Chapter 661: It's Your Own Sowing
After Wei Qing came back, he went straight to the room, looked at his wife, and hugged her in his arms.
His face felt a little cool, and he pressed it against her warm little face to tease her.
In the past, Tangli would always get so angry that he would pull his flesh, but this time, there was no reaction at all.
Wei Qing realized what had happened and asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Tang Li told Yu Niang that someone had captured her son and threatened her to poison the two babies.
Wei Qing gnashed his teeth in anger.
Someone actually wanted to harm his two little babies!
"I think it's Princess Anyue." Tang Li said.
"Since someone is seeking death, I will fulfill her wish. Wife, I will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Wei Qing said.
Wei Qing took over the matter with two goals: to rescue Yu Niang's son and to make the person behind the scenes get what he deserves!
Wei Qing assigned more people to follow Princess Anyue and the people around her, and they would follow anyone who left the palace.
Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Princess Anyue had no idea that she was being targeted.
Since there is no bad news from the Wu family, it means that the wet nurse has not taken action yet.
"Princess, I will go and remind her again." said the maid.
Princess Anyue nodded and said, "Take some of her son's belongings with her, so that she won't be unaware of the urgency of the matter."
"Yes, Princess." The maid responded and left the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
The maid rode in a carriage from the east to the west of the city and entered a remote alley.
The carriage stopped outside a yard.
The maid got out of the carriage, knocked on the door, and it opened.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of a child crying was heard.
The maid frowned and walked towards the direction of the crying sound. She came to a door and pushed it open.
In the room were two men and a chubby child. The child, a little over a year old, had two buns on his hair and wore a thick cotton-padded jacket. He was a well-fed child, but now he sat on the floor, filthy and smelling like urine and stench. A piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and his face was filled with fear, stained with tears and snot.
"You kept crying, and it finally felt better after blocking your mouth!" the guard said impatiently.
The maid also looked at the child with disgust.
"Cut off a finger," said the maid.
The guard was about to draw his sword.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and many people rushed in and started fighting with the two guards.
The maid's face turned pale and she tried to escape, but was caught by someone.
The little baby on the ground was also picked up and carried aside, away from the battlefield.
Soon, the two guards were subdued.
All the people in the yard were arrested and sent to the Ministry of Justice.
The child was also held and will be returned to her family.
Yu Niang waited anxiously at home and did not sleep all night.
She didn't dare to sleep. When she closed her eyes, the image of Goudan lying in a pool of blood would appear in her mind.
She prayed silently in her heart countless times, hoping that Goudan would be fine.
"Mother, please eat something." Her husband came in with a bowl of porridge.
Yu Niang shook her head. "I have no appetite. Where is Goudan? Is there anything to eat? Is he hungry or cold?"
Yu Niang asked, grabbing her husband's hand. Her husband's face was also full of worry, but he couldn't speak.
"I often think that this is just a dream. When I wake up, I will see Goudan sleeping next to me." Yu Niang said, sobbing softly again.
"Goudan's mother, Goudan's father, come out quickly, Goudan is back." At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside the door.
Yu Niang suddenly stood up and ran towards the door at an unprecedented speed. She saw Goudan being held in someone's arms, sobbing.
"Goudan!" Yu Niang shouted loudly and hugged Goudan in her arms.
"Mom..." Goudan's voice was hoarse from crying, and she burrowed into her mother's arms.
Yu Niang cried very loudly, it was a cry of joy because she had lost something and now found it again!
Countless times after that, Yu Niang looked at Goudan, who was jumping around lively, and felt very fortunate. Fortunately, she listened to Fu Niang's words and told the lady about the incident, so that Goudan could be saved.
As for Wei Qing, he captured everyone in the courtyard. The maids and guards were all Princess Anyue's men, and the real culprit behind the scenes was just as he and his wife had guessed!
Princess Anyue sent people to capture the wet nurse's child and threatened the wet nurse to poison her children. Naturally, this matter must be investigated to the end.
Even if the other party is a member of the royal family, a princess of the royal family!
Wei Qing reported the matter directly to the emperor.
The emperor's face was very serious. He really didn't expect that his sister would do such a thing!
On one side is his most trusted minister, and on the other side is the princess with whom he is not very close. It is impossible for him to disappoint his capable minister for the sake of the princess!
Therefore, this case must be investigated thoroughly!
Wu Yu was the victim in this case, and Gu Huainian was Tang Li's brother. If the case were tried by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, it would be unfair and would also attract gossip.
Therefore, the emperor appointed people to thoroughly investigate the case.
The Lu family also received the news at the first time.
Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Princess Anyue looked very unhappy.
how so? !
Not only did she fail to accomplish her mission, but she was also caught and the case was traced back to her!
"Princess, did you really do this?" Lu An asked with a tired look on his face.
In fact, it is basically confirmed that Princess Anyue did it, and the only thing left is the trial.
During this period of time, he kept watching Princess Anyue, fearing that she would do something impulsive.
Unexpectedly, she did it anyway.
Princess Anyue saw Lu An's disappointed look and panicked. Her son was dead, and for her, the only reason to live was to avenge him and her husband. She couldn't bear to leave him, otherwise, she would have wanted to take revenge and then follow her son. Because of Lu An, her plan was to avenge him and then live a good life together.
Princess Anyue quickly grabbed Lu An's arm and said, "I've been dreaming recently. I dreamed of Xuan'er, and Xuan'er asked me to avenge him. Lu Lang, our son was killed by Tangli, and I want to get back at him..."
"Princess, we are largely responsible for Xuan'er's behavior. How can you blame others?" Lu An said.
He has said this several times, but why doesn't she understand this?
It was also his fault, he was too weak, watching her spoil her son so much that he could do nothing...
"Lü Lang..." Princess Anyue approached him with a panicked look on her face.
Lu An sighed softly and held her in his arms.
"Lu Lang, what should we do now? My royal brother will definitely protect me, right? I am his sister." Princess Anyue still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that her royal brother would take her into consideration and instruct the person in charge of investigating the case to use those servants to take the blame so that she would not be implicated.
There were hurried footsteps and soon, there was a knock on the door.
"Princess, Lord Marquis, there are officials outside the door, saying they want to take the princess to the government office for interrogation." The housekeeper's anxious voice came.
Princess Anyue's last hope was shattered, and she collapsed in Lu An's arms.
She was a princess, yet she was taken to the government office for interrogation and suffered such humiliation!
