Chapter 1480: Chapter 1477: Entering the Palace
It was discovered that none of the familiar prison guards were in sight.
Liu Haocong’s expression changed slightly, he forced a smile and waved his hand, saying to Zheng Hechuan with a laugh, “Minister Zheng, since it is the Emperor’s command, we naturally dare not disobey. These foods are for you and your brothers. Guarding here must be tiring, please don’t be too critical…”
“Young Master Liu, we do not need them, take them back, and please do not make things difficult for us.” Zheng Hechuan’s gaze was intense, he did not accept the offerings at all.
Liu Haocong squeezed out a smile, “It was my oversight, then I will trouble you, Minister Zheng.”
Saying this, he turned and walked back quickly, his face already darkened, inwardly cursing Zheng Hechuan for not showing the slightest respect. If it were usual tis, would he need to flatter him?
Two servant boys hurriedly followed behind.
Upon returning to the residence, Liu Haocong unreservedly conveyed the news to Old Madam Liu, Madam Liu, and even the Great Master of the Liu Family and the Second Master of the Liu Family who had already returned ho.
Everyone’s mood instantly darkened.
The Second Master of the Liu Family beca anxious, pacing back and forth, “Why won’t they let even family mbers in to visit? Do they intend to leave father isolated and helpless in prison?”
“Mother, what should we do?”
Everyone looked towards Old Madam Liu.
Old Madam Liu gritted her teeth, “What else can we do but wait? Your father must have made so preparations.”
“Elder, you go contact the people from the Ministry of Punishnt, they must have so information.” Old Madam Liu knew her husband’s character well, it was impossible for him to have no control over his subordinates. Those officials would also act to save him for their own safety.
The Great Master of the Liu Family nodded, retrieved silver from the accounting room, and quickly left the residence.
anwhile, Old Madam Liu instructed that every day they should try to send food and clothing to Liu Yanzhen.
–
Ye Muyu received the news when five commoners appeared to drum and make a complaint.
When she learned that Liu Yanzhen had been taken to prison, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, she was not entirely reassured, she later learned that the prison did not allow Liu family mbers to visit, which was good news, at least it signified that the Emperor was taking action.
Ye Muyu sent a ssage to the Huo Residence.
Regarding the other matters, she waited for more good news.
Old Madam of the Huo Residence received the ssage sent by Ye Muyu’s people, a look of relief crossed her face. Whatever she thought of, she clenched her fist firmly, stood up, and instructed her servants to dress her in the third-grade imperial command attire.
The elderly person serving beside her showed slight concern.
“Madam, are you planning to enter the palace?”
Old Madam Huo nodded, her tone heavy. “It is ti.”
“But…” The old nanny looked worried, especially seeing the madam’s expression, “Should we inform the young miss?”
“No, you mustn’t.” Old Madam Huo denied severely, her gaze sharp, “You must never tell Hongyan about this matter. Once I enter the palace, your primary task is to take care of the young misses and the young master at ho. Do you understand, nanny?”
The old nanny’s eyes reddened slightly.
“Madam, let accompany you into the palace, it has been years that I have taken care of you, you are accustod to my presence. If you go alone, the young misses will certainly be worried, they might do sothing impulsive that you wouldn’t wish for.”
Old Madam Huo sighed lightly, knowing that what the old nanny said was true, it was indeed what Hongyan would do.
“Alright, I will take you along. Everyone else will stay in the residence, if there is danger, seek help from the neighboring residence.”
The old nanny hurriedly nodded and conveyed the orders.
Old Madam Huo boarded the carriage, took the old nanny, and headed straight to the palace gate.
