooner or later, and she will never be free.
"Tell me quickly, what happened?" Deng Youning asked anxiously.
"No hurry, I'll take you home and we'll talk as we walk."
Li Tianzhuo took the lantern from Deng Youning and walked side by side with her.
After uncovering those who have been to the Qi Yuntai, the Dongji court is about to face a bloody storm.
Although there was no evidence pointing to the prince, the emperor already had a plan in mind.
He has a total of seventeen children, and the only one who can do such a thing is the prince!
