Chapter 1898: Prepared
Yuwen Xuhong was troubled by the missing Crown Princess Consort.
The Crown Princess Consort’s disappearance and death were part of their plan.
However, the Crown Princess Consort’s disappearance was completely out of their plan.
This was because the Crown Princess Consort’s disappearance was not their doing at all.
He still could not understand why something that he was 100% sure of succeeding had turned into such a passive situation.
Now that the Crown Princess Consort had become an uncertain factor in their plan, they were very anxious.
He had to find Crown Princess Consort Ye Yao!
If he couldn’t find the Crown Princess Consort, he would pin the matter of the Crown Princess Consort on Lin Yuelan.
He would say that in order to prevent the truth of the Crown Princess Consort being poisoned, she had killed the Crown Princess Consort!
“How is it? Did you find out where the Crown Princess Consort went?”
Yuwen Xuhong asked his subordinate anxiously.
The subordinate reported,” Your Highness, Old Master Zhou sent someone to report that the Crown Princess Consort might be hiding in Princess Guguo’s manor.”
“What?” Yuwen Xuhong was shocked. His eyes widened as he asked,” Did Old Master Zhou really say that?”
“Yes!” The subordinate reported,” Old Master Zhou also said that he will definitely find the Crown Princess Consort. Please rest assured, Your Highness.”
Hearing his subordinate say so, Yuwen Xuhong finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He said,” That’s good. What else did Old Master Zhou say?”
The subordinate replied truthfully,” Old Master Zhou also asked me to bring a message to Your Highness.”
“What message?” Yuwen Xuhong was obviously anxious!
“Old Master Zhou said that Yama Pavillion cannot be trusted!”
“What?” Yuwen Xuhong’s expression was one of shock.
However, after a moment, he did not ask any more questions. He just waved his hand and said to him,” Alright, I understand. You may leave!”
After the subordinate left, Yuwen Xuhong slammed his fist on the table. His eyes were filled with hatred as he gritted his teeth and said,” I see! Yama Pavilion Master, you’re really good!”
With Old Master Zhou’s reminder, he immediately understood that the fine marks on the fake jade pendant were deliberately left behind.
Because of this person’s flaw, all of his plans had undergone earth-shattering changes. Everything had developed beyond his expectations.
Yuwen Xuhong still remembered that when the Emperor heard that Lin Yuelan owned Lin Yuelan’s property, he wasn’t surprised at all. He wasn’t angry either. It was obvious that he knew that those things belonged to Lin Yuelan.
However, he had done a thorough investigation and was sure that the Emperor really did not know about Lin Yuelan’s behind-the-scenes businesses.
Therefore, the only explanation was that the Emperor didn’t know about it when he was investigating. However, he knew about it when he was planning to deal with Lin Yuelan.
There must have been some other factor that allowed the Emperor to know about these things.
Someone had intentionally informed the Emperor beforehand, but this person was definitely not Lin Yuelan. In that case, the only person who could do that was the Yama Pavilion Master, who knew that he was going to deal with Lin Yuelan!
Thinking of this, Yuwen Xuhong was furious and anxious.
Most of his plans were in cooperation with the Yama Pavilion. However, these people were very likely to become his biggest traitors.
Then, how could those plans succeed?
Yuwen Xuhong paced back and forth anxiously.
Not long after, someone came over to report.
“Speak!” Yuwen Xuhong clasped his hands behind his back, his expression sharp.
” Your Highness, after Princess Gu sent Prince Gong to the Lin Family Hospital, she left the Lin Family Hospital in the time it took for two incense sticks to burn. Then, she rushed to the palace!”
“The time it takes for two incense sticks to burn?” Yuwen Xuhong couldn’t believe it,” How is this possible? Third Imperial Uncle committed suicide and lost so much blood. Does Lin Yuelan not care whether he lives or dies?”
The Prince Gong was on the verge of death. If Lin Yuelan wanted to save him, she would need to spend a lot of effort.
However, he didn’t expect Lin Yuelan to leave in time for two incense sticks to burn.
“What about the Prince Gong? How is he?” He desperately wanted to know the result.
The subordinate reported,” According to our scouts, the princess of the Guguo only left after the Gong Prince was out of danger!”
In other words, Prince Gong was fine.
Yuwen Xuhong’s face turned pale as he shouted in his heart, ‘We’ve really underestimated Lin Yuelan’s ability.’
“How is the situation in the palace now?” Yuwen Xuhong placed his last hope on Prince Ping.
The subordinate shook his head and said,” The situation in the palace is unclear!”
After all, the palace was heavily guarded, and not just anyone could find out about it. Moreover, this news was immediate.
Yuwen Xuhong became even more anxious when he did not hear any news from the palace.
He had a vague feeling that Prince Ping would also lose if he went up against the demoness Lin Yuelan.
No, regardless of whether Prince Ping succeeded or not, he could not place all his hopes on him.
He thought for a moment, clenched his fists, and took a deep breath. Then, he loosened them and immediately shouted,” Men!”
Soon, someone came in.
Yuwen Xuhong ordered sternly,” Go and pass on the message to Old Master Zhou. Tell him to be prepared!”
“Yes!”
