Shu Blossoms

Chapter 292 The Power of Qingwei
When Mu Wu came in, he saw King Ling kneeling in front of Emperor Zhou's bed and weeping bitterly, and his heart was a little moved.

Ah San reported softly behind Prince Ling: "His Royal Highness, the leader of Qingwei has arrived."

Hearing the words, King Ling straightened up and tried his face with his sleeve, then turned around and waved at Ah San, Ah San immediately understood, and slowly backed away.

The King of Mausoleum smiled at Mu Wu, and said gently: "I heard that His Majesty set up Qingwei to protect the safety of Jiankang City. I think Chief Mu Wu knows everything about Jiankang City like the palm of his hand."

"Don't dare!" Mu Wu cupped his fists and said, "This is only the duty of the minister."

King Mausoleum nodded in relief, and then said: "Presumably Qing Wei is aware of Princess Danyang's whereabouts today, and I would like Chief Mu Wu to send over to have a look."

Mu Wu glanced at King Ling in surprise, and King Ling smiled and explained: "Don't get me wrong, this king is not suspicious of Princess Danyang and intends to investigate her whereabouts, but...you also know that this king's nephew is smart but She has a quick temper and is easily impulsive. Today, I see that she seems to have a sad look on her brows, worrying that she will encounter difficult things, but she doesn't tell her family, and she will get angry for a while. After all, she has never encountered such a thing."

This is true, more than three years ago, Princess Danyang's nosy fault was well-known in Jiankang, which caused him to be tied to the Great Wei.

Mu Wuzhi went back today and called Zheng Wei's whereabouts first, after all, His Majesty had told him to protect the crown prince, the second prince and Princess Danyang at critical times.

He is now much less wary of King Ling, but he still did not let go, "His Majesty, it's not that I don't want to transfer the file for you, it's because His Majesty has a strict decree that people other than His Majesty must have his order talisman." You have the right to read the files of the Qingwei. Please show your order symbol first."

The King of Mausoleum was taken aback when he heard the words, he wanted to look back at the Zhou Emperor behind him and stopped again, then smiled wryly, "Your Majesty fainted suddenly, and he didn't have time to give me the token. In that case, I won't read the file, you go back and have a look, if If she really encounters trouble, she will come and tell this king, that’s okay, right?”

"Naturally" Mu Wu hurriedly bowed, then turned and left.

King Ling waited for him to leave the main hall before turning back to Emperor Zhou's couch, looking at Emperor Zhou's pale face with frowning brows, his brows were tightly knit as if he was trapped in his sleep, thin beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

King Ling picked up a cloth towel and gently wiped it for him. He put his mouth next to Emperor Zhou's ear and murmured to himself, "Brother Emperor, I have never heard you talk about the order talisman?"

After carefully wiping it for Emperor Zhou and ordering the maid to take care of it, he got up and went to the side hall. Ah San was already waiting for him.

"I always feel uneasy in my heart. Find a few smart people and quietly inquire about Danyang's whereabouts today."

Ah San took the order and left after hearing the words.

Mu Wu went back to the Qingwei Office and immediately ordered someone to report the whereabouts of Princess Danyang.

Qingwei has been ordered by His Majesty to send someone to secretly follow Princess Danyang since half a year ago. The order they received was to hide their whereabouts around her and not interfere with Princess Danyang's affairs, but everything she did was recorded on the record , in case of life-threatening danger.

What puzzles Mu Wu is that His Majesty has never consulted all the whereabouts files of Princess Danyang in the past six months, nor has he let anyone else check them.

Mu Wu opened the case file and looked, and stood up in shock. The night wind outside the window shivered before he felt the chills all over his body.

He sternly asked his subordinates, "Why didn't you report the important thing that Danyang Princess, the crown prince, and the second prince were in danger today?"

The subordinate bowed his head and said: "The subordinates of Princess Danyang's dossiers do not have the right to consult them. After they sent them, they were directly sealed in the warehouse."

"Where is the person in charge of tracking Danyang Princess?" Mu Wu took a deep breath and put down the frustration in his heart. He knew that this was another problem of Qingwei. At the beginning, His Majesty asked him to find Danyang Princess to help reform Qingwei. So, but Princess Danyang has been avoiding her for the past six months.

Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, no one can order this aunt.

"Qing Shishi only sent a letter back today, but did not come back to hand in his duties." The subordinate reported back.

This means that Princess Danyang is still traveling outside and has not returned to the Zheng Mansion.

There are also their dark guards in Zheng's mansion, and Qing Shiyi's long-term follow-up will attract the attention of Princess Danyang, so she doesn't follow her around all the time.

"take me!"

Mu Wu thought that the crown prince and the second prince had returned to the palace safely. He also read the files of the two princes just now. They were safe and fine, and they were punished by Princess Danyang, so he felt more at ease and went straight to find Princess Danyang .

When he rode his horse and galloped through the streets of Jiankang City where the curfew was imposed, he was still thinking that His Royal Highness Ling Ling was really sharp, and his feeling was not wrong.

Now he is in a dilemma whether to tell King Mausoleum what happened today.

He decided to discuss with Princess Danyang.

From the bottom of his heart, he still trusts Princess Danyang more.

As for the reason, it may be some words and deeds of His Majesty and Gao Han in the past, coupled with his intuition, His Majesty should hope that Princess Danyang and Qingwei will get closer.

Mu Wu was taken outside Xiao's mansion, and met Qing Shishi in a hidden corner of the alley opposite the gate of Xiao's mansion.

"Eleventh, how?" Mu Wu asked in a deep voice.

Qing Shiyi is good at making light of himself, and his agility is higher than that of Princess Danyang, he is the best person in Qingwei who is good at hiding and following, so Mu Wucai dared to send him here.

Others could hardly escape Princess Danyang's extraordinary ear power.

Qing Shiyi immediately made a bow and confessed, "Leader, Princess Danyang and the crown prince are in danger today, and the subordinates couldn't resist helping them. They were discovered!"

"Discovered by Princess Danyang?"

Although Mu Wu knew the answer, he couldn't help asking again.

"Yes!" Qing Shiyi lowered his head, because he was exposed as a hidden guard because of his incompetence.

"Did the princess ask you anything?"

Qing Shishi continued, "The princess seems to have guessed the identity of his subordinates, so he didn't ask any more questions. He only warned his subordinates that today's matter is related to the safety of the Zhou Dynasty. Tell anyone about this matter. Then he left without expelling his subordinates. The subordinates obeyed the words of the princess, and only sent back information as usual, without warning!"

"Get the punishment yourself after you go back!" Mu Wu was silent for a moment, then spoke lightly.

Qing Shiyi accepted the punishment, and Mu Wu turned to look at the Xiao Mansion, "How is General Xiao injured?"

"It doesn't seem very good, but there is no danger to life for the time being!"

At this moment, a group of people in official robes came out from the gate of the Xiao Mansion, they got into the carriage one after another and left, Zheng Wei showed his body and entered Xiao Yucheng's courtyard after the imperial physicians left.

The lights in Xiao Yucheng's courtyard were brightly lit, Zheng Wei stood timidly at the gate of the courtyard.

She knew from the solemn expressions of those imperial doctors just now that they were not very sure.

Zheng Wei didn't dare to approach this courtyard, and didn't want to leave, so he could only stand here hesitantly.

The eldest lady of the Xiao family walked out of the courtyard with the help of the old lady Xiao, just in time to see Zheng Wei standing there with a pale face, quite pitiful.

Mrs. Xiao glanced at Mrs. Da, they walked a few steps quickly, Mrs. Xiao pulled her and said lovingly: "Good boy, are you here to see Da Lang?"

Zheng Wei was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to be so kind to her.

She nodded hesitantly with some anxiety and guilt. Mrs. Xiao seemed to understand her feelings, and comforted her: "Good boy, don't be sad. Da Lang is a general who fights on the battlefield. Naturally, you can't ignore the bandits on the road. Grandma believes that he will be fine." got up."
