Chapter 438 He's Dead
When Jiang Yunxi went out on the street, there were still many pedestrians. She randomly found someone to ask for directions, and then went straight to No. 68 Zhuque Street.
Zhan Beiyuan followed from a distance, afraid that she would discover him.
Jiang Yunxi walked slowly towards Zhuque Street. She had already noticed that someone was following her, but she did not deliberately expose the other person. Instead, she continued to walk towards Liu Qingbai's house.
When she arrived at No. 68, the lantern at the gate of the courtyard was lit and the gate was closed.
Jiang Yunxi touched her chin and looked thoughtful. If she knocked on the door to look for Liu Qingbai at this time, it would easily cause misunderstanding, so she could only sneak in quietly.
It’s a good opportunity to see if Liu Qingbai is hiding any secrets.
From the first time they met, she had never been able to see through him.
"Yun Xi." The empress's voice sounded behind her. She thought about it and couldn't sleep at all. Finally, she came to No. 68 Zhuque Street, but she didn't expect to see her at the door of Liu Qingbai's house.
Did she come here out of curiosity?
"Aunt Luan, why are you here?" Jiang Yunxi didn't expect it was her. She looked behind her and there was no one else.
"I couldn't sleep, so I thought of coming to see Young Master Liu. Why are you here?" The empress smiled gently. It was rare for her to meet someone who looked somewhat similar, so she just wanted to find out whether it was true or not.
Jiang Yunxi thought about it and said truthfully, "You said he has the shadow of the Emperor. I came to see if there is anything special about him, and to check out some other things."
"Since we are already here, why don't we go in and ask together?" The empress said with a smile, since they were already here.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi went forward and knocked on the door.
Someone opened the door soon.
Jiang Yunxi explained his purpose.
"It's Miss Jiang. The master has instructed me that if you come, I should take you directly to the front hall." Butler Wen said with a smile in a very friendly manner.
The young master specifically told him this after he came back today.
"Please lead the way." Jiang Yunxi didn't expect Liu Qingbai to instruct the housekeeper.
Butler Wen quickly took them to the front yard.
When passing by the garden, the empress stopped. Although it was night, the lights were bright and she could still see the layout of the yard.
The layout of the garden is very similar to the courtyard arranged by the emperor in the past.
And that sycamore tree.
"Aunt Luan, what's wrong?" Jiang Yunxi didn't hear the footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she saw her looking around the yard with a constantly changing expression.
"Yun Xi, look at that paulownia tree and the layout of this garden. The emperor once did the same thing." The empress felt she couldn't calm down.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
How can there be so many coincidences?
Could it be that Liu Qingbai is really the emperor that Aunt Luan mentioned?
"This courtyard was bought by the young master, but it was later completely renovated. The sycamore tree was planted by the young master, and the layout of the garden was also designed by the young master himself." Butler Wen said with a smile.
"Your young master's taste is very similar to that of an old friend of mine." The empress said lightly.
Butler Wen was a little surprised and took them to the front yard hall.
When they arrived at the hall, Jiang Yunxi and the empress hadn't sat down for long when Liu Qingbai came in hurriedly.
"Miss Jiang, why did you come to see me so late? What happened?" Liu Qingbai's face was full of concern.
"Aunt Luan said you look like an old friend she knew, and asked me to bring her to see you." Jiang Yunxi pointed at the empress beside her.
The corner of the empress's mouth twitched slightly. She had clearly been here first. "Master Liu, your housekeeper told me that you designed the garden in your courtyard yourself?"
Liu Qingbai nodded, "Indeed, I designed it myself."
"How did Young Master Liu come up with that design? It looks very special, very different from other people's yard layouts, and there's also that sycamore tree." The empress asked what she wanted to know.
"I don't know either. I just thought of that design in my mind. As for the paulownia tree, I have liked it since I was a child." Liu Qingbai said naturally.
The empress sat up straight when she heard this, something surging in her eyes. After controlling her emotions, she smiled faintly: "I have an old friend who has very similar preferences to Mr. Liu."
"Where is he? Can you introduce him to us?" Liu Qingbai's eyes lit up.
"He's dead."
"Feel sorry……"
"But he might still be alive." The empress's face was full of smiles. Perhaps Yun Xi was right at the beginning. Even if the emperor turned to ashes, he would still come back.
"That's great. Please introduce us to each other when you have the chance." Liu Qingbai smiled as gentle as jade.
The empress nodded heavily, her voice a little hoarse, "Wait for the opportunity, wait for the opportunity..."
Jiang Yunxi stared at Liu Qingbai intently, still unable to see any cause and effect from him. "It's getting late, let's go back first."
"Miss Jiang, I know you are determined to get the body parts in the temple. I can help you. Not everyone can enter the temple, so you must plan carefully." Liu Qingbai said solemnly.
"You are from the Southern Barbarians, why are you helping me?" Jiang Yunxi looked at him.
"If the corpses suppressed under the Tenglong Kingdom's palace belonged to the big devil, I really wouldn't help you, but now that the corpses are not the big devil's, I am willing to help you." Liu Qingbai said seriously.
"Yun Xi, why not ask Young Master Liu for help? He must be more familiar with the temple." The empress advised that they should have more contact with Liu Qingbai to confirm whether he was the reincarnation of the emperor.
Jiang Yunxi thought about it in her heart and said, "Okay, we will come to see you tomorrow."
When Liu Qingbai saw that he agreed, his face was filled with joy. "I'll go find you guys. Where do you live?"
"The Su family at No. 35 Chunxi Road, their daughter has been chosen by the family to participate in a human sacrifice the day after tomorrow, and I want to stop it." Jiang Yunxi did not hide what she was going to do.
"Miss Jiang is still so eager to stand up for the weak. I will help you in any way I can. I will come to see you at No. 35 Chunxi Road tomorrow." Liu Qingbai said with a serious face, indicating that he was willing to participate.
The empress's eyes lit up when she heard him say this. The emperor used to be like this too. He would definitely stand up when he encountered unfair things.
Jiang Yunxi didn't bother him anymore.
Liu Qingbai personally saw them out.
Zhan Beiyuan never left. He hid in the distance. When he saw Liu Qingbai escorting Jiang Yunxi and the empress out, his thin lips formed a sharp arc.
They went in for quite a while, what did they talk about?
Are you talking about the Emperor?
Seeing Liu Qingbai talking to Jiang Yunxi with a smile on his face, a chill kept surging in his eyes, and he felt indescribable jealousy in his heart.
He wouldn't talk to Jiang Yunxi like this if other men did.
But if it was Liu Qingbai, he would feel inexplicably hostile.
Jiang Yunxi and the empress left quickly.
Zhan Beiyuan stood there without moving until Liu Qingbai entered the yard, then he followed in the direction Jiang Yunxi left.
Front.
Jiang Yunxi and the empress walked side by side.
"Aunt Luan, do you think Liu Qingbai will be the emperor?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"It is very likely that he not only has the shadow of the Emperor, but also has the same hobbies. This is the first time I have met someone who looks so much like the Emperor." The Empress said excitedly.
But based on these alone, we cannot be sure that it is the Emperor. We need to wait and see.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
Su family.
When Zhan Beiyuan entered, there was no candle in Jiang Yunxi's room. He stood at her door for a while before returning to his own room. As soon as he pushed the door open, he felt someone there.
"Where have you been so late at night and why aren't you sleeping?" Jiang Yunxi's voice rang out in the room.
