Chapter 279 The more you investigate, the bigger the problem becomes
But within three days, the case became bigger and bigger as they investigated further, more people were involved, and more departments were involved. It was no longer something that Yuwen Zhao could handle alone.
He told Yuwen Sinian the general situation and said that he was unable to investigate further.
Because he had been working in the Ministry of Rites in the court, a sinecure with no connections, no power, and no influence, it was no longer within his power to investigate further.
Originally, such a major case did not need to be investigated further. If too many people were involved, it would be like having one's skin and flesh peeled off. The truth would be revealed, but the internal organs would also be exposed. Therefore, it would usually end up with nothing.
Yuwen Zhao also meant the same thing. He could just investigate the Ministry of Works and replace all the people there, which would at least cut off one arm of the Crown Prince's power.
But Yuwen Sinian did not order a halt to the investigation. He helped Yuwen Zhao up from the ground and asked, "I told you to investigate. Can you find out the truth?"
"Father, there will be a moment when the dark clouds will be lifted, but the price may be quite high." Yuwen Zhao answered honestly.
"So you don't want to get involved in this either, right?"
"Father, I'm not afraid, but my Zhen'er is. My child is afraid. If I continue investigating, I'm sure I'll fall off my horse again. This time, it might not just be a broken leg, but my child will definitely die."
Yuwen Zhao spoke from his heart, and Yuwen Sinian heard it clearly.
"But I want to know the truth."
"Father, let's stop here! After all... But Father, I have something else to tell you."
......
As soon as Yuwen Zhao left, the queen sent Qi Bao to deliver something to the king. The king did not let anyone in and just left the things behind.
Qi Bao was startled. He had never been turned away before. To reject him was equivalent to rejecting the queen. He left the front hall and hurried back to the queen's palace.
Xia Houying asked, "What does the king say? Can we eat it? Do you like it?"
Qi Bao lowered his head and dared not speak.
"What? Can't you enter the temple?"
Qibao replied "Yes".
Xiahou Ying thought that this incident had made Yuwen Sinian suspicious of the prince, and she didn't know how much effort she would have to put in to redeem him in the future. However, she was not going to explain or plead for the prince. It was best to do nothing at this time.
Lord Zhou sent a letter hoping to meet him, but now was not the right time to meet him, so Xiahou Ying could only wait until the prince returned.
It is said that Lord Zhou is approaching and will arrive soon.
Xiahou Ying asked again, "How's Fenghua Jun doing?"
Nanny Yan replied, "I personally went to deliver the item, but I didn't see him. He said he was sick, and they were afraid he would pass on his illness to me."
"Hmm?" Xia Houying asked in doubt.
"My Lady, she's not a deity, so she's bound to get sick. It's still freezing, and she's been in the river for so long, and she didn't change clothes right away, and she spent half a day rescuing people. She's definitely frostbitten!"
Xia Houying nodded. "That's right. She really does have the heart of a doctor and is a kind person. I heard that she sells flowers to raise money so that all the beggars in the capital can study at Wuya Academy."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Oh, by the way, when I came back just now, she asked me to bring that pot of flowers back with me, saying that she wanted to show it to Your Majesty." Nanny Yan pointed outside the window.
Xiahou Ying happened to be sitting on the couch, so he glanced out the window. The flowers among the grass looked even more beautiful.
"She's thoughtful enough to still remember this at this time."
"It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Yu agreed to your request, so I dare not forget it." Nanny Yan replied again.
"How is the illness? Did you ask?"
"I asked, and he said that he was fine on the day he came back. I didn't expect that he couldn't get up yesterday morning. He had a fever and a cough. I could hear him coughing loudly inside even from outside the house." Nanny Yan's eyes were full of heartache.
"Where's the youngest one?"
"Your Highness felt distressed but couldn't help. He was afraid of disturbing Feng Huajun's rest if he went into the house, so he just walked in the courtyard, and the ground was grooving. Look, I didn't even have a sip of water before I was sent back."
Xia Houying laughed and said, "That's all you can do! Why don't you send some more nourishing medicine? If it weren't for her this time... if anything happened to the king, it would be a huge mistake. She'll have to choose the best; anything less than that won't satisfy her."
"My Lady, what are you doing..."
"Well, let's not force him. If they want to travel, let them go! I won't stop them. I don't mind having Feng Huajun be my daughter-in-law, but I'm afraid she won't agree. This is the only way for now." Xiahou Ying seemed to have come to his senses all of a sudden.
So, Nanny Yan picked out more than a dozen good tonic medicines and went to Lanfengju again.
Han Lang grabbed her and angrily said, "Why are you here again? You're not pretending to be sick, you're really sick! Just when you were gone, I had a fever! I just took the medicine and felt better. I just fell asleep and you're here again!"
Nanny Yan quickly explained, "The Empress heard that she was ill, so she asked me to bring her medicine! It's not that she doesn't believe me."
"No need to send me off, we have nothing! Go back quickly! Don't come again, or I won't see anyone like you!" Han Lang roared in a low voice.
"Yes." Nanny Yan smiled calmly, bowed and left.
Han Lang was really worried, so he tiptoed into the room and sat down beside the bed.
"My God, how long are you going to keep sighing, my prince?" Feng Aoqing woke up.
"Did I wake you up?" Han Lang rubbed his hands first, then put his hand on her forehead to test the temperature. The fever had subsided.
"No, I just woke up and heard you sighing."
"When have you ever been sick? I've never seen you sick even in the cold weather in Hantian Valley! Now you're so sick." Han Lang frowned.
"You haven't slept for a whole day and night. Go and rest! My fever has subsided. I'm fine." Feng Aoqing nudged him in the quilt.
"Okay, I won't come in then. You should have another good sleep, maybe a longer one this time. I'll have An Wan and An Ke waiting outside the door."
"Well, go ahead." Feng Aoqing smiled and shook his hand.
Han Lang then left.
But he didn't sleep and went straight out of Lanfengju.
At the door, he instructed Anqiao: "Until I come back, no one can enter, not even my father's men. Add twice as many people to the yard, and they must be the best in martial arts!"
An Qiao agreed to do it, and Ling Songyou followed Han Lang out.
He went straight to Prince Cong's palace, but Prince Cong was not in the palace, so he immediately went to Changding Palace.
This matter offended people, so Yuwen Xiunian sent royal guards to guard the place. Han Lang was not polite and would kill anyone who tried to stop him.
Zhang Wenyan, an official who was accompanying Yuwen Zhao, hurriedly reported to him what had happened outside the palace.
"Your Highness, Prince Yu has arrived, and the royal guards can't stop him."
"Let him in, no need to stop him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he arrived at the table.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, please calm down..." Zhang Wenyan stretched out his hand to block the table.
