Chapter 194 Letter from afar
Ban Xiyu didn't know Wen Jisheng's complicated emotions after she left. She turned her head, sorted out the complicated letters on the table, and put them away properly.

While pondering over the details in the letter, and thinking about how to proceed in the next move, she fell down on the couch, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Ban Xiyu had a dream, in which she returned to Huaijiang Mansion.She seemed to be the lady of the Ban family who didn't leave home again, but the strange thing was that in the dream, Lou Xiyue still seemed to use her identity to marry into the Xuanping Palace.

She remembered that she came back from school in Liyuan as usual, the breeze brought the heat of the scorching heat, and also brought the bad news from Beijing——

Qingshuang, who accompanied her to Beijing, brought back news that King Xuanping had discovered Lou Xiyue's true identity, and asked to play the emperor, and sentenced Lou Xiyue to the crime of deceiving the emperor, and was sentenced to death.

Ban Xiyu seemed to hear her "thump-thump" heartbeat, and then things changed. On a stormy day, the carriage carrying Lou Xiyue's body was delivered to the door of Ban's house.

Ban Xiyu looked in horror, only to see that the white cloth covering the cart was as cold as a ghost.Then there was a burst of lightning and thunder.

Amidst the violent thunder, Ban Xiyu suddenly opened his eyes.

She blinked, and recognized that this was in Nanhuai Mansion, and she was sleeping in the temporary stronghold outside the city.

Realizing this, Ban Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.She breathed calmly, her consciousness gradually came back, and then, she heard the non-stop sound of rain outside the house.

The sound of raindrops hitting the eaves was fast and urgent, and there were bursts of thunder in the distant sky.

Ban Xiyu looked towards the window, just in time for lightning and thunder.At the same time, someone outside hurriedly knocked on the door: "Miss Ban, are you awake? Are you awake?"

It was the sound of silence.

Ban Xiyu moved her lips and found that her throat was a little dry.She got used to it for a while, then put on her clothes and got out of bed: "I woke up, what, what happened?"

She opened the door, and saw Wen Jisheng who was drenched in rain outside the house, "Why did Brother Wen come here after being drenched like this?" She was startled, and then glanced out——

It was pouring rain outside the house. Although it was midsummer, it was raining late at night, and it was hard to avoid the cold wind and cold.So she immediately said: "Please enter the house and change your clothes—"

Hearing the silence, he stood still.He wiped his face and said, "I won't go in." The sound of rain covered his voice, and he had to raise his voice:
"The rain has been repeated, and someone came to ask for help just now, saying that there is something wrong ahead, and I have to go and have a look-I'm here to tell you, if it doesn't stop raining tonight, don't sleep, if the situation doesn't improve, it may rain We have to evacuate in the middle of the night..."

Ban Xiyu's brows were tightly frowned, and her heart couldn't help but suspend: "Okay, I understand, and I need to trouble you to help take care of the Liu family's father and daughter - don't worry, it's raining so hard, I won't take it lightly. You can just rest assured. "

"……Um."

Wen Jisheng did not leave immediately, but stood quietly for a while.He took a long look at Ban Xiyu, then stretched out his hand to gather her clothes together, and said, "I'm leaving now, you go into the room, be careful not to catch the cold."

For some reason, Ban Xiyu inexplicably saw a trace of unusual meaning in his eyes, like nostalgia, like reluctance, but more of it was worry.

She was taken aback by this astonishing discovery, and was about to say something, but when she came to her senses, she only saw Xiao Suo walking away with an umbrella in Wen Jisheng.

Ban Xiyu: "..."

Forget it, maybe it was just an illusion that she hadn't woken up yet and was confused for a while.

With that in mind, she turned and closed the door.

But after this disturbance, even though Ban Xiyu was sleepy, she didn't fall back asleep.Hearing Wen Jisheng's instructions, she turned on the lamp that night, and at the same time was vigilant to pay attention to the movement outside.

Fortunately, the rain did not last too long. After a while, the rain gradually weakened.When the sky was about to dawn, the drizzle finally stopped, and after a while, the long-lost sunshine finally reappeared——

The sky is clear.

Ban Xiyu lasted for half the night without resting, until the sky was bright, and then she couldn't bear the drowsiness, leaned against the edge of the bed and fell asleep drowsily.

She fell asleep for an hour, and when Wen Jisheng changed into clean clothes and looked for her, she woke up. The two drank a few mouthfuls of porridge under the eaves, and ate half full with steamed buns.

"Fortunately, there were no major incidents last night, only a few sheds were washed away. Usually there are many mosquitoes there, so no one stayed overnight, and no one was injured or injured." Wen Jisheng said.

Ban Xiyu nodded: "As long as the people are safe, we can rebuild the shed if it breaks." She put down her chopsticks and asked, "I wonder how the Liu family's father and daughter are doing?"

"Don't worry, they are not affected, it's alright. It's just that the yard is full of rain and mud, and it's being cleaned up right now." Wen Jisheng said, "Why don't we go over and have a look?"

Ban Xiyu stood up: "Yes, that's fine."

The distance between the residences of the two places is not far, but it is only a few steps away.

Liu Ying opened the door and saw them, and immediately called them into the house.Several people sat together and drank hot tea, and then talked about the heavy rain last night.

Master Liu brought a chair over and said, "Fortunately, the torrential rain has stopped, otherwise I don't know what will happen."

Liu Ying also said that she spent the whole night in a panic, and she has not closed her eyes to rest until now.

Ban Xiyu then asked: "Nanhuai Prefecture has been flooded for some time, when will the imperial court's rescue come? Is there any news from the magistrate?"

Master Liu replied: "I just asked someone about this. It is said that imperial envoys have been sent south to help the disaster, but I don't know who it is."

Wen Jisheng also said: "I have also heard that the food and payment for the disaster relief has already arrived at Huaijiang Mansion, and it will arrive at Nanhuai Mansion in a few days. The food and payment will go first, and I believe that the imperial court's imperial envoy will arrive soon."

Ban Xiyu didn't know when the imperial envoy would arrive, but when she returned to the house, she first received a letter from afar.

The carrier pigeon that delivered the message was hovering on the roof, and Ban Xiyu raised her eyes slightly, but saw the gray pigeon that had disappeared for a long time go back and forth, with a red silk tied around its ankle.

Wen Jisheng came over to take a look: "Hey, isn't this the bird I lost a while ago, why is it back now?"

Ban Xiyu untied the letter paper, only to see a line of familiar, elegant, small characters left on the clearly creased paper.She was overjoyed first: "It's Xiyue's reply!—"

Then her smile froze, and the corner of her raised mouth came back.

Wen Jisheng: "Oh? Lou Xiyue finally knows that a message has come—" He caught a glimpse of Ban Xiyu's strange expression: "What's the matter, what did she say in the letter?—"

Ban Xiyu: "..."

She handed the letter paper in front of Wen Jisheng, and said softly: "Xiyue said that it is Xuanping Wang Fuguan who went south to help the disaster."

Wen Jisheng: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then looked down at the letter.Afterwards, his eyes gradually widened: "King Xuan Ping discovered her identity??? She also accompanied King Xuan Ping to the south?!"

Hey, he seems to have missed a wonderful show.

Ban Xiyu was silent for a moment, then said: "Xiyue said that she wants to meet us at Huaijiang Mansion."
