Scheming Prince’s Conceited Consort - C196
In the’s Duke Palace, Lan Yenao was mixed with joy from the two consecutive events.
He was happy that Lan Muchen, who had been missing for a long time, had finally returned to the Imperial Palace safe and sound. Worried that Cheng Suyi, this woman, had actually disappeared from his courtyard.
Cheng Suyi did not plan to take this girl to heart. The only thing he was worried about was Situ Yu, who went missing with Cheng Suyi.
According to the news that Hong Ye had sent back before, Situ Yu had mastered an advanced technology that surpassed this world. It was a type of weapon that could be used to make one hundred weapons on the battlefield, an explosive package.
And this, was almost exactly the same as what Cheng Suyi had said. Helpless, the red clothed man who had stayed by Situ Yu’s side for so long without being able to grasp the specific formula, was also the reason why she wanted Situ Yu to recover.
Thinking about the feud between Gu Shiyi and Gu Shiyi, Lan Yenao thus gave up on the idea of letting Gu Shiyi treat Situ Yu. Moreover, Great Yu was one of the top four countries, whether it was economic, agricultural, or military, it far surpassed the other three countries.
But now, Situ Yu had disappeared into thin air, just as the Liyang was beginning to move again and again.
Without a doubt, Lan Yenao connected the two together. If Jiang Family knew of Situ Yu’s uses and thought of a way to cure Situ Yu, then wouldn’t Great Yu be in danger?
The terror of the Jiang Family came from his mysteriousness and unknown.
Until now, Lan Yenao had sent people to scout the Jiang Family Fortress more than once, but without exception, the people he sent out did not return. Even the strongest red jade beside him had been damaged.
And now, another Situ Yu had appeared in their hands!
Lan Yenao’s hand could not help but hold the cup tightly.
Inside the Great Liu Kingdom palace, Shangguan Hongshu, who had already ascended to the throne, smashed the vase and jade artifact antiques in the palace to pieces in anger.
During today’s morning assembly, he had only hinted to his trusted aides to propose to him that he be king, that he hold the military power in his own hands. Yet, he had actually encountered the opposition of more than half of the officials in the imperial court.
It was to the point that the Prime Minister, Doctor Yu Shi Shi, actually ridiculed him for not following Shangguan Xianyue’s example. It was truly preposterous.
Shangguan Hongshu had originally thought that the Jiang Family was only aiming for the protection of the imperial family, but who would have thought that in the short span of a few months, more than half of the officials in the imperial court would be under the command of the Nine Supremes, who were led by Jiang Family.
The Emperor of Chu, as a Puppet, was completely dominated. What was the difference between him and that Puppet?
After Shangguan Hongshui had finished falling and smashing, he weakly sat down on the large dragon bed.
If her sister Shangguan Xianyue was still here, then this situation wouldn’t have happened. But, if there wasn’t, Shangguan Xianyue would have been killed by his help from Jiang Family, working together with the emperor of the Great Xia, Situ Ming.
No matter how unbearable Shangguan Xianyue was, she was still his older sister, the blood sister of a mother and kin. She was even better to him than his royal father, what was wrong with him, to actually choose to cooperate with the Jiang Family so that she could live with such pain.
“Big sister, big sister, tell Hong’er what to do, big sister, I’m sorry …”
In’s opinion, they were very similar to the Maya people of the modern era. Gu Shiyi even had a bad premonition when she saw them for the first time.
The moment the caravan entered the city, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention. However, what was strange was that after they entered the city, not only were they not going to the inn, but they were going to the courtyard in the south side of the city with Jiang Family.
The sky quickly darkened, and the underground gambling den was about to close soon. Gu Shiyi who had just finished changing her appearance in the backyard, was startled by Mo Sheng who suddenly appeared behind her like a ghost.
“Be careful of that group of merchants!”
After Mo Sheng left these headless words to Gu Shiyi, he once again quietly disappeared.
Because of Gu Shiyi, today’s gambling den had ended very early. After Gu Shiyi went to sleep, Situ Jing put on her night clothes and quickly left the tavern.
In the darkness, Gu Shiyi suddenly opened her eyes wide. Even Situ Jing himself felt that there was something wrong with the group of people.
Gu Shiyi had originally wanted to follow Situ Jing, but when she thought of how she could easily take care of them, and what if they were a group of strange merchants, she didn’t know what would happen. In the end, Gu Shiyi decided to not let herself be a burden to Situ Jing.
However, this wait lasted throughout the entire day. After it got dark, before Gu Shiyi could even return, Gu Shiyi was completely sure that something had happened to him.
In the middle of the night, Gu Shiyi put on her night clothes and easily crossed the street as she ran towards the south city.
But just as Gu Shiyi was about to climb up the wall of the Jiang Family courtyard, Gu Shiyi was grabbed by the nose and pulled down from the wall.
When the man released him, Gu Shiyi retreated a few steps and panted heavily. The man turned out to be Mo Sheng.
“Don’t enter that courtyard. There’s a problem!”
Mo Sheng looked at Gu Shiyi’s puzzled expression. After thinking about it for a while, he tried to make understand what he was thinking in his heart.
“What do you mean?”
Gu Shiyi was astonished. Could this be related to Situ Jing’s disappearance?
“Before the princess had reached the Liyang, this subordinate had already noticed that other people were entering, but not a single person came out.”
Mo Sheng told her everything that he knew in detail. At the same time, he also told her that Situ Jing had never come out of the courtyard ever since he had entered.
Gu Shiyi became silent. Although she had come here through teleportation, she had lived in this world for many years already, the words of the gods were just a lie and a tool for the people in power to obey and submit.
She didn’t believe that there was some unspeakable problem with the courtyard. Gu Shiyi only believed that all the ghosts and gods were just a trick of humans!
Since Mo Sheng said that he couldn’t enter that courtyard, then she must still enter and see what was going on. She refused to believe that a person who had lived for two lifetimes and grasped the advanced modern science wouldn’t be able to cure this feudal society’s act.
“Mo Sheng, thank you for your reminder and good intentions, but I must enter that courtyard. I hope, however, that you won’t stop me!”
Gu Shiyi knew that Mo Sheng was the one sent to protect her, and he definitely valued her safety. However, in her heart, she had always been worried about Situ Jing.
Although Gu Shiyi was sure that this strangeness was caused by human hands, after all, such a long period of time had passed, and it was still unknown whether Situ Jing was alive or dead!
