Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

After Zhao Lian'er came back from Wan Shufang, she had been wanting to spread the news, but unfortunately she was assigned the task of tending to flowers and plants.

She couldn't leave here until she completed the mission.

Now the news that Wan Shufang was taken away by Liu Yaoyao was brought by the maid who had a good relationship with her, and she was extremely anxious.

After thinking for a while, she pretended to have a stomachache, handed the task to an honest and simple maid, stuffed ten taels of silver into her hand, and asked her to pay attention to it for her. Then she pretended to be extremely uncomfortable and went back to her room to rest.

After returning to the room, Zhao Lian'er immediately opened the back window and threw a stone wrapped in cloth outside. Then she looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then she meowed a few times like a cat.

After five sounds, a seven-year-old child jumped out from another corner.

He quickly looked up at Zhao Lian'er, and after getting her instructions, he picked up the stones in the cloth bag and left quickly.

Zhao Lian'er watched him leave, then closed the back window and lay on the bed pretending to be sick, but her thoughts were racing.

"Liu Yaoyao is very impetuous and has a complicated relationship with Prince Rong. The little girl who follows her seems to be too young to do much with her. In other words, this little girl may not know what Liu Yaoyao is doing."

"It would be great if I could get in touch with this little girl. At least I could get some information out of her."

Zhao Lian'er thought for a long time and thought of Yanran who was with Liu Yaoyao. She thought Yanran was very well protected by Liu Yaoyao, and she didn't know what Liu Yaoyao had done outside.

But Yanran was definitely clear about what Liu Yaoyao and the people behind them were planning.

If she could get some information from Yanran, why would Wan Shufang put herself in danger?

After thinking it over, Zhao Lian'er came up with an idea and decided to find an opportunity to approach Yanran.

She had a new idea and was about to put it into practice, but the seven-year-old child holding the stone crawled through the dog hole and came to a dilapidated house with few people.

"Chief, this is the new news from Sister Lian'er." The seven-year-old child saw Yingyi in this dilapidated house and quickly handed the stone to him.

Yingyi first looked at the cloth strip and found that there was no writing on it, so he looked at the stone.

However, the stone was also smooth and did not contain any information.

Ying thought for a while and then rubbed the cloth with a stone. Soon, words appeared on the cloth.

After reading the content, Yingyi was shocked and angry, but Wan Shufang's safety was the most important thing. He immediately sent a message to Zhao Li'er, asking her to do everything she could to protect Wan Shufang, and he would go to find Chen Changli quickly.

At this time, the entire Luoyang city was covered in white because of the queen's death, and the streets that were originally quite bustling became deserted.

In order to avoid being noticed, Yingyi deliberately wore a white coarse linen shirt, and then went around in circles before arriving at the general's mansion at the hour of You.

At this time, Chen Changli had already come out of the palace.

The emperor wanted to bury the queen with great ceremony. Yang Guangqing thought about it and decided to increase the specifications by 20% while still following the old rules.

Therefore, Chen Changli and other civil and military officials not only had to go to the palace early to mourn for the empress, but also had to go to the side hall to pray and worship for the empress after the mourning was over.

Today is the first day of the Queen's funeral. In order to show how seriously he takes this matter, the Emperor has been staying in the main hall.

Even if Chen Changli wanted to take advantage of the Queen's death to arrange something, he was unable to do so. He could only mourn for the Queen first and make plans after returning home.

As soon as he came back, he saw Yingyi. Chen Changli quickly took people to the study, "What's the matter with Shufang?"

Ying Yi quickly handed the cloth to Chen Changli and said, "Madam has been taken away by Liu Yaoyao again."

"It's actually Prince Rong." Chen Changli looked at the banner while listening to Ying Yi's words. After reading the content of the banner, he knew that Prince Rong might be the master behind Liu Yaoyao, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I heard that Prince Rong is His Majesty's most beloved nephew. He has been sick for many years and rarely sees people. How could he have such ambitions? And he has developed such a great power. His Majesty cares so much about the power in his hands. Did he really not notice it at all?"

Chen Changli had never seen Prince Rong, but he had heard about him. He knew that he was a notorious sickly person who had been taking medicine since he was born and he still took medicine all the time. As a result, no noble lady was willing to marry him.

He is 35 years old and has not yet married or had children. How could such a person have the intention of rebelling?

"I feel that the weaker and more inconspicuous a person is, the more he hides his thoughts. Otherwise, how could we know his thoughts through Liu Yaoyao's meeting with him?" Ying Yi immediately expressed his opinion.

"That's true." Chen Changli bent his fingers and tapped on the table, and decided to visit Prince Rong's mansion at night. "Come with me to Prince Rong's mansion. This time, we will focus on Shufang's whereabouts. As for Prince Rong, let's not alarm him for the time being."

"Yes." Ying Yi immediately went to make some arrangements, and at three o'clock in the morning he followed Chen Changli to visit Prince Rong's Mansion.

Wan Shufang, whom Chen Changli missed, was indeed brought to Prince Rong's mansion by Liu Yaoyao, but she did not see Prince Rong. She only saw the woman who was kept as a concubine by Prince Rong.

When she saw this person for the first time, Wan Shufang was so frightened that her heart almost stopped and her face turned pale unconsciously.

But after a while she quickly stepped forward, stared at the person in front of her, and asked sternly: "Who are you?"

"Wan Shufang, don't be so presumptuous!" Liu Yaoyao scolded first, and then said to the woman respectfully, "Madam, because time is too rushed, Yanran and I have not yet completely tamed Wan Shufang, so she still has the arrogance and audacity of a general's wife."

"I am a human being, not an animal to be slaughtered by you at will. How could I be tamed by you?" Hearing Liu Yaoyao's words, Wan Shufang suppressed the shock in her heart and retorted with an indifferent face.

Liu Yaoyao ignored her and only looked at the woman in front of her with concern. Her tone was as gentle as water: "Wan Shufang's medical skills are indeed good. She even found out that there was something wrong with the medicine that Yanran prepared for her. So with her around, Madam will definitely be able to see the day when Dajing is destroyed in good health."

"You are so thoughtful." The woman coughed and coughed up a little blood.

She seemed to be used to this. She just wiped the blood with a handkerchief and then looked at Wan Shufang.

Seeing Wan Shufang looking at her with inquiring and scrutinizing eyes, the woman smiled faintly: "Are you so shocked by my appearance?"

As she spoke, she touched her face, with bitterness in her eyes, "If possible, I would rather not have this face and walk in the sun like an ordinary person."

After taking a deep breath and exhaling, Wan Shufang said calmly, "Your appearance really shocked me. After all, it is rare to find a woman who looks like the prince in this world. If this wasn't the Rong Palace, and there weren't remnants of the previous dynasty as bold as Liu Yaoyao, I would have thought you were the prince's sister."

The woman smiled softly and said, "I do have a relationship with the prince, but not much with the emperor, because I am the prince's half-sister."

"Wan Shufang, do you know how despicable and shameless the emperor is? I wanted to kill him every moment, but the prince had my mother's blood on his body, so I had to take him into consideration. I repeatedly made myself suffer so much that my body was worn out."
