Chapter 521: Unknown Child
In the end, Jiang Lin chose Anliu's suggestion. They heard the truth from Jiumengzi's mouth, but Jiumengzi never remembered what he said, so he is still imprisoned.
Jiang Lin and his team did not feel happy after receiving the news. They were forced to interrupt again because they had only a few clues.
"This person is so brave!" Anliu fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Jiang Lin lowered his eyes. "A eunuch now wants to find his son. Is it because he starts to think about family affection?"
Hearing this, Anliu turned his head and saw the sadness between Jiang Lin's brows. His sadness was different from Jiang Lin's.
In response to Jiang Lin's doubts, Anliu pondered, "It's not a whim. Hasn't the eunuch been giving money to that man for over a decade? I think he's worried about his son."
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head after listening to this. "It's not that simple."
Jiang Lin's gaze drifted past Anliu and he nodded in agreement. "If he really cared about his child, why would he enter the palace and become a eunuch, leaving no name in the eyes of the emperor..."
Anliu's eyes slightly opened, his train of thought suddenly opened up, and he followed Jiang Lin's thoughts and spoke first: "He even went to the Ninth Prince on purpose and helped him plot so many things. Could it be..."
Anliu was shocked by his own guess. Could this eunuch have such great ambitions?
Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows. "The Ninth Prince doesn't want to be the emperor. Could this eunuch want his child to take that position?"
They all had this guess, but if it was right, then this eunuch was a very shrewd man, and he had been using the Ninth Prince all along.
"Master, I will personally guard this eunuch. He is too ambitious." Anliu wanted to monitor his every move and would never let his plan succeed.
Jiang Lin shook his head. "The eunuch still doesn't know that the child is long gone. Go find him a child."
Anliu didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Lin's words at first, but after listening to Qin Xiangnuan's words, he instantly understood.
Qin Xiangnuan said, "That person said the child was sent to a distant relative, but the eunuch would not listen to that person's one-sided story. He must have been unable to find the child with those people, so he kept sending money here."
Jiang Lin tilted his head. What Qin Xiangnuan said made sense. After all, the man they arrested was just a distant relative of the eunuch, and there was not much trust between the two.
"Let's go and ask the person who captured the child to give him one before the eunuch finds the child." Jiang Lin said.
Therefore, their focus has shifted recently. Fortunately, the eunuch is no longer around the Ninth Prince, and he has not taken any other actions recently, only causing discomfort to the Emperor in the palace.
In order to make the child's appearance as reasonable as possible, Jiang Lin and his team need to forge the identities of multiple people so that everything will be more credible.
At this time, their people brought news that the people sent out by the eunuchs before seemed to be heading straight to the border.
"Are they trying to find evidence that the master is not at the border?" was Anliu's reaction after hearing this.
"That shouldn't be the case." Jiang Lin frowned. "If that were the case, the Ninth Prince's men would have set out. Why would the eunuchs take action?"
"Then what can they do at the border?" Anliu was puzzled.
But perhaps in order to fabricate identities for people recently, Anliu's imagination has been running wild, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Master, are they going to the border to look for the child?" Anliu exclaimed.
Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan focused their attention on him upon hearing this.
"Looking for a child?" Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Why is the child at the border?"
Anliu shook his head. This was just a baseless guess.
Jiang Lin took this to heart. The eunuch might not believe the words of the captured man, so he must have been looking for the whereabouts of the child.
The child disappeared ten years ago. The eunuch has been in contact with that person for so many years. It must be that his own people failed to find the child, so they placed a little hope on that person.
About ten years is enough time for them to search all places, but they may not have searched the border.
"Send a pigeon immediately to have someone stop their people. Don't let them go until we are ready." Jiang Lin said to Anliu.
"Yes, master, I will do it immediately." The undercurrent rushed away. The eunuchs' men set out early, hoping that they could still make it in time.
"Nuannuan, I will be out for a few days, so thank you for your hard work here." Jiang Lin said to Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and said, "Go ahead, nothing will happen here."
Jiang Lin nodded. The matter of the child was an important card in their hand. Jiang Lin took it very seriously. He had to handle it personally to ensure that everything was safe.
I don’t know how Jiang Lin has progressed these days, but Anfeng’s progress is still relatively fast.
"Ms. Qin, can I get the prosthesis now?" An Feng stared at the area where the wound had become smooth in a daze.
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head. "It will take a few more days. Wait until your wounds are healed and the surface is ready before we can start."
"Oh." An Feng responded weakly.
Qin Xiangnuan paused. She had been in more contact with An Feng in recent days, so she naturally noticed that his mood was not very high.
"Anfeng, aren't you happy?" Qin Xiangnuan didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly about his feelings.
An Feng didn't expect Qin Xiangnuan to have this question. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head stiffly at Qin Xiangnuan.
"Really?" Qin Xiangnuan laughed, "I was wrong."
An Feng lowered his eyes. Qin Xiangnuan was not wrong. It was he who was wrong. He lied and did not dare to look directly into Qin Xiangnuan's eyes.
Qin Xiangnuan continued with her original actions, and when everything was finished, An Feng still retained the same appearance.
"Anfeng, you don't need to come over these days." Qin Xiangnuan suddenly said to Anfeng.
At that moment, Qin Xiangnuan did not miss the joy and a little bit of entanglement in Anfeng's eyes when he raised his head.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't want to ask Anfeng about his mood anymore, but his joy at this moment was too obvious.
Qin Xiangnuan tried to pass by intentionally, but she couldn't resist An Feng's embarrassed expression after he noticed it.
"You..." Qin Xiangnuan sighed softly, "I just want to wait for the wound to heal. I can simply change the dressing every day. It doesn't mean that I won't install a prosthesis for you."
An Feng turned his head uncomfortably when he heard that, but realized that this was disrespectful to Qin Xiangnuan, so he turned back uncomfortably.
Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows and raised her chin towards An Feng, "Tell me, why don't you want a prosthetic limb?"
An Feng remained silent as usual and did not reply.
Qin Xiangnuan smiled slightly and continued, "I won't tell Jiang Lin."
