"Back to Beijing?"

Wen Jisheng and Ban Xiyu walked in one after the other.He said: "Why so suddenly? The matter in Xunjiang Town has not been resolved yet, why go back so early?"

He didn't care when Fu Guan left, but he was concerned about Ban Xiyu's future whereabouts, so he had to ask a few more questions.

Fu Guan gently shook the emperor's secret decree, and replied: "The emperor's order must not be violated. Besides, the floods and epidemics in the south of the Yangtze River have subsided, and the task assigned by the Holy Majesty has been completed. I have no reason to delay returning to Beijing. As for Xunjiang Town ..."

He said: "Now that the refugees have been properly resettled, the only thing that needs to be solved is the mess of Xunle Inn and Wuji Hall. At that time, I will leave Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi behind, and the two brothers will take care of it. I'm very relieved."

After speaking, everyone was speechless for a while.

After a while, it was Fu Guan who broke the silence first.He put away the secret decree, first raised his eyes to look at Lou Xiyue, and then asked: "The Holy Majesty ordered me to return to Beijing soon, I wonder what your plans are next?"

Lou Xiyue still has some unfinished goals, so she should return to the capital, but in what capacity she should go back, this is still unclear.

Not only her, Fu Guan and Wen Jisheng also thought of this question.So, the three of them looked at Ban Xiyu in unison.

At this time, Ban Xiyu smiled indifferently and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Wen Jisheng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "What do you think?" Even though he had asked the same question insinuatingly, he naturally understood what Ban Xiyu was thinking.

But he always wants to ask a definite answer, so that he can feel at ease.

After hearing his words, Ban Xiyu said helplessly: "What do I think, Brother Wen, and Xiyue, you should understand." She said:
"As you can imagine, Xiyue and I still maintain the current state, and don't change our identities back. Of course, I have other considerations for such a plan. One:

"Xiyue's great revenge has not been avenged. With the protection of Princess Xuanping, I can get twice the result with half the effort. I still hope that Xiyue can continue to stay in the capital as 'Princess Xuanping'; second..."

As she said that, she couldn't help but look at Fu Guan, and said solemnly: "As for the other reason... Although it is really treasonous to say this, I must also tell the prince truthfully——

"I'm sorry, I don't intend to be the princess of Xuanping. I don't want glory and wealth. Please forgive me for not being able to return to Beijing to make a marriage contract with the prince. I know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, but I... In short, the relationship between you and me Let's give up on the engagement."

Fu Guan was not surprised by Ban Xiyu's answer.

In other words, he already knew that Ban Xiyu would say this.

But he didn't blame her at first, let alone blame Ban Fu.As far as he is concerned, this is a good thing in his arms.He said:
"I already know what you think. Of course, I can't blame you. To be honest, this marriage is not what I want. You and I are just helpless people bound by an imperial decree. If you are willing to let go of the marriage , that is of course good."

Having said that, he also said at the same time: "But you have to think about it clearly, the emperor's will must not be disobeyed. This imperial decree has been issued, and the emperor must pay a high price if he wants to take it back.

"It may be a long time before you, what's more, you won't be able to wait for the day when the Holy Majesty withdraws his will in this lifetime. Then you will always be able to walk in the rivers and lakes as 'Lou Xiyue', and it will be difficult to recognize your family.

"Can you bear such a result?"

A marriage contract is bestowed by the emperor, even if Fu Guan doesn't pursue it, but whether to put it down gently, or with the power of thunder, is still a matter of a word from the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

It is not easy to overturn this "crime of deceiving the emperor" lightly.

If they can't find a good time to reveal the truth, then Ban Xiyu can only hide under the identity mask of "Lou Xiyue" and will never "see the light".

This is the most obvious truth, and Ban Xiyu naturally understands it.

She said: "Since it was at the beginning, I thought that there will be today. Now that I have made such a decision, no matter what the consequences are, I am willing to bear them and never complain."

Ban Xiyu himself said this, Fu Guan naturally had nothing to say, but Lou Xiyue looked a little hesitant:
"Xiyu, have you really decided? Do you want to..."

"I've thought it through very clearly, Xiyue." Ban Xiyu said, "For me to be capricious, please lend me your identity indefinitely."

Lou Xiyue was speechless for a while, and finally lost under the firm gaze of the other party: "...That's all, as long as you like it."

Hearing this, Ban Xiyu immediately showed a joyful smile: "Thank you, Xiyue!" She took Lou Xiyue's arm affectionately and said, "Sure enough, my sisters treat me best."

The sudden approach made Lou Xiyue slightly stiff, but she immediately relaxed again.She hugged Ban Xiyu back: "This is how we... complement each other. Besides, we are blood relatives, so no thanks."

The two of them snuggled together for a while, and then heard the sound of silence, clasped their fists and covered their lips, cleared their throats, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you two will get in touch later, let's talk about business first."

Ban Xiyu let go of Lou Xiyue in embarrassment, and at the same time pressed the wet corners of her eyes: "I'm sorry, I was rude——" She turned serious, and then said:

"The reason why I decide next time is that besides the two points just mentioned, there is another crucial reason——"

After finishing speaking, she looked back and heard Ji Sheng, who understood what she meant, and immediately came forward with something.

Wen Jisheng: "When you were talking inside, Miss Ban and I found a new clue."

He showed that the evidence that Xuan Miao had sent not long ago was exactly what was found in the Xunle Inn and the Wuji Hall - the black iron token!
"At first I wondered about the origin of the token, until I saw the small characters on the back—" Wen Jisheng passed the token over: "See? There are plum blossoms engraved on it, and the word 'Chongwei' on the side Character?"

Lou Xiyue nodded and said, "I see, so what?"

Fu Guan carefully looked at the front and back of the token, and asked after careful consideration: "I have heard that there is a mysterious sect in Jianghu called 'Chongwei Wenmei', which is designed for people to solve problems that cannot be solved in the world. thing'."

He glanced at Wen Jisheng and said, "Could it be that Shaoxia Wen meant that this token came from 'Chongwei Wenmei', and Xunle Inn and Wuji Hall are both related to 'Chongwei Wenmei'?"

Wen Jisheng snapped his fingers, appreciating: "That's right! As expected of King Xuanping, you can guess right!"

At this time, Lou Xiyue looked sideways at Fu Guan in surprise: "You really know a lot of news about Jianghu."

She looked at him: "It seems that your King Xuan Ping is not easy to do. You have to pay attention to the situation in the court and the changes in the world. You are very busy."

Fu Guan took a sip of his tea, and said modestly: "It's not really careful. It's just that when I knew your true identity, I was quite curious about your origin, so I sent someone to check those Jianghu sects a little bit. So I know, That's all."

Lou Xiyue: "..."

She slandered in her heart: If he could find out such a mysterious sect as "Chong Wei Wen Mei", he might have turned the whole world upside down to find out.

Also "checked a little bit".

Fu Guan is too... and too pretentious.

Lou Xiyue felt speechless.
