Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Three Prince's Mansion

Wu Chen asked, "How's the situation going?"

"The subordinates are useless. I didn't find any useful news. These students rarely talked about Shuangyang County with the son-in-law, let alone heard the treasures of Shuangyang County from the son-in-law. They mainly talked about poetry and songs." said.

"It's fine if you don't find out." Wu Chen said indifferently.

The confidant raised his head and asked: "Master, according to the time calculation, the fifth son and the others will probably arrive at the pier in a few days. Why don't you take a few people to the pier and grab his gifts..."

Wu Chen shook his head and said: "No, Brother Bai is the most favored by the Emperor Father. If the treasure he found in Shuangyang County after traveling all the way to Shuangyang County is robbed, he will definitely not let it go. When the time comes, the royal father will track it down, and it won't be good if we are found. As for what the treasure is, we will find out on the day of the crown prince's wedding."

As the emperor's son, Wu Chen had seen countless treasures since he was a child, and he didn't take the gift Wu Bai prepared for the prince to heart at this moment.

"But let the fifth son go like this? He doesn't have guards around him, so it's a good time to get rid of him." The confidant said unwillingly.

"Don't worry, there are people who want to get rid of him more than us." Wu Chen smiled faintly.

As soon as these words came out, his confidant also thought of Concubine Li, and he laughed clearly.

The days on the boat were rather boring. At first, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo were interested in fishing for tooth sacrifice, but later they didn't want to eat fish anymore. Fortunately, the boat would dock for supplies, so they wouldn't have to eat all the fish.

Ten days was not long or short, and after various stops and walks along the way, Wu Bai and the others finally arrived at their destination.

After getting off the pier, Wu Bai hired a few workers to move the sweet potatoes to the place where they parked the carriage. He was about to pay the other party money, but who knew that these workers did not take the money, but planned to do something to them instead.

Wu Bai realized that something was wrong, and quickly pulled out the whip at his waist and threw it at these people. These people fell to the ground, revealing the daggers in their sleeves.

At this moment, Wu Bai didn't think that the other party was asking for money, he decided that the other party came here to ask for his life.

Immediately, Wu Bai no longer softened his heart towards them, and beat these people severely with a whip, and finally beat these people so that they could not fight back, so Xiao Zimo asked the yamen servant who came to manage the wharf to tie up these people and send them all away. To Dali Temple.

When Dali Temple Minister saw Wu Bai, he was surprised for a moment, and he thought to himself: This fifth young master is too unlucky, and encountered bad people repeatedly attacking him.

After some interrogation, these people finally admitted that they were ordered by others to attack Wu Bai and the others, but they also did not see what the person who ordered them looked like, because the other party was wearing a mask, but they recognized The other party was a man, but the other party's voice was very sharp, and it was very woman-like. In the end, these people were a little confused, and couldn't tell whether the other party was a man or a woman.

They couldn't tell the difference, but Wu Bai and the others could tell the difference from Dali Siqing. This description was clearly the eunuch in the palace.

The minister of Dali Temple came here for interrogation, and he also knew that it was not a topic for him to intervene. He stopped and looked at Wu Bai, and said, "Fifth Young Master, there is not enough evidence now, and I still need some time to investigate."

Wu Bai understood what he meant, but he just didn't want to get involved in the disputes of the court, so he was testing his attitude.

So Wu Bai replied: "I believe in Sir Yu's ability to handle the case, and I believe that in time, Sir Yu will give me a satisfactory answer."

The Minister of Dali Temple heard that Wu Bai did not go into the meaning of the people behind the scenes, but these people in the hall must be sentenced, and he said gratefully: "Please rest assured, my son, I will do my best to live up to your high expectations. .”

"Your Excellency, I should rest assured." Wu Bai left Dali Temple with Xiao Zimo and Yu Lan after finishing speaking.

In fact, it's not that Wu Bai doesn't want to investigate the people behind the scenes, but he understands that there are too few clues now, and Dali Temple will definitely not be able to find out the real culprit.

After leaving, Wu Bai and others quickly returned to the Prince's Mansion.

When Mother Lou heard that they were coming back, she hurried over.

"My lord, you are finally back." Nanny Lou said happily.

Wu Bai nodded and said, "I'm back, is everything okay in the mansion?"

"Everything is fine, but since His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found out about your departure from Beijing, they often send people to the house to inquire about you." Nanny Lou informed.

"When I change my clothes, I will go into the palace to plead guilty to my father and brother. I left too hastily before. I didn't say hello to them. They must be very worried." Wu Bai said.

Grandma Lou looked at the three boxes of sweet potatoes on Wu Bai's carriage, and asked curiously, "Master, what's in your carriage?"

Wu Bai replied: "This is a souvenir brought to us by my father and mother. Mammy, let me carry it to the mansion!"

"Okay." Nanny Lou nodded.

The three of Wu Bai returned to the main courtyard again, washed off the dust, put on clean clothes, and Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo entered the palace together.

When the emperor heard Wang Xi's report, he hurriedly urged, "Let them in."

Wang Xi hurried out and let Wu Bai and his wife enter the imperial study.

"See father." Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo saluted.

"Get up quickly!"

Looking at Wu Bai's face, the emperor always felt that the other party had lost weight. How could he have the heart to let the other party kneel on the ground, so he quickly cried out.

"Thank you, Father." Wu Bai said with a smile.

"You finally know that you are back!" The emperor said dissatisfiedly.

"Father, I've only been away for a month. How can you say that I haven't returned home for ten years?" Wu Bai joked.

"What exactly are you going to Shuangyang County this time?" the emperor asked.

Wu Bai replied: "My son is going to prepare a wedding gift for the emperor."

"It's just a congratulatory gift, you can send someone to get it, why do you have to go there yourself?" the emperor complained.

"Now that I'm married to Zimo, I naturally want to visit the place where Zimo was raised." Wu Bai explained.

At this time, the prince heard the news that Wu Bai had entered the palace, and he hurried to the imperial study.

"Brother Huang!" Wu Bai called out cordially.

Wu Xu took a few glances at Wu Bai and his wife, and seeing that they were doing well, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Brother Bai went to Shuangyang County this time, did you encounter any interesting things?" Wu Xu asked.

"Yes, we took a boat along the way. There are many boats coming and going on the river, which is very spectacular." Wu Bai said.

A few people here were talking and laughing happily, while in Zichen Palace on the other side, Concubine Li was staring at the palace people and asked: "Can you say it again?"

The palace man was frightened by Concubine Li's gloomy eyes, and said tremblingly: "The fifth son and his wife just went to the imperial study."

After confirming that Wu Bai was still alive, Concubine Li was so angry that she grabbed the cup at hand and smashed it on the ground.

The cup fell to the ground, a fragment bounced off the palace man's face, and in an instant, the palace man's face was bleeding. Concubine Li looked at the bad luck and said angrily, "Get out of here."

"Yes." The palace man quickly left here.

Concubine Di Gui also got the news that Wu Bai was still alive, she secretly cursed Concubine Li was useless, and then came to Concubine Li's palace, as expected, she saw Concubine Li angry again.

"Hey! Why do you see Concubine Li angry every time you come to Zichen Palace? Could it be because of her exuberant anger? If so, you should seek medical attention in time." Concubine Di Gui sarcastically said.

"Why are you here?" Li Fei said in a bad tone.

"As the lord of the six palaces, I can't go anywhere in this palace. Naturally, I come here whenever I want." Concubine Di Gui said deliberately.

Concubine Li was very upset when she heard this, she retorted: "You are just a noble concubine, not the master of the Six Palaces, this is Zichen Palace, I don't welcome you, please leave."

"This phoenix seal is in my hands now, not to mention that my status is higher than yours. I haven't accused you of being irrelevant, but you want to drive me away. It's a joke!" Concubine Di Gui once again Irritated Road.

"If you want me to salute you, can you afford it? If Your Majesty sees me saluting to you with this face, who do you think will be ugly then?" Concubine Li sarcastically asked.

"You're all grounded now, how can you see His Majesty, it's ridiculous and pitiful!" Concubine Di Gui sneered, shook her sleeves and left.

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Di Gui's back, clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth secretly and said: "Just wait, one day, this palace will completely trample you under your feet and tear off your high face.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li took out a pen and paper, and began to write a letter to her son Wu Yi who was far away at the border.

Five years ago, after the fourth prince Wu Yi had a dispute with Concubine Li, he ran to the border without saying a word. He changed his name and surname and entered the military camp. The order called him back to the capital, and wanted to reward the young general, but the fourth prince didn't want to return to the capital, so he chose to reveal his true identity.

Knowing Wu Yi's stubborn temper, the emperor didn't force him to return to Beijing when he recognized a reason and didn't turn back. In this way, Wu Yi stayed at the border for five years.

During these five years, he would send things to the capital every year, with a safe letter with him. Everyone did not forget him, but they mentioned it less often.

Concubine Li knew that her son didn't like her forcing him to participate in the battle for the heir apparent, but thinking of her current situation in the harem getting worse, she had no choice but to write to Wu Yi to trick him into returning to Beijing.

Two days later, the prince got married, and the entire palace was filled with joy. Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo came to the East Palace to present their congratulatory gifts.

Wu Chen saw the two of them, walked towards them, and inquired: "Brother Bai, what kind of gift did you give Brother Huang today?"

"It's nothing, it's just ordinary jade." Wu Bai explained.

"Isn't it?" Wu Chen said suspiciously, "I heard that you traveled all the way to Shuangyang County just to prepare a wedding gift for Brother Huang. How could it be just a piece of jade?"

Hearing this, Wu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wu Chen and said, "Oh! Rumors are misleading, I didn't expect Brother Sanhuang to be so easily deceived!"

As soon as Wu Chen heard that Wu Bai was tarnishing his reputation, he quickly explained: "I'm just curious about the gift that Brother Bai prepared for the prince. It's fine if Brother Bai doesn't want to talk about it. Just pretend that I haven't asked, so why bother?" Splash dirty water on me!"

"I said it's just jade, Brother Sanhuang insisted on not believing it, but now it's my fault, and I don't know why, why don't we go to the father to seek justice?" Wu Bai asked back.

Wu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, this matter is my fault, I shouldn't ask you about the congratulatory gift."

Wu Bai shook his head and said, "No, that's not the fault of Brother Sanhuang. The Taifu once taught us brothers and sisters to be respectful, so Brother Sanhuang wanted to find out what my congratulatory gift was. Brother does not believe that there is jade in it, which shows that Brother Huang did not take the words of the mentor and teacher to heart, this is the first mistake."

"Brother Sanhuang believed in rumors by mistake and was unable to distinguish right from wrong. This is the second mistake."

"I clearly said that there is jade in it, but Brother Huang insisted that I didn't want to say it. Could it be that he missed my words? From this point of view, Brother Huang's ears seem to be not very good. The same is true, this is the third mistake."

"Pfft!" The emperor suddenly appeared behind Wu Bai, he listened to Wu Bai's words completely, and seeing Wu Bai's serious look, he couldn't help laughing.

"Father!" Wu Bai and the others quickly saluted the emperor.

"Haha...I didn't expect Brother Bai to be so eloquent." The emperor laughed.

"Father is absurd." Wu Bai touched his nose and said.

"You open the box in your hand and let me have a look. I'm also very curious about what's inside." The emperor said with a smile.

He had never seen Wu Bai silence people for something, so he was really curious about what was in the box.

"Okay!" Wu Bai opened the box.

"It's really a piece of jade!" The emperor said speechlessly.

When the third prince saw the emeralds inside, he panicked. If he had known that Wu Bai was not lying, he would not have talked to Wu Bai, and now he has lost face.
