The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Chapter 257 Wu's IQ Soars

It's late at night and everything is silent.

The light was still on in the room of the second mistress, Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu lay quietly on the bed, and suddenly her brows furrowed, as if she was in a nightmare. Then her lips gradually turned pale, and big drops of sweat slid down her forehead.

“No…don’t…no!”

Mrs. Wu suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and gasped for breath.

As if she had thought of something, she threw back the quilt and shouted, "Someone! Someone! Is there anyone here?"

But no one answered.

Mrs. Wu propped herself up and got up from the ground, casually put on her shoes, and staggered towards the door.

"Someone come quickly——"

As soon as Wu opened the door, an old face appeared in her eyes, making her screams blocked in her throat.

"……mother?"

The old lady looked at her gravely. The nanny beside her pushed Mrs. Wu away, helped the old lady inside, and sat on the main seat in the outer room.

"What are you doing yelling in the middle of the night?"

A slightly vicissitudes of life voice came from inside, and Wu suddenly came back to her senses.

Then, without even closing the door, he turned around, took a few big steps, and threw himself in front of the old lady's knees, looking at the old lady as if he were looking at a life-saving Bodhisattva.

Wu said in a mournful voice, "Mother! Mother, please save Sister Fu! Sister Yi is trying to harm Sister Fu. She's almost dead!"

"No...or maybe Sister Yi has killed Sister Fu! Mother! You have to make the decision for Sister Fu!"

The old lady looked at Wu, who was talking incoherently and acting like a mad woman. Her eyes flickered and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Sister Fu is living well in Prince An's mansion. What could possibly happen to her?"

"What's more, even if Sister Fu got into trouble, Prince An's Mansion would send someone to inform us."

"First, you haven't seen Sister Fu, and second, you haven't received any notification from Prince An's Mansion. What are you doing here making random guesses?"

"No, no!" Wu clutched the old lady's clothes like a lifeline. "Mother, it's Yi Jie'er. I saw it! I saw blood on Yi Jie'er's clothes!"

She had sent people to keep an eye on Zhou Lingyi for several days. Today, after Zhou Lingyi left the Bo Mansion, he went into the Prince Rui's Mansion and stayed there for a long time.

That bloodstain could only have been stained in Prince An's Mansion.

But everything was fine. Prince An had gone to war and was not in Prince An’s Mansion. Why did Zhou Lingyi go to Prince An’s Mansion?

Furthermore, why was Zhou Lingyi's skirt stained with blood in Prince An's Mansion?

Unless she tortured other people in Prince An's Mansion.

But if a servant had just offended Zhou Lingyi and he had been tortured, how could Zhou Lingyi have been implicated?

Then there is only one possibility, that is, Zhou Lingyi was always there during the execution.

Mrs. Wu didn't think that Zhou Lingyi would have the heart to stand by and watch a slave being punished.

The person who is punished must be someone Zhou Lingyi knows, or someone she hates.

Although the concubines in Prince An's mansion were of low status, they were all maids of Concubine Zhou and were awarded to Prince An by Concubine Zhou.

Zhou Lingyi hadn't even entered Prince An's Mansion yet, so naturally he didn't dare punish the people sent by the Imperial Concubine to the Mansion. That would be a slap in the face of Imperial Concubine Zhou in public.

After eliminating them one by one, the only possibility left was her sister Fu.

Although Fu Jie'er's status is a concubine, it is higher than those concubines awarded by Concubine Zhou, and with the support of the Yongning Earl's Mansion, those concubines dare not do anything to Fu Jie'er.

But these were nothing in Zhou Lingyi's eyes. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, so naturally she did not take Fu Jie'er seriously.

If something really happened, the lesser of two options would be chosen, and the one the Bo Mansion would protect would be Zhou Lingyi.

Moreover, Zhou Lingyi had sufficient reasons to harm Fu Jie'er. Only Fu Jie'er had made an enemy of her, and she must still be holding a grudge against Fu Jie'er for entering Prince An's Mansion.

That must be it!

So she couldn't contact Sister Fu at all. It must be Zhou Lingyi who did something about it.

She was so stupid that she couldn't get in touch with him and went to ask Zhou Lingyi for help!

It has to be said that a mother is strong. When it comes to Zhou Lingfu's life, Wu's sensitivity is terrifyingly strong. Even her IQ, which has always been very low in the eyes of the old lady, has suddenly increased a lot.

The old lady listened to Wu's speculation and looked at Wu crying bitterly, and her eyes changed again and again.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "How can you make such a wild guess about Sister Yi based on just one look at her clothes? You can't contact Sister Fu, perhaps because Prince An's Mansion has strict controls."

"No matter how strict we are, there won't be no news at all. Mother, please believe me, Sister Fu must have had an accident. The last time we had any news about her was when she had a miscarriage..."

Seeing the old lady's gloomy expression, Wu touched her face and choked up, "Mother, if you don't believe me, how about this? Let me see Sister Fu. If Sister Fu is okay, I... I will personally apologize to Sister Yi and say I wronged her."

The old lady refused, "Nonsense! Prince An is not in the capital right now. How can you just barge into Prince An's mansion without permission?"

"Mother...then...how about this? You write a letter to the Imperial Concubine in the palace, asking her to let me see Sister Fu because I miss her so much."

"It doesn't matter if you don't enter Prince An's Mansion. Just let Sister Fu stand at the door. I'll watch from a distance and won't get close. I just want to make sure she's safe."

The old lady's eyes were also somewhat moved, but she quickly suppressed it, "The Imperial Concubine's decision is not something we can manipulate."

"Mother, you are also the mother of the Empress. Others may say no, but if you ask the Imperial Concubine, she will definitely agree." Wu looked at the old lady with hope in her eyes.

The old lady refused in a cold voice: "No!"

"Why? Why not?" Wu asked, but the old lady did not answer her.

Wu couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She looked at the old lady's expressionless face, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she blurted out:

"Do you know what Sister Yi did to Sister Fu?"
