Chapter 201 Are you addicted to climbing through windows?
A ceremony to worship ancestors caused so much disturbance that everyone couldn't help but sigh.
When Concubine Li returned to Yuxiu Palace, she smashed a set of tea sets, cursed Zhao Shuning for being cunning, and scolded Xiao Wanzhen for being stupid, which caused Xiao Yanqing to lose his job in vain.
Concubine Rou closed the door and laughed.
"She used to treat Zhao Shuning like a treasure, praising him in every way. Now, she's been bitten back. She's so happy."
Ye Hanyi also heard a lot about Zhao Shuning from Xiao Baozhu, but today was the first time he met him in person.
For some reason, she felt that Xiao Wanzhen was innocent in this matter.
Zhao Shuning gave her a feeling of being extremely scheming. Her eyes reminded Ye Hanyi of poisonous snakes in the forest, dark, vicious, and chilling.
Such a person cannot be trusted. This time, Concubine Li has indeed let a wolf into the house.
Concubine Rou made fun of Concubine Li and was in a good mood, so Xiao Yanci brought up something.
"Mother, I have to go on a long journey."
The smile on Concubine Rou's face immediately disappeared.
"Where are you going? What are you going to do?"
Ye Hanyi also looked at him with curiosity.
Xiao Yanci's face showed a helpless expression. "It's Master Wuchen. He told my father that my Buddha roots are still there and I need to end my Buddhist karmic connection before marrying, otherwise I will be childless in the future. So, I must obey his instructions and end my Buddhist connection before I can come back to marry and have children."
When Concubine Rou heard this, she immediately became anxious and asked, "What nonsense is that old bald donkey talking about!"
Xiao Yanci quickly tried to appease her, "Don't worry, mother. I don't believe his lies, and I don't want to leave. Tomorrow I will tell father that I'm not going anywhere."
Concubine Rou paused and showed hesitation.
"This, this is better to believe than not. Although Master Wuchen is mysterious, he still has some real skills. You should go with him."
Xiao Yanci was somewhat reluctant, "This trip will take at least a few months. Mother, can you bear to let me go?"
Concubine Rou was naturally reluctant, but when she thought of Master Wuchen's words, she could only suppress her emotions.
"You're already grown up, not a child anymore. Why should I be reluctant to leave you? I'm annoyed by you hanging around me all day long."
Xiao Yanci pretended to be sad, "I didn't expect mother to be so heartless. Sigh, then I will leave. Mother will miss you when the time comes, so please don't cry."
Concubine Rou took Ye Hanyi's hand and said, "Mother, you won't miss me now that I have Hanyi by your side."
Xiao Yanci made some jokes again, and the melancholy in Concubine Rou's heart was quickly diluted.
It was getting late, so Xiao Yanci couldn't stay in the palace for long.
When he left, he secretly kicked Ye Hanyi. Ye Hanyi's brows moved slightly, and he left at the same time as him.
When she reached the corridor, Xiao Yanci was indeed waiting for her there.
"Why are you so sneaky?"
Xiao Yanci got straight to the point, "How many people did you bring with you to the capital this time?"
"Grandfather assigned me an elite force of about four or five hundred men."
"Lend it to me."
Ye Hanyi's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a guess.
"You were just lying to your aunt. Where are you going?"
Xiao Yanci's answer was half-truthful, "I'm going to Xiping. I have a friend, Jiang Nansheng, who you should know has disappeared in Xiping, and I'm going to look for her. This matter shouldn't be made public. I haven't even kept it a secret from my father, let alone Baozhu, so I can't use my own people."
Ye Hanyi's expression turned stern.
Of course she knew this person. Xiao Baozhu often mentioned her, so Ye Hanyi became extremely curious about her.
"It will be dangerous to go there. If you don't want to go, forget it."
Ye Hanyi snorted, "Who said I don't want to? We soldiers in Diannan Prefecture are all good fighters. What's a little danger? Don't look down on me."
Xiao Yanci smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Tell me the truth, aren't you afraid that I'll tell it to you?"
Xiao Yanci raised an eyebrow, "Can you?"
Ye Hanyi folded his arms and said, "Of course I won't do such an immoral thing."
"Isn't that all? I have nothing to worry about."
His attitude greatly pleased Ye Hanyi, making her feel that she was trusted unconditionally.
"Come back safe and sound, or I won't be able to explain to my aunt."
"I know. Those scoundrels can't do anything to me. Mother, please stay with me for a while and don't let anything slip."
After giving a brief explanation, Xiao Yanci left in big strides.
Ye Hanyi looked at his leaving back, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Lu Zhiran returned to Yaoguang Pavilion, changed out of her overly heavy clothes, and felt relaxed all over.
Although today's results deviate from expectations, they are not too bad.
Zhao Shuning was stripped of his imperial title and beaten with a stick. Even if he didn't die, he would have been severely punished.
Others might think that this was instigated by Xiao Wanzhen, but Lu Zhiran was certain that Xiao Wanzhen was completely tricked by her.
Zhao Shuning's move did buy her a glimmer of hope, but she also completely offended Xiao Wanzhen.
Those who do evil will eventually perish. In the future, Xiao Wanzhen will definitely pay back this debt in full.
After eating a bowl of shrimp wontons made by Dan Yan, Lu Zhiran was about to lie down comfortably and rest for a while when he heard another knocking sound at the window.
Lu Zhiran sat up suddenly, and the lazy attitude just now disappeared in an instant.
She changed into a tight dress as quickly as possible, tidied her hair, asked Cui Fu and Dan Yan to guard the door, and then went forward and opened the window.
It was indeed Xiao Yanci.
He climbed in through the window nimbly, and the whole room suddenly seemed cramped again.
The two of them thought of the day when they were measured, and their expressions were a little unnatural.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Why is he here again? Is he addicted to climbing through windows?
Xiao Yanci coughed lightly, "Lin Xiao has already prepared all the personnel. I plan to leave tonight, so I came here to say goodbye to you."
Lu Zhiran was surprised, "So fast?"
"The situation in Xiping is unknown. If we delay for another day, things might change."
"The Emperor's side..."
"I have already reported everything that should and can be said to my father."
Something unexpected happened during the ancestral worship in the Taimiao today, and Emperor Defeng was in a bad mood. Xiao Yanci chose this time to report the news from Xiping to him. Emperor Defeng was furious and immediately sent people to Xiping to investigate the matter without any delay.
This is exactly the effect he wants.
On the other hand, he himself didn't want to delay.
Before leaving, I always have to see her, otherwise I always feel like something is missing in my heart.
Lu Zhiran said solemnly: "Your Highness, take care and be sure to return safely."
Xiao Yanci nodded, "Okay."
He looked at her, neither leaving nor speaking. Lu Zhiran began to feel uncomfortable again when he looked at her.
"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Xiao Yanci's eyes were blazing. "Why don't you give this king a parting gift?"
Jiang Nansheng has them all, and he wants them too.
