Chapter 731 Gathering - Imprisonment
"Miss, what did Sister Mingyu say?"
Yu Fei knew something was wrong as soon as she saw Gu Shuyan's expression.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan slowly put down the letter, then looked at the three of them and said, "The Crown Prince Wei has suddenly joined forces with court officials to accuse the Crown Prince of abusing his power for personal gain and harming loyal officials. The Crown Prince Wei has been confined to the Eastern Palace."
For the past few days, Yun Yichen had been waiting for news from both countries. He thought that Crown Prince Wei, with his many years of management and being the emperor's most trusted and relied-upon son, was the least of his worries.
But who would have thought that even the State of Wei would encounter such a situation?
"I suspect that the Emperor of Wei may be controlled by the Crown Prince of Wei."
Wu Yin's face showed no expression, but her heart was in turmoil.
Why do you say that?
Gu Shuyan knew very little about the State of Wei, and Yun Yichen had hardly ever mentioned anything about Wei to her, so even after reading Mingyu's letter, Gu Shuyan couldn't analyze anything.
However, Wu Yin is different. She has been under Yun Yichen's command for so many years. Even if I haven't been involved, I probably know some things that she doesn't.
As expected, when Gu Shuyan asked, Wuyin immediately explained, "I stayed in the capital of Wei for more than a year. At that time, I worked under the Crown Prince of Wei. I would not say that I knew everything about the royal family, but I was very clear about the emperor's favoritism towards the Crown Prince."
"So you think that the Emperor of Wei is controlled by the eldest prince of Wei, which is why he imprisoned the crown prince?"
Gu Shuyan immediately understood what Wuyin meant. Although she didn't know what Wuyin's basis was, she believed that Wuyin wouldn't lie to her about such a matter.
"Do you think the Crown Prince would be in danger if Emperor Wei were truly under control?"
Compared to Bai Moqin being imprisoned, Gu Shuyan was naturally more worried about his life safety.
Wu Yin really hadn't thought of such a complicated problem, but given the extent to which the eldest prince hated the crown prince, he might actually take action against the crown prince.
Wuyin nodded firmly and said, "Very likely."
The silence only made Gu Shuyan more agitated. If everything was really as they guessed, then this matter would be troublesome.
Gu Shuyan pondered for a moment, then hurriedly asked Yufei to bring her a pen and ink.
With her pen nib swiftly drawing graceful arcs on the paper, Gu Shuyan quickly finished writing a letter and handed it to Pearl.
Then another note with only a few words was quickly put into a small bamboo tube.
"Send the letter to the frontier, and remember to deliver it to Brother Wenxuan personally. Send this bamboo tube to Wei as quickly as possible; Mingyu and the others will know what to do when they see it."
Pearl listened to Gu Shuyan's instructions, tightened her grip on the letter and bamboo tube, nodded solemnly, and left.
After Pearl left, Gu Shuyan did not stop there, but looked at Wuyin and continued, "Get ready, we will go to see Miss Sun tonight."
Wu Yin knew that the matter might concern the life or death of Crown Prince Wei, so she immediately went down to make preparations.
After Gu Shuyan had finished arranging things, Yun Yichen returned from court.
Seeing Gu Shuyan standing by the door waiting for him as always, Yun Yichen's gaze immediately softened.
He quickly stepped forward to help Gu Shuyan up, repeating the words he had said countless times, "It's so hot, don't come out to wait for me anymore."
Even so, I felt incredibly warm inside because someone was waiting for me.
"I've prepared your favorite dishes today, so eat plenty later."
Gu Shuyan did not answer Yun Yichen's question, but let him help her walk into the house.
The couple sat down together, and the food that had been prepared in advance was brought to the table. Yun Yichen personally served Gu Shuyan some food while saying, "I saw the Fourth Prince this morning."
Did he say anything to you?
Gu Shuyan pressed for more details, but Yun Yichen shook his head.
“He didn’t say anything, and he didn’t even look me in the eye. In the past few weeks, even when he was unable to talk to me, he would not have avoided me like this, so I guess that what he said in the letter is mostly true.”
After hearing Yun Yichen's words, Gu Shuyan originally did not intend to tell him about Mingyu's letter right now.
But at this moment, Gu Shuyan dared not delay any longer.
If they were really preparing to take action, the sooner Yun Yichen knew, the sooner he could prepare. Otherwise, by the time things actually happened, it might be too late.
Gu Shuyan had someone bring Mingyu's letter. Seeing Gu Shuyan's serious expression, Yun Yichen put down his chopsticks and quickly opened the envelope.
Suddenly, Yun Yichen stood up from the stool and looked at Gu Shuyan, "Is this all true?"
Gu Shuyan nodded. This letter was written by Mingyu herself and was sent back by their own people, so its credibility was beyond question.
"I'm afraid it's not just Mo Qin, Yun Zhi is also in grave danger."
As he spoke, Yun Yichen immediately called Zhong Lin in and then instructed, "Immediately gather our troops and split them into two groups to head towards Wei and Jin."
Yun Yichen's expression was unusually anxious. Although Zhong Lin knew it was inappropriate to speak now, he couldn't help but say, "Master, if both princes are really in trouble, our people can save one, but to save both, I'm afraid even with the help of the two princes' people, it will still be difficult."
Although they have maintained contact points over the years, those people at most know some martial arts. Traveling such a long distance to rescue them is only a matter of luck if they don't encounter pursuers. If they do encounter pursuers, it will be extremely difficult.
Yun Yichen was well aware of this, but what could he do in this situation? How could he possibly ignore them?
“All of you should go to the State of Jin!” Gu Shuyan suddenly said.
She knew that Yun Yichen would not abandon either of them, so she immediately sent a letter to Ji Wenxuan, asking Wuyin to prepare to see Sun Ruoyun.
"Shushu?"
Yun Yichen didn't understand what Gu Shuyan meant by those words. Given Gu Shuyan's understanding of him, she should know what he was thinking.
But now Gu Shuyan is sending everyone to Jin. What are Mo Qin and the others supposed to do?
Gu Shuyan noticed Yun Yichen's confusion and quickly explained, "I have already made arrangements in Wei, so don't worry. I will definitely find a way to ensure the safety of the Crown Prince and the Emperor of Wei."
Gu Shuyan didn't just mention saving Bai Moqin; she also mentioned the Emperor Wei.
Yun Yichen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly found its anchor. Sure enough, Gu Shuyan was no ordinary woman; she understood him and knew how to analyze things.
"Then everything is entrusted to Shushu."
As Yun Yichen spoke, he bowed deeply to Gu Shuyan. At this moment, Gu Shuyan was not only his wife, but also his comrade-in-arms who fought alongside him and shared his joys and sorrows.
After nightfall, Zhong Lin led 90% of Yun Yichen's entourage to the State of Jin.
