Chapter 348: The Eighth Prince

"Fanfu?"

"Yes, I followed the information left by Xiaochen to the Fanfu in the south of the city. I saw with my own eyes that Xiaochen was locked inside. When I was about to rescue Xiaochen, I was stopped by a man in white. They took the opportunity to transfer Xiaochen away. , Even the thousands of miles tracking on Xiaochen's body was discovered and taken away by them. I searched all the places in Kaifeng where people might hide, but I didn't find even a trace. Brother Gu, do you know who the owner of this Fanfu is, and what is his identity?"

After hearing this, Gu Yi shook his head and said, "I have been in Kaifeng Mansion for so long, and I know the household register of Kaifeng Mansion by heart, but I have never heard of this Fanfu Mansion, let alone who its owner is."

Before Gu Yi could finish his sentence, the Eighth Prince, who is currently the prefect of Kaifeng, came over, and the guards at the gate said in unison: "I have seen the Eighth Prince."

"I have seen the Eighth Prince."

"Forget it." An elegant middle-aged man chuckled, "Gu Yi, I can't find you everywhere, so you ran here. We made an appointment yesterday. If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return. Don't try to break your promise."

He looked at Du Qingshan and Gu Yi, with a pair of peach blossom eyes showing a hint of a smile: "Isn't this the young Grand Tutor? Why, why did you come to Kaifeng mansion instead of teaching the prince in the palace today?"

"Oh, back to the lord, the student's wife was arrested today. After several investigations, it was found to be related to the Fan Mansion in the south of the city. The student is in Kaifeng Mansion. He wanted to ask Brother Gu if he knew who the owner of the Fan Mansion was."

"Fanfu?"

"Yes, there is a mansion at the end of Wutong Lane in the south of the city, which is quite luxurious, with the word Fanfu on the plaque. Eighth Prince, do you know Fanfu?"

"Well, I know a little bit." The Eighth Prince walked to the side and sat down, took the tea brought by Gu Yi, looked at Du Qingshan, "You said your wife was arrested in Fanfu, but why did you get arrested?"

"This."

Du Qingshan hesitated.

At the end of the day, he searched everywhere for Xiaochen's whereabouts, his mind was in a mess, and he really didn't seriously think about why Xiaochen was arrested.

At this moment the Eighth Prince asked, alarm bells were ringing in his heart, combined with what the man in white said during the day, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

only--

Du Qingshan looked at the Eighth Prince, thinking whether he could tell the Eighth Prince about this matter.

No, no.

Du Qingshan said: "Returning to the lord, my wife has never made any enemies in the capital. If there is anything coveted, it may be her identity as the author of the book."

"Xi Qingchen?" The Eighth Prince asked interestingly, "Is Xi Qingchen your wife?"

"Go back to the prince, that's right."

Gu Yi gave Du Qingshan a strange look, but said nothing.

The Eighth Prince smiled for a while, shook his head and said: "If the master of Fanfu arrests your wife, it will definitely not be because of her status as a dusty dust."

Du Qingshan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "My lord, please tell the students, who is the owner of Fanfu?"

"The eldest brother-in-law of the current emperor, Ma Shuai of the imperial army, Liu Mei."

This?
Du Qingshan and Gu Yi looked at each other, stunned for a while.

Liu Mei, formerly known as Gong Mei, is the ex-husband of the current empress Liu E, who was originally from the middle of Shu.

When he was young, he and his wife Liu E left the land of Shu and came to the capital to make a living. Unexpectedly, the current emperor, who was still King Xiang at that time, fell in love with Liu E. Gong Mei called Liu E her step-sister and sold Liu E to the Prince Xiang's mansion.

King Xiang is an infatuated person, he loves Liu E very much, and he also trusts Gong Mei, his brother-in-law.

After Liu E became the queen, Gong Mei changed her surname to Liu and became Liu Mei.

Although he has no great talent, he is clear and aware of current affairs. He is devoted to the emperor and loyal to the empress. After Liu E gained power, he was promoted all the way, his official career was prosperous, and he achieved the current position of Marshal of the Imperial Army.

Knowing that the owner of Fanfu is Liu Mei, Du Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.

Xiaochen's background must have been discovered.

"Young man, are you still telling the truth?"

The Eighth Prince played with the empty teacup in his hand, waiting for Du Qingshan unhurriedly.

"Liu Mei has always been considerate in her work. Now that the emperor is seriously ill and all the officials are in panic, it is really a critical time. He will never arrest your wife because of trivial matters, causing trouble for himself and the queen, unless—"

His wise eyes suddenly fixed on Du Qingshan, word by word:
"What's the shocking secret about your wife?"
