Chapter 1951: Chapter 1889: There Aren’t That Many Coincidences

Ah Jiu rushed to the vicinity of the Imperial Jue Temple, where the road leading to the temple was filled with refugees. As far as the eye could see, half of the Imperial Jue Temple had collapsed, with billowing smoke and dust, causing his heart to sink.

"Your Highness." A guard stopped in front of Ah Jiu and reported, "There is no sign of the Princess Consort."

Ah Jiu felt a chill in his heart.

"Go and search." He ordered coldly.

"Yes."

Just as a few subordinates were about to leave, Yuan Ye, with sharp eyes, saw a carriage approaching and exclaimed with delight, "Your Highness, it’s Chi Liu."

Ah Jiu followed his finger and indeed saw that Chi Liu was sitting on the shafts of the plain carriage, driving it, while Xiao Qi was sitting beside him. He immediately urged his horse forward.

Chi Liu also saw Ah Jiu and his group, and reined in the horse to stop the carriage, slightly turned his head to mouth something to the interior of the carriage, then jumped down from the shafts to stand by the carriage.

"Your Highness." Chi Liu and Xiao Qi greeted simultaneously.

Ah Jiu nodded, and came to the back of the carriage, coughing heavily with a cold face.

He was very angry, and this time he would not let her off easily.

The curtain was lifted, revealing Wufu’s face, smiling ingratiatingly at him while waving her hand, "Hi."

Ah Jiu snorted coldly, finally feeling the weight lifted from his heart, and his worries disappeared upon seeing her charming smile.

This troublemaker!

Though still angry, Ah Jiu knew now was not the time for reckoning, so he said, "I’ll deal with you when we get back! Guards, escort the Princess Consort back to the manor."

"Wait a minute." Wufu jumped down and said to Ah Jiu, "Are you going to handle the affairs at Imperial Jue Temple?"

Ah Jiu’s face returned to calm, as he glanced towards the direction of the Imperial Jue Temple, from which smoke and dust faintly emanated.

Wufu took his hand and walked to the front of the carriage, "Look."

Ah Jiu looked inside, and saw a man lying bound hand and foot inside the carriage, while a little boy was sleeping soundly. But his small face bore several scars and was streaked with undried tears, his brows furrowed in discomfort, fists clenched as if restless in sleep.

Isn’t that Mingdong?

And who is this man?

Ah Jiu turned to Wufu, waiting for her explanation.

Wufu, with a serious face, said, "This matter is not simple, the people behind it are not just targeting the Emperor, but are slaughtering the Royal Family."

With a few brief sentences, she recounted what she had seen and heard.

Ah Jiu’s face changed dramatically; were several children dead?

"I’m not sure about the others, I just happened to run into him." Wufu looked at the Little Prince with eyes full of pity.

Having experienced such a tragedy at a tender age, he must receive proper psychological guidance, or today’s events could cast a shadow on his heart.

"And this man..." Ah Jiu clenched his fist, pointing at the unconscious man.

Wufu sneered, "This is the man I encountered at the Longevity Festival."

"What?"

"Can you believe his presence here is a coincidence?" Wufu looked at Ah Jiu.

What nonsense coincidence? The man who plotted against Wufu during the Longevity Festival appearing here amidst such a calamity, is it really a coincidence?

Moreover, the plan at the Longevity Festival was orchestrated by the Empress, and this man was involved in both events!

Unless he came here to take advantage of the chaos, he is definitely linked to the Imperial Jue Temple affair!

Ah Jiu, with a cold and stern expression, instructed Yuan Ye, "Get some men, take him to the Heavenly Prison, but don’t let him die!"

If his mouth is pried open, it might be the key to the Imperial Jue Temple event!

A sound of urgent horse hooves approached, and a guard rode up to Ah Jiu, kneeling on one knee, "The Empress Dowager urgently summons Your Highness to the palace!"
