Chapter 1444 She Is Buying Time for Everyone

"Shall we go and verify now?"

Chu Jiangnan's heart suddenly began to pound, racing wildly.

The speed of his heartbeat was almost beyond what he could currently bear.

Seeing that his expression was a little off, Chu Wang quickly said, "Imperial Brother, don't be too nervous. Little Li'er is in our palace, she won't get lost. Imperial Brother, you should... calm down first."

After all, Imperial Brother had only recently recovered from a serious illness, and had not even fully healed.

Getting too emotional would not be good for his health.

Chu Jiangnan closed his eyes, trying to calm his breathing.

Could Little Li'er really be his daughter?

His Nanming's little princess!

"Imperial Brother, what do we do now..."

"We'll talk about it when she wakes up."

Chu Jiangnan opened his eyes and glanced at him indifferently. "Her body is still very weak. Since she is in the palace, we must first ensure her safety."

If she was, this matter would soon be revealed.

If she wasn't...

Chu Jiangnan exhaled lightly, saying nothing more.

In any case, the most important thing right now was her health and safety.

Chu Wang nodded.

If she really was, she wouldn't be able to escape. Knowing the truth would only be a matter of time.

Since Little Li'er had not yet woken up, it wouldn't be too late to do a blood test for kinship after she woke up and her spirits had stabilized.

Otherwise, if the matter was too stimulating and she became agitated, her injuries might worsen, which would not be good.

Safety first.

"Imperial Brother, how do you plan to deal with Prince Yu?"

Princess Your Highness had already imprisoned Prince Yu in the heavenly prison on the charge of causing chaos in the court and attempting rebellion. However, without concrete evidence, Prince Yu could not be convicted of this crime.

Princess Your Highness's current tough stance could only keep him imprisoned for a few days.

He feared that by tomorrow morning, the officials would put pressure on the Emperor, and even the common people would misunderstand the Emperor.

If one could not command the respect of the masses, one could not win the hearts of the people.

"I have already sent people to inquire about news from the Crown Prince's mansion."

"You mean Chu Minghao's concubines?" A trace of surprise flashed in Chu Jiangnan's eyes. Had this younger brother finally come to his senses?

"Are you finally willing to use your brain when doing things?"

Although Chu Wang wanted to retort, when had he ever been unwilling to use his brain?

However, this time, he really couldn't argue.

"It was Little Li'er's idea."

After Prince Yu was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, Chu Qianli immediately instructed him to mobilize people to inquire about news from the Crown Prince's mansion.

As for the Emperor, Chu Qianli did not want to trouble him further, so she did not report to her Imperial Brother.

However, it seemed that Imperial Brother had also sent people to do things in advance.

"In fact, Little Li'er's decision to imprison Prince Yu under pressure was just to buy us some time."

Chu Wang finally understood Chu Qianli's intentions completely.

Whether it was one day or two, as long as there was a time difference, it would be good.

Otherwise, Prince Yu would definitely not let that concubine in the Crown Prince's mansion off the hook when he returned.

"I just don't know if our people can make it in time..."

"Your Majesty," Xiao Shunzi reported from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, Commander Yang requests an audience."

Chu Wang and Chu Jiangnan exchanged glances, their hearts tightening simultaneously.

"Let him in."

Soon, Xiao Shunzi led Yang Xun in hastily from outside.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Prince Jing was also here, Yang Xun was about to bow.

Chu Wang quickly interrupted, "Is there any news from the Crown Prince's mansion?"

Yang Xun was slightly stunned, then nodded, his tone heavy. "Your Majesty, Prince Jing, the backyard of the Crown Prince's mansion suddenly caught fire, resulting in countless casualties!"
