Qiao Mu reacted immediately and realized that it was mainly because the impact of this incident was too great. It made him a little panicked. This is when I didn't react.
Qiao Mu rushed back into the clinic and asked the pharmacist.
Not long after, the man walked out in a daze.
General Zhou frowned even more tightly when he saw him like this.
"Well, I heard it clearly."
"Whose girl is this?"
Qiao Mu said blankly.
"She's the girl from the Hua family."
General Zhou did not understand the deep meaning of his words, and immediately angrily scolded: "Of course, this general knows that Miss Hua is the daughter of the Hua family."
"What I want to ask you now is..."
His voice unconsciously rose a little, which immediately attracted the curious gazes of passers-by.
Seeing this, General Zhou hurriedly lowered his voice and asked softly, "What I am concerned about is the identity of the person who looks like Miss Hua. Have you found out?"
Qiao Mu swallowed his saliva and responded with horror: "The medicine boy inside told me, she said..."
General Zhou was becoming increasingly impatient.
"Tell me quickly!" he snapped.
Qiao Mu trembled all over and stammered, "The medicine boy mentioned that the young lady just now was named Hua Wanru."
General Zhou looked confused, as if he still hadn't fully grasped the meaning.
The main reason is that in this era, the names of noble ladies are rarely mentioned in front of outsiders. So General Zhou only knew Miss Hua, but didn't know her specific name.
Qiao Mu hurriedly added explanation.
"The daughter of Duke Hua's family is named Hua Wanru."
General Zhou was stunned!
"What? Could it be that the person you met by chance was actually me?"
Qiao Mu nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"How is this possible? Didn't he die with Duke Hua and the others?"
"Could it be that he has come back to life from the dead?"
General Zhou and Qiao Mu both looked puzzled.
"Then you found out her address."
Qiao Mu still had some brains this time. He nodded.
"I asked! It's in East City!"
General Zhou's brows were almost knotted. "Let's go back to the post station first!"
If the other person is really the daughter of the Duke Hua's Mansion, then we can't just take her away directly as we thought before. Even she didn't dare to act rashly.
It seems he has to think of another solution.
He thought further: if Miss Hua was still alive, would Duke Hua and his other family members also be alive?
Does this count as deceiving the emperor?
General Zhou shook his head again.
If the late emperor were still alive, it might be considered as deceiving the emperor. The late emperor might have skinned them alive.
But now the late emperor has passed away.
Everyone knows how much the new emperor loves the eldest daughter of the Duke of Huaguo’s Mansion. They certainly won't be considered as deceiving the king.
Moreover, Duke Hua resigned to the late emperor that year. He resigned from his position, saying that he was looking for his abducted little girl.
The late emperor agreed, but did not deprive Duke Hua of his title. So Duke Hua is still Duke.
Even though it was later reported that the late emperor had killed the entire family of Duke Hua, it was just a rumor after all.
Duke Hua's family now appears in Beiping Prefecture. No one can say anything to them. After all, the legs are on my body, I can go wherever I want.
The more General Zhou thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He felt that he knew a huge secret, but it was of no use to him at all.
It was like seeing a table full of delicious food. But I don’t know how to start eating.
After returning to the post station, Qiao Mu served General Zhou as if he was walking on thin ice. General Zhou was seen with a frown on his face. He kept walking back and forth in the room, sighing from time to time.
Qiao Mu wanted to say something, but was afraid of saying something wrong and angering General Zhou, so he swallowed the words back.
However, he couldn't help it in the end, and reminded softly: "If Miss Hua is really still alive..." His voice was so soft that it seemed as if only he could hear it.
"The Emperor will definitely make Miss Hua the Queen!"
"Then what does Imperial Concubine Ru have to do with it?"
Before he finished speaking, General Zhou suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a long time, a light flashed in his eyes.
Yes, if we can really find Miss Hua, with her status and position, she will definitely become the new emperor’s queen.
As a result, Concubine Ru, who looked like Miss Hua, would be criticized and the emperor would also dislike her. Concubine Ru's family will also fall.
And Miss Hua will inevitably take the back seat and become the mother of the country.
And as the first person to find Miss Hua, didn't General Zhou make a huge contribution?
The emperor will definitely use and reward him.
Thinking of this, General Zhou became more excited and quickly gave orders to Qiao Mu.
"You must immediately go to the vicinity of Washington and investigate."
"This time, we must find out the news about Miss Hua. Remember, this operation must not be taken lightly!"
"Don't let anyone find your tracks."
Qiao Mu nodded and quickly retreated.
When night fell that day, Qiao Mu rushed back to the post station without stopping.
"It's bad, General!"
Qiao Mu ran to General Zhou in panic and shouted.
At this moment, General Zhou was sitting at the table enjoying dinner.
Hearing Qiao Mu's sudden shout, he suddenly dropped the chopsticks in his hand and stared at Qiao Mu with wide eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"You'd better give this general a reasonable explanation. What happened to make you so panicked?"
General Zhou shouted angrily.
"If you have nothing important to tell me, don't blame me for punishing you severely!"
Qiao Mu was shocked, knowing very well that General Zhou hated being disturbed while he was eating. He was so confused today that he actually forgot this.
He quickly lowered his head, silently stepped back to one side and dared not say another word.
General Zhou saw him standing aside obediently.
I thought it shouldn't be a big deal. Continue to pick up the chopsticks and lower your head to eat.
However, not long after, General Zhou only took a few bites and put down his chopsticks in displeasure.
The originally happy mood for dining had already disappeared because of Qiao Mu's disturbance just now.
General Zhou just wiped the corners of his mouth casually a few times, then asked impatiently.
"Okay, now you can tell me what happened?"
Qiao Mu then hurriedly reported it.
"I squatted there all afternoon!"
"We found that Duke Hua's family is alive! They were not burned to death as the rumors said."
General Zhou frowned, but didn't say much because he had thought of it before.
"That's it?" General Zhou was displeased!
He has no interest in Duke Hua at all now. No matter why his family came here.
What he cares about most now is Miss Hua.
Qiao Mu continued gratefully.
"I also heard that Miss Hua will be getting married in a dozen days."
“I want to marry Master Shen!”
