Chapter 509: The Substituted Daughter (4)
Chapter 509: The Substituted Daughter (4)
Since the Cui family wanted to marry Cui Nishang to the seventh prince Jun You so much, Su Li would not let them have their way.
As for Madam Cui Yao Yushuang, although she had always treated the original body harshly, she did not know that the other party was her daughter.
The crime is not punishable by death, so let her live like this for the rest of her life.
After drinking Tai Sui soup without blood, she would become like a cripple, unable to get out of bed, like a living dead.
Su Li first went to the Cui family's warehouse and took away all of the Cui family's property.
Su Li simply transformed himself into other people and cashed in the shop deeds and land deeds of the Cui family and Mrs. Cui.
Afterwards, she went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Now that the Crown Prince's Mansion has proposed to the Cui Mansion, the Seventh Prince, who was once a tool, can retire after accomplishing his mission.
It's impossible to really let Cui Nishang marry him and enjoy a good life, right?
The next day, news spread from the Seventh Prince's Mansion that the Seventh Prince was missing.
Afterwards, the steward of the Seventh Prince's Mansion also discovered that the precious treasures that His Majesty had bestowed upon the mansion over the years had inexplicably disappeared.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince had already been sent to the primitive era of this world thousands of years ago by Su Li using a time machine.
There were ferocious beasts everywhere, and people were short of food and clothing.
Whether he can survive depends on his own luck.
Come and see him when you have time.
Upon learning of the disappearance of the seventh prince, many court officials turned their attention to the crown prince who was acting as regent.
After all, the news that the two brothers simultaneously proposed to marry the same woman had spread throughout the capital.
The instigator was of course Su Li.
In the harem, the seventh prince's mother, Concubine Xue, went to look for the seriously ill old emperor with a sad face, "Your Majesty, our son You'er is missing! Your Majesty, you must get better!"
Upon learning that his beloved son was missing, the old emperor was extremely worried. "What happened? How could this happen?"
He quickly asked the chief eunuch to investigate.
"Your Majesty, it must have been done by the prince! Yesterday, You'er proposed to the Cui family, and the prince forged an imperial decree to let the Cui family's legitimate daughter serve as his host! It must be him who harmed my You'er!" Concubine Xue's face was covered with tears.
"How, how is it possible!" The old emperor was surprised, "The prince has already promised me that he will not harm his seventh brother."
He also knew the personalities of the two brothers: the crown prince was ruthless and capable of governing a country, while the seventh son was gentle and kind and could serve as an assistant.
Therefore, when he was seriously ill this time, he was actually handing over power to the prince.
He had already agreed with the crown prince that if he inherited the throne he must treat his brothers well and not kill each other.
Before, the prince had agreed to it.
Why did Youer suddenly disappear?
"Your Majesty, you don't know! The prince searched the whole capital the night before last, saying that he was assassinated by an assassin in the prince's mansion, causing great unrest. Yesterday, our You'er finally fell in love with a girl and said he wanted to marry her home to give birth to a grandson for you. But the prince stole her away and insisted on making that girl Fengyi!"
Concubine Xue said indignantly, "You also know that there are so many beauties in the prince's mansion. If he really likes the Cui family's legitimate daughter, he should at least make her a concubine. Issuing an imperial decree to make her a concubine is actually a slap in the face of our son. You'er just told me about this last night, and it happened today. If it wasn't him, who else could have done it!"
The old emperor frowned and thought for a moment, "It seems that the prince can no longer hold back. You go back first, I will have someone look for You'er's whereabouts."
"Your Majesty~" Concubine Xue called out in a coquettish voice, with an unhappy look on her face, "You should have sent people to search the Crown Prince's Mansion directly! He must have hidden my You'er. Also, I heard that the treasures we gave to You'er in the past are all gone!"
"Xin'er, I know you feel sad that You'er is missing. You'er is also my favorite child, I feel the same way as you do."
The old emperor comforted him, "Don't worry, I will have someone investigate the Crown Prince's Mansion. Once I find out that it was indeed the Crown Prince who did it, I will give you an explanation! If he really killed his brothers and sisters, then his role as the Crown Prince will be over!"
When Concubine Xue heard this, she showed a look of satisfaction.
She used a handkerchief to hide the smile on her face. "Okay, then Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The safety of You'er and me depends entirely on you!"
At this moment, Concubine Xue did not know that her son had really disappeared.
She knew that the assassination at the Prince's Mansion the night before was committed by her son.
Therefore, she thought that today's disappearance was a show directed and performed by her son, with the purpose of pointing the finger at the prince.
Make Your Majesty fear the Crown Prince.
Su Li, who happened to be in the palace preparing to find the Seventh Prince's father to pay off a debt, heard the conversation between the two.
She had a wicked smile on her face.
In that case, let’s get the Seventh Prince back in a few days!
And here at the Prince’s Mansion.
When the crown prince learned that the seventh prince was missing, he did not think much about it. Instead, he asked someone to notify the Cui Mansion to bring Cui Nishang to the crown prince's mansion within three days.
After hearing about the disappearance of the seventh prince, Minister Cui was extremely worried.
Now that he knew that the Prince's Mansion had sent someone to urge him, he almost couldn't breathe.
After casually dealing with the visitor from the Prince's Mansion, he went to look for his first wife, Madam Cui.
That is Aunt Zhao after she has changed her appearance.
"Yushuang, what should we do? The Seventh Prince is missing, and the wedding date between him and Nishang has not been set yet. Now the Prince's Mansion says that they will bring Nishang home within three days." Minister Cui said this in one breath, grabbed the teacup on the table and took a hasty sip.
"Master, what are you going to do? In fact, it's not a bad idea for Nichang to enter the Prince's Mansion..." Aunt Zhao said in a low voice, not knowing the situation outside.
Minister Cui glanced at her in confusion, "You know that I have always been on the side of the Seventh Prince. It was you who said before that Linglong should marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion instead of Nishang..."
Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, then she rolled her eyes and said quickly, "Master, this is a different time! The whereabouts of the Seventh Prince is unknown. The Crown Prince is the legitimate future heir to the throne. Our Nichang is so beautiful, maybe she can be made a concubine or something in the future."
Minister Cui thought for a moment and felt that what she said made a lot of sense. "Yes, now that the Seventh Prince is missing and the situation is unclear, we can't afford to offend the Crown Prince again. If the Seventh Prince shows up, it would be the same to marry Linglong to him as a concubine."
"That's right!" Aunt Zhao nodded quickly.
Cui Nishang, who was standing at the door, originally wanted to refuse to marry into the Prince's Mansion, but after hearing what they said, she felt that it made some sense.
With her looks, she will definitely be able to capture the prince's heart!
At this moment, the housekeeper came to report, "Master, Madam, something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong?" Cui Nishang, who was standing at the door, asked hurriedly.
"Hey, Miss, all the silver and land deeds in our warehouse are gone!" The butler said breathlessly, patting his legs.
"What!" Minister Cui, who was speaking, hurried out upon hearing this.
