Wanqingsi

Chapter 199

After returning to the Hou Mansion, stepping into the gate, the righteous steward came up to him: "Young Madam, Second Young Master, you are back!"

"En." I replied lightly, seeing that he seemed to have something to say, "What's the matter?"

"Prince Ulei, the envoy of Yaoyue Kingdom, sent someone to send a gift to the young lady." Steward Yi said in a low voice, "I sent it to the young lady's room."

"Li?" I frowned and sighed in my heart. It seems that Ulei is about to launch his pursuit offensive. "Got it."

Turning my head to look at An Yuanxi, I drooped my eyelashes and said, "Thank you for your help last night, Uncle, I was tired all night, so go back to your room to rest earlier."

He looked at me quietly for a moment, and then said: "If there is anything I can help, sister-in-law just ask."

I looked up at him, speechless for a moment.When I was in Cangdu, I would discuss everything with him. No matter what novel ideas I thought of, he was the one who put them into practice in the end. Now that I think about it, I didn’t actually give An Yuanxi a share. Work, on the contrary, I depend on him for everything. At that time, I may not like his pedantry, but I always feel at ease when entrusting him to do things, because I actually trust him in my heart.And now, does the trust between us still exist?From the moment he left me inexplicably, he had his own secrets, secrets that he never wanted me to know, and myself, there were too many unspeakable secrets that could not be understood by outsiders. It's cautious, what trust are you talking about?An Yuanxi, what do you think?You know very well that even if we are a family now, it is impossible to return to the intimacy and trust of the past without any grudges. In fact, we are just strangers living under the same roof.

He seemed to understand something from my eyes, lowered his eyelids, concealed the unpredictable look in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm going back to my room first, sister-in-law..."

"Uncle, go slowly." I bowed, he turned and left expressionlessly, I sighed, and said to Tie Wei behind me: "Yun Gan, come with me."

Walking to the study room, I saw Yun Dui standing outside the door, and bowed slightly when he saw me: "Young Madam!"

"Come in and we'll talk." I stepped into the study first, did Shen Fan and Saikamen have any changes?I asked Yundui to arrange someone to watch the two of them. Now that Yundui is here, they must have something to do.

Leaving Yun Gan in the house, I dismissed the others. After I sat down, Yun Dui said to me: "Young Madam, the Emperor invited Madam Ji into the palace yesterday."

"Yesterday? What time was yesterday?" I frowned. It was reasonable for the emperor to send someone to invite Sai Kamen into the palace after releasing the news that General Ji was seriously injured.But, why did the emperor release the news that General Ji was injured?At such a time, if such news is released, the court must speculate more. If it falls into the ears of political opponents, wouldn't it be bad?Or, the emperor intentionally released such news, could it be true that General Ji was seriously injured?
"Yesterday evening, Mrs. Ji hired a carriage and wanted to go out of the city by herself, but was stopped by the emperor's people, please enter the palace." Yun Dui said.

"She wants to leave the city? Where does she want to go?" I said calmly, without any doubt that Yundui could give me the answer.

"Madam Ji said that she wanted to go to Guanyin Temple to offer incense." Yun Dui said.

"What about Yi Shenfan?" I lowered my eyelids and said softly.

"Young Master Yi left the city early yesterday morning, went to the Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city, sat there until dawn, and only returned home this morning." Yun Dui answered in detail.I looked up at him: "Young Master Yi, have you brought your luggage?"

"Yes." Yun Dui nodded, "Young Master Yi has brought a bag with him, and it's for Shili Pavilion on horseback."

I nodded: "Understood, you continue to let people stare at them, go out first."

Sai Kamen went out of the city to see Shen Fan, right?Is it to say goodbye?Still want to leave together?I'm afraid the latter one is probably the majority, if it's just saying goodbye, since Shen Wen has already decided to leave, why did he come back this morning?It must be because he didn't wait for Saikamen yesterday, and he came back because he knew that things had changed, right?
Saikamen descended to Jingyun, and had to hypnotize him beside him, in order to achieve the goal of controlling Jingyun quietly. She didn't complete her task, why did she want to leave in such a hurry?Could it be that he is really reluctant to let go of Yi Shen?She put in so much effort and lost her innocence to be able to get close to Ji Jingyun, so how could she spoil the arrangement for so long because of her children's affair?Could it be that something has changed?So Saikamen wants to leave?

Yun Dui exited the room, I looked at Yun Gan and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with that wound."

When I saw his expression during the autopsy yesterday, I knew that Wei Tongfeng's injury was not that simple.Yun Qiandao: "The knife wound on the bodyguard yesterday, there are obvious traces of frostbite on the wound. There is only one knife in the Jianghu. After wounding someone, it will cause such a wound."

"What kind of knife is it?" In fact, I already had a faint premonition in my heart. When Yun Gan said yesterday that almost no one in the world with a knife can beat General Ji, I had a little doubt. However, I I don't dare to think about it. If what I suspect is true, then this matter is too complicated and terrible.Could this be the change that Saikamen knew would happen?

"It's General Ji's Ice Soul Saber." Yun Gan's words confirmed my premonition, I closed my eyes, sure enough, sure enough... I guessed right.

"You mean, the injury on the Ouchi guard yesterday was caused by General Ji? Could it be that someone else has a similar weapon?" I asked, but I was sure of it in my heart.Yun Gan shook his head and said: "General Ji's Ice Soul Knife is a rare weapon in the world, and it is difficult for other weapons to imitate the wounds it creates, and the Ice Soul Knife is also known as the 'soul-suppressing knife'. The sword fought on the battlefield, killed countless enemies, and made countless contributions, the emperor allowed him to wear the sword in the palace, so the sword has never been separated from his body."

So no one else will take his knife to kill people. Could it be that my elder brother was really killed by General Ji?Why?What secret is hidden in this?What should I do if my elder brother is really killed by General Ji?Can I still swear that I will avenge him?
I'm glad that Wei Lanxue has left now, if her soul still lives in this body with me, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me to make a choice.I rubbed my forehead tiredly: "Yungan, you go out, I want to be quiet."

Remembering that the emperor wanted me to bring Duan Zhiyi into the palace today, I stopped rubbing my forehead.It seems that only one person can answer my doubts. If Brother Wei's death is really related to General Ji, he will always give me an explanation.

I called Xiaohong to come in, helped me back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, and then asked Duan Zhiyi to get dressed and prepare to enter the palace with me.After taking a shower, I sat in front of the dressing table and let Ning'er comb my hair. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the gift box on the table beside me: "Is that something from Prince Ulay?"
