Yan Shiyue didn't come back until the evening.
As soon as she entered the door, Guo Hao came up to her and said, "Brother Wu Qi, are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Yan Shiyue said, "I'm fine! Not a single hair has fallen out."
Guo Hao cupped his hands and said, "This matter is ultimately for me. I am ashamed. If Brother Wu needs anything in the future, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
Yan Shiyue held his forehead and said, "No need. It's my way of doing things that caused the trouble. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. I don't have anything to ask you."
She cupped her hands and said, "That's it. I'm leaving now. See you later."
Guo Hao nodded repeatedly, bowed and saw her off, and watched her walk away quickly before he straightened up.
Chu Ningyuan slowly walked behind him. Seeing that there was no one around, Guo Hao whispered, "Did you see that just now?"
Chu Ningyuan nodded.
Guo Hao said coldly: "There is only embarrassment on her face! It can be seen that this matter is indeed a plan! The route of the Yulin Army's patrol of the palace, and his and my shifts, were all decided long ago. You happened to be away, so it was not difficult to plan this situation!"
...
...
Chu Ningyuan looked at him.
Guo Hao said angrily: "I was so grateful yesterday and so worried this morning, but I didn't expect it was a plan!" He turned around and was stunned: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chu Ningyuan said calmly, "She pretended to be Wu Qi for many days without revealing any flaws. How easy would it be for you to not notice anything after she came back? But she didn't... This is precisely because she didn't know about what happened today and didn't agree with it, so she didn't want to use it to earn your favor."
"That's one thing. Secondly, we already have conflicts. Even if she wants to win you and me over, it's understandable. In the final analysis, she is trying to win you and me over. This is a compliment to us. After all, she has countless ways to make us obedient."
Guo Hao was silent for a long time, and finally sorted out the matter: "Wait! What do you mean by him pretending to be Wu Qi? He is not actually Wu Qi? Then who is he?"
Chu Ningyuan looked at him and said calmly, "Wu Ba."
Guo Hao: “…”
At this time, Huo Qijing and his companions were riding horses out of the city. Just as they were out of the city, a man and a horse quickly came up from the roadside and stopped in front of the horses: "Duke! Please stay!"
Several people reined in their horses together.
Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows and said in her heart.
The person in front of him was a woman, wearing a red dress on a black horse, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a temperament that was both bright and aggressive... You know, a red dress cannot be supported by someone who is not charming enough. She is too young now, so she never likes to wear bright red robes. But the woman in front of him was in her prime, in her best beauty.
Qing Weiliao rode forward and asked: "Who is blocking the road?"
The woman dismounted and saluted: "I am from Qinzhou, my last name is Xu. My parents and brother were infected with smallpox before, and they were saved by the treatment of Lady Fu. Lady Fu has been very kind to our family."
Hmm? Now that she said that, she seemed to have some impression.
At that time, there was a family named Xu, whose son was one of the three children who first contracted smallpox in Lantern Square. Later, the child infected his parents, but fortunately, they were all saved in the end.
Qing Weizi was obviously also impressed: "Who are you?"
The woman said, "My name is Xu Wanyang, and my brother's name is Xu Lingyun."
Qing Weiliao nodded: "What's the matter?"
Xu Wanyang drew out his sword with a clang and pointed it at Huo Qijing: "I heard that the Duke and Empress Fu are engaged. Is this true?"
Huo Qijing said: "Yes."
"Because Madam Fu was injured while saving people and couldn't have children, you broke your engagement and made Madam Fu sad and seriously ill. Is this true?"
Huo Qijing said: "No."
"You still dare to quibble?!" Xu Wanyang said: "All the people in Qinzhou know about it!"
She rushed forward with a sword in hand, but Qing Weiluo dismounted to stop her.
Yan Shiyue watched with great interest...Xu Wanyang was surprisingly quite skilled, and she fought back and forth with Qing Weiliao, quickly exchanging a hundred moves.
Then Huo Qijing shouted: "Not yet!"
Qing Weiliao made a feint and took a few steps back. Huo Qijing said calmly, "There is no such thing. Who told you that?"
Xu Wanyang said coldly: "Don't worry about who told me that!" She pointed at him and said: "You are an ungrateful and heartless man, you are not worthy of Empress Fu at all! If I am not dead today, I will kill you with my sword!"
She rushed forward again and Huo Qijing jumped off the horse.
His abilities are totally not on the same level as Qing Weilai's.
In just a few moves, he kicked away Xu Wanyang's sword. Xu Wanyang rushed forward with bare hands, and he kicked her away again, saying in a calm voice: "I say again, there is no such thing."
As he spoke, he jumped on his horse, and the few of them rode away.
Yan Shiyue made a silent gesture, and the shadow guard quickly followed. Qing Weilai also sent a message, asking them to investigate what was going on.
After releasing the eagle, Yan Shiyue came over and said, "Wei Liao, A Dong, An Nan, Lao Zhao." She hooked her fingers, and the disciples looked at each other for a few seconds, and then gathered together. Then Yan Shiyue lowered her voice and said, "Have you ever heard that a tiger's skills are taught by a cat?"
Four people: “……???”
"But in the end, the cat only left climbing trees untaught! That's why the tiger still can't climb trees!" She pointed her hand backwards: "Huo Qijing, that's the cat who hid himself! We are all poor old tigers!"
Four people: “…”
Qing Weiliao coughed lightly: "Master's Wife, Master can hear you."
Zhao Kuangyin said, "Besides, tigers can climb trees."
Huo Qijing came from behind, opened her hands, grabbed her clothes, picked them up and walked away.
The news about Chen Qian came in the middle of the night, and then in the morning in the carriage, Qing Weilai reported to her in a low voice.
This matter is still related to the female Taoist priest Zhong Yu.
The story started as early as last year, when Zhong Yu dug out gold and began to renovate the charity hall. While she was working on it, she suddenly fainted, and when she woke up she said that something must have happened to Empress Fu.
Later, news came out that Yan Shiyue was stabbed while saving someone.
Later, for some unknown reason, there were rumors that Zhong Yu was sharing the pain with Empress Fu, and it was because she shared half of the pain that Yan Shiyue survived falling into the water.
After the New Year, Zhong Yu once again publicly asserted that the marriage would definitely change.
As a result, when the day came, there was no news of the wedding. Then the rumors became more and more intense, saying that Huo Qijing broke the engagement and refused to get married because Fu Niangniang could not have children, which caused Fu Niangniang to become seriously ill.
Qing Weiliao said, "I heard that she is sick every time she shows up. Many people kowtow outside her residence every day, thanking her very much for sharing the pain of Lady Fu. They also want to ask her to share more of Lady Fu's pain, and it would be best if Lady Fu could have a son and a daughter so that she can get married."
So? If she really gets married and has a child in the future, it will all be her credit? ? And in this way, if she really encounters any trouble in the future, her character will not be ruined, because she has been protected from disaster!
Yan Shiyue said speechlessly: "Why don't I know anything about this kind of thing?"
