Chapter 448 Wait for me to pick you up
"Anything else? If not, please leave. I don't want anyone to discover this Left Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being."
"It's alright, don't worry, Princess. I was very careful and definitely didn't let anyone notice me."
Li Mulan nodded, "Send the news to our new base in time." She looked at Long Yi, "Have you told him?"
"I have said it," Yuan Chong responded immediately, "Don't worry, Princess. You don't have to worry about such trivial matters. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I will report to you as soon as there is any news."
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety."
"Pay attention, pay attention."
Yuan Chong walked to the door and suddenly thought of the most important thing. He turned back and said, "I was really confused. I haven't given you the letter from the prince yet."
Li Mulan was delighted, "Did Chu Chenfeng send a letter?"
Facing Yuan Chong's shocked expression, she coughed lightly and said, "Um, the letter from the prince?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Yuan Chong didn't dare to say more. He handed the letter to Li Mulan and left.
As soon as Yuan Chong left, Li Mulan couldn't wait to open the letter, regardless of the fact that Long Yi was still beside her.
After all, she had been worried for a while, wondering if Chu Chenfeng would be angry with her. But she didn't want to ask, so she just stayed in Beiqi. In fact, she still missed Chu Chenfeng a lot.
As a result, when I opened the letter, there was only a simple sentence on it: Wait for me to pick you up.
Li Mulan frowned and read the letter over and over again. Is this really just one sentence?
This... is really a piece of wood.
But after reading these five words, Li Mulan suddenly felt happy again. He was not angry, and he said he would come to pick her up? The war at the border was about to end? So soon?
No, no, she has to finish the job as soon as possible.
Two days later, the entire Ronghe City fell into an eerie silence.
Even the people on the streets were in a hurry. They didn't dare to stay anywhere for too long and would go home immediately after finishing their business.
Nalande hardly slept for the past two days because he had too many things to do.
After Zhuge Wenqing was confined to the palace, many things fell on his head. He also had to collect some evidence to overturn the case of the prince's party, hoping to take this opportunity to beat the fallen dog.
In short, there is no way to rest completely.
Li Mulan and her family lived in the most remote courtyard, and no one would come here on weekdays.
Today, Yuan Chong came again, his face full of joy, as if he had discovered some great secret.
Li Mulan was having dinner with Qingyu at this time. Huo Yuanruo and Li Xiaoqi had also returned and were now enjoying the roast chicken.
There's nothing I can do. I've been too busy and tired lately.
Li Mulan was the one who used her brain and mouth, but the actual work was done by them and their group of brothers.
It is really not easy for them to turn Ronghe City upside down.
"Eat slowly, there is still more."
Li Mulan picked up some food for them while whispering instructions. At this time, Jian Qi came in and bowed respectfully to Li Mulan, "Master, Yuan Chong is here and is in the banquet hall."
Jian Qi has been more respectful to Li Mulan recently, especially after he helped Li Mulan prepare the dragon robe to frame Situ Lian last time, his attitude towards Li Mulan has taken a 180-degree turn.
Li Mulan nodded, "I'll go right away."
She looked at the two people who were eating and said, "Don't just focus on eating the meat, drink some soup. Sister, I have to go and get busy first."
Qingyu smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead."
After they left, Huo Yuanruo looked at Jian Qi's back in confusion, "Sister Qingyu, why did that boy change his personality?"
Whisper shook her head, "I don't know."
Li Xiaoqi didn't even raise his head. "Why? He must be impressed by the master's ability."
"Humph, only Junior Master has a good temper. As for me, I would be better off beating him into submission."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Li Xiaoqi's claws going towards the big pig's hoof that he had just set his eyes on. He quickly snatched it away and said, "This is the one I set my eyes on."
Li Xiaoqi curled his lips. He no longer had the energy to argue with him. He picked up another braised pig's trotter and started to chew on it.
The two of them were not willing to be outdone, and it was like a competition. Qingyu had no choice but to help them serve the soup to prevent them from choking.
In the banquet hall, Yuan Chong excitedly reported to Li Mulan what he had investigated over the past two days.
"This Situ Lian is really cruel. The drug she gave the Northern Qi emperor was really strong. The emperor didn't even attend court today and he just collapsed. In fact, the imperial physician had already found out that the emperor was poisoned, but that eunuch Liu was almost completely in control of the palace and managed to conceal the matter. It's said that the emperor was angry about these recent events and that he felt sorry for the prince."
"What about Situ Yue? He should know about it, but he didn't take any action?"
"Speaking of the Third Prince, he is also a ruthless person. He actually watched Situ Lian have someone poison the emperor and did not stop him. I wonder what he wants to do."
Li Mulan sneered, "He wants to reap the benefits."
"General Zhennan didn't know about this? He should have done something, right?"
"Oh, this is the most strange thing. General Zhennan is the uncle of the Third Prince. I don't know what he thinks, but he just doesn't say it. And I have heard that the relationship between the uncle and nephew has been very delicate recently."
Li Mulan pondered, Nalande hasn't been here for two days, is he also unaware of the emperor's situation? No, the Northern Qi emperor can't die so soon, I have to go find the prime minister later.
"By the way," Yuan Chong drank the tea in front of him and continued, "Didn't the princess ask me to investigate Zhuge Wenqing? I did find out something. But I haven't got the evidence yet, so..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Zhuge Wenqing had known the late queen long before she married the Northern Qi emperor, and the queen admired his talent very much. At that time, Zhuge Wenqing was still a commoner, and his family was even very poor. He usually earned some money by copying books for others to support his studies. Later, when he met the late queen, it was the late queen who paid for his studies. So the late queen was very kind to Zhuge Wenqing."
"But the Northern Qi Emperor also knew about this. So Zhuge Wenqing pretended to support Situ Yue these years, but he was actually Situ Lian's man, and this was also tacitly approved by the Northern Qi Emperor. However, many people don't know that before the Northern Qi Crown Prince was born, the Emperor suspected the late Queen and Zhuge Wenqing. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Wenqing directly confessed to the Emperor that he was injured when he was young and could not do anything humane, and that he absolutely had no improper relationship with the Queen. The Emperor also asked the imperial physician to check and it was indeed true."
This made Li Mulan particularly shocked. How could the prime minister of a country be a eunuch? Even novels wouldn't dare to write this way, right?
