Chapter 288: Love, then you have to let go
After dinner, the people sent to look for Yao Bier also came back.
They learned from Yao Bier's mother and brother that Yao Bier did not come to Nanny Lin to be a servant, but left with a man who seemed to have an extraordinary status.
The private soldiers took Yuan Gu's portrait and went to ask, but the man was not Yuan Gu.
Yes, Yuan Gu has always been cautious in doing things, it is impossible for him to show up in person and leave such a big loophole.
Whether the missing Yao Bier is alive or dead remains a mystery.
Li Tianzhuo had someone draw a portrait based on Yao's mother's memory and conduct a careful search. As long as the person who took her away was found, her whereabouts would naturally come to light.
Just like Yao Bier, Uncle Gui's entire family is also missing.
There were seven people in his family, including men, women, young and old. The oldest was his old wife and the youngest was his newborn grandson, all of whom were missing.
I heard from the neighbors in the village that he also left with someone, and those people were using the name of King Changle.
When Li Tianzhuo learned about this, he was furious.
The Yuan family is so bold that they even dare to use his identity.
He didn't trust so many people when looking for someone with the same portrait, because he didn't have any clues at all.
Li Tianzhuo pinched his brows tiredly.
Yuan Gu and the Yuan family are quite capable!
Apart from the interrogation of Min Nanqiu and the other two this morning, Li Tianzhuo had hardly seen Deng Youning for the entire day.
At this time, Deng Youning was still chattering about Deng Yan'an to let herself stay in Nanxin.
"Cousin, if I don't stay, and what happened to Min Nanqiu happens again yesterday, how will you let Ah Zhuo deal with it alone?"
"Fortunately, Tian Zhuo was given He Huan San yesterday. If they had given you a similar drug someday, you would have no place to regret it."
"Cousin, don't you know my strength? I am immune to all poisons!"
"Stop talking. If you still want to recognize me as your cousin, come back to Dongji with me in a few days!"
The quarrel between the brother and sister ended up with Deng Yan'an even using his status as a brother to block her.
Since Deng Yan'an had said this, Deng Youning could no longer say anything to him.
She looked at Deng Yan'an's back as he started to pack his luggage, and stood there for a long time, feeling mixed emotions.
She knew that her brother was doing this for her own good, but she also had someone she was thinking about!
Just now, Li Tianzhuo, who was about to knock on the door to come in, also listened to the conversation between the brother and sister.
Looking at Deng Youning's bewildered figure inside the door, Li Tianzhuo dropped his hand heavily when he was about to knock on the door.
She really shouldn't abandon everything in Dongji and follow me without any status and in danger.
In Dongji, she is the most dazzling princess and the patron saint of the people.
But in Nanxin, she is a thorn in everyone's side and a mortal enemy that the entire Nanxin royal family wants to get rid of as soon as possible.
If she stayed, there would be unlimited risks.
Li Tianzhuo's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly because of his forbearance.
In his two lives, he had clearly experienced much greater pain, but the heartache at this moment was the worst of all his pains.
The feeling of being pierced by thousands of arrows was not that in the previous life, when I learned of Ningning's death, my hair turned white overnight while holding her body.
Li Tianzhuo covered his heart, and a crystal clear tear slid down his handsome face.
Love means letting go!
He felt his breathing was a little blocked, and after a long sigh, he quickly left.
They drank until late at night again, and almost all the wine stored in the house was in his room.
He had to attend court the next day, so he almost didn't sleep all night.
For him, these drinks can actually make his mind clearer.
*
Early in the morning, in order to hide the smell of alcohol on his body, he took a shower and changed his clothes.
When he went to court, Deng Youning also woke up.
Knowing that today was a crucial day, she went to the door to see him off and tidied his clothes.
I was surprised to find that many white hairs had grown among his originally black hair.
It clearly wasn't there a few days ago.
And for some reason, she always felt that the look in Azhuo's eyes this morning was a little strange, like reluctance to part, and a kind of helpless bitterness.
Deng Youning didn't understand and was about to ask when Li Tianzhuo left in a hurry.
"Miss, why do I feel like the master has done something to offend you today and is deliberately avoiding you?"
Ying Shi, who was standing by, also noticed something was wrong and was busy explaining it to her young lady.
"He drank again last night and was afraid that I would find out and scold him."
The smell of alcohol was so strong that no matter how much aromatherapy was used, it could not escape Deng Youning's keen nose.
Ying Shi nodded, not quite understanding.
Deng Youning didn't care too much.
Today, she still has to continue to persuade Deng Yan'an to let her stay.
Li Tianzhuo sat in a carriage and drove towards the palace.
"Xiu Ming, have you made contact with the Yihongyuan that I asked you to help me contact last night?" Li Tianzhuo asked calmly.
Xiu Ming pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness is not a lecherous person. What is the point of doing this?"
"If you want to hold a banquet to meet Nanny Lin and her people, you can just hold it at an ordinary restaurant."
Li Tianzhuo asked Nanny Lin to introduce him to a few shop owners who were doing underground business. Tonight, he wanted to hold a banquet to meet them and see if he could recruit them as his subordinates.
They could have discussed the matter in any restaurant, but Prince Changle wanted to go to a place like Yihongyuan.
This put Xiu Ming, who was in charge of running errands, in a very difficult position.
You know, he has lived for more than 20 years, and except for Li Qinghuan's Wuyinglou, he has never been to any other brothels.
"Do whatever I tell you to do. Are you the master, or am I the master?"
Li Tianzhuo was in a bad mood and treated everyone equally.
Even Xiu Ming, who had never really been angry with him, was bullied by him.
Xiu Ming stopped talking with a wronged look on his face.
If he knew who offended his master, he would definitely beat and scold that person!
Nanny Lin and Min Nanqiu sat in the carriage at the back and followed them to the palace.
Following Prince Changle into the palace, Nanny Lin had never thought in her life that one day she would be able to enter the palace, meet the emperor, and even see the civil and military officials attending court.
She was happy all the way.
Min Nanqiu had a sullen face the whole time. After today, she would definitely die. She only hoped that King Changle would keep his promise and let her family go.
Li Tianzhuo went in to attend the court. She, Xiu Ming, and several palace guards waited outside the palace, ready to be summoned at any time.
After the ministers had finished reporting what they were going to report one by one, Li Tianzhuo talked about his own matter.
Upon learning that his son had been poisoned, Emperor Nan Xin was almost heartbroken.
But fortunately, nothing happened.
"Considering the identity of the person who poisoned me, I don't know how to deal with him, so I came to ask my father and all the adults to help me solve the case."
Li Tianzhuo bowed to Emperor Nan Xin, turned around and glanced at all the civil and military officials present.
Lord Min and Marquis Yuan both started to look unnatural.
"Tian'er, you've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't told me who the person who drugged you is?"
The emperor asked anxiously.
Many ministers who did not know the details were also extremely curious about this.
"That person is none other than the daughter of Minister Min, the eldest daughter of the Min family, Min Nanqiu!"
