The tyrant is changing the plot madly because of the fake princess's voice
Chapter 43 The kids in South Village bully me because I’m old and weak!
The whole room was empty.
Except for the large pieces of furniture, even the quilt on the bed was looted!
Gu Yurou rushed into the house and rummaged through the rag bundle she had placed in the corner.
Got nothing.
There was nothing left in this room.
Countless possibilities flashed through her mind in an instant.
Was her identity discovered?
But that’s not right either.
If her identity had really been exposed, according to Emperor Da Rui Mingze's style of doing things, someone should have rushed into her room and tied her up by now.
But if she was really robbed, her bag looked very worn out, and there was nothing in it, and...
What kind of thief would not even leave her a quilt? !
She turned and rushed out of the yard, wanting to look for clues, but found that screams were heard all over the Duke's Mansion.
"Oh! My jewelry! All my jewelry is gone!"
"Even the brocade I just spent a lot of money to buy is gone!"
"What kind of thief is it that doesn't even leave the bed and quilt for others?!"
"They even dared to come in and steal from the Duke's Mansion. I will definitely report it to the police tomorrow morning!"
Gu Yurong slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the thief was not targeting me alone.
In the darkness, the cold light that flashed across Gu Yurou's eyes flickered like stars.
It's fine.
She encouraged herself.
That thing looks inconspicuous. Even if it is stolen, it should be back on the market soon.
She just took a careful look around.
Gu Yurou turned around and went back to her room.
The night wind was very cold and she walked in a hurry, but she didn't know that every time she passed a courtyard, the people there would ask the maid to bring her a new quilt and sleep comfortably.
In the entire Duke's Mansion, Gu Yurou was the only one who endured the cold all night.
In the alley behind the Duke's Mansion, a dozen sturdy men in black night clothes were staring at each other.
An awkward atmosphere spread silently in the air.
Until someone laughed dryly and said, "Brother Zheng, why did you come here in person?"
The person who was called tried his best to clasp his fists and said, "Brother Zhu, you are here too. What a coincidence."
After everyone greeted each other, the atmosphere fell strangely silent again.
"Uh..." Someone couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore and suggested, "Why don't we look through the bag to see if there's anything that looks like a tiger talisman?"
Someone immediately responded: "Look!"
This proposal was approved by everyone. A dozen men in black took off the bags on their backs at the same time and searched the alley openly.
"Here is a bag of clothes. The tiger talisman should not be with me..."
"Here is a box of jewelry. I have to show it to the little princess in a few days..."
"No, why did you even take the quilt?!"
"Hey, what if she got it sewn into the quilt? I'm just too careful!"
"..."
A dozen "bandits" who had met by chance in Gu Yurou's room an hour ago completed the "stolen goods sale" activity in this alley in unprecedented harmony.
The next morning, Duke Wang was acquitted.
He returned to the door of his Duke's Mansion with a beaming smile on his face, but before he could be happy for half an hour, his eyes widened with anger at the tragic scene before him.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, his daughter-in-law Bu Ning'an quickly stuffed the baby in her hands into Duke Wang's arms and said, "Father, you are finally back. Xinrui missed you so much."
The little guy liked this grandpa very much. As soon as he fell into his arms, he laughed out loud in support.
As expected, Duke Wang calmed down.
Xiao Xinrui's face was round, fair, and lovely, which instantly reminded him of the little princess he saw in prison.
And the little princess's strange voice.
Duke Wang paused for a moment, then recalled the guilty looks he had received along the way, and suddenly he had a new guess about the situation in front of him!
"Prepare the official uniform for me!" He stuffed his granddaughter back into his daughter-in-law's arms, turned around and told the maid behind him, "I'm going to the palace now!"
That bastard Lu Yao, he must be involved in this matter!!
In Chongyun Palace, Jiang Yingcheng was drowsy.
After bathing yesterday, she argued with her mother for a long time before letting sleepiness drag her into sleep.
When she was dug up by her mother before dawn today, she felt that her life would be as dark as this sky, forever bleak and dim!
But today, for some reason, her handsome father, the Emperor, did not prepare a screen for her. At the moment, she was face to face with all the civil and military officials in the court, and she was too embarrassed to doze off in public.
Just when she was about to give up, a eunuch suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry, approached the side of Eunuch Changshun, whispered a few words, and then hurried away.
After Eunuch Changshun presented the news to Jiang Yanchuan, he received an almost invisible nod from the other party.
Eunuch Changshun stood up and said, "Announce Lord Wang to enter the palace..."
A moment later, an old man with gray hair but unusually strong appeared at the door of the hall, and walked briskly and calmly to the front of the ministers.
Jiang Yingcheng finally came to his senses: [Ah! It’s the muscular grandpa! ! ]
At the same time, several coughs were heard from the audience, caused by choking on their own saliva. Duke Wang paused suspiciously for a moment, and then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yingcheng's face was full of question marks.
[Strange, has everyone caught a cold? ]
But no one coughed before? !
The ministers soon returned to normal and Jiang Yingcheng no longer cared about it.
Her attention was drawn to Duke Wang in front of her.
[Wow, after Grandpa Wang put on his beautiful clothes, he looks much more energetic! ]
Duke Wang showed a kind smile on his face.
The little guy's eyes were bright, and he became visibly happier from the moment he saw himself, which showed how much the little guy liked him!
[Sure enough! Fitness is the best medical beauty for men! ! ]
The smile on Duke Wang's lips froze for a moment.
He can probably understand the word fitness, but what about "medical beauty"?
Is he too old? Why can't he understand what the little princess says? !
There were several bursts of laughter from the audience.
Before Jiang Yingcheng could get suspicious again because of the strange reaction of the courtiers, Jiang Yanchuan spoke first: "The Duke has just returned to the palace, why don't you take a good rest for a few days?"
He ordered Lu Yao to release Duke Wang from the prison this morning simply because of two considerations.
First, he guessed that someone must have sneaked into the Duke's Mansion last night to try to find the half tiger talisman.
Secondly, he also wanted to let Duke Wang have a good rest for two days.
Although Duke Wang is old, he is a person who cannot sit still. If he had released the person last night, he would definitely come to attend the court meeting this morning.
Unexpectedly, even so, he still came.
Duke Wang stood in front of the ministers and saluted Jiang Yanchuan in a proper manner. Then he said in a loud voice: "I feel poetic today. I suddenly want to recite a poem in front of my colleagues. I don't want to wait any longer, so I hurried over here."
"Oh?"
Jiang Yanchuan clenched his fist and placed it on his forehead, making an expression that showed he was willing to hear more details, and said, "Mr. Wang, please feel free to do as you please."
Duke Wang got Jiang Yanchuan's permission, turned around and faced the officials, his eyes burning -
"The children in the south village bully me because I am old and weak, how dare they be thieves in front of me!"
