"No way!" Qiao Dongzi stopped wiping his hair with his hand, "How could she, sister-in-law?"
"Looking at the guards outside looking for people, you can think of the impossible."
"I have never heard that the imperial concubine was pregnant with twins."
"How can we know the secrets of the royal family? Maybe the person on the throne is not the blood of the ancestors."
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"I've been ordered to search." The person outside the door shouted.
Liu Laoer knocked the tobacco leaves in the pot of the pipe and said, "Look, we're here."
The two guards directly pushed open the ajar door and entered the inn.
At this time, Liu Laoer was holding on to the rafters, while Qiao Dongzi was laying tiles on the roof, looking like a craftsman repairing the roof.
"Two soldiers, if there is anything you need me to do, just ask me?" Liu Laoer nodded and bowed, as if he was in awe of the guards.
Qiao Dongzi was minding his own work without even looking at the two guards, as if he didn't know anyone was coming.
Liu Laoer then explained: "He is deaf, please don't mind, Mr. Bing."
"Okay, let me ask you, have you ever seen a woman like this?" The guard took out a portrait.
It's just that the portrait may have been slightly blurred due to the rain and moisture, but it can still be seen that it is very similar to Mu Run.
Liu Laoer shook his head, "I've never seen him before. Who is this? A fugitive? He looks pretty good-looking."
"Stop asking. Hold the ladder carefully. It's best not to do it on rainy days." Another guard said to Liu Laoer when he saw that Qiao Dongzi was soaked in the rain on the roof.
Liu Laoer responded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, let him come down in a moment."
The two guards looked around again and thought there was nothing suspicious, so they went to the next house.
Liu Laoer bolted the door and called Qiao Dongzi down, "Now that the city is closed, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for a while. You first go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see what's going on there."
Qiao Dongzi had visited the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Fu Yunchen had also explained to the manager of the Prime Minister's Mansion that Qiao Dongzi was his attendant.
"Okay, I'll go then." Qiao Dongzi changed his clothes, wore a raincoat and a hat, and went out.
…
Due to the search warrant in the capital city, various forces are ready to take action, and the undercurrent is surging.
The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion was even more tense.
The Prime Minister's wife stayed by Li Yingyu's bed, looking at Li Yingyu who was still unconscious due to excessive blood loss, with full of sympathy.
The Prime Minister on the side walked around anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me first which palace you were going to?"
The Prime Minister's wife wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a choked voice: "I was also frightened at that time. The child was obviously dead, but I asked Grandma Qing to do it herself."
"Where's Aunt Qing?"
"Afterwards, I sent someone to send her away. Only the imperial concubine and I knew about that matter."
"Now His Majesty also knows that Longting is furious. You are so audacious...and you, you have hidden such an important matter from me for so many years!"
"I've already thought about it. And if I don't tell His Majesty,"
"How could you not tell? Your Majesty knows every move you make after entering the palace. If I don't report the information again, who can afford it when Your Majesty takes the blame? Your Majesty is holding back a lot of anger because of the peace talks with Wu Guo.
, whoever you throw the blame on will be demoted, or the family will be confiscated and exterminated."
The Prime Minister's wife's face turned pale. "What did your Majesty say in the end?"
"If you find Yingyu, you will be fine. If you can't find Yingyu, you will become Teng's concubine and go to the Kingdom of Wu with Princess Xiaoyu."
"What!?" "Plop~" The Prime Minister's wife tilted her body and fell to the ground.
The Prime Minister looked at her with angry eyes, flicked his sleeves for the last time, and left.
