The next morning, Jin Heqiao asked for leave.
Standing at the bottom of the stairs with his hands behind his back, he asked, "Has the news from the palace not arrived yet?"
"yes."
Jin Heqiao snorted, "After so many years, you just stretched out your claws and retracted them again. Women are always good at making trouble instead of helping others!"
The subordinate reported: "Master, His Highness and the Duke are out."
Jin Heqiao responded, strode out, got on the carriage, and said, "Let's go!"
The newly built Duke's Mansion was not far from Fuyan Mansion. Just as they were about to reach the gate of the Duke's Mansion, a carriage came towards them. Jin Heqiao got off the carriage and saluted from a distance with a smile: "I am Jin Heqiao, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the Prime Minister."
As soon as the carriage stopped, "Yan Shiyue" lifted the curtain and came out: "Master Jin, long time no see!"
"That's right," Jin Heqiao raised his head with a smile, "It's because we haven't seen each other for a long time that I took the liberty to stop the carriage. I wonder if the Prime Minister is feeling better now."
"Much better."
...
...
Jin Hejiao said, "I heard that the Prime Minister is getting married soon. I have nothing to offer him, but I have a servant at home who is good at raising fish. He has a few excellent five-colored Ryukyu fish. They are very lively and can add some fun. I wonder if the Prime Minister likes them?"
"Yan Shiyue" paused.
Huo Qijing said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Jin. I would be very honored to refuse it."
"As long as the Duke likes it." Jin Heqiao stepped back with a smile: "Then I won't bother you, the Prime Minister. Please."
Huo Qijing bowed and said, "Please."
Jin Heqiao bent down slightly and watched the two of them go in.
He clearly felt a gaze on him, and when he glanced to the side, he saw a man dressed as a personal soldier looking at him. He was very calm when he noticed him, and calmly withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened.
The door closed immediately and Jin Hejiao slowly straightened up.
This "Yan Shiyue" actually looks very similar. At first glance, they are 80% similar. However, Huo Qijing stood far away from her the whole time and had no physical contact with her. He didn't even help her get off the carriage. She didn't even dare to make a decision about a goldfish... This one must be fake.
The look in this personal soldier's eyes was not one of vigilance but of scrutiny. This was Yan Shiyue himself.
But now that you're back, why do you need to disguise yourself?
On the other side, as soon as Yan Shiyue entered the room, the two of them switched places.
Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing walked around the garden hand in hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "I can't recognize Jin Heqiao. He seems to have aged ten years in an instant! His attitude has also become more respectful."
Huo Qijing said: "After being proud all your life, you will naturally feel depressed when you suddenly lose your hope."
He immediately dropped the subject and held her hand tightly: "I asked someone to plant a large area of fruit trees in the back. People around laughed at me. Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "I just like the feeling of walking around the house and picking fruits to eat at will! I also like to have flower branches hanging by the window. In the morning, I can watch the branches swaying in the wind. While I am dressing, I walk to the window, cut a flower, and pin it in my hair. Then you will say dryly, 'It looks good.'"
Huo Qijing burst out laughing.
He gently held her waist and said, "Look here, does it look like the martial arts hall in Jubao Village?"
"Really?!" Yan Shiyue looked at the corridor built against the wall, "Wait until Jin Heqiao sends the fish, and then we'll raise them here."
"Okay," Huo Qijing nodded with a smile: "From now on, this will be our home."
He glanced at her and said, "There shouldn't be any changes this time, right?"
She said, "No!" She looked around to see if there was anyone around, so she quietly moved closer and blinked her big eyes: "Because I'm already cooked~~"
Huo Qijing: “…”
He stretched out his hand to hug her. She had already turned around and ran away, looking back at him as she ran, glaring at him. He hated her so much that he stood still and pointed at her from a distance, "Wait for me."
Lin Fujian is much calmer than Jin Hejiao.
Or, he wasn't planning on doing anything?
Or maybe he knew nothing about Wu Qi from the beginning to the end?
Anyway, he never showed up. Of course, Yan Shiyue never went out either.
When the female Taoist priest Zhong Yu was escorted to the capital, Yan Shiyue followed Qu Sinian's advice and took advantage of this trip to secretly spread a message.
The general idea is that Yan Shiyue noticed something and did not return to the city in order to avoid Zhong Yu's nightmare. If someone with a keen eye heard it, they would naturally think... No wonder she wanted to pretend to be Wu Qi, it must be to avoid disaster!
Anyway, most normal people, such as the Fourth Prince, would never understand that she pretended to be a Yulin soldier just to motivate herself to practice martial arts.
When Emperor Mingyan heard that Zhong Yu was the disciple of Yuqing Sanren, he was speechless.
This kind of relationship is a clear hidden danger that should have been eliminated long ago! Why are you waiting for her to make trouble before taking action?
He originally just wanted to vent his anger on Yan Shiyue, so he put the blame on her, but now, he really felt that maybe Zhong Yu did something to make Yan Shiyue so unlucky.
As for Yan Shiyue, she really hated Zhong Yu, but she didn't want her to die. But at this point... Emperor Ming Yan was standing up for her, so there was no need for her to save her.
So Zhong Yu repeatedly told the escorts that he wanted to see Yan Shiyue, but Yan Shiyue never went to see him.
Some people always think that they can act recklessly as long as they prepare an innocent performance, but they never think that maybe she doesn't even have a chance to perform.
Under such circumstances, Zhong Yu was quickly sentenced to immediate execution.
Before the execution, after eating his last meal, Zhong Yu leaned against the wall, tears streaming down his face.
When the government arrested her and told her the charges, the people of Longmen County were in an uproar. No one knew how much stinking mud and rotten vegetable leaves had been thrown at her, and her face and nose were bruised and swollen.
She had always lived a very refined life, never tired of fine food, never tired of delicate meat, her clothes were worth thousands of gold, her ornaments were worth more than ten thousand gold, and every piece of utensils she used had a history, almost no different from a princess. Now he just wanted to borrow her east wind... Is this wrong? She actually treated her like this! Why! Is there still a law?
At this moment, a man approached the prison door quickly.
He whispered, "Will you lend me your blessing?"
Zhong Yu was stunned.
Who is he? This is death row!
The man was wrapped in a nightgown, with only his eyes showing: "Speak! Do you know how to speak?"
Zhong Yu was not stupid. She rushed to the prison door without hesitation and said, "I can do it! I learned from Yuqing Sanren, and I can borrow the blessing technique! A few days ago, I borrowed the blessing of Lady Fu, so I affected her fortune!"
She looked at him: "Can you save me?"
The other person looked at her expression, and after a while, nodded silently.
At noon the next day, Zhong Yu was beheaded.
Her death did not cause any ripples in the capital.
At this time, a large sand table three meters long and four meters wide was built on the Yulin Military Training Grounds. A large group of people surrounded it. Huo Qijing and Chu Ningyuan stood on each side and bowed to each other: "Please."
