Chapter 311: The clouds are thick and the rain is heavy. I am here to take shelter from the rain.
"Who is from the Wei family?"
Lu Juan didn't dare to raise his head, nor did he dare to answer, because the answer would be fatal.
He was careless for a moment and did not mention Ji Qingwu, but he mentioned the Wei family.
Zhao Mingyan glared at him coldly, as if he would be committing a heinous crime if he answered that Ji Qingwu was a member of the Wei family.
Lu Juan explained: "What I'm saying is that the Song family went to the gate of the Wei family to cause trouble. The two families had a dispute, and even the old lady Wei was alarmed."
After a while, Zhao Mingyan said, "Please take a seat."
Lu Juan sat down and glanced at the emperor's face.
He just mentioned that his fifth sister was considered a member of the Wei family, but Emperor Wu Su was so displeased. He was also worried for Wei Ting in his heart.
Wei Ting took advantage of the chaos and forcibly married the fifth sister.
Although he knew that Emperor Wu Su was not a foolish and tyrannical emperor, he would go crazy if someone forced Qing Rong to marry him in a foreign land.
Lu Juan picked up the tea bowl on the square table and took a sip of ginger tea.
I wonder what kind of situation Wei Ting will face when he returns to Lin'an. Can he bear the emperor's anger?
Zhao Mingyan sat down again and asked, "How was the matter resolved?"
The sense of pressure in front of him was reduced by half, and Lu Juan said: "When I went there, the dispute had been resolved. I happened to see Song Wei, barefoot and without a hat, apologizing to Qing Wu."
When he answered carefully, he got another sidelong glance from the emperor.
Lu Juan realized that something was wrong and changed his words: "...he looked like he was apologizing to Miss Ji Wu."
"Your Majesty didn't see it. Song Wei was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He was not as arrogant as before when he led people to cause trouble in front of the clinic. He was completely suppressed by the Fifth Miss."
Speaking of this, Lu Juan also felt relieved.
"I feel that Miss Fifth has become tougher than before."
Ji Qingrong was always worried that her fifth sister was weak in character and might be bullied, and she talked about it with Lu Juan a lot. But now it seems there is no need to worry.
Zhao Mingyan's eyebrows moved slightly and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
In fact, the emperor had already received secret information from Sihai and knew what had happened, but he still wanted to hear it again from Lu Juan.
Zhao Mingyan threw a report on a major case to Li Yuzong.
He said in a steady tone: "Yuwen Tianqing is still hiding in the old house in the suburbs. Duan Mingfeng has sent people to keep a close eye on him. We are still missing the most crucial piece of evidence to prove Su Fengyue's treason."
The most crucial thing... must be the letters exchanged with Xi Jin.
Lu Juan took the memorial handed over by Li Yuzong, read it roughly, and asked, "Has the emperor sent secret guards to search the Su family?"
"We searched, but found nothing."
"Su Fengyue is a very good old fox. If he hadn't seen the emperor seriously injured and received reliable information from Xi Jin, he would never have revealed his true colors."
Lu Juan said, "Should we ask Lord Duan to go to the Prime Minister's Residence to investigate at night? Lord Duan is very good at Qinggong, and the Duan family is good at tracking."
Duan Mingfeng's kung fu is very powerful, but there are many people in Lin'an City who know his unique skills, so it is easy for him to be recognized.
Zhao Mingyan said: "No need, I will go to the Prime Minister's residence myself."
Lu Juan was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. It is not appropriate for Your Majesty to show up at this time."
He still wanted to do it even though he knew it was impossible. If he was discovered by the people in the Su Mansion, the emperor would be in danger again.
Zhao Mingyan said: "After nightfall tomorrow, you will hold Su Fengyue in the palace while I go to the Su family to check out the situation."
"Your Majesty still..." Lu Juan didn't finish his words before he suddenly realized something.
Not only Ji Qingwu is changing, but Emperor Wu Su's style of doing things is also changing.
Zhao Mingyan said: "I will arrange a thousand elite soldiers to lurk outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. If we find any evidence, we will send a message to you and you will directly detain Su Fengyue."
Lu Juan stopped trying to persuade her, bowed his head and said, "Yes, I will obey your command."
It can make the emperor, who is good at forbearance, become impatient and put himself in danger again.
Lu Juan couldn't think of any other reason.
When he left Zhaoyang Palace, the rain outside had lightened a lot, and Li Yuzong ordered someone to bring him an umbrella.
The slanting raindrops were blown in from under the umbrella by the wind.
When Lu Juan reached the palace gate, his half-dry robe was wet by the rain again. He wanted to go back to the marquis' mansion, but changed his route and went back.
Since Emperor Wu Su has decided to take action, there will most likely be a big storm tomorrow night, and he must also work together to eradicate the forces under the umbrella of Su Xiang.
When Lu Juan thought about the names and evidences he had to compile, his blood suddenly boiled.
The guards at the palace gate saw Lord Lu throw away his umbrella and walk into the palace in the rain with great momentum.
*
The night rain is cold.
The doors and windows of the house were closed, but a damp and cool breeze still came in.
Ji Qingwu suddenly woke up for some reason. She felt a breeze under her feet and discovered that her right foot and calf were outside the quilt.
The strange thing is that the right foot is not cold, but the left foot in the quilt is colder.
Ji Qingwu felt something was wrong and quickly curled up in the quilt, pressing down the soles of his feet and the corners of the quilt on his sides.
Lanzhi fell asleep in the side room with Jiujiu. She really wanted to hug the warm little girl back and tuck her into her quilt to warm her up.
Thinking it was better to take action, Ji Qingwu was about to turn over and sit up when he was suddenly pushed down by someone.
She blinked her big eyes, not understanding why the sudden change happened.
Something was pressing down on her and she couldn't move her hands or feet.
The pressure, as heavy as a rock, made her gasp for air. She wondered whether she was conscious or not. It felt like she was being possessed by a ghost.
The moist scent of agarwood lingered at Ji Qingwu's nose. Her nose moved slightly and her eyes lit up.
She called softly, "Your Majesty?"
A sweet breath wafted into Zhao Mingyan's ears, and even at night, he could see the light flashing in her eyes.
He whispered, "Why don't you go to sleep?"
Ji Qingwu struggled to pull his arm out, and said, "You should ask His Majesty this question. It's raining in the middle of the night. Why are you coming to the Wei family instead of sleeping?"
A warm palm touched her right cheek.
Zhao Mingyan asked, "Does it hurt?"
Ji Qingwu blinked gently, her eyelashes rising and falling, and she understood what he was asking.
"It doesn't hurt."
Zhao Mingyan said: "Nonsense."
The candlestick on the bedside was lit by a gust of wind, and Ji Qingwu's eyes were instantly attracted to it.
Zhao Mingyan pinched her chin and examined her carefully.
For some reason, the corners of Ji Qingwu's lips lifted up, and his eyes became brighter.
"My body and hair are from my parents. I just accidentally scratched it. It's all healed now and it doesn't hurt at all."
Emperor Wu Su certainly knew that the wound on her face was caused by Qiao's accidental scratch with her sleeve, otherwise Qiao would not have been able to stay safely in the Ji family.
Ji Qingwu's eyes turned and he said, "Didn't your majesty say that we should meet again before all traces disappear? Now is not the right time."
"Let me check it out."
Emperor Wu Su tried to open her collar in a serious manner.
Ji Qingwu held onto his shirt and said hastily, "It's still there, it's still there, I saw it before I went to bed."
Fearing that he really wanted to check, she asked again, "What on earth are you doing here, Your Majesty?"
"The clouds are thick and the rain is heavy. I am here to take shelter from the rain."
