Chapter 987 Lotus Alley Outer Room Residence
The black-clad guard knew that Zhang Jinyan, the former vice minister in the imperial prison, was his father-in-law until yesterday.
The women in the Shuntian Prefecture prison were, just the day before, the princess, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law of their own prince!
As a result, after the prince so decisively issued a letter of divorce, neither the one in the imperial prison nor the others in the Shuntian Prefecture prison... they were nothing anymore!
Not only are they nothing anymore, but now they've even lost their lives!
These guards had even huddled together in private, whispering among themselves, saying how ruthless and heartless the prince was!
But looking at it now... what kind of expression is that, Your Highness?!
Weren't those people ordered to be killed by the prince?
Now that they are all dead, shouldn't Your Highness feel relieved?
Why does it look like your parents have died?
The black-clad guard muttered to himself, but he still had to report what needed to be reported.
"Your Highness, the Vice Minister, Madam Wang, and... uh... and the two young ladies of the Vice Minister's residence, they have all... have all... passed away!"
The guard in black almost blurted out "Princess Consort" out of habit, but realizing it, he quickly corrected himself, saying "the two young ladies of the Second Assistant Minister's residence."
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Jingyi stood there stunned for a long time, then his legs went weak and he slumped back into his chair.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a metallic taste rise in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Your Highness!"
Your Highness... Your Highness, please take care!
Your Majesty..."
"Quickly, call the imperial physician... call the imperial physician!"
Your Majesty..."
Jiang Ping and Tong Lian called out repeatedly...
Our lord is clearly in a state of extreme anxiety!
In an instant, chaos erupted in the study of Prince Yi's mansion.
The Prince Yi's mansion was in chaos, but the streets were eerily quiet.
Xiao Jingyu, with Leng Rongyue by his side, sometimes hid in the shadows of the streets and alleys, and sometimes simply darted across rooftops, quietly following the two beasts from the East.
After leaving Qin Lu's house, those two bastards from the East went straight to Lotus Lane, which wasn't too far from Qin's house.
Those beasts from East Venezuela are truly beasts; they have absolutely no sense of propriety whatsoever!
If I feel unwell in my stomach, I immediately pull down my pants, squat down against the wall, and relieve myself on the spot.
Xiao Jingyu was disgusted by the sight and cursed inwardly, "What a beast!" He then pulled Leng Rongyue away to keep his distance.
Looking at the narrow alley in front of her, Leng Rongyue quietly asked Xiao Jingyi, "This alley is so narrow, and all the houses are small and humble. Which official lives here?"
Upon hearing Leng Rongyue's question, Xiao Jingyu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This is not an official's proper residence."
Xia Qinian, the Vice Minister of Rites, secretly kept a mistress who lived in the small courtyard in front.
Leng Rongyue nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "This Xia Qi didn't come home on New Year's Eve and stayed in the outer room all night. Doesn't his wife at home do anything about it?"
Hearing the little gossip that Leng Rongyue couldn't hide in her words, Xiao Jingyu suppressed a laugh and explained, "Xia Qinian's wife has passed away. He has announced to the public that he will remain faithful to his wife for three years and will not remarry!"
Leng Rongyue raised an eyebrow and pointed to the small courtyard not far ahead, "This...this mistress...is the one he kept for three years for his wife...that's where he got her?"
"More than that!"
Xiao Jingyu looked contemptuous. "Not counting his mistress, he also keeps several concubines in his household!"
What's there to guard? It's just a saying!
To be honest, Xia Qinian was a diligent and conscientious official in previous years.
But in the last three or four years, he suddenly became close to Xiao Jingyi...
One of his concubines was originally the most sought-after courtesan at the Wan Hua Lou brothel. Xiao Jingyi spent a fortune to redeem her and gave her to him!
"Oh, no wonder!"
Since we're already in the water, let's all get wet together!
Leng Rongyue nodded knowingly.
"Moon, that pig-headed guy climbed over the wall and went in! Let's go!"
Xiao Jingyu, who had been staring in that direction, suddenly spoke up.
Now only that skinny Eastern Wei beast remains in the shadows outside the courtyard, keeping watch.
Xiao Jingyu, holding Leng Rongyue's hand, did not go directly to the courtyard, but instead entered a small alley next to it and turned into the back alley.
This courtyard is a rather exquisite two-section courtyard, and there is even a small garden at the back.
The courtyard, which was originally pitch black, now has lights on in the main room.
After confirming that no one was on duty in the courtyard, Xiao Jingyu, with Leng Rongyue in his arms, went up to the roof with practiced ease, squatted down, and lifted the tiles. The whole set of movements was smooth and seamless!
At this moment, two men were standing face to face in the room. One was the pig-headed Dongwei, and the other was Xia Qinian, the Vice Minister of Rites, who had a fair complexion and a slight beard and looked like a scholar.
Xia Qinian must have just been startled awake from his sleep; his hair was a little messy, and he was wearing a gray robe draped askew over his nightgown.
It was obvious that Xia Qinian did not know this Dongwei pig-head.
Because of the knife in Dongwei Pig Head's hand, Xia Qinian asked Dongwei Pig Head with a wary expression.
“Who are you?
Why did you break into my house in the middle of the night?
Dongwei Pighead calmly sheathed his knife and walked to sit on the armchair in front of him.
Not only that, it took the initiative and extended its hand to invite, "Please sit down, Your Excellency! Let's sit down and talk!"
Xia Qinian didn't sit down, but just stared straight at the Dongwei pig's head in front of him.
