Chapter 461…
So when Qiao Wenjin sent people to kill the mother and son, they found that the guards who were guarding them had been killed and the mother and son were nowhere to be found.
Prince Qiao was furious about this and slapped Qiao Wenjin on the spot, blaming him for being too soft-hearted and letting that evil child live, leaving such a huge hidden danger to the palace. He scolded him for being more of a hindrance than a help.
Qiao Wenjin knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say a word, but he was terrified inside. Someone kidnapped the mother and son before he could take action, which clearly showed that they were prepared!
Thinking of this, Qiao Wenjin felt a chill down her spine, and couldn't even imagine the predicament the child would face after his identity was exposed.
After a fit of rage, King Qiao sent more people to investigate and ordered that anyone found should be killed without mercy.
Neither the father nor the son wanted Jin Xuhua to know about this, but the truth could not be hidden. Jin Xuhua had spies around them, and Jin Xuhua found out not long after they discussed killing the mother and son.
Jin Xuhua didn't expect Qiao Wenjin to be so blinded by lust that she lied to him and said that everything had been dealt with, but she secretly hid the person and kept him as a toy. It would have been fine for her to hide him, but she couldn't hide it and caused him such a big trouble!
He was really blind, that's why he thought Qiao Wenjin was the best puppet!
Jin Xuhua's heart was burning with anger, and he wished he could capture Qiao Wenjin and hack her to death!
What does this mean? It means that someone has long known that the Qiao Wang father and son are lying. As long as this child with their blood is exposed, these two people will definitely not be well, and they are also at risk of being exposed!
"This damn bastard!"
Jin Xuhua cursed loudly, losing the Shen and Liu families was already a heavy loss, but this stupid teammate made a brilliant move and almost made him capsize in the ditch, how could he not be angry!
Looking at the man with a ferocious and irritable face, the leader of Xuanyue State had an equally cold gaze. He sneered, "Is this what you said, there is only one other candidate besides the eldest prince?"
Jin Xuhua swept his resentful eyes across and said in a low voice: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
The leader of Xuanyue Country sat casually, not affected by his anger at all, and only said: "Then what do you think should be done? Also, who would have kidnapped the child? If he only went after Qiao Wenjin, it would be fine, but if he came after us, it would be a different story."
Jin Xuhua's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes and thought about it. He felt that the latter was unlikely, so he said: "Find someone first, find the person out, if it doesn't work, sacrifice the pawn to save the king, and let King Qiao clean up the matter."
The leader of Xuanyue Nation raised his eyebrows, looked at him and said, "Are you willing to do so?"
Jin Xuhua was very cold, "Why would you be reluctant to give it up? It's just a useless chess piece, so you should discard it when you should. Do you think you should keep it as an obstacle?"
The leader of Xuanyue Nation: "As long as you can convince that old man, that'll be all."
Jin Xuhua sneered and said, "Why should I say anything? That old guy is a ruthless person who knows how to judge the situation. I used to think he was too old and that young people could withstand more hardships. But now it seems that being a little older doesn't matter."
On one side is supreme power, and on the other side is a son with corrupt morals who is likely to drag him down. If he really has to make a choice, he believes that the old man will choose the former without hesitation.
As a result, a new force appeared in the capital city, searching for the whereabouts of the mother and son.
However, the mother and son seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and the search was fruitless.
Therefore, during this period of time, Qiao Wenjin had a very bad life. He was trembling with fear every day, always worrying that the person who kidnapped the child would suddenly jump out and give him a fatal blow.
The longer there is no news, the more I want to get it, but I am also afraid to hear it.
Qiao Wenjin was confused and uneasy, especially when he found that his father's attitude towards him was becoming increasingly cold and indifferent, as if he was distancing himself from him. His heart sank to the bottom.
Jin Xuhua understood Prince Qiao's character, and Qiao Wenjin also knew his father's character well.
He was only favored because his mother's family was powerful, but no matter how much he was favored, he was not as important as himself. If the day ever came when the truth came to light, he thought his father would not hesitate to put all the blame on him and distance himself from the matter, which would even implicate his mother.
Since his father might not be reliable, and Jin was profit-oriented and would not do anything without profit, he could only rely on his mother and the evidence in his own hands.
Qiao Wenjin hurried to see Princess Qiao. Princess Qiao was not blind. After being married for decades, she had long noticed that Prince Qiao was distancing himself from his son, but she did not know the specific reason. Now that her son came to her, she learned the truth.
Princess Qiao was angry and disappointed with her son for being deceived by a foxy woman and getting into his current predicament. However, she also knew that her son was her support. If his deeds were exposed, she, as his biological mother, would also be to blame.
"Mother, I am a failure. I know I was wrong. Mother, please help me."
Qiao Wenjin knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"Ah." Princess Qiao looked at him and sighed. Knowing that there was no way out, she said accusingly, "You did make a mistake in this matter."
Then he added: "Think carefully, who would know about you?"
Qiao Wenjin frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out who did it."
Princess Qiao looked down at him, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she asked, "Could it be the remnants of the Hua family who did this?"
"The remnants of the Hua family?"
Qiao Wenjin suddenly looked up, his eyes slightly widened, as if he suddenly realized something.
Yes, they were certain that Hua Chaoxue would not survive, but they could not conclude that he had no backup plan. When they used his family as bait, there were indeed a few fish caught, but after interrogation, it was found that these people did not know anything about their affairs.
Seeing his reaction, Princess Qiao sighed again and said, "I will ask someone to go to the Hua family to check. People who have a good relationship with the Hua family cannot be missed. As for you, you can't be careless. If you can't find anyone, the forces of the Qiao Palace may be reluctant to give up, but you may not be."
Qiao Wenjin nodded. It was precisely because he knew the answer clearly that he came to seek her protection.
"My child understands."
Princess Qiao also nodded, "Then I will let Commander Wu Chan follow you first, and bring a few more warriors with you, just in case."
Qiao Wenjin was delighted and gratefully grasped Princess Xian's hand, saying, "Thank you, mother. You are the best."
Just when they were suspicious of each other, afraid that the truth would be exposed, and were investigating whether there were any escaped members of the Hua family, bad news came from Prince Xian's mansion first - Prince Xian's wife had passed away, and Prince Xian was so heartbroken that he fainted due to inability to accept it.
The old emperor was very happy about this.
The old emperor had always suspected whether Qiao Ruicheng had ulterior motives and whether he was plotting something with Liu Qiuwu. Although he did not find any clues after a thorough investigation, he was still worried, so he found an excuse to stop supplying him with the miraculous tonic pills. Now that he has fallen down on his own, it has saved him a lot of trouble and he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
The story of Princess Xian and Prince Xian soon spread in the streets and alleys, which made people sigh and regret. They thought that the wedding would work, but the person was still gone, and Prince Xian fell into a coma and might never wake up again.
Of course, some people applauded.
