In the prime minister's residence, Ni Yueshan's men had just come to seek troops, and asked him to send some people to search for Duan Gouqiong together.
Just as he sent the men out, a servant came hurriedly and reported anxiously: "Prime Minister, the prince has brought a lot of people to the Prime Minister's residence, and they want to search for someone!"
Ni Gaofei naturally knew that the missing person was Duan Gouqiong, and he even suspected her in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Ni Gaofei hurried towards the door. Standing there, Shao Lecheng looked arrogant and said, "Prime Minister, the Imperial Observatory just calculated that the princess is hiding in this area. To prove your innocence, I need to... search the mansion!"
He emphasized the last two words very strongly, and it was obvious that no matter whether Ni Gaofei agreed or not, he would send people to search!
Ni Gaofei looked calm, without any panic at all.
"The Imperial Observatory... can he even calculate something like this? He's so amazing! It would be a shame if he didn't help the government with their investigation and search for missing persons!"
Judging from the words, these words are indeed praise, but the tone sounds like sarcasm!
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory followed behind Shao Lecheng. Upon hearing this, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Everything is shown in the hexagram. I... am just telling you the truth!"
This statement completely shifted the blame, and the hexagram showed that he was telling the truth.
Although he was angry, Ni Gaofei did not try to stop them. He stepped aside and instructed the servants, "The Regent Princess wants you, so go search for her!"
The servants obeyed and left. Shao Lecheng had a surprised expression on his face: "Tsk tsk, I now suspect the Prime Minister and bring people to search the mansion, but you send people out to help find him. Why do I feel like I am not a human being?"
Ni Gaofei did not respond, and Shao Lecheng did not delay any longer. He waved to the people behind him, and immediately some people spread out into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jing Yuchen also arrived with his men at this time. He was radiant with coldness and shouted, "Stop!"
Everyone stopped immediately. Jing Yuchen looked at Shao Lecheng with a cold and sharp look in his eyes. "You rushed in to search like this recklessly. Do you even know the meaning of respect?"
Shao Lecheng was slightly unhappy: "Respect? That's fine."
As he spoke, he looked towards Ni Gaofei and bowed deeply: "Junior, I would like to search the Prime Minister's residence. Please grant me permission, Lord Prime Minister!"
I thought Shao Lecheng would be angry, but unexpectedly, he lowered himself so easily and asked for a search of his house.
Ni Gaofei hadn't thought of stopping them, so he immediately said, "Search!"
Afterwards, the group dispersed and searched.
Jing Yuchen's eyes fell on the Imperial Observatory next to him. Although he had no grudge against them, he was the Empress Dowager's man...
Seeing Jing Yuchen's unhappy expression, Ni Gaofei spoke to comfort him, "Regent, please relax. If you are doing the right thing, you don't have to worry about your shadow being crooked!"
Jing Yuchen felt a little uneasy.
At this time, Ni Yueshan was leading people to search the area where the poor lived. They had to see the appearance of everyone clearly to avoid the possibility that Duan Gouqiong really existed.
While they were still searching, someone came to report, "Princess, the prince brought some people to the Prime Minister's residence and suspected that the Prime Minister had kidnapped Princess Gou Qiong."
Ni Yueshan looked at him in surprise. Is Shao Lecheng crazy?
"Who came up with this idea?" Ni Yueshan asked suspiciously.
"The Imperial Observatory."
Qing Feng said worriedly, "Princess, you should go there too. The servants are here."
"My father is in the prime minister's residence. What should I do if I go back?" Ni Yueshan had no intention of leaving.
Qing Feng helplessly explained: "Princess, you are confused. The Prime Minister's residence is under the supervision of the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister's wife is about to give birth, and no mistakes can be made!"
Ni Yueshan was stunned. Yes, I forgot about Guo. I can't disturb the fetus. Shao Lecheng is sometimes impatient. If he bumps into her...
"Well, you guys keep an eye on it for me, I'll be back soon!"
Ni Yueshan left in a hurry and rushed to the prime minister's residence.
The Prime Minister's Mansion had been turned upside down. Someone even lifted rocks from the rockery in the courtyard and threw them towards the well. Ni Yueshan saw this and immediately shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
The man looked at Ni Yueshan and said, "What if there's a trap down there? Of course we have to throw rocks down and test it out!"
Ni Yueshan opened his mouth and sneered, "Really? Shouldn't we let you down and let you see the structure with your own eyes before you can feel at ease?"
The other person's expression changed, but he didn't say anything. Ni Yueshan continued, "If there really was someone down there, you'd probably kill them with a single hit like that!"
The man then knelt down on the ground in fear: "It was my fault for being so reckless!"
Ni Yueshan snorted, "Search them if you want, but you'll have to pay compensation for causing such damage!"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan asked the servant beside him, "Where is my father?"
When Ni Yueshan was brought to Ni Gaofei, he found Jing Yuchen there. Ni Yueshan walked over and asked, "Have you seen Miss Tai?"
Jing Yuchen responded, "I left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask about it. But Tai Banxue is a life after all, and Lecheng won't do anything rash!"
Ni Gaofei was confused. Tai Banxue?
While I was still confused, a voice came: "Something's happening, quick, reinforcements!"
Ni Yueshan and others looked at him strangely, then quickly followed.
In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in a room, a group of people rushed in.
As soon as I entered, I saw a woman tied up with ropes and her mouth blocked, being dragged backwards. If that wasn't Duan Gouqiong, who else could it be?
Sitting next to her was Guo, who was holding her belly. Her belly was very big, and it was obvious that she was full-term and about to give birth.
