Guo Changheng paused and continued, "She lost her mother when she was young and was raised by her father. Last month, her father fell seriously ill and passed away, leaving her alone. The blacksmith shop was also requisitioned by the rebels a long time ago.
Come to think of it, from a distance, she looks a bit like my mother. I originally arranged for someone to rescue her, but unfortunately they couldn't save her."
Guo Xuezhen was also silent for a long time before he said, "I am sorry for her. Let's prepare a good coffin and bury her with her father."
"Son has already given instructions, don't worry, father."
Guo Changheng continued, "Father, do you think the surviving woman knows where Zhao Lan is hiding?"
Guo Xuezhen said with a smile: "How could he know?" Guo Changheng remembered what the woman said when she begged for mercy from Zhao Lan. Since they were "husband and wife" and had given her body to Zhao Lan, she was in cahoots with Zhao Lan. What if he knew where Zhao Lan was hiding?
But as a grown man, he couldn't openly explain their relationship. He hesitantly said, "Their relationship is complicated. That woman must know a lot of Zhao Lan's secrets. When she wakes up, my son will go find out."
"Don't place too much hope on her. It's useless."
Guo Xuezhen sent his son away. He was not happy when he entered the city because too many innocent people had died and he was one of the culprits.
Of course, the person who should be blamed more is the traitor king Zhao Lan.
"Come here, send more people. We must find out the whereabouts of Zhao Lan and his group as soon as possible, as well as his wife and children. It is impossible for such a large group of people to escape far. Also pay close attention to the movements of the Mongolians and beware of Mongolian invasion." After giving the instructions, Guo Xuezhen sat at the desk again and wrote a memorial to the emperor.
The military report from Haicheng County was finally delivered to the palace.
After reading the victory report, Emperor Zhao laughed heartily.
"Those pirates are nothing but clowns, yet they dare to act so recklessly on our territory! They live by plundering and disregard the law. They are nothing but bandits trying to survive.
The Fuchen Kingdom has a shallow foundation and all it does is engage in scheming and intrigue behind the scenes. If it encounters my army, won’t it be driven back to the island?
Wei Ying is young and promising, I am very happy.
Heshi, quickly grind it. I want Wei Ying to pursue the victory and annihilate all those annoying pirates along the coast."
"I'll be right there."
Eunuch Heshi also laughed along with the emperor and began to grind carefully and quickly.
After the memorial was sent out of the palace, the emperor began to look forward to news from Guo Xuezhen again.
His wicked son must have been captured by Guo Xuezhen, right? He had issued an order that if Zhao Lan surrendered, he could be taken back to the capital to await his fate. If Zhao Lan refused to admit his fault and continued to resist, Guo Xuezhen could execute him in public.
Emperor Zhao was about to go to the harem when the sudden news made him furious.
"Say it to me again!"
The chief guard standing outside the Grand Prince's residence trembled as he said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Prince has suddenly contracted a stroke. He is now unable to speak and is convulsing all over. We urgently need a royal physician to come to the Grand Prince's residence."
The emperor only had three sons left in the capital: the eldest prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince. Although he disliked the eldest prince because of the incident with the former crown prince and had even taken back his title of prince, he had never thought of letting anything happen to Zhao Qing.
After all, Zhao Qing is his eldest son!
So the emperor quickly sent a royal physician and asked He Shi to go to the eldest prince's mansion in person.
The emperor suspected that the queen and others had murdered his eldest son.
When He Shi came back to report, the emperor simply swept all the memorials, writing materials, and other items on the desk in the imperial study to the ground.
"This evil creature! I don't have a son like him!"
What did he hear? He couldn't believe it!
