Chapter 393: Help? He Yuan is missing!
After these words were spoken, those who had just doubted that Emperor Wen had been poisoned by the elixir and had become stupid were now convinced of it, because Emperor Wen was not a bloodthirsty person. He had been on the throne for a long time, and only those who plotted treason would be sentenced to death. But now he was killing people at will, which really made people doubt that the rumors were true.
The only outcome of this incident was that Long Feibai was taken from the Third Prince's residence to the Imperial Palace to treat Concubine Yue's illness. The intriguing thing about this matter was that if Concubine Yue's illness was truly caused by witchcraft, and Long Feibai was able to decipher it, it would imply that he was connected to the perpetrator, making it impossible for him to prove his innocence.
If Long Feibai failed to restore Concubine Yue to health, according to Emperor Wen, Long Feibai would be beheaded the next day. Emperor Wen would not actually behead Long Feibai, but he had to make a show of it, otherwise how could he deceive outsiders?
He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan returned to the Third Prince's Mansion exhausted both physically and mentally. Shao Shang and Huo Buyi were also extremely anxious. They were not implicated, but they could not bear to see these two people being led by the nose.
"Young Master, will Long Feibai really not die?" Gu Guan stood at the door. He had been turning around for the whole morning and was still turning around. If Long Feibai failed to cure Concubine Yue by noon, Emperor Wen would behead him and display his head in public.
Wen Ziduan gave him a strange look. "I remember you didn't like him, didn't you? You often came back to tell me that Long Feibai was a bookworm who spent all day reading medical books and was very boring."
"That was before. Now..." Gu Guan didn't dare to say it. Now the two of them were in the same boat. Even if Long Feibai's death didn't have a direct impact on him, no one knew what would happen to the female insect after losing the male insect. How could he not worry? Gu Guan hypnotized himself.
At this moment, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shake slightly, and a very weak sound came from below. He Zhaojun then remembered that this was an unfinished tunnel. It was too narrow and adults could only crawl forward. Therefore, it had not been drawn on the map, and therefore Emperor Wen had not sent troops to guard it.
She lifted up the bluestone from the ground and saw the old butler, He Zhong, covered in dust and blood. It was a horrible sight, with not a single piece of intact flesh left on his body. "Young Lady! Go save... the young master!"
He Zhaojun was horrified. She quickly pulled him out of the tunnel. He Zhong's clothes were soaked in blood, but he shook his head: "I am just a worthless person. I only got a few scratches when I crawled over here. But young master, young master..."
"Something happened to He Yuan, right? He disappeared?" He Zhaojun did not use a speculative tone, but was very certain. After all, He Yuan was in the He family. No one could break into the He mansion and kill He Yuan when they were surrounded by heavy troops. The only possibility was that He Yuan was missing.
He Zhong nodded and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Young lady, I have not taken good care of you, please punish me!" After saying this, He Zhong was breathing out more than breathing in, and his whole body was like a bellows, with blood foam when he gasped. It was obvious that his organs were compressed by the tunnel and he had internal injuries.
He Zhaojun pressed his wound and said, "Stop talking! Shaoshang, can you help treat Uncle Zhong? I want to go and rescue He Yuan."
Shao Shang nodded: "Leave it to me, you can go ahead without worry. Sister Zhaojun, be careful." Shao Shang looked at He Zhaojun and couldn't help but worry.
He Zhaojun returned to the Duobao Pavilion and opened a small jar. Several small bees flew out, fluttering their wings and flying around her several times. "I once gave He Yuan a purse. As long as he still has it on him, I will be able to find him!"
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, her face turned slightly pale, and she glanced at Gu Guan at the door: "I guess Long Feibai will be in danger too."
