Chapter 277 Finding out Zhu Qingwei
As the sky gradually darkened, large dark clouds appeared in the clear sky without us noticing.
It was going to rain soon, and there must be wild animals in the woods. She had to leave here quickly.
The second sister tried hard to identify and find traces of human footsteps in such a desolate forest. As long as she followed the traces, she would definitely find the normal path.
Perhaps because she was too flustered, the second sister lost her balance and rolled down the hillside...
Originally, the caracals were arranged by the Second Prince. After he found a way to separate the three Si sisters, the caracals would only attack Si Mutong. At the critical moment, he would come to the rescue, not afraid that Si Mutong would not be tempted.
By then, everything will fall into place. He will get Si Mutong and promise to treat her and her child well. Will he still be afraid that she will not be devoted to him?
But unexpectedly, a group of wild monkeys appeared out of nowhere and disrupted the Second Prince's plan. By the time he found out, the three girls from the Si family had disappeared.
After searching for a long time, they couldn't find it. The servant who was in charge of the caracal actually let it run away.
The second prince was so angry that he rushed over but there was no sign of Si Mutong.
The attendant asked cautiously, "Your Highness, are you still looking for the Second Young Lady?"
The Second Prince's eyes were heavy. He thought for a moment before saying, "Clean up this place. No one must know that I was the one who released the caracals."
"Yes."
The Second Prince took a deep breath. He liked Si Mutong and fell in love with her at first sight. But compared to her future, beauty was still a little lacking.
If he were to be discovered, the emperor would be furious and hold him accountable. He was already disliked by the emperor, so he couldn't cause any more trouble.
Thinking of this, the second prince quickly left the enclosure and pretended to be resting, as if nothing had happened.
When the imperial concubine called him over, he still looked sleepy.
The imperial concubine was furious: "Have you forgotten what I asked you to do? Have you contacted the eldest daughter of the Si family?"
"Mother, my son wanted to send her a maid who knows kung fu, but she was not willing to accept it."
"If you're not happy with it, you're just going to leave it alone? Do you know there's an accident in the paddock?"
The second prince was stunned. No way, his affair was discovered so quickly?
The imperial concubine didn't notice her son's anomaly and continued, "A group of monkeys ran into the enclosure and attacked the girls. The Si family girl doesn't know martial arts, so she was attacked. This is the best time, and you're still sleeping? The eldest girl is the first to return, frightened and worried about her two younger sisters. You should be comforting her now!"
The second prince finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the monkey's fault.
"Why are there monkeys?"
The imperial concubine glared at him and said, "Your father will investigate it himself. You don't need to worry about it. Do you know what the prince did?"
"what?"
"He saved Gui Shan, the eldest daughter of the Gui family! Your father has already promised to choose the eldest daughter of the Gui family as the Crown Prince's concubine in next year's election!"
When the imperial concubine talked about this, she became even more angry.
"Look at you. I asked you to marry a wife, but you didn't take it seriously. What about the concubine? Do you think Miss Gui is a vegetable in the field, and you can pick it however you want? Don't others take action?"
Hearing this, the Second Prince was also very upset. But he felt even more indignant. He had previously thought of marrying the eldest daughter of the Gui family as his principal wife, but how come she became a concubine to the Crown Prince?
Is it because he is not the legitimate son of the queen?
"Both daughters of the Gui family are good, but how can both daughters enter the imperial family?" The imperial concubine pondered. "But the ancestral rules are the ancestral rules, and there are exceptions. She is just a concubine... If there is another way..."
The Second Prince's eyes lit up. "Mother, do you have a way to make Miss Gui the Second my concubine?"
The imperial concubine glared at him and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Go find the eldest daughter of the Si family and spend more time with her and comfort her!"
The Second Prince came out obediently, but his thoughts were different. He didn't like Si Muyan, so comforting her was out of necessity, and accompanying her was out of necessity. He could only go and get some information.
After all, if Si Mutong has news, the Si family will definitely be the first to know.
The ladies were brought back one after another. Most of them were fine, not even aware of what had happened. Because most of the ladies who dared to enter the enclosure to hunt knew a little bit of horse riding and archery. Even if monkeys came, as long as there were not many of them, they could handle it.
In addition, most of them were in groups, with only a few girls who were alone and looked a little embarrassed.
But Si Xingzhi waited and waited, but his second sister never came back, and he was very worried.
The emperor was furious and ordered people to investigate carefully, and soon found out the specific situation.
These wild monkeys are also domesticated, but they are very naughty when they gather together, so they are not allowed into the enclosure easily. The reason why we went in today was because of the request of the daughter of the Zhu family.
The two middle-aged men who trained the monkeys were kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Your Majesty, I dare not disobey the orders of the nobles. That man gave me a lot of money and forced me to release the monkey into the enclosure."
"Your Excellency said it was just a scare tactic and nothing would happen, so we agreed. Furthermore, although our monkeys are naughty and might scratch people, they don't have the ability to attack or cause serious harm..."
The younger brother couldn't stand it any longer and shouted angrily, "Just because they won't hurt people seriously, can we just let them hurt people?"
The two men didn't dare to argue and just kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Naturally, he quickly gave away the young lady of the Zhu family.
Zhu Qingtang's eyes popped out in shock. What else was there to not understand? This was all done by her idiotic sister.
Wei Yuanbo nearly spat out a mouthful of blood and kicked his second daughter in the chest: "Did you do this? You did these things in my name?"
Zhu Qingwei was extremely frightened and cried out in defense, "Dad, Dad, daughter...daughter was just having fun, daughter didn't mean to hurt anyone..."
She had no choice but to admit it, but she really didn't expect it to become such a big deal.
I originally thought that it was just a lesson for the three girls from the Si family, so that they could go in well and come out in disgrace. But after being fooled by the monkey, they would become a laughing stock when the girls gathered together.
Indeed, Si Muyan and her younger sister came out in a very embarrassed state, and Zhu Qingwei achieved his goal.
But she never imagined that the second daughter of the Si family was missing and the enclosure was also damaged. The second daughter of the Si family might have run out of the enclosure in panic.
Zhu Qingwei shook his head desperately: "I really didn't mean to hurt anyone, I just... I just didn't get along with the Si family girls, so I wanted to embarrass them. Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Dad, I really didn't!"
However, no one believed her. How could the real culprit, the Second Prince, come out and confess his guilt?
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Take her away first. No one in the Zhu family is allowed to leave the house without my permission."
