famous eldest daughter

Chapter 1147 Dead
Doctor Zhou...

Cough cough... cough cough cough... cough cough cough...

Pharyngitis is most afraid of a dry throat. When he coughs, his lungs will jump out of his throat.

Xiao Rui's anxious eyes burned, and he lifted up Doctor Zhou's collar, "Don't cough, tell me quickly!"

Doctor Zhou...

Prince, I... I don’t want to cough either. Whoever coughs will feel uncomfortable. I can’t hold it in...

"Water...water..." Shaking his chapped lips, Dr. Zhou was held up by Xiao Rui's collar. He raised his head and looked at him with pleading eyes, "Give me a sip of water..."

Xiao Rui... "Trash!"

Doctor Zhou let go, turned to one side and nodded slightly to the attendant. The attendant immediately turned around, took out a cup of tea from the nearest room, and handed it to Doctor Zhou, who was hunched over and coughing, his face was red, his lips were black, his eyes were watering. .

A cup of ice-cold tea entered the throat, although the stomach immediately felt uncomfortable, but the throat was no longer itchy, and finally stopped coughing.

Doctor Zhou looked at Xiao Rui with full of apology, cleared his throat and said, "This morning, Doctor Wang suddenly disappeared."

Imperial Physician Wang has been taking care of Xiao Yu, and they got all the news about Xiao Yu from Imperial Physician Wang.

It was Dr. Wang who told them that Xiao Yu was still bedridden. Based on this, they judged that Xiao Yu, who had been kneeling every day these past few days, was a fake.

But the real Xiao Yu is still lying somewhere in the palace, being cared for by Dr. Wang!
Entering the palace today, they wanted to expose the fake Xiao Yu's true face in public at the coronation ceremony, so that they could completely cut off Xiao Yu's path to becoming an emperor.

Pretending to be a prince for the coronation ceremony is a serious crime against the nine clans!
Everyone involved will die.

If this matter is successfully accomplished, their subsequent affairs will come naturally without any effort.

But now... Imperial Physician Wang is gone...

Xiao Rui suddenly tensed up, "Speak slowly, Doctor Wang is no longer here. What do you mean?"

Doctor Zhou took a deep breath and said: "Because today is the coronation ceremony, according to the prince's instructions, the mission of the minister today is to pester the doctor Wang and keep an eye on the fourth highness who is bedridden for the prince, waiting for the prince to show up. I exposed the fake Fourth Highness earlier, and then led everyone to see the real Fourth Highness, in case they got the news and fled."

"But early this morning, Wei Chen entered the palace, but he couldn't find Imperial Physician Wang anywhere. Not only was Imperial Physician Wang gone, but even the two medicine boys in front of Imperial Physician Wang were missing. Wei Chen went to the palace of Imperial Physician Wang specifically. I went to ask, and the people at his residence said that Doctor Wang has not returned to his residence for two days in a row."

Xiao Rui's heart was beating fast as he listened, but he couldn't make out any clues from the words of Imperial Physician Zhou.

Doctor Wang suddenly disappeared, it was simply that he was hidden by someone.

But...why are you hiding him?
Is it just to cover up the fact that Xiao Yu is bedridden?
Even if they hid Imperial Physician Wang to cover up this fact, once they let the fake Xiao Yu show his true colors at the coronation ceremony, everything would still be exposed. Hiding Imperial Physician Wang would not have any effect at all.

On the contrary, it will arouse suspicion in others.

Although Concubine Hui was a woman and was not as knowledgeable and resourceful as a man, she could not do such a stupid thing that would not be easy.

Who is hiding the doctor Wang?

In the flash of lightning, Xiao Rui once again thought of the scene where the head chamberlain suddenly passed by at the Chinanhou Mansion and what the head chamberlain said.

The sky has changed...

Xiao Rui's eyelids suddenly twitched.

Could it be that the people who disappeared were not only Dr. Wang, but also Xiao Yu?
Someone kidnapped Imperial Physician Wang and Xiao Yu together?

Thinking about this, combined with the panic on the faces of the chamberlain and Gu Yuqing just now, Xiao Rui felt more and more that his guess was the truth.

Could it be... Seriously, besides them, there is another group of people attacking!
Who is it that has such great ability and does everything in front of them... Doubts only arise, Xiao Rui thought of what Gu Yuqing said.

When he was at the Chinanhou Mansion, he didn't believe a word of what Gu Yuqing said. He definitely thought that it was another alienation trick used by Gu Yuqing in order to destroy the relationship between him and his father, so as to take advantage of it. .

But now... Xiao Rui's determination has wavered.

That group of people did everything just one step faster than they did, just a little bit ahead of time... Is this really such a coincidence?

In other words, someone was simply making a show with him!

The sparkling light in his eyes turned cold in vain, Xiao Rui turned his head and headed straight towards Prince Nan'an's study.

Doctor Zhou immediately raised his feet and followed closely.

He could only walk two steps. The young man who had planned to report back to Xiao Rui about Prince Nan'an entering the palace saw that Xiao Rui and Doctor Zhou were no longer talking, so he stepped forward again and said: "Your Highness, the prince has already entered the palace. Let your highness wait for a while." Mansion, enter the palace immediately."

Xiao Ruicai's raised foot immediately froze in mid-air. He turned his head in surprise and looked at the boy, "What did you say?"

The young man was frightened by the murderous look on Xiao Rui's face and said, "The prince entered the palace just before I burned the incense. The prince searched for his son several times but couldn't find him, so he left early."

Xiao Rui sneered, can't find it?

In this capital, apart from doing errands for his father, the only place he can go to is the Chinan Marquis Mansion. Will his father not be able to find him?

Could it be that he couldn't find it, or that he wasn't looking for it at all? It was simply a deliberate attempt to conceal it.

Clenching his drooping fist hard, Xiao Rui said coldly: "Who did the prince enter the palace with?"

The boy then reported back, "The prince has brought four secret guards of wind, thunder and lightning."

Xiao Rui...

Wind, Thunder and Lightning are the most outstanding among all the secret guards.

"Why is it suddenly advanced?" Xiao Rui asked again calmly.

The low-hanging eyelashes covered the rolling clouds in his eyes.

This boy can be regarded as King Nan'an's personal servant. King Nan'an specifically ordered him to wait for Xiao Rui at the second gate. As soon as Xiao Rui returned to the palace, he immediately let him enter the palace, so he treated King Nan'an This boy also knows a thing or two about it.

Hearing this, he immediately said: "This morning, someone suddenly came to the palace. As soon as that person left, the prince immediately left for the palace."

Xiao Rui frowned, "Who is it?"

The boy shook his head, "The man was wearing a cloak, covering his face. I didn't see it. It was the housekeeper who led him to the prince's study..." After the words slowed down, the boy added: "The prince's entourage was serving tea in front of him. , you should also know the identity of that person, he has been waiting on you when that person was talking to the prince."

"Go and call them here." Xiao Rui ordered in a deep voice.

The boy received the order and immediately turned around to execute it.

He couldn't walk for more than a moment, so he trotted all the way back, stumbling back. Looking at his pale and bloodless face, Xiao Rui's heart became more and more chilly. Before the boy could reply, Xiao Rui said: "The housekeeper and the tea attendant who know the identity of that person are dead. Already?"

The boy's bloodless lips trembled, the horror and fear in his eyes had not dissipated, and he said in shock: "Does the prince know?"

Xiao Rui...

Father... you are really a good father to my children!

The hidden guards in Jing'an Hutong were arranged by him himself. If he hadn't nodded, even a live fly wouldn't be able to fly in. Who could have such a great ability to kill the stewards in the mansion and the attendants around the father!
What's more, those two people are already highly skilled in martial arts!
