Chapter 207 This is a miracle
Everyone knows what happened next.
The Duke of Protectorate and the Minister of Justice rushed to Wang Yiling's bedroom and captured Prince Anding red-handed.
After listening to Prince Anding's description, Wenwan's heart sank to the bottom.
To outsiders, Prince Anding first molested Wang Yiling at the banquet, which gave him a motive for committing a crime. He was the only one at the crime scene when the incident happened, so it seemed like a settled case.
"Your Highness, how many people does the general have besides the general's guards? How can I contact them?"
Hearing this, King Anding looked at her in surprise.
He didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Zhao.
"This is of great importance. Since Yu'er has given you the Patriarch's Order, I will tell you this in private."
He turned to Zhao and said, "Please step aside for a moment."
Zhao's face turned pale and blue, and a flash of humiliation flashed in her eyes. She nodded and reluctantly left the room.
Prince Anding lowered his voice and said, "The cook in your yard can help you contact the person Yu'er left in the dark."
Wen Wan: “???”
Her cook is the contact of Shen Yu's secret guards?
"Heh," Wen Wan felt her teeth itching. If Chen Yu was in front of her, she would bite him a few times to vent her anger.
I thought he was really kind enough to arrange a cook for her, but it turned out to be another secret agent?
Fortunately, she hadn't packed up and run away yet. If she had run away, she would definitely have been followed by the secret agents.
In this way, no matter where she went, she would probably not escape his eyes.
Chen Yu, ah, Chen Yu, you are worthy of being a great general, your tactics are really beautiful!
This guy has such a cruel heart that she feels ashamed of herself!

Thousands of miles away, Shen Yu sneezed several times in succession.
Kaneki handed over the kettle, "General, did you catch a cold last night?"
There were dozens of them on horseback who had been traveling non-stop for days. Now they happened to come across a water source and stopped to rest.
Shen Yu sat on a huge rock, propped up one leg, put his arm on his knee, took the water bottle handed to him by Jinmu and took a sip.
"No problem, maybe someone is talking behind my back."
Jin Mu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, "General, you are speaking more and more like Miss Xiaowan now."
When people gossip about you, you sneeze. Isn't this what Miss Xiaowan often says?
Mentioning Wen Wan, Shen Yu's eyes darkened, "Like her?"
He scoffed and shook his head, "I'm not like her. She's smart, but she's also a coward."
Jinmu was puzzled, "How is Miss Xiaowan scared?" How come he didn't notice it.
Shen Yu raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the rolling hills in the distance, his voice filled with some melancholy of being disappointed in his friends.
"There are indeed many difficulties between her and me. I really can't give her what she wants right now. But things are in our hands, and I'm not willing to just give up like this. But she's just thinking about escaping!"
He changed the subject, "But, am I someone she can just pull up her pants and deny?"
Kaneki was completely confused and didn't quite understand the rest of what he heard. He just heard the words "pull up your pants and refuse to admit it."
He stared at Shen Yu in shock.
"General... Miss Xiaowan gives you..."
Miss Xiaowan, you are really a warrior!
Shen Yu raised his hand and touched the back of his head, "Can you put something useful in your head?"
Jinmu shrank his neck in disappointment.
A black eagle soared over the crowd, but in a moment, only a small black dot remained.
Shen Yu glanced at him sharply, then retracted his gaze and patted Jin Mu's shoulder.
"Let the brothers pack up and continue on their journey. The sooner we get our things, the sooner we can return. I always feel..."
He frowned, "The situation in the imperial capital is strange, if we delay, something unexpected will happen."
Jin Mu thought he was overly worried. "With the Prince as the pillar of support in the Imperial Capital, nothing serious can happen. Besides, your secret guards are all carefully trained and will definitely be able to protect the General's Mansion."
Shen Yu remained noncommittal, "I hope so."

Lord Feng sorted out the whole story and gave each of the guards and servants in the general's mansion who had caused trouble twenty lashes of the cane.
Fortunately, after investigation, he found that the overturned tung oil lamp was not the longevity lamp lit for the Empress Dowager.
The maid who was cleaning the house accidentally placed the oil lamp in the wrong place, which just happened to avoid causing a big disaster.
It was a false alarm and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial physician happened to arrive, and Lord Feng took him to see the old lady.
As soon as the imperial physician entered the room, he saw Prince Anding helping the old lady sit up.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly, expressing their deepest feelings.
Prince Anding wiped away his non-existent tears and bowed to Lord Feng.
He said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Feng, for allowing me to return home to visit my mother. If I hadn't come back and talked to her more this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to save her life from the brink of death."
Lord Feng looked confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Prince Anding was overwhelmed with emotion. "I've always been skeptical of stories of dying people being revived by the cries of their filial sons and grandsons. But now I've seen it with my own eyes. Perhaps my mother couldn't bear to leave me, so she miraculously woke up!"
Miracle?
Lord Feng is also a smart man, and he has finally reacted by now.
Where do so many miracles come from? Most of them are probably just a good show put on by the old lady.
He turned to the imperial physician beside him and asked, "Have you ever heard of such a thing?"
The imperial physician stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said ambiguously, "There are precedents of unconscious people waking up if there are relatives talking to them."
The imperial physician's answer was not surprising.
As a doctor, he couldn't afford to offend either side, so he just went with the flow.
At this point, Lord Feng was helpless. "Forget it! Since the old lady has woken up, Your Majesty, let's return to the Dali Temple. Otherwise, if the higher-ups blame us, I can't afford to bear the consequences."
Prince Anding held the old lady's hand again and said a few touching words of filial piety before leaving with Lord Feng.

Wen Wan returned to the yard and saw Chef Zheng preparing dinner.
The chubby middle-aged chef wore a gray apron around his waist, held a cleaned chicken in his left hand, and a kitchen knife in his right hand.
With a few quick movements of the knife, the whole chicken was cut into small pieces of even size with a series of rhythmic bangs on the chopping board.
"Uncle Zheng's swordsmanship is truly amazing."
Wen Wan stood at the door with her arms folded across her chest, looking at the cook with a half-smile on her face.
Chef Zheng smiled innocently and said, "I've been practicing cooking for many years. These are just the basics, not worth mentioning."
"Oh?" Wen Wan put down her hand and walked over to Chef Zheng. "Uncle Zheng, are you sure you're practicing cooking, not martial arts?"
Upon hearing this, Chef Zheng's face froze, and then he looked as if he didn't understand.
"Auntie Wan is joking, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Wan casually took out a golden plate and played with it.
