Niu Lirong was stunned for a moment before kneeling as well.
The other people in the courtyard also kneeled one by one when they saw this.
“Get up. Everyone is responsible for this. Just be more careful in the future.” Zhou Ying said.
“Indeed, everyone should supervise each other in the future.”
Gu Chengrui paused for a moment, afraid that it would cause internal strife. He continued, “But you’re not allowed to take revenge or deliberately frame someone. Otherwise, if you’re found out, you’ll be sold to the ravine as a shared wife.”
Everyone agreed to that.
As for Xiaxiang, the husband and wife did not punish her. Instead, they brought her directly to the dungeon of King Rui’s Residence at night.
At the same time, the families of a few hardcore supporters of King Rui also took the opportunity to drag the spies out of their residence and directly brought them to King Rui’s dungeon.
When everyone was here, Butler Feng walked in and said, “Thank you for your hard work today.”
“Butler Feng, you flatter us. It’s our fault for having spies.” Everyone immediately replied.
“It’s inevitable; there’s even some here in the residence.
“Everyone, please return home for now. I’ll contact you when there’s news from His Highness.”
“Sorry for the trouble, Butler Feng.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out with Zhou Ying.
The others followed one after another.
Butler Feng began to interrogate all the spies in the cell.
However, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui did not return to the residence directly. Instead, they walked to Gu Wanning’s courtyard. Knowing that she was still awake, they walked in.
Gu Wanning, who was doing the accounts, heard that they were coming. She immediately put down what she was doing and came out to welcome them. “Cousin, cousin-in-law, why are you here at this time?”
After greeting them, Chun Xi served tea and sent the others away.
Gu Chengrui saw that she was not worried at all and said, “It seems that His Highness had informed you before he left.”
“He mentioned mainly because he was afraid that we would panic.”
“Very good; we came here to send the spies from our residence. It just so happened that your cousin-in-law came with me together, and we also came to visit to see how you were doing.”
“I’m fine. I’m just a little busy.”
“Busy? His Highness isn’t around; what are you busy with?” Zhou Ying asked in surprise.
“The princess consort is about to give birth, so I’ll temporarily take care of the arrangements in the residence.”
“I didn’t expect you to get along so well with her.”
“We didn’t expect it either, but it’s good this way. This way, I don’t have to worry about sabotages every day.” Gu Wanning looked at Zhou Ying and said, “Cousin-in-law, if you are not busy, you should come and visit me. It is very boring here in the residence.”
“If you don’t think I’m annoying you, sure.”
“How can that be? I would be more than happy.”
After that, the three of them chatted for a while before the couple returned to the residence.
At about midnight, King Rui changed into the clothes of a royal guard and followed Xiao Heng into the palace. He saw the Emperor, who was already ill in bed.
“Greetings, Imperial Father.”
The Emperor joked, “Get up; I heard that you were seriously injured and had disappeared.”
“I didn’t expect them to send so many people to assassinate me, and two waves at that.”
“They’re not the same person’s subordinates, right?”
“Yeah. The second batch is obviously better than the first batch.
“If it wasn’t for my ample preparations, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t have been able to return today.”
“Cough, cough, cough.” The Emperor coughed dryly twice and coughed out blood, which shocked King Rui.
King Rui went forward to help him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked, “You…. Has the imperial physician found out what poison it is?”
