Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said an idea that surprised everyone present.

"I think the real prince of the previous dynasty should be someone we have met. The more blatant he is, the less likely he is to arouse suspicion. The Wei family may be an excellent breakthrough point."

After hearing what Gu Shaoyu said, Guo Xiang also expressed his agreement.

"That makes sense. They have no way to seek refuge with the Crown Prince, and they only have the insignificant Fourth Prince in their hands. I don't think that old man Wei Taiwei will give up easily. He has to give it a try anyway. If he can follow the former Crown Prince to rebel against Daxing, I'm afraid his achievements will be greater than supporting the Fourth Prince to ascend to the throne."

"Really? But his granddaughter married the Fourth Prince and gave birth to a child. How can he be so ruthless even though they are related by blood?"

When Guo Silang said this, there was also some disbelief in his expression.

Once it is confirmed that the Wei family has really surrendered to the former crown prince, it means that they have given up the fourth prince. If one day the fourth prince and his party find out, wouldn't Wei Jialian be in danger? Unfortunately, Minister Guo sneered and said.

"Look at how the Wei family rose to power, and you will know that the Wei family has no face. It has been like this for one generation, two generations, and three generations. Humph, they don't even care about face, let alone family affection."

Minister Guo pointed out the Wei family's thoughts incisively and directly, and Gu Shaoyu believed it without a doubt, so he didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

"I will personally investigate whether the Wei family has defected to the crown prince of the previous dynasty. As for the crown prince, Grandfather Guo still needs to be prepared and conduct a thorough investigation to prevent the remnants of the previous dynasty from infiltrating the Eastern Palace!"

Guo Xiang nodded and then spoke.

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter. There are only two of you, Lieutenant General Ni, so it will be difficult to investigate the Wei family's affairs. Why not use the secret guards of the East Palace?"

Prime Minister Guo also had good intentions, but Gu Shaoyu refused.

"Two people are enough. The Wei family doesn't have the ability to trap me."

Gu Shaoyu's confidence also stems from his abilities, so upon hearing this, Guo Xiang did not force him any more.

After a brief farewell, Gu Shaoyu took Ni Yang and disappeared into the dark night again. Guo Xiang stood hand in hand, watching their backs as they left, then turned to Guo Silang and gave instructions.

"Commander Jin in the Imperial Guard is one of our own. When you go there tomorrow, you will have to thoroughly investigate the matter and tell him about it. This is the last line of defense for the Imperial City and the Eastern Palace. We cannot afford any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"Grandson understands!"

The night was dark, bringing with it the chill of winter.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and the Duke's Mansion, which had been deserted for a long time, now welcomed two uninvited guests.

Gu Shaoyu was very familiar with the Duke's Mansion, so he could move around in it even in the dark night. Soon, he brought Ni Yang to Yunjin Courtyard.

Yunjin Courtyard remained the same as when they left, with no major changes.

Palace lanterns were hung everywhere, revealing a rare calmness and peace in the dark night, but this was only on the surface.

There was no one in the main house, but there seemed to be a sound coming from an inconspicuous compartment. Gu Shaoyu and Ni Yang looked at each other and moved towards that place. But when Gu Shaoyu hid in the corner and secretly looked into the house, he saw a scene that made him extremely angry.

The living quarters here don't look as good as those of the respected maids in the mansion, and no one would have thought that the Duke in the Duke's Mansion is now huddled on the bed, his eyes full of fear and terror.

He had been ill for so long that he was already skin and bones, and there were some red slap marks on his face, which showed that he had suffered inhuman abuse.

If it wasn't for the purpose of not letting the children be in mourning, Madam Wei would have sent him to the underworld to reunite with Madam Gu long ago. But at this moment, what Gu Shaoyu saw was Madam Wei slapping Shang Yukuan on the sickbed repeatedly, and even speaking with disgust in her eyes and dirty words.

"You useless thing, what else do you do all day except poop and pee in bed? I feel like my hands are dirty even if I beat you!"

Madam Wei was upset outside today, so she had no place to vent her anger when she came back, so she found Shang Yukuan. The husband whom she used to regard as the king was now just an ant at her feet, who could be stepped on to death at any time, so she felt relieved to vent her anger.

"Humph, your precious son has been thinking about opposing our Wei family and the Fourth Prince all day long. He is indeed a bastard who gave birth to a bastard. He is the same kind of bastard as his deceased grandfather from the Gu family!"

"Now, I feel much more comfortable. A death trap has been set up in Sui'an City. When he comes back, his head and body will be torn apart! Hahaha, by the way, there are also his children, who are also scum who don't deserve to live. Pick them up together and send them to the underground to reunite!"

In the corner, Gu Shaoyu clenched his fists, but his breathing remained unchanged. However, Ni Yang, who was standing next to him, could feel that his general's anger had reached its peak, and the Madam Wei inside would probably not have a good ending.

Shang Yukuan could no longer speak clearly, and after hearing this, even if he wanted to ask a few questions, he was powerless, so he could only shed tears silently, with endless regret in his heart. When he was in extreme pain, he could not help but cough a few times.

Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and Shang Yukuan knew that he would not live long.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He had wanted to die for a long time. It was extremely painful to live such a life without dignity and in torture. However, no matter how much he wanted to, he had no idea what the medicine in Mrs. Wei's hand was that always kept him alive and unable to die.

Therefore, the thought of wanting to die but being unable to do so tormented him beyond measure.

Seeing Shang Yukuan in such pain, Madam Wei felt much better. She looked at him as if he were a stink bug, and then said to the servant who was serving him.

"Throw away those dirty and smelly beddings. It will make Yunjin Courtyard smell bad and make me uncomfortable living here."

"yes."

Using a quilt as a metaphor for a person, Shang Yukuan knew very well that what Mrs. Wei meant was that he was like those dirty and smelly quilts, something that could be thrown away at will. His self-esteem was trampled on once again, and his desire to die rose again and again.

When he looked at Mrs. Wei again, his eyes became a little sharp.

Unfortunately, all that was left for him was Mrs. Wei’s departing figure and the cold cubicle, lonely and sad, just like his entire later years.

After everyone left, Lieutenant General Ni spoke softly.

"General, do you want to take the Duke away?"

With their abilities, it would not be difficult to take such a person away, but there would be trouble later. (End of this chapter)
