Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 387 A glimmer of hope
Deputy General Huang was questioned. Although he was from the capital, he really didn't know much about the Zhen family that Wan Shufang mentioned.
He shook his head slightly and said: "The Zhen family is a big family with great power. The ordinary big families cannot compare with it. As for the specifics of the Zhen family, I don't know."
The Zhen family is Concubine De's mother's family. Ever since Concubine De mentioned that the daughter of the Xu family was the wife of Prince Mingde, Wan Shufang felt that something important must have happened between the queen's sister and the great Zhen family. This led to the Queen's Forming a delicate balance with Concubine De.
She originally wanted to inquire about these two people and then wonder why the emperor hated the Xu family so much.
Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and the elderly people in the capital have experienced a lot of bloodshed.
Their mouths were tightly closed, and Wan Shufang couldn't find out anything from them no matter how good she was.
She originally wanted to put this matter down and wait until Chen Changli came back to discuss it with the couple before making any plans.
But after meeting Mo Lanlan today, Wan Shufang thought of the queen's regard for Mo Lanlan.
She couldn't help but guess that the reason why the queen valued Mo Lanlan was probably to figure out the emperor's thoughts.
She didn't want to be a pawn in the game between all parties, so she had to find ways to survive through the cracks. But the premise of this was to understand why the Xu family suffered such terrible things back then.
With her heart full of boredom, Wan Shufang simply told Deputy Huang that Concubine De wanted to take advantage of the General's Mansion, and asked him to find an opportunity to inquire more about the Zhen family before returning home.
She originally wanted to write a letter to Chen Changli, but when she thought of what Deputy General Huang said, she gave up the idea, and followed her previous plan to use Shopkeeper Wang's connections to pay attention to the situation in the southwest.
Having made a decision in her mind, Wan Shufang wrote down all the things she was about to do, and then began to wonder whether her own medical clinic could also play a role.
After pondering for a long time, she caught an idea in her mind and wrote some plans. The next day, she took Chen Xiyun and several daughters-in-law to get busy.
California City, which is far away from the capital, has many people of unknown origin because of Zhao Yunhui's recuperation.
Chen Changli spent a few days in California City and discovered these people.
While looking for traces of the Fourth Prince and tracing the origins of these people, he found the vast desert on the border.
Feeling that something was wrong, Chen Changli took out the token Zhao Yunhui gave him again.
He was originally very sure that this was a token made of special iron minerals from Inurong, but this time he looked at it with a different state of mind, and suddenly found that the iron of the token seemed to be a little red under the sunlight.
"Red ore? No, this is brass. This kind of brass that can glow red in the sun seems to come from Ulan."
Chen Changli's face suddenly turned ugly. There was a princess in Ulan. The princess was a very capable person. She not only took control of Ulan in a short period of time, but was also able to monitor Quan Rong for Da Jing.
She is a high-ranking person in Ulan. Just like brass, she can only control it firmly in her hands. How can it be left out?
Could it be that the owner of this token is still related to the princess?
Thinking of the speculation that someone in the capital was collaborating with the enemy and treason, Chen Changli unconsciously clenched his token.
He suddenly felt that this rebellion was likely to be very involved. If the rebels were not investigated and suppressed as soon as possible, Dajing might really be in danger of subjugating the country.
"Does Zhao Yunhui really know nothing about anything?" Chen Changli could think of something through this token. Zhao Yunhui had been the Minister of War in the court for so many years, how could he not have thought of this.
Turning his eyes around the token, Chen Changli's eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Just when he was going to find Zhao Yunhui, a young man who looked ordinary came in quickly from outside and said in a rather nervous tone: "General, I met someone from the White Lotus Sect on the street."
"The White Lotus Sect?" Chen Changli's pupils shrank in shock, "This is California City, which spans three major states from the southwest. How could the White Lotus Sect appear here? Could it be that the White Lotus Sect is connected with the rebels in the Southwest."
Chen Changli suddenly thought of this possibility, and suddenly felt that the reason why he had not found the fourth prince in California City for a long time was probably because of the White Lotus Sect.
Just because the White Lotus Sect is very good at deceiving the people, although the fourth prince was an imperial envoy for disaster relief, he did things poorly and got Zhao Yunhui injured.
The people's impression of him will not be good. If the White Lotus Sect uses this matter as a tool, the fourth prince will have to be played as a pawn by them even if he has a noble status.
"I don't know, but I have seen followers of the White Lotus Sect before. Those people are indeed members of the White Lotus Sect." Feng Yu was one of Chen Changli's most valued confidants. He did not follow Chen Changli to the capital. He went directly back to his hometown.
This time he learned that Chen Changli was coming to the southwest to look for the fourth prince, so he went directly to California City to arrange everything for Chen Changli.
As for why he could spot the people of the White Lotus Sect at a glance, it was also because there were followers of the White Lotus Sect in his hometown.
However, that group of people couldn't stir up any trouble, so Feng Yu didn't take it seriously.
This time he was able to see people from the White Lotus Sect in California City. Feng Yu's heart was alarmed and he had to quickly come to Chen Changli to tell him what happened.
"This matter is not trivial. I have to inform General Zhao. As for those people, you should keep an eye on them and don't alert them."
Chen Changli felt more and more that the White Lotus Sect in southern Xinjiang should not be underestimated, so he immediately went to find Zhao Yunhui after instructing Feng Yu.
"What did you say? There is a White Lotus Sect in California City." Zhao Yunhui was also shocked by Chen Changli's words.
He was not stupid, and he quickly figured out some things through Chen Changli's words. Before Chen Changli could express his thoughts, he immediately said: "My previous guess was correct, there is something wrong with Princess An Qing. "
"What do you mean by this?" Princess An Qing was the princess who went to Ulan for marriage. Chen Changli had heard of her, but the comments about her were all positive.
Chen Changli also admired such a married princess, but the poison that Yu Rou received came from Ulan, and Wan Shufang once mentioned it to him.
Chen Changli heard the name of Princess An Qing from her mouth and thought that the princess was not a simple person. After all, she had a good relationship with Concubine De.
Concubine De showed her extraordinary seduction when she secretly met Wan Shufang twice. Chen Changli previously thought that she wanted to use the General's Palace to support the eighth prince to ascend to power.
Now that he heard Zhao Yunhui say that there was something wrong with Princess An Qing, Chen Changli began to doubt Concubine De's true purpose.
"I just heard one thing. I wasn't sure about it before, but now through what happened with the White Lotus Sect, I think it's true."
Zhao Yunhui was a little confused, obviously not sure whether Chen Changli was willing to get involved.
I just thought that if things didn't go well this time, the entire Zhao family would probably be executed by the emperor.
After all, Chen Changli relied on his own ability to fight, and he was related to the Xu family. No matter what the emperor thought, Chen Changli would always have a chance of survival by following the prince.
Zhao Yunhui thought everything through and decided to drag Chen Changli into the water.
"Chen Changli, Princess An Qing has a grudge against His Majesty. She is probably the one who collaborates with the enemy and treason."
