Chapter 253 What If Gu Zhan Can't Come Back?(1/2)

Yang Pan'er returned to the palace overnight, and Wei Feng got the news soon.

The spy came over to report, and it was already the second update.

Luo Zhang, another guard who was temporarily affixed to the Qi family, came over and was also worried about his actions of obeying Qi Huan's instructions: "Do you want to write to the prince to report these things? He treated Miss Qi as his eyes. If there is anything wrong with acting rashly, he can't explain it."

main--

This is not a small fuss.

In the battle with the Right Censor's Office, a powerful minister from the first rank joined forces with an imperial concubine. Even Gu Zhan would find it difficult in Kyoto.

"Are you not afraid of this little aunt who can do something if you do it?" Wei Feng was at a loss and glared at him, "But the situation in the southern border is unstable now, and the situation of the prince is not optimistic there. Even if he reports on his situation, he will still be distracted if others cannot come back and are anxious. It may be more than worth the loss at that time."

Luo Zhang scratched his head: "What should I do?"

Wei Feng sighed: "Just do your best and keep a close eye on everything you need. It really doesn't work..."

He gritted his teeth and made a decision: "If it's really not good, isn't the Queen there? No matter how big the chaos occurs, with the Queen supporting him in the end, Miss Qi's life will be safe. As long as the person is fine, I will just go back and wait for the prince to come back to deal with it."

This is to comfort your companions, but in fact, isn’t it just a cheer for yourself?

Gu Zhan deliberately kept them in Beijing to take care of Qi Huan, so they had to do their best no matter what, and dared not have any negligence or slackness.

Can--

Everyone has selfish intentions. They are all confidants cultivated by Gu Zhan. If they have to make a choice between Gu Zhan and Qi Huan, they must also be partial and must first take care of Gu Zhan's safety.

Therefore, at this critical moment, no one dared to report the news from the capital to Gu Zhan casually, so that he would be distracted even if he was far away.

Wei Feng knew that Gu Zhan valued Qi Huan. Because of his selfishness, he felt that he could not bear to him from the bottom of his heart, so he could only listen to Qi Huan's instructions more carefully and do things for her.

Seeing that he was leaving the yard and going to the backyard, Luo Zhang hurriedly called him: "It's already this time, what are you doing?"

Wei Feng said: "Since the young lady gave her a special order, I will go and tell her if I have a reply."

"But it's already this time..."

Before Luo Zhang could finish his words, he saw that Wei Feng had already walked away, so he stopped talking in disappointment.

After nightfall, there is no urgent matter. Guards are usually confined to the front yard and the access control in the back yard is very strict.

Wei Feng passed by and was stopped by the old woman guarding the gate at Qixia Garden.

He didn't go in, just said he wanted to find Xingluo.

Most of the Qixia Garden are from Yang's own people, so they are very dedicated to the people and things related to Qi Huan. The woman sent someone to call Xingluo without saying a word.

After Wei Feng passed the news, he returned to the front yard to rest.

Qi Huan washed her hair at night. Now that her hair is not dry, she just rubbed her hair and had not yet rested.

When Xingluo came back, Yun Xi had already returned to the next study room to make a bed and prepare to go to bed. When she saw that there was no outsider in the room, she truthfully relayed Wei Feng's news: "Wei Feng said that the spy who was following the right Censor's Office sent a message. The fifth lady from his family called Yang Paner back to the palace overnight. He felt that the other party was so anxious that it was very likely that he had some instructions from the family. The spy would continue to stare at the subsequent movements and report to you if there was any progress."

Qi Huan whispered a soft smile while tugging his hair with a veil: "He is doing this with care."

Xing Luo couldn't hide his worries on his face and hesitated: "Miss, don't you really plan to discuss with your wife first?"

Qi Huan shrugged: "There is nothing to discuss. If someone wants to use a trick, will he discuss it with his mother in advance? Moreover, I am also a daughter of an official family, and they are not robbers. I can't just use a knife to cut me down. If you want to defeat me, you must take the official path. No matter what crime you are committing, with the Queen here, you won't even give me a chance to prove your innocence and tell them to just take their lives casually, right?"

"That's what I said..." Xing Luo knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he stammered for a few times and had to give up.

It rained a little in the middle of the night this day, and there was no wind when I woke up the next day. The sun steamed the moisture on the ground...

It's really hot.

Qi Huan was sweating again as soon as she got up. She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't even go to Anxuetang for breakfast, so she asked someone to go to the ice cellar to dig ice to cool off the heat.

She put the ice basin on this side and took some broken ice cubes to tinker with some fruits, but Qi Yuanchen came in from outside the yard with two short legs.

Still no one is allowed to carry it, and I walk over it by myself.

Following him, Mother Liu and a maid were following him, carrying a food box in his hand.

Qi Huan quickly put down the fruit and waved to the little thing: "The weather is so hot, why are you still coming here?"

Qi Yuanchen stepped over the high threshold, held the door frame, and came directly in front of her obediently.

The little face looked like water was washed, and there was a lot of sweat.

On this hot day, Yang tried to wear as little clothes as possible, but for the sake of decent appearance, he still wore two layers.

At this time, the collar of his outer robe was wet.

"Look at the look of sweat running." Xingluo took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.

Qi Huan had already unbuttoned the buttons and took off the round-neck robe he was wearing outside.

"No." Qi Yuanchen made a chastity and immediately protected himself and retreated.

"What are you afraid of when you are a child?" Qi Huan forced him back, but took off his outer robe. "If you wear a cloak in the house, be careful of heatstroke."

Qi Yuanchen should be really so hot that she didn't strip her naked, so she didn't feel pretentious anymore.

Qi Huan picked up the round fan on the table and fanned him while wiping his sweat.

At this time, the mother Liu and the other two came in with food boxes and said with a smile: "When the weather is hot, my wife guesses that you will hide from the heat and are too lazy to eat. The young master just yelled to come over, so my wife asked me to pack up a food box. If you have a bad appetite, you can take a few bites. Don't starve your stomach."

Qi Yuanchen didn't eat any rice, so Qi Huan reluctantly gave it to him.

In this weather, Qi Yuanchen's appetite was not very good, and the siblings both took advantage of the two of them.

As soon as Yun Xi led his men to put away the table, the Wei Feng appeared again outside the yard.

It was hot today, so Qi Huan drove everyone in the yard back to escape the heat. Now her room was served by Xingluo and Yunxi.

"Miss..." Xing Luo saw Wei Feng in a low voice and reminded Qi Huan.

Qi Huan followed her gaze and nodded to the outside: "Come in."

Wei Feng was summoned and entered the yard.

After walking all the way, he was sweating profusely. He still abides by the rules and does not enter Qi Huan's house, but stands under the corridor at the door.

"Is there news again?" Qi Huan wiped Qi Yuanchen's hands with a wet veil and asked him casually.

Wei Feng hesitated and looked at Qi Yuanchen, thinking that he was just an ignorant child, so he immediately regained his mind and bowed, "Yes. When Concubine Wen went to Fengming Palace to pay his respects to the Empress, saying that it was the birthday of Mrs. Yang yesterday that she could not return home to celebrate her birthday, so she asked for grace from the Empress... She had just sent someone to the Censor's Mansion to pick up Mrs. Yang into the palace to reunite."

Qi Huan smiled and said that he knew: "It would be good for them to move, otherwise I would have run away yesterday."

Wei Feng looked up at her and waited for her follow-up instructions.

Qi Huan said, "Just keep watching their movements, and there is still news to me in time!"

Wei Feng also wished her not to cause trouble.

Seeing that she was still asking her to follow her, she felt relieved and stepped down respectfully.

Qi Huan withdrew his gaze and gave Qi Yuanchen the iced fruit to eat, while coaxing him: "Don't eat too much, your child will easily be unhealthy."

Qi Yuanchen buried his head and ate quietly and obediently. He must have not cared about what she and Wei Feng said at all.

Ning entered the palace, and he just kept it for lunch that day and left the palace and returned home.

After that, both the Wenfei's bedroom and the Right Censor's Office were as quiet as a chicken, and then they fell silent, without any subsequent movement.

The climate heat wave lasted only two days, and then a light rain came with the first solar term of autumn.

On the day of the beginning of autumn, the Great Journey Festival has the custom of worshiping the Five Emperors.

The festival was set in the previous dynasty. Although the harem was not involved, the queen would preside over the ceremony of bringing the royal family to hold a Autumn Welcoming ceremony, which echoed the previous dynasty.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Qi Huan, but Queen Gu has taken special care of her recently, so she specially ordered her to enter the palace.

Qi Huan understands her intention-

First, it shows the family’s position, and second, it probably also helps her broaden her horizons and gain insight.

Qi Huan stayed at home without any trouble. It just so happened that the weather was not that hot, so she dressed up.

On this day, Empress Gu was still preparing to pick up the people whom she had prepared for a ready-made car. Qi Huan learned his lesson this time and went on a trip alone without taking his maid.

The time when the ritual ceremony of the previous dynasty and the harem ceremony began is the same, and they are both auspicious times calculated by the Imperial Heaven.

The carriage Qi Huan was in went to the harem and wanted to pass by near the palace gate of the previous dynasty. By chance, he was crowded with the officials who walked into the palace to attend the ceremony.

When the carriage turned over an intersection, another carriage that they were fighting for the road came from another street.

The street in front is the main street, and even if two carriages run in parallel, they will not collide.

The person in the car next to him saw that it was Eunuch Jia who was personally leading the carriage to guard the carriage. He was very curious and looked out from the window to ask: "Eunuch Jia, today's autumn, there are also rituals in the harem. Why did you go out of the palace at this time if you are not in the palace and help your mother? Who is sitting in the car?"

Qi Huan was sitting in the carriage, and he didn't intend to show up in public, but—

The sound was so familiar that she felt so irritable that she frowned.

Outside, Eunuch Jia's answer was cold and simple: "It is the wife of the prospective prince of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion. The empress ordered the slave to take her into the palace to attend the ceremony."

Then--

The person on the other side immediately fell silent and had no more words.

Qi Huan didn't expect to meet Yun Zheng on a narrow road, but by chance he met again.

However, the festivals in the previous dynasty today are a major event, praying for good weather, peace and prosperity, and for good luck, it has nothing to do with the government.
