Chapter 516 My sister is back
"She's imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. It's impossible for a woman like her to be so powerful. We're currently investigating the person behind her."
"Are there any clues?"
Xiao Yanxu: "Prince Mu is fully responsible for this matter. He has plenty of ways to make her explain. Now that Aye has returned from worshipping the ancestors and praying for blessings at the imperial mausoleum, the family of three should go back to where they belong!"
Gu Zhouci: "Uncle, the people from the Dali Temple come to our house every day. We can't do business here anymore. And the soldiers from the patrol camp come to our house every half an incense stick to inspect. Now everyone in the Gu family is in danger. Now that the misunderstanding has been explained, uncle, can you send a message to the palace and ask them to withdraw?"
Xiao Yanxu: "This case is now under the jurisdiction of Prince Mu. Ningning and I are the victims and it is not convenient for us to intervene. After all, the child swap involves the royal bloodline and endangers the country of Dayuan. As for the patrol camp, there is no need for the people to visit the Gu Mansion frequently."
Gu Wanqing: "That woman has already falsely accused me of not being Brother Ningning. She will definitely drag the entire Gu family into this. Wouldn't the Gu family be implicated as well?"
Xiao Yanxu's face was gloomy. "Why be afraid of something you haven't done? Besides, Prince Mu always relies on evidence. If it's not her, then it's everything. And... you didn't do it. What if other people in the Gu family were involved in the baby swap? Or maybe your father was also one of the masterminds."
"Impossible, my father was in the capital at that time."
"Is it really impossible?" Xiao Yanxu stared at him. "She is your father's concubine's daughter. He obviously dotes on her. Even if he is in the capital, he can still arrange for his subordinates to do it."
Gu Wanqing didn't know how to refute for a moment.
"Okay, Ningning is tired, you guys should go back first. The emperor is wise and powerful and will not wrongly accuse a good person. After all, the Gu family is Ningning's family."
Gu Wanqing felt relieved, "Ningning, I'll come to see you another day."
Gu Yining nodded: "The ninth day of next month is Ming'en's birthday. Bring Yan'er to the mansion early that day."
"good."
"Dad, I'm going back to the Du Mansion. If grandma wants me to stay overnight, I'll come back tomorrow."
Song Mingen stood up and pulled her, "Daddy will send you out. It's best to persuade your grandmother to move to the palace."
"Yeah, I'll try to convince my grandmother to move here."
Gu Yining watched the father and daughter leave hand in hand, with a smile on her face.
Now she feels happy when she sees her own son's every smile and frown.
God was kind to her. She was trapped at that time and hoped that her own son would suddenly appear and save her.
She never thought that the impossible could come true.
Seeing her happy, Xiao Yanxu also became happy, "Ningning, I'll help you go to the inner courtyard."
"No! Let's go to Phoenix Terrace to see Wanwan."
Song Mingen watched Song Yu walk away, and Wen Can rushed over.
"Brother, I'm here to pick up Xiao Nuo."
"You're late. You just went to the Du residence with Sister Yu. You can still catch up with her now."
Wen Can shook his head. "I just came to pick up Xiao Nuo. East City is a big area, and there are also cases within a hundred miles outside the city. We'll have results in three days at the earliest."
Song Mingen: "The day after tomorrow I will go to the imperial mausoleum to worship my ancestors and pray for blessings. I will speed up the progress in the next few days. I will want the results when I come back."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a result." Wen Can leaned close to Song Mingen's ear and said, "You are now a royal heir. You don't need to take the imperial examination to get a position. Has the emperor granted you an official position?"
Song Mingen nodded, "The Censor of the Inspectorate will take up his post after Qifu returns. Let's go in quickly."
"uncle!"
Seeing that Mu Jingxing looked even more handsome in his official uniform, Song Mingen's eyebrows curved unconsciously, and he said in a gentle tone, "Prince Mu, why are you here in official uniform?"
"There's been some progress in the interrogation of the family of three. I need to confirm something with my great-aunt..."
Half an hour later.
Mu Jingxing left Prince Rong's Mansion and went to the palace.
"Your Majesty, this is Li Yue's confession. She details the child swap. The Kangcheng Gu family had planted many of Old Master Gu's men, and she relied on them to successfully swap children. They all passed away after Old Master Gu passed away. She falsely accused Gu Wanqing of being one of the masterminds, and claimed that he wasn't Princess Gu's biological brother."
"False accusation? Are you sure it's a false accusation?"
"Before entering the palace, I went to Prince Rong's mansion to verify that Gu Wanqing is real. He has the same plum blossom mark on his body as Princess Gu."
Xiao Yanli asked, "Have you checked with the Li family in Dongcheng?"
"The head of the household is Li Yaoyao. Thirty-six years ago, the Li Mansion was still under the name of Old Master Gu. The mansion employed over thirty skilled guards, aged between twenty and thirty-six. There was also a man in his fifties with a tattoo on his right upper arm."
Mu Jingxing handed over the tattoo design and asked, "Has Your Majesty seen it?"
Xiao Yanli's expression changed slightly, "This is the unique green chariot of the Zhan family guards!"
Mu Jingxing said, "Now that the evidence is solid, I wonder when they will be dealt with?"
Xiao Yanli thought of Zhuang Liyue's figure in his mind. She looked like a fertile woman.
Did she and Zhan Lingyuan only have one child?
"Have you sent people to guard the Li Mansion?"
"We have replaced them with our own personnel. If anyone comes here, they will fall into our trap."
Xiao Yanli thought for a moment and said, "Go check if Xiao Hongyi has a son outside. We need to hurry up. I want to see the results when I come back from Qifu."
"yes."
"Grandma, can you please move to the palace with me and never return to the Du Mansion?"
"I can stay at the palace for a few days as a guest, even if it means moving in. But how can I, your grandmother, be the head of the Du family and move into the palace?"
If she really moved there, would her son and daughter-in-law still have the chance to see Sister Yu?
"Then Grandmother, please come back with me to the palace today. I will send you back after Daddy's birthday on the ninth day of next month."
Du Ye calculated the days and said, "There is still exactly half a month left."
"That's perfect. Stay for half a month and come back. Let's go now."
"Don't worry." Du Ye pulled her to sit down. "Grandma will come over tomorrow. You can stay and have dinner today before leaving. Okay?"
"Sister, let's have dinner first before going back," Wen Nuo had to speak well of Du Ye after eating her water chestnut cake.
You still have to control your mouth in the future.
"...I also want to go to Zhuohuayuan to feed the koi."
"Okay, then, let's have dinner before we go back." Song Yu then asked Yunyan to go back and report the news. "Grandma, I'm taking Xiao Nuo back to Zhuohuayuan first."
"Wait." Du Ye stopped her, "Xiao Nuo, go to Zhuohuayuan and wait for Sister Yu first."
"Okay, Grandma Du."
Wen Nuo left, and Du Ye said, "Your sister-in-law will come over later. You can take her pulse carefully and see how old the baby is in her belly. The Du family can't raise someone else's child anymore."
It turned out that grandma was worried about this matter. "Okay grandma, I will take your pulse carefully."
When Su Beiqing learned that Song Yu had returned, she put down the work in her hands and hurried to Chaohuiyuan, fearing that Sister Yu would be gone if she was late.
I met Gong Lingyu on the way.
"Mother." Gong Lingyu bowed and saluted.
Su Beiqing hadn't yet fully accepted this daughter-in-law of unknown origin. She wanted to teach her some manners, but when she saw her bulging belly, she said, "Okay, it's cold, go back to the house."
"Mother, grandmother sent someone to say my sister is back and asked me to go to Zhaohuiyuan."
