Chapter 44 Why so
"Princess, Xiangye sent someone to tell you that Xiangye and his wife cannot go to the Shangshu Mansion to express their condolences, and Leng Yu is a side concubine who has never been in the Zhenwang Mansion, so the Princess should also represent the Xiangfu and the town. The palace goes to worship."

After Cuiyu finished speaking, she wrinkled her face and asked Huo Yixi.

"Do you really want to go?"

It sounded like she was being tricked, Huo Yixi raised an eyebrow.

"If you don't go, I'm sorry for talking so much in one go."

Cuiyu knew that Huo Yixi was a completely different person now, and anyone who displeased her would end well. Of course, she couldn't persuade Xiangye if he was uncomfortable.

Huo Yixi changed into a moon-white long skirt with silver trim, covered with a silver fox fur cloak, and wore a hollowed-out gemstone-inlaid lotus hairpin gifted by Li Wuchuan on his head, and took three servant girls out.

Li Wuchuan was not in the mansion, so Huo Yixi sent someone to pass the message to let Li Wuchuan meet at Shangshu's mansion.

He Wu drives slowly and deliberately waits for Li Wuchuan who has not returned to the palace. When he arrives at the Shangshu Mansion, he happens to meet Li Wuchuan getting off his horse, wearing a soap robe and facing the wind.

Surprised to hear that Zhenwang and Zhenwangfei came to worship, Xue yelled, "They killed my daughter, let them go!"

Halfway through shouting, Leng Xuanzhi ordered someone to gag Xue Shi and drag her into the inner house.

Hearing someone crying and scolding hoarsely from a distance, Huo Yixi turned his head to look at the culprit, Li Wuchuan pursed his lips.

Anyway, it's a human life, Huo Yixi is not the Holy Mother, but he will not wantonly sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, obeying the deceased to burn incense to Leng Yu himself.

Standing face to face with Leng Xuanzhi, Li Wuchuan sighed, "Why?"

Leng Xuanzhi lowered his eyelids and said, "I was entrusted by the late emperor to protect Nanping. How can I be burdened by ignorant women like you. There is no need to mention this matter. I have my own reasons."

"But..." After all, he is the same age as Hua, and he is also one of the tens of thousands of people in the Nanping Kingdom that he has desperately guarded. How could he be willing to see such an end if he threw his head and blood for the country and the people.

Leng Xuanzhi raised his hand and patted Li Wuchuan's solid arm.

"My lord, you don't need to worry too much. Everything is voluntary. As long as Nanping can prosper, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, Leng Xuan's wish is heartfelt."

Huo Yixi couldn't accept that Leng Yu was secretly competing with her in the restaurant the day before, and the next day, heaven and man were separated forever, and when people were not prepared, they reached into the coffin and closed the gate of Leng Yu's pulse.

An ordinary doctor would definitely believe that Leng Yu was dead, but only Huo Yixi, who had practiced ghost tricks, could confirm that Leng Yu was a fake death.

Sudden death is actually a play, so who is going to show this play, it can't be the emperor, right?
Huo Yixi walked back to Li Wuchuan's side, and gently pulled Li Wuchuan's sleeve.

Li Wuchuan comforted Leng Xuanzhi a few more words before leaving.

On the way back home, Li Wuchuan changed from riding a horse to a car, and Huo Yixi informed Li Wuchuan of his discovery.

Li Wuchuan frowned upon hearing this, "Are you sure?"

Huo Yixi was very sure, "I should have taken medicine that can cause suspended animation, and I will wake up in about seven days."

After seven days of cessation, the funeral will be buried in the ground. If you don't wake up and bury yourself in the ground, you will really die.

Li Wuchuan clenched his fists, and his whole body slowly changed from tense to relaxed.

Huo Yixi observed Li Wuchuan's reaction. Although he didn't know the reason, he felt that he was sad for no reason.

"Why do you want to tell this king?" Li Wuchuan suddenly changed the subject, with a kind of insight in his tone.

It is better to believe in yourself than to believe in anyone. No matter how much Li Wuchuan promises, it is better to tell him that the woman who has no intention of marrying her is as good as telling him that her value is not only the concubine of the town, but also the space to help him, and even the amazing medical skills. Even for these values, Li Wuchuan would not break his promise either.

Li Wuchuan noticed Huo Yixi's worry, smiled, grabbed Huo Yixi's hand and fiddled with his onion-like fingers.

"Perhaps you don't know. When the late emperor was alive, he intended to pass on to me. However, I felt that being an emperor was too restrictive and there were too many women, so I refused and recommended Li Shichun to be emperor."

"The first emperor was not reconciled. Before he died, he drew up a will and put it in the Zhaixing Tower. The four ministers who took care of his life each held a fragment. If one day I wanted to be emperor, I would open the Zhaixing Tower to read the will. Leng Yu's father Leng Xuan Zhi Zhi was one of them, and because of this, the official position was demoted again and again, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Huo Yixi learned from the original owner's memory that this happened, but it was definitely not as detailed as Li Wuchuan's, especially who the four ministers entrusted by the late emperor had no idea at all.

"This is to stir up a dispute and make you turn against the four ministers, so that no one will be in a stable position?"

Huo Yixi guessed that the emperor who ordered the marriage did it, but it's hard to say that Leng Yu didn't die.

Or maybe Leng Xuanzhi directed and acted on his own, in order to win Li Wuchuan's trust and secretly show his loyalty to the emperor. After all, the original owner's father had done this kind of thing.

Li Wuchuan shook his head, "I believe in the late emperor's vision, there should be something else hidden about this matter."

The two were talking when the carriage stopped suddenly, and the crane danced outside the carriage and shouted.

"You dare to stop the prince's car, you're courting death!"

Immediately, an old voice sounded.

"I beg the lord and concubine to save the little girl..."

He Wu parked the car in a remote alley, Li Wuchuan and Huo Yixi listened to the old man's story through the curtain of the car.

In the second year of Yuanheng, there was a severe drought, and the old man's hometown was hit by a disaster. In order to keep his family alive, he sold his daughter.

When the drought was over, the old man saved enough money and took his wife to find someone to redeem him. As a result, the man sold him at a high price, and he no longer knew where he was.

The wife couldn't see his daughter, and he was exhausted for years and his body collapsed. He died in a hurry. The old man lost his wife and only his daughter was left. He vowed to find her no matter what.

Later, after many inquiries, he found the Xiangfu. At this time, his daughter was already the second-class girl next to the wife of the Xiangfu. After the father and daughter met each other, the old man settled in Kyoto, and he was very content to see his daughter often.

Yesterday he went to see his daughter at the back door of Xiangfu's mansion, and only then did he know that Mr. and Mrs. Xiangye were both sick. Mrs. Xiangye always took people to vent her anger when she was not feeling well.

The old man spent some money and finally found out that the illness of Xiangye and his wife was related to Princess Zhen, so he rushed to stop the car for help desperately.

Huo Yixi didn't expect that punishing the despicable villain would hurt the innocent, so he immediately ordered He Wu to drive to the prime minister's mansion.

Li Wuchuan went together, went into the Prime Minister's Mansion with Huo Yixi and first ordered someone to bring the old man's daughter, and asked the two to confirm that they were father and daughter, and immediately ordered the housekeeper to bring the contract of sale, and Huo Yixi bought him for money.

When Cherry sent her father and daughter away, she told Ying'er, "From now on, you are a member of the Prince Zhen's Mansion. After you recover from your injury, the Prince Zhen's Mansion will ask the housekeeper to arrange work for you."

The father and daughter were very grateful, and the old man drove his daughter in a car and went straight to the Prince Zhen's mansion.

The housekeeper was forced to accept the wounded, not only unable to work, but also had to provide food, shelter, and medical treatment. The old man begged the housekeeper to take him in, but the housekeeper refused to agree and drove him away.

As soon as the old man left the town's palace, he was killed in a nearby alley on the back. The housekeeper regretted it after hearing the news.
