auspicious time has come

Chapter 199 Believe in him

"I want to trouble Yuejian to pass a message to my elder brother on my behalf. When I came here, my grandmother told me that I have something to tell my elder brother." Just come and find me again.”

Yuejian nodded: "It's just a trivial matter, the servant girl will go over and tell Mr. Ji later."

"Thank you for seeing sister Yue."

Heng Yu came to the outside of the study seemingly calmly all the way. Before stepping into the study, she silently took a deep breath, calmed down her mood and demeanor, and just walked in.

"The teacher is here!" Princess Jiayi rushed up to greet her.

Heng Yu walked over and asked with a smile as usual: "Did the princess sleep well last night?"

"I didn't sleep well last night." Princess Jiayi took one of Hengyu's sleeves, and the baby's plump cheeks were full of resentment, but she did not forget to lower her voice: "Last night after seeing my sister came back , I told Aniang everything, and I understood it too... That fly is really lecherous, and its mind is full of mud and water!"

"Aniang is also very angry. It was originally agreed that the father must seek justice for the teacher, but who would have heard it early this morning—" Princess Jiayi said here, her voice lowered: " Teacher, do you think this is retribution?"

Is it retribution?

After Hengyu came to the book case, she prepared the books needed for today, and lowered her eyes and said: "This is the way to die, yes or no."

If he died accidentally while drunk, it would be retribution.

But with such a dirty way of death, even after death, such troubles will be left——

Princess Jiayi asked in a low voice: "Teacher, do you think... it was really the work of the Marquis of Dingbei?"

"No." Heng Yu's voice was not heavy, but there was no hesitation.

Others may have this doubt, but she will never have it.

She is well aware of Xiao Mu's behavior and style, so she doesn't need to confirm this matter with him, the first moment she heard the news, she knew that it was absolutely impossible to be him.

"Does the teacher believe in Marquis Dingbei so much?" Princess Jiayi asked curiously.

"Yes." Heng Yu did not hide this trust: "I have known him so far, and I believe in his character."

Princess Jiayi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Since the teacher believes it, then Jiayi believes it too."

Heng Yu smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go to class."

Princess Jiayi nodded, obediently returned to her seat and sat down.

Holding a scroll in his hand, Hengyu seemed to be concentrating on teaching.

"Boom--"

Suddenly there was a muffled thunder outside the window.

Heng Yu looked up at the cloudy sky outside the window, and slightly clenched the scroll with her fingers.

Along with the thunder, there was a cool wind blowing up dust.

"Dali Temple was ordered to investigate the case of the assassination of King Hedong. The lower officials brought people to search for evidence. I also hope that the envoy Xiao Jie can make it easier, and don't make things difficult for each other—"

In the front yard of the Dingbei Hou's Mansion, Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked at the soldiers of the Hou's Mansion who put up their guard and did not want them to enter and search, and said with a frown.

"Back off." Xiao Mu tilted his head slightly and looked at Wang Jingyong: "Don't interfere with official duties."

Wang Jingyong clenched his fist slightly, but immediately led others out of the way.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple raised his hand to signal his subordinates to search everywhere.

Looking at the officials pouring in everywhere, Xiao Mu couldn't see any fluctuations on his face.

These people came according to the order, and he had no reason to stop them.

Just let them search, if the people of Dali Temple can really find some "physical evidence" here, this matter will become clear--everyone knows that the current Minister of Dali Temple is Jiang Zhengfu's disciple .

"Besides that, there is another matter for the lower official to come here." The Shaoqing of Dali Temple said solemnly, "We also need to ask the envoy Xiao Jie to accompany the lower official to Dali Temple."

When Wang Jingyong and others heard this, their expressions changed.

"The death of King Hedong has nothing to do with my general. You don't have evidence in your hands, so why should you detain my general!" Wang Jingyong's eyes were full of vigilance, and a battle-tested aura rose from his body.

There is Dali Temple!
Dali Temple in the capital!

Once the general enters, he does not know what uncontrollable things will happen!

The sudden and strange death of King Hedong is obviously aimed at the general!

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple raised the token in his hand, and said solemnly: "We are ordered by the sage to thoroughly investigate this case. If the envoy Xiao Jie is really innocent, why not be afraid to cooperate in handling the case—could it be that the sage and Dali Temple will still be wronged?" Xiao Jie can't do it? Although you are used to the north, you should know what a crime it is to disobey the holy order!"

"you--"

Xiao Mu raised his hand, preventing his subordinates from continuing.

"When did the Marquis say he was unwilling to cooperate with Dali Temple in handling the case—"

"General!" Wang Jingyong was rarely so disturbed.

"No need to say much, just take care of your wife and the mansion." Xiao Mu confessed, then looked at Dali Shaoqing: "Please lead the way."

Dali Shaoqing took another look at him, silently restrained his imposing manner, raised his hand and said, "Please."

The wind suddenly picked up, and black clouds moved around the sky.

After such deliberation, finally, a bean-big raindrop hit the bluestone road.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

There were three unhurried knocks on the door, and the female envoy who was guarding the back door opened the door. When she was blessed, she whispered: "You've arrived, the girl has been waiting for you for a long time."

Yan Ming held an umbrella in one hand and walked in with a medicine box in the other: "Suddenly it rained heavily, and the road was delayed a bit."

For the sake of prudence, try to avoid people's eyes and ears, he left the city yesterday.

When Yan Ming walked into the courtyard, the female envoy closed the door again and led him in.

This is the Jiang family's Zhuangzi outside the city. The maid is a girl who lived with Jiang Xuexi in this Zhuangzi since she was a child. She also has some understanding of Yan Ming's true identity, so she acts more cautiously and treats her family well. The matter of the girl's private meeting with the other party is even more tight-lipped.

When Yan Ming came to the courtyard where Jiang Xuexi was, she was guarding a half-person-high Yugutian celadon vat on the porch, and when she saw him coming, she smiled and waved to him: "Rong Ji, come and see!"

Seeing that smiling face, Yan Ming also raised the corners of his mouth, and went to the corridor to put away the umbrella.

"How do you see the view of this tank? The wild lotus and water plants are all arranged by me." Jiang Xuexi said to him enthusiastically: "I put a few shrimps first, have you seen it... how long have you been there?" On this day, feed the water in this tank and put two more fish in it."

Yan Ming leaned over to have a look at the almost transparent shrimps, and said with a smile, "You have a good mood."

"This is what you taught me before."

Jiang Xuexi wanted to say something more, Yan Ming took her arm: "Okay, it's raining and windy, let's go in first."

Seeing her own girl entering the hall with a smile, she seemed to be relaxed and energetic, and the eyes of the female envoy suddenly felt a little sour.

The long-lost appearance of the girl seems to have returned to her childhood.

The maid pressed the corners of her eyes, turned around and went to the waiter.

"How do you feel recently, have you taken your medicine on time?"

"And I'm following the doctor's advice." Jiang Xuexi sat in the chair and said with a smile, "Doctor Rong Ji's medicine is like a miracle medicine. I feel as if I have recovered."

Yan Ming smiled and sighed: "Can you tell the truth?"

Then, he stretched out his hand to her: "Let me check the pulse."

"Why did you check the pulse again?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't it just to facilitate your medical treatment by letting you go out of the city to live here?"

"That's your idea." Jiang Xuexi looked at him with a smile, and said, "I live back in this village, just want to see you more."

Yan Ming looked at her amusedly: "In the eyes of outsiders, the girl from the Jiang family, who looks like a mountain of frost and snow, is so unreserved?"

"Nine years." Jiang Xuexi said with a smile: "In nine years, no matter how much restraint I have, it will be exhausted... And I am not willing to waste time on restraint now, every moment is extremely precious, naturally You have to cherish it well.”

"Okay, talk nonsense all day long." Yan Ming urged with a wave of his hand: "Be obedient, hurry up, and stretch out your hand."

Only then did Jiang Xuexi stretch out her hand.

Yan Ming looked at her carefully, seeing that she was in good spirits, he was quite optimistic, but now he sank a little bit.

"How?" Jiang Xuexi asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Yan Ming withdrew his hand and said, "It's getting better."

As he said, he got up to pack the medicine box: "I'll give you another prescription when I go back..."

Watching him go to pack the medicine box that was not used at all, Jiang Xuexi pursed the corners of her lips slightly, still smiling in her eyes: "Let's say your medicine is a magic medicine."

"...I promised to cure you." Yan Ming closed the medicine box and paused slightly: "I promised you before."

When he was young, he decided to study medicine for the little girl who was born frail.

Jiang Xuexi looked at his side face quietly for a moment with a smile, and then changed the subject: "Do you remember the vegetable field where we went to catch crickets together when we were young?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Yan Ming adjusted his expression before turning to look at her.

"I went to see it yesterday, and the vegetable field is still well taken care of." Jiang Xuexi said with a smile: "You can stay for lunch, I will ask the kitchen to pick some fresh vegetables and come back. Take two fish to make soup."

"Next time." Yan Ming pretended to be worried, forced a smile: "I still have important things to rush back to the city."

Jiang Xuexi didn't bother him, and only sighed in disappointment like a joke: "Hey, then I'll see you off."

"No, it's raining heavily." Yan Ming picked up the medicine box.

Jiang Xuexi insisted on sending him out of the yard, and the maid held an umbrella for her.

Yan Ming walked seven or eight steps, turned around and saw her smiling brightly through the rain and fog.

He also responded with a smile, but his heart became more and more dull.

After leaving Zhuangzi and walking a section of mountain road, Yan Ming got into the carriage that was waiting for him in the rain.

"Go back to the city."

He is going to ask the master.

Ask Master to save her...

The carriage was driving in the rain, and was stopped when entering the city. After a strict investigation, it was released.

Yan Ming felt something strange—why did he suddenly conduct a strict investigation? Could it be that something major happened in the city?
He felt inexplicably uneasy, and told the coachman: "Go back to the Marquis Mansion first, and then hurry up."

He wants to go back and have a look first.

And this uneasiness was soon completely confirmed——

Yan Ming didn't care about holding an umbrella, and walked quickly to the front hall in the rain, and found Wang Jingyong: "What happened? Why are there so many guards with swords outside the mansion? Where is the general?"
