Chapter 365 Guessed wrong?
Song Junyan goes out early and comes back late every day, and the two sisters are not idle either.
Lu Xinran would go to the palace every few days, looking for an opportunity to get close to the Qingxin Palace and secretly load out the emperor's booklet.
After entering the palace many times, he investigated all the palace maids around the Empress Dowager.
This actually allowed her to discover several people that Yunsong had arranged around the Queen Mother, and also his subsequent arrangements.
She has always felt that Yunsong is a time bomb. This man is too scheming and often acts in a treacherous way. If she keeps letting him go, she might end up falling into his trap unintentionally.
So after discovering the follow-up actions of those people, she asked the queen to find an opportunity to quietly get rid of them all.
Getting rid of the person would naturally disrupt Yunsong's subsequent arrangements.
She and Lu Xinlan sat in the mansion waiting for the furious Yunsong to show up.
What was unexpected was that at this point Yunsong was still able to keep his composure and only asked Yuncheng to come to the Prince of Wei's Mansion again.
Yun Cheng was carried in this time. His back was covered with whip marks, red, swollen and festering, without a single piece of healthy flesh.
This was a silent warning to them not to ruin his good deeds again.
"Sister, what should we do next?"
Lu Xinran ordered people to settle Yun Cheng in the wing room in the front yard, and then ordered people to invite the imperial physician to treat him. Only then did he frown and discuss countermeasures with Lu Xinlan.
Lu Xinlan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a pity that my uncle doesn't know Yuncheng's whereabouts, otherwise we can catch him and put an end to it all."
No matter how many arrangements he has made, once the person is no longer in this world, all those arrangements will become in vain.
When the critical moment comes, there is no need to guard against him taking advantage of the situation.
Lu Xinran's mind moved, "If we want to find out his whereabouts, there is a way!"
Yunsong has been in the Yun family for so many years that he has long tied his life and interests to the Yun family.
With his arrogance, he probably never thought that anyone could break his plan, so he probably didn't think of avoiding Yun Cheng in his arrangements.
"Wait for me to take a good look at Yun Cheng's pamphlet!"
Any business that Yunsong has proposed or that he personally handles is likely to become his hiding place.
Now everyone in the capital knows that the emperor may not live long. He must be waiting for this day and will never leave the capital.
Therefore, we can definitely find the person from Yunsong’s memory.
She returned to her room and curled up on the couch, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes and began to flip through Yunsong's booklet.
[When he was thirteen years old, he completely caught Yun Cheng's eye. He went from being an errand boy to the youngest manager of the Yun family, and began to be in charge of two shops in the west of the city.]
[He doubled the revenue of the two shops in half a year. At the end of the year, when all the managers of the Yun family gathered together, he was the most successful manager of the year, bar none.]
[After that, Yun Cheng handed over all the shops in the west of the city to him out of trust. He lived up to expectations and doubled or even tripled or quadrupled the profits, becoming the number one manager among all the managers of the Yun family.]
[After this dazzling achievement, he no longer took over the Yun family's business, but wrote one plan after another, asking Yun Cheng to give him more rights to mobilize the Yun family's resources and money, and began to expand the territory for the Yun family. ]
[The Yun family's pharmacies and banks throughout Da Chu were founded by him, especially the Yun family pharmacy, which had long become a golden sign in the Jiangnan area.]
[The Yun Family Bank also became his private vault from which he could withdraw large amounts of money at any time. Over the years, he secretly cultivated personnel and bribed officials in the court and eunuchs and maids in the palace, all relying on the money in the bank and some of the businesses he managed privately.]
[However, even though he allowed the Yun family to take root in Jiangnan and firmly established himself as the top leader in secret, most of his energy was still focused on the capital.]
[After he returned to the capital, the first shop he opened was Ruyilou.]
[Afterwards, many more shops were opened near Ruyi Tower. These shops were ostensibly owned by the Yun family, but in private, he was the real master.]
[Yun Cheng has always been very clear about this, but his principles have always been to be confused. His two sons are far inferior to Yun Song in terms of business ability and understanding, so he does not want to lay everything out in the open.]
[As long as Yunsong can still protect the prosperity and wealth of their Yun family, he will not delve into anything.]
[It doesn't matter who the owner of the shop in Beijing is. As long as there is a symbolic amount of profit delivered to the Yun family's warehouse every year, he will not care about anything else.]
When Lu Xinran read this, he already had a vague sense of something in his heart.
She turned sideways to look at Lu Xinlan, and saw that she had the same expression.
“It’s Ruyi Tower!”
The two sisters blurted out the words in unison.
Ruyi Tower had been closed for several months, and everyone thought that it was already deserted, and they had believed so in the past.
But the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, especially for Yunsong, who is cautious by nature and likes to have three burrows.
There are many secret passages dug under Ruyi Building. If he really encounters danger, he can leave through the secret passages as before.
These secret passages that extend in all directions also make it convenient for him to collect information and transport food and supplies into the building.
"I will ask Ding San to look for Song Junyan now."
Yunsong is too cunning. Without a foolproof plan, it would be impossible to catch him.
Moreover, she had not been able to get all the useful information from his booklet about where the secret passages under Ruyi Building led to.
Song Junyan came back very quickly, and Lu Xinran seldom sent people to look for him. Once she did, it meant that she had made an important discovery but it was inconvenient for her to tell others about it.
However, he also had urgent matters to deal with, so when he came back, he brought Zhang Yongping to the Prince of Wei's Palace.
Zhang Yongping knew that Yunsong was someone they had revealed to her, so when facing her, Lu Xinran did not hide much and quickly told her about the discovery she had just made with Lu Xinlan.
"I entered the palace the day before yesterday and found that the emperor was extremely weak. We only have half a month at most. Yunsong has been too calm recently. It's not like what he has been doing all along. So before anything big happens, it would be best to deal with him first if possible."
Song Junyan and Zhang Yongping glanced at each other subconsciously, their minds all focused on the sentence that the emperor would not live more than half a month.
Zhong Rui and his troops are already on their way to the capital, but they have to hide during the day and move at night, so it will take at least ten days or half a month. Time... is a bit tight.
"Are you sure Yunsong is in Ruyi Tower?"
Zhang Yongping pondered, "I thought that before this, he might have been hiding in Ruyi Tower to observe the situation, but if Your Majesty really has not much time left, he is now..."
I'm afraid he has already found an opportunity to enter the palace and is lurking beside the emperor or the empress dowager, just waiting for the last moment to come.
