Xie Yao got off the carriage and went straight to his grandfather's yard.
On the way, she couldn't help but wonder, what news did her grandfather get?
Because, before this, Emperor Zhaochu had just announced that his grandfather had entered the palace.
What on earth does Emperor Zhaochu want to do?
Even though she knew that she often went to Pingdong Hou Mansion, she probably informed her grandfather about Xie Wenwu's arrest, but she still wanted to announce his entry into the palace. Could it be that she thought the half-month period was too long, and wanted to intimidate her grandfather to make him
Put pressure on her?
Soon, she arrived at her grandfather's yard.
Mo Li stood guard outside the courtyard gate, and when he saw Xie Yao, he immediately let him go.
Now that the princess is back, the old general's mood will definitely improve.
The old general has been silent since he came back from the palace, and his brows are furrowed and his face is ugly.
Fortunately, the old general took the initiative to invite the princess back, otherwise he would have asked someone to invite her back.
Xie Yao opened the door directly and entered the house, and saw her grandfather at a glance.
The questions that had been accumulated all the way and were about to burst out of my mouth were suppressed after seeing my grandfather's solemn look and frowning eyebrows.
"Grandpa, I'm here." She said softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing her grandfather.
General Xie raised his eyes, there were a few bloodshot eyes, and his voice was hoarse, mixed with worry, "Sit down."
Seeing the bloodshot eyes under her grandfather's eyes, Xie Yao's heart sank.
When my grandfather first returned to Beijing, there was indeed a lot of bloodshot eyes in his eyes, but after a few days of rest, they had all faded away. Now if there are bloodshot eyes in his eyes again, it's probably not because he didn't get enough rest, but because he was overthinking!
"Grandpa, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side!" She sat opposite her grandfather and said in a soft and solemn voice.
General Xie smiled when he heard this, as if the bloodshot eyes had faded a lot, and the wrinkles on his face were filled with relief, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"I called you here because I have something to tell you."
Seeing that her grandfather's expression returned to normal, Xie Yao said in a slightly relaxed tone, "Is it related to my brother?"
Old General Xie nodded, thinking of the appearance of the man in the cell, his old eyes were filled with a little solemnity, "I have entered the secret cell."
"Have you met your brother?" Xie Yao looked stern.
Old General Xie nodded slowly, "He was lying in the cell, covered in bruises and motionless. He looked so disheveled that I couldn't even recognize who he was."
Xie Yao frowned, "The emperor didn't ask anyone to treat his injuries?"
Although this was expected, knowing that Xie Wenwu's injury had not been treated and was likely to worsen, my heart sank.
"When you saw him, did he speak?" General Xie suddenly asked.
Xie Yao shook his head, "When I checked his pulse, his pulse was weak. He might not be able to speak."
At that time, her attention was focused on Xie Wenwu's extremely serious injuries, and she did not pay too much attention to anything else.
"When I saw him, he didn't speak, so I wasn't sure whether he was in a coma or awake." General Xie's eyes focused deeply.
"What do you mean..." Xie Yao frowned slightly.
"I suspect that the person inside the secret cell is not Xie Wenwu!" General Xie said in a deep voice, his old eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Xie Yao was slightly startled.
Fake?
The person Emperor Zhaochu sent to capture from the border was not Xie Wenwu?
Old General Xie paused and continued with a solemn expression, "Wenwu has been back in Beijing for a while. Because his injuries are so serious that they may endanger his life at any time, so even if the emperor does not heal his injuries, he will not let him go.
The development of injuries in civil and military circles.”
"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Wen and Wu to remain unconscious, let alone see you and me without saying a word."
"So, I think Xie Wenwu in prison is probably fake! That person is not Xie Wenwu at all!"
When General Xie said this, his tone was firm, and there was a light shining in his old eyes!
Xie Yao's face was solemn as never before, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly, thinking about all possibilities, "Besides his silence, does my grandfather have any other basis? It is impossible for the emperor not to know his brother, since he has been arrested in a secret prison
Among them, you should not admit your mistakes!"
"Unless the emperor did this on purpose!"
"Then where is the real Xie Wenwu? If the emperor catches the real Xie Wenwu, he will never create a fake one!"
A look of thought flashed in General Xie's eyes, "This is also a question I'm wondering about. If the person in the secret cell is not civil or military, then he must not have been caught yet! But there is no news about him in the border area. All news
All point to him being captured and brought back to the capital!"
"My people saw them when they captured Wen Wu and returned to Beijing. Although they didn't see Wen Wu's face, his clothes and back were exactly the same as what I saw. Therefore, the person arrested at that time was the same person who is in the cell now.
personal!"
After Xie Yao listened, she fell into silence.
If Emperor Zhaochu captured the real Xie Wenwu, then why did Xie Wenwu remain silent?
According to his pulse, Xie Wenwu is indeed very weak, but he will not remain comatose or speechless.
If Emperor Zhaochu caught the fake Xie Wenwu, then where is the real Xie Wenwu? Is he hiding again?
Even if Xie Wenwu in the secret prison is fake, the injuries on his body are real!
Since Emperor Zhaochu could admit his mistake, Xie Wenwu must have suffered similar serious injuries.
If it is true that Xie Wenwu is still at the border and his serious injuries cannot be treated, the consequences will be disastrous! We must find out as soon as possible whether the person in the cell is actually Xie Wenwu!
"Grandfather, no matter whether the people in the secret prison are real or fake, we should first send people to the border area and conduct a careful investigation to see if we can find any clues." Xie Yao suggested.
General Xie nodded and immediately shouted outside: "Mo Li."
"Old General, what are your orders?" Li Li appeared immediately.
"Instruct the secret guards who are still on the border to continue searching for the whereabouts of Wen Wu and not to let go of any clues." Old General Xie said solemnly.
"Old General, you mean..." Mo Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Wasn't the Major General arrested?
"Don't ask anything, just do it immediately! Even if there is only a small chance, you have to put in a lot of effort!" General Xie said with a serious expression.
"Yes!" Mo Li accepted the order and retreated.
Xie Yao's face darkened, and she thought deeply in her heart.
In fact, the easiest way to confirm whether the person in the secret cell is Xie Wenwu is to go in again.
Last time, her attention was focused on Xie Wenwu's burns and she had no time to take care of anything else. If she came prepared, she would know at first sight whether the people in the secret cell were real or fake.
Suddenly she thought that she had seen the face of 'Xie Wenwu' in the secret prison, and her expression suddenly became solemn, "Grandpa, when I checked for pulse last time, I saw my brother... there were several deep stab wounds on his face.
, the whole face has been scratched beyond recognition, and the flesh and blood have been turned out, and the original appearance cannot be seen clearly!"
General Xie's voice suddenly became extremely deep, "Did your face get scratched?"
He was standing outside the cell, and 'Xie Wenwu' was lying on the ground with his face facing inside. He was also disheveled and could only see his back, not his face!
Xie Yao nodded solemnly, his eyes as deep as the sea.
