Chapter 144 Things are coming to an end

Jinxiu Pavilion of Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

I saw Yun Shang's voice getting softer and softer, and her head lowering lower and lower. Oh no! Did I do something bad? I cheated my master!

I heard Yun Shang continue to say immediately: "Miss, the master has no choice. Last time you suddenly fell ill, you had to bypass several people before you could send the news to the master. The master was also worried about you, so he thought of digging this thread."

Secret passage."

"Miss, you sir, please don't be angry with your master!"

"Miss, every time Yun Shang wants to discuss something with you now, she has to dress up in disguise and find various reasons before she can enter the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. It's very hard, please pity Yun Shang!"

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly after hearing this: "That's all, let's dig, there will be less noise."

At this moment, Yun Shang was granted amnesty, and she quickly bowed and said: "The eldest lady is wise!"

·······

On the official road from Yunzhou to the imperial capital.

At this moment, in a royal carriage, Dugu Yan was holding a tea cup in his hand, but he didn't move for a moment, with doubts in his eyes... Why has so many days passed, and there is still no more nonsense? Haotian

Didn't you go?

Impossible! Haotian clearly promised me! No, this opportunity cannot be missed! I have to find a chance to go back to my hometown, convince my brother first, and jointly submit the memorial.

Maybe Haotian was just delayed because of something. Maybe when his brother jointly submitted the memorial, the opinions of all parties would be spread back to the imperial capital.

Although my brother set off later than me, he is riding a horse and may arrive in the imperial capital soon. Yes, I have to find my brother first.

One by one they shouted: "Qiao'er."

"Hey... Your Majesty." Qiao'er outside the carriage heard the sound and shouted, "Stop the car."

"Yes, Miss Qiao'er." The guard driving the carriage responded, then he stopped the carriage and stepped aside to wait.

Several royal carriages also stopped immediately...

Qiaoer got into the carriage, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Just listen to Dugu Yan say: "Qiao'er, you will tell everyone later that before entering the palace, everyone will go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the people of Yunzhou."

"Let the guards send someone to send a letter to the emperor, saying that I will lead all the concubines to pray for the people of Yunzhou for three days at Xiangguo Temple, and ask for the emperor's permission."

Hearing this, Qiao'er had doubts in his eyes, and then he bowed and replied, "Yes, Madam, I understand." Zhu turned around and walked out of the carriage.

After a long time, Qiaoerfang finished conveying the order and shouted again: "Let's set off..."

Several royal carriages continue to move forward slowly...

At this moment, in the second royal carriage, Concubine Su Miaowan could only be heard saying softly: "Xiaoyu, do you know why this virtuous concubine suddenly went to Xiangguo Temple to pray?"

Xiaoyu, the maid on the side, heard the words and replied softly: "Go back to your concubine, I don't know. When I was chatting with Qiaoer at the inn, I didn't hear her say anything about this matter. Did Concubine Xian suddenly want to go?"

When Concubine Su heard this, she immediately sneered and said softly: "It seems that Concubine Xian wants to add to her achievements in disaster relief!"

Upon hearing this, the maid Xiaoyu said softly: "Your Majesty, you are right. We are in Yunzhou to provide disaster relief this time. The people all know that it was the Concubine Xian who asked her to lead the harem to provide relief."

"Now, if you go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, it will add to your virtuous reputation."

Concubine Su nodded and continued: "Yes, let's see how the situation will change after returning to the imperial capital."

At this moment, in the fifth carriage, Xue Jieyu was wandering in her thoughts... Why did Concubine Xian suddenly want to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray? Is it really just to pray?

······

At night, at a certain post station from Yunzhou to the Imperial Capital.

At this moment, in a wing room, Dugu Ziyan was seen gazing at the starry sky under the night outside the window, quietly...

After a while, Du Chuan came in with a meal and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal."

"Okay." Duguzi responded, but made no move, still looking out the window quietly...

When Du Chuan saw it, Fang stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about the young lady?"

After a moment, Dugu Ziyan said slowly: "Du Chuan, do you think Yan'er will understand?"

When Du Chuan heard this, there was helplessness in his eyes, and he bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, one day the young lady will understand that you are doing it for her own good."

I saw helplessness in Dugu Ziyan's eyes, and continued: "But after all, it didn't go as she wished. This knot is trapping her in the end. How can I make her let go!"

"Prince." Du Chuan called helplessly.

At this moment, Du Chuan didn't know what to say, and the two of them just looked out the window quietly...

After a long time, "knock...knock..." a man's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Du Chuan was startled: "Why is Sikong here?" Zhu turned around and hurriedly walked to open the door.

I saw a man in dark, well-dressed clothes walk in, nodded towards Du Chuan, walked towards Dugu Ziyan, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

At this moment, Dugu Ziyan had doubts in his eyes and asked, "Sikong, what's wrong?"

Sikong bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, what you asked your subordinates to investigate before has become clear."

······

Antecedents.

Dugu Ziyan's study room in the Marquis of Wending's Mansion.

I saw Du Chuan bowing and reporting back: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao has left the palace and returned to her home."...

Dugu Ziyan shook his head and replied: "I'm fine. I'm just a little worried about Yan'er being tricked by the emperor without knowing it."

Du Chuan asked again: "Prince, what do you mean?"

Dugu Ziyan said slowly: "Du Chuan, don't forget the night attack that just happened. Especially the Laishun Tavern, which is near the Honglu Pavilion. There are many things going on here that we don't know. But this one

It’s time to summon Xiao Jinxi into the palace.”

"Your Majesty, what can we do?" Du Chuan asked.

After a while, Dugu Ziyan said again: "Check, check these two night attacks."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will inform Xu Yan later." Du Chuan replied.

Dugu Ziyan shook his head and said, "No, Xu Yan has a lot of things to do now. Let's inform Sikong and ask him to come back in time."

"Yes, Master, I understand." Du Chuan bowed and retreated.

······

Dugu Ziyan frowned for a moment and asked, "How? What did you find out?"

Sikong bowed and handed over a letter and said: "Your Majesty, take a look, this is the itinerary of the man from Honglu Hall on the day he was raided."

Dugu Ziyan took the letter and looked at it doubtfully...

Just listen to Sikong continue to say: "Your Majesty, my subordinates secretly found the clerk of Juxiangzhai that day. I heard that this man bought rice dumplings and Wudu cakes that day, and after the man walked out of the shop, there was a little beggar.

I ran into the store, hung out on the shelf where these two things were, and then ran out again."
