Fei Yunsong and his son Fei Yanche had prepared everything before entering the palace.
Based on Fei Yunsong's understanding of the emperor's temperament, they were able to obtain the imperial edict allowing them to leave Beijing and return to the western border so smoothly.
But I didn't expect that the emperor was so anxious and asked them to set off immediately. This was indeed a pleasant surprise.
After leaving the palace, the two returned to their mansion and sent all the servants in the mansion to a safe place as planned. They packed up their things simply and took their families out of the city gate.
Since Fei Yanche returned to the capital, the Wuding Palace has been freed from confinement and can move freely inside and outside the imperial city.
So when the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was the carriage from Prince Wuding's palace leaving the city, they did not order to stop it.
Inside the carriage, Fei Jinhe pushed aside a corner of the curtain and looked out, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are we going back?"
Wen Yunlan pulled the little girl who was looking out back and half held her in his arms, and said softly: "Yes, we are going back. Is Jinhe happy?"
Fei Jinhe replied happily: "Happy, I don't like it here."
Hearing Fei Jinhe's words, Fei Yunsong also reached out and patted her on the head gently.
The Fei family encountered many twists and turns on their journey back to Beijing. First, Fei Yanche was killed and disappeared, and then they encountered countless assassination attempts.
After returning to the capital, Fei Yunsong and Wen Yunlan were protected in the palace in disguise, while Fei Jinhe was brought into the palace alone as a bargaining chip to threaten them.
Fei Jinhe's memories of her time in the palace were not very good, so it's no wonder that she didn't like it here.
About ten miles outside the city, the Fei family has a mansion, and Fei Da has been waiting there with his men.
Their plan for this time had been planned half a month ago. The servants in the mansion who needed to be dismissed were dismissed, and those who were not dismissed were also arranged to go when they left, so they would definitely not be captured by the Fourth Prince and others.
There was a team of a hundred people parked outside the mansion, all of them were soldiers who had followed the Fei family for many years.
In addition, there are more than ten carriages, and all the supplies needed on the road are ready.
Feida stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty."
The hundred-man team behind him also knelt down and saluted.
Fei Yanche and Fei Yunsong lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage, then mounted the horses that Fei Da had prepared for them.
"Organize the team and set off immediately."
"Yes, Prince!"
…
After reading the thick stack of letters carefully, Shen Yu'an put the letters back into the envelope.
Knowing that Fei Yanche was still safe, Shen Yu'an felt relieved.
The letter also mentioned their plan to leave Beijing, but there was still some time between the date of writing and the time when Fei Yanche and his son would go to the palace to meet the emperor, so Fei Yanche only mentioned it briefly.
Shen Yu'an didn't know what stage their plan had reached, or whether they had left Beijing safely.
But she believed in Fei Yanche's ability. As long as he was determined to do something, he would succeed.
Shen Yu'an's mind couldn't help but drift away. According to the temperament of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Rong's lineage, they would not let the Fei family leave smoothly.
What happened to the Fourth Prince had nothing to do with her. She only knew that her A Che was not the type to sit and wait for death, and he would definitely find a way to take the initiative in the matter.
She had to think about how she could help him...
While he was thinking, the carriage he was riding in slowly drove into Longxian Village.
The driver knocked on the carriage and said, "Girl, we are home."
Shen Yu'an came to his senses and got off the carriage. Tian Qiu, who was sweeping the floor in front of the door, saw Shen Yu'an coming back and went to greet him.
Tian Qiu smiled and said, "The girl is finally back."
Two people jumped down from another carriage behind them and started to move things down. Shen Yuan looked towards the yard and asked, "What happened during the time I was away from home?"
Tian Qiu slowly recounted what had happened in Longxian Village during this period.
"Nothing serious has happened. The young masters and Mr. Shen are all in town. We left these at home and are busy with the papermaking workshop every day."
"It's just that a few nights ago, when Shen Wu got up at night, he saw a dark figure sneaking towards the workshop. He was alert and called a few people who lived with him to follow."
"We caught a man trying to break into the paper mill at night to steal something."
Shen Yu'an stopped and wanted to go to the papermaking workshop, "Can you find out who did it?"
Tian Qiu said quickly: "Miss, you are tired from traveling on the road, you should go home and rest first."
"The paper mill was fine. As soon as the man climbed over the wall, Shen Si and his men arrived. The man was so scared that he fell off the wall and broke his leg."
"Later, the noise was so loud that it woke up the villagers who were sleeping. Then everyone realized that the thief was Pan Monkey from the village."
"That man heard that the paper made in the paper mill was better than other paper on the market, so he wanted to steal it. But I heard that his leg was broken once before, and it took a long time to heal, so he came out to do such petty theft again."
"Half of the village heard the noise and came out. Pan Hou had no way to defend himself. He was taken to the county government office the next day. With so many witnesses, he was convicted without being able to defend himself."
Shen Yu'an still had some impression of Pan Hou.
When they first came to the village, Pan Hou's mother, Aunt Pan, often attacked the Shen and Zhang families in her words, and later when they were recruiting workers, things were not very pleasant.
What’s even more hateful is that Aunt Pan was the culprit who caused her third aunt to almost have a difficult childbirth.
At that time, they were asked to pay compensation in the form of silver. Later, when they heard that their family had encountered misfortunes, one more tragic than the other, Shen Yu'an no longer paid any attention to them.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after leaving home, Pan Hou, whose injuries had recovered a little, started to act up again.
Shen Yu'an went straight to the workshop and asked Tian Qiu to go back and direct those people to move the things they brought back into the house.
When Shen Yu'an arrived at the papermaking workshop, he saw a few unfamiliar faces outside. When they saw Shen Yu'an, the "stranger", coming over, they stepped forward and questioned him.
Just then, an aunt passed by and saw Shen Yuan, and called out "Little Master" in surprise.
The people who were going to interrogate him confirmed Shen Yu'an's identity before letting him in.
The aunt took Shen Yu'an directly to where Song was, and then went to where she worked.
"mother."
Song saw Shen Yu'an and walked over happily and said, "Hey, Yu'an is back."
When Shen Yu'an asked about the people outside, Song explained, "It was because we encountered a thief a few days ago. We thought that as our workshop grew bigger, we had to buy some people to guard against these villains. So your uncle went to the county and bought some useful people to guard outside this workshop."
While the two were talking, Song had already taken Shen Yu'an around the papermaking workshop.
After promising the workers in the workshop to leave work half an hour earlier at noon today, Shen Yu'an and others turned around and went back.
