MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince-Chapter 551 The secret of the case was discovered

Chapter 551: Uncovering the hidden facts of the case

Du Qian and Pei Hao both received news that Du Wan had entered the palace.

The two of them waited for a long time, but still there was no sign of the little girl.

I sent someone to inquire and found out that she had actually gone to the prison.

Pei Hao immediately wanted to go to Tianlao to pick someone up. He was curious about what the little girl was doing in Tianlao at this late hour.

 When he got halfway, he met her coming towards him.

 The little girl was also surprised to see Pei Hao, "Did you come to pick me up specially?"

"Yes, who are you going to see?" Pei Hao walked up to her and walked side by side with her.

Du Wan looked up at the sky and said, "Wei Xiu."

 “She?” Pei Hao was surprised.

Du Wan thought that he might not know about it yet, "You will know it later."

“Can’t you tell me now?” Pei Hao looked around.

Du Wan then looked around and said, "It's hard to say it outside. What if someone listens to it and affects my father's investigation?"

 “…” Pei Hao could not understand the emperor’s thoughts.

Father-in-law is just the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so the investigation of the case should be handled by the Ministry of Punishment.

Du Wan can understand it. The reason is that the emperor doesn't want to be known to too many people, so he can't mobilize the troops even if he arrests people. According to her expectations, Wei Xiu's final death was probably to be executed secretly and quietly.

　　From the prison she was locked in, it was clear that there were no prisoners around.

 Those palace residents involved in the case may not survive. What is more troublesome is that several members of the Imperial Guard are not unknown people. They were suddenly dealt with and could easily cause trouble. The other ones are Xie Zhang and the Xie family. This family is smart and will probably keep secrets well.

Du Qian couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he saw his sister coming with Pei Hao.

Pei Hao automatically and consciously opened a little distance. From the previous distance where the clothes were almost touching the clothes, he reluctantly took a half step away. In the eyes of outsiders, they are still very close.

Du Wan knew nothing about this. After seeing his eldest brother, he quickly approached.

The little look on his face that he had gossip and wanted to share it with him almost made Du Qian laugh.

Du Qian wanted to drive Pei Hao away, but Pei Hao pretended not to notice and shooed away all the palace guests in the room.

In this way, the three of them can chat about some secrets together.

 When talking about Wei embroidery, we have to mention the Wei family, who were born as military generals and controlled the military power in the northwest. In the past, embroidery workers could live freely and freely, and their confidence came from their prominent family background. It's just that such a noble girl returned to the capital unknowingly and caused a stir for Qin Yuyu.

I have to say that the three of them were very impressed.

Du Qian said with a deep look in his eyes: "Wei Xiu is just an inducement."

"Yes, this is fatal." Pei Hao meant something.

Du Wan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "I know what you mean, haha, even if the truth is revealed, Qin Yuyu will not be cleared of the same crime. This is Wei Xiu's brilliance."

 Not killing people, just killing people's hearts.

 Arrange some people to influence Qin Yuyu little by little day by day, constantly arousing the darkness in Qin Yuyu's heart, completely exposing her selfishness and ambition to others.

Du Qian pondered, "Wei Xiu is not afraid of injuring the Wei family?"

"The Wei family in the capital said they would return to their hometown to worship their ancestors during the Spring Festival. It's already February, but they still haven't come back." Pei Hao directly pointed out what was suspicious. "She is not afraid of causing trouble to the Wei family. She is afraid that something will happen in the northwest."

Du Qian’s face darkened.

 This is not good news.

 These are troubled times, and the Wei family has become disloyal again, and the situation is probably going to be even more difficult.

Du Wan suddenly realized what he was talking about after being reminded by two people.

The Wei family may be rebelling, or they may openly break away from the imperial court and occupy the northwest area.

Natural disasters occurred one after another in the Great Qin Kingdom, and the people did not even have a chance to recuperate. It was the court's vigorous disaster relief that prevented the court from collapsing. However, even with the disaster relief, there were still some small-scale chaos that could not be taken into account. On and on. The land in the northwest is barren and food production is not high.

Life is not easy for soldiers, let alone for poor people.

Du Qian said that he would send someone to the northwest to investigate. After thinking about it, he stood up again, "I'll go and tell the emperor that Wei Xiu cannot be killed for the time being. I heard that General Wei loves Wei Xiu's daughter very much."

Neither Pei Hao nor Du Wan had any objections.

 Wait for Du Qian to go see the emperor.

 The two people looked at each other.

Pei Hao gently raised the little girl's finger and said, "Aren't you leaving the palace tonight?"

"No. What about you? Are you still on duty?" Du Wan glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, "How long has it been since you had a good rest? My elder brother is different from you. Look at how energetic he is."

Pei Hao lowered his head and smiled sullenly, shrugging his shoulders.

Du Wan couldn't understand what he was laughing at.

What's so funny about such a simple and plain statement?

But it was a rare opportunity to be alone together, and the two were reluctant to separate. When Pei Hao was on duty, Du Wan still followed her and went on patrol in a decent manner. Of course, the patrol range of the two men revolves around Zhenghe Hall, and they occasionally wander around.

 One night passed.

 Early in the morning, Du Wan woke up and took a walk around Zhenghe Hall.

 After listening to the whole palace affairs, I found no problems, so I went to see Du Qian.

Du Qian has gone to accompany the emperor.

The emperor woke up this morning and seemed much more energetic. Du Qian helped him out of bed and walked around for a while.

 After the emperor had had his breakfast, the court official came over again to check his pulse.

About the same time, Prince Consort Du came over and the emperor summoned him. They met alone and chatted, but Du Qian and Du Wan withdrew and went to have breakfast together.

Du Wan looked around and asked, "Didn't you see Pei Hao?"

“He was on duty last night and had a rest during the day,” Du Qian reminded.

 “Hey, he didn’t mention it to me.”

 “Do you need to mention this? Isn’t it normal to be on duty at night and rest during the day?”

 Du Wan: “…”

Pei Hao has been in the palace, and she thought he would continue.

The brother and sister had eaten half of their meal when Du Qian asked in a low voice, "What are father and uncle talking about?"

 “I’m not paying attention to this.” Du Wan replied quietly.

Du Qian motioned for her to listen, and Du Wan listened immediately. After a while, she knew what to talk about, "The case has been cleared, and my father is telling his uncle."

　　　…”

Du Wan listened for a while and then stopped listening.

 The case of Qin Yuyu's rebellion is not complicated, it is similar to what Du Wan knew before.

The hidden secret is not complicated. Qin Yuyu’s confidant, Nanny Gong, is indeed from Weixiu.

The conversation that Qin Yuyu said he saw between the emperor and his subordinates was pretended by the palace maid and an old **** who knew how to do ventriloquism.

The old **** used to be a royal eunuch, and he was demoted after making some mistakes. He had a very bad life in the palace these years. He was able to survive because the palace ladies often helped him.

 The clothes and other items were prepared by the palace aunt and burned afterwards.
