Ximen Xianchu was telling Ximen Hao specifically because at the banquet Wushan accused him of being domineering and interfering in his marriage, and that night Wushan disappeared while taking a bath.
"My son already knows." Ximen Hao said without changing his expression. The person in the palace who delivered the emperor's decree to him had already told him.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Ximen Xian asked in a serious voice. He really admired this son who was decisive, ruthless and straightforward, just like he was able to hurt Ximen Yi's leg and force Ximen Zhe to leave the capital.
But if you want to go against his father, you can't say the same thing.
Su Ranhua also looked sideways at Ximen Hao, waiting for his reply.
Although she had already expected that something would happen to Wushan, Ximen Haoruo's quick attack was beyond her expectation, not to mention that it was too arrogant to do it so directly and obviously.
However, this is in line with Ximen Hao's personality, let's see how he ends up. Su Ranhua is looking forward to Ximen Hao's words with great interest. It is really not ordinary courage and means for a son to go against me.
"My son has not been to the scene, so I can't judge at will." Ximen Hao said calmly, without a trace of ripples in sight.
Ximen Xianchu looked directly at Ximen Hao, his eyes blazing, silent for a moment, and then turned to Su Ranhua, "Something happened to Prince Wu Shan, and Princess Wan cannot get married smoothly. How can you explain to me?"
"The top priority is to send more manpower to search for the whereabouts of Prince Wushan." Su Ranhua took a breath and kept a steady speaking speed. At this time, it was not only a matter of whether the princess could get married, but also a matter of direct concern to Qingyuan.
The dynasty's explanation to the Yuehua Kingdom that the dignified prince disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown was not an ordinary thing. She could not discuss the dilemma she was facing now. She had to solve it from the perspective of the overall situation in order to show herself in Ximen.
Find a breakthrough point in front of you.
Ximen Xianchu's burning gaze swept across the faces of Su Ranhua and Ximen Hao one by one. Both of them looked calm, as if Wu Shan's disappearance had nothing to do with them. Ha, it really looked like a pair.
Yes!
"King Nan, I order you to immediately investigate the disappearance of Prince Wu Shan and find the prince as soon as possible." Ximen Xianchu said to Ximen Yi.
"Yes, I obey the order." Ximen Yi cupped his hands to accept the order.
Ximen Xianchu's decision means that he does not trust Ximen Hao in this matter, or he is giving an explanation to the Yuehua Kingdom envoy. After all, Ximen Hao's intimidation of Wu Shan happened first, but there is no evidence to prove this.
He did it, so Ximen Yi could only be asked to investigate.
"Princess Bei, you promised me that you would bring about a happy marriage between Prince Wushan and Princess Wan. If you fail to do so, you will not be able to escape the blame, so I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly with King Nan." Ximen Xianchu said again.
"My son, I obey." Although Su Ranhua was a little stunned in his heart, he still responded calmly.
"King Bei, you are not allowed to have any interference in this matter, do you understand?" Ximen Xianchu said sternly.
"Yes." Ximen Hao responded.
After Ximen Xianchu made arrangements one by one, he sent everyone back.
The envoys from the Yuehua Kingdom had no choice but to return to Fenghuayuan to wait for news. Although they wanted to seek an explanation from the emperor of the Qingyuan Dynasty, he disappeared in their company and could not find the prince.
The king will not spare them lightly.
Walking out of Jinyang Palace, Ximen Yi stopped Ximen Hao and Su Ranhua who were walking in front and were about to mount their horses, "Second Emperor Brother, I want to take the Emperor's Wife to check the place where Prince Wushan disappeared. Do you have any objections?"
Ximen Hao glanced at Su Ranhua lightly and said with a slight smile, "It's rare for my father to think highly of her, but don't let me live up to my father's trust and make me lose face."
Su Ranhua knew that this was Ximen Hao's permission, but he couldn't help it. Ximen Xianchu had already made it clear that no matter how arrogant he was, he could not go further and disobey the Holy Will. After all, he had not reached that position yet.
However, Su Ranhua's situation became more and more complicated when he got involved with Ximen Yi for no reason.
Ximen Hao left Su Ran's paintings behind and rode away.
"Emperor's sister-in-law, please!" Ximen Yi politely stretched out his hand to signal, with that charming smile between his eyebrows.
Su Ranhua followed Ximen Yi without saying a word to Fenghua Garden where Wu Shan lived. The envoy had already returned first and led them to the place where Wu Shan disappeared, a large bathroom.
"Is this where the prince disappeared?"
Ximen Yi looked at the surrounding environment. There were several unextinguished fire pots burning around the bathroom, making the whole room warm. There was a comfortable bed on one side, and a bathtub in the middle, separated by a screen.
Outside, the water in the pool has been filled and is very clear. There are a few clothes hanging casually by the pool, which must be Wushan's.
"Yes, the prince wanted to take a bath, and we prepared water for him. The prince said he didn't need anyone to accompany him, so we all left. But after an hour, the prince didn't come out. We felt something strange, so we came in to check.
, Unexpectedly, the water in the pool is cold but still clear, and after taking off his clothes, the prince not only did not take a bath, but also disappeared!" One of the messengers replied, with a panicked look on his face.
"So strange?" Ximen Yi walked around the bathroom to check. The entire bathroom was airtight. In order to keep warm, there were no windows, only a door in the middle.
Su Ranhua's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The method of committing the crime was really clever, and the result was that no one was alive but no one was dead but no corpse.
No corpse?
Su Ranhua suddenly thought of the two people who were killed by Ximen Yi himself in the backyard of Yujinfang. They instantly turned into a pool of blood. They should be a model of no corpses.
But there was a pool of blood there, and the bathroom was clean, with no trace of contamination.
"You guys go down first. I want to experience for myself what it was like for Prince Wushan to be here alone at that time." Ximen Yi said to the envoys.
"Yes." The envoys retreated one after another and were blocked by Ximen Yi's people a few meters away.
Only Su Ranhua and Ximen Yi were left in the entire bathroom, creating a scene of a man and a woman alone. This situation made Su Ranhua feel very uncomfortable, so he was ready to resign.
"Sister-in-law, you are also investigating the case, how can you leave?" Ximen Yi turned around and looked at Su Ranhua with a smile.
"I don't want to disturb the prince to experience the scene at that time." Su Ranhua said calmly.
"What's so good about that scene? I actually don't want to miss the opportunity for you and me to be alone." Ximen Yi flashed and blocked the door, blocking Su Ranhua's way of leaving.
"Your Majesty is so brave." Su Ranhua glanced sideways at the gap in the door, and there were figures flashing outside.
"No matter how bold I am, I don't dare to say anything to stop Prince Wushan from marrying Princess Wan. If I use this method to take action, I will be really bold and arrogant. It is not a good thing to make my father angry. Compared with this, I am still
It's just a little bit off." Ximen Yi's words meant something.
