When Yue Haoyun heard this, his eyes turned bloodshot, as if he was suppressing his anger.
He was silent for a moment, his eyes flashing as he asked, "What else do you know about the late emperor being seriously ill and being under house arrest?"
Zhou Dagan lowered his eyes and said, "Because Master only told me these things when he was dying, he only told me a limited amount. As for the rest, I don't know."
"Besides, I wasn't serving the late emperor at the time. I was only responsible for menial tasks like guarding the gate, so my knowledge is limited."
Yue Haoyun nodded, "Okay, if you remember anything else, tell me."
Zhou Dagan looked at Yue Haoyun steadily, his eyes clear, "I will definitely do that."
…
At the hour of You, the sun has slowly set and the weather is not so hot anymore.
Xia Miaoyuan sat under the willow tree in the yard, leisurely drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup.
At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound.
Xia Miaoyuan looked closely and found that it was the golden tiger that jumped in from outside and went straight to the room where the second prince lived.
[It's Jin Hu! Judging from the looks of it, there must be some news!]
Xia Miaoyuan thought about it, put the sour plum soup aside, and followed him into the second prince's room.
Jin Hu was standing in front of the Second Prince and reporting. When the two of them saw Xia Miaoyuan pushing the door in, they were not surprised at all, and Jin Hu did not stop telling the story.
The silver leopard guarding the door closed it quickly.
Xia Miaoyuan quickly found a place to sit down and listened attentively.
Jin Hu then vividly recounted, "This is truly incredible! Today, the legitimate Madam Han sent her servants to search the streets for Jiang!"
The eyes of the Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan both lit up.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Jin Hu said happily, "I heard from the secret guards that Madam Han's trusted nanny went to the Golden Building today to pick up a set of custom-made jewelry."
"As a result, the new boy made a mistake and gave the jewelry that Jiang had ordered from them to that maid."
"So, when the Jiang mother and daughter go shopping, they always put the bill under Lord Han's name, so it's no wonder that the clerk made a mistake."
Xia Miaoyuan's gossipy heart flew into a frenzy when he heard this. [Wow, the exciting drama has begun! The wife discovered the existence of the mistress! Hahahaha, even more shocking is that this mistress is actually an old woman who is several years older than the wife!]
Jin Hu's voice continued, "Because of this piece of jewelry, the existence of Jiang's concubine was discovered by Madam Han."
"Because Jiang and Yao Jinse lived in one of Han Lie's villas, Madam Han found out in no time."
"Mrs. Han had just experienced the pain of losing her son when she discovered Han Lie had a mistress. She was immediately furious and didn't care about anything."
"Look, he immediately brought his servants to the other courtyard to arrest someone."
"What a coincidence! Today, Jiang's mother and daughter went shopping and haven't returned home yet. That's why Madam Han didn't catch Jiang."
The Second Prince hurriedly asked, "What happened to Madam Han? Did she return home?"
Jin Hu shook his head. "No, I heard that Madam Han was really pissed off and is now waiting in the other courtyard for Jiang to return home!"
"Besides, she also sent a lot of servants to search the streets for Jiang!"
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help laughing out loud. The second prince was infected by his sister's laughter. He couldn't hold back his laughter for a long time and burst out laughing.
A mouthful of tea sprayed onto the ground.
The golden tiger and the silver leopard also burst into laughter.
"Second brother, there is a high possibility that Old Lady Jiang will be severely beaten by the eldest wife today!" Xia Miaoyuan said seriously.
The Second Prince wiped the water stains from his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Miao'er's analysis makes sense."
Xia Miaoyuan's mind raced. "I really want to be there and watch the drama unfold! Jiang must be utterly mortified. She's the empress dowager of a nation, used to being admired, and now she's suddenly become a hated concubine. Ugh!"
The second prince was awakened when he heard his sister's thoughts, and an idea quickly flashed through his mind.
He quickly picked up Xia Miaoyuan and said, "Come on, second brother will take you to see the fun!"
Having said that, he took the golden tiger and the silver leopard and walked out.
Xia Miaoyuan scratched his head, somewhat confused. "No way, how could Second Brother be more gossipy than me? Is this a blast to watch?"
They boarded a carriage and headed for the downtown area. Halfway through, a secret guard arrived to report that Jiang was sitting with Nanny in a private room at the Jinyu Tower.
It turned out that after Madam Han came to the house to question her, a clever servant immediately ran out from the corner gate and informed Jiang and Yao Jinse who were shopping.
The mother and daughter were shocked. After all, their identities were still secret. If they were to be exposed at this time, they would be in big trouble.
The mother and daughter hid in the private room, not daring to go out. Later, they heard from the servant that Madam Han was waiting there and refused to leave, so they became anxious.
Yao Jinse went to look for Han Lie, while Jiang continued to hide in the private room with the nanny.
After hearing this, the Second Prince clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go to the Jinyu Tower now!"
After saying that, the carriage drove towards the Jinyu Tower.
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't understand the Second Prince anymore and murmured, "Second brother, is this okay?"
The Second Prince looked at his sister lovingly, "Just wait and see what Second Brother has up his sleeve!"
Xia Miaoyuan became even more confused.
Before long, the carriage stopped downstairs of Jinyu Tower.
The second prince specifically requested a private room next to Jiang's.
After the tea and snacks were served, Jin Hu closed the door.
Several people stood quietly by the window and could hear a woman's voice coming from the window next door.
"Madam, why don't we not go back home today and find an inn to stay in."
"Wait a little longer, until Jinse comes back."
Xia Miaoyuan listened carefully and found that it was indeed Jiang's voice.
The second prince walked to the nearest window, took a deep breath, and jumped over.
"Second brother!" Xia Miaoyuan screamed in surprise.
[Ahhh! What's going on? Why did my second brother end up at Old Lady Jiang's place?]
I only heard two screams from next door.
However, the exclamation stopped abruptly as soon as it was shouted.
In Jiang's private room.
The maid who served her fell to the ground. Jiang covered her mouth and looked at the Second Prince in horror.
As soon as the second prince jumped in, he knocked the nanny unconscious as quickly as possible and made a gesture to Jiang to keep quiet.
The Second Prince stopped and looked at Jiang with a smile, "Are you okay? Grandma!"
The three words "Grandma Huang" were spoken word by word, as if carrying a special meaning.
A flash of panic and embarrassment flashed across Jiang's face, but the panic faded in an instant. She changed her tone to a stern one and asked, "Who is this young man? Why did he suddenly jump into my private room and knock my maid unconscious?"
"I don't know you, young master. You are being unreasonable!"
The Second Prince raised his head and smiled, "Grandma, is there any need to pretend?"
"It's no secret that you escaped to Dai Viet with the Dai Viet delegation. Father and I knew about it long ago."
