Chapter 476 The Place Where She Was Bring Back by Her Father
When Shen Zhao rushed to Lu's study, the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
Li Yuwan, who shouldn't have been in Lu's study, suddenly rushed out.
He grabbed Shen Zhao's arm.
"My mother and sister Zhao Zhao are both missing. They are both gone."
At this moment, the look in Li Yuwan's eyes became visibly panicked.
Shen Zhao's heart also skipped a beat.
The Ninth Prince was taken away by the Loyal Prince.
Now even Feng Li and Chu Mu have been abducted?
What on earth do those people want to do!
[What should I do? What should I do? I have no idea what the next plot will be. The system told me that because I often break the rules, I will be punished by not knowing the next plot direction for ten days.]
"I clearly didn't do or say anything, so why does this damn system say I broke the rules and revealed plot information to the people of this world?!"
Shen Zhao listened to Li Yuwan's thoughts, and she seemed to know why Li Yuwan was punished.
Because she could hear Li Yuwan's thoughts, she indirectly led Li Yuwan to reveal the plot.
"The Ninth Prince is missing too!"
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, the old emperor immediately stood up from his chair.
"Are you saying that Lao Jiu was also kidnapped?"
Shen Zhao nodded heavily.
"The Ninth Prince was abducted by the Loyalty Prince. As far as I know, the Loyalty Prince intends to hand the Ninth Prince over to the Xuanyuan clan's men."
At this time, Duke Xie, who had just finished recognizing his relatives, came to the study with everyone in the Xie family to express his gratitude for the emperor's grace.
I happened to hear Shen Zhao say that Prince Zhongyi had kidnapped Prince Jiu.
Moreover, King Zhongyi has connections with the Xuanyuan clan.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to them.
Duke Xie hurriedly walked closer to Shen Zhao.
"Chu Mu, is your source of information reliable? Is it true that my father-in-law kidnapped the Ninth Prince?"
Xie Yuheng also rushed out.
This is the first time I doubt what Brother Chu said.
"Brother Chu, someone deliberately deceived you to frame my grandfather."
"My grandfather has long since stopped caring about state affairs. He lives alone in the Zhongyi Palace every day, living like a hermit."
"Why did he kidnap the Ninth Prince?"
"I don't believe that my grandfather has any connection with the Xuanyuan clan, and I even less believe that he would betray His Majesty."
Not to mention Xie Yuheng, even the old emperor didn't believe it.
After all, it was Prince Zhongyi who made a lot of efforts for him to sit firmly on the throne and maintain the stability of the government.
In fact, even Shen Zhao didn't believe that the righteous old man would do such a thing.
But that guard was the Ninth Prince's personal bodyguard and would never lie to her.
At this moment, a voice came into Shen Zhao's mind.
[Is it true that Father can't let go of that person?]
Shen Zhao turned abruptly and looked at Lady Xie.
The voice just now came from the wife of Duke Xie.
She seemed to know something.
And she was not surprised at all that Prince Zhongyi had kidnapped Prince Ninth, as if she had already expected it.
Shen Zhao could not see any clues from the calm face of Lady Xie, as if the voice just now did not exist.
However, facing the accusations against her father, Lady Xie acted too calmly.
Shen Zhao tried to say:
"I didn't believe it at first, but I heard that the reason King Zhongyi did this was because of one person."
Shen Zhao had been observing the expression of Lady Xie, Duke of Xie, out of the corner of his eye.
But when she said this, a trace of fluctuation finally appeared on the calm face of Lady Xie.
[I often hear Heng'er mention how knowledgeable and powerful his brother Chu is, and how there is nothing his brother Chu doesn't know.]
[Could it be that Chu Mu really knew that his father was always thinking about the Queen Mother?]
Isn’t the Empress Dowager’s family that Lady Xie mentioned the biological mother of her grandmother, the old emperor, and the Ninth Prince?
Shen Zhao was momentarily flustered.
"But how is this possible? Outsiders cannot possibly know the secrets hidden deep within my father."
Even I only realized who my father truly loved when I accidentally saw the painting in his study that he had always cherished like a treasure, the one depicting the Empress Dowager.
[My mother once went crazy and tried to tear up the portrait, and was nearly divorced by my father.]
[This caused my mother to be unhappy all day long. Later, she shaved her head and became a monk, always accompanying the ancient Buddha with green lamps and no longer caring about the mundane world.]
[He is still practicing in the Jokhang Temple.]
Chen Zhao had always thought that Princess Zhongyi had passed away long ago, but it turned out that she was practicing in a Buddhist temple.
But why does this Jokhang Temple sound so familiar?
"Jokhang Temple...Jokhang Temple..."
Chen Zhao murmured softly twice, and she finally understood why this Jokhang Temple sounded so familiar.
This was because the eldest daughter of the Shen family, whom her father had taken in to replace, had sought medical treatment at the Jokhang Temple and had stayed there for several months.
When her father returned home with the baby girl again, Shen Zhao became her.
It seemed as if something was calling her to go to the Jokhang Temple.
She had never set foot in the Jokhang Temple during these days because she thought the child might have died.
Now when he heard about the Jokhang Temple again, Shen Zhao felt a little bit of a bond in his heart.
Before going to Yunlong Villa, she wanted to go to the Jokhang Temple.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
She wanted to learn from Princess Zhongyi about the dispute between Prince Zhongyi and her grandmother.
Only in this way could she analyze whether the Ninth Prince's life was in danger at the hands of the Loyal Prince.
Do what you think.
"I have come to the palace this time to ask for permission from His Majesty to go to Yunlong Villa in Yangcheng to rescue the Ninth Prince and Pang Yunjin."
"Before this, I wanted to visit an elder at the Jokhang Temple."
Shen Zhao had been keeping an eye on Lady Xie, and when she heard her mention going to the Jokhang Temple, Lady Xie finally showed signs of nervousness in her eyes.
【Chu Mu really knows everything! 】
[Is he going to visit his mother? ]
My mother was deeply hurt by my father. I don't want anyone to disturb her peace.
[But how can we stop Chu Mu from going? ]
Lady Xie was still thinking of a countermeasure when she heard Xie Yuheng say:
"I also ask Your Majesty to allow me to go to Yunlong Villa with Prince Zhong. I want to know the truth behind the Ninth Prince's abduction and whether it is related to my grandfather."
Xie Yuheng was very conflicted. He admired his grandfather very much because his temperament was most similar to his grandfather's.
His grandfather also loved him the most.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how big a disaster he got into, his grandfather always supported him.
He didn't believe that his grandfather, who was considered the bravest and best man in the world, could be a bad person.
"no!"
"no!"
Shen Zhao and the old emperor spoke at the same time to stop him.
A look of hurt flashed in Xie Yuheng's eyes. He could understand why the emperor stopped him.
But why did Brother Chu also want to stop him?
“Brother Chu…”
"Xie Yuheng's trip this time is extremely dangerous. You and I are both commanders of the Jingzhong Camp. If something happens to us, what will the Jingzhong Camp do?"
"Now all forces are ready to make a move. If you still consider yourself a soldier, then stay in Kyoto."
Xie Yuheng is the old emperor's biological son, which is unknown to outsiders, but she is not sure whether the Xuanyuan family will know it.
She didn't dare take the risk of letting Xie Yuheng go with her.
The old emperor assigned a team of people to follow Shen Zhao to Yangcheng.
Before leaving, Shen Zhao went to the gambling house, the Jinyu Building, and the Wanzhong Auction House, and gathered the Ninth Prince's men to go together.
