Chapter 439 Wait
When they both woke up, they went outside to see what was going on.
I was a little worried when I saw that there were only a few nobles making a fuss in front of the mountain gate to go out, but I didn't expect that those people only made a fuss for a quarter of an hour before the people from the Criminal Investigation Department came and let them out.
"I think the people from the Criminal Investigation Department were forced to release the man first due to external pressure. I just don't know if the cause of Yongle Earl's death has been found. I heard that many people were called in for questioning yesterday."
Wang Kunyao frowned and said with some concern.
The dormitory on their side was surprisingly quiet, and no one came to ask questions. It was unclear whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Ji Changying didn't want to talk about this topic, so she simply stood up and said, "Anyway, it wasn't us who did it, so it doesn't matter whether we ask or not. The Criminal Investigation Department will probably investigate as well. We might as well go home quickly while it's still early so that our families can rest assured."
Zheng Xiangyi nodded: "That's right, my family must be waiting anxiously, let's go back quickly!"
The few people didn't have anything to pack up, only a dried Weituo flower. Yanyun wrapped it up according to Ji Changying's instructions and took it out.
After going down the steps in front of Huangjue Temple, the official road was filled with carriages and servants from various families who came to pick up people. All the vendors who set up stalls had been driven away, and the road now seemed much wider.
"Aying!"
"Xiao Hao!"
Before Ji Changying and the others had time to look for their family members in the crowd, they heard Zhou's familiar voice.
Ji Changying and Ji Minghao turned their heads together and saw Zhou jumping and waving at them like a child, with Hu standing next to her with a smile on her face.
When the people around saw Zhou's unruly behavior, those who didn't know her all stood away with disgust on their faces.
The person who recognized who it was, his face changed and he turned his head away, pretending not to see it.
Ji Changying didn't mind the looks of the people around her. When she saw them, a smile appeared on her face and she waved her hand to indicate that she had heard them.
"Xiangyi, do you want to go back with me?"
"No need, my mother is here too!" Zheng Xiangyi's voice was filled with unconcealable joy.
Following Zheng Xiangyi's gaze, Ji Changying saw the carriage carrying the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. A corner of the window was opened, and a noble lady with a gentle face was sitting inside, looking at Zheng Xiangyi with a smile.
"Master Wang, Xiangyi, my brother and I will leave first and meet again another day."
Ji Changying greeted the two of them, and then she and Ji Minghao couldn't wait to squeeze towards their family.
Wang Kunyao looked at the two people leaving with a strange expression on his face. "I didn't expect that Princess Hehua's mother would be so casual about small matters."
Zheng Xiangyi looked at him with envy: "Don't you think they are very different from these people in Beijing? They look so lively."
Her mother was obviously worried about her, but she still had to consider the image of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the opinions of the people around her. She sat motionless in the carriage, waiting for her to come forward.
Wang Kunyao knocked her head and said, "Let's go. My dad is waiting for us. Let's go back quickly!"
Qingfeng led the guards from the princess's mansion to clear the way. Zhou and Hu stepped forward to pick up the two and took them to the carriage.
"If it weren't for the fool watching the carriage you came in, I would have thought you were gone! Going out every day is really not enough to worry about!"
Mrs. Hu had been worried the whole night, and now seeing that the two were safe and sound, she finally felt relieved.
"If you hadn't persuaded me, I would have taken them back last night! I'm a princess now! If I can't even do this little thing, what's the point of being a princess?"
When talking about the incident of several people stopping her yesterday, Zhou's face showed some dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Hu looked at her angrily: "Why don't you go to heaven? You are a princess, yes, but the more so, the more you can't be willful!"
This capital is not a place where you can act as you please!
During this period, Mrs. Hu asked Ji Fengyi to analyze the situation in the capital for her many times, and she also secretly inquired about it.
The current emperor is old, and his sons and grandsons are already grown up. It is unknown how long he can remain in power!
The three princes who are most likely to succeed to the throne have all been offended by them, either directly or indirectly. In a few years, it will be the turn of Yue Niang’s brothers to take the throne... Hu didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
"Where are my father and uncle?" Ji Changying spoke in time to stop the two from continuing.
"Your uncle is checking your brother's homework, and your father was called out."
When we got home, Ji Fengshou and the others were already waiting in the front hall.
Ji Fengshou let out a long sigh: "Although I heard a long time ago that nothing happened, I was always worried when I didn't see you. I went out and said a few words to someone and came back quickly."
Ji Fengyi's face was full of seriousness: "What on earth is going on?"
The information we get is always not very accurate, and there are all kinds of reports.
Now that they are back, I naturally want to hear it from them in person.
The two of them spoke one after another, and described clearly everything they saw and heard in Huangjue Temple.
The listeners were sometimes stunned, sometimes amazed, and sometimes frowned.
"Is there really Buddha's light in this world?" Ji Fengyi couldn't help but feel a little skeptical.
Mrs. Hu felt so regretful after hearing this: "If I had known it was so effective, I should have lit some incense before I went to pick you up!"
Because Ji Changying had her fate predicted by a Taoist priest, Hu had no idea how much merit she had donated to temples and Taoist temples since she was a child.
This time, because of worry, the two of them actually forgot about it.
Now hearing what the two said was so miraculous, Mrs. Hu regretted it so much that she wanted to turn back.
Ji Fengshou took a deep breath and said, "Then what Master Huiji said about the calamity and the suffering of all living beings couldn't be true, right?"
This kind of thing is too bizarre. Regardless of whether they believe it or not, there are quite a few people in the capital who care about it.
There were many people like them who gathered together to discuss this matter as soon as they got home.
This includes the Cui Guogong Mansion.
After listening to his grandson's words, Cui Taibao's eyes flashed: "We can't disbelieve the saying of the disaster star, but we can't believe it completely either. We need to see the emperor's attitude on this matter."
If the emperor summoned Huiji to the palace to inquire about this matter, it means that the emperor still cares about it.
If the emperor ignored it after listening, they would just pretend they had never heard it.
It’s such a good excuse, it would be a shame not to use it.
However, thinking of the recent incidents at the Duke of Cheng's Mansion and the Earl of Yongle's Mansion, Cui Taibao suppressed his inner urge to act. He looked at Cui Lingze and asked, "Has there been any reaction from Prince Xuan?"
Cui Lingze shook his head: "The prince only sent someone to confirm that my sister and I were okay and then left without asking any questions."
Cui Taibao was a little disappointed: "In that case, let's wait a little longer!"
As the people from Huangjue Temple were released, Master Huiji's comments swept across the entire capital like the wind, and even the news of the sudden death of the Yongle Earl was slightly less significant.
