Chapter 385 A conspiracy against the Third Prince and his wife
Gu Guan went to track down Liu Qingshan, but he disappeared in the mountains on the outskirts of the city. However, after investigation, Gu Guan did not find any large number of people and horses entering the mountains or any traces of wheel tracks. Even the bandits who had been entrenched in the mountains were nowhere to be seen. There were also a few farmhouses living peacefully. When Liu Qingshan returned, he found nothing unusual.
When everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard someone outside the door hurriedly reporting that something had happened in the palace. Concubine Yue urgently summoned several people into the palace. They looked at each other and felt that this was too coincidental. Liu Qingshan had just come to visit with bad intentions, and something happened in the palace.
Bai Lao, who had come to Yongle Palace to deliver the news about Concubine Yue, bumped into Cao Cheng. Their expressions changed several times. Bai Lao's aged face showed a hint of dejection. She took two steps back to make room for Cao Cheng. "Your Majesty has ordered that Wen Ziduan and He Zhaojun proceed to Dezheng Hall. All others are not allowed to leave the palace without his order."
Wen Ziduan heard two similar yet very different oral orders, but shook his head: "My mother wants the four of us to go to Yongle Palace together, but my father only wants you and me to go to Dezheng Palace. Obviously, something has happened, and my mother wants to protect Shao Shang."
"Everyone, close the gates of the mansion. The housekeeper will lead everyone to check inside and outside the mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Violators will be arrested. Once any abnormality is discovered, report to the palace immediately!" Wen Ziduan's face was solemn. Although he had no evidence, he always felt that something was wrong this time.
Gu Guan received the order, but before he could close the door, he saw a pale-faced young man with long, slightly curly hair, carrying a medicine box and a seven-year-old fat boy, hurrying towards the Third Prince's residence. It was unclear what Long Feibai and He Yuan were doing here.
"What are you doing here? Leave immediately. The Third Prince's Mansion is going to be sealed off for inspection." Gu Guan grabbed Long Feibai and whispered to him that the situation was not good and he should not bring He Yuan here to take risks.
Long Feibai shook his head. "I just heard the news and rushed here. This mansion has everything except a doctor. If something really happens, what will happen to Madam Huo who is pregnant?"
"What about this naughty kid?" Gu Guan pointed at He Yuan who was following beside him. The little fat boy was running out of breath.
Long Feibai smiled helplessly: "They were sent by the He family. The others are not convenient to show up. Only this young man was still learning to read with the teacher before, so he has not been targeted yet."
He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan went to the palace. Cao Cheng kept silent all the way until the carriage passed a long and empty street. Then Cao Cheng suddenly pulled Wen Ziduan's hand, wrote a word on his palm, and quickly sat down, pretending nothing had happened.
Wen Ziduan looked at He Zhaojun and mouthed the word "witch".
He Zhaojun repeated the shape in her mouth over and over again, finally pursing her lips. The word "witch" reached the heavens, penetrated the underworld, and connected people. He Zhaojun could only think of Long Feibai, whose master was Long Xiannan, the most renowned witch among the Miao and Yao people in the southwest.
When she returned from Lingnan, she also brought with her several local shamans. However, Long Feibai was obsessed with medicine, while the other shamans, apart from medical skills, only knew simple divination methods, which was fundamentally different from the shamans who could communicate with ghosts and gods.
However, these people are all related to her, and they are so aggressive that they even implicate the palace. Even when Concubine Yue wanted to inform her in advance, she was stopped. It seems that this matter must be aimed at her and Wen Ziduan.
He Zhaojun let out a breath and frowned. Could it be you, Liu Qingshan?
