"I can hand the person over to you, but I have already handed all the evidence to Lord Zhao."

The most important thing now is to find Liu Laogui. The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then we will replace him in Qingling Mountain in three days."

With the answer, Lu Xuan didn't stay any longer.

However, he began to wonder if the person who kidnapped his aunt was actually the prince's men. The prince had kidnapped people to threaten him, and he had clearly proposed an exchange, so why didn't he agree at first?

Could it be that someone took advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters?

As soon as he left, Zhu Liu hurried over and whispered a few words in the prince's ear.

The prince's face changed, "What does father say?"

Zhu Liu said cautiously: "The emperor said that such a small matter had been brought to the imperial court, which was a disgrace to the royal family. I ask you to handle this matter as soon as possible!"

He hadn't slept since he came back last night. The wounds on his body had split open due to the movements, and he looked pale with pain.

The prince glanced at him and said, "Since you are injured, go down and rest. Let Shen Nian and Mei San come to me."

The three cousins ​​he used most easily were his three cousins, but Zhu Er and Zhu San were already dead, and now only Zhu Liu was left, and he almost died in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion last night.

Zhu Liu really couldn't hold on any longer, so he took the order and retreated.

Shen Nian and Mei San went to the prince's study.

The prince pinched his brows in a headache, "Shen Nian, go and liquidate all the manors and shops under my name, and collect enough money to deal with the matter of Zhen Ni Fang."

As a prince, after this incident, his pockets are cleaner than his face.

From now on, let alone luxurious enjoyment, there won’t be enough money even to pay for the servants.

This matter is not the most important thing at the moment. He instructed Mei San: "Find a woman who is similar in size to the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, and have someone disguise herself as her. Go to Qingling Mountain in three days and find a way to deceive the people of the Zhenguo Mansion and get Liu Laogui back."

Three days?

Mei San did not dare to delay. After receiving the order, he immediately left the East Palace and asked someone to inquire about Lu's whereabouts.

In recent years, Lu has been secluded and the only person she has good contact with is Yueying. Mei San spent a long time asking around before he was able to find out a little bit of information.

Time was urgent, so he could only go find a woman with a similar figure with the information.

The cold wind blowing on my face felt like a knife cutting.

The crown prince was impeached, but the third prince who impeached him did not fare well either, as he was severely reprimanded by the emperor.

He returned to his prince's palace with a gloomy face, and Zhao Zhong just happened to walk over with a happy look on his face.

"Your Highness, there is news about the elixir that the Emperor takes every day."

"how?"

"It is indeed as you guessed. That elixir is not a longevity elixir at all, but a poisonous elixir mixed with immortal powder. If you take it for a long time, you will die from internal organ failure!"

The Third Prince pursed his lips, his expression dark, "Where did you get this information from?"

"It's Doctor Pang."

"Doctor Pang?"

Zhao Zhong hummed.

"Doctor Pang is not a talkative person, how could he suddenly reveal this news?" The third prince pondered for a moment and guessed in his heart, "If Doctor Pang knew, then the people in the Zhenguo Mansion should have known it long ago."

They knew about this, but they didn't alert my father...

They also want their father to die!!!

Thinking of this, the Third Prince's breathing quickened. "Order people to keep this a secret. It must not be leaked!"

It was indeed the Old Madam who asked Imperial Doctor Pang to deliberately leak this matter to the Third Prince. Since they were going to fight, it naturally couldn't be that her Zhenguo Mansion fought with the Crown Prince while the Third Prince sat back and reaped the benefits.

Lu Xuan relayed the prince's words to the old lady and Bai Youyou, and even Bai Youyou could hear something strange in them.

"You mean the prince first denied that my mother was in his hands, but then suddenly agreed to replace her?"

This transformation is so strange.

Lu Xuan nodded, "Indeed."

He expressed his suspicions, "I suspect that it was not only the prince's men who came to our house last night, and the one who kidnapped my aunt might not be the prince."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Third Prince to see if he is the one causing trouble."

The old lady had been up all night and now looked tired. In addition, she had caught a cold in the past two days and her throat was a little hoarse.

No matter whether the person is in the hands of the crown prince or the third prince, his life will not be in danger, so she felt at ease.

Xu Lingyun only learned from Bai Luochuan that Lu had been abducted. He ignored his injuries and let him support him to the old lady's yard.

"Uncle Xu, your injuries haven't healed yet!"

When Bai Youyou saw this, she quickly stood up and went over to support his other arm.

"I heard from Luo Chuan that your mother was kidnapped. Do you know who did it?"

Xu Lingyun sat on the chair, and Bai Youyou quickly asked Xiaoju to bring a blanket to cover him.

He has injured his heart and lungs, and he can't get cold, otherwise his coughing will tear the unhealed wounds.

Bai Youyou took out another hand warmer and stuffed it into his hand, then said, "We guess that my mother is not in the hands of the crown prince. It is possible that the third prince took her away during the chaos."

Xu Lingyun was surprised, "Have you tried to test the prince?"

Lu Xuan nodded, "I went to the East Palace this morning. The prince refused to acknowledge me at first, but later changed his attitude and acknowledged me."

He repeated what the prince said, and Xu Lingyun also guessed, "It seems that someone wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Everyone here can guess who this person is using their toes.

"I have known many people in my years as an official. I will send a letter to Captain Liu and ask them to help find him."

The old lady fixed her eyes on his face for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Xu."

"I am the one who has troubled you for so many days."

Xu Lingyun's words made Bai Youyou anxious, "Uncle Xu, you should take good care of yourself here and come back after your injury is healed."

But she knew that the Xu Mansion didn't even have underground heating, and in the middle of winter, apart from the clothes, all she had to rely on was her righteousness.

"Just recuperate here." The old lady also spoke.

Bai Luochuan also said: "Uncle Xu, let's stay here. I just want to show my filial piety to you."

"OK then."

Seeing that several people wanted to keep him, Xu Lingyun agreed with a smile.

It’s good to be here. I can wait for news from the Lu family.

As they were talking, the doorman came and said that Huang Shanshan and her brother Huang Jiayuan were looking for him.

When Bai Luochuan heard this, a tiny light flashed in his dark eyes for a moment. He said something to the old lady and Xu Lingyun, then ran out happily.

In Bai Luochuan's yard, Huang Jiayuan pouted with dissatisfaction, "Sister, he is just a little scholar now, what qualifications does he have to guide me in my studies?"

"Quiet!"

Huang Shanshan frowned and rebuked him, "Didn't I tell you that his teacher is the top scholar in the top three, Lord Xu? If you get close to him, you will definitely get some pointers from Lord Xu in the future. Others can't even think of such a good thing, and you are still complaining. Can I harm you?"
