Chapter 2,223: Relying on the King of Mountains, Duguyan

ll to their knees and beg for mercy. If this happened again, the steward would truly be completely broken."Alright, there will be other opportunities. Go back and get some rest."Ye Bufan rubbed Xia Qi...Gu Chengfang bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, there is a major event that this insignificant citizen cannot discern the truth from falsehood. I implore Your Highness to make a decision."

"Oh" Dugu Yuan showed a curious expression. "Then tell me, what matters require this king's decision"

"Your Highness, this morning a man in black suddenly broke in and left me this note. Please have a look."

Guan Chengfang, speaking, passed the piece of paper in his hand upwards.

He's certainly a sly old fox, isn't he Everything he does is so carefully planned.

If he were to immediately start recounting how Ye Bufan had wronged Qichery, it would be a low blow and might even cause Dugu Yuan's displeasure.

After all, their status is too high; they have no interest in meddling in their family's affairs.

Now he could simply hand up the note, tying together three separate matters: his own household affairs, his nighttime visits to Mount Shuifu Palace, and the disappearance of the Princess.

Even if he didn't bring it up himself, Dugu Yuan would inevitably ask. In that way, he would take the initiative.

As expected, the usually calm and collected Relying Mountain King, upon receiving the note, immediately changed his expression. He asked in a deep voice, "Was the black-cloaked man captured"

Although Guan Chengfang was bowing his head, he kept observing Dugu Yuan's movements. Seeing the other party's reaction, he was instantly delighted, knowing that he had hope.

Since the other party didn't get angry after reading the note and instead asked questions, it means that the last two statements weren't lies but are indeed true.

The circumstantial evidence proves that the woman in the medical clinic is truly Mrs. Situ, which means Ye Bufan is doomed.

He immediately replied, "No, that person was incredibly skilled. None of the guards in my palace noticed him. After leaving the note, he vanished."

Kō Shàn stood up, his hands clasped behind him, pacing back and forth in the hall. He circled twice before turning around and asking, "What do you think about the credibility of this note"

"The common people don't know, so please decide, Your Highness."

The sly old fox, Guan Chengfang, kicked the ball back.

"What's the story about that doctor named Ye Bufan framing your son"

Finally, the question was brought up by Du Gu Yuan.

These two things were very important, and he had to make sure the other person wasn't just talking nonsense before he could take any action.

We can't determine the identity of the person in black now, and we can't find them. Then we can only verify through the first thing.

Gu Chengfang's opportunity was right there, to immediately lay bare Ye Bufan and the housekeeper's feud.

including later how Guan Qi acted strangely, breaking the leg of a son of the Minister of War and then insulting the County Princess of Laiyang.

After explaining everything, he said: "Your Highness, although there is no evidence, my subordinate guesses that this matter is true."

It must be that boy surnamed Ye who disguised himself as my son to cause such a disaster.

But I'm just guessing about how he figured that out. I don't know for sure.

Duguyan frowned, "There are actually such things. This small clinic is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, even with a powerhouse at the Dongxu stage."

"Indeed, Your Highness. Ever since that boy arrived in the capital, things have been anything but quiet around here."

Guan Chengfang said again, "To prevent being deceived by villains, I just went to the ancient medicine doctor's clinic. "

There I saw a woman. I couldn't quite make out her features, but by her figure she was exactly like Stewardess Wangfei.

He had no idea what was going on with this Steward's wife, so he didn't dare add any speculation, just stating the facts.

However, according to his guess, since Wang of Relying on the Mountain had this reaction, that woman was very likely to be Lady Si Tu.

As expected, upon hearing his words, Dugu Yuan immediately made a decision and waved to the eunuch beside him: “Summon General Yan Feng of the Imperial Guard.”

Although Yan Feng was the commander of the Imperial Guard, he lived within the palace walls and was under Wang's command.

"Yes!"

The eunuch in charge received the order and left. He didn't stay out long before returning with a general clad in shining armor, none other than Yan Feng.

"The last general has met the prince!"

As soon as Yan Feng entered the door, he immediately stepped forward and bowed.

He and Guan Chengfang had known each other for many years and got along well. Seeing the other person, he immediately had a guess in his mind.

Dugu Yuan said: "Yan Feng, you now lead three thousand Imperial Guards and immediately surround the Gu Yi Men clinic."

"There's a rumor going around that someone impersonated Lady Situ and is trying to take her place. Could you investigate this for me and see if there's any truth to it"

He was also very skilled at speaking, he didn't say whether the Princess's disappearance was true or false, only that someone was impersonating her.

"The last general obeys!"

Yan Feng immediately took the order, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Your Highness, that doctor's clinic has some connection with the Crown Princess. I wonder what extent would be appropriate for me to go to"

Having served as the grand commander of the palace for so many years, he naturally understood the intricate web of interests between the various factions. He didn't want to offend Wang, his powerful patron, nor did he wish to antagonize the Crown Princess.

"That's how it is."

Dugu Yuan frowned. In the Dashun Empire, he was truly powerful, arguably second only to the emperor.

If this is true, he doesn't take Lin Sisi seriously, but if it's false, he also doesn't want to make things too difficult with the future Crown Princess.

It's not fear, but a complete lack of necessity. After all, the other party is his nephew.

After all, the note Guan Chengfang produced was too surreal. It just appeared out of thin air, and who knows which part is true and which part is false

"Alright, you go to the Gu Yi Men clinic with my gold medal and investigate."

If anyone is found impersonating Consort Si, then don't worry about the Crown Princess's face. Just bring them to me directly.

"If this is fake, just take it back."

After Du Gu Yu finished speaking, he took out a gold plaque and threw it over.

This is a very cautious approach. If what the Duchess of Situ said is true, then the other party is very likely to be an assassin who entered the palace at night.

If this point doesn't hold water, then the second point is likely false as well.

As a powerful figure, he wasn't stupid. That note might have been fabricated by Cheng Fang, who wanted to use him to eliminate the other party.

"Yes, sir!"

Once he understood the situation, Yan Feng felt confident and turned to leave.

"Your Highness, I once saw the woman who pretended to be Madam Situ. Would you like to go and identify her together"

Guan Chengfang knew that this current matter was his only chance to turn things around, and there could be no mistakes. That's why he volunteered to go with them.

"OK, go ahead!"

Dugu Yuan waved his hand and Guan Chengfang followed him out of the Mount Shu Palace.

After leaving the house, Yan Feng quietly asked, "Master Butler, are you sure this time You almost got me into trouble last time."

That kid surnamed Ye somehow has a good relationship with the Crown Princess. Don't do anything without evidence if it's something that isn't proven.

Guan Chengfang said, "I have a 90% certainty that the woman is Mrs. Situ. Even if she's not really her, someone must be impersonating her with ulterior motives."

"Well, that's settled then. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time."

Yansheng was a man who could get along with everyone. He didn't want to offend Wang, his patron, nor did he want to provoke the Crown Princess.

After finishing his speech, he mustered three thousand royal guards of the Imperial City and led them in a mighty charge towards the ancient medical practitioners' clinic.

Just as the doctor, Guan Chengfang, had just left, Princess Consort Lin Sisi walked in.

Yè Bùfán knew she had something to tell him, so he directly brought her into the adjacent quiet room.

After shutting the door behind him, sealing it against the outside noise, he immediately asked: "So Any news on Si Tu Dian Mo's affair"int voice came, it was Ye Bufan.After killing Wang Ruoyang, the murderous intent and anger in his heart had completely vanished. At this moment, a faint smile played on his face, as if everything was...
