After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street
Chapter 66 How dare you hide a man
"Stop!" Fu Yansheng's majestic voice came from outside the door. He quickly followed up with a sharp gaze, stopping the strong man's further actions.
"How dare you break into my wife's room!" Fu Yansheng's angry rebuke was like a blade in the cold wind, cold and sharp.
Seeing this, the sturdy man rolled his eyes and tried to argue: "I just heard that the Prime Minister's jade bracelet was missing, and I wanted to help you find it. I have no ill intentions!"
Fu Yansheng snorted coldly and ordered: "My lady, I can take care of Fu myself, you leave immediately!"
The strong man knew he was in the wrong, so he dared not say anything more and retreated in shame.
As the burly man left, the atmosphere in the room became heavy. Fu Yansheng turned his gaze to Ling Mohui and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way, Ling Mohui!"
"I don't have the jade bracelet you're looking for. You'd better search somewhere else!" Ling Mo replied firmly, not backing down.
"Ling Mohui, the emperor's lost jade bracelet is a serious matter. The whole capital is in a state of panic. You'd better not get involved in this matter, lest you bring trouble upon yourself!"
Fu Yansheng's words were like an invisible lock, revealing unquestionable authority.
The news that the emperor had lost his jade bracelet made Ling Mohui's heart tremble. Today's Hongfu Temple was indeed unusual.
If Zheng Jiaxuan were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
She must protect him and not let Fu Yansheng notice anything.
"I've made it very clear. The people and things you're looking for are not here. Stop making trouble!" Ling Mohui's tone became more resolute and her stance was firm.
However, Fu Yansheng narrowed his eyes: "Since you are not hiding anything, why do you have to stop me from checking the closet? Ling Mohui, do you really think you can fool me?"
Ling Mohui was speechless for a moment, her mind racing, thinking about how to escape.
As he was hesitating, the closet door opened silently, and a man wearing a silver mask walked out slowly, interrupting the tense atmosphere.
Ling Mohui was shocked and confused, while Fu Yansheng's face was gloomy: "Ling Mohui! Who is this person?"
There was uncontrollable anger and confusion in his voice.
"How should I know who he is!" Ling Mohui was panic-stricken. She felt an inexplicable tension and astonishment surging into her heart like a tide. This guy seemed like a ghost, appearing silently in this place that should have been airtight.
"Ling Mohui! This is an important place, how dare you hide a man in secret!"
There was uncontrollable anger in Fu Yansheng's voice, and the wrinkles between his brows seemed to indicate his rage.
"I..." Ling Mohui was about to open her mouth to argue, but was speechless for a moment. The grievance and confusion in her heart were like boiling magma.
"Is this what Prime Minister Fu is looking for?" The silver-faced man flipped his wrist lightly, with a bit of calmness and disdain in his movement, and a clear and transparent jade bracelet with a warm luster instantly appeared in the moonlight.
"Come here! Catch him!" Fu Yansheng gave an order. The determination in his voice was like a sharp sword. The guards moved in response, and the air was suddenly filled with tension and urgency.
The masked man had a faint smile on his face, and his figure was like a ghost in the night. He jumped out of the window with a light flash, leaving behind a string of heart-pounding chuckles.
"Chase!" Fu Yansheng's brief and powerful command echoed in the night sky. His followers reacted quickly and jumped out of the window one after another.
Ling Mohui saw Fu Yansheng standing in front of the window with a serious face, and hurriedly explained: "Listen to me, I really don't know him, I didn't steal the emperor's things! This is all just a misunderstanding..."
"Then what are you blocking?" Fu Yansheng glanced at her, his eyes full of suspicion and inquiry.
"I..." Ling Mo was speechless. Even though she had thousands of words in her heart, they turned into silent sighs at this moment.
"I'll settle the score with you later!" Fu Yansheng left a meaningful remark, and his figure immediately disappeared out of the window, chasing after the unfinished game.
The noise of the crowd gradually faded away, and the room returned to silence. Only Ling Mohui was left, and her heartbeat could be heard clearly.
She hurriedly closed the doors and windows, turned around and opened the wardrobe, only to see Zheng Jiaxuan lying quietly inside, his face pale, obviously unconscious.
Thanks to the loyalty shown by the masked man at the critical moment, he cleverly led away the tracking guards. Otherwise, given Zheng Jiaxuan's current condition, he would probably be in great danger.
Thinking of this, Ling Mohui couldn't help but feel a little grateful.
She immediately ordered her maid Moqi to get the medicine box from the carriage, and she carefully began to bandage Zheng Jiaxuan's visible and hidden wounds.
"Find another set of clean clothes for Zheng Jiaxuan to change into."
Ling Mohui's voice was firm. The clothes that had been stained with blood were obviously no longer suitable for wearing.
Just as Ling Mo returned to take care of everything, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door, and Fu Yansheng returned, covered in darkness, panting.
"How is it? Has the emperor's jade bracelet been found?" Ling Mohui asked hurriedly, her tone showing concern and a hint of nervousness.
"I got it." Fu Yansheng responded simply, but his expression seemed to hide more thoughts.
It was not until later that Ling Mohui learned from others that the tablet of the emperor's wet nurse was enshrined in Hongfu Temple. The emperor's secret visit was actually to secretly pay homage to the wet nurse. The jade bracelet, which looked ordinary, actually carried deep emotions. For the emperor, its value was far beyond what money could measure.
"You haven't told me, Ling Mohui, what is your relationship with that guy?"
Fu Yansheng's gaze was as sharp as a torch, shooting straight into Ling Mohui's eyes, full of suspicion and inquiry.
Ling Mohui knew clearly in her heart that if she didn't confess now, Fu Yansheng would most likely treat her as an accomplice.
After weighing the pros and cons, she decided not to hide it anymore.
"Do you still remember the person who broke into the house?" Ling Mohui cleverly changed the subject, trying to guide the conversation in a direction that was beneficial to her.
"People around the Minister of Personnel?" Fu Yansheng frowned slightly, recalling the situation at that time. He felt more and more that there was an indescribable weirdness behind the matter. Why were they looking for the jade bracelet for the emperor, but unexpectedly found that those people seemed to be looking for something important as well?
"You know him? Is he really the Minister of Personnel's subordinate?" Ling Mohui keenly caught the subtle changes in Fu Yansheng's words, and a bold guess vaguely emerged in her mind.
Fu Yansheng frowned, and his tone became more alert: "What does this have to do with you protecting the thieves?"
Ling Mohui quickly waved her hands to deny: "I am not protecting the thieves. Zheng Jiaxuan was actually framed by them."
"It is said that the man was once a close confidant of Wang Ye, the prefect of Linzhou." Ling Mohui added, hoping to provide more clues.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of sudden enlightenment: "Are you saying that the corruption case between Minister of Personnel Zeng Mao and Wang Ye is related?"
These words came out almost immediately, as if all the clues converged at this moment.
