C182 (1/2)

Former Crown Prince and Lady Shi ran away.

Relying on the abilities of those two people, it was impossible for them to run without being noticed. Needless to say, it was done by the Shi family and Lu Family.

His reaction was considered fast, knowing that he had to protect the two souls first. Otherwise, if one of His Majesty got angry and got hurt, no matter how capable they were, there would be no place for them.

But even if this was the case, even if Lu Family and the Shi Family were to be completely proven guilty, His Majesty had just gotten completely exhausted of the incident with King Qin, and then suddenly caused these two families to cause trouble, and was even a family that he trusted a lot in the past, so His Majesty started to suspect life, why didn't anyone work so hard for him?

Looking at the entire Imperial Court, there was only Elder Official Xie left, the Elder Official Xie had steadily become the head and support of the cabinet. Ever since the Former Crown Prince was crippled, Pavilion Elder Song was pushed aside step by step, and the cabinet was already the strongest in the country. Although it had the power to overthrow the entire country, there were not many people in the His Majesty that could rely on, so after thinking for a bit, the cabinet still summoned the Elder Official Xie into the palace.

His Majesty asked directly: ”What do you think of the matter with the Lu Family and the Shi family?”

The origin of Xie Family and Lu Family was not shallow. Before this matter had happened, a person thought that Xie Family was wearing a pair of pants, therefore Xie Cen was extremely terrified in his heart, thinking that the His Majesty did not trust him.

”This official will definitely investigate the matter of Abandoned Crown Prince's conspiracy with all my power. Once it is confirmed, I will not hold back!”

His Majesty nodded his head, ”Your family's young lady is even taking the Lu Family as her daughter-in-law, are you willing to part with her?”

Xie Cen suddenly raised his body, his hand that was lying on the ground was trembling, ”This subject, this subject cannot bear it, but if I am truly involved, this subject will not show mercy.”

What a ruthless Elder Official Xie, just as expected!

How could His Majesty have the heart to be pained for him? ”This way, the case will be left to you to handle with full authority, as for the other two, you must get them back, if necessary, you can cut them off first and play it later.”

His Majesty's attitude was extremely clear, that he had to find them, and it did not matter whether they came back horizontally or vertically, as long as he was alive and wanted to see people's corpses, he could not stand these unscrupulous things breathing in a place that he could not see.

If this matter was handed to the Elder Official Xie, then there was no way the Abandoned Crown Prince could be considered as alive. With the consoling pill of the His Majesty, there was nothing to worry about, after all, in this situation, even if he brought it back alive, he would still need to make a cut.

As a result, the Elder Official Xie ordered the entire city to search for him. Before he ran out of the capital, he would catch a turtle in a jar.

He was truly a stray dog whose life was like straw. No matter what, he was a dignified Former Crown Prince and in the end, he couldn't be a good person.

On the third day after the order to search, there were a long line of people waiting to leave the city. Due to the strict investigation on the people leaving the city these days, it took a lot of time and effort. After half a day, they finally moved a few steps forward.

Amongst the people dressed in all sorts of clothes and clothes, there were two very unremarkable old men. They described them as a little slovenly, stooped, and hobbled, like a couple supporting each other. The old man walked with trembling steps as if he had contracted some sort of illness, and the old man was small and thin, with a sallow complexion.

The two of them were Abandoned Crown Prince and Lady Shi who had not left the city in time.

After all, she was someone who had been a crown prince before. Once she peeled off the skin of the crown prince, she would be like a stray dog, unable to take it out with her. Thinking about how the entire Shi family would have to bear all the humiliation for the sake of such a thing, she felt extremely aggrieved.

Abandoned Crown Prince muttered, ”It's all because of your fear, it's better to leave the city two days earlier. Look at how strict the investigation is now, what happens if you are recognized!”

The Lady Shi was too lazy to bother with him. Did he really think that it would be so easy for him to escape from the palace and travel to the capital? Recently, at Tianjin Port, even the Yongping Prefecture had been in an uproar. The forces that had been waiting in ambush outside the capital had no choice but to withdraw. There weren't even any reinforcements coming out of the city. Were they waiting for someone to apprehend them?

Furthermore, they really did not expect Elder Official Xie to be so ruthless, killing everyone the moment they appeared. They had so easily found a hiding place that they were unable to escape being searched, not even leaving their nests or nests behind. If she did not react fast enough to escape, the two of them would have probably been decapitated by now.
