Chapter 155 Xie Qing guesses that Jiang Yunzheng is Xu Jingyang; Xu Suyuan is arrested
Not long after Qi Yunshen left, Song Wanyun also returned to the Song Mansion.
Jiang Yunzheng told her that he would be going to the northwest battlefield as a military doctor.
Song Wanyun's face was shocked and she looked disapproving.
"Yun Zheng, the battlefield is dangerous. You're a woman and you're powerless. If you get hit by a stray arrow, there won't be anyone to take care of you!"
Jiang Yunzheng comforted her: "Don't worry, mother. I will dress as a man. I promise that I will come back to see you safely."
Song Wanyun still refused to agree. Yun Zheng had been in danger several times during this period and was injured. What would happen if she went to Xiazhou?
Song Wanyun frowned and asked, "Is it an order from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, or the Crown Prince?"
Song Wanyun knew that Jiang Yunzheng had been appearing in the East Palace recently.
She couldn't help but start to regret. Perhaps she should have taken Yun Zheng with her to do business at that time, instead of curing illnesses and saving lives and being targeted by the people above.
Jiang Yunzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted Song Wanyun's shoulders and said, "Mom, I wanted to go on my own initiative. My medical skills are really well put to use treating the soldiers' injuries."
At this point, Song Wanyun was helpless. She looked at her and said, "Yun Zheng, you are really different from before."
When Song Wanyun heard that they would be leaving the day after tomorrow, she kept saying that she would go to Baoguo Temple tomorrow to ask for a talisman for Jiang Yunzheng.
At night, the news that Jiang Yunzheng was about to go west with Qi Yunshen spread to the ears of several people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and everyone had different expressions.
Later that evening, Qi Yanyu and Xu Mianmian came directly to the Song Mansion and said that Jiang Yunzheng would be leaving the day after tomorrow and they would hold a farewell party for her tomorrow.
-
Xie family courtyard.
The people sent by Xie Qing found some traces of Xie Xuan.
After Chen Zhu finished talking about Songshu Village and Yin County, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, could it be that Prince Qi's men took the Third Miss away?"
"Speaking of which, Prince Qi also saved the Third Miss's life, so why did he hide her?"
Xie Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. The one who wanted to hide Xie Xuan was probably not Qi Yunshen, but Jiang Yunzheng.
As soon as Uncle Li, who was by Xie Xuan's side, saw Jiang Yunzheng, he would most likely think of the missing Xie Yuan. Judging from the behavior of Xie Xuan and his daughter, it was not impossible that they intended to murder Jiang Yunzheng.
However, he didn't expect that the murder would fail and he would get himself involved instead.
Given Jiang Yunzheng's cautious nature, she probably already started to doubt Xie Xuan's identity.
"Sir, are we going to rescue the Third Miss?"
"Save him?" Xie Qing said sarcastically, "How many lives can we guard if we snatch him from Qi Yunshen?"
Xie Xuan is more of a hindrance than a help, just like her father.
Chen Zhu shut up and didn't dare to speak.
Xie Qing held the note in his hand, "You said Qi Yunshen was injured that day?"
The secret guard went directly to the Yin County government office to inquire and bribed the servants there.
"The servant said that Qi Yunshen was carried into the mansion. He heard from other servants in the courtyard that Prince Qi was poisoned."
Xie Qing: "Poisoned?"
Chen Zhu: "I can't find out more. The people in Prince Qi's courtyard were carefully selected by the county magistrate to serve him. I dare not reveal more about Prince Qi."
After a moment, Xie Qing asked, "Where will Princess Xingrui be tomorrow?"
"I will go and find out right away."
Not long after Chen Zhu left, another secret guard jumped into the study.
"Sir, someone just put this at the gate of our courtyard."
This letter was written by Yu Tongyan.
It's the same few sentences over and over again.
First, he wanted to compensate Xie Qing and wondered if there was anything he could do. Second, Yu Tongyan found Xie Yuan and asked if Xie Qing wanted to meet him.
Xie Qing placed the letter under the candlelight with an expressionless face, and burned it completely.
Jiang Yunzheng, Jiang Yunzheng...
Ever since Xie Qing left the island and came to Daliang for the exam, there had been constant reports of Qi Yunshen's romantic affairs along the way, all of which mentioned that Qi Yunshen deeply loved the Crown Prince's wife, Xu Jingyang.
For more than four years, there has been no woman around Qi Yunshen.
Now Jiang Yunzheng appears beside Qi Yunshen.
Xie Qing was also there on the day of hunting in Xishan. Although he did not personally witness Qi Yunshen jumping off the cliff with Jiang Yunzheng in his arms, he could roughly guess based on the rumors among his followers.
Qi Yunshen's attitude towards Jiang Yunzheng is very special.
And Jiang Yunzheng...this body belongs to my sister, but the core inside has been replaced by someone else.
A guess was swirling in Xie Qing's mind.
He was so shocked that he stood up immediately.
Xie Qing's heart was pounding... Could it be that Jiang Yunzheng was Xu Jingyang?
As soon as Yu Tongyan's letter was delivered, Mo Jian, who had been following him, immediately returned to the Song Mansion.
There were several secret guards outside the Xie family's courtyard, so Mo Jian didn't dare to stay too long to avoid alerting the enemy.
Mo Jian told Jiang Yunzheng everything he saw and heard.
Jiang Yunzheng tapped the table lightly and murmured softly:
"Xie Qing, Xie Xuan, Yu Tongyan..."
She remembered Xie Xuan saying that she came to Beijing to look for someone... Looking for someone? Looking for Xie Qing?
It is more likely that the two are siblings.
But what is the relationship between Yu Dongyan and Xie Qing?
What is the relationship between Jiang Yunzheng and Yu Tongyan...Yu Tongyan said that she looks like an old friend.
In the original owner's memory, no one had ever said that she looked like her father, Doctor Jiang. The old friend that Yu Tongyan mentioned was most likely her mother.
Then what is the relationship between her mother and Yu Tongyan?
Jiang Yunzheng found a piece of paper.
Write down, Jiang Yunzheng, Xie Qing, Xie Xuan, Yu Tongyan...
She will be leaving Beijing the day after tomorrow. If Xie Qing has any relationship with Xie Xuan... Xie Qing will be more anxious than her.
…
And at this moment, in a small courtyard in the mountains outside Beijing.
Xu Suyuan was so weak that he hid in the woodshed, and the wound on his chest was bleeding again.
"Sir, where should we flee to next? His Royal Highness Prince Yu's men should still be looking for us."
During the past two days of escaping from the capital, Xu Suyuan disguised himself as a beggar and crawled through a dog hole. On the surface, the journey was smooth, and it seemed that all the pursuing officers and soldiers had been shaken off by them. However, Xu Suyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
At the moment, there is only one last guard following Xu Suyuan.
Xu Suyuan was covered in dirt, his clothes were no longer visible in their original color, and his face and nails were covered in mud. He looked extremely miserable.
The two of them are now staying in a farmer's yard. The Xu family is being hunted throughout Daliang, and perhaps only by escaping to Xixia can they save their lives.
King Yu?
Xu Suyuan's eyes were filled with sarcasm. King Yu had been benched by Emperor Jingming for impersonating a Xixia man while hunting and assassinating the crown prince. Now, he was desperate to sever ties with the Xu family. Why would he send someone to rescue them?!
He said weakly, "We will set out early tomorrow morning and take the water route to the west. We will find a way to reach Xixia."
Not far from this farmhouse, there is a country pier.
"Then rest first, sir. I'll go and keep watch."
It was pitch black outside the house, with no light at all, but it seemed as if a hidden hand was tightly gripping Xu Suyuan's throat, preventing him from sleeping.
When there was still more than an hour before dawn, Xu Suyuan finally dozed off for a while, feeling drowsy.
The guard called him up, "Sir, let's set off now while it's still light."
Xu Suyuan stood up and put on his clothes, then placed a few ingots of silver on the table.
This family has only one elderly man who has lost his wife and children, and their life is miserable and difficult.
Taking advantage of the fog, Xu Suyuan limped to the riverside. The moment he boarded the boat, the sound of horse hooves rang out in the air. Several cavalrymen stood by the river, with cold arrows pointing at him.
Xu Suyuan smiled miserably: "You already knew my whereabouts?"
Rong Xiao shot an arrow directly into Xu Suyuan's calf, and Xu Suyuan knelt on one knee.
"Mr. Xu, you are guilty. Confess early and receive less punishment. Where can you escape to?"
The boatman on the boat was so frightened that he trembled and dared not row at all.
Xu Suyuan's guard trembled: "Sir, what should we do?"
Xu Suyuan shook his head, his eyes red: "It's time, it's fate."
Rong Xiao was too lazy to listen to Xu Suyuan's nonsense, so he asked someone to drag Xu Suyuan up.
Rong Xiao glanced at Xu Suyuan, who was like a rat crossing the street, and said sarcastically, "Fortunately, Yue'er woke up early."
Xu Suyuan was injured even more, and Rong Xiao deliberately made it difficult for him to have an easy time, and he almost dragged Xu Suyuan all the way into the city.
The people looked at Xu Suyuan with curiosity and mockery. Xu Suyuan closed his eyes and covered his face with his robe.
