Chapter 1055: Will you not cry until you see the coffin?
Zhao Xian took people to the imperial mausoleum, but returned empty-handed.
"Your Highness, Gan Fu is missing."
Xiao Xixi was shocked: "Why is it gone?"
Zhao Xian answered truthfully.
"I sent people to search the entire imperial mausoleum, but could not find any trace of Gan Fu.
After asking the guards guarding the imperial mausoleum, I learned that Gan Fu fell ill two days ago.
Gan Fu had not stepped out of his room during the past two days. Everyone thought he was recuperating in his room and no one bothered him.
It was not until today that I led people to the imperial mausoleum to look for him that I discovered that he had disappeared."
Xiao Xixi: "So, Gan Fu might have run away two days ago?"
Zhao Xian: “Yes.”
Why did he choose to run away at this time, instead of earlier? Xiao Xixi couldn't believe such a coincidence. Someone must have secretly informed Gan Fu!
From this point of view, there are more suspicious points about Gan Fu!
Xiao Xixi turned her head to look at Eunuch Chang and asked.
"Do you know who else is in Ganfu's family?"
Eunuch Chang: "As far as I know, Gan Fu is an orphan, without a father or a mother. As for who else is in his family... I only know that he has a younger brother."
Xiao Xixi asked: "How much do you know about his brother?"
Eunuch Chang: "I only know that his younger brother once came to Shengjing to look for him. It was then that I learned that Gan Fu had a younger brother. After that, I never heard anyone talk about his younger brother again, and he himself never mentioned that he had a younger brother in front of others."
Xiao Xixi wanted to find out who had stolen Luo Qinghan's hair. As long as she figured it out, she could follow the clues to find the despicable person who had been hiding in the dark and plotting against Luo Qinghan!
Ganfu is a good entry point now.
Xiao Xixi issued an order in the name of the emperor, issuing a warrant for the capture of Gan Fu to the whole country, offering a high reward for the arrest of Gan Fu, and also ordered people to secretly search for information about Gan Fu's brother.
If we can find Gan Fu's younger brother, we can use him to lure Gan Fu out.
After dealing with Gan Fu's affairs, Xiao Xixi ordered someone to bring Yu Jiu over.
Eunuch Chang hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak up and remind him.
"Before Doctor Fang left, he asked someone to pass on a message to you."
Xiao Xixi: "What?"
Eunuch Chang: "Doctor Fang said Yu Jiu is a very dangerous person. Please be careful."
Of course, Xiao Xixi knew that Yu Jiu was not an easy person to deal with, but things had come to this point and she had no other choice. Even though she knew there might be a trap ahead, she had to give it a try for the sake of her beloved!
Soon Yu Jiu was brought to Xiao Xixi.
The transformation poison on Yu Jiu's body has lost its effect, and he has returned to his male appearance. He has a delicate and handsome face, a slightly pale complexion, and a kind of feminine beauty that is difficult to distinguish between male and female.
His acupoints were still sealed, so he couldn't use his internal energy, and his limbs were weak due to the loose cartilage.
But even so, Zhao Xian still ordered people to put shackles on his hands and feet.
As soon as the guards let go, Yu Jiu collapsed to the ground like mud. He tugged at the heavy chain hanging on his wrist, raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Xixi, and said lazily.
"My Lady, long time no see."
Baoqin frowned and scolded, "How dare you! You don't even show respect to the Imperial Concubine!"
Zhao Xian immediately dragged Yu Jiu up from the ground.
He twisted one of Yu Jiu's arms behind his back, and with his other hand pressed the back of Yu Jiu's neck, pressing down hard, forcing Yu Jiu to kneel down and salute the imperial concubine.
Yu Jiu knew that he could not resist, so he simply gave up and knelt down under the force.
He sneered: "If the Imperial Concubine wants me to kneel, she only needs to say it. There is no need to make such an effort."
Xiao Xixi: "You should know what situation you are in now. If you don't want to suffer, don't play tricks."
Yu Jiu sighed in a pretentious manner: "I am the fish on the chopping board, what tricks can I play?"
Xiao Xixi didn't want to waste time talking to him.
She asked Zhao Xian to let Yu Jiu go, and said straight to the point: "I know that you are the son of the Tianmen Sect Master. Now the Tianmen Sect Master is missing. Do you know where he went?"
Yu Jiu sat on the ground and said casually, "Sorry, I don't know."
Xiao Xixi: "You won't cry until you see the coffin?"
Yu Jiu: "I'm telling the truth. I really don't know where my father ran off to. They ran away in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to inform me."
Xiao Xixi stared at him: "Don't you have any prior agreement? For example, if you are separated by an accident, there must be a place or a way to meet each other."
Yu Jiu said slowly.
“We did agree on a way to meet.
But my father already knows that I have been arrested. Even if I tell you how to meet him, he won’t be fooled.
He might even use this opportunity to trick you."
Xiao Xixi pursed her lips and said, "But you are his son after all. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He can't just ignore your life and death, right?"
Yu Jiu smiled with an ambiguous tone.
"I am just his adopted son. There is no blood relationship between him and me."
Seeing Xiao Xixi's skeptical look, he continued.
“To be honest, he has many adopted sons like me.
Do you know why my name is nine?
Just because I am his ninth adopted son.
Even without me, he still has other sons.
One more or one less makes no difference.
So I can tell you very clearly that my father doesn't care whether I live or die.
Even if you cut me into pieces, he won't show up."
Xiao Xixi frowned slightly, obviously not expecting such a secret.
She asked, "Then you should have a lot of brothers, right?"
Yu Jiu sneered and said disdainfully: "They and I are not brothers. At most, they and I are just puppies locked in the same cage."
Xiao Xixi nodded seriously to express her appreciation: "Your analogy is very appropriate."
Yu Jiu: “…”
Suddenly I was implied.
Yu Jiu curled the corner of his mouth and sneered.
"For unwanted pups like us, it's enough to have a place to stay. Unlike the Imperial Concubine, even if your father doesn't love you and your mother doesn't care about you, there are still so many people willing to treat you like a treasure."
Xiao Xixi was not distracted by his words and continued to ask, "Don't you want to go find your parents and family?"
Yu Jiu laughed out loud as if he had heard a funny joke.
"Haha, Your Majesty, that's easy for you to say. I don't even know who my parents are, how can I find them?
Even if I find them, what can I do?
Can they make all my past twenty years of experience a blank?"
Xiao Xixi: "They can't erase your past, but they can give you a better future."
Yu Jiu curled his lips and sneered: "What future can a stray dog have?"
