Shao Lecheng walked away without stopping and without looking back.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
"To be able to keep Gou Qiong Shen in the Prime Minister's residence without anyone noticing, there must be an insider in the Prime Minister's residence."
Prime Minister's Mansion, an insider?
Ni Yueshan frowned tightly, vaguely guessing something.
She took Jing Yuchen to Yi Wenxuan's room. There was no one in Yi Wenxuan's room. Ni Yueshan began to search around. Jing Yuchen asked curiously, "What are you looking for? Whose room is this?"
"Yi Wenxuan, some time ago, he returned to Xianchang and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to continue working as a housekeeper. At that time, I thought that if he didn't do anything bad, he would come back, so I didn't tell my father about his affairs."
"But now that something happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have no choice but to suspect him."
While still speaking, Ni Yueshan saw the rope scattered on the ground, bent down and picked it up.
Jing Yuchen frowned and said, "This room belongs to him. Now that I don't see anyone here, do you suspect that he is the one who kidnapped Gou Qiong?"
Ni Yueshan nodded. "If it's really him, he lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion to hide from others and hide Gou Qiong there. If we search every street and alley, we will definitely miss the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"However, after Shao Lecheng led his troops here, he deliberately moved people to Guo's room. What was his purpose?"
Guo's room was not a must-pass place when leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they rushed into Guo's room. If they wanted to use Guo to threaten others, and let him go, the two thieves could easily hold Guo hostage and Duan Gouqiong hostage respectively.
But the other party didn't. Was he deliberately trying to lure people there and then completely put the blame on the Prime Minister's Mansion?
The Prime Minister's Mansion has no grudge against Yi Wenxuan and Tu Fan.
"To sow discord." Jing Yuchen said with certainty.
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered. Maybe, that's right.
Jing Yuchen walked out: "I'm going to seal off the entire city and search for Yi Wenxuan."
Ni Yueshan did not stop her and went to the delivery room to see Guo.
I was originally worried that Guo would have a miscarriage because of this incident and what would happen?
But from a distance, she actually heard the crying of a child. Ni Yueshan walked over quickly, feeling very happy.
At the door, Ni Gaofei was holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, rocking and coaxing the baby.
Ni Yueshan stepped forward quickly, "Dad, is it born?"
Ni Gaofei changed his previous serious expression and nodded: "Yes, it's a boy!"
Ni Yueshan was very happy and stretched out her hand, "Let me hug you!"
Ni Yueshan looked very experienced. She held the child and rocked him, "Little brother! From now on, I will protect you."
At this time, Shao Lecheng had already arrived at the palace and told Miao Qinghua everything that happened today.
Miao Qinghua had thought about the truth behind Duan Gouqiong's disappearance, but she never imagined that it was Ni Gaofei who did it.
"Is Gou Qiong okay?" Miao Qinghua asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Gou Qiong was only frightened, not hurt. It was the Prime Minister who did this. He doesn't take the Prince's Mansion seriously. Gou Qiong represents the marriage between Cang Lie and Xian Chang. What he did is equivalent to trying to tear up the alliance."
"Empress Dowager, you must make the decision for the Prince's Palace!" Shao Lecheng's words were sincere, like a child who was acting coquettishly to an adult.
"Gou Qiong is really wronged. What about Ke'er? Is she okay?"
"I have been busy with Gou Qiong's affairs. I asked the servants in the mansion to pick her up. She should be back with Gou Qiong now. Queen Mother, I leave the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion in your hands. I will withdraw now!"
As soon as Shao Lecheng left, Miao Qinghua said, "Someone come—"
Soon a palace maid came over and asked, "Empress Dowager, what do you want me to do?"
"Bring the officials from the Three Departments here to me. I have something important to discuss with them."
After Shao Lecheng returned to the Prince's Mansion, he immediately went to see Duan Gouqiong. Duan Gouqiong immediately stood up when he saw Shao Lecheng and threw himself into his arms: "Lecheng, how is the matter going? Have you caught the thief?"
"I just went to the palace and asked the Queen Mother to take care of it for you. As for the thief, you and I both know him!"
As he spoke, he pulled Duan Gouqiong and sat down to the side, letting Duan Gouqiong lean against his chest. Duan Gouqiong was well-behaved this time, leaning against him quietly, and asked in confusion, "We all know each other? Who is that?"
"Yi Wenxuan."
Duan Gouqiong looked at Shao Lecheng in surprise, "I was at the Prime Minister's residence and didn't see him. How did you know it was him?"
Shao Lecheng patiently explained: "He used the art of disguise. If the human skin mask had not fallen off when we fought him, we would not have discovered it was him."
Duan Gouqiong looked confused: "Then why did he lock me up in the Prime Minister's residence? It shouldn't be the Prime Minister who ordered it. Could it be Qiu Yuanrong?"
As he spoke, Duan Gouqiong punched down, and Shao Lecheng couldn't help but groan. Duan Gouqiong had just hit his leg.
Duan Gouqiong quickly apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Shao Lecheng pushed Duan Gouqiong's forehead with his hand in anger: "These are all speculations. As the Prime Minister, he was completely unaware of his own people doing such things. Who would believe it if he told others?"
Duan Gouqiong fell silent and said nothing.
Shao Lecheng stood up and said, "Go and have a good rest first. I'll go catch the person first. Don't let him get away."
Duan Gouqiong nodded obediently, "Okay."
After Shao Lecheng left, he went to find Zou Yangyao.
Duan Gouqiong's men were found, and those who were searching withdrew their troops. Shao Lecheng went to General Zou's residence, but Zou Yangyao was not there. After he inquired, the guard replied, "They took the men to the Prime Minister's residence."
"People?" Shao Lecheng looked at the person who spoke suspiciously.
The guard honestly replied, "I heard it was the thief who kidnapped the princess."
Zou Yangyao caught the man, but instead of reporting to the Prince's Mansion, he took him to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This means that her heart is with the Prime Minister's Mansion, not his!
Shao Lecheng narrowed his eyes and turned to walk towards the Prime Minister's residence.
In the prime minister's residence, because Guo gave birth to the child successfully, the prime minister was seriously injured, but fortunately his life was not in danger. Ni Gaofei was relieved and followed Ni Yueshan, Jing Yuchen and Zou Yangyao to interrogate the captured people.
Yi Wenxuan was obviously beaten badly, his face was covered with bruises and a little swollen, but it did not affect his recognition.
Ni Yueshan looked at him and said coldly, "Even if we weren't friends at first, we weren't enemies either. But you gave us such a big gift."
Jing Yuchen and Ni Gaofei sat in their seats with serious expressions. When they looked at him, he felt more and more breathless.
Zou Yangyao stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, not saying a word.
Feeling immense pressure, Yi Wenxuan remained silent. Ni Yueshan was a little annoyed by his unwillingness to cooperate. She asked again, "The Imperial Observatory will point the direction to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is one of yours, right?"
