After Lou Kui delivered the person to the Prefect of Kyoto and personally escorted Shen Ke back to his residence, he went to the Third Prince's residence to find Fei Yu.
The two spent some time together, and Lou Kui didn't return to the palace until evening.
To their surprise, as soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw that the gate of the Prince's Mansion was wide open, and inside, there were flickering lights and many people standing there holding torches.
Lou Kui was completely baffled. "What's going on?"
Those around her shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.
Lou Kui then led them inside.
Then they saw that the room was full of yamen runners and guards from the Ministry of Justice. At that moment, Prince Guangfeng was led out by two guards.
Lou Kui panicked upon seeing this and immediately stepped forward to ask the Prince of Guangfeng, "Father, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, she wondered if her adoptive father's rebellion had been discovered.
What should she do then?
King Guangfeng never expected that because of what happened during the day, those people would betray him so quickly, and many of his secrets would be exposed.
Now they're being taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, and their time is over in just one day.
He gets angry whenever he sees Lou Kui.
Without hesitation, he slapped Lou Kui across the face, saying, "You still have the nerve to ask me what happened? It's all your fault, you idiot."
He now believes the rumors circulating outside that Lou Kui is a jinx who brings misfortune to whoever he gets along with.
He deeply regretted bringing Lou Kui back to the Prince's Palace.
But no matter what, this is his son, the only bloodline that can be preserved.
Since the rebellion has not yet been investigated, the Ministry of Justice will not detain the other people from the Prince's Mansion for the time being.
So after beating Lou Kui, he grabbed Lou Kuiping and gave him a good scolding.
Then, taking the opportunity, he whispered in Lou Kui's ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Find a chance to leave the capital in the next few days. Someone will meet you and take you to the Northwest."
He also quickly and secretly slipped a jade pendant into Lou Kui's hand.
There's no way we'll be able to get out tonight.
He firmly refused to admit to the rebellion, so the emperor's men had to investigate, which bought them some time.
When he decided to rebel, he left himself and his son a way out.
Now he can't escape, so all they can do is hope that this fool gets away and leaves some bloodline for his family.
Lou Kui was initially stunned by the beating and scolding from the King of Guangfeng, and even wanted to fight back.
But who knew that the other person would whisper this in her ear.
She realized that her adoptive father had deliberately beaten and scolded her, using it as an excuse to make her run away.
It seems the rebellion may have truly been exposed.
She was extremely panicked, terrified of being implicated.
Then the Prince of Guangfeng was pulled away by the guards and escorted away.
Logically, the Prince of Guangfeng's family should be confined to the Prince's residence, but Fei Chen said that they didn't need to worry about it for now.
All we need to do is capture the Prince of Guangfeng and his few advisors.
His daughter Youyou wanted to see Lou Kui looking anxious and helpless.
Moreover, keeping Lou Kui around might allow them to lure out the rebel king's forces.
Soon, Lou Kui watched helplessly as the Prince of Guangfeng was taken away.
She was still thinking about whether she should go back to the Third Prince's residence to ask Fei Yu for help.
Then Princess Guangfeng grabbed his hair and, along with several concubines, began to tear and beat him.
"You jinx! It's all your fault for being so clever. Otherwise, how could the prince have been arrested?"
“I told the prince not to acknowledge you back, but he wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve ruined everything.”
The princess is almost losing her mind now.
She knew a little about what the Prince of Guangfeng had done, because he had also involved her family.
Therefore, if something happens to the Prince of Guangfeng, her family will also be doomed.
She has three daughters, two of whom are married and one is still unmarried. If this incident comes to light, they will all be affected.
The princess knew that the Prince of Guangfeng was arrested today because Lou Kui had acted cleverly and caused the trouble.
No one knows what method the Ministry of Justice used, but they managed to pry open those people's mouths and get them to implicate the prince.
She was so angry when she saw Lou Kui; it was all because of this troublemaker.
"Ah, you crazy women, let me go!" Lou Kui screamed repeatedly as she was being beaten.
His face was scratched with several bloody marks.
If the guards hadn't stepped forward in time to pull the princess and the others away, Lou Kui's face would have been scratched and disfigured.
Lou Kui was furious. "Are you all crazy? Instead of thinking about how to save Father, you're attacking me, the only male heir."
"Do you believe me or not? Without me, you wouldn't be able to protect this palace at all?"
The princess was captured by the guards. She looked at Lou Kui and sneered, "You're the one who ruined the palace. You can't escape either."
Lou Kui was puzzled. "What does this have to do with me?"
Although she hinted at encouraging the Prince of Guangfeng to rebel, she cautiously refrained from participating.
The princess looked at her coldly, "The people you sent to the government today confessed that the mastermind behind it was the prince."
"Tell me, is this related to you or not? Was it your fault that the prince was arrested?"
Lou Kui was stunned and shocked. He never expected that the Prince of Guangfeng was the mastermind behind it all.
If she had known, she certainly wouldn't have sent him to the Kyoto Prefect.
No wonder these women attacked her like madwomen.
She panicked inside, but sneered on the surface: "I don't know what you're talking about, and I've never harmed my father."
Then she quickly returned to her courtyard and ordered her guards to investigate.
After investigating the whole story, she broke out in a cold sweat.
The arrest of the Prince of Guangfeng was truly her fault, leaving her speechless.
The key point is that she knew that the Prince of Guangfeng was involved in more than just this one case; he was also implicated in a rebellion.
The emperor must know something by now, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered the Prince of Guangfeng to be arrested and taken directly to the Ministry of Justice.
