The capital city is so big. Chu Huaifeng and Su Jinrou escaped from the Forbidden City in the past two days, and the entire city was filled with imperial guards conducting a strict investigation.
Now, a whole night has passed since the little daughter was kidnapped yesterday. Chu Huaiyu has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison, and Chu Huaifeng has disappeared.
But Su Jinrou...
Meng Jiuan glanced at his friend, sat up, reached out to pick up the new clothes that had been prepared on the side and put them on.
The man's muscular chest and broad back were covered with scars.
Just as Li Shengyi said, these are the medals of honor he has accumulated over the years.
"Chu Huaifeng is not as simple as we imagined. Although he is the most inconspicuous person in the palace, he has been keeping a low profile for many years."
"He was able to escape from us this time. He must have connections in the Royal Guards protecting him."
"Yuan Qing, do you know where Su Jinrou was when my people found her yesterday?"
Since he had a little daughter by his side and could hear her voice, Meng Jiuan's temperament has changed a lot.
Even the affectionate name that was used to address Su Jinrou was changed to her full name.
And the look in those dog-like eyes was no longer the same as before. Now when he mentioned Su Jinrou, there was only indifference in his eyes.
Qin Songmo shook his head, "Didn't she go with Chu Huaifeng?"
"How could that be possible?" Meng Jiuan smiled. "She was fooled by our good daughter."
"When my people found her, they saw that she was surrounded by a group of big men and she almost lost her life."
"When she saw my people, she knelt down and begged for help. She didn't even have time to show the same momentum she once had."
Once his love for Su Jinrou faded from his heart, Meng Jiuan discovered that this person was not as good as he had imagined.
Thinking about how he had been devoted to her before and how he almost fell out with his best friend because of her, she was not only ungrateful but also never took him seriously.
At that time, Su Jinrou would feel disdainful even to look at him for one more moment.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips as he picked up his outer robe and put it on. "She wasn't sent to the palace yet. Before she passed out, she insisted on seeing you. She said she had something to tell you."
"Yuan Qing, do you want to go see her?"
Qin Songmo frowned slightly, "Why would I want to see her? Hasn't she already instigated enough?"
Meng Jiuan raised his eyebrows, "That's right, she almost caused you and me to become enemies."
"Don't take me with you, you're stupid."
Qin Songmo picked up the teacup at hand, without even raising his head, blew the tea cool and took a sip.
Faced with his friend's ruthless exposure of him, Meng Jiuan curled his lips and did not complain.
You have to know that Qin Songmo was not like this before. He was gloomy and aloof, and would do anything to achieve his goals.
Ever since his youngest daughter came, his temper has improved a lot and he even talks more.
Seeing his changes, Meng Jiuan felt relieved after years of worry.
Over the years, there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of doctors and imperial physicians who have diagnosed Qin Songmo's pulse.
Every doctor and imperial physician said that although he was weak, he was not seriously ill.
The reason why he was coughing up blood and his health was getting worse was because he had an illness in his heart.
If this inner problem cannot be cured, I am afraid I will not live past the age of thirty.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, and Qin Songmo would be 29 after the New Year. Fortunately, God did not kill him, and the arrival of Chengyi saved him and also saved himself.
Therefore, after Qin Songmo said that he was stupid, Meng Jiuan was not angry, but instead raised the corners of his lips and came to Shen Wangchen.
Looking at the baby face in front of him, he curled the corners of his lips and said, "Tell me, if I go into the palace now and kill that bastard emperor, will this kid stab me to death when he wakes up?"
Qin Songmo shook his head, but before he could speak, he heard a hoarse response from inside the room.
"Yes."
Shen Wangchen, who had not had a good rest for several days and had been on the road, met Chu Huaiyu's forces at dawn.
The two sides continued to fight and many people were injured.
It was obvious that the other party came prepared. They recognized the leader Shen Wangchen and brought people to target him specifically.
After a few rounds, by the time Meng Jiuan and his men arrived at the scene, the man was almost dying.
Although targeted by the enemy, Shen Wangchen was not fatally injured.
Instead, the running around in recent days had exhausted all his energy. After Meng Jiuan arrived, he closed his eyes and fainted on the ground.
Shen Wangchen, who had almost rested, heard Meng Jiuan say these words in front of him when he just regained consciousness.
He opened his eyes and stared at the man in front of him, "That man's head is mine."
The Prime Minister's staff and the National Defense General all want to take the head of the current emperor of the Great Chu.
Meng Jiuan glanced at him and sneered, "For someone like you, I'm afraid you'll be caught and beheaded as soon as you enter the palace, right?"
Shen Wangchen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
After getting up, he felt something strange in his body. He lowered his eyes to look at the bandages wrapped around his body, turned his head to look at Meng Jiuan, thanked the latter, and then looked up at Qin Songmo who was sitting in the upper seat.
"Master, the person has been brought here. Master promised Wangchen..."
Qin Songmo raised his eyelids and opened his thin lips, "Don't worry, the prince has set up a plan. Now that you are awake, come with me to the palace."
His tone was light, as if he was saying that today's tea was good.
When Shen Wangchen heard that he was going to take him into the palace, he didn't even care about his injuries. He stood up suddenly and accidentally pulled the wound, and he suddenly bared his teeth.
Even so, he still clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, sir."
-
The late emperor lived a long life. When Qin Songmo was young and was granted the title of marquis and appointed as prime minister, he also stayed with the late emperor for three or two years.
Later, the former emperor passed away and the current Majesty ascended the throne, but the prosperous Chu State was almost defeated by him.
The people were boiling with resentment, but he seemed to have lost his eyes and could not see anything.
If the Crown Prince had not loved the people like his own children, and if Qin Songmo had not been in the Great Chu, the entire Great Chu would have been defeated by His Majesty long ago.
Chu Hong's health has been getting worse in recent days, and he has become more and more dependent on the miracle medicine. At the beginning, he could go without the medicine for two or three days and still be in good spirits.
Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with taking one miracle medicine every two or three days, and changed it to taking one medicine a day. He also asked the miracle doctor to quickly develop more miracle medicines and opened a miracle medicine shop in the palace specifically for the miracle doctor.
Chu Hong also knew that Chu Huaifeng and Su Jinrou had escaped from the palace in succession in the past two days.
While he was furious, he immediately sent more people and issued an order that even if every bluestone slab in the streets and alleys of the capital had to be lifted up, the person must be found and brought to him.
He wanted to kill the couple himself.
However, before the Royal Guards found Chu Huaifeng and the other two, he was lying in his bedroom recuperating when another group of people arrived.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and General Jiang request an audience."
Eunuch Fulu bent over and stood beside the dragon bed, with a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at His Majesty lying on the dragon bed.
