Chapter 482: Powerful Scandal
Two days later, in the early morning, eight horses set out from the Chen Kingdom's capital and headed for Qingyun Imperial City.
As the eight people set out, Zhuo Yu's falcon also set out.
Three days later, Jun Huolan received a note from Zhuo Yu in Prince Lan's Mansion, and learned that Zhuo Hongli and Song Qian had brought six people to Qingyun.
They will travel as quickly as possible and should arrive in ten days. Let Jun Huolan and Mo Yunzhu be prepared.
Then he saw the small words at the bottom which said that Chen Tianqi's son was born to a slave girl.
The notes that Falcon can carry cannot be too big, so the words are all in tiny handwriting, but fortunately Jun Huolan can see them clearly.
After reading it, he laughed.
Mo Yunzhu walked in and saw him smiling happily. She asked curiously, "Prince, what good news did you receive?"
"Ju'er, you got it right. Zhuo Hongli and Song Qian are on their way. They are expected to arrive in ten days."
Mo Yunzhu's eyes lit up instantly and said, "Great, then we can't let them into the city. These two old dogs are insidious and despicable. I'm afraid they will use our relatives and friends to threaten us, so we have to deal with them outside the city."
Jun Huolan nodded and said, "At a distance of ten days, they will definitely pass Wulipo. We will start from there."
"Your Highness, you don't have to go. Leave this time to me." Mo Yunzhu raised the corner of her mouth with a sinister smile.
Jun Huolan said: "My leg is not a big deal, but I will just go and plunder the enemy. I will not attack them. I will arrange our people so that they will not be able to return."
"That's fine. My strength has improved by leaps and bounds, while the other two are declining. I estimate that they will have to consume some energy on the way. If they decline faster, they can only maintain 60% of their original strength. I should be able to fight them, right?"
"Jules, you are the martial arts miracle I have ever seen. How can someone start martial arts so late and still succeed? And you can open up your Ren and Du meridians on your own. Your progress is higher than others who have practiced for ten years. It's incredible."
"Hehe, don't you see who I am!" Mo Yunzhu has been practicing martial arts every day recently, and her strength has improved by leaps and bounds. She also feels that her body has become lighter and her skin has become better.
Internal strength is indeed a good thing, just like Jun Huolan’s own internal strength was able to heal his foot injury very quickly. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but he was actually able to get out of bed seven days after the operation. Of course, full recovery takes time.
Now ten days have passed, and he actually doesn't feel that there is any problem. He doesn't need to put effort on this foot and it's okay for him to continue limping a little, but Mo Yunzhu insisted that he rest.
He also practices martial arts whenever he has free time every day to help his injured foot heal faster.
Jun Huolan looked at Mo Yunzhu's confident expression, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
"Are you sure we're going to ambush at Wulipo?" Jun Huolan asked.
"Well, Wulipo is only one day away from the imperial city. They must be very tired after traveling in such a hurry. Now is the best time to take action." Mo Yunzhu's eyes were full of cunning.
As soon as Chen Guo, Zhuo Hongli and Song Qianyi left, Zhuo Yu and Xu Haoqin immediately took action against the secret forces behind them.
In order to cover up his actions, the assassins of Tianji Pavilion directly killed Fan Dahu, the richest man in Chen State, who was also the father of Fan Fengze and Fan Mingzhu.
When this incident broke out, the court officials were shocked, and Fan Mingzhu was even more shocked. He didn't know why his father was assassinated.
She thought about the woman her father had met before. She had given that woman so much money. Did she still want to kill her to silence her?
But what she didn't know was that Fan Dahu's death was caused by Tianji Pavilion targeting Fan Fengze. Because of Fan Dahu, it would never be Fan Fengze's turn to be the head of the Fan family.
After being frightened by Mo Yunzhu before, Fan Fengze had a blind trust in Tianji Pavilion when he knew that they were Mo Yunzhu's friends.
No one knew Mo Yunzhu's cunning and ruthlessness better than him.
The result of her discussion with Zhuo Yu was that they had to control the richest family, Fan, and not let him become the money bag of the Third Prince, that is, the treasury of the new emperor.
Fan Fengze was already very dissatisfied with his father Fan Dahu, and since he was unwilling to accept this, it was natural that they hit it off.
Therefore, with the help of Fan Fengze, Fan Dahu was assassinated in Fan Mansion.
As a city guard, Cheng Linhan came to Fan Mansion to check it out first and found that all the plans were foolproof.
Fan Dahu received an old sachet, which was obviously a woman's.
And judging from the embroidery, it must have come from the royal family.
There were rumors that Fan Dahu had offended the royal family and was probably having an affair with a royal woman, so he was killed by the royal family to silence him.
Otherwise, in the entire Chen Kingdom's imperial capital, who has the ability and courage to kill Fan Dahu, the richest man in the country?
When Fan Mingzhu saw the sachet, she revealed the fact that her father had met a woman at night, which seemed to confirm everyone's guess.
Emperor Chen Yan also soon learned about this.
When he finally found out that the woman who was having an affair with Fan Dahu was his eldest sister, the princess, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
"How could this be? Fan Dahu and my sister? Fan Mingzhu is also my cousin?" Chen Yan was about to faint.
Especially since he had just found out that his bloodline was not pure, and now this kind of thing happened, he instantly felt disgusted with his imperial sister and the Fan family.
When the eldest princess' husband learned about this, he was shocked and furious. Thinking back to the time when the eldest princess went to a villa in the suburbs to recuperate, and that was when she gave birth to Fan Mingzhu, he was so angry that he beat the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was powerless to refute. Although Fan Dahu had raped her, he also helped her. Her father knew about this. He used this incident to get her in touch with the Fan family again and collect money from them.
The rise of the Fan family was thanks to the help of Chen Tianqi and Zhuo Hongli.
The Fan family was able to rise to prominence because of this incident.
The royal scandal spread throughout the imperial capital in a short time, exhausting the new emperor Chen Yan. He was especially frightened, fearing that the scandal of their lineage would also be exposed.
He asked people to start monitoring Eunuch Zhong, but Eunuch Zhong was always in the library and there was no other movement, which made him feel a little relieved.
Eunuch Zhong went out of the palace and met Zhuo Yu. As soon as he saw Zhuo Yu's face, Eunuch Zhong recognized that he was Chen Yunci.
Zhuo Yu actually didn't know that such an old man existed, and he should be the only one who could prove his identity.
At the same time, there are more and more reports in the imperial capital that Chen Yunci is still alive and will come back for revenge.
Emperor Chen Yan has been suffering from insomnia every night recently. He doesn't know what's wrong with him, but he can't fall asleep. Even the medicine from the Imperial Hospital is useless, making him very irritable.
Several concubines died in the harem. They were killed by Chen Yan when he was angry at night, and the servants and palace maids also suffered the consequences.
Lin Zhan looked at the changes in the emperor and secretly sneered in his eyes. Everything was within the calculations of the little princess and the little prince.
