She had been busy with Mobei's affairs during this period, and Yan Suizhi naturally knew about it. He knew he couldn't stop her, so he never expressed his opinion.
Xie Wanyun thought he was trying to persuade her to change her mind, so she tossed the letter aside, only to remember it when she packed up and went home that evening. She opened the letter, and Yan Suizhi's vigorous handwriting leaped out before her eyes.
Xie Wanyun's expression changed after reading only a few lines.
Yan Suizhi said that he had been investigating something and had made some progress, but because it was a serious matter, it was not convenient to mention it in a letter, so he asked her to come to his house for a discussion.
Xie Wanyun really regretted why he only saw the letter now!
Without caring about anything else, she ordered the carriage to be prepared quickly, as she wanted to go to Yan Mansion!
Yuzhu was extremely surprised. Judging from Madam's expression, she probably wasn't looking for Lord Yan to reminisce about the past. But what could have made her so anxious?
I couldn't help but say, "Madam, it's getting late today, why not wait until tomorrow..."
"No!" Xie Wanyun's eyes were gleaming. "I can't wait even a moment."
The carriage sped along the empty streets at night.
Xie Wanyun felt like a fire was burning in her heart. She leaned her head out, the night wind ruffling her hair as she watched the horses galloping, wanting them to go faster and faster.
The entire Xie family who died unjustly, and the soldiers of the three armies, they were all waiting for her answer.
Finally they arrived at the Yan Mansion. Xie Wanyun didn't bother to wait for the doorman to inform him and walked in.
The servants of the Yan Mansion naturally knew that this was their mistress! Someone quick on their feet had already run in to report the news.
Yan Suizhi had been waiting for her in the study.
He knew that as long as she saw the letter, she would come to find him no matter how late it was.
Xie Wanyun walked through the courtyard and the corridor. She had never felt that the Yan Mansion was so large? There were so many rooms.
Finally, she stood at the door of Yan Suizhi's study.
"Meimei, you're here." Yan Suizhi came out quietly to greet her.
"I think there's some progress to what you said in your letter. Tell me the details as soon as possible." Xie Wanyun didn't bother with politeness and kept asking.
"Meimei, sit down first. We've waited for so many years, there's no need to rush." Yan Suizhi reached out and held her hand, leading her into the room.
Xie Wanyun was so focused on the truth that she didn't even reject his affectionate gesture.
The two sat down at the desk.
Qingshu served tea, lit the candle, and then left.
The flickering candlelight made the two people's faces appear bright and dark.
The firelight reflected in Xie Wanyun's eyes, burning. She stared at Yan Suizhi closely, "Tell me quickly."
Yan Suizhi was in a complicated mood. He took out a piece of paper from the drawer of the desk, unfolded it and spread it on the table.
"March map!" Xie Wanyun took a closer look and immediately exclaimed.
He immediately leaned over and took a closer look in the candlelight.
At first glance, the map was meticulously drawn and clearly labeled, with no apparent problems. However, she felt something was amiss, something indescribable.
"Where did you get this marching map?" she asked, suppressing her surging emotions.
The march map was a military secret, and no one except the emperor and the generals could see it. Even Yan Suizhi, the second-in-command of the cabinet, did not have this authority.
"This is a copy of the original drawing, which is kept in the Military Affairs Office," Yan Suizhi said slowly. His voice was steady, and no emotion could be heard.
"Yan Suizhi!" Xie Wanyun couldn't help but raise her voice. "Do you know what you're doing? If someone finds out, what punishment will you face? You must know!"
As an important official of the imperial court, stealing military secrets is a serious crime! Even copying is not allowed!
Yan Suizhi's eyes lit up! He said excitedly, "Meimei, you care about me?"
Xie Wanyun was speechless.
What's wrong with this person? He's talking about something so serious and dangerous, where is his focus?
"Have you...thought about the consequences?"
Yan Suizhi nodded, his eyes deep. "Of course I've thought about it, but I think it's worth it."
Looking at her pale face, he comforted her instead.
"Don't worry, Meimei. I'm very careful and won't be discovered. I won't put myself in danger either. After all, I still have to take care of you and Jinbai."
"What about the marching map in the Regent Han Cheng's mansion?" Xie Wanyun looked at the map carefully, but still couldn't understand.
