Chapter 1012: Can’t Get Close

Translator: Lonely-tree

On the way back to the palace, Yuwen Feiye and Yuwen Xuhong were together.

When the two of them were about to reach the palace gate, they alighted from the carriage as if they had discussed it beforehand.

‘l’he uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled. Then, they walked together in the direction of the palace.

The two of them were talking about the interesting things that happened in Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.

Then, Yuwen Xuhong seemed to be confused and asked casually, “Third Imperial uncle, did His Majesty really betroth Zeng Yanli to I)uke Zhengguo’s mansion because of Jiang Zhennan?

Yuwen Feiye’s eyes flashed. He squinted and asked, “What do you think, Hong

Yuwen Xuhong was stunned. He did not expect Yuwen feiye to throw the question back at him.

However, he quickly reacted, shook his head, and said, I ‘ I can’t guess Imperial grandfather’s intentions. However,”

Then, his eyes looked forward, hesitating whether to say it or not.

Yuwen Feiye’s curiosity was piqued. “What? ‘

Yuwen Xuhong shook his head and said, I heard that after the end of the new year banquet, the Imperial grandfather called Jiang Zhennan to the Royal study alone. The next day, the Imperial edict came to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion!” Yuwen feiye was confused. “After the New Year’s banquet?

Yuwen Xuhong nodded and said, “Third Imperial uncle, you should still remember that at the New Year’s banquet, Duke Zhengguo and his wife wanted to talk about marriage with Jiang Zhennan as his parents. They wanted to marry Zeng Yanli, todays bride, to Jiang Zhennan. But Jiang Zhennan stopped it.

“However, the Longyan Kingdom is ruled by ‘filial piety. No matter what, Jiang Yunfeng and his wife still have the right to interfere in Jiang Zhennan’s marriage. He could stop them one time, but what about the next time and the time after that As long as Jiang Zhennan is not married, there will be a day when he can not refuse his parents’ orders!”

“So, you suspect that Jiang Zhennan might have made some deal with Father that night?” Yuwen feiye’s eyes were shining as he asked.

Yuwen xuhong immediately shook his head and said, I don’t know about this.” Then, he looked at the sky and said, “Third Imperial uncle, your nephew has something to deal with. I’ll take my leave first!”

With that, he bid Yuwen feiye farewell.

Looking at Yuwen Xuhongs back, Yuwen feiye squinted his eyes and suddenly asked his guard, “What does Yuwen Xuhong mean by this?

The subordinate thought for a moment and said, “What he means is that perhaps he really knows what Jiang Zhennan and the Emperor made in exchange that night?

Yuwen feiye said, “So, he’s deliberately hiding it from me?

‘l’he subordinate said, ‘I I cant figure out what His Highness means.”

Yuwen feiye thought for a moment and said, “Send someone to investigate. What kind of deal did Jiang Zhennan and father make that night? And immediately send someone to investigate the background of the woman in red next to Jiang Zhennan.”

At this point, he thought of something and continued, ‘I I remember that Jiang Zhennan seems to be staying in his nanyuan Manor now. If I’m not wrong, that woman must be in the nanyuan estate. It seems that I will have to go to the country estate to take a look one day!

“Oh, that’s right, did those people monitoring the country estate send back any news?

The subordinate immediately replied, “The person who was monitoring them said that they don’t know what’s going on with the country estate. They can’t seem to get close to the estate.”

Yuwen feiye immediately asked in confusion, “What do you mean? Could it be that Jiang Zhennan had sent people to protect this country estate so tightly?”

The subordinate shook his head and said, ‘I Your Highness, that’s not the case! However, the truth is the exact opposite. There’s no one protecting this country estate at all, and I heard that the people inside are all working, but there are no guards patrolling.”

He heard this from the workers who occasionally came out of the estate to unwind from work.

Yuwen feiye was even more confused. “there’s such a thing? Then what about not being able to get close to the estate?”

‘l’he subordinate pondered for a moment before saying, I ‘ Your Highness, it’s like this. Every secret guard who tried to approach the nanyuan estate would be attacked for no reason. After that, they were either mysteriously injured and had their arms and legs broken, or they mysteriously disappeared without a trace, not even their bones found!”

Speaking of this, this subordinate of his was also extremely shocked.

‘l’his was because it seemed to be completely beyond their understanding. They felt that there was something sneaky about it.

Yuwen feiye was shocked at first, but then he shouted in anger, Why didn’t you report it to me immediately?

The subordinate immediately knelt down and said, Your Highness, please calm down. It’s not that I don’t want to report, but I want to find out the truth before reporting to Your Highness! Your Highness, please forgive me!

Yuwen feiye was silent for a moment before he asked again, “What about the people sent by the other princes?

“It’s the same!” This subordinate simply said.

Yuwen feiye immediately understood what he meant.

Then, he muttered, “It seems that Jiang Zhennan’s sudden return to nanyuan Manor must have a purpose. There must be a big secret hidden inside! Since we cant do it in the dark, we’ll tackle this directly! You go and make the arrangements !

“Yes, Your Highness!” The subordinate replied.

On the other side, Yuwen Xuhongs subordinate asked, I ‘ Your Highness, will the third Prince really investigate what Jiang Zhennan and the Emperor talked about that night?

Yuwen Xuhong sneered, “Hehe, with Third Imperial uncle’s suspicious personality, he will definitely investigate! As long as he has any results from his investigation, immediately send someone to report to me, understand?” “Yes, Your Highness!” ‘l’he subordinate replied.

“Also, the woman in red next to Jiang Zhennan, immediately send someone to investigate her background. How did she know Jiang Zhennan, and how did she become Jiang Zhennan’s woman? My intuition tells me that the woman in red is not simple!”

The subordinate immediately replied, “Yes, Your Highness. I’ll do it immediately!

Even the subordinate’s instinct told him that the woman in red was really not simple!

A woman could stir up Duke Zhengguo’s mansion and make them suffer such a big loss, and they couldn’t do anything to her. Not only did she manage to escape unscathed, she even managed to make a dignified Prince lower his head and apologize.

No matter how he looked at it, this was not something a simple woman could do.

After thinking for a moment, the subordinate asked again, Your Highness, Jiang Zhennan is now living in nanyuan Manor. Why don’t we go and check it out first?

Yuwen Xuhong lowered his head and asked, “Have those people sent back any news?

The subordinate shook his head and said, “According to their report, they dont seem to be able to get close to the country estate.

“What’s going on?” Yuwen Xuhongs face was serious as he asked in a low voice, “Why can’t they get close?

This subordinate was also very depressed and said strangely, “This matter was indeed strange. There were clearly no guards outside the country estate, but as soon as our secret guards got close, they were attacked for no reason and even disappeared without a trace.”

Yuwen xuhong was shocked. “Is there such a strange thing?

But then he said, it seems that Jiang Zhennan’s sudden return to the country estate really has a secret! Hei Yin, withdraw the people for the time being, and wait for me to go to the country estate to check on Jiang Zhennan first!

After thinking for a while, he muttered, “Perhaps he had a fortuitous encounter when he disappeared last year!

The subordinate immediately obeyed and said, “Yes, Your Highness!”

Inside the Imperial study

After the Emperor listened to the secret Guard’s report, he pondered for a moment and asked, “Today, that woman followed the general to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion to attend the wedding banquet? And as the fiancée of the great general?”

Shadow guard number two replied, “Yes, Your Majesty!”

His Majesty asked again, “How old do you think that woman is?

He had heard from Jiang Zhennan that she should be around thirteen years old.

Thirteen years old, she was still a child.

Hidden guard number two replied, Your Highness, that woman was dressed in red and wore a red mask. She was tall and slender, but this subordinate could not tell her age!’

The Emperor was immediately interested and asked, Oh, was she also wearing a mask?

“Yes, she was!” The hidden guard replied.

The emperor asked in confusion, “Why would she appear with a mask on? Could it be that she was as ugly as Jiang Zhennan and could not be seen? So the two of them are in the same boat and got together?”

However, the Emperor quickly denied his own guess. “No. The guards at the Lin family village had sent a letter saying that the woman is extremely beautiful. In that case, she’s not wearing a mask because she i s ugly. On the contrary, she i s wearing it because she’s too beautiful?”

Hidden guard number two knelt on the ground and listened to the emperor’s mumbling without saying a word.

Then, he continued to report, Your Majesty, the general seems to dote on the red-dressed woman a lot.”

This time, His Majesty was even more interested.. He raised his eyebrows and asked, Oh? Tell me about it!”
