"You...you won't go back to Ningguta with me?" Mei Ya looked at Zhong Mingwei and asked in a whisper. She knew that Zhong Mingwei could not leave at all, but she still asked desperately. She wanted Zhong Mingwei to go back to Ningguta with her so much. Since they met, they have never been separated. Even when there were misunderstandings in the past, they would see each other from time to time. But this time, if Mei Ya returned to Ningguta and Zhong Mingwei stayed in the capital, they would not see each other for at least half a year. It might not be known whether they could celebrate the New Year together. What's more, the situation in the capital is now unpredictable. Mei Ya is naturally more worried about Zhong Mingwei's situation. Naturally, she hopes that Zhong Mingwei can go back to Ningguta with her.
"Girl, don't worry, I will take good care of myself," Zhong Mingwei knew that she was worried, but in fact, he was also worried. However, no matter how worried and reluctant he was, he could not show it at this time. He had to let Meiya go with peace of mind. He held Meiya's white hands and said in a deep voice, "Girl, I really can't rush back to Ningguta to attend Grandma Chen's funeral. Please kowtow to Grandma Chen for me and tell her that as soon as I have the chance, I will definitely rush back to Ningguta to pay my respects to her."
"I know," Meiya nodded with tears in her eyes. She felt like she was about to cry again. Meiya lowered her head in a hurry, but her tears "pat pat" dripped on their clasped hands. "Grandma won't blame you, don't feel guilty."
Zhong Mingwei stretched out his hands and held Mei Ya in his arms. He felt heavy and depressed in his heart and was extremely uncomfortable. Thinking of the upcoming separation, he felt suffocated. But then he thought that it might be a good thing to send Mei Ya out of the capital. Zhong Zhiheng's health was getting worse and worse. Prince Rong had always been violent and now he was colluding with Zhou Youan. He was afraid that he was planning something big. Except for a group of brothers from southern Xinjiang, he had no other power. He vaguely felt that the capital was about to change, so he was secretly happy to send Mei Ya away at this time. Mei Ya would never leave him except to go back to Ningguta to attend Grandma Chen's funeral.
"Zhong Mingwei, why don't you leave the big guard Kong here," Mei Ya said to Zhong Mingwei after lying in the man's arms for a while, "and let the small guard Kong escort us back to Ningguta."
"Let the two brothers escort you back to Ningguta," Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice while stroking Meiya's hair. "We were careless in the past and didn't know someone would sneak into Ningguta and commit crimes. From now on, we can't take any risks. It's such a long way from the capital to Ningguta. You, Miss Gu, and Mr. Chen don't know martial arts. You have to drive two carriages. I'm worried that Da Kong won't go back with you. Once they return to Ningguta, I will start training my personal soldiers right away. If the two brothers join forces, we can discuss things together."
"Oh, that's good too," Meiya nodded, and suddenly asked, "Mingwei, who does Jiang Jinwan belong to? Can't you guess?"
"I can't guess," Zhong Mingwei shook his head. "Jiang Jinwan used to be Dai Jingfeng's right-hand man. In order to give an explanation to the Imperial Guards, Dai Jingfeng executed Ma Su with tears in his eyes. But who knows who he killed? Did he find a scapegoat to die in place of Jiang Jinwan? So I don't know whether Jiang Jinwan sneaked back to Ningguta this time as a Jinyiwei or as a subordinate of another prince."
"If you are a Jinyiwei, you are acting according to the emperor's orders," Meiya said solemnly, "Mingwei, the news that Jiang Jinwan was killed in Ningguta will probably be known to His Majesty soon. What will His Majesty think and what will he do then?"
