Chapter 163 The Secret of the Palace Resurfaces
Just when I was thinking of asking Nanny Wang where the Zhang family's woodshed was, I heard a pig-slaughtering howl coming from a room in front.
Well, no need to ask, just follow the sound and you’ll find the woodshed.
Jiang Mianmian quickened her pace and walked towards the woodshed where the sound came from.
Before entering the door, I heard Yan Nansheng's teasing voice: "Okay, nothing has happened yet, what's your name?"
Jiang Mianmian stepped into the woodshed and saw Yan Nansheng squatting there with a playful smile on his face. He looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, who was howling with her eyes closed, with interest.
Lu Xiaoxiao curled up in the corner, her face pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her forehead, her body shaking uncontrollably, her hands waving wildly, as if trying to block some invisible threat.
"Why is Mr. Lu so timid? Isn't there anyone in the Lu family who can take you flying? You have never left the ground with your feet?" Yan Nansheng raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"You don't have to thank me too much for giving you such a novel experience. I just like to help others."
Yan Nansheng spoke as he gently patted Lu Xiaoxiao's shoulder.
Lu Xiaoxiao shuddered violently as if she was burned by fire, and her screams increased by several decibels.
"Pfft..." The third son of the Zhang family couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing Mo Qing looking at him, he quickly covered his mouth.
But the smile still overflowed from his eyes, and he looked at Lu Xiaoxiao's embarrassed appearance with interest.
Mo Qing folded his hands in front of his chest, raised his chin slightly, with an expression of watching a good show on his face, and a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
When Lu Xiaoxiao started shouting, she alarmed the Zhang family. Zhang Ru was left to take care of Yan Wan, and the others hurried out to see what was going on.
This voice is so familiar, it's Master Lu's voice. He often yells and curses at the door these days, and they are so familiar with his voice.
Shouting like this now...
When they came over following the sound, they saw him lying in his own woodshed, howling with his eyes closed as if he was extremely frightened.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene.
Seeing the Zhang family members coming over, Yan Nansheng stood up slowly and walked out of the woodshed gracefully. She still had that nonchalant smile on her face, but her eyes were somewhat sharp.
"Everyone, don't panic. This Mr. Lu has offended someone close to me, so I'm going to teach him a lesson. As for the Lu family, they can't protect themselves now, so they probably won't care about this kind of bastard."
Yan Nansheng's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Hearing Yan Nansheng say this, the Zhang family's eyes were filled with confusion.
The Lu family can't protect itself? I haven't heard any news recently.
They looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Zhang Mao frowned, took a step forward, and asked cautiously: "May I ask who you are, Excellency? This Mr. Lu is the son of Minister Lu, and my aunt is the imperial concubine in the palace."
"Although the Lu family is arrogant and domineering, it is not someone we dare to offend easily. I am grateful to you for breaking through the barrier and coming in to treat my wife."
"You'd better leave now before you do anything ruthless..."
"Master Zhang, don't panic. I just said that the Lu family can't protect itself..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the shouting of the Lu family's servant outside the gate.
"Master! Master! There are so many soldiers and officers in the palace! So many!"
"The master told me to come and look for you. Where are you?"
At this time, the people who were watching the excitement in front of Zhang's house ran away in a swarm.
The big fun is coming!
Something happened to the Lu family!
It is a great thing that the Lu family is convicted!
The current head of the Lu family, Lu Jie, holds the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and his family even has a royal concubine.
He had been domineering in the capital for many years, and had oppressed countless people, including some low-ranking officials.
I don’t know what happened to the Lu family now. Their house was surrounded by soldiers. It must be no small matter.
After all, the Lu family has that status.
After Yan Nansheng heard about the Zhang family's experience while having dinner in a restaurant, Roubao played a shocking secret to her through space.
The Lu family has a secret dungeon, where not only some innocent women are imprisoned, but also a distinguished figure! The current emperor's sister, a princess!
Yan Nansheng was originally angry, and the wine glass in his hand paused slightly when he saw the scene.
Roubao's voice then rang in his mind.
At that time, Minister Lu had just come to power and was full of vigor and vitality.
At a grand palace banquet, he met the eldest princess.
When the late emperor was in power, the eldest princess's mother committed a serious mistake and was banished to the cold palace.
The young girl lost the protection of her mother and gradually became a neglected and transparent existence in the deep palace, growing up alone.
It was not until the current emperor ascended the throne and conferred titles on the six palaces that he finally remembered that there was such a sister in the palace who had been forgotten for many years.
Only when she was conferred the title of Grand Princess was she able to appear in front of everyone.
However, it was this opportunity that allowed the evil-minded Lu Jie to discover this gentle-looking, cowardly eldest princess and to have evil thoughts in his mind.
But Lu Jie has already married, and the Grand Princess is of noble status, so she definitely cannot be a concubine.
So, after looking up the life of this eldest princess, Lu Jie actually came up with the heinous idea of kidnapping her and locking her up.
Until now, there has been no news of this poor man in the palace.
Even the emperor gradually gave up hope after a long period of fruitless searching.
After hearing the series of images given by Roubao, Yan Nansheng was stunned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What else is so bizarre? The palace guards are so weak? A princess is missing from the palace!
But no matter how surprised I was, I still had to do my job.
Right now he needed to deal with Lu Jie, the second generation ancestor of the Lu family. This handle that came right to his doorstep saved him a lot of trouble.
Yan Nansheng thought for a moment and decided to use his spatial power to pass this important message to Eunuch Lai Fu who was out doing business for the Emperor.
When Eunuch Lai Fu learned about this, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hurried back to the palace to report it.
When the emperor heard that his sister was imprisoned by Lu Jie, he was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "This Lu family is so bold! How dare they treat my sister like this!" He then ordered his trusted ministers to investigate the matter immediately.
The palace suddenly became a busy and tense scene. The eunuchs and palace maids were all silent, fearing that they would anger the furious emperor.
The ministers in charge of the investigation did not dare to slack off in the slightest and launched the investigation against the clock.
In just half an hour, the matter was clarified.
