Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Yi subconsciously, and asked with her eyes, but Xiao Yi shrugged, confused.
Soon, the owner of the voice entered the room. It was a handsome young man in a blue robe. Like his voice, his appearance was familiar to Nangong Yue.
"It's you!" Lily behind Nangong Yue couldn't help blurting out.
Nangong Yue and Baihe once had a relationship with this young man outside Bailinzhuang.
The young man's eyes flickered, and he also looked surprised, and he clasped his fists and said, "So it's this lady, and this sister."
Except for Nangong Yue, Baihe and the young man, everyone else in the room was confused and looked at each other. Fu Yunyan blurted out and asked, "Ah Yue, Baihe, do you know my cousin Wen Yu?"
"It's just a one-sided relationship."
Nangong Yue said it easily, but Wen Yu said seriously: "The concubine is my savior." He clasped his fists again cautiously, "Wen Yu thank the concubine for saving my life!"
Fu Yunyan looked at Nangong Yue, then at Wen Yu, and asked curiously: "Ah Yue, what's going on?"
Baihe volunteered to speak for Nangong Yue, and told them exactly what happened when they went to Bailin Village with Nanny Wen to investigate, but accidentally encountered Wen Yu being chased by a group of people as escaped slaves.
Fu Yunyan was filled with righteous indignation when she heard that, if it wasn't for the fact that the relevant people had already been dealt with by the emperor and Nangong Yue, she really wanted to teach them a lesson.
Yong Yang's brows were furrowed even more, he couldn't hide his distressed expression, "Brother Yu, why didn't you tell your grandmother about this?"
Wen Yu showed embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, I don't want you to worry, and the matter has already passed, so I didn't say anything." He sighed in shame, "I was too stupid to be abducted... At that time If I hadn't met Shi Zifei, I'm afraid I might not even be able to keep this life!"
Yong Yang felt even more distressed when he heard it, a little water flashed in his always resolute eyes, he blamed himself and felt sad... If he hadn't lost his young daughter, his grandson wouldn't have been so rough since he was a child...
Fu Yunyan couldn't see that Yong Yang was sad, and deliberately diverted her attention: "Grandmother, Ah Yue has done such a big favor to my cousin, shouldn't we give Ah Yue a big gift?"
However, Nangong Yue pretended to be angry: "Sister-in-law, don't you think I'm your own family?" She deliberately added emphasis on "sister-in-law", and even Fu Yunyan, who had a bright temper, blushed at the words. There was laughter in the room...
It was getting late, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi didn't stay at Yong Yang's place for long, so they left and returned home.
Just got off the Zhulun carriage, Zhu Xing came up to greet him, and reported: "My lord, Lord Feng is here."
"Little Xuanzi?"
The Lord Feng that Zhu Xing was talking about was Feng Shuxuan, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Army Division that Xiao Yi single-handedly picked up. He nodded his head when he heard the words, and asked Nangong Yue pitifully not to wait for him to eat dinner before going. out the front yard.
God knows, he hasn't eaten with his stinky girl for ten whole days!
When Xiao Yi returned to Fufengyuan, he had already missed the time for dinner, Nangong Yue hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the meal, and shared it with him.
Xiao Yi felt sorry for her waiting for him hungry, but he was still happy to be remembered by her.
He naturally held the food for Nangong Yue, and said in his mouth: "Little Xuanzi just came and said that there is news about the person who assassinated Grandma Yongyang."
Nangong Yue hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
Xiao Yi took the fish meat that had been cleaned of bones into her bowl, and said: "The remnants of the previous dynasty."
"The previous court?" Nangong Yue asked in surprise, "Why did it have something to do with the previous court?"
"The Red Feather Army led by Grandmother Yongyang marched south and north, and as a vanguard army took the lead in breaking through the gates of the royal capital, forcing the palace and forcing the former emperor to hang himself." Xiao Yi said casually, "Those who claim to be loyal A scholar, naturally I hate Grandma Yongyang to the bone. Grandma Yongyang was assassinated several times when Dayu was first established, and the poison on her body was also poisoned at that time. Unexpectedly, twenty years have passed, and there are still people who are still unwilling to give up , wanting her life."
"Has it been confirmed?"
"Eat more, you'll lose weight again..." Xiao Yi continued to pick fish for her, and said in his mouth, "I asked Xiao Xuanzi to take people to visit the towns around the capital for a few days, and he reported that it was in Yong'an Town They found a suspicious person in and out of the house, and after setting up an ambush for two days, they finally captured one alive, and they were recruited not long after some interrogation. According to him, they ambush Yong Yang's grandmother for a few days, and took advantage of the opportunity to strike. After a successful blow, they At that time, I mistakenly thought that Yong Yang's grandmother had already held her breath, so she ran away." Speaking of this, he said with some fear, "It's really too dangerous."
Nangong Yue subconsciously patted her chest and let out a long breath.
Perhaps it was because Yong Yang's grandmother was old and her breathing was weak after being injured, and the assassin was worried that people from the mansion would come to her at any time, so she was negligent for a while. But no matter what, Grandmother Yongyang was able to save her life, it is really a bodhisattva blessing!
Nangong Yue secretly planned to stay for two days and asked Fu Yunyan to go to the Yaowang Temple together to fill up the sesame oil money.
After flashing for a while, Nangong Yue found that the dishes in the bowl were piled up. She couldn't help laughing, and asked while eating faster, "Has the person caught it yet?"
"Just now, Xiao Xuanzi came here to ask for his life. I asked him to take five hundred people to Yong'an Town to encircle and suppress." Xiao Yi's peach blossom eyes flashed a bloody murderous look, and he said coldly, "If I can't catch the living ones, I will also kill the dead ones." Don’t care, just don’t let anyone escape.”
Nangong Yue nodded, no matter what, Grandma Yongyang is slowly recovering, and the assassin has been caught, which is really gratifying.
After eating, the maids brought sweet-scented osmanthus tea, Xiao Yi casually handed over a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing, and said, "Zhu Xing just gave me the legend of flying pigeons from Shaanxi."
Shaanxi is the place where Jian Yunxuan's father works, and this letter from Feige should undoubtedly be about Jian Yunxuan.
Nangong Yue took it over and asked impatiently, "What did the higher-ups say?"
"This Jian San is indeed a Mr. Pianpian." When it comes to the words "Mr. Pianpian", Xiao Yi is somewhat disapproving.
Nangong Yue looked down carefully word by word, Jian Yunxuan's reputation in Shaanxi was very good, both civil and military, kind to people, affectionate and righteous, all kinds of deeds were praised... It was so perfect that no one could find a single fault !
Nangong Yue put down the paper, feeling a bit complicated: "Ayi, is it because we care too much?" Maybe Jian Yunxuan is a handsome and good-natured young man? If so, the other party will be They are all worthy of Yuyi Uehara.
Xiao Yi shook his head: "I believe in Xiaobai's intuition." Yuan Lingbai seems to be incapable of writing, but his intuition is often surprisingly sensitive.
Nangong Yue read the paper again, suddenly frowned, and thoughtfully said: "A Yi, look here..."
She slenderly pointed to the middle of the paper, where it was mentioned that a friend of Jian Yunxuan's in the academy suddenly fell into poverty and almost dropped out of school. Jian Yunxuan asked his friend's father to go to the shop under the name of his mother, Mrs. Jian Er Being a steward gave my friend a livelihood, so that friend could continue to study, and expressed his gratitude to Jian Yun.
When Nangong Yue watched it for the first time, she only felt that Jian Yun was declaring righteousness, but when she watched it for the second time, she felt something else. In her opinion, Jian Yunxuan can obviously help her friend in other ways, instead of letting the other party's father do things for Mrs. Jian Er. In this way, this friend may be subject to Jian Yunxuan everywhere in the future, and will no longer be a "friend" ", but "servant".
Xiao Yi was also thoughtful, and after drinking tea, he said: "I'm going to the study in the front yard first, and I have to go to the palace in a while. Don't worry, I will let people follow this clue to continue the investigation. You settle down earlier, don't wait for me."
Nangong Yue knew that he wanted to wait for Feng Shuxuan's reply before entering the palace together, so she got up and sent him out the door.
One day today, from the palace to the palace, even though they took a carriage, after all, they had traveled a long distance and were still very tired. Nangong Yue originally wanted to wait for Xiao Yi to come back, but fell asleep before she knew it.
Sleeping until Yinshi, Nangong Yue woke up in a daze, subconsciously looked to the other side through the partition, saw the pit was empty by the candlelight in the banquet room, and Xiao Yi hadn't come back yet.
This time, Nangong Yue felt a little uneasy. She tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.
In this way, when the first light of dawn lit up outside the window, Nangong Yue finally heard the door open gently.
"Ayi, you're back."
Xiao Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, walked into the inner room from the banquet room, and said distressedly: "Stinky girl, why are you still awake."
"I've slept. It's just that I was too tired yesterday, so I woke up easily." Nangong Yue changed the subject and said, "What happened to the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
"Xiao Xuanzi's work is pretty reliable, nothing went wrong, everyone has already been sent to the Ministry of Punishment."
Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"I went to Xiaobai's place after I came back from the palace." Xiao Yi was extremely annoyed. He was afraid of disturbing his stinky girl. If he had known earlier, he should have come back first before leaving, so as not to worry her. Xiao Yi sat down on the edge of her bed and said, "Smelly girl, I'm going to visit southern Xinjiang in a few days."
Nangong Yue's eyes widened in surprise, "Nanjiang?" She thought for a while and asked, "Is it because of Baiyue?"
Xiao Yi had previously told her about his and Guan Yubai's plans for Baiyue.
Southern Xinjiang is the barrier to the south of Dayu, Baiyue, the "enemy", must not be lost, but should be firmly grasped in Xiao Yi's hands, so as to ensure that the Zhennan Palace will not be completely hidden in the future.
Xiao Yi nodded, and said: "Originally, Xiaobai and I had this plan, but we have not been able to find a suitable opportunity. With the matter of Grandma Yongyang, Xiaobai felt that the timing was just right, and I could hunt down the remnants of the previous dynasty." In the name of leaving the royal capital, then quietly transfer to the southern border."
Xiao Yi only came back less than half a year before leaving again, and it was still so far away, Nangong Yue was a little bit reluctant and even more worried.
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly and asked, "Will the emperor agree?"
"Nine times out of ten, there will be no problem." Xiao Yi explained, "The emperor has always been jealous of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and now they dare to assassinate Princess Yongyang in the royal capital, which is enough to show their arrogance. I I discussed it with Xiaobai, and I plan to make something more, and then the emperor will allow me to visit Jiangnan privately.... If it is as short as a day or two, if it is as late as three or five days, I have to go."
"Then I'll pack your luggage for you quickly." Nangong Yue counted the time, feeling a little rushed.
Xiao Yi said indifferently: "There is no need to prepare anything..."
"That's how it works." Nangong Yue said anxiously, "You have to prepare two sets of autumn clothes, jackets, boots, commonly used medicines, yes, and amulets... I'm only halfway through your new boots. It’s time to catch up with the day…”
Xiao Yi put his arms around her shoulders, happily listening to her rambling words.
After eating breakfast, Xiao Yi hurried out the door, Nangong Yue sat in a daze for a while, then hurriedly left.
The emperor hadn't issued a decree yet, so Nangong Yue only asked the four maids around her to help prepare, but she still did most of the things by herself.
First, it took two days to drive out the half-finished jacket and boots, and then hurried to the Yaowang Temple to buy some sesame oil money and get back an amulet. After she prepared all the commonly used patent medicines and wound medicines, Xiao Yi finally got the emperor's will.
Nangong Yue put all her things into a carry-on bag, put the amulets into a newly made pouch, and even put the golden silk armor on him.
Over the past few days, Xiao Yi has been watching her go about her business for him, Xiao Yi is both distressed and cheerful, seeing that she is still checking whether she has brought all the things, he hurriedly took her hand and said: "Stinky girl, don't worry about it." Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Nangong Yue's eyes were bright, and she said with a smile: "Be careful on the road. I'll wait for you to come back in the capital."
Xiao Yi hugged her tightly, as if he was reassuring her, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "With you here, I regret my life."
Nangong Yue leaned on his chest, and after a while, she pushed him away with a smile and said, "It's getting late, you should go quickly. I'll take you out."
With an aggrieved expression on his face, Xiao Yi picks up the burden in a dawdly manner.
The two held hands and walked all the way to the second gate, and Xiao Yi reluctantly said goodbye to her.
Nangong Yue watched him get on his horse and gradually disappeared into the night.
Nangong Yue stood at the second gate for a long time. At this time, the autumn atmosphere was already heavy, and the night breeze brought a chill. Baihui, who was standing by the side, took a step forward worriedly, and said, "Shi Zifei, why don't you go back first?"
Nangong Yue nodded and turned back to Fufengyuan.
During the days when Xiao Yi was not around, Nangong Yue was a little listless. Every day she was not managing directors, just reading books, and being a female celebrity, but no matter what she did, she couldn't lift her spirits, and she was lazy all over.
The maidservants looked anxious and tried to make her happy, but it was of no use. They could only secretly hope that the son would come back soon.
This kind of life lasted for nearly half a month, until Zhu Xing asked Baihui to bring a piece of news...
Said that they found the whereabouts of the eldest girl Xiao Fei.
The spies assigned by Xiao Yi in southern Xinjiang had delivered the news that the eldest girl Xiao Fei had run away from home early on, and mentioned that Xiao Fei had sent a letter to King Zhennan saying that she was going to the capital to find Xiao Yi. Hearing that she didn't even bring any money, but took two maidservants with her on the road, Nangong Yue was dumbfounded for a while, while Xiao Yi followed Siyin to investigate carefully on the way from Nanjiang to Wangdu, and found Xiao Faey sent her back to southern Xinjiang.
Thinking of Xiao Fei, Nangong Yue frowned and asked, "Where is she now?"
Baihui hurriedly replied: "My concubine, I found Bai Zhou, the eldest girl's maid, in a small town in Annan Province. At that time, she was almost kidnapped by a kidnapper. The maid said that she went to a Bafang pawn shop to pawn jewelry. , When I came out, I was bumped by a little beggar. When I went back to see the big girl, I found that the money was missing. Then suddenly two big men came out, insisting that they were runaway slaves and concubines... Tao Yao and Bai Zhou tried their best to stop them, and let the eldest girl run away first, and later, she was separated from Tao Yao again."
Nangong Yue only felt a little pain in her head, and asked, "Have you found Miss?"
Baihui shook her head and said: "No. Bai Zhou took people to the inn where they were temporarily staying, but I don't know if they were frightened. The eldest girl and Taoyao didn't go back. They are still looking for it. Zhu Xing said that when there is someone If we hear the news, we will immediately report it to the Crown Princess."
Nangong Yue really didn't know if she should "praise" Xiao Fei's boldness. A weak woman with two maids and no money dared to come to the capital all the way from southern Xinjiang.
Nangong Yue shook her head helplessly, and said meaningfully: "Baihui, tell Zhu Xing that as soon as you find someone, send him back to Southern Xinjiang."
Baihui nodded with comprehension, understanding what Nangong Yue meant.
As long as Xiao Fei didn't arrive in the capital, there was nothing wrong with them sending her back the same way, and they even helped King Zhennan solve a problem, but once Xiao Fei arrived in the capital, Nangong Yue, the elder sister-in-law, had no choice but to greet her.
Although I haven't seen her yet, but I can see her nature from what happened, this Xiao Fei is obviously a big trouble, a big trouble that even Xiao Fang has nothing to do with her, how can Nangong Yue cause trouble for herself?!
