Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 366 Injured
Faced with this complicated situation, Yun Hao felt unprecedented pressure. Pian Wucheng came in and brought another piece of news.

"Sir, Prince Rong has been leaving the palace frequently these days and has been to a villa on the outskirts of the city. I sent someone to follow him secretly and found that the villa is a secret residence of Prince Rong."

Yun Hao nodded slightly, with a gleam in his eyes. He had long expected that Prince Rong would have some unknown secrets.

This secret residence must be where Prince Rong hides important items or conspires with others.

"Keep keeping a close eye on who goes in and out of that villa." Yun Hao ordered.

"Yes, sir." Wu Cheng responded and stepped back.

Then Xu Mao also brought back the news, "My lord, Prince Rong is very cunning. He has no property under his name. All the properties are under the names of the princess and the crown prince's wife. Here is the list."

Yun Hao picked up the list and found that Prince Rong's businesses were all over the capital, involving money houses, silk shops, restaurants, brothels, and pleasure boats. "He is quite good at making money."

Just as he sorted out the evidence on hand and prepared to present it to the emperor, Luo Hai brought new news, "Sir, I found that Princess Rong was in close contact with a monk. The monk often went in and out of Prince Rong's mansion, and his behavior was strange."

"Monk?" Yun Hao raised his eyebrows. Why did he bring up someone from outside the world? "Go check the monk's background and see what his relationship is with Prince Rong."

"Yes, sir." Wu Cheng responded and left.

Before the matter was over, another subordinate came in and said, "Sir, Jiao Xiao went to the cosmetics shop and had a pleasant conversation with a woman. After asking around, I learned that the woman was the concubine of Ying Cheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War."

There must be a reason why concubines from decent families and prostitutes from brothels get along so well with each other.

Jiao Xiao is a spy from the Northern Di people, could this concubine be one too?

Does Ying Cheng know about this?

"Investigate." Yun Hao ordered.

"And sir, I have found out that the recent rumors about Prince Zuo came from the House of the Earl of Zhongqin."

"Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion?" Yun Hao sneered. Whenever a dynasty was about to change, all kinds of monsters would come out. "Don't pay too much attention to it. Just have someone keep a close eye on it. As for Prince Zuo, if he has the ability, he will find out the truth."

Yun Hao did not intend to intervene too much. After all, he did not have a deep friendship with Prince Zuo.

After his men took orders and left, Yun Hao was alone in deep thought.

He felt more and more that there must be a bigger black hand behind this series of events. Prince Rong might just be a pawn, and the real mastermind behind the scenes has not yet surfaced.

There is currently a lack of clear clues and evidence to reveal the truth behind all this.

"Sir, it's bad, the lady is injured."

The anxious voice of his subordinates woke Yun Hao from his deep thoughts instantly, and his brows were furrowed. "How did she get injured? How serious is her injury? Where is she now? Has the doctor examined her?"

The subordinate was a little confused by this series of questions. Before he could open his mouth, Yun Hao had already stood up and walked quickly out.

"Sir, sir, the lady was just frightened by the horse when she went out. She seemed to be quite frightened, but she should be fine." The subordinate explained hurriedly.

But Yun Hao looked at him sharply and asked coldly, "Do you know medicine?"

The subordinates were so scared by his stare that they lowered their heads and said, "The lady is in Yiyuan Hall on the street ahead."

When Yun Hao heard the words "Yiyuan Hall", he sped up his pace and disappeared in a flash. When he arrived at Yiyuan Hall, he saw Zhao Wangshu with gauze wrapped around her forehead and blood stains on her clothes. Her face changed drastically and he rushed to her. "Madam, how are you? Where are you injured? Is it serious? How did you get injured?"

"I'm fine, I just got a little skin broken and bled a little. Lvzhi and the others were too nervous, so they asked the doctor to bandage me up like this." Zhao Wangshu pouted.

Yun Hao didn't believe it. "There's blood on your collar, which shows that you're seriously injured." He turned to look at the doctor beside him, "Doctor, how is my wife's injury?"

The doctor quickly bowed and said, "My Lord, Madam was just frightened and had a few scratches on her forehead. It's nothing serious. As long as she takes the medicine on time and rests for a few days, she will recover."

Yun Hao nodded and told the driver, "Go and drive the carriage over and take Madam back home."

The driver quickly responded with a "yes" and turned to leave the clinic.

"The carriage is here, madam. I'll carry you in." Yun Hao said, bending down.

"My foot is not injured. I can walk." Zhao Wangshu took his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous."

After pulling him into the carriage and as soon as he sat down, Yun Hao asked anxiously, "Wangshu, why are you here?"

Zhao Wangshu blinked and said in confusion, "Didn't you invite me here? You said there's a new roast goose restaurant here, and it tastes great."

Yun Hao's heart sank. He had never asked Zhao Wangshu to come here, let alone to a roast goose restaurant. It was obvious that someone had used his name to ask Zhao Wangshu to come here with ill intentions.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he had made a plan in his mind.

He originally planned to capture Prince Rong and his followers, but Prince Rong's behavior made him unable to tolerate delay. He couldn't let his wife be in danger because of him again, he had to get rid of Prince Rong as soon as possible.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. As long as King Rong falls, the motley crowd under his command will naturally scatter like birds and beasts and dare not make trouble again.

"Wangshu, next time I ask you out, I will go back to pick you up in person." Yun Hao was worried that Prince Rong would take action again.

Zhao Wangshu immediately sensed something was wrong when he heard this, and asked tentatively, "Yun Hao, didn't you ask me to come over?"

Yun Hao hesitated, Zhao Wangshu took his hand, shook it, and said in a tender voice: "Tell me the truth, don't hide it from me, so that I won't be tricked out and put in danger again."

This made sense, and Yun Hao told the truth, "I really didn't ask you to come over."

"Who tricked me into coming here? What does he want to do? Is he going to deal with you?" Zhao Wangshu asked nervously with a frown.

"I suspect it was Prince Rong, but I have no evidence. Don't be afraid, I will resolve this matter as soon as possible and will not let you come to any harm again." Yun Hao held her hand tightly, his eyes firm and deep.

Zhao Wangshu felt the warmth of his palm, met Yun Hao's gaze, and said firmly: "Yun Hao, I am not afraid. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will face them with you. I believe in you, and I believe that we can overcome everything."

"Thank you, Wangshu." Yun Hao gently pulled her into his arms, "Do you still remember the face of the person who brought the message?"

"I didn't pay much attention. Let me ask Lan Fen later." Zhao Wangshu said.

After sending Zhao Wangshu back home, watching her drink the medicine and having lunch with her, Yun Hao asked Lan Fen a few questions before returning to the prison.

Back in the prison, he drew a portrait based on Lanfen's description, summoned his men, and asked them to find out how the lady was injured. "Find this person for me."

The subordinate took the portrait and left.
