The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"This……"

Xu Wanchou looked at Ruan Yunluo with some doubt, and said curiously, "Madam, why don't you ask the Third Prince directly about this matter? It should be easier for the Third Prince to investigate this than for me."

"I've thought about that..."

Smiling helplessly, Ruan Yunluo sighed and explained, "Let's wait until we find out something before telling him. Everything is still unclear now, and I don't want to upset Concubine Yi."

"I see,"

Nodding in understanding, Xu Wanchou agreed, "Okay, then leave this matter to me. I will start investigating immediately after the matter at the Zhenguo Mansion is over."

"Well, thank you."

"You are too polite, madam. I have to thank you for your help in my grandfather's matter."

As he spoke, Xu Wanchou bowed respectfully.

He was about to say goodbye and leave when the constable from the Dali Temple came in hurriedly and reported to Xu Wanchou: "My lord, something bad has happened. Hua Weiwei in Shuxiang Lane set fire to Lu Yitong's house and killed Lu Yitong's mother. He has already escaped."

"what!"

Hearing this, not only Xu Wanchou was surprised, but Ruan Yunluo was also a little unexpected.

But soon, thinking about how cold and dusty Baoyue looked just now, she nodded in understanding and said to Xu Wanchou, "Official business is more important, so you should go and do your work first."

"Ah."

Xu Wanchou nodded and said goodbye, then left quickly.

Knowing that the world is so big and only the Empress Dowager can save the Zhenguo Mansion, he returned to the Dali Temple, explained the remaining matters roughly, and then took all the people and horses, immediately left the capital, and chased in the direction of Bailuo Temple...

Seven days later.

Hua Weiwei stole a horse and traveled day and night, finally arriving safely at the market near Bailuo Temple on the evening of New Year's Eve.

"Uu——"

Tighten the reins at the market place.

He stretched his neck to take a look at the towering and majestic Bailuo Temple standing solemnly on the hillside not far away. He heaved a sigh of relief and lowered his eyes to take a look at the bustling and lively folk market in front of him with its clusters of lanterns.

Seeing people selling cakes and tea in the market, he swallowed and was struggling over whether to dismount and drink a cup of hot tea to relax.

At this time, a burst of vigorous horse hooves sounded behind him, and Xu Wanchou led his men to catch up with him in a menacing manner.

Seeing Hua Weiwei whipping her whip and preparing to rush out of the market, he immediately called out, "Hua Weiwei, something happened to your grandmother."

"what?"

The hand holding the whip suddenly froze. Hua Weiwei turned his horse's head and looked at Xu Wanchou in disbelief with a frown. "What did you say just now? Say it again."

"Ugh……"

Leaning on the horse's back and sighing, Xu Wanchou secretly raised his hand, signaling the detectives to surround Hua Weiwei first.

Then he looked at Hua Weiwei with emotion, and after briefly telling Hua Weiwei the scene of the house raid that day, he took the opportunity to persuade, "Master Hua, just surrender. Things have come to this point, you can't escape."

"is it?"

Hua Weiwei sneered.

Looking at the constables who were gradually surrounding him, and the people who were watching the excitement from afar, he controlled the reins of his horse with one hand and retreated step by step towards the market behind him.

Then the other hand was raised.

He put his cold, stiff fingers, which were already covered with blisters, into his arms and smiled at Xu Wanchou through gritted teeth.

"Be careful."

Seeing Hua Weiwei's actions, Xu Wanchou frowned and was about to draw his sword vigilantly.

At this time, Hua Weiwei took out a stack of silver bills from his arms, swung his arm, and threw it hard at Xu Wanchou.

"Wow—"

Silver bills flew all over the sky, hitting Xu Wanchou and others.

"Silver bills! They are silver bills!"

When the people watching the excitement saw the banknotes, they immediately rushed over at the top of their voices, and forced Xu Wanchou and others to retreat step by step.

"Humph."

Hua Weiwei looked provocatively at Xu Wanchou and his companions who were retreating across from him, as if they were afraid of hurting the people. He sneered and turned his horse around, immediately galloping towards Bailuo Temple without looking back...

"Ugh……"

Looking down at the dense crowd of people blocking his way, then looking up at the back of Hua Weiwei galloping away on horseback, Xu Wanchou sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The horse driver slowly withdrew from the crowd, and he and the detectives first found an inn nearby to stay.

Then he bathed, changed into his official uniform, and immediately rode to Bailuo Temple to meet the Queen Mother...

At the same time, Bailuo Temple.

Under the setting sun, in the quiet and solemn backyard Zen temple.

The Queen Mother sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, twirling Buddhist beads in her hands, and was listening quietly to His Highness's lecture on the scriptures.

At this time, a burst of hurried and staggering footsteps were heard, accompanied by a faint voice of "Young Master Hua, slow down." Hua Weiwei staggered in from outside, knelt down and called out to the Queen Mother, then fainted from exhaustion in front of the Queen Mother's palace.

"Weiwei?"

The empress dowager was shocked when she saw Hua Weiwei, exhausted and looking miserable, fainting in front of the palace.

She raised her hand to let the host leave first. She stood up holding the Buddhist beads and was just about to summon the imperial physician to come and check on Hua Weiwei.

At this time, Hua Weiwei struggled to wake up again.

Kneeling down at the feet of the Empress Dowager, he grabbed the corner of her clothes, raised his head and breathlessly reported: "Empress Dowager, it's bad, something...something happened in the capital...Overnight, the Imperial Aunt and cousin were deposed, and the Zhenguo Mansion was also...also raided..."

"what!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes went dark and she staggered back half a step.

"The Queen Mother!"

Hua Weiwei was startled and quickly crawled up, and together with the surrounding maids, supported the empress dowager.

Carefully helping the Queen Mother sit down on the chair beside her, he took the teacup with shaking hands and handed it to her. After the Queen Mother drank the tea and calmed down for a while, he wiped his tears and asked, "Queen Mother, now the people from the Dali Temple have chased us to the Bailuo Temple. What do you think we should do next?"

"Let me think about it..."

The Queen Mother pinched her brows tiredly, her heart in a mess.

Of course she wanted to go back immediately and protect the Crown Prince, the Queen, and the Hua family.

But it is easy to imagine that since the emperor has gone this far, he must have already obtained enough evidence and has reached the point of being unable to tolerate it anymore and will never turn back.

He was willing to transfer her away before taking action, which might be a way of saving her face.

"Ugh……"

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly, feeling torn.

At this point, she knew that her best option was to ignore it and preserve the last bit of mother-son affection.

But the Hua family is her blood-related maternal family after all.

She has come to where she is today, and her son has become the emperor step by step, all of which are inseparable from the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

It's impossible for her to give up the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion just as her son has secured the throne.

"Ugh……"

With another helpless sigh, the Queen Mother said to the old nanny beside her: "Send someone back to the capital to see what's going on and see if there's any room for maneuver. If it doesn't work, it would be good to save their lives first."

"As for you..."

Patting Hua Weiwei's shoulder helplessly, the Queen Mother comforted him, "Since the people from the Dali Temple are trying to catch you, you should stay in the Bailuo Temple first.

Have a good rest. Don't worry, with me here, no one from the Dali Temple will dare to set foot in Bailuo Temple."

"But……"

Hua Weiwei wanted to say something more anxiously.

At this time, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, the Grand Court Judge Xu Wanchou is here to see you and is outside the Bailuo Temple."

"No, tell the people from the Dali Temple not to set foot in Bailuo Temple and disturb me, otherwise I will kill them without mercy."

"Yes."

The guards outside the door took the order and left.

"Okay, you can go down too."

Waving her hand tiredly, the Queen Mother ordered Hua Weiwei to leave as well.

"Yes."

Hua Weiwei nodded helplessly and immediately left the meditation room.

After taking a bath and changing clothes under the guidance of the guards and eating some vegetarian food, he learned that Xu Wanchou was still waiting outside the Bailuo Temple. He rolled his eyes and swaggered to the gate of the Bailuo Temple...
