Chapter 704;

Seeing their reluctance, Lu Yaoyao also nodded. It is true that the capital will not be peaceful for a while.

Especially after she went, thinking about how Emperor Hongwen knew that Prince Li would run away without anyone noticing under his strict defense like this, what a slap in the face.

If you think about it, you will be furious. In the ancient imperial power, if you don't pay attention, you may lose your life.

Not long after, she took a carriage to the capital.

At this time, the four gates of the capital city were tightly sealed, and anyone who wanted to enter or exit the city gate had to undergo strict interrogation.

But she was a little different. The captain of the city gate saw her carriage from a distance, saw the logo of Wanfu County Lord hanging on the carriage, and trotted to the front in a hurry.

"At the end, I will meet Princess Wanfu."

"The general is exempt."

Lu Yaoyao's voice came from inside the carriage, and then she said: "I want to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, I wonder if the general can make it easier for me?"

"Naturally, please, the princess."

Is there any need to say this?

Who is the owner of Wanfu County?That is the character of Sheng Chong Wushuang, if she wants to enter the palace, who of them would dare to stop her?

And it won't stop her, after all, this princess, in the boundary of the capital, is a character that everyone gives a thumbs up to.

It's not because of her noble status and unparalleled grace, but because of her virtue in life and work.

People in other places may not know it, but people in this part of the capital know very well what kind of place Chengyuan Villa is.

The attitude of Princess Wanfu towards those people in the villa has long been spread in the capital.

Moreover, in the commercial street of the villa, there has never been a bullying person under the master of Wanfu County. On the contrary, if someone encounters difficulties, the people of the villa will generously help them.

"Thank you."

Soon, the carriage passed a group of people in line and drove towards the city.

"Who is this person? Why is it put in like this? Don't you have to interrogate him?"

Those who lined up on the road were a little surprised, and of course they were a little bit aggrieved.

After all, in the past few days, I have heard that no matter who wants to enter the capital, they will have to be interrogated, and even the eighteenth generation of ancestors will have to be interrogated.

Now that someone who doesn't need to be interrogated suddenly pops up, these people feel a little unbalanced in their hearts.

"Interrogation? Didn't you see the sign on the carriage?"

"That's the carriage of the Wanfu princess of the dynasty. You don't know who the Wanfu princess is, do you?"

When the people around heard that this was Princess Wanfu's carriage, they were all surprised.

The person who was still a little bit upset before heard that this was Princess Wanfu's carriage, and the anger on his face dissipated.

"It turned out to be her. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet the princess of Wanfu County today."

The carriage quickly entered the capital, and then went straight to the imperial city.

The guards of the imperial city also saw the carriage of Princess Wanfu from a distance, and the young general in charge hurried forward to salute.

The carriage entered the imperial city smoothly, and someone had already reported to Emperor Hongwen.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen's face was very ugly. It has been more than half a day, and there is still no news at all.

Such efficiency made him very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wanfu has entered the palace."

"Ok?"

Emperor Hongwen raised his head and glanced at Wang De, his originally ugly face softened slightly.

"Let her come in directly, you go prepare some fruit and send it over."

Wang De nodded, and Princess Wanfu arrived at the door of the imperial study not long after, and Wang De, who was guarding outside, stepped forward to salute.

"Princess, the emperor let you go in directly."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."

In the imperial study room, the moment Emperor Hongwen saw Lu Yaoyao, a smile appeared on his face.

This was his first smile today.

"My daughter."

"Okay, no need to salute, come and sit down."

"It's such a hot day, why did you come to the palace?"

Emperor Hongwen waved with a smile, but at the same time he couldn't help being curious.

His girl is a master who doesn't like to run around, and spends almost all her normal time in her villa. Even though it is not far from the capital, the number of times she can take the initiative to come to the capital this year is pitifully small.

Most of the time, he was the one who asked someone to call, or he was invited to a banquet by a good friend.

"I heard a piece of news by chance and came here to report to His Majesty."

She didn't intend to make any detours, but directly explained her intentions.

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with an uneasy expression, "You also know about the disappearance of Prince Li's family?"

"Now the capital is full of uproar, and there are many people talking about it in the courtier's daughter's villa, so I naturally know."

In the commercial street of Chengyuan Villa, there are many businessmen and some traffickers in the capital every day. Any news in this kind of place will spread very quickly.

"I don't know where this old thing is hiding in the capital, and I haven't found any clues yet."

"There is no clue, has the emperor ever thought that they are no longer in the capital?"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Hongwen shook his head and denied them almost immediately.

"Impossible. My people said that they disappeared last night. At that time, the four gates had been closed long ago. I have also investigated it. The four gates were not opened last night. They must still be in the city."

"To say leave, unless they grow wings."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but smile in her heart, didn't she think so at first?
"I don't know if I have wings or not, but I can be sure if there are any servants who have escaped."

As soon as she said this, Emperor Hongwen was stunned and didn't react for a while.

It was Wang De who was at the side who reacted quickly, and asked in surprise; "The princess means that Prince Li's family escaped from the capital through a secret passage?"

At this time, Emperor Hongwen also came to his senses, stood up, stared at Lu Yaoyao, and asked, "Where did this news come from?"

"It's also a coincidence. There is a commercial street on the mountain villa of the minister, and there are many businessmen and guests on weekdays."

"It's no longer a hawker on the outskirts of Dongcheng, but I will go to my villa every day to do some small business."

"Just last night, when he got up in the middle of the night to prepare to sell the goods today, he heard movement outside."

She recounted what she heard from Hou Si, but there were some changes.

"The peddler used to run a small tea shop on the outskirts of Dongcheng, and was fortunate enough to meet the eldest grandson of Prince Li a few times, so he recognized him right away."

"I went to the villa today and heard about the disappearance of Prince Li's family, so I told you what I saw last night."

"After the courtier knew about it, she asked someone to go to the east city to check. In a very hidden place, a lot of traces were found, and then a secret passage was discovered."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen believed it.

"Come on."

"His Majesty."

A guard in front of the palace hurried in and cupped his hands.

"Quickly take people to the outskirts of Dongcheng"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Lu Yaoyao, and saw Lu Yaoyao said, "This general will look for my coachman after leaving the palace, and he will naturally take you there."

Emperor Hongwen then said, "When you get to that place, dig three feet into the ground to see if there is a secret passage, and then go in along the secret passage to see where it leads."
