Chapter 478 Going to Pick Up Someone Outside the City
While Du Zhihuan was busy giving the Du family the pills to obey her orders, Wen Can entered the Jiang Mansion.
"Sister Yu was killed in Luming Mountain?!"
When Jiang Yunwan heard the bad news from Wen Can, she had a miscarriage and fainted!
"Ah! Sister-in-law, you're mistaken. Caiwei, go call Bai Luoheng."
Upon receiving the letter, Jiang Youya rushed to Furong Garden with his son and grandson in a panic.
When Jiang Youya saw Jiang Yunwan’s pale face, his heart ached.
Not only worried that my daughter is in danger!
I'm also worried about the baby in my belly.
Nothing must happen to the child!
This is royal blood.
Not only that, if the child is gone, Wanwan has already been injured from falling off the cliff, and she is old. If she can't have another child, can Wanwan bear it?
Seeing Bai Luoheng had taken out the needle, Jiang Guanchen couldn't wait to ask, "Are my aunt and the child okay?"
Bai Luoheng: "Don't worry, sister-in-law will wake up soon. She can't be stimulated again in the future."
The three generations of the Jiang family, grandparents and grandchildren, finally felt relieved.
"Wen Can, you went to the study with me. What did you say to Wan Wan? Why didn't Ming En come back?"
Wen Can was about to leave when Jiang Yunwan woke up and called him.
"Achan, where is Sister Yu? I want to see her now!"
Jiang Yunwan pulled back the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but Caiwei quickly stopped her, "Madam, you just had a miscarriage and can't move. The young lady will be fine."
"Yes, sister-in-law, it's my fault that you misunderstood me. Tang Tian said Sister Yu is intact and her face is still hers. Just now, the brothers below said that Big Brother has safely picked up the young lady and may not be able to return tonight. The city gate is strictly checked. I put on a beard, and the officials at the city gate watched me for a long time before letting me in."
"Is your face really not cut?"
"No! Tang Tian wouldn't lie. If you hadn't asked them to go to Luming Mountain to investigate, they wouldn't have met the young lady at the foot of Huguo Temple. The young lady was able to escape successfully because she met Ah Si in Luming Mountain. On the Yunyang official road, the young lady also instigated Yunyan, the maidservant beside Du Zhihuan, to rebel. If she hadn't been instigated, she might have been in danger."
Jiang Guanchen: "The Du family military camp is just over there on the Yunyang official road."
Wen Can: "They said there were many people ambushed there, and it would be difficult to get reinforcements from the base. So Sister Yu took a day's detour to rush to the Huguo Temple and ran into Zhang Feng and the others. Sister Yu was very smart and arranged for Ah Si to go to Fengquan Villa and ask the Mu family to cover him as he returned to Beijing."
Jiang Youya: "Sister Yu is not only smart, but also very lucky. Wanwan, Sister Yu's doom is over."
Jiang Yunwan: "If I don't see Sister Yu, I won't be out of danger."
"Don't worry, you'll be able to see Sister Yu tomorrow. Dad will make the arrangements. Go to bed early and don't let your mind wander. Don't disturb the baby again. Ming En must not only recognize his biological parents, but his child must also be safe. You must protect him well."
Jiang Yunwan then realized that she was feeling unwell. "I won't let my imagination run wild. I will protect the child. You guys make good arrangements. Sister Yu must come back safely."
"Don't worry, aunt. I will go and pick up my cousin tomorrow."
Wen Can followed the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to Jiang Youya's study.
"Wen Can, Ming En knows his life story, right?"
Wen Can nodded. "It was difficult to find out at first. Gu Wanqing's cousin is in charge there, and the mansion is full of young servants. It took quite a while to find the old man who worked as a gardener in the Gu family in Kangcheng more than 30 years ago."
"Did he see Yimu who exchanged the child that day?"
"No, the maids and servants from the Gu family who attended to the princess's childbirth are all gone."
"Was it a natural death?"
"The old man said that they died of illness one after another ten years ago."
Jiang Youya frowned, fearing that this was the work of someone behind the scenes. "Chen'er, do you have any clues about Prince Rong's biological mother?"
"No, my grandson secretly observed Gu Wanqing's sisters and found that none of them looked particularly like Prince Rong. They didn't have the same ears as Gu Wanqing. Now, the old princess looks the most like Prince Rong."
"Does Gu Wanqing's father have any illegitimate children?"
Jiang Guanchen was a little discouraged. "We haven't found anything yet. Don't worry, we'll find out if he has an illegitimate child. I went to the Dali Temple, but it's too late. The prince will return home."
Jiang Youya looked at Wen Can and said, "You've been traveling so long that you should stay here today. You must have been noticed by the people from Prince Rong's residence when you came to the Jiang residence. Your wife is also very pregnant."
Wen Can was shocked. Jiaojiao really couldn't be frightened.
"Okay, I'll follow Mr. Jiang's instructions."
After Wen Can left, Jiang Youya ordered Jiang Yunzhou, "Take your men to guard outside the Du Mansion before dawn..."
Prince Rong's Mansion
"Father, are you just going to give up on Huanhuan like this?"
"What else? Are you going to confess your guilt with her? Remember this: Du Zhihuan did this out of jealousy over Song Yu. We were completely unaware of it. If you can't bear to see her die, then just save her in secret. Once your great cause is accomplished, you can do whatever you want."
Xiao Chengqian was instantly comforted: "I know, I'll make the arrangements."
After Xiao Chengqian left, Xiao Hongyi went to Zhuang Liyue's house again.
"Mother, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep. I'm thinking about the masked man Chen Chao mentioned."
Xiao Hongyi: "He's just a nosy person, don't take it to heart."
Zhuang Liyue was very uneasy about Chen Chao's narrow escape. "Chen Chao said that man had an extraordinary aura. I suspect he came here specifically to rescue Song Yu. Do you think Song Mingen is still alive?"
"How is that possible? I saw it myself, and the body was already smelling. He was just a peasant, and he couldn't fight. Chen Chao said he knew martial arts. Even if he came to rescue Song Yu, the most likely person is Wen Can. He's a wealthy businessman in Yancheng, and he has money to support some warriors. And even if he's still alive, and he comes to recognize her, can you recognize her?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Liyue felt relieved. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. We have a tough battle tomorrow. Let's go back and rest early."
When Cuiyun saw Xiao Hongyi leave, she hurried to look for Lu An.
"My guess is correct. The Empress is definitely missing. She no longer lives in the same room with the Prince. The young prince often goes looking for her, and has gone several times today. How is your progress? Do you know the whereabouts of the guest in the first floor lobby that day?"
"Not yet." Lu An took out a portrait and said, "I asked an artist to draw it based on my memory. It's about 70% like. Tomorrow I will arrange for people to search the whole city for him."
"This... this is too slow. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. After all, this is a portrait, not a real person. Our queen might have been in trouble a long time ago."
Lu An: "There's no point in being anxious now. Your Majesty is blessed with a long life and nothing will happen to her. Also, your abnormal behavior may be related to the nightmare, and the fainting woman may be a coincidence."
"It can't be a coincidence. The Queen won't let me get close to her."
"Then has the prince noticed that something is wrong with the queen?"
Cuiyun: "The prince only has the queen in his eyes. How could he notice that something is wrong with the queen? He does whatever the queen tells him to do. The prince is always obedient. Okay, you should pay attention and search the whole city tomorrow to make sure that the prince's people don't find out."
Lu An: "Don't worry, I will find him as soon as possible."
"Guanchen, why are you here so late?"
Mu Jingxing was very busy. He only looked up at him once, then lowered his eyes to ponder the case.
Jiang Guanchen asked, "Where's Xiao Fei?"
"I asked him to do something else. You're not coming to look for him, are you?"
"My cousin has been replaced. Xiao Fei should be with her now."
Mu Jingxing suddenly raised his head, "Don't lie to me! Du Zhihuan has no chance to cut your cousin's face."
"I'm not lying to you. The one from the Du Mansion is fake. My cousin was replaced in Luming Mountain!"
Mu Jingxing's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried out, pulling Jiang Guanchen with him. "Take me to see her!"
"Why are you so excited?" Jiang Guanchen used great strength to pull him back. "My cousin's face is fine, it wasn't cut. The city gates are closed now. I don't know where my cousin is, but she's safe..."
Jiang Guanchen explained the whole story to him in detail.
"No wonder Sister Yu was so affectionate with my cousin on the way back from Luming Mountain. Turns out she's Du Zhihuan! Then I thought she was Sister Yu again. Du Zhihuan is such a liar!"
"Sister Yu?" Jiang Guanchen looked at him. "How can you call my cousin that?"
Mu Jingxing frowned, "Now is not the time to talk about this, go back and arrange for people, we will go outside the city to pick up your cousin tomorrow morning!"
Mu Jingxing returned home and went to look for Mu Chuqing first.
"What are you doing so late at night?!!!"
Mu Chuqing was so angry when she was woken up that she threw everything she could get her hands on at Mu Jingxing.
Seeing that she had calmed down enough, Mu Jingxing said, "Will you come with me to pick up your future sister-in-law outside the city tomorrow morning?"
Mu Chuqing's eyes widened. "Sister-in-law?"
"The one in the Du Mansion is not your sister Yu, but Du Zhihuan. She was replaced in Luming Mountain..."
The news was so frightening that Mu Chuqing couldn't sleep in the second half of the night.
Before the hour of Mao, the brother and sister gathered two hundred guards and rushed to the city gate.
