No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top
Chapter 256: Each Shows Its Cunning
In addition to asking Helan Qin to investigate, in fact, besides the person still lying in the palace, there must be another person who knows the origin of the Bodhi string, and that person is still in the Beijing Guard.
This time, in order to complete the transaction with King Rong, he had to go back to the Princess's Mansion in person to find the whereabouts of the Bodhi bracelet.
But the matter of hiding the withered grass is also imminent. "Now that the person behind the scenes has given you a warning, you don't need to investigate any more during this period of time. You only need to do one thing!"
"Keep an eye on Yuwen Bo!" Helan Qin just figured out the problem and replied immediately.
Tang Yuwei nodded in agreement and said, "General Jia told me that Helan Qin's concubine, Miss Xue Er, has not appeared in the past few days, but General Jia's identity is special and it is not convenient to investigate further, so you can start from here and investigate carefully!"
"I understand." Helan Qin nodded in understanding. "As for Yangyang, can you ensure her safety?"
"No one in the palace will touch her until I get the Bodhi back!" Thinking of how he saved Yangyang the day before and saw her covered in injuries, he couldn't feel at ease if he let her stay in the palace for another day.
Yuwen Bo soon heard about Tang Yuwei's departure, "This person really comes and goes without a trace!"
"He entered the palace alone the day before yesterday. Not long after, I heard that King Rong released Princess Tao Le from the dark prison!" Fang Lan'er never forgot her responsibilities. After she recovered a little, she inquired from many sources. She was indeed the most important secret guard in Yuwen Bo's hands.
Although he was a little happy to hear the news that Yangyang was released, he still asked the main question, "Did he reach some kind of deal with King Rong?"
"It should be!" Fang Lan'er was cautious and never gave unnecessary answers. She looked up at Yuwen Bo and analyzed solemnly, "Some time ago, His Highness Xuanyi sent people to search the Princess's residence. I wonder if General Tang's return to the capital is also related to this matter?"
"What do you mean?" Yuwen Bo fluttered his fan, his mind working rapidly, "The deal that King Rong reached with him is also what Xuanyi needs?"
"I am just guessing." Fang Lan'er analyzed again, "Prince Xuanyi wrote to the prince before, saying only that he should take good care of Xue Yangyang, and did not mention anything else. Before that, Xuanyi had been pursuing Xue Yangyang relentlessly. There must be something hidden in this."
"Hmph! That old woman has never believed in anyone, and certainly not this prince!" Yuwen Bo has been subservient to Xuan Yi and treated like a cat or a dog for so many years. Although part of his Qingshang Pavilion has been wiped out by her, it does not prevent him from using the chess pieces in his hands to make a full layout.
"She is just like my father, a piece of trash who is too arrogant."
When he thought about the fact that Xuan Yi had sent people to give some advice to the Marquis of Changguo Mansion in Yuzhou, his father, the Marquis of Changguo, wrote a letter to insult him as if he was insulting a beast.
Yuwen Bo has been treated like this since he was a child. How could he forget the scars of varying sizes on his body from being whipped? His father never really treated him as a human being.
Fang Lan'er consoled him, "We can just pretend to be nice to the old marquis. After all, Xuanyi's goal is to use the entire Changguo Marquisate to suppress you, the prince."
"Humph! I hope she wipes out the entire Changguo Marquisate in one fell swoop." Yuwen Bo tauntedly put away the fan in his hand, looked at an ant crawling on the ground with a wandering expression, stretched out his leg and kicked it, "Who wants to be that clumsy ant!"
"Don't worry about that old man. The Beijing guards are particularly wary of people from Qingshang Pavilion. I don't feel comfortable letting other people go. You go with them and see what Tang Yuwei is going to do."
"Okay!" Fang Lan'er was about to leave, but turned back and added, "There has been no news from the concubine in the past two days. Do you need me to..."
"I didn't really want her to get any useful information." Yuwen Bo said as if he was talking about an unimportant object, "It's just to confuse that old fox, Prince Zi'an. If he can fall for it, it's good. If not, it will just make him look down on me again and make him slack off!"
"I understand. We have found the warehouse where Shen Dawei keeps the medicine. However, it is not him who has been taking care of it these days. Instead, it is General Shen Sheng who has been coming and going frequently! It seems..."
Although Yuwen Bo seemed to be dealing with General Jia every day, he actually asked Fang Lan'er to do a lot of things in secret. One of them was to ask her to find the real warehouse location of the medicinal materials provided by Shen Dawei.
The investigation revealed that Shen Dawei himself seldom counted the collected medicinal materials, so he was unaware that there were other things mixed in. Instead, he was taken advantage of by his second uncle who was the commander.
Yuwen Bo had guessed this before, and until the investigation confirmed it now, he was further certain that the person behind the scenes who secretly asked him to hide the dead grass was Prince Zi'an.
"Have someone keep an eye on it! Find me the real account books of those medicinal materials, and we will go to the Prince of Zi'an's mansion to pay him a visit soon!"
The so-called visit is to reveal information to each other to facilitate cooperation. In this regard, Yuwen Bo is now confident of success.
As long as he could reach an agreement with Prince Zi'an and get even half of the troops in Commander-in-Chief's hands, he would be sure to take the highest position in the Great Pu Kingdom.
Xue Qingqing, who had been abandoned by him like a worn-out shoe, had been sleeping drowsily in the room for a long time. When she woke up, she found out from the servants that she had slept for two days and two nights, and during this time, she had no idea about the whereabouts of Prince Zi'an.
Xue Qingqing flipped the basin in the maid's hand to the ground, angry that she had been unconscious for two days. "Where is your Prince Zi'an? Where did he go?"
The maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, or maybe the sound of the basin was too loud. Shadow walked in from the door calmly and saw the water stains on the ground and the maid trembling with fear on the ground.
Although Shadow was the guard beside Prince Zi'an, he was a chivalrous man who hated those who bullied the weak. He looked at the maid on the ground and said gently, "Get out!"
Then he met Xue Qingqing's face and saw that she looked arrogant and unreasonable, which made people hate her. "Our prince said that if you wake up, Madam, you can go back by yourself if you are fine! Your sister who became a princess has been released. If you want to see her, go and see her by yourself!"
"Released?" Xue Qingqing's originally angry face was now filled with even more rage. Could it be that he was teasing her?
But if I go back like this without explaining anything to Yuwen Bo, will he really kill me?
The more Xue Qingqing thought about it, the more horrible it seemed to her, so she came up with a plan.
