Chapter 648 My Wife Must Have a Solution

The mother and her two children waited for a whole afternoon, and when it was completely dark, Liu Ji and Awang finally came back.

The newly renovated Qin Mansion made the two men think they had taken the wrong road. The house was brightly lit and there was the aroma of food, which warmed their hearts just by looking at it.

Wan Xing Sanlang poked his head out from the gate, and the two men finally believed that this was the Qin Mansion and they had not taken the wrong road.

The fatigue from an afternoon of running around seemed to have mostly dissipated as soon as I walked into the bright door.

Seeing Qin Yao and the children waiting in the yard, Liu Ji could no longer hold back and his shoulders slumped in frustration.

"Why did you go out for the whole afternoon? Did you see your junior brother?" Qin Yao asked tentatively.

Awang nodded to Qin Yao and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and rice. After a busy day, his stomach was rumbling.

Liu Ji walked up to Qin Yao, hung his head and said, "Young Senior Brother is not in the capital right now. We only saw stones at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After some inquiries, we found out that they didn't even know that the teacher was seriously ill!"

Having said this, Liu Ji raised his head again, looking angry. How could junior brother be so careless?

What about the son of the prime minister? We lived in the same city, just a few streets away from each other, but he didn’t even know the teacher’s health condition.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise. The food had already been served on the table. Qin Yao motioned Liu Ji to wash his hands and talked while eating.

He hadn't eaten anything all afternoon, so he just drank a few cups of tea and had some cakes at noon. Liu Ji's stomach had been rumbling for a long time, so he nodded, went to the water tank to wash his hands, and went to the table to eat.

Although he was very hungry, he couldn't eat any more after just two bites. Liu Ji poked at the rice in an upset manner, "How could Junior Brother not be in the capital? He promised to take care of the teacher, but now that the teacher's life and death are in danger, he actually ran off to that stupid manor to meditate?"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He couldn't even eat a single bite of the meal.

Well, the main problem is that the food is a bit unpalatable, salty and old.

Yin Le silently watched his master's reaction, buried his head in his food and dared not say a word.

Fortunately, Sanlang and Awang were very considerate and gave us whatever we had to eat, especially the delicious Ma Ma.

Qin Yao first ate three bowls of rice to fill her stomach, then put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked Liu Ji what his next plan was.

Qi Xianguan is not in the capital, most likely because he has been arranged to go out by the old prime minister to avoid being caught up in the vortex of power struggle.

They had only been in the capital for two days when they witnessed a house raid. The tense atmosphere between the eldest princess and the Eastern Palace showed that the power struggle between the two sides had reached a fever pitch.

"Until the results come out, the old prime minister will not let Qi Xiangguan come back. The way he is going is blocked." Qin Yao stated the facts.

Liu Ji knew it very well, but he felt that his teacher was now in a desperate situation, and he couldn't help but complain out of anxiety.

"Madam!" Liu Ji suddenly looked at her seriously, "I must see the teacher!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands towards her, climbed onto her wrists, and blinked his peach blossom eyes pitifully, "My lady, you have great powers. I know you must have a way, right?"

"The teacher has done me a favor, and I said I would take care of him until the end of his life. Now he is an old man who can't even move and is locked up somewhere unknown. I don't know if he can eat or drink."

The more she talked, the more she was involved in the story. She was about to cry. Her peach blossom eyes were filled with water, the corners of her eyes were red, and she bit her red lips lightly. "I know I can't change anything. I just want the teacher to eat better and sleep warmer. It would be nice if I could talk to him for a few words. He must be lying in a cold little dark room now, waiting for me to see him."

Qin Yao looked at his expression and tears were about to fall. The more he talked, the more serious he became. It was really strange.

Perhaps for Liu Ji, Teacher Gong Liangliao was really different.

After all, for a person who has lived with doubts, distrust and abuse from others since childhood, for the first time, no matter what he does, he will not be despised. Not only will he not be despised, but the other party will also teach him everything he has learned in his life.

However, Qin Yao also had to remind Liu Ji that this capital city was not Kaiyang County where thieves could come and go freely.

"Do you know how many patrol guards there are between the various towns? To go to the Imperial Master's Mansion, you must cross the Yang River. There are several bridges on the river. Which one has the loosest guards? And how big is the Imperial Master's Mansion? Which one does the master live in? We know nothing at the moment." Qin Yao said calmly.

Liu Ji instantly felt hopeful, and he knew that his wife would definitely have a way!

"Awang and I will go check it out right away. We will go there early tomorrow morning!"

"Why don't you go after finishing your meal?" Liu Ji instantly felt hungry and picked up the bowl of rice to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Awang: “.” He wanted to know what kind of person he was.

Qin Yao's mouth twitched fiercely, and she gritted her teeth to remind someone: "It's curfew, and you can only move around within the market. If you go out now, you're simply courting death."

Liu Ji paused while eating, his sword-like eyebrows drooped, and the rice in the bowl no longer smelled good.

"Okay, let's go ask tomorrow morning, and once we've found out, we'll go find the teacher tonight, okay?"

Qin Yao couldn't help but flick his brain, "Is the only thing you can think of is visiting the Imperial Master's Mansion at night? What would happen if you visited in the daytime?"

Liu Ji raised his drooping eyebrows a little, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Qin Yao glared at the children and Yin Le when she found that they were all watching her and Liu Ji talking. She said, "Eat your meal, and don't eavesdrop on the adults' conversation!"

Everyone: “Oh.” They lowered their heads and ate obediently.

Qin Yao rolled her eyes at Liu Ji and said, "Let's talk in my room later."

Liu Ji's heart trembled. Talk in the room?

Awang was shocked and pointed at himself, "Me too?"

"You don't have to." Qin Yao didn't plan to let Awang show up. The risk was too great, and it would be safer for her to be alone.

Thinking of the masks the children bought today, Qin Yao tentatively suggested: "Awang, do you want to disguise your face?"

However, Awang felt that any disguise could be discovered, so it would be better to just walk on the street openly.

After all, after these years, only a few of his former colleagues are still alive.

"Madam, there are only two people who have seen my true face in the past."

One is the Prince of Feng in his fiefdom, and the other is the Holy Queen in the deep palace, so there is really no need for disguise.

The guards patrolling the streets of the capital city would be in even greater trouble if they encountered someone looking for trouble and suddenly wanted to check him and discovered his disguise.

Qin Yao thought about it and it made sense, "Forget it then."

As the saying goes, it is darkest under the lamp. Who could have thought that the escaped assassin would be so bold as to come back?

Even if King Feng is still sending people to hunt down Awang, this is the capital city and his minions cannot get in.

After dinner, because the adults at home had something to discuss, the children took the initiative to clean up the dishes, wipe the table, and then went back to the house.

Knowing that his wife had to rely on herself for her hope of seeing the teacher, Liu Ji turned into a hardworking little bee. He first prepared hot water for Qin Yao so that she could take a comfortable bath, and then helped her wash her clothes.

Finally, I cleaned myself up, burned some incense, and knocked on her door with a portion of trepidation, three portions of anticipation, and six portions of restraint, carrying the hot sugar water in my hand.
