At this moment, a person suddenly flew and landed outside the pavilion. Cheng Ying paused and looked up.
Yu Jiao also looked out and recognized the person as Xia Ning, the Junior Chancellor of the East Factory who had been to Liu's house.
Xia Ning bowed and said respectfully, "Lord Governor, the emperor urgently summons you."
Cheng Ying stood up. The lazy and playful look on his face when he was talking to Yu Jiao was gone. The smile in his phoenix eyes was gone too. He asked indifferently, "What happened?"
Xia Ning glanced at Yu Jiao who was sitting in the pavilion. Seeing that Cheng Ying had no intention of avoiding her, she said, "As soon as Marquis Annan left the Yangxin Palace, the emperor got furious and summoned you over."
Hearing this, Cheng Ying took a step to leave, but paused for a moment and said to Xia Ning, "Send her out of the palace."
Xia Ning responded respectfully, watching Cheng Ying leave, and then said to Yu Jiao in the pavilion expressionlessly, "Miss Liu San, I will escort you out of the palace."
Yu Jiao stood up and looked at the dirty handkerchief thrown on the table. This handkerchief was embroidered for her by Jianjia, and her name was engraved on the corner of the handkerchief. After all, it was a personal item, so Yu Jiao hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the handkerchief and put it into her sleeve.
When going down the stone steps, Yu Jiao felt severe pain in her left knee, but she did not dare to show it. Cheng Ying was finally tripped by something, so Yu Jiao naturally wanted to leave the palace quickly.
With Xia Ning following them, the journey was smooth. When they were about to leave the palace, Xia Ning, who had been following Yu Jiao silently, suddenly asked, "Has Miss San ever been to Zhixiang Street in South City?"
Yu Jiao's heart trembled. Could it be that the matter of Fangruoyuan has been exposed?
She turned her head and looked at Xia Ning with her almond-shaped eyes, somewhat confused. "Where is Zhixiang Street? I have only been in Beijing for a short time and have never been to South City."
Xia Ning's face was expressionless as always. After sending Yu Jiao to the palace gate, he said, "Zhixiang Street is full of people of all kinds. Miss San is better off not going there."
Yu Jiao smiled lightly and said calmly, "Thank you, Xia Shaocheng, for your kind reminder."
Walking out of the vermilion palace gate, Yu Jiao's palms were already sweating. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Ning clearly knew that she had used his identity to redeem Debbie, but since he didn't point it out, it meant that he would not care about it anymore.
It is really not possible to come to this palace. In just half a day, Yu Jiao felt an unprecedented sense of anxiety. It was really tormenting.
Yu Jiao walked out of the palace gate a few steps, and saw the Liu Mansion's carriage. The servant driving the carriage saw Yu Jiao and hurriedly said, "The third lady is coming out."
As Yu Jiao approached, she saw the carriage curtain lifted. Liu Ziqi extended his hand to her. Yu Jiao took his hand and got into the carriage. She then discovered that there was a tall man sitting in the carriage. His facial features were as handsome as if they were carved by an axe or a knife. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Gu Yun. Yu Jiao quickly guessed his identity, "Meet Lord Gu."
As soon as Yu Jiao got on the carriage, Gu Wei looked at her. Seeing Yu Jiao greet him, he knew that he had too much murderous aura, so he smiled kindly, "You are Yu Jiao, right? Zi Qi has been looking for you for many years, and we are finally reunited. I brought you a gift from Lingnan, and originally wanted your eldest brother to give it to you, but Gu Yun insisted on delivering it to you personally."
Yu Jiao originally thought that Liu Ziqi was only good friends with Gu Yun, but after hearing what Lord Gu said, Yu Jiao felt that Liu Ziqi seemed to be very familiar with Lord Gu as well, and they also had a personal relationship.
She nodded slightly and thanked Lord Gu.
Gu Wei smiled heartily and turned to talk to Liu Ziqi again.
The two were talking about Gu Wei being summoned by the Emperor, and they did not tell Yu Jiao about it.
Yu Jiao gradually heard some clues. Since Gu Wei returned to the capital, he had been summoned to the palace many times by Emperor Mingzheng. This was all for the military command in the hands of Marquis Annan and the 300,000 troops in Lingnan. However, Marquis Gu had evaded Emperor Mingzheng several times before. After the New Year, Emperor Mingzheng became a little anxious. After summoning Marquis Gu into the palace today, he threatened him.
Gu Wei no longer played dumb and evaded the issue, saying that when he returned to the capital, he was afraid that the Baiyue might take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he left the military command in the Lingnan army.
No wonder Emperor Mingzheng was so furious and urgently summoned Cheng Ying.
Yu Jiao thought to herself that Lord Gu had rescued her by accident.
