Chapter 517 This person may know the situation of Emperor Shunwu
Then, I heard two people whispering there.
"Madam Wang, I don't know if Jiuye and his wife managed to leave here."
"Your Majesty, are you thinking about them getting out early, finding the Third Prince, and finding a way to come see you?"
"The only wrong thing I've done in my life is replacing my own flesh and blood. Now the Queen is deliberately torturing me and not giving us food, just to watch me die.
Even if my illness is cured by Jiuye’s wife, I’m afraid my life will not escape the clutches of the Queen.
I just want to see my own flesh and blood, whom I have been indebted to for over twenty years, before I die. Then I will have no regrets in this life."
"Your Majesty, please don't think like that. What the Queen and her party did was to usurp the throne. We still don't know what the Emperor's situation is.
If the Emperor has a chance to restore order, we will be saved."
"Hehe... No one knows the emperor better than me. He's arrogant and conceited, and has no brains when faced with problems. How can we expect such a person to turn the situation around?"
The following words were all Concubine Yuan telling Nanny Wang some things, such as if she died, she must tell Fei Nanyu that she, as his biological mother, had let him down.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were no longer in the mood to listen, but they could tell from Concubine Yuan's voice that she was no longer as weak as she was yesterday, and her body was gradually recovering.
As long as Concubine Yuan is in good health, they will have done a great thing for Fei Nanyu.
As for how the mother and son will get along in the future, it is not their concern.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran used their lightness skills to jump out of the palace wall, dodging the patrolling guards along the way and arrived outside the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor's bedroom is naturally the most luxurious place in the entire palace.
In Mo Jiuye's impression, in the past, even late at night, the place should have been brightly lit.
However, today was completely opposite to his impression. Not only were there no lights on, there wasn't even a single guard around the palace.
From this, we can preliminarily conclude that Emperor Shunwu is not here.
However, since they were already here, they naturally had to go in and take a look, not wanting to miss any useful clues.
Mo Jiuye looked around carefully. Apart from the occasional patrolling guards passing by, there were indeed no fixed guards here.
So, as soon as a team of patrolling guards passed by, Mo Jiuye put his arm around He Zhiran's waist, and the two of them lightly jumped over the courtyard wall.
The bedroom was pitch black, but fortunately Mo Jiuye was familiar with the place and could find where he wanted to go with the help of the moonlight.
He pulled He Zhiran straight to Emperor Shunwu's bedroom.
Emperor Shunwu's bedroom was similar to a modern suite. The entrance was the hall where he temporarily worked, and the compartments inside were where he slept.
The door was not locked, Mo Jiuye just pushed it lightly and it opened.
Just now they were able to confirm that the entire bedroom was empty, and Emperor Shunwu's bedroom was in the middle position, surrounded by other houses, and the palace walls were built very high. Unless people outside jumped to a high place, they could not see what was going on inside.
After weighing the safety factor, He Zhiran took out the flashlight from the space.
The two of them looked around with the help of flashlights.
On the soft couch in the middle, the cushions and other items were a bit messy, and a thin quilt had fallen to the ground.
If we follow the logical analysis of the crime scene, it is very likely that Emperor Shunwu was taken away while he was resting here.
Not far away, on the soft desk facing the couch, the memorials were not arranged neatly as usual. It was obvious that someone had touched them and piled them there haphazardly.
All of this proves one thing: Emperor Shunwu was taken away by force.
He Zhiran has always been a merciless person. Before leaving, she waved her hand and the items in the room disappeared from her sight in an instant.
There was also an inner room where Emperor Shunwu rested. After inspection, all the items were put into the space.
He Zhiran did this not because she was greedy, but because Emperor Shunwu owed the Mohist school and all the people in the world.
After making sure that there was nothing suspicious, Mo Jiuye took He Zhiran and flew out of Emperor Shunwu's bedroom, and the two went straight to the Queen's residence.
There is no doubt that the disappearance of Emperor Shunwu was the work of the Queen's party. If you want to know his whereabouts, you must start with her.
Hiding all the way, the two soon arrived at the Queen's Fengxi Palace.
This place is in stark contrast to the deserted Emperor Shunwu's bedroom. Not only is the palace brightly lit, but there are also people standing guard with lanterns around the palace walls.
Also, every five minutes or so, a patrolling team of guards will pass by.
Mo Jiuye calculated the time when the patrol guards were off duty, and took He Zhiran around to the weakest guarded area behind Fengxi Palace and jumped in.
Although Mo Jiuye was familiar with the terrain of the imperial palace, he had never been to the Queen's Fengxi Palace and was not very clear about its structure.
He was already prepared to jump in and hide first, but they were lucky and landed in the backyard of Fengxi Palace, where there were no people nearby.
If you want to get useful information, you have to go where there are people.
Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran and walked towards the queen's bedroom while observing the surrounding situation.
This should be the most remote place in Fengxi Palace. Apart from a few rooms for storing miscellaneous items, there is nothing else.
Mo Jiuye stopped when he had walked less than ten meters.
He Zhiran was naturally not as perceptive as him, but she knew that Mo Jiuye must have discovered something when he suddenly stopped.
She asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Mo Jiuye made a gesture to keep quiet, put his arm around He Zhiran's waist, and jumped onto a nearby tree.
Soon, a burst of cursing voices clearly reached the ears of the two.
"Hehehe... I never thought an old fox like you would fall into our hands. The Queen is kind and wants to kill you, but we won't let her."
"Xu Li, you are a villain who has achieved success. If my family hadn't taken pity on you and brought you up to teach you, would you be where you are today?
And yet you repay our kindness with hatred and treat our family like this?"
"Humph! It was you who brought me along and taught me, but was that teaching?
I poured you water to wash your feet every day, and when you were unhappy you beat and scolded me. I will remember this for the rest of my life."
Among the people in the conversation, Mo Jiuye was very familiar with the voice of one of them.
It was Qi Changshun, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Shunwu.
He said in a voice that only He Zhiran could hear: "Ranran, you stay here and wait for me. This person may know the situation of Emperor Shunwu."
As soon as he finished speaking, he used his lightness skills to jump up, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind the person who came.
