Chapter 985: So He Was Actually An Abandoned Prince
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Actually, on the way here, Wei Cang had already read through everything the spies had investigated about Gu Nuo’er.
In Wei Cang’s opinion, no matter how amazing Gu Nuo’er was, she was just a seven or eight-year-old child.
No matter how resourceful she was, she was no match for the adults in terms of strength.
It was easy to take her away. The most important thing was to deal with the Marquis Yongye beside her.
Wei Cang took a deep breath and said, “I brought more than a hundred people this time. We secretly entered the capital from the north, south, east, and west respectively.
“In order to confuse the crowd, I’ve also arranged for a few groups of people to appear in the nearby suburbs.
“In the past few days, it indeed attracted the attention of the city patrols. Just now, I heard from a spy that Gu Yihan arranged for Marquis Yongye and the city patrols to go to the capital’s suburbs to investigate.
“There aren’t any powerful people guarding Princess Yaoguang now. It’s a good opportunity for us to take her away.”
Prince Xuan and his wife looked at each other and saw the disagreement in each other’s eyes.
This was because they had really experienced Gu Nuo’er’s intelligence.
Anyone who wanted to harm her would end up having things going against their plans!
This time, they might also be shooting themselves in the foot.
Prince Xuan imitated a thief and took the initiative to suggest, “Since Governor Wei has said so, and also there’s the second matter which is to bring Prince Linzhou back to Xili.
“In that case, my wife and I can share the Governor’s burden. We’ll set off first tomorrow. At that time, we’ll meet up with the Governor 250 kilometers away from the capital. How about that?”
How could Wei Cang not see his timidity and retreat?
He couldn’t help but sneer, his eyes filled with disdain.
Just a little girl had frightened Prince Xuan and his wife to this extent.
Back then, the two of them were still hidden guards who had received special training. Now that they had been in Great Qi for so many years, they had become cowards!
Wei Cang felt that he didn’t need the help of trash to avoid dragging him down.
Therefore, he said coldly, “You guys better be careful. If you’re discovered by Gu Yihan when you leave, then you deserve to die.”
Prince Xuan and his wife immediately lowered their heads. “Yes.”
Before Wei Cang left, he glanced at the two of them again.
“His Majesty has shown mercy and allowed you to bring your son back to Xili as well.”
Princess Consort Xuan’s anxious heart immediately calmed down.
All these years, because of their special ident.i.ties, Prince Xuan and his wife had always announced to the public that Yun Chuhuai had been adopted.
It was so that if their ident.i.ties were to be discovered one day…
Yun Chuhuai could also use the excuse that he didn’t know anything and escape with the excuse that they “weren’t related by blood”.
Later on, the world only thought that the couple had finally been moved by the heavens and got pregnant with the only heir, Yun Linzhou.
Little did they know that Yun Linzhou was actually a foolish prince who had been abandoned by the Xili Empire!
Princess Consort Xuan was immediately grateful and promised Wei Cang that they would definitely bring Yun Linzhou back to Xili.
Wei Cang put on his bamboo hat again and left Prince Xuan’s Manor with his subordinates under the cover of the rain.
At the same time, Yun Linzhou, who was sitting in the room and practicing calligraphy by the window, looked calm.
He didn’t look foolish at all.
The room was very quiet. There was only the sound of him practicing calligraphy.
The rain flew in through the half-open window, but he didn’t care.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed past the window.
Yun Linzhou didn’t even look up as the shadow flipped into the house through the window.
“Master, Wei Cang is here. He had just met the prince and princess consort,” the hidden guard knelt on the ground and reported.
Yun Linzhou wrote smoothly and only looked up when he heard this. “Wei Cang? He’s Ling Tianyin’s number one favorite general.”
