The rain gradually subsided, and pedestrians in twos and threes walked out of the door wearing raincaps or carrying umbrellas, walking in a hurry. Wu Sheyue looked at the still dim and blue sky and said, "You go back first, I will sit here alone for a while."
Sisi originally wanted to say that she could wait outside, but she felt that the young lady must have something on her mind, so she changed her words and said, "Miss, please be careful."
"It's okay, A Li is here."
The rain stopped anyway, so Sisi left the larger umbrella and left alone. Wu Sheyue stood alone at the door of the empty shop, looking at the sparse passers-by in front of her. The damp cold wind blew her away.
A Li appeared in the shop behind her tacitly, waiting for her question.
After a while, she asked in a low voice: "What happened in the palace?"
A Li immediately reported, "It's the prince. He made some arrangements for the autumn examination, but the emperor discovered it. It is said that Tanhua was a quick talker and accidentally said his name wrong in front of the emperor, and the emperor felt that he was the one with the same name. . As a result, I followed the incident of visiting flowers and found many loopholes. Although the emperor immediately wanted this matter to be suppressed, it was still spread. "
Ah~ They actually used the stupid method of naming someone. If they really wanted to trick someone, it would be better to steal the questions. Think about the stolen questions from the college entrance examination in those years... Wait, her point seems to be wrong.
The person Xin Yu can squeeze in will probably not be stupid enough to say the wrong name, so this should be just an opportunity, an opportunity to pile up the loopholes he found in front of the emperor. She frowned and asked, "Then what did Yu Jing do?"
"The master is still in the palace. The emperor asked all the officials who had intervened to enter the palace. This time the emperor was really angry. He pulled out the guard's sword and stabbed Mr. Zhang in the back hall. Now the number one and the second in the ranking are two He was ordered to stay in the palace and was not allowed to go out, and many of the prince's rights were also restricted."
Wu Sheyue nodded and couldn't help laughing, "Xin Yu must have been very busy these two days."
"Yes, I am very worried and in a hurry." A Li was actually hesitant, because his master had not told him whether to tell these things directly.
The rain that had stopped not long ago started to fall again. Wu Sheyue opened her umbrella and said, "Let's go and see his lair." She suddenly thought of the private residence full of flowers in the Royal View, and the sea of begonia flowers. I wonder what happened to those flowers and whether they were pruned properly.
"Miss Third..." But before she could take a step, A Li quickly called her.
Wu Sheyue turned around carefully and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"
"No, it's not." A Li tightened his hand and did not say anything further.
Wu Sheyue just looked at him for a moment and suddenly asked, "Where is Ning'er?" She was very sure.
A Li lowered his head as if in acquiescence. He often returned to his master's private residence and met Ning'er many times, so...
Wu Sheyue did not continue to ask, but said lightly, "I understand." She held an umbrella again and walked into the rain.
That night, when the rain was at its heaviest, Genius Wu Han finally returned. He had not rested all day and night, and his face was full of exhaustion, but if you look at him carefully, there was a trace of happiness among the sadness.
Although he had a hand in Qiu Shi, he didn't actually have much contact with her. He was the prime minister, so he could push away trivial matters. Originally, Wu Ziqi was going to practice with Xin Yu in this autumn examination. He had a position before, but later he was disliked by Xin Yu and sent someone else to replace him.
This time Wu Ziqi was really a blessing in disguise. The people who followed Xin Yu before were now more or less in trouble, and Xin Yu couldn't protect himself and couldn't care about others. Although Wu Ziqi was lame, he was spared a catastrophic disaster in which his skin would peel off even if he died.
But Wu Liuyun was a bit miserable. She had already cultivated a good relationship with Xin Yu, and the Prime Minister even took the initiative to spread rumors about them outside. Therefore, in Wu Liuyun's heart, her union with Xin Yu was a certainty, and she treated herself as a crown princess. Now that her prince was in trouble, she was no less anxious than Xin Yu himself.
Wu Hantian was not so busy in the next few days, and at least he could come back, which showed that he was not affected much. The situation outside is changing, but it is quiet inside the Prime Minister's Mansion. Most people choose to wait quietly for the situation to take shape.
Wu Sheyue was no longer disturbed, and Yu Jing never came again. She could feel at ease and occasionally ask A Li and analyze the general situation.
As far as she could guess, Xin Yu was unprepared for this catastrophe and could only deal with it tiredly. Moreover, his countermeasures had little effect due to the obstruction at every turn by those who were interested (Yu Jing? Political enemies?). It seems that he is about to lose that dazzling title at any time.
But in this extremely tense atmosphere, Yuan'an Festival still came as scheduled.
Yu Jing had talked about this with Wu Sheyue before. Yuan'an is a traditional and important reunion festival. Such a festival where everything is harmonious and harmonious is very incompatible with the major events happening now, and it even comes with a bit of irony.
The culprit wanted by the emperor has not yet been identified, but the Yuan'an Festival banquet must still be held as scheduled. Even if it is a little lighter than in previous years, the tradition cannot be changed.
About half a month later, on the crisp autumn morning of Yuan'an Festival, the girls from the Prime Minister's Mansion all dressed up and went out again.
Next to the carriage at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wu Jinghua saw Wu Liuyun coming out, and said with a smile on his face: "Ah, eldest sister is still so beautiful today."
"Really?" Wu Liuyun glanced at her coldly. Probably because he has been in a bad mood recently, but he looks a bit colder than before.
"Of course, why would the prince be so kind to the eldest sister?"
Seeing that Wu Jinghua mentioned this matter, Wu Liuyun's face became even colder, "Second sister has time to ridicule me, so why not ridicule Princess Mingyue. After all, she is still Princess Mingyue now. When she becomes Princess Royal in the future, second sister will not Opportunity to make these wisecracks.”
"You—" She poked Wu Jinghua in a sore spot. Wu Liuyun ignored her and got into the carriage.
This time, the girls took one car, and Wu Ziqi and the three young men took one. Wu Sheyue originally thought that Wu Ziqi would not come, but Wu Ziqi was unwilling and asked to follow him anyway.
Along the way, none of the four people in the carriage spoke. Wu Jinghua kept glaring at Wu Sheyue. She had a thousand sarcastic words in her heart, but the man in front of her became the princess, and she couldn't do the following...
With such internal injuries suppressed, everyone got out of the car at the gate of the palace and walked in instead. Wu Ziqi had difficulty with his legs and feet and was supported by two young men with great difficulty.
Wu Yin'er walked quietly beside Wu Sheyue and whispered: "Third sister."
"Huh?" She glanced sideways, her attitude much better than before. (To be continued)
