Wei Yi originally thought that the impeachment of Wei Xun by the court might make Wei Xun very angry. He had been thinking about how to tell Wei Xun in the past few days. He never thought that Wei Xun didn't care at all.
"Does His Majesty need to send someone back to explain something?" Wei Yi asked.
"No need." Wei Xun refused without thinking. "The disappearance of the prince is a big deal. If the emperor hears about it before he is found, there are some pedantic people in the court who are eager to cause chaos and who knows what kind of trouble they will take advantage of. General Shen did not report to the emperor, but asked me for help, which proves that he thinks the same as I do."
Everyone has worked so hard for so long, it can't be ruined by his words.
"Then let them impeach us?" Wei Yi was a little anxious.
Wei Xun had been away for two years, and his relationship with the emperor had become less frequent. During this period, the emperor was very likely to believe in the slander of those with ulterior motives. If he really became suspicious of Wei Xun, when Wei Xun returned two years later, perhaps he would no longer have a place in the court.
Moreover, it has only been less than three months since he left Beijing, and something like this has happened. Wei Yi couldn't help but sweat for Wei Xun.
"Have you forgotten how the emperor ascended the throne?" Wei Xun looked forward with a cold gaze.
When the late emperor's sixteen sons competed for favor, the emperor won the first place, successfully inherited the throne, and reigned for more than thirty years. This is enough to show that he is not a stupid person. How could he easily believe the one-sided words of others and break with Wei Xun.
The emperor is not old.
After hearing this, Wei Yi was surprised at first, and then lowered his head.
Regarding the imperial power, Wei Yi did not dare to make any comments on his own.
After Wei Xun left, Ling Qingwan stayed in Taohua Village for two days. During these two days, she had no appetite and only hoped to find Ling Xiao's whereabouts as soon as possible.
An unarmed weak woman, plus a man who lost his memory due to being hunted. If Ling Xiao is targeted by the villain again, he may not be able to escape.
“Boom boom boom.”
At that time, Ling Qingwan was staring at the amulet in her hand in a daze.
Hearing a knock on the door, she looked up and saw Huzi coming in with a bowl of white rice, which was covered with a thick layer of minced meat and vegetables.
"Miss, you haven't eaten since yesterday noon. Even if you are not hungry, you should at least eat something. Otherwise, your body will not be able to bear it."
Hu Zi was a bit dull, but he was a very down-to-earth person. Hearing the caring words and looking at the full bowl of food on the table, Ling Qingwan was moved. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the chopsticks.
"What about you? Have you eaten?" Ling Qingwan looked up and asked Hu Zi.
"I ate it." Hu Zi smiled innocently and scratched his head.
Ling Qingwan also smiled.
She and Hu Zi, one of them had a brother missing and his whereabouts were unknown, and one of them had a lover who had fled with a strange man and was now missing. Seeing Hu Zi acting like nothing had happened, he must have been extremely tormented, no better than Ling Qingwan.
Thinking of this, Ling Qingwan felt a little sorry for the burly man in front of her.
Hu Zi was relieved to see Ling Qingwan eating. He stood up to leave, but just as he reached the door, Hong Chang rushed in and almost bumped into him.
"Miss!" Hong Chang didn't care about Hu Zi and ran straight to Ling Qing Wan. "The young master has been found! He is in the nearby Haitang Town!"
"Really?" Ling Qingwan was so excited that she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
"Really!" Hong Chang nodded heavily. "Commander Song and Mingyue are here now. After you finish your meal, I will take you there."
Finally finding Ling Xiao, Ling Qingwan was in no mood to eat. She walked around the table and urged Hong Chang to take her over.
When passing Hu Zi, Ling Qingwan stopped.
"Hu Zi, come with us." she said softly.
Ling Qingwan knew that Hu Zi missed Liu Er. Since Ling Xiao had found her, and Liu Er was on the same path with him, she was probably with Ling Xiao now.
When Hu Zi heard Ling Qingwan's words, his eyes lit up.
The three of them set off immediately and headed for Haitang Town.
Haitang Town is not big, it looks like an ordinary town. Hu Zi is familiar with this area, and with Hong Chang leading the way, Ling Qingwan quickly found the restaurant where Ling Xiao is now.
As soon as she entered, she saw the mess on the ground. Ling Qingwan was stunned for a moment, looked around, and saw a familiar figure in the corner.
Ling Xiao's limbs were tied up with ropes, and he was glaring fiercely at Song Tian who was standing next to him.
"Brother!" Ling Qingwan was excited, tears falling like broken strings.
Just as she was about to run forward, Mingyue grabbed her.
"Miss." Mingyue looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Ling Qingwan only then realized something was wrong.
Whether it was Song Tian or Mingyue, everyone present had a heavy look on their faces. Ling Xiao was the same. Logically, Ling Xiao had been away from home for a long time, and seeing his most precious sister, he should be overjoyed.
But now, not only did Ling Xiao not feel the slightest joy of reuniting with his family, he didn't even look at Ling Qingwan.
"I helped the young master to diagnose. His wounds have almost healed and he is fine. The only thing is a lump on the back of his head, which was probably caused by a rock when he was escaping. The lump hurt his brain and the young master has lost all his memories. The servants have tried, but the young master can't remember anything from the past."
Hong Chang opened her mouth and explained to Ling Qingwan.
After hearing this, Ling Qingwan trembled all over.
"I was afraid that you would worry, so I thought of waiting until you arrived and saw the young master with your own eyes, and then I would tell you. At least the young master is still alive, which is a good thing." Hongxiu felt very distressed for Ling Qingwan.
"Is there any way to cure it?" Ling Qingwan paused for a moment, forcing herself to calm down.
"No." Hongxiu shook her head helplessly. "We can only wait for the young master to remember it himself."
Her nose felt sore and Ling Qingwan looked towards Ling Xiao, tears already welling up in her eyes.
"Where is Liu'er? Where is she?" Finally, she looked around again. Not finding Liu'er, Ling Qingwan casually asked Mingyue and the others.
"Next door." Mingyue replied.
Ling Qingwan glanced at Hu Zi, and Hu Zi got the signal and ran to the next room without stopping.
After a while, a woman's voice was heard from next door.
"Huzi? Why are you here?"
"Who are those people? What are they going to do to Wan?"
Hu Zi explained everything to Liu Er, and after a while, Liu Er finally calmed down.
Hu Zi's sweetheart came back, but where was her brother? Her brother could no longer remember her.
"Why are you crying? I didn't bully you."
Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Qingwan with disdain in his eyes.
In his opinion, those who arrested him were all instructed by Ling Qingwan.
"How can you speak to the young lady like that! She is your sister!" Mingyue was anxious and quickly blamed Lingxiao.
How much Ling Xiao loved Ling Qingwan in the past, Luluo and Hongshang had only been with Ling Qingwan for a short time, so they didn't know, but Mingyue knew it best. Besides, she was once Ling Xiao's person, and it was Ling Xiao who sent her to Ling Qingwan to protect her.
And along the way, everyone present saw how much suffering Ling Qingwan endured and how many tears she shed in order to find Ling Xiao.
"She's not my sister!"
