Chapter 238: The old coach went north quietly with his own selfish intentions

"Don't be afraid. As long as the witch doctor is still alive, I will find him. Even if I can't find him, I will find his people even if I have to search all over the mountains in northern Yunnan. I will find a way to save Ah Xing's life!"

Marshal Pei's assurance was resounding. What he said at this moment was an expression of a father's love for his daughter. Aunt An held his hand tightly and said.

"The concubine passed away. She must have some family members. Can we start looking for her from them? Maybe it will be quicker!"

Hearing this, Marshal Pei agreed on the surface, but in fact, this concubine was originally a spy, and the so-called relatives were definitely fabricated, so the clues were completely cut off.

But he suddenly remembered that this matter was led by Zi Su, and perhaps he had some clues, so he said something to comfort him.

"Take good care of my daughter. I'm going to the Han Palace."

Aunt An's body was weakened by crying, but she had to be strong at this time and let Marshal Pei go and find out first before doing anything else.

Pei Zitian did not go with them. After all, he did not have the face as his elder brother in front of the King of Han. Therefore, he had to stay at home with his aunt. When he saw his sister sleeping on the bed, he remembered how annoyed he was with her when she used to say those crazy things, and he suddenly felt a lot of self-blame.

I hope my sister will have a chance to compensate them.

In the Palace of Prince Han, the moonlight had already risen, but at this moment in the study, the palace lanterns were lit brightly.

"I know what you said. This matter was indeed supervised by Zi Su, but at that time, in order to wipe out the roots, no one was left alive. Therefore, even if you go to him about the witch doctor, I'm afraid he can't do anything. If there is any possibility, it is probably Prince Chun. He arranged the nails, and I believe he must know something about this matter. But in the current situation, you have no excuse even if you go north!"

Marshal Pei was a soldier, so he was not allowed to leave Hanzhou without being summoned.

So there was nothing wrong with what the King of Han said. Marshal Pei also knew the trouble of this matter, so his face was very grim. Who knew that the news came so timely. Before he even walked out of the study, the news of the Crown Princess's death reached the King of Han.

"Dead? Died suddenly?"

Why did it feel like there was something fishy when they heard this? She was the Crown Princess. If the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne in the future, she would be the most noble woman in the world. They didn't expect that she would die like this. The King of Han and Marshal Pei both held their breath.

After a moment, Marshal Pei took the opportunity to speak.

"Your Highness, this matter is very strange. I'm afraid it has something to do with Prince Chun's Mansion. I dare to disguise myself and go to Xijing City to find out the real reason for the Crown Princess' death! By the way, I can also find out the whereabouts of the witch doctor."

The King of Han was in a dilemma, but he suddenly thought of Cheng Dengping and for a moment he had some ideas. So after a little thought, he said to Marshal Pei.

"Although the Crown Princess passed away without much fanfare, it is understandable that the Crown Prince took the opportunity to come to the capital. When the time comes, the old Marshal will disguise himself and follow him north, so that he can be protected along the way. However, there is another important matter that I would like to trouble you with."

"I will do my best to follow your orders, my Lord."

After hearing the answer from General Pei, the King of Han did not delay any longer and hurriedly told him that Cheng Dengping was his illegitimate son. Although General Pei was surprised, he soon understood that the prince was not valued by the King of Han and the princess had not been pregnant for a long time. Seeing that the Han Palace might end without an heir, the King of Han naturally had to make some plans for himself. Although Cheng Dengping was a consort, it was not as comfortable as being the second son of the Han Palace. Therefore, General Pei understood that bringing the second son back was the most important purpose of his trip!
He clasped his fists and said to the King of Han with a solemn oath.

"I understand what the prince means. I will definitely find a way to bring the second young master back to Hanzhou!"

The King of Han got the answer he wanted, and then he began to write a memorial about the Crown Prince's visit to the capital. He did it so quickly that before Marshal Pei even left the King of Han's Palace, the news had already been sent north at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

On the third day, the Prince of Han, who had been enjoying the New Year's Day comfortably, got up from his warm bed and had to lead his men north. Fortunately, there were two pretty beauties hidden in the carriage, which allowed him to vent his dissatisfaction.

As for Marshal Pei, he announced to the public that he was ill.

In addition, after he handed over the seal of the head of the family, not only the elders of the clan, but also the people outside tacitly acknowledged that his health was deteriorating. Especially under the deliberate cover-up of the King of Han, the doctors in the palace were also going in and out of the old house of the Pei family, which made others believe it even more.

The wind and snow covered the traces of the group's journey northward, and at this moment in the warm Pei Zisu mansion, Mrs. Pei and Su Sheng were drinking milk tea.

"Marshal Pei is ill. I heard that his condition is a bit tricky. Even the doctor from the Han Palace is staying in the Pei family's old house. Cousin, don't you plan to go and see him?"

"If he is dead, white banners will be hung outside the mansion. When the funeral invitation arrives, I will perform the necessary rituals. Now, even if he is really half dead, what is the point of me going? There is no point in wasting time."

As a couple, it is not easy to live like them.

Su Sheng's eyebrows were indifferent, and he did not make any further statement on the matter. He just put down the teacup in his hand and said something.

"It is said that when the Prince of Han went north, he was accompanied by several unfamiliar guards. They looked like they were from the army, but their appearance and age did not match. It seems that the King of Han played a big role in this matter."

Hearing this, Mrs. Pei was slightly surprised.

"Cousin, do you mean that Marshal Pei disguised himself and infiltrated the Crown Prince's team heading north? Or is it that the King of Han was covering for him?"

"I don't have any definite evidence, but this is all too coincidental, so I have this suspicion. But why did Marshal Pei go north? I don't understand this!"

Although Mrs. Pei didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, she still knew something about Pei Zixing's illness from Mu Shao. Therefore, she knew that Marshal Pei would take such a move, and it must be related to this matter!

With a sneer, he realized that she was indeed his beloved daughter. He was willing to risk his own life to leave Hanzhou to find medicine for her!
"If you have a way, please help cover it up. I don't care whether he dies or not, but I just hope he doesn't harm the children!"

If Marshal Pei were to be discovered for leaving Hanzhou without permission, the entire Pei family would be in trouble. So even though Mrs. Pei was disgusted, she would not be careless when it came to her child.

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Once the news comes from me, no one else will notice it."

"That's good."
