Chapter 427 There is an order
Ever since the failure of Liuxiang's plan, the man in black has not appeared again.
Yuan Ziyu felt uneasy and ordered Huo Twelve to secretly send people to protect the Yuan family, especially Liu. At the same time, Yuan Ziyu made a lot of detoxifying sachets overnight, told his family the whole story, and asked them to carry them with them.
Although this sachet cannot completely detoxify, if someone drugs you, it can delay the onset of the drug, giving you enough time to take the detoxification pills.
As for Liuxiang's family, they were also found in a dilapidated house outside the city. They had been dead for several days.
After Liuxiang buried all her family members, she kowtowed to Yuan Ziyu, indicating that she would follow Yuan Ziyu's arrangements.
If this matter is brought to light, it will involve several families, so Yuan Ziyu plans to wait for Huo Xi to fly back to Beijing and discuss it with him before making a decision.
However, before Huo Xifei returned to the capital, the Yuan family received the imperial edict from Emperor Wen of Qi.
"Second Miss, Second Miss." Qingzhi hurried back to Wuyou Pavilion: "Someone came from the palace, saying that the emperor has issued an order, and everyone in Yuan Mansion is required to go to the gate to receive it."
Yuan Ziyou put down the pills he was making and looked at Qingzhi with a frown: "Qingzhi, what did you say?"
For some reason, when Qingzhi said that the emperor had issued an edict, her right eyelid started twitching non-stop and her heart began to panic. This feeling made her extremely uneasy, and she always felt as if something was going to happen.
"Second Miss, the emperor has sent a eunuch to the mansion to announce the decree." Qingzhi took a breath and responded quickly.
"Announce the decree..." Yuan Ziyu still did not move, but just muttered to himself.
"Oh, my dear girl, you have to change your clothes quickly." Yuan Ziyu hadn't moved yet, but Qingying was very anxious. She quickly pulled Yuan Ziyu up and was about to find clothes for Yuan Ziyu to change.
"No rush." Yuan Ziyu hurriedly held Qingying's hand and said.
"Second Miss, the eunuch is in a hurry and has asked everyone to rush to the gate." Qingzhi said hurriedly, "I'm afraid it's too late to change clothes."
So urgent?
Yuan Ziyu suddenly turned around and looked at Qingzhi, who was stunned: "Second Miss."
"Qingzhi, Qingying," Yuan Ziyou hurriedly ordered, "You two will follow everyone to the main gate. If anyone asks about me, just say I left early this morning. Understand?"
"Oh." Although Qingying and Qingzhi didn't understand why Yuan Ziyu didn't go to the gate to listen to the order, they never refuted Yuan Ziyu's words. Seeing Yuan Ziyu's order, they hurriedly responded.
"Huo Twelve." Yuan Ziyu called out again.
"Second Miss." Huo Twelve appeared from somewhere.
Yuan Ziyou then ordered, "Twelve, you will act according to the circumstances. If the imperial decree is issued to confiscate the Yuan family, you will immediately inform the Crown Prince."
"Yes." Yuan Ziyu's words shocked Huo Twelve. He realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly agreed.
"Search!" Qingying and Qingzhi widened their eyes upon hearing this, and looked at Yuan Ziyu in disbelief. Why did he say he wanted to search when everything was fine?
"Qingying and Qingzhi, the two of you pretend that you didn't hear anything and don't reveal anything, understand?" Yuan Ziyu hurriedly reminded them.
"Yes, we will save ourselves the trouble." Qingying and Qingzhi said hurriedly. They understood that there might be something they didn't know about. They couldn't help now, but at least they couldn't make things worse for their second young lady.
"Okay, all of you should do what you need to do." Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly.
"yes."
After everyone left, Yuan Ziyu turned around and entered the Qiongjiang Pavilion, then drove the Qiongjiang Pavilion to the gate of Yuan Mansion.
At this time, at the gate of Yuan Mansion, Nanny Bai and Shaoyao were standing in the front with Madam Yuan, Yuan Qifeng and Liu were standing on the left and right sides of Madam Yuan respectively, while the brothers Yuan Zian and Yuan Zining were standing behind Yuan Qifeng. Further back, the servants of Yuan Mansion were standing in a large crowd.
Eunuch Liu stood there with his hands behind his back, his face solemn and silent. Behind him were two teams of guards.
Yuan Qifeng instinctively felt something was wrong. Looking at the two teams of imperial guards, he asked, "Eunuch Liu, who are these imperial guards?"
"Haha, General Yuan, just receive the order later." Eunuch Liu no longer had his usual smiling face. He just looked at Yuan Qifeng with a forced smile.
Yuan Qifeng couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He felt that today's matter was not simple, but he didn't know what the emperor's will was.
"General Yuan, are all the people here?" asked Eunuch Liu.
"Everyone is here." In fact, Yuan Qifeng knew that Yuan Ziyu had not come, but he secretly did not want Yuan Ziyu to be here at this moment, so he smiled and said.
"Are they all here?" Eunuch Liu frowned, glanced at the crowd, and sneered, "I don't think so. I wonder where Miss Yuan Er from your mansion is now?"
"My dear father-in-law," Qingying replied before Yuan Qifeng could reply, "My second daughter left home early this morning and hasn't returned yet."
"She left the house?" Eunuch Liu turned to look at a commander of the Imperial Guards behind him, who hurriedly said, "Your Highness, we've been guarding the gate since early morning, but we didn't see Miss Yuan leave the house."
This sentence made Yuan Qifeng's face change. The commander of the imperial guards was guarding the gate of their Yuan Mansion early in the morning. What was he going to do?
After hearing what the commander said, Eunuch Liu sneered and said to Qingying, "How dare you, you lowly maid, to lie."
Qingying knelt down and said, "My Lord, I dare not lie. My second daughter left the house early this morning by climbing over the wall in the backyard. Yesterday, my second daughter told Madam that she was leaving the house today, but Madam did not agree, so..."
After saying this, he looked at Liu with guilt.
Liu was also very perceptive. Seeing Qingying looking at her, she said angrily, "This child, I didn't let her leave the house yesterday, but she climbed over the wall and left. If she insists on leaving the house, can I, as her mother, stop her?"
"Madam, please forgive me." Qingying said hurriedly, "Second Miss was also worried that you would not agree."
"Hmph, if the eunuch hadn't come to announce the decree today, would you have kept it a secret from me?" Liu feigned a glare at Qingying and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
"Alright." Madam Yuan said to Liu, "Don't be too restrictive with the second girl."
"Yes, mother." Liu responded hurriedly with lowered eyebrows.
The Yuan Mansion was not small, and Eunuch Liu secretly sent people to monitor it instead of sending soldiers to guard it openly. Therefore, it was impossible for him to take care of every corner of the Yuan Mansion. Subconsciously, Eunuch Liu thought that Yuan Ziyu climbed over the wall to leave the mansion and his people did not notice it.
At that moment, Eunuch Liu said, "Well, since Miss Yuan Er is not here, let's start the announcement now."
"Long live our emperor!" Upon hearing this, everyone in the Yuan family knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor."
