Chapter 317 Disrupting the Imperial Court
Hutongs and alleys.
After hearing from Xiao Shitou about Wu Weiwei being kidnapped, Qingying rushed over with him.
"Wanqiu, quickly tell Qingying about the physical characteristics of those thieves..."
Qingying just told him.
She suspected that the kidnappers of her employer might be members of the Black Hawk Gang.
After all, if Shen Bazhi could get someone to save He Yuyan once, he might be able to save her a second time.
Wu Weiwei is the person He Yuyan hates the most, so she definitely doesn't want Wu Weiwei to be happy.
"Miss Qing, if I tell you, will you help me save my young lady?"
Hearing Wanqiu's words, Qingying frowned.
"No."
"If it's impossible, why should I tell you..."
In Wanqiu's view, Qingying was a member of the Black Hawk Gang, and she might be a spy hiding among them.
If they were truly sincere in saving their daughter, they should have told them the Black Hawk Gang's secrets long ago, and their daughter wouldn't have been kidnapped by thieves.
"you!"
Qingying was so angry she almost vomited blood.
Little Stone watched the two women arguing, feeling utterly overwhelmed and at a loss for what to do.
Qingying just contacted me, saying she might know who kidnapped our master, and that she might even be able to help them rescue him.
He couldn't completely believe what he was saying, but since the person in charge wasn't around, he didn't know who to turn to.
Although Qingying's words may not be entirely reliable, they are still a clue.
"Wanqiu, just tell Qingying! What if she really can help us rescue our master?"
Listening to Xiao Shitou's words, Wanqiu looked at Qingying again.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I only know two of these people."
The man, who looked rather refined, was named Jiang Li and seemed like a normal person.
The other one, skinny and disgusting, they called him Xue Ping. That guy was a real scoundrel; he's the one who killed Uncle Chen…”
Thinking of the girl's uncertain fate and Sitao's still unconscious state, Wanqiu's eyes reddened again.
"Wanqiu, don't cry. The mistress will be alright. I believe she's a lucky person!"
Even though he was worried, this was all he could do to comfort Wanqiu.
From Wanqiu's description, the Red Widow had already guessed the truth.
They really are from the Black Hawk Gang.
Seeing Qingying frown, Wanqiu wiped away her tears and then asked, "Are those people from your Black Hawk Gang?"
"Yes, both of them are from the Black Hawk Gang, but..."
How did Jiang Li get involved? That shouldn't be happening!
"But what?"
Seeing her hesitant manner, Wanqiu felt a surge of anger rising within her.
Even now, Qingying still hasn't given in.
Qingying glanced at Wanqiu lazily.
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. You should just stay here and take care of your girlfriend!"
Seeing Qingying walk out the door like a gust of wind, Xiao Shitou quickly followed.
"Qingying, tell me, how can we save our master?"
Qingying paused and turned to look at Xiaoshitou.
"You and I alone cannot save your master. To save her, we will probably need the help of others!"
The little stone was puzzled.
"Who are you referring to as 'other people'?"
Qingying glanced at him sideways.
"Chief Escort Bo of your Fengyun Escort Agency!"
he?
But wasn't he just an ordinary镖头 (bodyguard/escort)? How was he able to save his employer?
Little Stone wanted to ask more questions, but Qingying had already left.
Never mind, he'll go find Chief Escort Bo first, hoping he can rescue his master.
royal palace.
Consort Jing received the pills that Liu Yun had sent.
Looking at the two small dumplings in front of me.
Consort Jing pursed her lips.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would one day be able to save him.
The Yao family was considered a scholarly family in Jiangnan.
Because her mother died early, her father remarried the year after her mother's death. She was only two years old that year, and her older sister was eight.
The stepmother appears gentle and kind, but is actually vicious.
She grew up under her older sister's protection until that year when her sister was drugged by her stepmother and almost became mute.
She begged her sister to go to the capital to find their aunt and, incidentally, to find a renowned doctor to treat her throat ailment.
Her sister had no choice but to leave her, and it was in the capital that she met the unfaithful Prince Rui of Han.
Consort Jing held the small pill in her hand, secretly harboring deep hatred for the imperial family.
She originally thought that Emperor Mingcheng was responsible for her sister's death, so she listened to her stepmother and had her half-sister selected for the palace.
Unexpectedly, the matter was complicated. It wasn't until Granny Mei handed her a note asking for her help that she learned that her sister and Prince Rui actually had a child together.
The culprit behind my sister's death was not Prince Rui, but the wicked Empress Dowager.
It was she who, for the sake of her niece, the Princess Consort who was pregnant with Prince Rui's child, had placed someone by her sister's side long ago.
That maidservant regularly gave her sister slow-acting drugs.
This way, Prince Rui wouldn't find out, and he could slowly kill his sister.
But that old hag was wrong.
Prince Rui's feelings for his sister were merely novel; what merit or ability did he have to challenge his niece's position as queen?
Now that Prince Rui is dead, that old hag is still firmly seated in the position of Empress Dowager.
Although the case of the Xie family killing someone to obtain Xie Ningxin's heart blood has been solved and the Emperor has stripped the Xie State Duke's Mansion of its title, this has not shaken the foundation of that old witch.
The Xie family still exists, but compared to before, their status in the court is now negligible!
According to information gathered by her people, the Empress seems to want to join forces with the Empress Dowager to support the useless Crown Prince to ascend the throne.
That's right, among those currently in charge of handling affairs in the court are people affiliated with the Empress Dowager.
That man was none other than Prime Minister Yan.
He had received favors from the Empress Dowager in his early years, so now he is repaying her kindness.
The reason she is still enduring this is to bring down the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince and help her nephew seize the throne.
Consort Jing came to her senses and put the pills into the box.
"Granny Sha, let's go! I haven't seen His Majesty for quite some time..."
Consort Jing led her entourage toward the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Meanwhile, someone reported the news to the Queen.
"Your Highness, the Empress has decreed that only those with the Empress's written order are permitted to enter to see His Majesty..."
Lin Li, who was waiting outside, stopped Consort Jing.
"What did you say? Do you even know who I am?"
Looking at the guard in front of her, Consort Jing realized that he was none other than Deputy General Lin of the Imperial Guard, who had been promoted by the Emperor some time ago.
"You are Consort Jing of Hanxiang Palace..."
Lin Li remained neither humble nor arrogant, and there was absolutely no fawning or flattery in his expression.
"You know? Then how dare you stop me?"
"Your Highness, I am acting on orders from our commander. Without the Empress's decree, entry is forbidden!"
"presumptuous!"
Lin Li's words suddenly enraged the usually docile Consort Jing, leaving the palace maids nearby stunned.
"You're just a lowly guard, yet you dare to stop me. Let me tell you, don't think that just because the Emperor is unconscious, you can disrupt the court..."
However, Lin Li stood as straight as a block of wood, and did not back down despite Consort Jing's threat.
Seeing that Lin Li refused to back down, Consort Jing almost crushed the pills she was clutching tightly in her sleeve.
