"Now is not the time to talk about these things. You should quickly use the people under your command to find this mistress. Before the Zhu family had this incident, they transferred a lot of property to this mistress and her son, which was obviously to leave a way out for them."
Perhaps this concubine's daughter is the hope that will allow the prefect to recant his testimony.
Rong Ning handed the account book and the portrait of the concubine's son to the Crown Prince, and continued, "I also have portraits of my concubine and her son, but my people have searched for a long time and have not found them, nor have they received any news that they have left the city. It's as if they have vanished into thin air."
To be able to erase someone's trace from Nanyang City after hearing rumors is no small feat, brother. This is no simple matter!
After listening, the Crown Prince made up his mind. He took a deep breath, called Ah Heng in, and handed him the portrait. "Activate all our secret agents and search for this person with all our might."
"Also, keep them watching the Prime Minister's residence. Not even a fly should be allowed to get out now!"
The Zhu family had the opportunity to send Rong Ning out during the month-long period between her imprisonment and her return trip.
If they have already sent the person away, they will be very difficult to find again, as the person is scattered all over the country.
The Crown Prince sighed and looked at Rong Ning helplessly, saying, "I'm sorry, A'Ning, this was my oversight!"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's find someone quickly!" Rong Ning said, arms crossed. "Let's also tell Father and see what his attitude is, but I think Father is more concerned about this matter than we are."
But don't drag me into this; just say you found out!
The crown prince froze, "A'Ning...this isn't appropriate..."
"Perfect! But please don't mention me!"
Rong Ning didn't want her father to know too soon that she had an intelligence network that was beyond his control.
There are risks.
"Alright... I've eaten and drunk my fill, and I've said what I needed to say. I'm leaving now!" Rong Ning patted her bottom and stood up. "Let me know if there's any news. Once my sister's letter arrives, I'll have to go back to the Prime Minister's residence, and many things won't be convenient then."
The Crown Prince grasped the key point: "A'Ning, Yang'er wrote you another letter?"
"Hmm...twice a month!" Rong Ning's lips curled slightly. "I know you and Father don't have that, no need to be envious. Let's go~"
"Hey~ What are you saying!" the Crown Prince gritted his teeth. "She writes so often, and you never tell me. Father always thinks of Yang'er and gets sad whenever he thinks of her. Yang'er writes twice a month, and you should at least tell me so we know if she's doing well in Dajing, so Father can be at ease."
Are you doing well?
Peace of mind!
How can he feel at ease?
Heh~
Rong Ning smiled mockingly, "Big brother, my sister was so young, yet she left her hometown and lived a life of dependence in the Great Jing Palace. Do you think she was doing well?"
I know you and Father are worried about Sister, but don't forget that it was you who failed to protect her and watched her go to a political marriage to become a sacrifice.
My father went to great lengths to ascend to this position, saying it was for the sake of all the people under heaven.
Alright, then let it be for the sake of all people...
Those of you who accomplish great things all like to say things like sacrificing your own interests for the greater good.
You've placed yourselves in too high a position for the sake of the world; there's nothing we can do about it, and you're not wrong either.
The mistake was that his eldest daughter was his legitimate wife, so she deserved to bear this responsibility.
He was a good emperor, but not a good father. So, no matter how worried or uneasy his father was, he had to accept it; it was what he deserved!
After all... my sister's life in Dajing is definitely not better than any of ours.
I'll put it this way: the letter... was written to me by my older sister. I don't want to show it to you, nor do I want to tell you about my sister's situation in Dajing.
If you want to know, figure it out yourselves!
