The entire side hall was searched carefully several times by Xiao Yuwei, but the whereabouts of the middle-aged eunuch were still not found.
"Commander-in-Chief, that person may have taken advantage of the Qianqiu Banquet to sneak out of the palace by hiding among the many ministers' families who left the palace."
After the search, a Xiaoyu Guard reported.
Xiao Lichen thought about the time between His Majesty's fainting and the end of the Qianqiu Banquet, and said coldly, "The palace gates have been sealed. Search the entire palace as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll take someone to do it!"
A group of people quickly evacuated the side hall.
Xiao Lichen was left sitting there, lost in thought.
His Majesty fainted first, and then the Qianqiu Banquet ended.
The minister left the palace with his family.
And that time was probably the critical moment to make medicine for His Majesty.
No, that person must have an assistant, otherwise, how could he boil the medicine while running to assassinate Imperial Physician Cao and push him into the water?
The distance between the two within the palace is quite different.
The other party has accomplices.
Xiao Lichen suddenly thought of something.
"Quick, push me towards Wenying Palace."
He shouted to Hei Yan, the personal guard standing nearby to protect his safety.
Black Flame pushed him to quicken his pace.
At the palace gate, Tao Yuwei and her family were strictly searched by the Xiaoyu Guards and the Imperial Guards who were guarding there. Then the palace gate was opened and they were allowed to pass.
Tao Yuwei kept her eyes closed along the way.
She and Wu were sitting in their own carriage.
Tao Zhihong rode a horse and escorted him by his side.
The Northern Barbarians' purpose in entering the capital this time was to plant spies within the Great Zhou. It's unknown who they brought into the Great Zhou, or how many people they infiltrated.
What? The northern barbarians are actually fighting for this purpose.
Tao Zhihong was riding on his horse, and his heart tightened when he remembered that he had specially sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the northern barbarians, but he did not find anything unusual.
After returning home, I have to send more people to thoroughly find out the exact number of spies sent by the Northern Barbarians into the Great Zhou, and then find a way to eliminate them all.
He has already started investigating the plot against his wife in the palace.
Tao Yuwei in the carriage was still thinking about something.
[Gao Cheng'an and Concubine Yu, who plotted against my mother, are now dead. Gao Cheng'an and his father, Gao Huaizhen, are of the same character. Privately, they both like married women. No one would doubt his motives towards my mother, but why would Concubine Yu, who is deep in the harem, also attack my mother?]
Mother has already escaped this disaster. No matter who is hiding behind Concubine Yu, their purpose is nothing more than to deal with the entire General's Mansion.
Targeting her family time and time again shows that the people behind the scenes know very well that her father Tao Zhihong is loyal to the country, holds military power, and is a loyal minister, and his only loyalty is to His Majesty.
Trying to win people over by trickery doesn't work. If you want to ascend to that high position of power, you must first eliminate the useful people around Your Majesty and remove the stumbling blocks.
Therefore, there were plans to target the General's Mansion again and again.
When it comes down to it, it's because her father is capable and has a large army, and her father-in-law is also a general, so they blocked other people's way.
No matter who it is, if they find that the general's wife is difficult to deal with, they will definitely change their strategy.
Dad should have known from mom that someone was plotting against her. Let dad find out who is behind this.
[Things have been happening one after another lately. I hope my eldest cousin and eldest brother return safely. The third princess is eagerly waiting for her eldest cousin to come back and marry her.]
[If I had come back any later, the Third Princess would have been betrothed to Wang Jue, the son of the Left Prime Minister. That guy is not a human being; he likes men.]
The third princess truly loved her eldest cousin, but after various misunderstandings arose, she was forced by Concubine De to marry Wang Jue. After the marriage, she was not only imprisoned and beaten, but was also publicly accused of having contracted the plague. Worse still, she was abused by his men in turn.
She persisted until the Eighth Prince seized power and rescued her. She only wanted to see her eldest cousin again, but she learned that he had already died under the scimitars of the barbarians.
[In the end, she married into the Northern Barbarians for the sake of the Great Zhou. At the border, in front of soldiers from both the Great Zhou and Northern Barbarians, she committed suicide for the sake of her country.]
The third princess is so miserable.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Wu and Tao Zhihong outside the carriage were almost numb.
No, we have to help the third princess.
Prince Wang likes men?
It is not obvious that Wang Xiang's son has a preference for both men. If the third princess really wants to marry him, wouldn't her life be ruined?
Wu secretly decided in her heart that she would go to the palace again tomorrow to find out the Queen Mother's opinion in advance and see if she could get the Queen Mother to write an imperial edict to grant the marriage.
Tao Zhihong was thinking a lot outside the carriage.
When we got back home, it was already late.
After Tao Yuwei entered the mansion, she separated from Tao Zhihong and his wife.
[No matter how much I have to do, I still need to sleep first.]
Seeing her daughter's heartless attitude of wanting to rest as much as possible, Mrs. Wu smiled and shook her head.
My daughter has the broadest heart.
When faced with danger and trouble, she always maintains that kind of courageous spirit, moving forward fearlessly without fear of difficulties.
She often forgets that she still has them to rely on.
"Madam, we should go back and rest."
Tao Zhihong took Wu's hand and returned to their own yard.
"My dear husband, it's all thanks to you for having someone hold back the senior palace maid who was serving the sobering soup to Concubine Yu. Otherwise, Gao Cheng'an wouldn't have been able to succeed."
Being able to dodge the plot and turn it against the opponent was the result of their joint cooperation.
It was her husband who deliberately offered His Majesty an extra serving of deer blood wine at the banquet, which made His Majesty angry and anxious to find Concubine Yu to relieve his anger.
