With Ji Hengxuan around, Emperor You woke up quickly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Wan Qiqin in front of him. His face was very complicated. He murmured for a long time, and his voice was blurry. Ji Hengxuan couldn't hear clearly what he said even if he concentrated to listen.
"Brother, don't worry. With my brother here, everything will be fine in Zhongyou." Wan Qiqin lowered his head and said calmly.
Wan Qixi seemed to relax, his frown slowly relaxed, his eyes slowly closed, and he fell asleep quietly again. After Ji Hengxuan followed him out, he met someone at the entrance of the palace.
"Prince Qin."
Wan Qiqin and Ji Hengxuan, who were about to get into the car, stopped and turned to look at the man. Her green cheeks had just faded, and she was wearing a light ink-colored gown, which was slowly flying in the breeze. With a bit of fledgling arrogance and a hint of stability, he is really a handsome prince! Appreciation flashed in Wan Qiqin's eyes, and he narrowed his eyes and took a look.
"Who are you?"
"Shen Yan from Fengnong Villa has met Prince Qin!"
"It turns out he's from Fengnong Villa..." Wan Qiqin smiled slightly and realized that there was no one in Fengnong Villa, so it was only natural that such a heroic young man could come out. "What's the matter?"
"This is a letter from Mr. Si Ji to the prince." After saying that, he took out a letter from his body and handed it to Wan Qiqin's hands. He continued, "I hope that your lord will not worry too much, so I'll take my leave first!" After Shen Yan finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and quickly disappeared.
Wan Qiqin glanced at the letter in his hand, lowered his head and got into the sedan. Only Ji Hengxuan looked at the direction where Ana Shen disappeared, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
A few days later, the Lu's store in Zhongyou City reopened for business. Although the prices were not as high as before, they were still much higher than those in the new stores that had squeezed out the Lu's. Moreover, half of the shops in the city have the surname Lu, and the people are angry but dare not speak out, especially Yan. Since ancient times. Salt is an indispensable thing. If you control the salt, you can control half of Zhongyou.

In Fengnong Villa, in the study room, there are various antiques placed on the antique shelves, each of which is exquisite and exquisite. Behind the Bogu shelf is a square wooden table, and three people are sitting opposite each other, whispering in low voices. The bookshelf behind the square table is neatly filled with books of all kinds, although the books are placed meticulously. But it doesn't mean that the owner doesn't read it often.
"How is Prince Qin doing?"
Xie Weixing looked at Ana Shen. The huā coffee on the side is still holding the orchid huā finger, admiring it with fascination. Hearing his words, he just raised his head. After a faint glance, he sighed and interjected: "That old fox Wan Qiqin will never take action first. What's more, the last time Lu Yixiang personally led his troops to destroy his 30,000 soldiers, he could not stand still. Look and feel. Do you still expect him to be able to help us?"
Ana Shen just frowned and did not answer. Xie Weixing said calmly: "What I bet on is his shrewdness."
Hua Fei raised his head unexpectedly, thought for a moment, and then said: "You mean, that old fox Wan Qiqin is waiting for the opportunity? Come to think of it, I never understood what that guy meant. Emperor You ascended the throne ten years ago At that time, he clearly had a 90% chance, but he kept holding back. Even now, Emperor You is so ill, but he still doesn't move at all. What exactly does he want? "
"Tranquility." Ana Shen said suddenly. "When the new emperor ascended the throne, the Zhongyou court was unstable. Later, Emperor You managed Zhongyou in an orderly manner. He had no name, so he simply recuperated his strength. He had plenty of time. Now, I'm afraid there is still another Lu Home needs to be taken care of, so he’s waiting.”
"Boy Shen is getting smarter and smarter, and his analysis is orderly, not bad!" Hua Fei raised her eyebrows, her narrow eyes filled with admiration.
Xie Weixing smiled slightly, picked up a piece of paper from the square table, and said to Shen Yan: "Take this letter and go to Lord Zhongli. He must be waiting for you now as if you are standing in line." Shen Yan hesitated, and Xie Weixing said "If you have any questions, just ask."
"It is said that to kill a snake, you have to hit it seven inches. Just like the Lu family, isn't it just like a snake? Why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to start now? To avoid long nights and long dreams." Shen Yan thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then asked about the doubts in his heart. out.
"Hehehe - you are a young boy, but you have a lot of problems!" Hua Fei covered her lips and laughed softly.
"Miss once taught me, if you don't understand, just ask." Shen Yan was a little embarrassed by Hua Fei's smile, but still stubbornly retorted.
"Miss? Which lady?" Hua Fei looked at him curiously, "If you don't understand, you have to ask? Haha - it's a blessing to your lady for raising you to be so smart. If you have questions, you have to think more by yourself and always rely on others. , it’s useless. It’s better to find the answer yourself. If the answer given by others is wrong, do you have to keep doing it?”
Hua Fei's words fell for a long time, and there was a moment of silence in Nuo Da's study.
"He's talking about An Yu." Xie Weixing saw that Ana Shen's face was slightly dark, and knew that he was a little angry, so he tapped his fingers on the tabletop lightly. The sound of "ta da da -" made Ana Shen come back to his senses slightly. He replied calmly.
"Huh?" Hua Fei raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then he was relieved. When he received An Yu's information, he was also very surprised how there could be such a woman in the world, which actually made him feel a little sorry for her. I gave birth to a daughter by mistake. "It turns out it's her. By the way, how is Xiao An's health? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little!"
Xie Weixing glanced at him with a half-smile, snorted coldly, and said softly: "Very good, you don't need to worry about it."
The topic just got further and further away, and only Ana Shen kept his head lowered, not looking at the two of them, nor saying another word.
It was already evening when I came out of the study. Xie Weixing walked leisurely to the Nuange where An Yu lived next door. The procrastinating pace reached An Yu's ears in Nuange, and her mind was immediately distracted.
"Have you eaten?" When An Yu looked up, he saw a tall and elegant man walking on the moon. In the warm candlelight, his whole body was dyed with a faint halo, as if he suddenly appeared in the sky. The immortal in the mortal world was handsome and cheerful, which made her feel swayed.
Xie Weixing didn't answer. He just turned around and sat down. He tilted his head and smiled at her: "Very good."
An Yu was a little startled for a moment when he heard such an unexpected answer. What's good? Is the food delicious? It was indeed delicious, but he didn't even use his chopsticks, so how could he know it was good
The warm scene between the two made Lu Yi, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but smile softly. Fosang, who was walking into the room, saw her smiling inexplicably and couldn't help but ask: "What are you laughing at?"
Upon hearing this, An Yu raised his head and followed Fu Sang's gaze, only to see Lu Yi's unretracted smile lingering on the corner of her mouth. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, what are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha - it's natural to laugh when there's a happy event." Xie Weixing gave a rare happy laugh and hugged An Yu who was leaning on the bedside and holding up chopsticks, but he quickly paused again.
Sensing his stiffness, An Yu smiled: "My injury has improved a lot. Now I can sit up and eat by myself."
Fosang stretched out a hand, and An Yu stretched out his right hand after a while. Fosang examined the patient for a while, then nodded and said, "You can get out of bed and walk around tomorrow. But don't be too intense, otherwise the wound will still become inflamed."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Fosang." An Yu smiled happily. She could finally get out of bed and walk around. If she got out of bed, her legs would shrink.
However, An Yu was woken up before dawn the next day.
To be precise, he was woken up by someone who hurriedly came to deliver news to Xie Weixing. An Yu called the maid who kept watch overnight to inquire, only to learn that a minister in the court had been killed by the Lu family!
"Go and spread this news, and then give this letter to Lord Zhongli."
"yes."
After explaining everything, Xie Weixing turned around and saw An Yu coming in. He frowned: "Why are you here?"
An Yu didn't answer him, but murmured: "Who died?"
"Sir Wei Encheng," Xie Weixing paused almost imperceptibly, and then replied, "Because he resisted the Lu family face to face in the court, he was forcibly imprisoned by Lu Cong. In just one day, he was tortured to death by the Lu family. What the spies just said According to reports, Mr. Wei has a total of seventy-two wounds on his body. His face has been scratched, one ear has been cut off, and the fingers on both hands have been cut off..." Xie Weixing stopped talking when he saw An Yu's face turning pale.
An Yu's chest was heaving. The Lu family...if he had no value to them, would he be tortured to death like this? She was so frightened that she was actually glad that she had escaped!
"When are you going to take action? The Lu family...are they really so cruel?!" She said this with gritted teeth.
Xie Weixing sighed softly and said: "Although the current torture is serious, it is rarely used. Mr. Wei has always been upright and has always been at odds with the Lu family. This time, the Lu family just found an excuse to get rid of him." That’s all…”
"Then there's no need to be so cruel! How can they do it?!" It's not like An Yu has never seen dead people, even broken limbs everywhere, it's not like she hasn't seen them before, but this time she tortured a person alive. , such a method is really outrageous!
"We have already made arrangements regarding the Lu family's affairs, and we will be able to close the net soon."
"Okay, when the time comes, I will definitely see their fate with my own eyes!"
She never takes the initiative to provoke others, but this is not because she is weak, but because she does not want to take the time to think about it. Now that she has encountered someone who is worse than a beast, if she continues to ignore him, she may no longer be her!
