Chapter 257 Come Back
After having a hearty meal at the wild inn, the three of them went straight back to South City.
Chen Jingyan took Yun Qiao back to Nancheng and found another place to live. He was the king of the Mobei fiefdom, and everything in Nancheng was not under his control. He could not rashly appear in Nancheng, for fear that it would attract Meng Liang's attention and he would report him again.
Emperor Showa didn't trust him in the first place, and Chen Jingyan didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
Yun Qiao was doing business in Nancheng, so it was normal for her to be here. Chen Jingyan did not show up and let Yun Qiao continue to set up her transit station.
Instead of staying in an inn, I rented a house temporarily, gave the owner some extra money, and lived in the house in the backyard.
Yun Qiao looked at Chen Jingyan, who had been silent since he came back.
"My Lord, when do you plan to return?"
Chen Jingyan glanced at Yun Qiao and asked, "Am I bothering you here?"
"No, you're angry again, aren't you? I'm just asking casually. Otherwise, let's go back together and let Wuying take care of the transfer station."
She was afraid that something might happen to Chen Jingyan here again, and Mobei couldn't do without him either.
"Finish these things first, and go do your own thing. Don't worry about me."
He seems to be very idle during the day, but he is indeed very busy at night.
He thought Yun Qiao didn't know.
Yun Qiao sighed lightly and followed his lead.
When Yun Qiao came back, she naturally lived in the villa that the Meng family had set up to entertain her as a princess, which meant she was separated from Chen Jingyan.
After being busy at the transfer station, Yun Qiao has been keeping an eye on it for the past few days since he came back and has not been idle.
Fortunately, the construction progress is quite fast and it will be basically completed in one month.
Meng Liang also found that Princess Huayang showed no signs of coming to investigate him, so he felt relieved. However, his new wife was a restless person.
When Yun Qiao met Meng Liang again and was about to leave, someone suddenly stopped her.
It is said that General Meng was poisoned.
Yun Qiao stood there, watching Meng Liang's new wife and guards blocking her way.
"I'll have to trouble you, Princess, to wait a moment. The general is now unconscious. This matter is of great importance. Everyone within the general's family needs to be investigated."
"You dare to check me?"
Yun Qiao looked at the new wife Guerlain with a sneer.
"You are the princess, how dare I do that? But the general is the emperor's right-hand man. If the emperor knew anything happened to the general, he would naturally be furious, and it would be difficult to deal with him then."
Yun Qiao looked at Jiaolan and started smiling.
"Really? Madam Lan, there are some things that everyone might not know even if you don't tell them. In the well in the back garden of the general's mansion, the person hanging there doesn't seem to have rotted yet."
Hearing Yun Qiao's words, Jiaolan turned pale with fright.
But he forced himself to say: "What do you mean? I don't understand."
"I just want to ask Princess to stay a little longer. Since you don't want to, I won't force you."
In the end, Jiaolan respectfully sent Yunqiao out.
After getting on the carriage, Yun Qiao returned to the villa and immediately asked the maid to find Wuying.
"The Marquis is resting. Your Highness, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Wuying, weren't you investigating Meng Liang before? Can you tell me what you and the Marquis were doing? Meng Liang was suddenly poisoned today, but was it you who did it?"
Prying into someone's mind can only reveal part of it, and cannot help you understand someone's plans and goals.
Wuying replied, "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with you. As for General Meng's poisoning, it has nothing to do with the Marquis and me, but I would like to remind you that it is related to General Meng's new wife. General Meng's new wife is Xiao Lan's woman."
