God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 469: Incoming to the Capital
Mr. Fan received an urgent letter from the palace. He opened the envelope with trepidation, unfolded the letter and began to read.
"Mr. Fan, this matter is extremely important. I hope you will take good care of that person. You must try your best to find out from him who was responsible for the theft of military rations. If you can find out the mastermind behind this, you will be able to eliminate a powerful enemy for my son..." Seeing this, Mr. Fan couldn't help but frown, knowing that the responsibility of this matter was heavy.
At this moment, an anxious report from a subordinate suddenly came from outside the door: "Sir, the man is awake!"
Fan was shocked and quickly responded, "Okay, I understand. I'll go over and take a look in a moment."
Afterwards, Fan began to pace back and forth in the room, secretly thinking about what method he should use to successfully extract valuable information from that person.
Time passed minute by minute. Sometimes he stopped and frowned in thought; sometimes he continued to walk slowly, stroking his chin with his hands from time to time.
After a brief thought, Fan took a deep breath and walked towards the room where the man was imprisoned with steady steps.
When he gently pushed open the door, he saw the person lying on the bed. He was extremely weak and his face was as pale as paper. Although his eyes were barely open, there was a clear hint of fear and vigilance in his eyes.
Seeing this, Fan quickly put on a kind smile, and deliberately slowed down his speech, and asked softly: "You finally woke up, how do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing the voice, the man turned his neck with difficulty, cast his eyes towards Fan, and asked in confusion: "Who are you...?"
Fan still kept smiling, and replied calmly and gently: "I am a businessman. When I passed by Xiafeng Valley, I found that you were still breathing, so I saved you."
The man said with gratitude: "Thank you for saving my life! If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have died here today."
Fan frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Looking at your attire, you must be an official escorting military rations, right? How could you be so careless and encounter such a disaster?"
However, in response to Fan's questioning, the man kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Fan was not angry. He just waved his hand gently and said in a gentle voice: "Forget it, since you don't want to mention this matter, let's put it aside for now. You just need to rest here and recuperate. There is no need to worry too much about other things."
After saying this, Fan looked at the man quietly, but the man kept his head down and remained silent.
After a while, Fan sighed helplessly and continued, "If you need anything, just tell the servants to do it. I have something important to attend to, so I'll leave first. When your injury gets better, we'll talk in detail."
After saying that, Fan turned and left, leaving the man sitting alone in the room, looking at his receding back with a complicated expression.
Inside the palace, the emperor was handling government affairs in the imperial study when a guard hurried over and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, we just received a secret report that the military rations shipped to the border were robbed on the way."
Upon hearing this, the emperor slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily: "What! The military rations were robbed? This is unacceptable!"
He was so angry that his face turned blue, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were full of anger: "Send someone to call Prince Yu to me immediately! I want to ask him what is going on!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Shun did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly bowed and responded, "Yes, sir. I'll do it right away!" After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Not long after, Eunuch Shun arrived at the gate of Prince Yu's mansion.
On both sides of the door, two burly and majestic guards stood upright.
One of the guards stared ahead with a sharp gaze. When he saw the person coming, he bowed slightly and said, "Eunuch Shun, you are here to see our prince?"
Seeing this, Eunuch Shun quickly quickened his pace and walked forward, his face full of anxiety, and said, "That's right! The emperor has an urgent matter to summon the prince, take me to see the prince quickly!"
The guard did not dare to neglect and quickly responded, "Eunuch, please follow me."
Then he turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and led Eunuch Shun into the mansion.
At this time, Prince Yu was sitting in the study with several advisers in the mansion, discussing the issue of food and fodder with serious expressions.
Prince Yu asked, "Have the military rations been arranged?"
The guard Wang Ying standing by immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have arranged for someone to take him to his destination according to your instructions."
Prince Yu nodded slightly, showing satisfaction, and then reminded: "This matter is of great importance, it must be done flawlessly, and no clues must be left behind."
All the counselors nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the study, breaking the originally serious and tense atmosphere in the room.
Prince Yu could not help but frown, his face showing displeasure, and he shouted loudly: "Why are you making so much noise?"
Before he finished speaking, a guard ran into the study in a panic, fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "My Lord, this is bad, someone is coming from the palace."
Hearing this, Prince Yu was startled, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he hurriedly asked: "Who is coming? What's the matter?"
The guard hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and replied, "Your Highness, the person who came is Shun Gonggong, who is beside the emperor. He said that he has important matters to discuss with you in accordance with the emperor's order."
Hearing this, Prince Yu and Wang Ying beside him could not help but look at each other. When their eyes met, they seemed to see the ominous premonition gradually rising in each other's hearts.
Despite his turbulent heart, Prince Yu quickly calmed himself down and tried to appear calm.
He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "In that case, please invite Eunuch Shun in to meet me."
Not long after, Eunuch Shun walked in at a leisurely pace.
His originally expressionless face now looked as if covered with frost, making people feel intimidated.
He walked straight to Prince Yu without looking around, and said in a tone without any emotion: "Your Highness Prince Yu, the emperor summons you to the palace immediately. Please follow me into the palace as soon as possible."
Prince Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he still wore a humble smile on his face. He quickly bowed and asked, "Please tell me, Eunuch Shun, why did the emperor summon me this time?"
However, in response to Prince Yu's inquiry, Eunuch Shun simply glanced at him coldly, and then said indifferently: "Your Highness will naturally know when you go there." After that, he said no more.
Seeing that he could not get any useful information from Eunuch Shun, Prince Yu knew that it was not appropriate to pester him too much at this time, so he could only sigh, stand up and follow Eunuch Shun to the palace.
After entering the palace, I saw that the entire palace was filled with a depressing and solemn atmosphere.
Walking along the long palace road, we finally arrived at the imperial study.
At this time, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power, with a gloomy face, exuding a terrifying majesty.
Seeing the emperor, Prince Yu did not dare to neglect him. He knelt on his knees and bowed respectfully, shouting: "Your son pays homage to the emperor. Long live your father."
However, the emperor did not seem to take Prince Yu's visit seriously. He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted angrily, "Rebellious son, do you know your crime?"
This sudden roar exploded in the hall like thunder, shaking Prince Yu's heartstrings.
But he still calmed down, raised his head and looked at the emperor with an innocent face, and responded carefully: "Father, please calm down. I really don't know what I have done to make you so angry."
The emperor threw a secret letter in front of him: "Look for yourself!"
