Chapter 71

Su Jizhi walked out of the imperial study and knew that the East Palace had changed.

Walking out of the Meridian Gate, he got on his horse.

Walking to the border of Tongshan Mansion on the official road, Su Jizhi saw a familiar carriage parked by the side of the road from a distance.

Little Shitou squatted under the shade of a tree and said something with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and the door of the carriage was wide open.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Xiaoshi looked around from a distance, and then waved to the people in the carriage.

Wan Yan poked her head out and stared happily in Su Jizhi's direction.

Su Ji's horse galloped up to her.

"Why are you here?" Su Jizhi got off his horse in surprise.

He saw Wan Yan holding a fan in his hand, and his face was flushed with heat.

"My sister is worried about your lord, and said that she is anxious to wait in the government office, so we came to the official road to wait."

Xiao Shitou explained first, but Wan Yan hastily denied: "No, no, Miao Butou said that your lord's going to Beijing is a big deal, so I gossip and want to know the result of your lord's going to Beijing as soon as possible."

There was a smile on the corner of Su Jizhi's mouth, he was relieved, and at the same time his heart was filled with sweetness, it felt really good to be missed.

"My lord, get in the car." Someone appeared from far away on the official road, and Wan Yan grabbed Su Jizhi's sleeve: "Since yesterday, have you not taken a break, my lord?"

Su Ji was taken aback, realizing that he really didn't seem to sleep.

in the carriage.

Wan Yan prepared many kinds of fruits, opened the food box, and looked at Su Jizhi happily: "Master, the time is just right, try it quickly."

Apples, watermelons, and peaches were cut into small pieces by Wan Yan and placed in the food box, with many small gourds arranged beside them.

"what are these?"

Wan Yan smiled brightly: "I don't know when my lord will come back. I filled a lot of freshly dug well water. The well water is clear and cool, and the fruits are more refreshing. Try it, lord?"

A piece of watermelon enters the mouth, bringing a trace of coolness, and Su Jizhi's fatigue and anxiety all the way gradually dissipate.

Wan Yan raised her small face, pretty and affectionate, he loosened his neckline, and his heart was hot.

"Wan Yan has a heart."

"Why are you so polite?"

Sweat stains covered his face all the way around, Su Jizhi disliked the smell of sweat on his body, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Wan Yan took out another wooden basin from under the food box: "I know you have worked hard, come, wipe your face."

The little girl skillfully unscrewed the gourd, poured the well water into the basin, and took out the handkerchief from her sleeve.

Xiao Shitou eavesdropped on the movement of the two people in the carriage, and the dog's tail grass was raised high.

Su Jizhi wiped his face and took off his outer robe, only then did he feel refreshed.

The little girl didn't know whether it was because of the heat or because she was busy, but her face was always flushed, as if she had applied rouge, making her more beautiful and attractive.

"My lord, eat something more." Wan Yan was busy, feeding Su Jizhi with sweet-scented osmanthus cake, watermelon, and fruit.

Su Jizhi accepted it silently, and his heart blossomed with joy.

With a full stomach and a relaxed mood, Wan Yan looked at the adults exhausted.

"My lord, there is still a long way to go to the city. Would you like to lie down first?"

Wan Yan took out the pillow and placed it beside Su Jizhi, but she didn't want the adult to lean over and lie directly on her lap.

Wan Yan panicked for a moment, stared at the eyes of the adults who were close at hand, and said coquettishly: "My lord!"

"Isn't it a rest? I think this position is the best."

With that said, Su Jizhi slightly turned his head, sniffed in front of Wanyan with his hard jaw, and gently closed his eyes: "It tastes great."

Wan Yan reached out and tapped Su Jizhi's shoulder, her face was ashamed like a delicate peach.

Su Jizhi closed his eyes and looked calm, as if he had really fallen asleep.

Wan Yan didn't dare to move, she looked at it for a while, then raised her hand to smooth the adult's frown slightly.

The firm eyebrows rubbed against her fingertips, making Wan Yan's heart tingle.

Calculated from yesterday, the adults should not have slept.

Su Jizhi did not sleep, he was used to keeping a high level of tension when there was a case.

Qian Xi'er's case did not expect to involve such a wide range, and what made him even more unexpected was that the case could be related to the prince.

He originally wanted to catch Zhiyuan directly after returning to Tongshan Mansion.

Grab Zhiyuan, the Empress Dowager will pray for a smooth progress tomorrow, and the case will be closed.

But at this moment, lying in Wan Yan's arms, Su Jizhi didn't want to move.

Either way!

Now that the prince is under house arrest, even if Zhiyuan knows that the dog is gone, he can't inform the prince.

The prince's ability to return to the capital to arrange him in front of the emperor shows that they have no fear of their plan.

This is the best way to solve the problem secretly, and the undercurrent will eventually calm down.

Su Jizhi thought this way, and his expression gradually relaxed. He had never been so calm during the investigation.

This is Wan Yan's credit.

He is very relaxed.

He likes this way of getting along, warm and at ease.

In such thoughts, Su Jizhi fell into a deep sleep.

Su Jizhi woke up because he heard Miao Hong's voice: "Your Excellency, do you have any other orders?"

"No, it looks like everything is going well with your lord, otherwise your lord can't just say nothing." Wan Yan's voice was extremely low, for fear of waking him up.

"Then we just wait like this?"

"Please keep your voice down!" Wan Yan was not polite, Su Jizhi could still think of Wan Yan pouting and staring with his eyes closed, looking very imposing.

"Miao Tutou, why don't you let the adults rest for a while? Miao Tutou had lunch, did he go to bed when he was free? The adults only ate some fruit and a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Wan Yan said in a tone. Very dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Miss Wanyan." Miao Hong was choked up by the little girl.

Protected by her, Su Jizhi opened his eyes lightly. Miao Hongzheng was standing outside the carriage and was scolded by Wan Yan, with a helpless expression on his face.

"I also know that Catcher Miao is impatient, and so am I. My lord fell asleep without saying anything, how tired he is." The little girl was very determined to protect Su Jizhi.

Miao Hong glanced into the car window and found that Su Jizhi was staring at Wan Yan's face with a smile on his eyes, his mouth trembled, and he pointed at Su Jizhi: "Old Tieshu is awake."

Wan Yan lowered her head and met Su Jizhi's affectionate gaze: "My lord, did Miao Butou and I wake you up?"

"What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"

"It didn't take long, we were already in the government office, and my lord only slept for about a stick of incense."

Su Jizhi looked at the roof of the carriage shed, with a smile on his lips: "I slept soundly and sweetly."

After hearing these words, Miao Hong smacked his lips in disdain.

The old iron tree is blooming, and it's really terrible when it's flirty.

Su Jizhi buried Wan Yan's body and took a deep sniff before sitting up.

Wan Yan pretended to pack the things in the car, not daring to meet his eyes.

Miao Hong is here, adults dare to do this, how can she see people?

Su Jizhi pushed open the car door and waved at Miao Hong: "I have seen the emperor, the whole matter is related to the prince, the most urgent thing now is to arrest Zhiyuan."

Wan Yan looked at Su Jizhi.

Miao Hong looked serious; "Did the emperor believe your lord's conjectures?"

Su Jizhi nodded: "There is another more coincidental thing. The crown prince happened to visit me in the imperial study room, and I stood behind the screen of the imperial study room during the whole process."

Miao Hong took a deep breath: "Is he finished?"

"It has nothing to do with us. What we have to do now is to ensure that the Empress Dowager prays for peace tomorrow. Miao Hong, we are going to catch Zhiyuan now."

"What about tomorrow?"

"In my hands, Master Yuan Zhen will replace Zhi Yuan."

"Your Excellency is really tall. Now the weather is calm and the sea is calm. No one knows that such a big thing happened in Tongshan Mansion."

Miao Hong couldn't help but praise, but Wan Yan was confused.

The lord looked back, with a smile on his lips: "You can stay at home at ease, you can go to Hengshan Temple to watch the excitement tomorrow if you like, and I will explain it to you in detail after the matter is over."

Wan Yan nodded heavily, this is the adult she likes, he is strategizing, and his eyes are firm.

Watching the lord go away, Wan Yan regretted secretly, she forgot to ask, if Zhiyuan is caught, can she go to the prison to watch the excitement?
