Chapter 273: Torturing the Third Prince (54)

"Where are Jun Linyuan and Jiang Yan? Have they been found?" Prince Gong asked without turning his head. His voice was so calm that it was a little scary.

The eunuch shuddered, shook his head in fear, and stammered, "No news has come yet, but the news that Queen Jun Linyuan was shot in the heart came from your personal guards, so it's definitely true. With such a serious injury, she won't live long."

Prince Gong nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with the answer.

"What about Jiang Yan?" His voice suddenly became stern.

"His whereabouts are unknown." The eunuch's head almost dropped to the ground. He didn't dare to look at Prince Gong, fearing that he would be severely beaten.

Prince Gong's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He swung his sleeves and slapped the eunuch hard in the face.

"A bunch of rubbish!" he roared. "You can't even find a single person. What's the point of keeping you around?"

When the eunuch heard the prince's words, his body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. He instantly knelt on the ground, kowtowed profusely, and begged for mercy:

"Your Highness, please spare me! Your Highness, please spare me! Although Jiang Yan is powerful, he is still injured. We have found someone to imitate General Jiang's handwriting to trick him back. When the time comes, we will use the General's Mansion as bait, and he will definitely show up."

As he spoke, he stole a glance at the prince's face. Seeing that the prince showed no sign of change, he continued:

"If...if he doesn't come out, then we'll spread the word that we're going to kill the entire General's family, and he'll definitely come to rescue them!"

After hearing this, Prince Gong snorted coldly, a trace of contempt appeared on his face, and said:

"With just these two tricks of yours, do you think you can catch Jiang Yan? I'll only give you seven days. If you still can't catch him after seven days, I don't think there's any need for your head to stay on your neck anymore."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch was terrified and kowtowed quickly, saying, "I understand! Thank you, Your Highness, for your great kindness! I will do my best to capture Jiang Yan as soon as possible and serve you wholeheartedly!"

……

At the same time, Jiang Yan actually wanted to return to the general's mansion because there was a secret passage in his house, which connected to a house not far from Tingfeng Tower.

However, Prince Gong's surveillance of the General's Mansion was very strict, and Jiang Yan had no way of knowing whether there were any spies in the General's Mansion.

He was worried that if he showed up rashly, he would not only be in danger but might also bring trouble to his family.

So, in the dead of night, Jiang Yan quietly sneaked into the old emperor's bedroom.

The bedroom was silent, with only the faint candlelight flickering in the darkness.

Outside the old emperor's bedroom, several guards were guarding listlessly. Some were dozing off, while others were gathered together playing cards, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Jiang Yan carefully walked through the darkness, his steps as light as a cat. His figure was looming in the shadows, as if blending into the night.

When he finally arrived at the old emperor's bed, the old emperor was not asleep yet.

His eyes suddenly opened in the darkness, and his gaze met Jiang Yan's. He was immediately excited.

Jiang Yan quickly raised his finger, signaling the old emperor to be quiet. The old emperor obviously understood what he meant, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he still suppressed his anger and kept silent.

Jiang Yan gently moved closer to the old emperor's ear and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is seriously injured and will not be able to return to the capital in a short time."
