The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 258 Something happened to Du Qian in the palace

Du Wan was not surprised when he heard this.

In the past, Pei Hao would often ask his bodyguards to deliver letters, but it was only recently that he was guarded by Du Qian, so he no longer delivered letters.

Du Wan said to the eldest princess: "Mother, you eat first. I'll go out and take a look."

 “Go.” The eldest princess smiled with a hint of teasing.

 She likes to see her daughter and her future son-in-law have a good relationship.

Du Wan went out of Yulingyuan and saw the guard of the Pei family, who was an unfamiliar face. The man came forward and handed Du Wan the note.

 That’s it, a note, not a letter?

The man handed over the note and left in a hurry.

Du Wan was very surprised. Didn't he wait for her reply?

So she lowered her head, opened the note with dexterous fingers, and scanned the few words on it, feeling her blood freeze instantly.

There are only four words on it: Something happened to Du Qian.

Du Wan felt his head pounding and immediately called someone to inquire about Du Qian's situation. Soon I learned that Du Qian had not left the palace after entering the palace in the morning.

 What happened?

What Pei Hao handed over was that something happened to Du Qian, without any specific details.

Du Wan eagerly turned back to Yulingyuan.

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess stood up and asked, "Wan'er, what happened?"

"Mom! Brother, something happened." Du Wan said in a low voice, showing the note sent by Pei Hao to the eldest princess's house. The note was written by Pei Hao, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the handwriting on his previous letter, "I asked After that, the chief steward said that the eldest brother has not left the palace."

After all, the eldest princess is older than Du Wan and is very calm. "Don't be impatient. Mother, please come to the palace."

"I am coming too."

"Need not."

 “No, I want to stay with your mother.”

“Wanwan, if something happens in the palace, all four of us will be trapped. There must be one person outside so that we can act according to the opportunity.”

"Then it's better if I go in, and Mom will take charge of the situation outside." Du Wan suddenly spoke up and said firmly to the eldest princess, "Mom, do you believe in my daughter? My daughter will not let anything happen to her eldest brother."

The eldest princess looked at her daughter intently, and was absent-minded for a moment.

 Has your daughter grown up? I can now be on my own...

Du Wan no longer hesitated, put on a fox fur cloak, picked up the ring-headed sword and set off in a hurry.

 At the gate, Zhuang Cong and others prepared their horses and were waiting for her.

Du Wan took the reins of the horse and jumped on the horse. Just as he was about to ride the horse, he saw the eldest princess running over in a hurry, "Wan Wan, wait a minute."

 “Mom, what else can I do?”

"Bring this with you." The eldest princess handed Du Wan a gold-inlaid token. "With this token, you can enter and exit the palace freely without leaving weapons in front of the palace gate."

Du Wan took it and said, "This is a good thing."

 Then she hung the token on her waist and rode away.

Arrived in front of the palace gate and showed his token and was not stopped, but the guards were still not allowed to enter the palace.

After Du Wan entered the palace, she did not find anyone to ask where the emperor and others were. Instead, she immediately used her ability to listen attentively to what was going on in the palace.

 Located on a place among the cumbersome and noisy sounds.

 It’s the Splendid Palace!

 The emperor was in the Jinxiu Palace, where the commotion was the loudest.

Du Wan used Qing Kung and when he arrived, he saw Pei Hao, Hu San and others in front of the palace gate.

There was a guard guarding the palace gate, and no one was allowed to enter without order. Even Pei Hao was blocked from outside.

Pei Hao greeted her immediately, "Wanwan?"

 “What’s going on?” Du Wan asked. Pei Hao whispered: "Huang Lian is critically ill."

“What does that have to do with my brother?” Du Wan questioned.

I just heard that some imperial doctors were discussing how to save people and give medicine in Jinxiu Palace, so I guessed that Huang Lian's condition was not good. Du Wan suddenly thought of something, "Isn't it someone who put the blame on my elder brother?"

"I haven't received the exact news." Pei Hao looked at the gate of Jinxiu Palace darkly, "But it's almost the same."

Du Wan did not hear any interrogation inside.

 Is the interrogation over?

 According to the usual practice, this kind of matter should be left to the Imperial City Division for investigation. Now that the emperor has not let Pei Hao get involved, he may have the intention of letting Pei Hao avoid suspicion. Everyone knows that Pei Hao has a close relationship with the Princess Mansion. If the results of the investigation are favorable to Du Qian, it will be difficult to convince.

Du Wan went directly to the imperial guard, "I, the princess, want to see the emperor."

"Princess, please wait a moment. Let the officials go in and report first." A guard hurriedly went in to report.

After a while, the man came out again and asked the princess to come in.

Du Wan went in alone.

Pei Hao was guarding outside.

 At this time, we need to be more cautious.

Du Wan went straight towards Huang Lian's dormitory. Under the steps of the eaves of the main hall, there was a person kneeling. He was a person Du Wan was familiar with. He was Du Huima.

Du Wan rushed to Du Wanma's side, "Dad?!"

 “Wanwan?” Du Consort was surprised, “Why are you here?”

 “I received news that something happened to my eldest brother.”

"...A palace maid poisoned Huang Lian and said that Qian'er was the mastermind." Consort Du quickly explained the current matter so that his daughter could understand the situation. "Someone witnessed your elder brother putting the poison in his purse. Leave it to the palace maid."

 What happened was that a palace maid poisoned Huang Lian.

The palace maid was caught and couldn't bear the torture. She revealed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Du Qian. She also said that Du Qian personally promised that as long as he succeeded, he would take him as his concubine. The most terrible thing was that someone saw Du Qian handing the purse to the palace maid, and soon something happened to Huang Lian.

There is more than one target.

At this time, I couldn’t even wash myself off if I jumped into the Yellow River.

Du Wan took off the cloak and put it on Du's consort.

　　Du Consort was so soft-hearted that he felt confused. His daughter is so good. She felt sorry for him as a father. "Wanwan, if you are not cold as a father, you should wear it."

"Father! If you wear it, this little bit of coldness won't affect me." Du Wanzhen couldn't feel the coldness, which may be related to her breakthrough in cultivation. "Brother's affairs will be left to my daughter. I won't let anything happen to him. Please wait a moment Go out of the palace, just kneeling here is useless, how can you heal your body if you kneel down?"

Du Wan said as he helped Du Consort up.

Du Consort didn't want to get up, but Du Wan wanted to help him, so he could only follow her strength and get up.

Perhaps I have been kneeling for a long time and almost lost my balance and fell!

Du Wan did not go to see the emperor immediately, but instead supported Du Consort and walked out of the Jinxiu Palace step by step.

Pei Hao was still outside, and Du Wan handed him over, "Send my father out of the palace."

 “Okay.” Pei Hao nodded.

Du Huima grabbed Du Wan's wrist and said, "Wanwan, you are alone..."

“Father, don’t worry, today’s matter is nothing. I really don’t know. At worst, our family doesn’t want all this glory and wealth, and we can go back to our hometown to live a happy life.”

 “Okay! I will listen to my daughter.”

　　Du Prince Consort felt relieved when he saw his daughter's indifferent look.

 Furthermore, as my daughter said, what if the charges can’t be cleared?

 Hand or right, life is not in danger.
