Inside King Yu"s mansion, when King Yue and Mu Yunyao arrived, King Yu was in his study looking through all the information that was sent over. His expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with the brewing of a torrential storm.
"Fourth brother, you"ve come." The frown on King Yu"s forehead loosened slightly.
"Second Brother, is there any news?" Yue Yang directly opened his mouth and spoke, he did not hide anything and went forward to read the news that was on the side of Yu w.a.n.g"s hand.
King Yu leaned back in his chair, a chill flashing across his eyes. "There"s not much useful information."
King Yue quickly explained the matter of him and Mu Yunyao chasing them out of the Eastern City. "My guess is that those bandits must have stayed in the capital."
King Yu"s eyes were narrowed, his gaze frosty. "Then I shall continue to search. Even if I have to turn the entire capital upside down, I shall find those people!"
In next to no time, news spread to the hands of the Demon King and Mu Yunyao one by one, and it was all thanks to the blessings of the two of them getting married.
After searching a few places with his men, Yuwai w.a.n.g couldn"t find anything.
As the sky gradually brightened, King Yu"s eyes were bloodshot and his expression was exceptionally grave.
Mu Yunyao placed the useless information to the side and said, "Second Brother, Fourth Master, you two should prepare to go to the Imperial Court together. I will continue to keep an eye on people looking for news of Second Sister-in-Law."
Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. The butler brought someone with him to bring warm water and breakfast, also to remind King Yu to go to court.
Seeing that the maid behind the butler wasn"t a maid arranged by Princess Yu, Mu Yunyao"s brows twitched. It was only then that she remembered that after King Yu got married, he had been staying in the Dai Yang Palace. The reason why King Yu stayed in the mansion this time should be so that he could receive news from everywhere.
In order to take care of King Yu, King Yue entered the palace with him to partic.i.p.ate in the morning a.s.sembly.
A night pa.s.sed, and the officials had already heard about the abduction of Princess Yu. The leader of the imperial guards had been punished, and had been ordered to find someone to atone for his crimes. Shen Bingshu was also held accountable, and the servants of Shuntian were punished.
Min Fanghua was the candidate to be the Queen that he had high hopes for. Furthermore, she was still carrying the Dragon, and those thieves dared to take away the people of the Royal Family. Min Fanghua had stepped all over the dignity of the Royal Family.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
The emperor"s expression was dark as his eyes swept across the officials below him. These people seemed respectful as they shouted "Long live". In fact, each of them had their own thoughts. When they glanced over the princes, they could not help but squint their eyes. Last night"s actions by the crossbow had reached his ears. The emperor lowered his head to look at the results of his investigation, anger rising within his heart as he thought, "You should have heard about what happened last night. Princess Yu was kidnapped, her whereabouts are unknown now, and the person who kidnapped her is …"
"He actually brought a strong crossbow with him. When Shen Bingchen investigated, he found out that there were at least fifty of them that night!"
The officials were all silent. They didn"t even dare to raise their heads. They could only tremble in fear as they knelt, bearing the wrath of the emperor.
The emperor"s anger grew even stronger. "In the west mausoleum of the capital, under the feet of the Emperor, there are actually powerful archers. If word of this were to spread, others would probably laugh their teeth out!"
"Please calm your anger, your Imperial Majesty."
"How can I quell my anger? What if those people didn"t kidnap Princess Yu and instead tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate my emperor? Instead of kneeling here trembling in fear, you guys are now happily discussing how to embrace a new monarch! "
The officials became even more terrified. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Your subjects deserve to die a thousand deaths …"
"Is there any news about the thief being found by the leader of the imperial guards?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject is incompetent …"
"Then keep looking. We must get Princess Yu back safely!" King Yu took a step forward. "Father, your son is puzzled. When Princess Yu was kidnapped, she had thirty guards by her side. Those guards were killed without any chance to retaliate. Sir Shen has investigated the enemy forces that had been lying in ambush for at least a few dozen people. Who has the strength to conceal their whereabouts, allowing them to hide within the capital? That night, the capital was on fire, and the imperial guards were unable to handle it. They were stopped on their way over. Who could have known where the imperial guards were and how they could have toyed with the entire imperial guard army? thief
"He left behind the clues and bribed the guards at the east gate to mislead them, causing us to lose the best chance to save him …"
The more King Yu spoke, the colder his voice became. The emperor"s face darkened when he heard this. Hijacking a imperial concubine and forcibly s.n.a.t.c.hing someone under the protection of a guard was indeed extraordinary.
"Jun Yu, what are you trying to say?" [Father, the kidnapping of Princess Yu is definitely not something an ordinary martial artist can do. There must be some people plotting in the imperial court behind the scenes. Before I left the palace, I lived in seclusion and had never committed such a sin.
What kind of person had enmity with her? They were here for the sake of this son of mine! royal father, this son suspects that someone is trying to use Princess Yu"s wife to attack this son, the Cholera Council! "
w.a.n.g suddenly turned his head, looking particularly angry: "Second brother, why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you suspect that royal brother sent someone to abduct Princess Yu? "
"Anyone is possible!" King Yu"s eyes were cold, his voice seemed to have been frozen.
"Second Brother, Big Brother knows that you hold your Royal Consort in high regard. Now that she has been kidnapped by you, her bad mood can be forgiven. I don"t want to bother with you." However, w.a.n.g Mu"s tone was gentle. If one were to carefully judge the situation, one could see the schadenfreude in his eyes.
King Yu clenched his fists tightly as a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. "Big brother, you left your seat rather early yesterday. I heard that you met Prime Minister Li?"
The king frowned. "I have seen my grandfather and discussed how to help my royal father. What"s wrong with that? "But you, how do you know my situation so clearly? Could it be that you"ve sent someone to keep an eye on me at all times?"
"Big Brother, I hope that you really do want to help father share his worries."
The King was enraged. "Father, this son has already tolerated it, but Second Brother is still forcing me. What do you think?"
"Alright!" The emperor shouted coldly, "What are you making so much noise like!? Jun Yu, Jun Yue, come with me. Everyone else can leave. "
"Yes."
Looking at the backs of King Yu and King Yue, w.a.n.g Lu gritted his teeth in hatred. Then, with a cold smile, he turned and left. The emperor led the two of them to the study room before waving his hand for the court ladies to withdraw. He then spoke without hesitation, "Jun Yu, do you suspect that your eldest brother was secretly plotting to kidnap your w.a.n.gfei?"
