Chapter 1943: Chapter 1881: Urgent Matters

When Wufu woke up, the bed beside her was empty, she reached out to touch the side, it was cold.

"Who is outside?"

Purple Jade walked in and saluted Wufu, "Princess Consort."

"Did the Prince not come back to sleep last night?" Wufu asked.

Purple Jade replied, "The study lamp was lit all night."

Wufu frowned, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Help me with my grooming."

Purple Jade responded, walked out to call for people, and the maids came in carrying various grooming supplies, assisting Wufu with washing and dressing.

"Send breakfast to the study, I’ll dine together with the Prince."

Purple Jade agreed, hurriedly took a large cloak with a hood, and said, "It’s very cold outside and it’s snowing, you should wear more."

Wufu let her put it on, walked out the door, sure enough, the sky was somewhat heavy, and snow was falling extravagantly.

She furrowed her brows, today was not suitable for worship, how could the Imperial Astronomical Observatory choose such a day.

Mo Lan took an oil-paper umbrella, held it over her head, shielding her from the heavy snow, escorting her to the study.

Inside the study, Ah Jiu was rubbing his brow, upon hearing footsteps, he looked up at Wufu and said, "Why did you come?"

Seeing his furrowed brows, Wufu deliberately said, "You didn’t return all night, leaving this Princess Consort alone, naturally I had to come to find my husband!"

Ah Jiu was amused by her, stood up and lightly tapped her nose, "You’re so playful!"

Wufu waved her hand backward, and the maids carrying food boxes quickly walked in, placing breakfast on the table, she pulled his hand to sit at the table.

Ah Jiu glanced at the table full of exquisite meals, smiled and said, "You came just in time, I’m hungry!"

Wufu personally served him a bowl of bird’s nest and shredded chicken porridge, placing it in front of him.

The two quietly finished their breakfast, each rinsed their mouths, and Wufu said, "You haven’t slept all night? Do you want to take a hot bath first and nap for a while?"

"There hasn’t been any news all night..."

Ah Jiu had just started speaking when they heard Yuan Ye’s voice outside asking Xiao Li, "Is the Prince inside?"

"Come in and report." Ah Jiu straightened up.

Yuan Ye hurriedly walked in, hastily saluted the two, face looking anxious, "Prince, we’ve checked, the city fireworks, although purchased by different people, all ultimately flowed to a person named Liu Tian at West City Yuqian Hutong, Guizi Alley. My subordinates got there, but it’s empty."

Ah Jiu’s face darkened, "Has that place been searched?"

"Searched, and even found some gunpowder on the beams." That was also why Yuan Ye was so anxious.

"Found on the beams, that likely means there was too much stuff stored." Wufu interjected, the beams are so high, if it touched them, then it must be stacked high.

She furrowed her brows, fireworks are made with gunpowder, so much fireworks gunpowder, could it really be as she thought, to bomb something?

Ah Jiu thought of the same point, "Immediately track the destination of these fireworks." Pausing, he added, "Check towards Imperial Jue Temple."

"Prince, the Emperor’s entourage has already headed towards Imperial Jue Temple!" A Grey Shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air, half-kneeling to report.

Ah Jiu stood up abruptly, his lips pressed into a straight line.

"Investigate Imperial Jue Temple’s movements, arrest all suspicious persons!" After a while, he ordered through gritted teeth.

"Yes." Grey Shadow exited.

Ah Jiu then said to Yuan Ye, "Have the director of the Imperial City Division come to see me."

He had to prepare for the worst case scenario, if things turn out as he feared with great changes, then it’s time to prepare for a rescue.
