The butler bowed, “Your Lordship, it’s someone from the Grand Prince’s residence.”
He had heard correctly, and Wu Jin took a big step outside, taking a few steps and then suddenly stopping, saying to the housekeeper, “Go and tell the visitor that I have fainted from grief since returning from the palace. Invite the people to the parlour, I’ll be right there.”
The steward went to meet him, and Wu Jin rubbed his eyes red and messed up his hair a bit, and let his two attendants support him as he went to the parlour in a very “weak” state.
The Grand Prince had sent for his close attendant, a white-faced eunuch.
The moment Wu Jin entered, his eyes fell on him.
“I’ve bothered the eunuch to wait for a long time.”
Wu Jin gestured for the two attendants to let go and steadied his body with difficulty.
The close attendant withdrew his gaze and bent slightly, “Eunuch Wu, the Grand Prince has an invitation.”
Wu Jin’s “weak” body swayed, “The Grand Prince has invited me, Wu Jin should have gone, but you see my body now, I am afraid ……”
“Sir Wu, the Grand Prince is only helping out at this time because of the many years of friendship between Lady Shu and Lady Rong, this is the only chance you have, think carefully before you say anything.”
Wu Jin “sincerely fears”, “Your Excellency is right to remind me, it is my fault for being ungrateful, please allow me to clean up and go to see the Grand Prince again.”
Only then was the close servant satisfied.
Wu Jin packed up, left the house, got into a carriage, and went with the attendant to see the Grand Prince.
The carriage did not go directly to the Grand Prince, but turned a corner halfway down the road and stopped in front of a mansion after walking a short distance.
The area was remote and there were no pedestrians passing by.
Wu Jin got off the carriage and took a look at the surroundings, which did not seem to be the East City.
The house was warm with a charcoal fire inside, a world apart from the outside.
Wu Jin knelt down and rested his head on the ground, “I have met the Great Prince.”
“Get up.”
Wu Jin stood up, his body shaking.
The Grand Prince was sympathetic, “Sit down and talk.”
Wu Jin thanked him and sat down, very uneasy.
“You don’t need to be afraid, my palace asked you to come here because my mother had been instructed by Imperial Consort to take good care of the Wu family.”
When he mentioned the imperial concubine, Wu Jin’s tears couldn’t help but flow down.
A big man said crying, the eldest prince heart bored, but on the surface but still comfort, “the imperial concubine has already passed away, you should not be too sad ……”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
The Grand Prince’s face changed, “This is not something to be said ……”
“I am not talking nonsense ……”
Wu Jin crawled a few steps, “Your Highness doesn’t know, not only the Queen, but also the Third Prince and my father were killed because we know a shocking secret.”
The Grand Prince’s heart suddenly beat wildly, he had a vague feeling that this shocking secret Wu Jin was talking about might help him ascend to the throne of the Crown Prince. He glanced at his near-servant, who led the men in the room out.
The Grand Prince bent down to help Wu Jin up and helped him sit down before lowering his voice, “What secret?”
Wu Jin’s lips twitched, “Song Wan Yue’s former fiancé, Gu Yi, is the son of King Qin, Chu Yun Xiao.”
The Grand Prince drew a cold breath, although his father did not say, he knew that Chu Yunxiao was a thorn in his father’s heart, and he had never given up looking for him over the years. There was no telling how much money and material resources would be spent, and in the end, he might not be able to find him! I didn’t expect that the Duke of Qi and the old man would have found him long ago, and they even destroyed 113 members of the Gu family.
“Do you mean that both Old Third and Imperial Consort were killed by Chu Yunxiao’s men?”
That was the only possibility, Chu Yunxiao was already dead, could he still swindle his corpse and crawl out of his grave to kill someone?
Wu Jin shook his head, “Chu Yunxiao was not killed in the first place, he faked his death and escaped, that’s why the Emperor pretended to deport the Third Prince to Youzhou, just to let him check for news of Chu Yunxiao.”
The Grand Prince was incredulous.
At that time, when his father had relegated the third prince to Youzhou, he and the second prince did not know how happy they were …… but it turned out to be another arrangement of his father.
The first one is the one that is the most important.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
The eldest prince felt angry!
Yet he couldn’t care less.
The fact that Chu Yunxiao was still alive excited him, finding him was his father’s obsession, and if he could find him, his father would make him crown prince if he was happy.
“What else do you know?”
“The third prince would not come to Wuji County for no reason, I guess he must have found Chu Yunxiao and chased him here. Wuji County is not far from the capital,and now that the imperial concubine has been killed, I think Chu Yunxiao has come to the capital, Your Highness, you must catch him!”
Chu Yunxiao is in the capital?
If it was true, he would have to dig up the ground to find him!
The Grand Prince suppressed his excitement, “Do you know where he is hiding?”
Wu Jin wanted to shake his head, all this was his guess, he was telling the Grand Prince this to gain his trust first, but then Song Wan Yue’s figure suddenly flashed in his mind, he immediately said, “It’s Song Yin, it must be Song Yin, he, he is Chu Yun Xiao!”
“Song Yin?”
“Yes.”
The more Wu Jin thought about it, the more he thought this was a strong possibility, “Your Highness think about it, if Song Yin wasn’t Chu Yunxiao, how could Song Wan Yue fall in love with him at first sight after a trip to the border? That girl had only come to the capital to sue the emperor for Chu Yunxiao back then, so she would forget about him so quickly?”
“It can’t be him!”
If it really was Song Yin, how could he dare to follow Song Wan Yue around so struttingly and live in the Ding Guo Gong Mansion, wasn’t he afraid that Father would become suspicious?
Furthermore Song Yin had ruined his left arm, if it was really Chu Yunxiao, he wouldn’t let himself be like that.
“Whether it is or not, Your Highness can have someone check. If it is not, Your Highness has nothing to lose, if it is, Your Highness will have helped the emperor get rid of a major problem in his heart, and the crown prince’s seat will be yours.”
The Grand Prince hesitated.
If Song Yin really was Chu Yunxiao, he had naturally made a great achievement. But what if it wasn’t, it had taken him years of work to bring in the Xu family and Song Wangyue, so to do so would be tantamount to pushing someone out, and perhaps to the second side, and then it would be even harder for him to fight for the crown prince’s throne.
“Your Highness ……”
The first prince raised his hand to stop his later words, “This matter is not trivial, I need to think it over, remember, don’t say a word of what you said today outside.”
……
The soap incident has slowly faded into oblivion as three days have passed.
The shop was open daily as usual.
Today is no different.
The shopkeeper opened the door and wiped the counter clean before anyone came to the door.
A horse-drawn carriage pulls up in front of the shop.
The mate happily went to the door and greeted, “Customers inside ……”
Before he finished his sentence, he met the woman’s festering face and almost lost his voice in shock and alarm.
