292 Setting a Situation
The men in black were already unhappy with Meng Lang’s identity. Now that he had chosen the wrong path, they were tired from running around.
Their whereabouts had also been found by Ah Da’s men.
The guard reported the situation to Ah Da. “Boss, they changed their path and chose the path that the Heir and Heiress took. What should we do?”
Ah Da thought for a moment. “Let’s get in front of them and cut them off at the intersection. Remember to set up an ambush.”
“Yes!”
At this moment, Jiang Ying rushed to Great Yun’s team for the Three Kingdoms Festival as quickly as possible. As someone had died, the team was delayed in a city.
As soon as he entered the city, he heard a guard report that someone was waiting for him at the inn.
Jiang Ying entered the inn and was surprised to see the person there. “Uncle Emperor, why are you here?”
The emperor sighed. “Close the door. Come and sit down.”
Hearing the emperor’s words, Jiang Ying closed the door and walked to the seat opposite him.
The emperor seemed to be a little angry with Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying could more or less tell.
“Uncle Emperor, please don’t be angry. Ning Yue has been poisoned. I was worried about her health, so I didn’t rush over.”
The emperor looked at Jiang Ying in shock. Ning Yue had been poisoned? He really did not know.
“Forget it. Since it’s for Ning Yue’s health, I won’t blame you,” the emperor said.
“Uncle Emperor, why did you come to the Three Kingdoms Festival? Where do you plan to live? Why don’t you stay with me? It’s safer,” Jiang Ying said.
“How am I supposed to answer all your questions?” the emperor said unhappily.
Jiang Ying was instantly a little embarrassed. The emperor could answer slowly one by one.
“I came quietly. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to handle it well. Anyway, the Crown Prince is in charge of the court affairs. I’m relieved, so I came with you to take a look. Of course I have to stay by your side,” the Emperor said.
Although he was preparing to abdicate his position, there were many people at the Three Kingdoms Festival. They could not know everyone’s thoughts.
For the sake of the emperor’s safety, Jiang Ying had to be careful.
Although the emperor planned to give up his position to the crown prince, he had yet to do so. He was still the emperor of the Great Yun Nation. He could not let anything happen during the celebration of the Three Kingdoms Festival.
“Alright, I’ll go make arrangements first. Recently, Yueyue and I have been plotted against. It’s not safe on the road. I’ll go and assign some men to you,” Jiang Ying said.
“There’s no hurry. You just said that the two of you were plotted against. What’s going on?” the emperor asked.
Jiang Ying told him about Meng Lang and Consort Xian, making the emperor furious.
Although he wanted to punish Consort Xian, she was still his concubine. Even if she was killed by him, she could not be with another man!
Also, how did Consort Xian leave? He had clearly issued an imperial edict. Who dared to disobey him?
No, he had to kill Consort Xian again. Otherwise, he would lose his dignity as the emperor!
“Uncle Emperor, Ah Da reported to me that he had already set up an ambush in the previous city. I believe we can capture Meng Lang and Consort Xian soon.”
“However, I heard that Meng Lang discovered the route Ning Yue was going to take in a short period of time. I thought that there might be a mole beside me, so I chose to leave first. At least, that mole won’t be able to receive news about Ning Yue.”
After hearing Jiang Ying’s words, the emperor sneered. “Looks like these people have put in a lot of effort.”
Jiang Ying did not reply. The emperor continued, “He actually dared to kidnap the heir and future heiress of Prince Jin. He’s disrespecting me and the royal family! We can’t let him off!”
Jiang Ying asked the emperor, “Uncle Emperor, what do you plan to do?”
The emperor put away the smile on his face and looked at Jiang Ying solemnly.
“The mole has been sent to you. Can’t you send a few of yours over?” the emperor asked.
Jiang Ying swallowed. Consort Xian was the emperor’s concubine. Although Meng Lang was from Prince Jin’s fief, his actions were not carried out on Prince Jin’s fief.
He wanted to plant spies in Meng Lang and Consort Xian, but he didn’t dare!
If the emperor found out that he could even do something in the capital, wouldn’t he directly capture him and his father and accuse them of rebellion?
“Uncle Emperor, this group of people is operating in the capital. The capital is not under my sphere of influence,” Jiang Ying said.
The emperor smiled and did not say anything else. He told Jiang Ying about his plan.
“Alright, we’re done chatting. Let’s go. Let’s deal with it while it’s still early,” the emperor said.
