Chapter 257 I Have a Request
Yun Zhao didn't ask him what his relationship with Lu Xun was; it seemed like there was an unspoken understanding between them.
A tacit understanding to remain silent about Wei Jingchen's true identity.
Xu Qingyi waited in the room for a long time but her daughter didn't come. Zhixia accompanied her to go out and look for her.
Seeing the wild animals surrounding the large and small creatures, with the cool night breeze blowing by, created a strange sense of warmth.
"Miss, shall we go and bring the young lady back?"
Zhi Xia asked.
"No need, it's good for the children to be lively, and Jingchen knows how to behave."
If it gets cold, he'll know to take Zhaozhao back inside.
Xu Qingyi trusted this young boy.
"Miss is right. Young Master Wei is truly a man of exceptional talent and integrity!"
Zhi Xia's impression of this young master was still based on what others in the capital said about him.
Throughout his exile, this young master has truly lived up to the praise he has received from others.
Xu Qingyi felt it was a pity that such a fine young man was implicated and exiled.
I don't know what the future holds.
When she returned to her room, Yunxuan was still waiting for her.
Seeing that she looked unwell, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Qingyi shook her head. "No, I just feel it's a bit of a pity about Jingchen."
"It's still early, it might actually be a good thing."
Yunxuan took his wife's hand and pulled her to his side.
"It's indeed not easy for someone like Lord Wei to survive in today's court."
Jingchen was precocious, but did not immediately participate in the imperial examination.
Isn't his excessive exposure a form of protection for him?
Xu Qingyi was a woman confined to the inner quarters, yet she understood the current chaos in the imperial court.
Wei Jingchen's maturity beyond his years earned him the appreciation of many people in the capital.
However, since their exile, they have all realized that Wei Jingchen had been hiding his true abilities in the capital.
Even so, he was still one of the best among his peers in the capital.
Perhaps leaving the capital was a form of protection for him.
"I don't know much about court affairs, but His Majesty..."
Xu Qingyi looked at her husband with some worry.
The two brothers are twins and have always had a good relationship.
She had thought her husband was being framed, but now it seemed that the one who framed him was His Majesty.
Yunxuan's expression froze, and he lowered his eyes, unable to hide his sorrow.
"When I was a child, my father told me that my elder brother had a stubborn personality."
Since he ascended the throne, I have been avoiding him at all times, for fear that he would misunderstand me.
Now it seems that my elder brother may never have believed me at all.
"Even if you're wary, does that warrant such ruthless killing? It's not that I'm being disrespectful."
All things considered, the Fifth Prince is a much greater threat than you, so why would he deal with you first?
Even if you are highly respected by the people, and you hold no official position, as long as he lets you stay at home in retirement,
Even if they banish you to your fiefdom, you won't even have military power. What will you use to threaten his position?
Even Yunxuan himself couldn't figure this out, let alone Xu Qingyi.
He was responsible for supervising water conservancy projects and disaster relief; he was merely inspecting on behalf of the emperor, and even the money never passed through his hands.
He didn't even have the opportunity to cultivate his own power in this thankless and arduous job.
Not to mention his father-in-law, who was a well-known upright military general.
If he were to use his father-in-law's military strength, the first person to kill him would probably be his father-in-law.
He even wondered what he might have done that made his elder brother so determined to eliminate him, even at the cost of his reputation.
The more I thought about it, the less I understood.
Seeing her husband like this, Xu Qingyi immediately regretted it.
She shouldn't have brought this up.
"Okay, let's stop thinking about it and get some rest!"
The couple slept peacefully in each other's arms, a rare treat for them.
The next day.
Yun Zhao proposed to go to Fengyun City with the Bai and Lie families.
Xu Qingyi was terrified, and the words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't say them.
Yunxuan remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Does Zhaozhao have any thoughts?"
The daughter is a person with her own ideas. Although Yunxuan has not spent much time with her, he trusts her very much.
Hearing his father's trust, Yun Zhao felt a warmth in his heart.
"I plan to take Scarface and Little Flower out, while Flower will stay home to protect everyone."
As for Xiao Ying, she can be used as a carrier pigeon; I'll send her back to deliver any messages!
Using a falcon as a carrier pigeon is a first for me.
Before Yunxuan could speak, Xu Yifei said anxiously, "Let your uncle go with you!"
"Yes, brother..."
Xu Yinan had just opened his mouth when Lu Xun interrupted him.
"With your mediocre skills, you think you can just go and get beaten up?"
Lu Xun glanced at him, and Xu Zhenbang nodded in agreement.
“Your master is right. You have a quick temper and great strength, but you have no martial arts skills at all. It is not suitable for you to go with us.”
"I'll go with you."
Lu Xun looked at her without asking any questions.
"Okay, okay!"
Yun Zhao seemed to know nothing, and just kept nodding.
Lu Xun was a man of the martial arts world with high skill, so Yun Xuan and the others naturally had no objections.
After agreeing on a time, Xu Qingyi personally packed her daughter's luggage.
After Yun Zhao returned, he made an agreement to prepare two fruits for them every day.
She successfully persuaded the wild beasts to stay and protect her family.
The tiger cubs had been with her since birth, and when she suddenly had to leave, the cubs whimpered and protested.
Unable to resist its persistent pestering, Yun Zhao could only secretly take out a fruit and feed it.
She fed the baby while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Turning my head, I saw Zhuge Yue standing there at some point.
Yun Zhao: ...
So what if you're highly skilled in martial arts?
She didn't even notice anyone standing there.
"Sister Yue~"
Yun Zhao feigned composure and gave her a sweet smile.
Zhuge Yue looked perfectly normal and walked straight forward.
"You're going to Fengyun City?"
She asked.
"Huh? Yes!"
Yun Zhao nodded, watching her without showing any emotion.
"I'll go with you."
"ah?"
What's going on?
“Lu Xun is a man after all, so it would be more convenient for me to go with you.”
Is she planning to repay a debt of gratitude?
Yun Zhao blinked and smiled in agreement.
She remembered that Zhuge Yue's lightness skill was quite good.
"Thank you so much, Sister Yue!"
With Zhuge Yue by his side, Yun Zhao's safety was further guaranteed, and the others naturally agreed.
In the afternoon, just as Yun Zhao was about to set off, Liang Wenhua came looking for him.
"Uncle Liang? I thought you had already gone back!"
Since no one had come looking for them, Yun Zhao assumed that they had left quietly, seeing that they were safe!
"I came here to say goodbye. Are you leaving?"
"Let's go to town to buy some delicious food!"
Yun Zhao was, after all, an exiled convict, and it was inappropriate for him to leave Linjia Village without permission.
She didn't plan to tell anyone that she was going to Fengyun City.
"Uncle Liang, why did it take you so long to say goodbye? Is something wrong?"
"These past few days I've been helping the Ge family find a house. They knew we were coming to say goodbye."
They then intended for us to deliver a message to Miss Ge and everyone else.
Liang Wenhua looked at Zhuge Yue and explained.
Since it was inconvenient for the Zhuge family to wander around outside, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency rented a house nearby on their behalf.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao immediately had a flash of inspiration.
"Uncle Liang, I have a favor to ask!"
