There were a few voices outside the carriage. "It's so late, Mr. Chu is still not resting? Are you not used to sleeping in the wilderness?" Xu You's voice always had a lazy smile. "It's so late, isn't the young Marquis still resting?" Chu Yanze's tone was still gentle and polite. "Me? I'm different! Before going out, Lao Xue told me again and again that my sister-in-law's safety is entirely my responsibility, but I don't dare to be careless at all. Otherwise... Lao Xue is a very scary person, especially It's about my sister-in-law, if anything goes wrong, he's afraid he could kill me." Xu You was still smiling, and his tone was half-truthful. "I just came here to see Mrs. Xue on something. I saw that the lights were still on in the carriage, so I came to take a look." Xu Huaian was as slippery as a loach, and it was always difficult to tell the truth from what he said, and Chu Yanze did not want to tangle with him anymore. Looking past him, he looked at the carriage with faint light not far away. In the carriage, Mingyi had rolled up the map, put it back in the cage and locked it. She straightened her clothes and got out of the carriage, "What's the matter, Mr. Chu?" Hearing her voice, both Chu and Xu turned their heads to look. She was wearing a simple light-colored dress, standing in the endless dark night, with a faint expression on her face, which was bright and cold. Chu Yanze closed his eyes, bowed his hands and said, "Madam, a weak woman, why should she travel on a starry night and sleep in the wilderness at night? It is better to live comfortably in a post station or an inn." "It turns out it's for this. I'm eager to return home, but I don't feel it's hard. If Mr. Chu feels that the journey is hard, there is no need to force him to go with us. As for why we are in a hurry, doesn't Mr. Chu know it well? Oh! Yes, with the close personal relationship between Mr. Chu and the Third Young Master of Wei, even if Wangjing falls, not only will everything in the Chu family be fine, but Mr. Chu will also become a prosperous person. Thinking about it this way, Mr. Chu would rather not go with us. That's good. Otherwise, if Mr. Chu makes some random mistakes on the way and deliberately delays my trip, where can I go to explain it to him?" After Mingyi said that, she glanced at Chu Yanze coldly and turned around, " It’s late at night and I have to get up early tomorrow to go on the road. I’m not as energetic as Mr. Chu, so I have to go to bed first. Sorry!”
By the time he finished speaking, the person had already gotten into the carriage. Xu You waved the folding fan in front of her chest and said with an apologetic smile, "My sister-in-law has just separated from Lao Xue, and she is feeling miserable. Now she speaks more rudely. Mr. Chu, please bear with me! It's inconvenient on this road, please wait. Now that I have to go back to Wangjing, I will serve Mr. Chu a meal of apology on behalf of Old Xue, and Mr. Chu will definitely reward you with a favor!" Are you being rude? Chu Yanze sighed. She had never been polite when speaking to him. No, it happened. She was even a little afraid of him at first. When did you stop being afraid? Chu Yanze remembered in a daze that since Xue Lin appeared, she seemed to have a backer and confidence. Now she is more and more fearless, and even has a somewhat lawless attitude. Xue Lin is naturally her confidence, but Mingyi is not fearless because of him, but after many things, she understands more and more that only by standing up on her own can she control her own destiny, and even protect the people she wants to protect. Everything means that this time is not in vain. Mingyi said he was going to sleep, but he couldn't sleep for a while. He rummaged through the box that Fu Mingyi had locked up. Except for the bamboo wind chime hanging under the eaves of the east wing of the inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, everything else was here. . Before looking at the map, Mingyi had already rummaged through the things inside. Most of them were things that little girls played with when they were young. There were rattles with peeling paint, cloth tigers that had been washed white, tops, and bamboo. The dragonflies...are all old things. Other than that, nothing else can be seen. Mingyi sighed, finally closed the box, opened the curtain and looked out. The night outside was like ink, and the sky was full of stars. I wonder if the night in Beiguan was the same tonight. Xue Lin is doing something again, has he stopped? Holding the box, she leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes gently. She only thought about getting to Wangjing as soon as possible, finishing what she had to do, and then leaving early and returning early. This night in Wangjing City was sleepless for many people. At nightfall, water accidentally leaked into the courtyard of the Wangjing Palace of the Prince of Southern Hunan. It had not rained in Wangjing for more than half a month, but it was enjoying the autumn sunshine and the wind. It was the time when the weather was dry and the fire started. spread rapidly. It took a long time before the fire was extinguished, but most of the huge courtyard had been burned. Several burnt corpses were carried out from the charred and decayed ruins. Among them, one had a mutton-fat white jade pine and crane ring hanging from his waist. Wei Xuanzhi owns it. At this time, the fire was extinguished, but the entire street where the other courtyard was located was closely guarded by Jinwu Guards. The intact cross-courtyard of the other courtyard had been cleared away and was heavily guarded. The body was carried into the courtyard. Yu Jin, the commander of the Jinwu Guards in armor, strode over and was led into the hall by Waiter Xu who was waiting outside the hall door. Apart from Emperor Chongning, there would naturally be no other person in this hall who could allow Yu Jin and Chamberlain Xu to serve them so cautiously. When Yu Jin finished his reply, Emperor Chongning had not yet spoken. A young man in brocade clothes beside him had already said, "I just reported to the emperor that the identity of Wei Xuanzhi in this other courtyard may be different. There has been a rise in this other courtyard." Fire, now people are burned beyond recognition. There is no proof whether he is true or false. Isn't this a coincidence? If there is nothing strange in this, who would believe it? I think they are obviously guilty of committing crimes. Uncle Emperor, it seems like this , Shonan, we need to be more prepared!" Naturally, there is only one person who can call Emperor Chongning his uncle, and the young man in brocade is not a real young man. There is a scar on his beautiful cheek, and the white jade is slightly flawless, but it still makes people dare not look at him. After all, that is the most dazzling person in Wangjing City. My pearl, Princess Changning! She received a letter from Mingyi this morning, saying that she had met someone suspected of being Wei Xuazhi in Beiguan, and that the person was also colluding with the Beidi people. She was afraid that he was planning something evil, so she asked her to find a way to tell the emperor's uncle secretly, and finally So that we can find out whether Wei Xuanzhi in Wangjing is himself. Wei Xuanzhi said a month ago that he had a rash, which means he was sick at home. He had not appeared for a long time. The more Li Fengjiao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she hurriedly entered the palace to report the matter to Emperor Chongning. She happened to be right next to Emperor Chongning when someone came to report that there was a leak in the palace of the Prince of Southern Hunan. Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongning paid so much attention to it that he actually wanted to come in person. Naturally, Li Fengjiao insisted on following. Who knows, this fire will burn cleanly. Emperor Chongning's expression had not been good since he heard about the fire in the palace of the Prince of Southern Hunan, and now he looked even worse. Naturally, he knew what Li Fengjiao said. What he was more worried about was that, whether it was true or false, Wei Xuazhi was dead. If Xiangnan really had different intentions, he would be famous for his master. Emperor Chongning's face was livid, but his thoughts were racing. "I am deeply saddened by the news that the third son of Wei died in the fire. I feel sorry for the King of Southern Hunan. I have decided to pray for the third son of Wei to be a vegetarian for half a month, and let the Ministry of Etiquette arrange the funeral ceremony. I want to give Wei a grand burial." Third Young Master." After pondering for a moment, Emperor Chongning made a decision, "Hurry!"
The last two words made Yu Jin's expression tighten, he clasped his fists and said "yes" before taking the order and leaving. Emperor Chongning breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Xuan knew that if this person could really escape to Beiguan quietly and collude with the Beidi people, but he had pretended to be harmless in front of him before, it would be a disaster. In this case, no matter what Whether the charred corpse was real or fake, he would die completely. Even if Shonan wanted to become famous as a teacher, he couldn't sit still and wait for death. It's not too late to make up for the hopes that Yu Jin just announced! Fortunately, he was not completely unprepared. Speaking of this, he would also like to thank Mingyi for reminding him. Thinking of Mingyi, his heart moved slightly. He turned around and saw that Li Fengjiao also had a startled look on his face, "Uncle Huang, tell me, did Mingyi already know that Xiangnan had an affair?" "Maybe! That child Yun'an is more sensitive than ordinary people." "Yes, it would be great if she was here. She will definitely be able to help Uncle Huang, unlike me..." Li Fengjiao sighed. "Gillian misses Yun'an?" Emperor Chongning asked with a smile. "Yes." Li Fengjiao nodded, she really missed Mingyi. Especially at this time. She grew up in the palace, so she is not really stupid. In the current situation, the storm is about to come, and the great Zhou Dynasty may be in chaos. She was a little scared, but if Mingyi was here, maybe she wouldn't be scared, right? Emperor Chongning smiled and said, "Then I have good news for you. Yun An is going back to Wangjing." He and Xue Lin had their own channels for exchanging news, which was faster and safer. Just before Li Fengjiao entered the palace, he had just collected When Xue Lin received the news, he knew about the suspicion of Wei Xunzhi earlier than Li Fengjiao. However, I didn't expect that they would cut down their wages. "Really?" Li Fengjiao was stunned by the good news from Emperor Chongning and laughed excitedly, "That's great! I'm going to tell A'qiang now. I don't know how long it will take for Mingyi to come back. I have to prepare her what she likes to eat..." Seeing Li Fengjiao fly away happily like a butterfly, Emperor Chongning raised the corner of his mouth lightly. Only Gillian's smile could give him a little light in the gloom that was about to envelope the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Will be fine! He thought, although it was only a little bit, the light would eventually clear away the gloom! (End of this chapter)
