Chapter 331 I hope you are safe
Mr. and Mrs. Nangong looked at their son's serious expression and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Alas, is this still the son who ran home crying after being robbed by bandits?
Some people can't believe it.
Xiao Chengjin looked at the worried faces of the people and said comfortingly, "Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry. Jin'er will take care of this matter."
The people of the Nangong family knew that they had made the decision, so they didn't say anything more.
The old man sighed and said, "No matter what decision you make, we will support you."
"Grandfather just wants you to be safe and sound."
Jiang Ruo curled her lips slightly, "Don't worry, Grandfather, once things are settled, I will bring you all back to the capital."
The little phoenix also spoke up to comfort him, "Grandfather, I can breathe fire. If anyone doesn't behave himself, I'll spit fire at him."
"I will protect my sister."
The sensible and cute little phoenix has received another wave of praise.
When Mu Wange heard that Jiang Ruo had arrived, she hurried to the front hall holding the third child.
When she saw the little phoenix standing by Jiang Ruo, she was so scared that she almost threw the child out of her arms.
This bird...is a phoenix.
Oh my god, something actually flew into our house... No, it seems to be Ruoruo's.
Seeing Mu Wange frozen at the door, Jiang Ruo stood up and walked over, "My aunt is here."
"Let me hug my little cousin."
Jiang Ruo came to Mu Wange and took the baby from her arms.
She came to Xiao Chengjin holding the soft little ball, "Look, my little cousin is so cute."
Xiao Chengjin lowered his eyes, looked at him, and poked his cheek with his finger.
It seems quite cute.
Mu Wange stared at the little phoenix with shining eyes.
Haha, the more I look at this phoenix, the more I like it.
Look at these golden feathers, more precious than gold...
Nangong Chenan looked at his mother's money-obsessed eyes and said smugly, "Mom, do you like this phoenix very much?"
"Son, when I have time, I'll go to the mountains and catch one for you."
Mu Wange looked at her boastful son and smiled awkwardly, "Chen An, not everyone can catch this phoenix."
Silly son, if there were a phoenix in the mountains, it would have been captured by the imperial court long ago.
Nangong Chenan heard this and whispered, "My cousin-in-law said he caught it from the barren mountains..."
Xiao Chengjin: "......"
Naughty kid, the barren mountain I'm talking about is not the barren mountain you're talking about.
The little phoenix instantly became the darling of the Nangong family.
Of course, its appearance also caused quite a stir in Shengzhou City.
There was a crowd of people in front of Nangong Mansion, and many people came to join in the fun.
The news soon reached the government office.
At this moment, Yun Zhongan was reviewing official documents in the back hall.
Master Su ignored the etiquette and pushed the door open and rushed in.
He came to the table and said excitedly: "Sir, I just got some great news."
Yun Zhongan put down the document in his hand, frowning slightly, "Master Su, tell me, what is the big news?"
Master Su restrained his expression slightly and said mysteriously, "The legendary phoenix has come to our Shengzhou."
"The people saw it with their own eyes!"
When Yun Zhongan heard the news, he was stunned for a moment.
He stood up and said with a smile: "Master Su, you haven't been fooled by someone, have you?"
When Master Su saw that Yun Zhongan didn't believe him, he hurriedly explained, "Sir, everything I said is true."
"I heard from the yamen runners that the master and mistress who were exiled to Jizhou have come to Shengzhou, and the phoenix is theirs."
"They all went to Nangong Mansion."
After hearing this, Yun Zhongan said to himself, "He's visiting relatives in Shengzhou."
Then, he said sternly: "This government knows about this matter, you can leave now!"
Master Su: “…”
Sir, how can you be so calm?
Don't you want to take a look at the phoenix?
Master Su kept looking back as he walked. When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and said, "Sir, as the prefect of Shengzhou, shouldn't you pay a visit to that gentleman and his wife?"
Yun Zhongan knew very well what Master Su was thinking.
He deliberately hesitated for a moment, "Go prepare the gifts and accompany me to the Nangong Mansion."
"Okay, sir." After replying, Master Su ran out happily.
Yun Zhongan sat at the desk, lost in thought.
Without the emperor's order, that gentleman cannot leave his place of exile.
Could it be...
Master Su was busy in order to see the little phoenix as soon as possible.
"Hey, please go get the carriage. My Lord and I are going to Nangong Mansion."
"Master Su, I'll go and harness the carriage right away." A yamen runner ran out first.
Haha, follow the adults to join in the fun.
Several yamen runners looked at the guy who ran away and shook their heads helplessly.
Alas, I missed such a good job.
Everything was ready, and Master Su ran to the back hall.
"Sir, everything is ready, let's go now!"
Yun Zhongan stood up and straightened his official uniform, "Let's go!"
Look how impatient you are.
........
When the carriage reached the street of Nangong Mansion, the yamen runners were stunned.
The whole street was packed with people...
The yamen runner turned around and said, "Sir, there are too many people in front of us, and our carriage can't pass through."
Yun Zhongan lifted the curtain of the car and finally understood why Master Su was so anxious.
He ordered the yamen runners, "Pull the carriage aside. I will just walk over there."
"Yes, sir."
The bailiff looked around and stopped the carriage next to a big tree on the side of the road.
After he tied up the horses, he took down the horse stool and said, "Sir, Master, please get off the carriage."
After Yun Zhongan stepped down from the carriage on a horse stool, Master Su followed with gifts in his hands.
The bailiff put away the horse stool and ran to the front to clear the way.
"Everyone, please make way. The prefect is going to Nangong Mansion."
The people listened to the calls of the yamen runners and quickly moved to both sides, making way for a small path.
They bowed and said, "We greet the prefect."
Yun Zhongan glanced at the people and said, "No need to be polite."
"Everyone please disperse in an orderly manner. Gathering at the gate of Nangong Mansion will only cause trouble to others."
When the people heard this, they also realized this problem.
They said in unison: "Common people, please leave in an orderly manner."
Yun Zhongan nodded and walked towards Nangong Mansion.
The doorman of Nangong Mansion was very proud when he saw the neighbors who came to watch the fun.
The two doormen stood in front of the mansion gate, their mouths almost stretched to the back of their heads.
When they saw Yun Zhongan in his official uniform, they hurried forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your humble servant greets the prefect."
"Everyone, get up!"
"I'm here to visit Mr. and Mrs. Xiao. Let's go in and make an announcement."
The doorman stood up and said in a servile manner, "Sir, please just go into the mansion."
"Your Excellency the Prefect, please."
Haha, the little phoenix has even attracted the prefect.
So, Yun Zhongan brought Master Su and the yamen runners into the Nangong Mansion.
Another doorman trotted back to the front hall and reported, "Master, the prefect is here."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Nangong and others quickly stood up to greet them.
As soon as I walked out of the front hall, I saw Yun Zhongan coming towards me.
"Your humble servant greets the prefect." Old Master Nangong and his companions bowed and saluted.
Yun Zhongan stepped forward and gave them a false helping hand, "Old Master, Old Madam, please don't be so polite."
Old Master Nangong said with a smile: "Master Prefect, please come into the house quickly, Little Phoenix is inside!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the three people's eyes lit up.
Yun Zhongan coughed lightly and followed the old man into the front hall.
At this moment, the Nangong brother and sister were combing the feathers of the little phoenix.
The brother and sister were very careful and couldn't let go of it.
"Brother, be careful."
"Sister, be gentle too."
The little phoenix let the brother and sister comb its feathers with a look of resentment on its face.
Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo looked at the little phoenix who seemed to have no desire to live and couldn't help but laugh softly.
After Yun Zhongan and the other two entered the front hall, they looked at the little phoenix who was surrounded by the siblings.
Oh my god, it’s really a phoenix, it’s so amazing!
After Yun Zhongan finished looking at the little phoenix, he quickly bowed to Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo and said, "This humble official greets Master Xiao and Madam Xiao."
Xiao Chengjin gave him a false hand, "Master Yun, please don't be polite."
I wonder if Lord Yun can still recognize my aunt?
The moment Yun Zhongan turned his head, he suddenly saw a, no, two familiar faces coming into view.
He stood there and recalled the past, and soon recognized Princess An Ran and Sheng Yunshao.
He took two steps forward, lifted the hem of his official uniform, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your humble servant pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Upon seeing this, Master Su and the yamen runners knelt down and kowtowed, "This humble servant pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Anran curled her lips slightly, "Everyone get up!"
"Thank you, Princess."
Princess Anran pointed to a seat at the side and said, "Master Yun, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Princess, for the invitation." Yun Zhongan did not refuse and sat down directly.
Nangong Yi smiled and quickly told the servants to serve tea.
"Lord Yun, let me introduce him to you. He is my husband's wife." Princess Anran said as she shook Sheng Yunshao's hand.
Sheng Yunshao straightened his back, and his smug look was unbearable to watch.
Yun Zhongan stood up and bowed, "This humble official greets His Majesty the Prince Consort."
Sheng Yunshao said pretentiously, "Master Yun, there is no need to be so polite."
After Yun Zhongan sat down, he muttered to himself: Is this still the same Doctor Sheng that I knew before?
The changes are too great...
Old Master Nangong was so happy when he looked at the people in the room.
I just had a grandson a while ago, and now I am about to have another big happy event...
So he ordered his servants to set up two tables for a banquet.
There was laughter and joy in the Nangong Mansion.
In the private room of the inn.
Xiao Junze lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
We can't just sit there and wait for death.
We have to find a way to get the news back to the capital.
Xiao Junze stood up from the bed and said, "Ji Tao, find a chance to ask the shopkeeper for some writing brush and ink."
"I want to send a message to the prince."
When Manager Ji heard this, he shuddered.
"Your Majesty, would you please reconsider this?"
"Do you think, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew your current situation, would he directly..." seize power?
Xiao Junze frowned and suddenly felt that this move was inappropriate.
"I'll think about it again."
Xiao Junze lay back on the bed, his mind racing...
He was thinking: Can we use this opportunity to let Xiao Mocheng and Xiao Chengjin confront each other?
They both suffered losses, and I was the one who benefited.
As expected of father and son, they have the same idea.
Thinking of this, Xiao Junze couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
So, he decided to wait for the best time.
