Yun Jiao nodded vigorously.
She didn’t know what the rumors were, and she didn’t ask.
Although Jiang You’s words sounded so casual.
She guessed that this must be the result of his painstaking efforts.
Yun Jiao blinked. At this mont, she really wanted to lean into his embrace, but she couldn’t. She could only force back the tears in her eyes and said with a smile, "Alright, let’s go together."
Rumors spread quickly in the Capital City about the Crown Prince being assassinated, and there were even rumors that the group of bandits who kidnapped Miss Yan that day were the sa people who attempted to assassinate the Crown Prince.
There were even rumors that it was Mr. Yan who orchestrated the assassination.
Yan Beichen’s reputation was already bad, and although the officials and commoners in the Capital City feared him, they often cursed him behind his back.
The rumors spread wider and even reached the emperor in the palace.
He summoned the Crown Prince, "Didn’t you say that the last survivor also died, and nothing was revealed? How co there are such absurd rumors outside?"
The last survivor couldn’t survive due to serious injuries, which also frustrated the Crown Prince.
This rumor was actually spread by people he arranged outside, but he didn’t expect soone else to help, causing the rumors to spread quickly.
The Crown Prince could only say, "I also don’t know where the leak ca from. After all, there were two thousand mbers of the Forbidden Army who went to the fortress that day."
The emperor thought so too, two thousand mouths couldn’t be sealed.
He couldn’t bla the Crown Prince, after all, he was unjustly attacked and a beloved concubine died.
The emperor was also irritable, "We still need to investigate this matter thoroughly, and those people from the martial world should be harshly interrogated. See if anything else can be extracted."
The Crown Prince replied listlessly, "Yes."
People from the martial world had already been subjected to various tortures, completely squeezed out, yet nothing useful could be obtained, and there was nothing he could do.
Yan Beichen naturally also learned of the rumors in the capital.
He didn’t take these rumors to heart at all.
But this ti, he lost over a hundred Death Warriors, and the people from the martial world he had painstakingly gathered to handle so unspeakable matters were also captured. This was a major loss and he found himself temporarily without hidden forces to deploy.
Even with his mind, he couldn’t figure out who used the assassination of the Crown Prince to fra him.
In the entire Capital City, he didn’t think anyone had the guts to do it.
He didn’t even consider Jiang Youzhi.
In his mind, Jiang Youzhi was just a young kid, with immature intellect and tactics, incapable of planning such a massive sche, not within his range of suspicion.
Yan Beichen had a fleeting thought about Duke of England, but he quickly dismissed it.
If Duke of England knew about his fortress, he would just report it directly, instead of using such a risky move as assassinating the Crown Prince.
The loyalty of Duke of England was not to be doubted by the emperor, nor by him.
Having suffered such a significant loss, Yan Beichen hadn’t been in the mood to leave the mansion recently, spending every day tornting his concubines.
Yang Ying, being the new favorite, suffered the most.
She also thought of her mother’s words, to be more obedient and gentle to suffer less, but it was all useless.
Yan Beichen seed to enjoy watching won cry; each ti he would whip or squeeze her harshly, the more she cried, the more excited Yan Beichen beca.
She truly didn’t know when these hellish days would end.
anwhile, Yun Jiao, in high spirits, with her two female guards, went out with Jiang Youzhi.
Jiang Youzhi not only brought along sixteen guards but also fifty personal soldiers of the Duke to escort two carriages to the workshop.
