After Zhuangzi's incident happened, the prince did not take any action. However, after Shangguan Yu went to see the sixteenth prince, the plan began to be implemented.
Various criminal evidence related to the prince were delivered to the princes and ministers respectively, and it was written on the last page to whom the evidence was delivered.
Even those who belong to the prince, or those who want to be neutral, do not dare to take risks and pretend to have discovered nothing.
No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, all kinds of voices calling for impeachment of the prince were heard in the court. The emperor was so angry that he fell seriously ill, and Dehai discovered that someone had drugged him.
Under interrogation, it was discovered that it was the empress who wanted to murder the emperor.
Although the queen denied it, the emperor believed that this was the truth. In anger, he placed the prince under house arrest in the prince's mansion and did not allow him to participate in any government affairs.
"Tomorrow we are going to stay at Prince Han's Mansion. My cousin and I want to buy some gifts for Princess Han. If the eldest sister wants anything, let's buy it together." Bai Xing came to Baicao early in the morning and said
I can't hide my excitement.
Although the Bai family is a wealthy family, Bai Xing has never been to a palace like the Wangfu, so she is naturally full of expectations.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, everything had standards.
Although the Bai family is wealthy and is now an official family, the mansion cannot be built as majestic as the royal palace.
Even a big family can only maintain the appearance of a big family by living together but opening separate doors.
For a palace like the Han Palace, even if there are only a few masters, it should have certain specifications, but most of the courtyards are idle.
"Sister, I don't need anything. You two go to the street, bring more people, and come back early." Bai Cao gestured to the girl, took two purses and handed them to Bai Xing and Liu Xu respectively, "You guys take these silvers with you.
When Hua Yong comes to the capital, although the eldest sister is not as wealthy as your second sister, she can still afford this little money."
"Thank you, sis."
"Thank you, cousin."
The two of them happily thanked each other, but did not push back politely.
"Husband, let's go to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days. I just made an appointment with the prince and the others to get together." Baicao is now a month old and rarely goes out on the street to avoid bumping into each other.
"Okay." Yang Fan looked at Baicao's belly with a somewhat worried look in his eyes.
With Yang Fan's current official position, there is no need to get involved in matters in the court, but he is not afraid that the Yang family will be implicated.
But Yang Fan knew what happened to Bai Ling and the others, so he would inevitably worry about them.
As for Bai Wei, if she doesn't return to the Bai family, her safety will not be guaranteed. She can't tell Baicao these things, for fear that her body will not be able to bear it.
Let's say that Bai Xing and the two went shopping when they were excited, and they had no idea that they were being followed.
"You guys take your things to the carriage first. We'll wait for you at the pastry shop in front." Bai Xing ordered when she saw that the girls were carrying too many things.
"Yes." The girl saw that the snack shop Bai Xing pointed to was only a few meters away, and she was not sure how much her master wanted to buy, so she agreed.
"With so many people queuing up, the dim sum here must be delicious. Let's buy some of each in a while so that we can pick some to take back home when we go back." Liuxu chirped.
Bai Xing smiled and nodded, and the two sisters walked forward holding hands.
Since returning home, Bai Wei has not known what to do.
I had no intention of taking care of business matters, and I couldn't stay in the house any longer. I felt too embarrassed to go see Chu Wen, so I wandered around the streets every day to pass the time.
Bai Wei is now extremely afraid of being alone and always likes to crowd in crowded places. Even if she doesn't want to buy snacks, she still queues up.
"Third Sister?" Bai Xing originally wanted to see how many people were in front of her, but she didn't want to see Bai Wei, who was worried, so she pulled Liu Catkin forward and said, "Third Sister, I miss you so much."
Bai Xingxing's eyes turned red, and she held Bai Wei's arm to prevent her from escaping.
"I miss you, my eldest sister misses you, and my parents miss you too. Can you go home with me?" Bai Xing choked.
"Yeah, grandma and grandma miss you too. I secretly heard grandma and aunt talking, and she cried when she talked about you!" Liu Xu said at the side.
Bai Wei originally wanted to leave, but after hearing what the two said, she could no longer move.
"I..." Bai Wei really missed home at the moment and wanted to go back.
But she had just gotten into trouble, and she didn't know what happened to the prince. How could Bai Wei dare to bring the trouble back?
"Let's go, there's a teahouse over there, let's sit and talk." Bai Xing pressed the corners of her eyes, and Liu Xu pulled Bai Wei one by one, and walked towards the teahouse, not remembering to ask the girl to come here to look for her.
We asked for a private room, the three sisters casually ordered some tea and snacks, and started chatting.
Most of the time, Bai Xing and Liu Xing were talking, and Bai Wei would chime in a few times.
"Third sister, my head... feels so dizzy." Bai Xing rubbed her forehead, and as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of Liu Cat lying on the table.
"What's wrong!" Bai Wei whispered, stepped forward to support Bai Xing who was about to fall, and hurriedly took off the jade bottle from her neck and fed her to drink the spiritual spring water, "We can't get out now, we will continue in a while
Pretend to be stunned and find an opportunity to escape."
Bai Xing was still a little confused, nodded and said: "Third sister, please drink some, and cousin..."
Before Bai Xing finished speaking, she heard footsteps approaching the door.
There was no time to give Liuxu the spirit spring water, so Bai Wei could only drink the remaining few drops before the other party opened the door, pretending to be unconscious.
"Quickly, take everyone away." The person who pushed in the door, regardless of whether there were too many target people, ordered his subordinates.
Soon, a few people carried Bai Wei and the others away, and left through the small door adjacent to the next room, without letting the guests outside notice.
The girls couldn't find Bai Xing and the two of them, and they couldn't find any clues after asking, so they had to rush back to the Yang Mansion.
But Baicao was pregnant, and he didn't dare to alarm her. He wanted to find an opportunity to report to Yang Fan, but it was delayed for a lot of time.
Before Yang Fan could send people out to search, the secret guard Bai Ling borrowed from Shangguan Yu and was responsible for protecting the Bai Wei sisters also noticed something was wrong.
"What?" Bai Ling's face turned pale.
Three younger sisters disappeared at once, which was undoubtedly a huge blow.
Women are different from men. Once they are kidnapped, even if they can be brought back unharmed, their reputation will be damaged.
"My subordinates were incompetent and failed to discover in time that something happened to the girls, so I asked the Crown Princess to be punished." The two secret guards knelt down in unison to apologize.
"Now is not the time to plead guilty. Immediately arrange personnel to guard the city gates and search for the whereabouts of the three girls." Shangguan Yu ordered in a cold voice, holding Bai Ling's cold little hand with his big hand, and said comfortingly: "It will be okay, catch them.
Their people must be for some purpose and will not harm them before then."
"Yes." Bai Ling nodded, calmed down and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the prince."
"I will let people guard the Prince's Mansion." After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he immediately gave the order.
Now the prince is under house arrest in the prince's mansion, but as long as the prince is not deposed, his wings will still be there, and it is not difficult to convey instructions. (To be continued)
