Marry a Duke

Chapter 232 Returning to Beijing

"Sister, I'll take you back first, and I'll investigate the rest." Yuchi Mingxiu was worried about leaving Fu Ran here. It would be dangerous if he was discovered by the Duke of England's people.

Fu Ran shook his head and lowered his voice, "Let's be careful and not alarm them."

Yuchi Mingxiu had no choice but to protect her carefully.

The Duke of England had fallen out with the eldest princess a long time ago. Before she left, the Duke of England spent less than half of his time in the capital throughout the year.

No one dared to enter the Duke of England's Mansion in the Princess's Mansion, so the Princess and her men put a seal on the Duke of England's door.

Just because of this, the Duke of England did not dare to protest to the Emperor again.

After all, he dared to keep a mistress, and the princess did him a favor by not directly wiping out the Duke of Ying's family.

What the Duke of England was discussing with others was related to Wei Xuan's visit.

The salt inspector Chi Yangjin was kidnapped by the princess's men. It seems that the princess has also interfered in the salt affairs.

Is it possible that the Princess's Mansion is so luxurious that it is beyond imagination?

They didn't dare to stay any longer. If they were discovered, they would be killed by the other party.

After leaving the brothel, Fu Ran no longer felt like going shopping.

He and Yuchi Mingxiu hurried back to the villa.

If even the princess gets involved in this matter, it won't just be the assassination of Wei Xuan, they will also be causing more trouble.

The eldest princess would not let Wei Xuan find out the truth.

That night, Wei Xuan came back.

He looked sick, and when he came back after a day out, his eyes looked tired.

Being able to hold on for this long is already his limit.

But he looks better than ordinary people.

"Are you okay? You've been moving around everywhere. I wonder if the poison in your body can't be suppressed." Once the poison takes effect, Doctor Hua won't be able to rush back with the antidote, and Wei Xuan will not have much time left.

"Don't worry, it's fine for now." He comforted her, "I heard you bought a lot of things today. Did you buy any for me?"

give him?

of course not.

I didn't even think about him.

"Wei Xiuning, I went out shopping today and met the Duke of England." She said bluntly.

Wei Xuan's expression changed slightly.

"Where did you see him?"

"First in the teahouse, then in the brothel. Mingxiu and I heard some news in secret. Is the Duke of Yingguo in cahoots with the Princess? Isn't he in cahoots with you?"

Wei Xuan laughed when he heard that.

"No one will always be in the same group with anyone else. The Duke of England did want to rebel against the Princess, but he was held hostage by the Princess. I know about him."

So, he was not surprised.

For the sake of himself and his only surviving son, the Duke of England had to obey the eldest princess.

Otherwise, the only remaining son would be lost.

He hated the eldest princess, but had to submit to her. For the sake of Princess Ruhui, the eldest princess was willing to let the Duke of England continue to live, but she would not let him live too happily.

"Then - they arrested the salt inspector, so Lord Chi came to the mansion to investigate them. Is there any clue now?"

"Chi Yang has been rescued. He was tortured and is still weak. He needs to recover. I have arranged for someone to investigate the rest."

"So, how long are we going to stay here?"

"I'm afraid the originally expected seven days will not be enough. We will investigate this matter thoroughly within a month."

Wei Xuan did not say it clearly.

This line is very long and involves a wide range of areas.

Fu Ran didn't interfere with his business. He was going to stay for a month, so she looked for good things in Lin Mansion. This time she was not buying for herself and her friends.

They buy in bulk and bring back to the capital to sell.

Yuchi Mingxiu looked very anxious.

"Sister, are you really short of money?" The Yuchi family is not short of money. The Yuchi family has many businesses in Xuzhou. They can give her whatever she wants. "I will give you whatever amount of money you want in the future."

Fu Ran shook his head.

"You don't understand. Money is only earned by yourself. You can feel at ease when you hold it in your hands. Others' money belongs to others after all."

"I am not someone else--." Yuchi Mingxiu was withdrawn again, "I am your brother, and the Yuchi family is your home."

Fu Ran paused for a moment.

This person seems to be very obsessed with this.

She changed her statement.

"Actually, I just want to give it a try. I've never tried it before. I heard that merchants always ship southern goods to the north and northern goods to the south. This way they can sell them at a high price. I want to give it a try, too."

Yuchi Mingxiu thought of her opening a shop and selling breakfast herself. Perhaps, she is indeed obsessed with running her own business now.

"You can try it if you want, but don't feel pressured. You can tell me anything you need." He has money, really does.

Is it possible that Chen Yuanhou Mansion is without money?

The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion cannot afford to support her, but the Marquis of Chenyuan's Mansion can.

"Okay, I will definitely tell you." Fu Ran said bluntly.

She doesn't go out every day, and neither does Wei Xuan.

Since his accident, more people have been around him.

Jin Zhao also came, and there were other secret guards she had never seen before.

The evidence was presented to him one by one.

I heard that officials were thrown into jail one after another.

The Duke of England is missing.

Fu Ran was a little suspicious whether Wei Xuan had locked up the Duke of England.

Or--

The eldest princess blamed the Duke of England for his poor performance and killed him secretly.

During this month, the villa suffered two sneak attacks.

All at night.

Fortunately, the scale of these two times was far smaller than the last time. Although there were more people, their skills were not as good as last time.

Wei Xuan didn't have to do it himself, Gao Mian and the other secret guards took care of the person.

Wave after wave of killers fell at Wei Xuan's hands.

I'm sure the eldest princess, who is far away in the capital, would be so angry that she would curse loudly.

A month later, the evidence was in hand, and the disaster fell on the Duke of England.

The eldest princess asked the Duke of England to come here, and his primary task was to kill people and silence them.

After discovering that Wei Xuan could not be destroyed, the Duke of Yingguo took the blame.

It was he who had Chi Yang imprisoned, and he was also the one who arranged for those who sold salt privately. This is a capital crime.

They were about to return to Beijing, and along with the British official, there were more than ten other accomplices.

All of them will be brought back to the capital to be decided by the Emperor.

Because there were prisoners on the road, Wei Xuan was poisoned, and there were also women and children, the journey was not fast.

After walking for more than ten days, the imperial court sent people to pick them up.

The prisoners followed the people sent by the court, while Wei Xuan and his entourage returned to the capital slowly. There was no need to rush. The emperor knew that Wei Xuan was poisoned and had already sent an imperial physician.

The imperial physician was also helpless after examining the patient.

"It's a miracle that Duke Weiguo can live until now." The imperial physician marveled at this. This poison is really difficult to cure and is extremely vicious.

It is simply unbelievable that Duke Wei has been poisoned for more than a month.

"Does the imperial physician really have no solution? Isn't there a medicine that can cure all poisons?" Fu Ran asked.

The imperial physician thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It can only cure ordinary poisons, but it can never cure this kind of poison."

"After we return to the capital, we will work with the Imperial Hospital staff to treat the Duke."
