At this time, in the villa outside Beijing, Ning Xuanyan quickly rushed back after finishing all the matters.
He promised that he would stay by Wen Yu's bedside until she woke up.
Ning Xuanyan had imagined all the possibilities that Wen Yu might not let him go to bed, not let him enter the room, or even not let him enter the yard, but he never thought that she would actually run away.
Ning Xuanyan looked at the empty room, without showing any anger on his face, and even his tone of inquiry was extremely calm: "Where is she?"
The guard knelt on one knee, his head bowed.
Thinking of what the counselor said last night, his heart felt as if it was burning with fire.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "My Lord, the girl has escaped."
Ning Xuanyan looked at the still somewhat messy bed, as if Wen Yu had just been lying on it, wearing only a moon-white bellyband, with her delicate arms exposed, leaning sideways with her head propped up, looking at him teasingly, then hooking her finger and saying, "Ning Xuanyan, come here."
His cold gaze fell on the guard, "Escaped?"
"yes."
"The compound is well guarded, how did she escape?"
The guard said, "The girl is holding the Phoenix Seal, no one dares to stop her."
Ning Xuanyan suddenly smiled. He sat at the table, playing with the cup in his hand, and said in a light tone: "It seems that my yard also needs to be cleaned up, Huayao."
Hua Yao on the side looked at the guard as if he was a dead man, then walked out. Not long after, he brought in two mustached counselors.
“My Lord…”
As soon as they opened their mouths, Hua Yao kicked their knees, and they all knelt down with a thud.
"I don't know why the lord is angry?" The counselor Li Xiang said tremblingly, enduring the pain in his knee.
Ning Xuanyan didn't waste any words, but asked directly: "Where is she?"
The two men were not playing dumb. If they were not aware of the disappearance of a living person, wouldn't they be incriminating themselves?
Another strategist, Fang Yanghe, said, "My Lord, are you talking about the girl from Yiluoyuan? Last night, she held the Phoenix Seal and asked to leave, and I had no choice but to obey..."
But Ning Xuanyan said with certainty: "She won't leave."
Advisor: ...
Ning Xuanyan took a sip of tea, and a cold and intimidating breath hit him, with suppressed anger in his coldness: "I will give you one last chance, where is she?"
Fang Yanghe said: "My Lord, it is indeed her..."
Before he could finish his words, Ning Xuanyan grabbed his neck, his eyes turned cold, and he exerted force with his fingers and twisted it lightly.
With a snap, Fang Yanghe's neck was broken. His eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what was happening. A trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was dead.
Ning Xuanyan threw his body carelessly beside Li Xiang and said, "I said I will only give you one last chance."
Li Xiang was stunned and his body began to shake uncontrollably.
After all, they were just scribes.
"My Lord... How could you kill him for a woman? You will hurt the hearts of all your advisers. Fang Yanghe is loyal to you..."
Ning Xuanyan wiped his fingers one by one with a silk scarf: "I'll ask you one last time, where did she go?"
Li Xiang closed his eyes. Fang Yanghe's death dealt him a heavy blow.
He advised: "My Lord, the beauty of Princess Duanyang is a disaster. She is fickle and has confused your heart. You have been blinded by her!"
"Fang Yanghe and I are thinking about the greater cause, to clear the emperor's side!"
Hua Yao, who was standing by, had no change in expression when Fang Yanghe died, but her expression changed slightly when she heard the words "clear the court".
Ning Xuanyan smashed the table with his palm and grabbed Li Xiang's neck, "Purge the emperor's entourage? When will it be the turn of the counselors to make decisions for me? How about just giving the throne to you guys?"
The duty of a counselor is only to make suggestions and wait for them to be adopted. It is not up to them to decide whether they are adopted or not.
Ning Xuanyan's fingers slowly tightened, his eyes reddened: "What did you do to her?"
He didn't dare to think about the worst outcome of purging the emperor.
Li Xiang struggled. He was afraid that he would die as quickly and efficiently as Fang Yanghe.
"We didn't kill her. We didn't kill her. We just exiled her to the west of Liusu River. We really didn't kill her..."
“Crack—”
Li Xiang's head was also twisted off mercilessly.
Ning Xuanyan said coldly: "I don't need subordinates who act on their own initiative. Huayao, check the other courtyard."
"yes."
Hua Yao looked at the two people on the ground and frowned. Under the banner of clearing the emperor's side, they were actually satisfying their own private rights. They felt that they could influence their master and make decisions for him.
If every subordinate is like this, they will fall apart on their own without the Emperor of Dasheng having to deal with them.
It is not a pity that the two of them died because they did not recognize their own position.
Hua Yao dragged the man out with an expressionless face.
The next second, Ning Xuanyan's figure disappeared in Yiluoyuan like a gust of wind.
It goes without saying what the master is doing.
She looked at the guard who was still kneeling in the room and said, "Get up. Don't forget who your master is. Just because the master spared your life this time doesn't mean you will have a chance to survive next time."
The guard took a deep breath. He was confused.
At this time, Wen Yu and Liu Chun had successfully stayed overnight in a family in the village.
"It's raining hard, you're all wet, go take a bath and warm yourself up." Aunt Li was very enthusiastic, "I'll get you some clean clothes, they're all worn by village women, don't be disgusted."
Before Wen Yu could say anything, the door was slammed open.
"Mom! It's raining so hard, I have nothing today..."
The next second, the sound stopped abruptly.
The man was stunned when he saw the wet Wen Yu.
"Mom, is this the daughter-in-law you told me about?"
Aunt Li blushed and waved her hands immediately: "She is a good girl, don't talk nonsense!"
Wen Yu: ...
This family was so enthusiastic that they just kept talking to themselves, and she and Liuchun had no chance to get a word in.
At this time, Aunt Li grabbed Wen Yu's hand and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, are you married?"
Wen Yu: ...
