Before going out, Yu She's eyes darkened, avoiding Zhong Wan by trying to get another cloak, grabbing someone, and whispering a few words.
Time waits for no one, Zhong Wan didn't ask anyone to set a car, and wanted to ride with everyone. Yu She didn't persuade him, but ordered someone to prepare a fast horse. Among the hundred generals, Zhong Wan asked the number of people and felt that it was almost enough.
"Not enough." Yu She instructed his generals while wearing his cape, "Bring my handwriting and ask Jingzhao House to transfer troops, generals..."
Yu She glanced at Lin Si and asked with a frown, "Where is Zhuangzi?"
Lin Si hurriedly took out a drawing from his arms, pointed to the circled place in the drawing, Yu She glanced at it, and said, "These official roads are blocked, and all the surrounding post houses are blocked. All the people who came and went with the news were detained, not a single one was allowed to be released."
Lin Si gasped, Yu She looked at Zhong Wan, and said coldly, "Aren't you also worried that this is a trick?"
Zhong Wan nodded, "Yes..."
But no matter how deep the strategy is, in the face of absolute military strength, it is all empty talk.
The few people stopped talking, and went out to mount the horse. Yu She only ordered a dozen generals to follow, and all the others were in the rear.
After leaving the city, several people dismounted, and the generals wrapped cotton with cloth and wrapped the horse's hooves.
Lin Si gave Zhong Wan a puzzled look, and Zhong Wan said lightly, "Yu She wants to hear... what are they going to say."
Lin Si looked at Yu She in disbelief.
A dozen people rode their horses quickly, and in less than two hours they arrived at Zhuangzi, where Xuan Rui was hiding.
Tang Ming hasn't come yet.
The others were waiting outside Zhuangzi. Lin Si quietly sneaked into Zhuangzi, cooperated with Yan Pingshan, and quietly opened a small door. Zhong Wan and Yu She sneaked in through the small door. Lurking all over Zhuangzi, everyone's hands and feet were very light, and they did not disturb the other people in Zhuangzi.
Yan Pingshan didn't dare to let Xuan Rui notice it, so he didn't go to find Zhong Wan, and only explained to Lin Si a convenient place to hide.
Yu She and Zhong Wan quietly walked into the cubicle of the study. Taking advantage of the moonlight, Lin Si gestured to Zhong Wan, "I'll go to the room. If there is an emergency, the master will call me and I will send a signal to the outside.
Zhong Wan nodded, the bamboo leaves outside the window moved slightly, and Lin Si had already turned out of the window and jumped onto the roof.
In the darkness, Zhong Wan and Yu She stood against the wall, speechless to each other.
After waiting for a full hour, there were lights shaking outside, Yan Pingshan coughed twice, and someone walked in.
Zhong Wan suddenly opened his eyes.
On the other side of the wall, Yan Pingshan said eagerly: "Just say what you want to say, my lord... You can't stay here for a long time, you still... "
Xuan Rui said vaguely: "I know, I know."
There were a few sounds of tea cups coming from outside the wall, and someone took the door and went out, probably Yan Pingshan.
One person let out a long sigh, and Zhong Wan's eyes shrank suddenly... It was Tang Ming as expected.
Zhong Wan looked at Yu She subconsciously, and Yu She shook her head slightly.
Zhong Wan was here to catch Tang Ming, but Yu She was not.
After spending so much effort, Yu She just wanted to hear what this person who Zhong Wan had been protecting for many years would say at this moment.
On the other side of the wall...
Tang Ming sighed: "Your Highness has suffered."
Xuan Rui said hesitantly, "Is the Qian'an case... over?"
"It's said, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone." Tang Ming sighed, "Yu Xiaowang took the blame for Gui Yuan with all his strength, but he didn't tell the difference for you in front of the emperor. The emperor is suspicious. I'm no longer worried about the lord."
Xuan Rui said eagerly: "Then what should I do? I can't hide in Tibet forever! Someone in Qian'an wants to kill me and I can't go back, but my younger brother and sister are still in Beijing, I..."
"Have you ever thought that the two little masters might be someone else's hold on you?"
"This… "
Tang Ming sighed: "Have you ever thought about how you got to this dilemma step by step?"
Xuan Rui: "Why didn't you think about it? It's all about this longevity festival. If the emperor suddenly asked us to come to Beijing to celebrate the longevity festival this year, we would have been fine in Qian'an, I..."
"No." Tang Ming sighed, "It was wrong from the beginning. Although Wang Ye was still young, he should still remember that after King Ning left that day, the emperor made an exception and asked you to be ranked as a noble, right?"
Xuan Rui was dumbfounded: "Yes..."
Tang Ming asked: "You are not wrong, how come you are now the king of the county?"
Xuan Rui explained: "It's Zhong Wan for me..."
"He lied to you and wrote a letter for you, saying that you have no virtue and talent, that you can't afford the title of prince, and he gave away the title passed down to you by your father!" Tang Ming frowned, "If it wasn't so, what would happen today? It's not that difficult to do! You never thought about it, why would Zhong Wan and the others do this?"
Xuan Rui's tone was hesitant: "Maybe it's to... show goodwill to the emperor and let the emperor know that I have no arrogance."
Tang Ming sighed again. He lowered his voice and said, "Who did Zhong Wan rely on to survive before returning to Qian'an?"
Xuan Rui was silent for a moment, "Yu She..."
Tang Ming said coldly, "That Yu Ziyou is the emperor's son!"
In the darkness, Yu She clenched his teeth tightly, but he didn't rush out to break Tang Ming's neck.
On the other side of the wall, Tang Ming sighed, "The prince still doesn't understand when it's connected like this? Zhong Wan insisted that you hand over the throne of the prince to someone else. Who is it for, you can't tell?"
Xuan Rui gasped.
Tang Ming sighed: "Speaking of which... Zhong Wan has a deep affection for the little prince Yu. In order to repay the little prince Yu for saving his life, he cleared the obstacles for him a few years ago and took you as his father. The qualifications for revenge, if you are still a prince, today... you may not be able to fight with a few princes."
Xuan Rui seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't hurt me, how can I fight with the princes?!"
"Prince Ning almost succeeded the throne that day. You are his eldest son, so why can't you fight? Besides, where is the prince now? You are forced to fight." Tang Ming said, "The prince wants to. The days of being a mermaid are too long! The emperor has murderous intentions, and the prince can't avoid it!"
Xuan Rui murmured: "I... I still want to see Zhong Wan again."
"I have planned for the lord so far. The lord does not miss me and has no resentment at all, but the lord has to go to see Zhong Wan... Forgive me, I have to say something ugly." Tang Ming asked, "My lord, you have been with Zhong Wan for many years. Whether Zhong Wan has second thoughts, you must know better than me, after so many years... You really have no doubts about him?"
Tang Ming said in a low voice, "Zhong Wan returned to Qian'an that day... Your lord didn't notice anything wrong?"
There was silence again.
"Before leaving the capital..." Xuan Rui's voice was hoarse, "The imperial doctor who has been taking care of us once gave Zhong Wan a packet of poison."
Tang Ming was startled, "What is that?"
Xuan Rui was silent for a moment, "A pack of poison, after the medicine is administered, the attack will take three days... The imperial doctor asked Zhong Wan to put the medicine in Prince Yu's mansion and poison Prince Yu and Yu She to death. The imperial doctor said that Zhong Wan would spend time with them every day. Getting up and sleeping in the same place, it is very convenient to poison, so... I avenged my father's great revenge."
Yu She's breathing suddenly became heavier.
Zhong Wan closed his eyes, he didn't want to listen anymore.
Tang Ming said slowly: "Zhong Wan must have stopped."
"No." Xuan Rui said in a low voice, "So when he first returned to Qian'an, I was a little worried... I didn't dare to ask, whether it was the wrong time that he didn't dare to go, or because he was afraid that I couldn't go down, or whether ,still… "
Tang Ming said on behalf of Xuan Rui: "It's because he has long since left the Ning Palace, and he doesn't want to take revenge for Ning Wang at all."
Xuan Rui lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Everyone said that my father was murdered by Yu Wang's mansion. I hated them so much that day... Zhong Wan stayed at the enemy's house for three months. I thought he was doing it for revenge, but later ... He wasn't poisoned, I couldn't help but suspect something."
"But, but..." Xuan Rui said eagerly, "but later, it wasn't fake that Zhong Wan ran for our house. I gradually forgot about it, but every time I think about it, I feel... I have a lump in my heart."
Tang Ming sighed: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, and you follow King Ning."
Xuan Rui stammered, "It's just that after returning to Beijing, within a few days, Zhong Wan had a private meeting with Yu She, and I was confused again..."
Tang Ming was surprised: "Have he met with Little Prince Yu as soon as he returned to Beijing?"
"Yes." Xuan Rui nodded and said softly, "On the day we entered the palace, Zhong Wan was supposed to be waiting for Xuan Yu and me outside the palace, but he disappeared after coming out of the palace, so I sent someone to look for him. He came back not long after, I asked him where he went, he said that the hired bearer didn't know where to go and got lost, but I asked the person who was looking for him, and he obviously said... Zhong Wan, he went to Yu The palace is gone."
Tang Ming paused, "I don't need to say more about this. As soon as I returned to Beijing, I went to look for Yu Xiaowang, and I deliberately kept it from you. This..."
Xuan Rui whispered: "In these days in Beijing, Zhong Wan ran to Prince Yu's Mansion several times, I... I didn't dare to ask, I could only pretend I didn't see it, and I didn't know it."
Tang Ming said: "What did he do, you should know by now, right? Who knows if it was the matter of framing your personal relationship with the fiefdom officials or not."
Xuan Rui's voice was very low: "As long as he doesn't hurt me, I can pretend not to know..."
Tang Ming said: "But you already know it now, and you should also understand, who can rely on and who can't rely on? After all these years, Zhong Wan, he... may not have doubted you."
"He was suspicious of me, I know." Xuan Rui hesitated, "That year... that year..."
Tang Ming hurriedly asked, "What?"
Xuan Rui was terrified and seemed to be relying on Tang Ming. He couldn't help but quickly said, "That year, before the old doctor died, he forced him to ask him... ask him..."
"Ask him if he didn't poison Yu She that day, whether he was afraid of Qian'an being implicated, or was he not willing to kill the enemy, Zhong Wan said—"
Tang Ming was dumbfounded: "What did Gui Yuan say?"
Xuan Rui said in a trembling voice, "Zhong Wan didn't say anything, just turned around and left. At that time... there were rumors outside that Zhong Wan had an affair with Prince Yu in Beijing, and that he was in Prince Yu's mansion two years ago. There must be a reason for how the hospital is.”
Separated by a wall, Zhong Wan leaned against the wall, his chest heaving up and down.
"The old doctor thinks that Zhong Wan is sorry for my father, before he died, will... will..." Xuan Rui whispered, "I put the poison that was given to Zhong Wan in his meals... But it's okay! He didn't eat much! It was rescued! The imperial doctor told me that, it's not my fault! I only found out later! And the old doctor was also loyal to my father and king... So... "
Xuan Rui's voice was trembling: "I really didn't instruct the old doctor to do this, but I always felt that Zhong Wan was suspicious of me, but after so many years, he has survived, and no one has mentioned this again. I thought it was over, I thought…”
Xuan Rui hurriedly said: "I can't do anything about it! How do I know that the old doctor is going to die and still hate Zhong Wan and want to poison it? At that time, when the rumors were flying all over the sky, Zhong Wanru was not really and Yu Yu. How is She, why, why... Why do such rumors spread? If it's all false, why does Yu She in Beijing let these unbearable rumors go? Zhong Wan himself didn't explain it to us!"
In the compartment, Zhong Wan's fingers trembled. He endured it several times, and finally he couldn't help it. With a "wow", a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Yu She's face changed suddenly, and he hissed: "Return to Yuan!!!"
Between the lights and flint, Tang Mingxuanrui outside the cubicle was shocked. Before they could react, Lin Si broke through the door outside, and the generals rushed in. Behind the general was a Xuan Rui who was secretly ordered to bring by Yu She. Yu and Xuan follow the heart.
Xuan Yu's face was pale, she was pushed forward and stared at Xuan Rui blankly.
Xuan Rui was terrified by this battle, and he didn't react for a long time. He was sluggish for a moment, and said dumbly, "You two... why are you here?"
Xuan Yu's voice trembled: "Brother... What did you just say?"
Xuan Rui only saw Lin Si, but he wasn't too scared. He couldn't tell if these people came from his own house to save him, so he just said blankly, "You don't understand, I'll turn around and tell you, why are you here? Are these people brought by you?"
Xuan Yu looked at Xuan Rui in disbelief, and was still asking, "You just said... Zhong Wan is here to harm us?"
Xuan Rui said angrily: "I didn't say that! I'm just... being a person has selfishness, you don't understand it yet, I'll tell you later!"
"I don't understand..." Xuan Yu's voice was hoarse, "I still don't know how the father died, but... Zhong Wan is only for us, so it's not true?"
Xuan Rui glanced at Lin Si with a guilty conscience. He knew that Lin Si was Zhong Wan's confidant. He was afraid of what he would say to Zhong Wan. In a hurry, he pushed Xuan Yu and said in a low voice, "Let's talk later!"
Xuan Yu was pushed to the ground, trembling all over, he stumbled to his feet and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know anything, I don't know anything, but... But over the years, it was Zhong Wan who brought me up... Teach me He is the one who can read, and he is the one who makes me understand.
Xuan Yu broke down in tears and was still muttering, "He is the one who taught me to write benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith..."
With tears in his eyes, Xuan Congxin couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and grabbed Xuan Rui's collar, angrily said: "Xuan Rui!!! He was only sixteen back then! He is one year younger than you are now! This time I almost lost my life in the southern border! What are you trying to do? You have been struggling with life and death for so many years, just trying to make you so suspicious?!"
