Chapter 1307: Wouldn’t It Be Wufu?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Prince Xu’s estate, a discussion was being held.

These people answered, “There’s nothing special, but it has been more than a month since the Empress ascended the throne, and she hasn’t been seen at the last court session. Everything was handled by the officials left behind by the former Emperor. She only cares about playing around. Previously, she only cared about herself, but now, she even cares about her male companion.

“A male companion was kidnapped by Prince Xu and given to her. He’s the third son of the Ni family in the imperial city, Ni Dingyuan. Ni Dingyuan’s family is an ordinary scholarly family. They did not dare to say anything when Fu Xu took Ni Dingyuan. Prince Xu’s residence was a little strange.

“Fu Xu had been secretly spreading the rumor that the Empress only cared about pleasure and that women were not worthy of ruling the throne. Now that the Empress has a male companion, she doesn’t care about anything else anymore. There were many complaints about Fu Ying becoming the Empress.

“It seems that on the day Fu Xu kidnapped Ni Dingyuan and gave him to Fu Ying, Fu Xu had a beggar captured and locked in the woodshed. There was something the beggar knew, but that beggar has yet to be released.”

A beggar?

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both suspected that this beggar was Wufu.

Something was wrong!

If Fu Xu had really captured Wufu and no one had deliberately lured them to find Fu Xu, then logically speaking, Wufu should not be here.

Their horses brought them here in a flash. Could it be that the horse that captured Wufu was faster than their horses?

Moreover, it had been quite a long time since Ni Dingyuan and the beggar were sent to the palace. They were captured on the same day… How did they get here so fast…

Even if Wufu was captured the night before they set off, he couldn’t arrive this early…

Considering this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan felt that the possibility of the beggar being Wufu was very small.

However, since something was not sitting right with him, he had to make things clear.

“Was he a beggar?” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

“We only heard about it through hearsay and gossip,” these people replied. “We didn’t see it with our own eyes, so we can’t be sure if he’s a beggar or not.”

“When exactly was the beggar taken?” Jiang Yue asked.

“March thirtieth.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.

Wufu was captured on the 29th day of March. Unless those who captured Wufu could fly or instantly arrive at the imperial city of Beicheng, that beggar could never be Wufu.

After asking a few more questions, seeing that there was nothing else to ask, Xue Yan dismissed the discussion.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Xue Yan lowered his voice and said to Jiang Yue, “Although the possibility is small, it is never zero. Such a long tunnel appeared out of thin air under Prince Weimins’s residence. That one didn’t make sense but it was there. I think it’s still possible that it could be Wufu. Perhaps someone has a special ability like you and can bring Wufu from Daling to this place very quickly.”

It would make sense if this beggar had been captured before the night of the 29th of March and brought to Prince Xu’s estate. It would have been earlier than when Wufu had disappeared, but this was later than when Wufu had disappeared.

“This also explains why they captured Wufu so quietly. No one in that camp noticed them. They all said they didn’t hear anything.” Xue Yan said.

Jiang Yue nodded in agreement. “Isn’t the beggar locked up in Prince Xu’s Mansion? We’ll go and take a look tonight.”

“Sure.” Xue Yan also nodded.

Jiang Yue continued, “According to what you said, the male consort in the palace might also be Wufu, right? After all, he and Ni Dingyuan were sent to Prince Xu’s estate on the same day.”
