Chapter 454: No smoke without fire
Zhuo Yu asked Yuan Qing to bring a message, telling her not to worry, as Zhuo Hongli was keeping an eye on her.
Zhuo Hongli's men were also being recruited by him.
As long as she doesn't leave the palace, it will be inconvenient for Zhuo Hongli to find her.
Mo Yunzhu calmed down and continued to study poisons and cultivate her inner strength.
During this period, Princess Changxiang came to see Mo Yunzhu and told her a piece of news.
She told others about the three pieces of blood jade, and also spread the news that the four pieces contained a secret.
It was so mysterious that people in the imperial capital were all asking about these four pieces of blood jade.
However, after knowing that it belonged to the royal family, many people gave up the idea, but many people guessed that the Blood Dragon Jade should be in the hands of Chen Tianlu's lineage.
It was also reported that Chen Tianlu's youngest son, Chen Yunci, should still be alive.
The entire Chen State was once again in an uproar because of this incident, and Chen Tianlu's people were all looking for news everywhere.
Some of them rebelled and followed Chen Tianqi, but some were forced to surrender, and some were hiding in the dark.
When the young prince disappeared, many people said that he was dead, but since his body was not found, many people believed that the young prince was not dead and that he would return to Chen State one day to seek revenge.
But no matter where these people stand, they all want to find Chen Tianci.
Some wanted to find him and kill him, after all, if he didn't die, the traitors would have to die.
Of course, there is another side, which is the hope to restore order in the Chen Kingdom and let the true royal bloodline return to Chen Tianlu's lineage.
Even if the two are brothers, there is an order of seniority and they must follow the rules of their ancestors, unless the elder brother does not meet the emperor's requirements or voluntarily gives up the throne.
On this day, Zhuo Yu came to Zhuo Hongli's room.
"Godfather, have you heard the rumors outside?"
Zhuo Hongli was in good spirits, and he had two new followers around him, one named Lu Hu and the other Su Tian, both of whom came from Wanqing Mountain.
These two people were indeed trained by Zhuo Hongli. They were older than Zhuo Yu. Zhuo Yu had met these two people when he was practicing, but he never saw them again after he was singled out.
However, the strength of these two people is far inferior to that of the four elders.
Zhuo Hongli was also helpless. The people around him had to be people he trusted, so he could only transfer them from Wan Qingshan’s old nest.
They also called Zhuo Yu "Young Master".
Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "I heard it, but I don't know where it came from. This news should be unreliable."
"Foster father, there is no smoke without fire. If Chen Yunci is really fine and has the Blood Dragon Jade on him, would he go find Princess Changxiang and collect all four jades?
I'm really curious about what secrets are hidden after the four jades are gathered together."
Zhuo Hongli narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhuo Yu.
He thought that Zhuo Yu didn't know that he was Chen Yunci, and that he had been adopted by him since he was a child, but he had never seen him have any blood dragon jade.
So where did the blood dragon jade go?
Did he fall off before I adopted him?
After all, he was just a little beggar at that time and could not hide anything on his body. Could he have hidden it in the land temple back then?
The four pieces of royal blood jade were given by the Empress Dowager, so the secret behind the four pieces of jade might have been left by the Emperor.
Then such a secret must be very important, important enough to possibly overthrow the Chen Kingdom.
"It must be a big secret, but I've never heard of it, and I don't know if it's true or not."
“But the story of the four pieces of blood jade is true. People also say that two of the pieces belonged to Chen Tianlu and his wife, and two belonged to Princess Kun and her husband.
Now all four are gone, the royal family has taken back three pieces, but the Blood Dragon Jade is missing."
Zhuo Hongli looked at him dimly and said, "If Chen Yunci really has the Blood Dragon Jade, he would go to find Princess Changxiang. He must want to know the secret, too."
Zhuo Hongli immediately thought of a possibility. Maybe Zhuo Yu's blood dragon jade was lost when he was a child and was picked up by someone.
No matter who An is, as long as he has it with him, he will probably be unable to resist taking it out after hearing the news.
Even if it is not for secrets, it can be for wealth, unless one is a person with no desires.
"Then should we keep an eye on the princess's mansion?" Zhuo Yu asked.
Zhuo Hongli thought for a moment and said, "I'll take care of this."
Zhuo Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get some money."
Zhuo Hongli asked Zhuo Yu to transport all the silver stored in Wanyao Pavilion of the other four countries to Chen State.
After all, there are now quite a few of Chen's own people coming into the country, and they have to be taken care of first.
To Zhuo Yu, many of these people were already his own people, so he was naturally very enthusiastic about being able to support them with the money from Wanyao Pavilion.
The team he and Jun Huolan have in the imperial capital is growing larger and larger. Although it is not intended to fight against the royal army, once they take action, they will at least be able to fight against the royal forces within the imperial capital.
For example, the forest guards, the city defense troops, and various officials.
They have been inserting their own people here and inciting them to become their own people.
After all, many of their elders were once descendants of Chen Tianlu.
After Zhuo Yu left, Zhuo Hongli's face became gloomy.
"Lu Hu, go to the land temple on Changshou Street and look for the blood dragon jade. Chen Yunshi once stayed there, so maybe it was dropped there. Look carefully.
Su Tian, find someone to keep an eye on Princess Changxiang and see if anyone has brought the Blood Dragon Jade to Princess Changxiang."
Although the two were very surprised, they didn't ask any more questions. They just clasped their fists in agreement and left quickly.
Zhuo Hongli sat down and tapped his fingers.
Calculating the time, Mo Yunzhu hasn't left the palace for a week. Hasn't she poisoned Song Gou yet?
If it is downloaded, the news will definitely spread.
Did Mo Yunzhu not find an opportunity to poison her? Or did Song Gou not appear in front of Mo Yunzhu?
Should he go see the Emperor?
Thinking of this, he immediately went back to his house to change his clothes, then got on a carriage and went directly to the outside of the palace.
After taking out the gold medal, the guards did not dare to stop and let Zhuo Hongli get out of the car and walk in by himself, of course with guards leading the way for him.
Along the way, some eunuchs felt that Zhuo Hong was a stranger when they saw him, but they didn't say much.
Someone with ulterior motives will tell Emperor Chen Yan that the person holding the gifted gold medal is not a simple person after all.
Chen Tianqi and Song Qian also received the news that Zhuo Hongli had entered the palace.
Song Qian curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer. It seemed that Mo Yunzhu would not leave the palace, and he was worried.
"Someone come here!" Song Qian called out immediately.
The servant came in.
"Go and call Miss Mo over, and tell her that Master Zhuo is here to see the Emperor, and hurry up."
The servant took the order and ran.
After Mo Yunzhu received the news, she immediately set off, thinking about how to let Zhuo Hongli know that Song Qian had told her some secrets.
Let the hatred between the two old dogs deepen.
And it’s time to administer the poison to Mr. Lan.
After getting off the plane, she had to secretly return to Qingyun.
Time will be the only thing that matters next. Zhuo Yu's power will grow as the power of the two old guys weakens.
As one thing grows stronger, the other loses. She believes that revenge is not far away.
