Chapter 144 Things are getting better
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

I saw that Yunshang's voice became softer and her head lowered, that's too bad!Have you done something bad yourself?I cheated my master!
Yun Shang immediately continued to say: "Miss, there is nothing the master can do. Last time you suddenly fell ill, you had to bypass a few people before you could send the news to the master. The master is also worried about you, so he thought of digging this Secret passages."

"Miss, you have a lot of adults, so don't be angry with the master!"

"Miss, now every time Yunshang wants to discuss with you, she has to disguise herself and find various reasons before she can enter the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. It's very hard work, so please pity Yunshang!"

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly when he heard the words: "Forget it, let's dig, keep the movement quiet."

At this moment, as if Yun Shangfang had been granted an amnesty, he quickly bowed and said, "Miss is wise!"

On the official road from Yunzhou to the imperial capital.

At this moment, in a royal carriage, Dugu Yan was holding a teacup in his hand, but he didn't move for a moment, with doubts in his eyes... Why is it that so many days have passed, and there are still no more rumors?Didn't Haotian go?
impossible!Haotian clearly promised me!No, this opportunity cannot be missed!I have to find a chance to go back to the mansion, first to persuade my brother to join the performance.

Perhaps, Haotian was just delayed by something, and maybe when his elder brother jointly signed the performance, the opinions of all parties would be spread back to the imperial capital.

Although my elder brother started later than me, he rode a horse, and he might arrive in the imperial capital soon.Yes, I have to find my brother first.

Called one by one: "Qiaoer."

"Hey... Your Majesty." Qiao'er outside the carriage responded after hearing the voice, and shouted one after another, "Stop."

"Yes, Miss Qiao'er." The guard driving the carriage replied, then stopped the carriage and stepped aside to wait.

Several royal carriages also stopped immediately...
Qiao'er got into the carriage, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Dugu Yan said: "Qiao'er, tell everyone in a while, before entering the palace, everyone should go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the people of Yunzhou."

"Then ask the guards to send someone to send a letter to the emperor, saying that the palace will lead all the concubines to pray for the people of Yunzhou in Xiangguo Temple for three days, and ask the emperor for permission."

When Qiao'er heard the words, there was doubt in her eyes, and then she bowed and replied: "Yes, ma'am, the servant knows." She turned around and got out of the carriage.

After a long time, Qiaoer Fang finished delivering the order and shouted again: "Departure..."

Several royal carriages are slowly moving forward...

At this moment, in the second royal carriage, only Concubine Su Miaowan could be heard softly saying: "Xiaoyu, do you know why this concubine is suddenly going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings?"

Xiaoyu, the maidservant at the side heard the words and replied softly: "Going back to the empress, I don't know, I didn't hear anything from her when I was chatting with Qiaoer when I was at the inn before, did the concubine Xian suddenly want to go?"

Concubine Su sneered at the corner of her mouth when she heard the words, and said softly: "It seems that Concubine Xian wants to add another contribution to her achievements in disaster relief!"

The maidservant Xiaoyu said softly after hearing the words: "My Lady, you are right. This time we are doing disaster relief in Yunzhou, and those common people know that it was the Xianfei Empress who invited her to lead the harem to help the disaster."

"Now, if you go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, it will add to your reputation."

Concubine Su nodded and continued: "Yes, let's see what will happen to the situation after returning to the imperial capital."

At this moment, in the fifth carriage, Xue Jieyu was wandering... Why did Concubine Xian suddenly want to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings?Really just praying?

At night, from Yunzhou to the imperial capital, in a certain post station.

At this moment, in a wing room, I saw Dugu Ziyan staring at the starry sky under the night sky outside the window, quietly...
After a long time, Du Chuan came in with a meal and said, "Your Majesty, you can eat now."

"Okay." Duguzi replied, but there was no movement, and he was still looking out of the window quietly...
When Du Chuan saw it, Fang stepped forward and asked, "My lord, are you still thinking about Miss?"

After a while, Duguzi said slowly, "Du Chuan, tell me, will Yan'er understand?"

When Du Chuan heard the words, there was helplessness in his eyes, and he bowed and replied: "Yes, my son, one day the lady will understand that you are doing it for her own good."

Seeing helplessness in Dugu Ziyan's eyes, he continued: "But in the end, she didn't get what she wanted, and this knot of heart will eventually trap her, how can I let her go!"

"My son." Du Chuan called helplessly.

At this moment, Du Chuan didn't know what to say, and the two just looked out of the window quietly...
After a long time, "Knock...knock..." A man's voice came from outside the door: "My son."

Du Chuan was startled when he heard the words: "Why is Sikong here?" He turned around and hurried to open the door.

I saw a man in dark clothes come in, nodded towards Du Chuan, walked towards Dugu Ziyan, bowed and said, "My lord."

At this moment, Dugu Ziyan had doubts in his eyes and asked, "Sikong, what's the matter?"

Sikong bowed and replied: "My lord, the matter you asked your subordinates to investigate earlier has some clues."

······
past events.

Dugu Ziyan's Study Room in Marquis Wending's Mansion.

Du Chuan bowed and said back: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao has left the palace and returned home."······

Dugu Ziyan shook his head, and replied: "I'm fine. I'm just a little worried about Yan'er, being tricked by the emperor without knowing it."

Du Chuan asked again: "My son, what do you mean?"

Only Duguzi said slowly: "Du Chuan, don't forget the night attack that just happened. Especially the Laishun Tavern, which is near the Honglu Pavilion. We don't know how many things are going on here. But this It's time to call Xiao Jinxi into the palace."

"My lord, what can we do?" Du Chuan asked.

After a while, Dugu Ziyan said again: "Investigate, investigate these two night raids."

"Yes, son, I will inform Xu Yan later." Du Chuan replied.

Dugu Ziyan shook his head and said, "No, Xu Yan has a lot to do now. Inform Sikong and let him come back sometime."

"Yes, master, this subordinate knows." Du Chuan bowed and retreated.

······
Dugu Ziyan frowned instantly and asked, "How? What did you find out?"

Sikong bowed and handed over a piece of letterhead, and said, "Your Majesty, take a look, this is the itinerary for the day the man in the Honglu Pavilion was raided."

Dugu Ziyan took the letter paper in doubt and looked at it...
I only heard Sikong continue to say: "My lord, I secretly found the guy who was in Juxiangzhai that day, and I heard that the man bought rice dumplings and five poisonous cakes that day, and after the man walked out of the shop, there was a little beggar. Went into the store, swayed at the shelf of these two things, and ran out again."
