The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion-Chapter 525: The day is near when the Court will be stable.
Chapter 525
Fei Nanyu bowed again: "Nan Qi has never given up searching for Fe Mama. I thought the most dangerous place would also be the safest place, so not long ago, I had already brought Fe Mama to the Fei Residence.
Later, I will go and see her, and inform her about the matter of entering the palace, so that she can mentally prepare herself."
Fei Nanyu had once said that after Fe Mama followed him to the capital city, she started to change her mind. After all, Nan Qi was her own nephew. Back then, she risked betraying her master and exchanged her own nephew to become a prince, with the hope that her nephew would eventually soar and achieve great success.
If it weren't for Nan Qi repeatedly sending people to pursue and kill them, Fe Mama might never have had the intention of revealing this secret to the public in her lifetime.
Unfortunately, after returning to the capital city, she was safe, but at the same time, her determination to testify to Fei Nanyu's identity gradually crumbled.
Both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were very curious whether Fei Nanyu had already persuaded Fe Mama to come forward and testify.
But they also chose not to inquire, since Fei Nanyu had voluntarily proposed to bring Fe Mama into the palace together, it meant he already had full confidence.
"If that's the case, Mr. Fei can make the arrangements. My wife and I will go and see her father-in-law first. Tonight at the third watch, we will meet you here."
Fei Nanyu looked at the sky outside.
"It's already daylight. I will personally send you two to Minister Hao's place."
Fei Nanyu sent Mo Jiuye and his wife to the guest house where Minister Hao was resting, then left, instructing his subordinates to send over more food and ensure the honored guests were well-entertained.
Minister Hao had also stayed awake all night. Although his son-in-law had that "white dove" send a message back, reporting that they were safe, he couldn't let his heart rest until he saw them return in person after being away for so long.
Seeing Fei Nanyu leave, Minister Hao eagerly pulled the two of them to inquire about the situation.
His primary concern was their safety, and only after that did he care about the situation in the palace.
Mo Jiuye recounted the events that had occurred after entering the palace.
Although Minister Hao had already lost faith in the court, as a member of the royalist faction, he still appeared somewhat indignant.
"The Empress and the Xue Family are really brazen, actually killing the Empress Dowager and privately imprisoning the Emperor..."
Listening to Minister Hao vent for a while, He Zhiran advised him again.
"Father, Emperor Shunwu is so incompetent. I think it's better not to protect such an emperor!"
Minister Hao sighed helplessly.
"Father is indeed very disappointed in the court, but Father has also received a salary for decades. As the saying goes, 'when the nation faces peril, every man has a duty.' Now that Da Shun is in crisis, if I just leave like this, wouldn't I be accused of deserting?"
In fact, He Zhiran could understand her elderly father's feelings. For someone who had spent his whole life thinking about how to serve the court, it would probably take some time for him to come to terms with suddenly abandoning it.
"Father, think about how Mother and Elder Brother have already taken a liking to life in the Northwest. That shows how appealing the life there is. Moreover, you have already been busy serving the court for half your life, so you should take the time to properly enjoy life."
He Zhiran decided to change tactics and continue attacking her father's last line of defense.
Minister Hao sighed: "Alas... even if I were to leave, Father would wait until the court situation stabilizes."
"Father, rest assured, the day the court stabilizes is not far off."
Now that the Jade Seal was in their possession, if things progressed smoothly, tonight Fei Nanyu would meet with Emperor Shunwu and Concubine Yuan, successfully restoring his position as a prince. Emperor Shunwu would then voluntarily reveal his own trump card. She believed the day the court stabilized would arrive very soon.
Moreover, after dealing with the affairs in the palace, they also planned to eliminate the members of the Xue Family.
Once the Xue Family's leading figures died, they would naturally be thrown into disarray.
In any case, they already had plans in mind, but considering that if Minister Hao knew about these, he would surely worry for them, so the two of them tactfully refrained from mentioning it.
Inside the Fei Residence, they didn't know if there would be any unexpected incidents, so He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye chose not to rest in the inner space.
The couple rested in the guest room for one day, and when the appointed time to meet Fei Nanyu arrived, they went to the study together.
By this time, Fe Mama had already been brought over by Fei Nanyu's people. From her constipated expression, it was clear that she was very conflicted at the moment.
However, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both believed in Fei Nanyu's ability to handle matters. Since he chose to bring Fe Mama along to testify to his identity, it meant he was already fully prepared.
Without further ado, He Zhiran took out the silver needle from the inner space and, in front of Fei Nanyu, pricked Fe Mama into unconsciousness.
Seeing this, Fei Nanyu was momentarily taken aback, but soon realized that he would likely receive the same treatment next.
To save Mo Jiuye and his wife the trouble of explaining, he voluntarily approached them.
He Zhiran commended his understanding in her heart and sent him into the inner space in an unconscious state.
They still chose to enter through the secret passage.
The National Treasury had been completely looted again. Such a major event could not possibly have gone unnoticed for so long.
The most obvious sign was that all the guards outside had been withdrawn.
This result was not unexpected. With the Emperor being rescued from the secret room, it was a huge matter for the Empress's faction.
Before they could find the person, the Empress's side would be severely lacking in manpower.
Since the National Treasury was now completely empty, leaving people to guard it would be a waste of resources.
Instead of having a group of people guarding an empty room, it was better to deploy them to more useful posts.
Therefore, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran left the National Treasury without much effort.
The two of them avoided the guards' line of sight and once again arrived at Concubine Yuan's bedchamber.
After reaching the courtyard of the bedchamber, He Zhiran released the unconscious people from the inner space and lifted their unconscious state.
For Fe Mama, this place was more familiar than anywhere else.
She had already forgotten to ask how she had ended up here, and instead stared in shock at everything before her.
Fei Nanyu remained much calmer than Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had imagined.
"Ninth Young Master, is this the bedchamber of Noble Consort Yuan?"
Mo Jiuye pointed to the room with a faint light and said, "The Noble Consort is in there."
As his words fell, Fe Mama immediately opened her mouth and started wailing.
"The Noble Consort..."
There would always be patrolling guards appearing outside the bedchamber. Fe Mama's actions risked summoning them!
In desperation, He Zhiran knocked her out with a chop of her hand.
Mo Jiuye sensed the surrounding situation and, seeing no danger, dragged Fe Mama by her collar towards Concubine Yuan's room.
He Zhiran went forward and lightly knocked on the door.
"Noble Consort."
As her words fell, Granny Wang came running and opened the door.
"Ninth... This noble sir, have you brought the person?"
She almost slipped up but reacted in time, avoiding arousing the Emperor's suspicion.
