But considering that they had no past grudges or recent conflicts with the Liu family, how could they have let Rui'er be kidnapped?
Her child!
"Who knows? I'll go to the Liu family right now and ask Liu Zongcheng for the person!" Even if Wei Jing'an was made of clay, he still had some temper.
He was already extremely upset because his son had gone missing.
The news from the Prince An's residence made his heart pound with anxiety.
He simply cannot rest easy until his son is found today.
On the main street, Xu Heming had carriages prepared and, with gongs and drums, hauled all the gold towards the palace.
"Oh my, what are these things?"
"I don't know, it's covered up very tightly. But these things were brought out of the Liu family. Could they be things that were brought into the palace for the Liu family's concubine who is a concubine there?"
"That woman is only a concubine now, right? Why all this fanfare, could it be that there's good news?"
"It's not like no other empress has ever conceived a royal heir before; there was no need to make such a fuss, was there?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's just favored by the emperor?"
"Wow, they're really stealing the limelight from the Cheng family."
The people were buzzing with discussion, all very curious about what was on the carriage.
In particular, Prince An had it sent to the palace in such a ostentatious manner.
Everyone assumed that Liu Ruyan was favored in the palace, and that the Liu family had sent these gifts to their daughter.
Some even felt that the Liu family's actions were too ostentatious, even more so than the Empress's family and the Cheng family.
Suddenly, one of the moving carriages overturned.
The onlookers stared wide-eyed at what was on the carriage, their faces filled with disbelief!
"Did you see clearly what was in that box just now?"
Although the guards quickly closed the box, many people still managed to see what was inside.
"I think I saw something yellow, golden!"
Some of the people said excitedly.
"I saw it too. Could it be that those things are actually gold?"
"If this is gold, and there are ten carriages in total, with two large chests on each carriage, how much gold would that be?"
The people were discussing this extensively.
Everyone was thinking to themselves, if the box really contained gold, then where did the gold from the Liu family come from?
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"I just saw people from the Imperial Clan Court taking the Liu family away. Could this gold be the stolen silver that the Liu family embezzled?"
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Xu Heming's lips.
From this day forward, the Liu family will cease to exist in this capital!
Royal Palace
Zhu Jingchen was reviewing the memorials in his hands, thinking that Xu Heming's trip to the Liu family should be almost over by now.
In recent years, the Liu family has been well-behaved, and Zhu Jingchen doesn't think Xu Heming can cause any trouble.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Prince An found a large amount of gold and silver in the Liu family's house, and he's currently leading those things to the palace!" Eunuch Liu rushed into the Imperial Study, panting, and reported to Zhu Jingchen without even performing the proper etiquette.
"What!"
