Chapter 461 Night Visit

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, so he said an idea that surprised everyone present.

"I think the real former prince should be someone we have seen. The more blatant he is, the less likely he is to arouse suspicion. The Wei family may be an excellent breakthrough point."

After listening to Gu Shaoyu's words, Guo Xiang also agreed.

"It makes sense. They have no way to join the prince, and they have a useless fourth prince in their hands. I don't think that old man Wei Taiwei will easily admit defeat. Anyway, they have to fight. If he can follow the former prince to rebel against Daxing, I am afraid his achievements will be higher than supporting the fourth prince to ascend to the throne."

"Really? But his granddaughter married the fourth prince and gave birth to a child. Can they be so ruthless even if they are related by blood?"

When Guo Silang said this, he was also a little unbelievable.

Once it is confirmed that the Wei family really surrendered to the crown prince of the previous dynasty, it means that they have given up the fourth prince. If the fourth prince and his party find out one day, wouldn't Wei Jialian be in danger?

Unfortunately, Minister Guo sneered and said.

"Look at how the Wei family came to power, and you should know that the Wei family has no face. One generation is like this, two generations are like this, and three generations are like this. Humph, they don't even want face, let alone family affection."

Minister Guo pointed out the thoughts of the Wei family incisively, and Gu Shaoyu believed it without any doubt, so he didn't say much nonsense and said directly.

"Whether the Wei family surrendered to the crown prince of the previous dynasty, I will personally check it. As for the crown prince, Grandfather Guo still needs to be prepared and conduct a thorough investigation to prevent the remnants of the previous dynasty from infiltrating the East Palace!"

Minister Guo nodded and said.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter. You and Lieutenant General Ni are just two people. It's bound to be a bit difficult to investigate the Wei family. Why don't we use the secret guards of the Eastern Palace?"

Guo Xiang also had good intentions, but Gu Shaoyu refused.

"Two people are enough. The Wei family doesn't have the ability to trap me."

Gu Shaoyu's confidence also comes from his ability, so after hearing this, Guo Xiang didn't force him anymore.

After a simple farewell, Gu Shaoyu took Ni Yang and disappeared into the dark night again. Guo Xiang stood with his hand and watched their backs as they left, then turned to Guo Silang and gave him instructions.

"Commander Jin in the Imperial Guard is one of us. When you go there tomorrow, you will thoroughly investigate and tell him. This is the last line of defense of the Imperial City and the Eastern Palace. There must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"

"Grandson understands!"

The night was dark, accompanied by the chill of winter.

There were fewer and fewer people on the street, and the Duke's Mansion, which had been deserted for a long time, now welcomed two uninvited guests.

Gu Shaoyu was very familiar with the Duke's Mansion, so even in the dark night, he could shuttle back and forth inside. Soon, he brought Ni Yang to Yunjin Courtyard.

Yunjin Courtyard was still the same as when they left, with no major changes.

Palace lanterns were hung everywhere, and there was a rare calm and peace in the dark night, but this was just on the surface.

There was no one in the main house, but there seemed to be a sound coming from an inconspicuous compartment. Gu Shaoyu and Ni Yang looked at each other and moved towards that place, but when Gu Shaoyu hid in the corner and secretly looked into the house, he saw a scene that made him extremely angry.

The compartment here looked worse than the well-off women in the mansion, and no one would have thought that the Duke in the Duke's Mansion was now huddled on the bed, full of fear and terror.

He had been ill for so long that he was skinny and weak, and now there were some red slap marks on his face, which showed that he had suffered inhuman abuse.

If it wasn't for the purpose of not letting the children mourn, Mrs. Wei would have sent him to the underworld to reunite with Mrs. Gu. At this moment, what Gu Shaoyu saw was Mrs. Wei slapping Shang Yukuan on the sickbed one after another, and even said with disgust and dirty words.

"Waste, what else can you do all day besides pooping on the bed? I feel dirty even if I hit you!"

Mrs. Wei was a little angry outside today, so she had no place to vent after she came back, so she found Shang Yukuan here. The husband she used to regard as the sky is now just an ant at her feet, and she can step on him to death at any time, so she vented her anger freely.

"Hmph, your precious son has been thinking about opposing our Wei family and the fourth prince all day long. He is indeed a bastard who gave birth to a bastard, the same kind of person as his dead grandfather from the Gu family!"

"Now, I feel much more comfortable. A deadly trap has been set up in Sui'an City. When he comes back, he will be beheaded! Hahaha, by the way, there are also his children, who are also bastards who don't deserve to live. They should be cleaned up together and sent to the underground to reunite!"

In the corner, Gu Shaoyu clenched his fists, but his breathing remained unchanged. However, Ni Yang, who was standing next to him, could feel that his general's anger had reached its peak. I'm afraid that this lady Wei inside would not have a good end.

Shang Yukuan couldn't speak clearly now. After hearing this, he wanted to ask a few questions, but he was powerless. Therefore, he could only shed two lines of clear tears silently. Endless regret was in his heart. When he was in extreme pain, he couldn't help coughing a few more times.

Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and Shang Yukuan knew that he would not live long.

He had wanted to die a long time ago. It was so satisfying to live without dignity and in torture. However, no matter how much he wanted to, he didn't know what kind of medicine Madam Wei had in her hand. It always kept him alive and prevented him from dying.

Therefore, the thought of wanting to die but not being able to do so tortured him to no end.

Seeing Shang Yukuan in such pain, Madam Wei felt much better. After looking at him like a stink bug, she said to the servants who served him.

"Throw away those dirty and smelly quilts. If they don't stink up Yunjin Courtyard, I won't feel comfortable living there."

"Yes."

Shang Yukuan used the quilt to describe the person. Madam Wei meant that he was the dirty and smelly quilts, which could be thrown away at will. His self-esteem was trampled on again, and his desire to die rose again and again.

When he looked at Madam Wei again, his eyes became a little sharp.

Unfortunately, all that was left for him was the back of Madam Wei leaving, and the cold compartment, lonely and sad, just like his entire old age.

After everyone left, Lieutenant General Ni spoke softly.

"General, do you want to take the Duke away?"

With their abilities, it would not be difficult to take such a person away, but there would be trouble later. (End of this chapter)
