Chapter 333: Ningcheng Xunxian Tower
After they left, Emperor Zhao summoned the secret guards and asked them about everything that had happened in the past few days.
After hearing the secret guard's words, Emperor Zhao lowered his eyes.
"Who poisoned them, and who found out?"
The secret guard said: "Prince Qiong, Prince Rui."
Emperor Zhao knocked on the dragon head on the armrest and asked, "Prince Hui Chengyuan of Anguo brought his wife and children to Ningcheng. Did they bring Xiaoliu back?"
"Yes, I have sent someone to investigate."
Emperor Zhao nodded and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the boss and Pei Jie."
"Yes." The secret guard took the order and retreated.
After hearing Hu Helan's crying complaint, Prime Minister's wife, Mrs. He, sent people to investigate the man who enjoyed doing good deeds.
In the end, none of the people sent out came back, and it’s obvious why.
When the prime minister came back from work, He immediately told him what happened.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Hu Li said, "This is the end of the matter. Forget about buying that house for Lan'er as a dowry. Get another house instead."
"As soon as they arrived, King Qiong came to visit in person. Although we don't know their identities, it shows that they are not simple."
"Also, tell Lan'er not to go out recently. Wait until I arrange for someone to check it out."
The people sent by the He family were basically servants in the mansion with limited abilities, so the people he sent out were naturally different.
As for why he knew that King Qiong had been there, this was the information passed on to him by his people.
After thinking about it, He went to find Hu Helan and detained her at home, not allowing her to go anywhere.
Hu Helan was naturally unwilling to do so. No matter how powerful an outsider was, he could never be more powerful than his own father.
What's more, her sister is Princess Rui.
Yuanman was coaxing Tangtang and Tingting to sleep, and was just about to go out to Xunxian Tower in Zhao State when Yuanbao came to find him.
"Mom, why hasn't Uncle Yanbei come back yet?"
Yuan Man picked him up and said, "Yan Bei has gone back to his home, but if Yuan Bao misses Uncle Yan Bei, I will take you to see him tomorrow, okay?"
Yan Bei has already moved into Prince Qiong's Mansion, so it is convenient for them to visit.
Yuanbao nodded happily, "Okay, let's go now."
Yuan Man pointed at the lantern and said, "What time is it now? It's not suitable to go so late."
"Be good, we'll go again tomorrow."
Yuanbao looked at the sky which was already half dark, pouted and nodded.
"Mom, wherever you want to go, I want to go too."
Yuan Man thought for a moment, put him down and said, "Go and call your uncle Jinnan, I will bring the others along."
"Where are you going?" Hui Chengyuan, who came out to get some fresh air, asked.
Yuan Man looked at him and asked, "You don't draw maps anymore?"
"Your eyes are tired, come out and get some fresh air." Hui Chengyuan stepped forward and straightened her clothes which were messed up because of holding Yuanbao.
"You haven't told me yet, where are you going?"
Yuan Man lowered his head and looked around and said, "Let's go to Xunxian Tower. Do you want to go with us?"
Hui Chengyuan's hand paused, "Xunxian Tower?"
"Yes, take a look at the difference between the Xunxian Tower here and the one in Anguo, and just collect some silver from there." After Yuan Man said this, Hui Chengyuan remembered that the Xunxian Tower was also her property.
"I'll go with you. There's no rush for the map."
A group of people came to the Xunxian Tower in a carriage. At this time, the lights were just coming on, but there was a constant stream of people entering the door of Xunxian Tower. When Yuanman and his friends arrived, the carriage had to queue up to move past.
Finally, Yuan Man got off the carriage on a street one mile away from Xunxian Tower, and the group walked there.
"I didn't expect that the night here is more lively than the day. There are so many people!" Yuan Man looked around as he walked.
Hui Chengyuan held Yuanbao with one hand and pulled her with the other, and also had to make sure Jinnan didn't get squeezed away.
"It seems that tomorrow is the Zhao State's Qiming Festival."
Yuanman bought three candied haws and handed them to the two children. He then gave one to Hui Chengyuan and slowly started to eat it himself.
"Qi Ming Festival, pray for good weather and good harvests next year?"
"That's about what I mean." Seeing Yuan Yi protecting Jin Nan, Hui Chengyuan stopped paying attention to him and carefully held his wife and children.
They slowly followed the crowd and finally arrived in front of the Xunxian Tower, but were told that the building had reached saturation and they could not enter for the time being.
Yuan Man's mouth twitched, and he looked up at the number of floors of the Xunxian Tower. Good, there were also five floors, so the fifth floor must be empty.
"Go tell Hele that Yuanman is here."
The gatekeeper looked at her, then looked at Hui Chengyuan, then nodded and prepared to go in to report.
But when he turned around, he saw their Master Hele hurriedly walking out.
Hele bowed to Yuanman and made a gesture of invitation, "Please come in."
Yuanman nodded, and walked towards the house taking Yuanbao and Jinnan by the hand.
Hui Chengyuan glanced at Hele before following him.
As soon as they entered, many people were unhappy and asked, "Why can they enter but I can't?"
He Le smiled and said, "Because they are our distinguished guests of Xunxian Tower. Do you think the people I personally welcome are comparable to you?"
Yuan Man looked at the Xunxian Tower, which seemed more luxurious than those in Dongzhou and Xizhou, and had more facilities.
I went up to the fifth floor and sat down in front of the window.
Looking down from here, you can see the entire Xunxian Tower.
Yuan Man looked at it for a while, then turned to Jin Nan and Yuan Bao and said, "If you want to go play, go ahead."
Jinnan looked down and said, "This seems to be a place for adults to play."
He Le, who came up later, smiled and said, "There are also things that children like. Can I ask someone to take you there to play?"
Jinnan looked at Yuanbao, and seeing that he was interested, he agreed.
"Okay, please."
"No trouble, please come this way." He Le led them out of the study with a smile.
He summoned a special servant and said, "Serve carefully and I will respond to your requests."
"Yes." The waiter took them to the children's play area.
Hele took some snacks and returned to the front room, then bowed deeply to Yuanman, "Master."
Yuan Man raised his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, just be casual."
"I just came to see you when I have nothing to do. You go ahead and do your thing. We can talk about other things later."
He Le stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, Master, please do as you please. If I see anything wrong, please give me some advice."
Yuan Man nodded, and after He Le left, he stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Hui Chengyuan had been standing at the window looking downstairs when he suddenly said, "Prince Heng and Prince Jin are here."
Yuan Man immediately walked up to him and looked down, "Which one is it? Do you know them?"
Hui Chengyuan pointed at Prince Heng and said, "The one wearing purple is Prince Heng, and the one wearing blue is Prince Jin."
"Prince Heng is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has all the advantages. Unfortunately, he has never been able to gain power in front of Emperor Zhao."
"Prince Jin is the third prince, his mother is Concubine Li, he was born in the House of the Earl of Zhongjing, he has no power, so he has always followed Prince Heng."
Yuan Man looked at the two men and said, "Logically, if Emperor Zhao wants to appoint a crown prince, Prince Heng has the best chance, as he is both the eldest and the heir."
"Unless he really has no talent to be crown prince and makes a big mistake, he is definitely crown prince."
