The entire side hall was searched carefully several times by Xiao Yuwei, but the whereabouts of the middle-aged eunuch were still not found.

"Commander-in-chief, that person may have taken advantage of the end of the Qianqiu Banquet to sneak out of the palace by hiding among the families of the ministers who left the palace."

After the search, a Xiaoyu Guard reported.

Xiao Lichen thought about the time when His Majesty fainted and the Qianqiu Banquet ended, and said coldly, "The palace gate has been sealed. Search the entire palace as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will take someone to do it!"

A group of people quickly evacuated the side hall.

Xiao Lichen was left sitting there, lost in thought.

His Majesty fainted first, and then the Qianqiu Banquet was over.

The minister left the palace with his family.

And that was probably the critical moment to make medicine for His Majesty.

No, that person must have an assistant, otherwise, how could he boil the medicine while assassinating Imperial Physician Cao and pushing him into trouble?

The distance between the two within the palace is quite far.

The other party has an accomplice.

Xiao Lichen suddenly thought of something.

"Quick, push me to the direction of Wenying Palace."

He shouted to Hei Yan, the personal guard who was standing beside him and responsible for protecting his safety.

Black Flame pushed him to quicken his pace.

At the palace gate, Tao Yuwei and her family passed by the Xiaoyu Guards and the Imperial Guards who were guarding there. After a joint and strict search, the palace gate was opened and they were allowed to pass.

Along the way, Tao Yuwei kept her eyes closed.

She and Wu were sitting in their own carriage.

Tao Zhihong rode a horse and escorted by the side.

[The purpose of the northern barbarians entering the capital this time was to plant spies in the Great Zhou. It is unknown who they brought into the Great Zhou and how many people they arranged to infiltrate the Great Zhou.]

What? The northern barbarians are actually fighting for this purpose.

Tao Zhihong was riding on his horse, and his heart tightened when he remembered that he had specially sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the northern barbarians, but they did not find anything unusual.

After returning home, I have to send more people to thoroughly find out the exact number of spies sent by the Northern Barbarians into the Great Zhou, and then find a way to eliminate them all.

He has already started investigating the plot against his wife in the palace.

Tao Yuwei in the carriage was still thinking about something.

[Gao Chengan and Concubine Yu, who plotted against my mother, are already dead. Gao Chengan is of the same character as his father Gao Huaizhen. In private, they both like married women. No one would doubt his motives towards my mother, but why would Concubine Yu, who is deep in the harem, also plot against my mother?]

Mother has already escaped this disaster. No matter who is hiding behind Concubine Yu, his purpose is nothing more than to deal with the entire General's Mansion.

Her family has been targeted time and again, which shows that the people behind the scenes know very well that her father Tao Zhihong is loyal to the country, holds military power, and is a loyal minister, and his heart is only loyal to His Majesty.

Trying to win people over by trickery doesn't work. If you want to ascend to that high position of power, you must first get rid of the useful people around Your Majesty and remove the stumbling blocks.

Therefore, there were plans to target the General's Mansion again and again.

When it comes down to it, it was because her father was capable and had a large army under his command, and her father-in-law was also a general, so they blocked the way for others.

No matter who it is, if they find that the general's wife is difficult to deal with, they will definitely change their strategy.

Dad should have known from mom that someone was plotting against her. Let dad find out who is behind this.

[Recently, things have been happening one after another. I hope my eldest cousin and eldest brother can return safely. The third princess is looking forward to her eldest cousin coming back to marry her.]

[If she had come back a little later, the Third Princess would have been betrothed to Wang Jue, the son of the Left Prime Minister. That guy is not a human being. He likes men.]

[The third princess really liked her eldest cousin. After various misunderstandings, she was forced by Concubine De to marry Wang Jue. After the marriage, she was not only locked up and beaten, but also claimed to be infected with the plague. What's worse, she was abused by his men in turn.]

[She persisted until the Eighth Prince took power and rescued her. She just wanted to see her cousin again, but she learned that her cousin had already died under the scimitars of the barbarians.]

[In the end, she married into the Northern Barbarians for the sake of the Great Zhou, and committed suicide at the border in front of the soldiers of the Great Zhou and Northern Barbarians for the sake of the country.]

The third princess is so miserable.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Wu and Tao Zhihong outside the carriage were almost numb.

No, we have to help the third princess.

Prince Wang likes men?

It is not obvious that Wang Xiang's son is so fond of men. If the third princess really wants to marry him, wouldn't her life be ruined?

Wu secretly decided in her heart that she would go to the palace again tomorrow to find out what the Empress was thinking in advance to see if she could get the Empress to write an imperial edict to grant the marriage.

Tao Zhihong outside the carriage was thinking a lot.

When we got back home, it was already late.

After Tao Yuwei entered the mansion, she separated from Tao Zhihong and his wife.

[No matter how many things you have to do, you still have to go to sleep first. 】

Seeing her daughter's heartless attitude of taking the longest break, Mrs. Wu smiled and shook her head.

My daughter has the broadest heart.

When faced with danger and trouble, she always maintained that courageous spirit of moving forward fearlessly without fear of difficulties.

She often forgets that she still has them to rely on.

"Ma'am, we should go back and rest."

Tao Zhihong took Wu's hand and returned to their own yard.

"My husband, it's all thanks to you for having someone hold back the senior palace maid who was serving the sobering soup to Concubine Yu, otherwise Gao Chengan wouldn't have succeeded."

Being able to dodge the scheme and turn it against the opponent was the result of their joint cooperation.

It was her husband who deliberately offered His Majesty more deer blood wine at the banquet, which made His Majesty angry and anxious to find Concubine Yu to relieve his anger.

Later, His Majesty, in his search for Concubine Yu, witnessed with his own eyes Concubine Yu and Gao Chengan, who had plotted against her, being together.

Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?

The couple sat down in the room and showed no intention of resting.

Tao Zhihong thought of the dark hand that plotted against his wife in the palace. He said coldly, "Thanks to my daughter's reminder, the person who plotted against you failed. I will send someone to investigate what happened before Concubine Yu entered the palace. This time, the entire Gao family has fallen, but Concubine Gao and the second prince Yong Wang are still there."

"Ever since Gao Huaizhen was arrested by His Majesty, Concubine Gao, just like her reputation as a virtuous woman, has never appeared in person to plead for her father in front of His Majesty."

After hearing this, Wu asked worriedly, "Didn't the Second Prince, Prince Yong, express his opinion?"

It doesn't sound common sense at all.

In your majesty's harem, whenever any concubine's family encounters trouble, no matter what the reason, they will take the initiative to run to your majesty to ask for mercy and plead for their family.

However, Concubine Gao would rather be talked about cruelly in private than take the initiative to ask His Majesty to let her father Gao Huaizhen go.

Gao Huaizhen was accused of drugging and molesting a woman and was sentenced to exile at most, but he would not lose his life.

Concubine Gao's behavior was not in line with common sense.

"Next time you enter the palace and see Concubine Gao, be more careful."

Tao Zhihong had already realized that someone was deliberately trying to destroy his family.

He decided to take the initiative based on the information revealed by his daughter and no longer keep a low profile.

The deaths of Gao Chengan and Yu Fei tonight were meant to deter the other side.

Tell the other party that he has seen through the conspiracy and knows of their existence.

"My husband, I will go to the palace tomorrow. My eldest nephew is not young anymore, and those who are older than him already have several children. I will help the third princess and Han Mo to get together, and ask the queen to grant them a marriage."

Her sister-in-law on her natal side was born in the southwestern border area and had no roots in the capital. She knew and could talk to very few noble ladies, so her sister-in-law had long since given her the important task of finding a wife for her eldest nephew.

Tao Zhihong knew that his wife must have listened to what their daughter was thinking, which gave her a clue and a sense of urgency.
