Chapter 1592: Out of Gas!....
Translator: Lonelytree
The news of Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and another man leaving the capital quickly spread throughout the capital.
Everyone seemed to be guessing that the two of them had left the capital for something important.
In short, be it General Jiang Zhennan or Princess Lin Yuelan, they were the focus of everyone in the capital.
In the circle of nobles in the capital, after learning that the two of them had left, their thoughts were different.
Lin Yuelan’s relatives were still in the capital, and the two of them were about to leave. Could something have happened?
Why didn’t they know?
However, there was news that during the banquet, the so-called relatives of the princesses went to the capital to sue the princess. However, the result was that it was a set-up.
When it came to whether the princess of Guguo was really disrespectful, unfilial, disloyal, and unjust, His Majesty proved the princess’ innocence.
After that, those people were sentenced to death by His Majesty.
However, on the same night, they, who were already sentenced to death, were actually killed. The meaning behind this was chilling.
However, during the second trial of the mastermind behind this case, it was revealed that the mastermind was Princess Linglong of the Black Cloud Kingdom and Consort Liu De, oh no, Lord Liu, Liu Cairen’s father, who secretly framed Princess Gu.
This was really too surprising.
It didn’t matter if the mastermind was Princess Linglong or Lord Liu.
However, the most surprising thing was that when they interrogated Princess Linglong, they found out that she was pregnant.
Princess Linglong had already been appointed as the imperial consort for the eldest grandprince of the emperor.
One had to know that the eldest grandson of the emperor already had a main consort.
However, he was forced to divorce his wife on the spot and then marry Princess Linglong.
This was fine, but no one expected Princess Linglong to be three months pregnant already.
It had only been three months since the Black Cloud Kingdom’s diplomatic mission came to Longyan Kingdom.
Wasn’t this blatantly telling everyone that Princess Linglong had already lost her virginity long before she came to the Longyan Dynasty?
Therefore, news spread out from the palace again.
After the news of the incident spread, the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom immediately entered the palace, followed by the Princess of the Guguo and the General.
After an unknown period of time, it was rumoured that Princess Linglong had been demoted from the main consort to a concubine and was about to be carried into the Imperial Zhangsun’s manor to become his concubine.
And the original Imperial Consort Ye Jing was brought back by the eldest grandprince.
Such a divine turn of events was really shocking.
Not long after these things happened, the princess and the general also had to leave the capital.
No matter how they looked at it, there seemed to be a connection.
If Lin Yuelan knew what these people were thinking, she would have to sigh at how imaginative they were.
Lin Yuelan and the others left the capital and headed straight for the Qilian Mountains.
On the way to the Mountain, Xiao Jingrui looked at the map in his hand and frowned.
Then, he asked Jiang Yunfeng with a sharp gaze,” Are you sure this map is correct?”
Jiang Yunfeng followed Xiao Jingrui along the way. He was exhausted from the wind and the open air.
Ever since he was young, he had never suffered before the collapse of the Duke’s estate.
Unlike now, even if he wanted to eat meat, he still had to look at people’s expressions. Not only that, but he also had to wash his own clothes when they were dirty. He was still wearing the coarse cotton linen of ordinary people. It was very uncomfortable.
Wherever he went, he would have to sit in an old carriage. It was extremely uncomfortable.
All of these feelings were the treatment he had received after the Duke’s estate was raided.
One had to know that he was also a young master in the past. After he got married, he inherited the Duke’s estate and became the Duke. His servants were all at his beck and call.
Now, he was really worse than an ordinary person.
At least ordinary people could fill their stomachs with their own hard work.
And now, he had to rely on the enemy country’s prince, Xiao Jingrui, to survive and rely on him to give him a mouthful of food to eat.
But Xiao Jingrui only wanted him to be a servant.
Jiang Yunfeng was very unhappy with Xiao Jingrui’s question, but he had to answer.
He said curiously,” Second Prince, my memory can’t be wrong! I did draw it according to the map that Yuan Shutong showed me.”
In fact, he was secretly regretting it.
If he had known that the map was a map of a gold mine and an iron mine, he would have coaxed Yuan Shutong to tell him the location of the map before sending her to her death.
It wasn’t only after she died that he realized that the two blueprints she left behind were actually two great prizes.
In fact, Yuan Shutong had told him before, but he didn’t listen.
Xiao Jingrui listened to Jiang Yunfengs answer. He took the drawing and continued to stare at it, his brows tightly knitted.
At this moment, a man walked in from outside and knelt down to report to
Xiao Jingrui,” Your Highness, there is news from Beijing. Yesterday, Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan also left Beijing! As for where they went, we don’t know yet!
Hearing this, Jiang Yunfeng was a little surprised. He said,” What? That unfilial son and that demoness actually left the capital?”
Xiao Jingrui glanced at Jiang Yunfeng coldly.
When Jiang Yunfeng saw his gaze, he was so afraid that he did not dare to speak anymore.
Xiao Jingrui sat on the stone table and tapped the table lightly. His expression was already cold, but there was no vivid change.
A moment later, he spat out a few words coldly and said,” Go investigate!’ It meant that they would definitely find their whereabouts.
After they left, Jiang Yunfeng asked in confusion,” Aren’t we going to look for gold and iron mines? Why are you investigating their whereabouts?”
Xiao Jingrui’s sharp eyes swept him a cold glance again, and the corners of his mouth slightly rose with a touch of sarcasm and mockery. He said coldly,” If we find out where they are going, we will know if they are also going for the two gold mines!”
Jiang Yunfeng asked in surprise,” What?” Then, he said with some doubt, “You… Why do you think so? However, how could they understand those two maps?”
He felt that no one could understand the maps left behind by Yuan Shutong.
He and Xiao Jingrui went to find it because they wanted to rely on the obvious markings on the drawings and luck.
As for whether they could find it, they did not know yet.
This time, Xiao Jingrui looked at Jiang Yunfeng and felt that the other party was really stupid beyond redemption.
They could look for it based on the maps that he had drawn from his memory, but Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had the real maps in their hands. Moreover, they knew very well that these were the maps of the gold mine and iron mines.
How could they not look for such a huge fortune?
He didn’t know how they would find them, but he could not allow that to happen.
He put the map in his arms and took something from the table.
He gently caressed the exquisitely crafted metal detector and asked in confusion,” How did Yuan Shutong know that there were gold and iron mines there? Could it be that she relied on this thing?”
He seemed to be asking himself and Jiang Yunfeng.
As soon as Jiang Yunfeng saw what Xiao Jingrui took out and heard Xiao Jingrui’s doubts, he suddenly felt a dull headache.
Xiao Jingrui seemed to be very persistent in this question. He asked it again and again.
He seemed to have studied and explored the thing in his hand time and time again.
However, he had no clue.
Jiang Yunfeng said with a stiff expression,” Your Highness, I don’t know. I really don’t know. I’ve already told you everything I know.”
Xiao Jingrui’s cold eyes shot at him as if he didn’t believe it, “Hmph, I’m telling you, Jiang Yunfeng, if I find out that you lied to me, the consequences are absolutely not something you can afford! ”
Jiang Yunfeng smiled stiffly and said,” Hehe, Your Highness, l… I know!”
Then, he asked again,” Have you never seen how Yuan Shutong uses this
correct?”
Jiang Yunfeng shook his head and said,” I’ve never seen it before. “At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and said,” I remember now. She once held this thing and told me that this metal detector was just out of oil. Otherwise, she’d teach me how to use it!”
At that time, he was already impatient with Yuan Shutong.
At that time, it was obvious that the gentle Jiangnan woman, Wen Yujing, had won his heart and won his love. At the same time, he was also planning how to bring Wen Yujing to the capital and make Yuan Shutong accept Wen Yujings existence.
Unfortunately, Wen Yujing had no interest in being a concubine at that time. What she wanted was the position of the powerful matriarch of the State Duke.
Therefore, when Jiang Yunfeng was planning to make Yuan Shutong accept Wen Yujings existence, Wen Yujing was plotting to replace Yuan Shutong as the matriarch.
Originally, Jiang Yunfengs heart had already changed. Under Wen Yujings instigation, he began to favour Wen Yujing more. Naturally, he became even more impatient with Yuan Shutong.
Therefore, he couldn’t remember much about what Yuan Shutong had said and done to him.
Now, he finally remembered this.
Xiao Jingrui listened and frowned again..” Oil?”
