At first, Wen Yantong thought he had heard it wrong, and said cautiously, "Your Highness Fifth... what do you mean?"
Cheng Xin explained with a smile: "Dan Li should have told you about this, it is the death row prisoner's stand-in."
Only then did Wen Yantong understand, nodded and said, "Is it so fast?"
She counted the days carefully, and found that Chi Jingxi had been gone for more than half a month. Before he left, he did explain this matter.
Because Chi Jingxi had said that he had left this matter to Cheng Xin, Wen Yantong believed in His Highness the Fifth Highness's ability to handle affairs very much, so he didn't worry about this matter.
I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Cheng Xin said, "You packed all your things in secret these two days, and in the night after two days, I will send someone to knock on your door. When the time comes, you just come out with them, and you don't have to go to the academy anymore."
Wen Yantong nodded, "Then what will happen in the academy after I fake my death?"
Cheng Xin said, "Although there is no precedent, it should be a pension for your parents and a simple funeral for you."
Wen Yantong said, "Then if they went to Chang'an..."
Cheng Xin said, "Don't worry, Shan Li has already sent someone to make arrangements in Chang'an. You just need to move out of the academy."
Now that he has said that, Wen Yantong has nothing to ask.
They have arranged things in detail and thought of everything, so naturally there is nothing she can worry about.
After Wen Yantong drank Cheng Xin's scented tea, he went back to the academy slowly, just when Zhang Jieran was holding a book to have an academic exchange with her.
Wen Yantong just remembered that Zhang Jieran didn't know about the feigned death. It would be inappropriate to say it suddenly now. Naturally, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
But Zhang Jieran sincerely regarded her as a friend. If he didn't tell her about it, something happened unexpectedly, and his mood would be affected.
In such a dilemma, Zhang Jieran saw her tangled thoughts, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You seem to have something on your mind?"
Wen Yantong shook his head hurriedly, "No, it's just that there are some problems stuck in my heart, and I can't think of a solution."
As a super academic, Zhang Jieran was very enthusiastic, "If you have any problems, if you don't dislike my knowledge, you can tell me and let me try."
Wen Yantong opened the book and clicked on a question casually, Zhang Jieran took it seriously and helped her solve the question seriously.
That night, Wen Yantong started cleaning things up. When moving from the double bedroom to Chi Jingxi's bedroom, many things were moved by Fu Tanghuan's servants, so they didn't move too much.
After Wen's house was completed, he moved out a lot, and this time, he really didn't have much left.
The guards sent by Cheng Xin were all good at kung fu, and they walked silently while holding Wen Yantong's big and small bags, and quietly took the things out of the academy at night.
Wen Yantong almost emptied his things in two days, attending classes in the academy during the day as if nothing had happened, and packing his luggage at night.
Two days later, in the middle of the night, Wen Yantong felt like he was doing something important, and he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep.
She was neatly dressed, lying on the bed, waiting for someone to knock on the door.
Some basic necessities still have to be kept, such as the quilt on the bed, the decorations on the table, and the books on the bookshelf, but first replaced with waste paper.
Anyway, as Cheng Xin said, when the time comes, set a big fire, and keep burning all the slag inside, and nothing can be identified.
It's just a pity that this is the place where Chi Jingxi lives. Anyway, she and Chi Jingxi lived here for a while, and those memories are still like what happened yesterday.
Naturally people miss.
But in order to escape, the house still cannot be kept.
Wen Yantong lay down for most of the night, when everyone was sound asleep, someone knocked gently on her door.
Wen Yantong took the last few odds and ends, put on a spacious black cape, covered his face with the hood, and quietly left the academy with the guards.
Not long after she left, a fire ignited from the dormitory, filled with oil, and burned violently in an instant, and when the night wind blew, the fire rushed upwards.
When people found out, the entire dormitory was completely enveloped in flames, rendering the night into light, and then screams and shouts rang out, breaking the tranquility of the academy.
Wen Yantong stayed up most of the night, and fell asleep when she returned to Wen's house. Thinking that she would never have to get up early to go to class, she felt relieved and slept very soundly.
The people in the academy worked until dawn to put out the fire. The fire was not extinguished in the end, but everything was almost burnt out, the frame of the house completely collapsed and turned into ashes, and the fire naturally became smaller.
After the fire was extinguished, the servants sat slumped around, and when the dawn broke in the east and the light came back to the earth, this exquisite and luxurious dormitory also became barren.
The students came to watch, and the master also came to ask questions early. After knowing that Wen Yantong lived there, all kinds of embarrassing discussions were overwhelming, and theories emerged endlessly.
Some people said that Wen Yantong was too sharp, and he was usually looked after by the young master, but now that the young master is gone, naturally no one cares about him, so he was locked up in the room and burned to death.
Some people said that it was because Wen Yantong was a commoner who was bullied all the time in the academy, but after climbing up to the young master, his status rose sharply, which attracted the eyes of many people and jealousy, so they wanted to harm him.
But no matter what the guess was, it was impossible for anyone to guess the real situation.
When people went in and dragged out a burnt corpse, everyone realized that Wen Yantong had really been burned to death.
The one who was hit the hardest was Zhang Jieran.
As soon as he heard that Yantong's bedroom was on fire, he immediately put on his outer robe and rushed over. Seeing the fire raging, he also joined the firefighting team, running back and forth with a bucket in his arms.
Because he was too panicked, he fell several times on the road, and his whole body was wet.
Who knows that in the end, only the burnt black people were dragged out by the servants.
Zhang Jieran collapsed, hugged Ren Gan in his arms, and burst into tears.
When the people around heard his cries, they felt even miserable, and many of them also started to cry.
The second saddest person is Zhao Yu.
Although Wen Yantong is not well-behaved in class on weekdays, he always loses his mind, sometimes sleeps, or whispers to Mu Yang.
But Zhao Yu liked her arithmetic very much, and always felt that she might know more arithmetic skills than he mastered. He originally wanted to train her to be a pillar of the country, but who would have thought that a fire would turn this once-in-a-hundred-year His genius was taken away.
Zhao Yu was very fond of the eccentric Wen Yantong, so the bad news came so suddenly that he couldn't hold on for a while, and fainted on the spot.
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly carried him away and invited a doctor. After Zhao Yu woke up, it was already the afternoon of the same day, a carp stood up from the bed and asked Wen Yantong to catch this person.
It is said that after Wen Yantong confirmed his death, he cried bitterly, and the snot can get long.
All the people in the academy, those they knew and did not know, were all sad for her. However, Wen Yantong himself slept comfortably in Wen's house, and when he woke up, he ordered someone to prepare a meal.
Now I can get rid of Songhai Academy completely. Although the life inside is quite happy, getting up early to go to class is indeed a problem. Now that I am suddenly freed, I just feel that a big thing that was pressing on my heart is gone.
Wen Yantong lay in Wen's house for a few days, Cheng Xin sent news that the academy had sent someone to Chang'an, and planned to find a place here to give Wen Yantong a simple farewell, and then send the bones back wrapped Chang'an.
Wen Yantong didn't know where the death row prisoner's corpse that emerged from the corner would be sent, but she was still a little curious when she heard that someone said that she was going to have a funeral for herself.
So on that day, she put on a plain dress and a veiled hat, and then went to Songhai Academy in person to meet the farewell ceremony that those people organized for her.
She thought she would be perfunctory, but she didn't want to go, only to find out that everyone at the scene was crying like a dead relative, and some faces she didn't know at all were crying.
The sound of the suona accompanied by hysterical cries was creepy.
But among them, Zhang Jieran made her very concerned.
This person didn't know how many times he cried in the past few days, his eyes were swollen, and Junxiu's face became pale because of sadness, as if he was extremely sad.
But Master Zhao was afraid of being sad, so he didn't attend at all.
Wen Yantong felt very uncomfortable, and thought that if he had time in the future, he would go to solve this knot with Zhang Jieran in person.
She saw Mrs. Hua who had been friends with her in the past also came, standing in the crowd with red eyes, and a few students from Ding Liutang who usually talked to her.
Compared with those who cried loudly, the sad expressions of these people moved her more.
It turned out that after Chi Jingxi and the others, there were still people who cared about her.
It is not in vain that she has lived in the academy for so long.
Wen Yantong's accidental death made Songhai Academy shrouded in a sad atmosphere for several days, but it didn't take long for people to start their normal lives again.
Her departure doesn't seem to matter much, except for some who are bitter about it.
Wen Yantong recuperated at home for a while.
Looking back on her past life in Songhai Academy, she was knocked and broke her leg, and was punished by her master to copy articles, and she tried her best to deal with him in martial arts class.
Sometimes he will live in harmony with the strict Li Boyuan.
Her originally emaciated and malnourished body grew into a normal appearance after being specially nursed by her. She grew taller and her complexion turned white.
The places where the bones are obvious on the body are gradually rounded.
These seem to be the traces left by her after she came to this world.
She has fully integrated into this world, not only becoming a character in the book, but also changing the direction of the original plot, successfully saving Cheng Yanchuan.
Wen Yantong doesn't know what kind of role she plays in the book, but she only knows that since she knows what others don't, she must try her best to change what others cannot change.
After resting in Wen Zhai for a period of time, Wen Yantong started to pack his bags and asked his servants to move around more to find out the way from Chaoge to Yibei.
She was going to Yibei, to Chi Jingxi's side.
