The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?
Chapter 48 The chess game is ready
Unfortunately, the palace was on full alert and all the guards were unable to find the assassin.
Even after checking all the people who stayed in the palace again, no suspicious people were found.
The assassin seemed to have evaporated without a trace.
When Jinyou rushed to Xiao Yunzhen's room, Xiaotuanzi was still sleeping and was not woken by the commotion outside.
The wet nurse standing beside Xiao Yunzhen was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by He Jinyou. He shook his head and left the room, leaving the wet nurse confused.
"Que'er, you stay here tonight to protect the Sixth Prince."
"Yes! I obey my orders."
Is the Sixth Prince in the palace? Zhao Wuming stood behind the two of them, his mind racing.
Since the Sixth Prince is here, but the assassin only killed Li Shuyun and did not attack the Sixth Prince, I'm afraid it was the person sent by that person.
Zhao Wuming had a plan in mind and was ready to say goodbye to Jinyou. The daughter and the list had nothing to do with him. The most important thing at this moment was to save his life.
"Sir, since such an accident has occurred, I will not disturb you any further. I will take my leave now."
"Why doesn't Lord Zhao plan to take Miss Zhao's body back?"
"This..." Zhao Wuming hesitated. He was devoted to Chunniang and never knew that she had a confidante outside behind his back. If he had known earlier, how could he have brought her back home and had a daughter with her?
Chunniang was so beautiful at the time that Zhao Wuming wanted to make her his concubine after bringing her back home. However, the Yue family was so powerful that he gave up the idea.
Thinking about it now, how ridiculous were his ideas?
Even when he saw Zhao Zhener's body again at this moment, Zhao Wuming couldn't help feeling nauseous.
Not to mention bringing the body back home.
"No need for that. Since the rebellious girl is involved in the incident that the prince wants to investigate, how dare this humble servant go against his wishes? He should understand and respect her."
"Oh? Lord Zhao just kept saying that he would take Miss Zhao back home, and would rather be cursed outside the palace than not take her back. What's going on now?"
The sarcasm in He Jinyou's tone was too strong. Zhao Wuming avoided Jinyou's probing gaze and said, "It is your humble servant who is rude. Tomorrow your humble servant will come and apologize. However, this rebellious girl is useful to the prince. Your humble servant..."
He Jinyou sneered, "This prince understands Lord Zhao's intentions. If the case is solved in the future, I will give Lord Zhao a credit. This prince will submit a memorial in the name of my father to extol Lord Zhao's selfless dedication."
Zhao Wuming's face flushed with anger after hearing what he said. He not only lost face but also dignity.
"Yes, Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I apologize for disturbing you."
"Well, please do as you please, Lord Zhao. After the case is solved, Miss Zhao will return it to you."
Return... Zhao Wuming gritted his teeth. Is this to treat Zhao Zhener as an object and return it anytime and anywhere?
But what could he say? With a concubine like this and a daughter who was so unfaithful to her husband, Zhao Wuming would rather not have these two shameful things!
Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Zhener again, with hidden disgust in his eyes.
He said, "It's all up to the prince."
Zhao Wuming left without any of the anger he had when he came, and left in a very carefree manner.
In his heart, Zhao Zhener had become a useless waste, and pretending to be a kind father would only make people feel disgusted.
"Come on, follow him."
The chess game is set, waiting for the opponent to make his move.
Shadow Guard's investigation has not been without progress in the past few days. He has found some clues from the clues he pieced together.
But still couldn't find the person behind it.
Who has the list?
...
Zhao Wuming was taken out of the palace by the housekeeper He Bo. At this time, the outside of the palace had been cleaned up.
"Master Zhao, take care."
"Yeah." Zhao Wuming shook his sleeves, walked away without looking back, and walked into the darkness.
He Bo's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and returned home.
He still has to go back and interrogate the people he has detained.
Humph, he will not let go of anyone who hides among the people and damages the reputation of the prince!
……
Zhao Wuming didn't know that he was being followed by the shadow guard. He turned a few corners and walked to the back door of a house, knocking three times lightly and twice heavily.
Soon, the door creaked open from the inside.
Zhao Wuming slipped in, the servant stuck his head out to look around, then quietly closed the door.
"Sir, my master has been waiting for you for a long time." He was a young man, but his voice was sharp and feminine. Just by listening to his voice, you could tell that he was from the palace.
Zhao Wuming lowered his head, suppressed the coldness in his body, and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the visitor.
"Yes, please lead the way, sir."
The young father-in-law took Zhao Wuming to a tea room. When he opened the door, the room was brightly lit and filled with the aroma of hot steam and tea.
The third prince sat at the top, with a young man sitting next to him.
Zhao Wuming hurriedly saluted when he saw the two of them, "Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince!"
"Get up, Lord Zhao. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I finally have you here. How are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"
The Third Prince's voice was as mellow as jade, as clear and crisp as pearls falling on a jade plate, but he had a feminine face, and his appearance did not match his voice, which gave people an extreme shock.
Zhao Wuming fell to his knees and hurriedly explained, "I am incompetent. I originally wanted to kill Li, but I don't know who sent the assassin to kill her. She never confessed a single word until her death."
Xiao Mingli chuckled and said, "Please sit down, Master Zhao, there's no need to be so reserved. It's a good thing that Li is gone."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Mingli personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Wuming and pushed it in front of him. "Master Zhao, please try my tea. This tea is a specialty of Yanzhi. However, I am used to brewing tea with the same tea art as in the palace, which has caused the tea to lose its original flavor."
Zhao Wuming picked up the teacup, scraped off the foam, and took a sip of tea.
The bitterness of the tea leaves and the sourness of the seasonings exploded in his mouth. Not only did he fail to taste the fragrance of the tea, but he was choked and his face turned red and his throat was sore.
He coughed, and under the Third Prince's expectant gaze, he commented, "This tea... is excellent, and your Highness's craftsmanship... is even better..."
"I agree with you." The Third Prince poured another cup of tea for Zhao Wuming. "If you like, please drink more."
Zhao Wuming: ...Who loves to drink your tea!!!
He coughed, suppressing the tingling in his throat, and said to the Third Prince, "Your Highness, please discuss business. This humble official's commotion outside the Prince Regent's Palace today was not entirely without gain. At least one thing is certain: He Qianzhao is definitely not recuperating at home. He doesn't seem to be in the capital!"
Xiao Mingli was stunned for a moment, paused in making the matcha in his hand, and then continued making the matcha.
He said nonchalantly, "He Qianzhao always does what he wants. There's no need for you to be so surprised when he's not in the capital."
"But Your Highness, now that He Qianzhao has handed over the power of the palace to a young boy, it is a good time for us to suppress him. He Jinyou has already participated in this matter. Your Highness, shouldn't you..."
Zhao Wuming made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Now is the best time to get rid of him!"
But Xiao Mingli shook his head in disagreement. "Can you guarantee that He Qianzhao won't return to the capital? A few years ago, when He Qianzhao went to Luoyang, we sent more people to intercept him on the way, but he still escaped. The loss of countless people...Now Second Brother is impatient and I think he doesn't want He Qianzhao to return to the capital the most. As long as we can hide behind Second Brother and have a sip of soup, I will be satisfied."
