A Prince's Endless Indulgence-Chapter 1023 - 57, Her Identity (Part 1)

Chapter 1023: Chapter 57, Her Identity (Part 1)
This night, the Imperial Capital was filled with the sounds of alarm; the Imperial Guards conducted house-to-house searches, sparing no large residence. They even searched cellars and secret rooms, imprisoning all who refused to cooperate, regardless of their status or royal connection.
Outside the Imperial Capital, every junction bore the same carriage tracks, identical in weight.
Zhou Yunshen’s men, not a single one returned. By the time a second group was sent to search, they discovered that the first had already been dead for some time.
The Emperor announced his abdication, becoming the Retired Emperor, while Zhou Yunshen ascended to the throne, and the Empress became the Empress Dowager.
All these changes occurred swiftly, in just a few short days.
In the Capital City, everyone was on edge, yet many people’s hearts became more active.
The Fuwei Marquis Residence was one of them.
"No matter what, by any means necessary, you must find her; she can only be the sixth young lady of the Marquis Residence!" The old Marquess stated calmly.
He glanced at Nalan Bo, "Old Third, do you have any ideas?"
"Father, perhaps we can use Mrs. Xu as bait!" whispered Nalan Bo.
Mrs. Liao’s death is certainly connected to Mrs. Xu, even if he has no evidence.
"It’s unwise. If she returns for Mrs. Xu and discovers our deception, once she enters the palace, she can easily deal with us. That’s unacceptable!" Nalan Old Lord firmly objected.
He immediately added, "Moreover, Mrs. Xu is pregnant!"
"When did this happen?" Nalan Bo exclaimed in surprise.
"Earlier, Mrs. Xu sent someone to say she was unwell and summoned the Mansion Physician over a month ago!"
That means she became pregnant while still in the border town.
Nalan Bo felt utterly exhausted.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu became pregnant at this time...
"Mother..."
"Old Third, don’t forget, Mrs. Xu’s family is no ordinary one. It’s the Count Residence. Though they may have declined in court, the Xu Family has become immensely wealthy through commerce. With money, what can’t be achieved?"
So, Nalan Old Lord was very wary of Nalan Bo making a move against Mrs. Xu.
She was truly afraid that one wrong move could spell the end for the Fuwei Marquis Residence.
"Mother, you’re right. I was being foolish!"
"It’s good you understand. Let the past be. Don’t pursue the particulars of how that concubine of yours died. Raise those two children well, so they don’t turn into ingrates!"
"Yes!"
Nalan Old Lord didn’t want to ask any more questions than necessary.
Who can clearly explain the matters of the past?
When news of Mrs. Xu’s pregnancy spread, Nalan Mingzhu and Nalan Mingcong were stunned for quite a while, the siblings silently exchanging glances before falling into silence.
Yet the discontent in their eyes became increasingly apparent.
This is a mountain estate.
Built amidst the mountains, on the edge of cliffs and precipices.
Nalan Jinlian...
She didn’t know who she was, having forgotten everything.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, watching the snow fall, she reached out her hand to let the snowflakes land in her palm, watching them melt into water.
Her body felt cold, and so did her heart.
Being unable to see the future or remember the past felt extremely uncomfortable.
A warm, thick cloak was draped around her shoulders.
She turned her head and saw a boy who resembled her, smiling sincerely and ingratiatingly.
"Sister!"
His name was Han Tianci, and he said she used to be called Yun Jinnian, and now she is called Han Jinnian.
She is the eldest daughter of the Han Family.
For some reason, she believed him.
Perhaps because he never nagged her, instead accompanying her to stand here all afternoon until nightfall.
