Hua Wuxin didn't know how he knew her location. Wang Ruo saw him coming to disturb her and raised her foot, just about to jump off the cliff, but subconsciously stopped because of his words: "I just received some interesting news, do you want to hear it?"
Wang Ruo rolled her eyes at him and asked nonchalantly, "Oh, how interesting is that?"
Hua Wuxin said seriously, "It's so interesting that even your good nephew would want to know something about it."
Wang Ruo saw that the man didn't look like he was joking, so he turned around and replied with the same expression: "...The military camp is busy, I'll have someone call him back later."
After dinner, Tang Chen arranged for everyone to arrive one after another, except Wang Yanzhou. When he returned with Zhong Qin and the others, Tang Chen had already fallen asleep on the recliner.
As the east dawned, Hua Wuxin saw that everyone was present and gave them a brief account of the news he had received. Of course, sometimes, it wasn't Tang Chen's intention to interrupt, but rather what the person said made her have to interrupt.
“You, what did you say, Qinghe and Mr. Ouyang are gone!”
Hua Wuxin usually hates being interrupted when he is speaking, but Wang Ruo felt that something was wrong with his actions today.
Not only was this person not angry, he was even able to patiently explain to Tang Chen. This kind of treatment was only enjoyed by Jiang Ling back then. Even she was disliked for interrupting him. It was really strange.
Hua Wuxin said, "Yes. It seems that Lord Zhang had already noticed something was wrong, so he sent a message for Lian Xin to return. However, Lian Xin encountered various attempts by people from Tianshu Tower to stop her along the way, so she was unable to reunite with Lord Zhang."
Tang Chen's heart was suddenly in a knot. Lian Qiao was gone because of her. If Lian Xin got into trouble again, how would she explain it to Lian Qiao in the afterlife? "What about Lian Xin? Didn't she go back to find Qing He? Is she okay?"
Hua Wuxin replied, "The two people I sent to accompany her got separated from her, but later my people spotted her outside the city. If my guess is correct, she should be going into the city to gather information."
Mo Yu questioned Hua Wuxin's explanation, "Should it be?"
Hua Wuxin also didn't like to say things that he wasn't completely sure of, but given the current situation, he didn't know how much time would be wasted if he had to verify the information before sending it back.
"Qinghe County is surrounded by the Imperial Army, and people entering and leaving are severely restricted. It's good that this news can get out. Don't forget that although the black market intelligence network has left, Tianshu Tower is not invincible with the support of the Xiahou family and two generations of Liang emperors."
Wang Yanzhou, who had been listening carefully to Hua Wuxin's words, finally spoke up, "So how confident are you that you can find them now?"
Hua Wuxin held his forehead with his hand and sighed, saying, "It's hard to say. The news I received today arrived almost simultaneously. If we calculate based on past times, these things should have happened about half a month before I received the news."
To be honest, Tang Chen still couldn't accept that Emperor Gan Zhao ordered the imperial guards to do that to the Princess's Mansion. "Isn't Tianshu Lou a close confidant of Emperor Gan Zhao? Qinghe said that Emperor Gan Zhao would never kill her."
Hua Wuxin nodded slightly and said, "Emperor Gan Zhao certainly wouldn't do that. I guess even he doesn't know the whole story."
Mo Yu had no interest in other matters, but he had an unfinished promise to Emperor Gan Zhao. "Why?"
Hua Wuxin continued, explaining, "Ever since Emperor Gan Zhao became seriously ill, he has handed over all government affairs to the Crown Prince and appointed four regents to assist him. The power of managing the harem subsequently fell to Lin Zirong. Emperor Gan Zhao rarely comes out, and seeing him is not easy."
Li Xinzhai glanced at Mo Yu and said bluntly, "But this doesn't prove that he didn't instruct Tianshu Tower to do these things. A man like him who would abandon his wife and children for power is capable of anything."
Hua Wuxin glanced at Li Xinzhai with some confusion, then cleared his throat, preparing to announce the next explosive news: "... Emperor Gan Zhao seems to have passed away a while ago. Xiahou Qing and Lin Zirong hid the body in the bedroom, keeping it a secret. Emperor Gan Zhao has rarely appeared in public recently, so the outside world knows nothing about this matter."
Mo Yu stood up immediately, grabbed Hua Wuxin by the collar and asked, "Where did you get this news? Are you sure it's accurate?"
Hua Wuxin looked at Li Xinzhai as if asking for help and said, "Brother Mo, don't get too excited. The black market is all about selling information. I naturally have my own connections, but I'm just not comfortable revealing them."
After Li Xinzhai pulled Mo Yu back to his seat, Wang Yanzhou immediately started asking questions from the audience: "What about Yao Ji? How is the prince doing now?"
After Wang Ruo handed Hua Wuxin a glass of water, Hua Wuxin continued, "The Crown Prince is currently under house arrest in the Eastern Palace. My people can't contact him for the time being."
Li Xinzhai patted Mo Yu's shoulder vigorously and tried to press him down on his stool. He couldn't help but sigh, "What does it mean to have wolfish ambitions and raise a tiger to cause trouble? I have now seen it."
Wang Ruo concluded, "Now that Emperor Gan Zhao has passed away, the Crown Prince is under house arrest, and Princess Shuyang and Princess Qinghe are missing, the power of government has completely fallen into Xiahou Qing's hands. I just don't know what he will do next."
Tianshu Tower was built upon the strength of Wang Yanzhou's father. Under the control of Emperor Qian Zhao, although his position was low, his power reached its peak. From any perspective, Xiahou Qing should never have done such a treasonous act: "Logically speaking, the Xiahou clan would never betray the imperial family..."
How could Hua Wuxin possibly know about such a thing? He was only responsible for providing intelligence, not analysis. "By the way, didn't you ask the black market to help you find out the secret behind the piece of paper that Huayue Tower left for you?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen couldn't help but shudder: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it, but what's the result?"
Hua Wuxin was also an honest man. When asked about the result, he simply gave the answer: "The tavern mentioned on the menu is a little-known place in Qinghe County. Xiahou Qing is a regular there..."
Li Xinzhai interrupted, "Wait, if I remember correctly, the intelligence you gave me at the time didn't mention finding Xiahou Qing. Besides, isn't he known as the Thousand Faces Young Master? How can you be sure that the person you know is him?"
