When they arrived at the gate of the government office, Yang Wu was already waiting at the door.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and looked inside the carriage. Wang Chi was still sitting motionless in the carriage.
"Wang Chi, get off the car, we're here."
Wen Qingzhu reminded him, and Wang Chi turned around and quickly got out of the car.
He took the initiative to stand next to Yang Wu and said to Wen Qingzhu in a hoarse voice: "Madam, I will think about it carefully tonight and then see you tomorrow."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu didn't force him, at least his performance was pretty good.
Wang Chi and Yang Wu spoke again and walked inside alone.
Wen Qingzhu and Yang Wu walked into the Yamen together, talking about the situation at Jia's house.
"This child has a very good character and is a good young man. Since you gave him the name Wang Chi, you must know his fate. I won't say much else. You can make up your own mind."
"Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best. I am waiting for Madam here this time because I want to ask Madam to help take a look at A Ping."
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but look sideways: "Why did you bring this girl here?"
"When the situation in Kangcheng calms down, I plan to take her to the northwest." Yang Wu didn't hide anything and stated his purpose.
This time she stopped immediately: "What are you going to the northwest for?"
Yang Wu looked around and saw that there were still outsiders around. He pointed to the yard in front and said, "Madam, please go check on Aping first. I'm not sure if she is sick."
The two quickly arrived at the courtyard where Yang Wu lived.
Aping was sleeping in the side room. When Wen Qingzhu opened the door and walked in, he saw Yinniang sitting in front of the bed.
"Madam, you are here."
Xi'er opened the curtain in front, and Wen Qingzhu walked in quickly and saw A Ping at a glance.
She was sleeping on the bed with her eyes closed, looking very peaceful.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu took her pulse.
There is no problem!
Wen Qingzhu reached out again, opened her eyelids, and looked at A Ping's pupils.
It's a sleeping state, so there's still no problem.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and said, "There is nothing wrong with her body. She just seems to be asleep."
"If we were asleep, we wouldn't be in such a hurry."
Yin Niang looked at A Ping with worry on her face, then turned to Wen Qingzhu and said: "Yang Wu lives in a remote place, and there are few people in the Hou Mansion. If my mother in the kitchen hadn't asked me strangely, saying that A Ping hasn't come to get it for two days, After eating, I noticed something strange, and when I went over to see her, she fell on the futon."
"On the futon?" Wen Qingzhu looked at Yang Wu.
Just listen to his explanation: "Aping is very talented and is better than me in arithmetic deduction. That is the study room I arranged for her, which enshrines the Three Purities. After reading the book, she will go back to the futon to learn fortune telling."
"So she fainted during fortune-telling?" Wen Qingzhu turned around and felt Aping's pulse again.
This time, after holding my breath for a long time, I finally noticed something was wrong.
She remembered that there was a kind of poison that was not considered poisonous and could cause people to fall into this state of sleep.
But she wasn't sure. Wen Qingzhu turned to Xi'er and asked, "Is Miao Miao back?"
"I'll go ask." Xi'er turned to leave.
But Yinniang quickly stopped her: "Miss Xue hasn't come back yet, she is probably still with the princess."
Wen Qingzhu frowned, it's already very late at this time, why haven't you come back yet
She then told Xi'er: "Go and see the princess."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and took out the silver needle, planning to prick it first.
After the injection, Aping still had no reaction.
Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to deny his original idea.
She stood up and walked around in front of the bed. How could A Ping be in this situation
While walking, Wen Qingzhu suddenly thought of Zhao'er.
She stopped and asked Yang Wu: "You teach A Ping fortune telling. What do you usually do?"
After asking this question, Yang Wu fell silent.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him intently: "What on earth is A Ping thinking?"
Yang Wu raised his head and glanced at A Ping on the bed, struggling in his heart.
If he said so, then the lady would definitely not let him and A Ping leave.
"It seems that A Ping has something to do with you!" Wen Qingzhu was convinced that what Yang Wu taught A Ping to deduce was definitely not what she, a beginner, should do.
Yang Wu tightened his hands and pursed his lips, feeling very confused.
On the other hand, Yinniang couldn't hold her breath at first, and her face looked a little frightened: "You are not thinking about Madam and the Marquis' affairs, are you?"
Yang Wu's expression trembled slightly, and he finally nodded: "Yes, after Madam and the Marquis came back from Cangzhou, I found that their fates were entangled with a layer of black air. I tried my best and couldn't see through it. I thought... Maybe Ping can do it, let her do the deduction."
"You!" Yinniang was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Yang Wu and not knowing what to say.
She turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, looked at A Ping in front of her and said, "If Madam hadn't told her to leave A Ping to you, Brother Yang and I would never have left her with you!"
Wen Qingzhu vaguely noticed that there were conflicts between them that she didn't know about.
But this was not the time to hold someone accountable. There were rapid footsteps outside the door.
Xi'er suddenly appeared at the door and said in a panic: "Miss! The princess said that Miss Xue left more than an hour ago! I asked Beidou to look for her!"
"More than an hour ago?" Wen Qingzhu stood up immediately.
From the villa where the princess lives to the government office, it takes at most three-quarters of an hour based on the slowest pace.
But now more than an hour has passed!
Wen Qingzhu asked Yinniang to take good care of Aping, and she had to go out to find Miaomiao first.
The night is getting darker and the wind and snow are getting more and more violent.
Wen Qingzhu went to Jiang Yuanhan to ask for a team of people, and started a carpet-like search based on the five-mile radius of the princess's villa.
After only a quarter of an hour of searching, someone found the trace.
According to the message sent, Wen Qingzhu glanced at Donglin Inn!
Pei Yi!
Wen Qingzhu clenched his fists instantly, and he took action!
Regrouping their troops, they began to move towards Donglin Inn quietly.
Soon, Wen Qingzhu's people surrounded Donglin Inn.
According to the information obtained by the spies, there are still only three people in the inn, the chef and the waiter.
As for Pei Yi's room, there are indeed shadows of two people.
Wen Qingzhu followed the instructions and walked around to the back of the inn.
When I came out of the alley, I saw a dog that was immediately knocked unconscious by his men.
Looking towards the window on the second floor, two shadows were reflected on the window.
Wen Qingzhu recognized the petite one among them at a glance, that was Xue Miaomiao!
Xue Miaomiao seemed to have her back to Pei Yi and remained motionless, while Pei Yi was slowly approaching.
He slowly stretched one hand towards Xue Miaomiao's waist, but when he was about to touch it, he was blocked by Xue Miaomiao's backhand.
Then the two people actually started fighting each other.
She knew Pei Yi's kung fu, he was far superior to Xue Miaomiao.
So what are they
Soon both of them stopped, and Xue Miaomiao seemed to have done it.
Pei Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her head.
Wen Qingzhu was so angry that Pei Yi actually attacked Miao Miao!
Just as she was about to give the order, the back door suddenly opened, and a guard escorted a young man out.
He was wearing the clothes of a waiter and was struggling.
When he saw the group of people deployed at the back door, especially Wen Qingzhu, he was stunned.
Not long after, they escorted the young man over.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at him casually, then immediately looked to the second floor, and found that Pei Yi's figure overlapped with Xue Miaomiao.
Pei Yi is still squatting down slowly!
"Keep an eye on him! If necessary, arrest the other two idlers in the inn!"
Wen Qingzhu quickly walked towards the back door of the inn and ordered Beidou: "Take me to the door of that room!"
After a few breaths, Wen Qingzhu stood at the door and suddenly opened the door.
At a glance, he saw Pei Yi squatting in front of Xue Miaomiao, with hot water in his hand, holding Xue Miaomiao's ankle with one hand, and rolling up Xue Miaomiao's trouser leg with the other.
Hearing the movement at the door, the two people in the room immediately turned around and looked over.
Seeing that it was Wen Qingzhu, Pei Yi was okay and immediately let go of his hand and stood up.
Xue Miaomiao was a little panicked and stepped on the ground. As a result, she lost her balance and almost fell down.
Pei Yi grabbed her and hugged her.
This scene made the veins on Wen Qingzhu's forehead jump.
But the angrier she became, the calmer she became. She walked into the room with a smile: "Mr. Pei is really surprising."
"Cousin! I...he..." Xue Miaomiao saw Wen Qingzhu's expression and knew that she must have misunderstood.
Wen Qingzhu walked in front of them, and Pei Yi consciously let go of his hand.
After helping Xue Miaomiao sit down, Wen Qingzhu looked down and found that there were light bruises on Xue Miaomiao's ankle.
"Yours?" Wen Qingzhu thought of how Xue Miaomiao suffered a lot during the day.
Wen Qingzhu squatted down and was about to lift her trouser legs when he immediately looked sideways.
But he found that Pei Yi had turned his back and said presciently: "It will be good if Madam is here. Pei will go outside and wait for Madam first."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room without waiting for Wen Qingzhu's reply, and closed the door thoughtfully.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to find some trouble, but there was no place to do it.
She could only check Xue Miaomiao's condition first.
When I pulled up my trouser legs, I saw that they were all covered in bruises.
Thinking about Liang Pingshu's attack, it shouldn't be so serious.
Wen Qingzhu looked up at her: "You are like this, why don't you say a word? The princess thought you had nothing to do!"
"Cousin! I'm fine! When I was practicing martial arts in the past, this little injury was nothing at all." Xue Miaomiao said flatteringly, and couldn't help but look up outside.
The shadow reflected on the paper on the door and window made her ask cautiously: "Young Master Pei and I really have nothing to do with each other! He is just here to help me heal my wounds! Look if you don't believe me!"
Xue Miaomiao immediately took off the sock on the other foot and pulled up the trouser leg, revealing a smooth calf.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but compare his left and right, and asked a little strangely: "What's going on?"
"It's Mr. Pei's medicine. It uses internal power to help me remove blood stasis. I didn't expect my cousin to come suddenly." Xue Miaomiao looked a little pitiful.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't say anything, so he turned around and took out his own medicine.
Just as he was about to take action, Xue Miaomiao rushed over: "I can do it myself! How can I make my cousin tired?"
Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to sit down next to her.
Xue Miaomiao asked carefully while applying medicine: "Cousin, please don't tell grandpa about this matter."
"You know you're afraid now?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
She was not worried about the Valley Master, but she was more worried about the person outside the door.
Wen Qingzhu turned to her and asked, "Why did you come here?"
"This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Pei!" Xue Miaomiao quickly waved her hands, regardless of applying the medicine.
But Wen Qingzhu looked at her with disbelief.
Xue Miaomiao smiled bitterly and said, "Cousin! I really didn't lie about this! I was just thinking about something and accidentally walked to the back of the inn and bumped into Mr. Pei!"
"Then why did you come up here? Is he waiting for you downstairs?" Wen Qingzhu asked sharply.
Xue Miaomiao thought about it carefully and explained: "When I saw him at that time, when he was about to ask for something, the dog behind him rushed over. I didn't react for a while. It was Pei Yi who saved me and came up to sit down. Sit down."
"Dog?" Wen Qingzhu immediately thought of the dog he saw just now.
"Well, it's not that I can't deal with a dog. It's just that I was able to see Mr. Pei in Kangcheng at that time. I was so surprised that I was careless."
