Is the emperor cremated today?

"I think you are familiar with this place."

Fang Zhiyuan turned his head and stopped looking at her. He looked down at the Jade Capital City at his feet and spoke calmly.

Xu Miaoyin took a deep breath and was about to step forward, but was blocked by Yu Qiao.

Fang Zhiyuan looked sideways and smiled sarcastically.

Xu Miaoyin gently pushed Yu Qiao away and said, "Since Lord Rong Guo can stop my carriage in public, he will not do anything to me."

Xu Miaoyin's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by the people present. She seemed to be comforting Yu Qiao, but in fact she was speaking to Fang Zhiyuan.

Fang Zhiyuan turned his head, looked Xu Miaoyin up and down, and said, "I haven't seen you for five years, but I have underestimated you. If I really want to do something, you won't be able to get to Yujing City."

"In my eyes, you are nothing more than a toy for his entertainment."

Fang Zhiyuan's eyes held obvious contempt and insight, as if everything Xu Miaoyin did was invisible to him.

Xu Miaoyin stopped stepping forward. She just stood a few steps away and said calmly: "Since Mr. Rong Guo wants to humiliate me, there is no need for me to stay here."

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the tower with Yuqiao.

Zhang Yu looked at the two people leaving and said, "My lord, are you just going to let them go? Guo Xiang's place..."

"Guo Xiang is a smart man. He knows what to do and what not to do. But I didn't expect that old woman to have different intentions. However, his son knows the current affairs better than her. If he doesn't come tonight, then no one will be left. As for Xu Miaoyin, today’s goal has been achieved, so let her go.”

Fang Zhiyuan watched Xu Miaoyin walking down the tower towards the market, his eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly.

Xu Miaoyin's master and servant walked slowly in the bustling street, with Yu Qiao guarding her and observing the surroundings vigilantly, but Xu Miaoyin was thinking about the purpose of Fang Zhiyuan's appointment with her this time.

Is it just to humiliate her?

Xu Miaoyin recalled everything just now. She really couldn't figure out what Fang Zhiyuan's purpose was, but she felt that he couldn't just humiliate herself. So what exactly did he want to do?
After thinking about it all the way, she still had no clue. When Yu Qiao received news from the accompanying secret guards, she took Xu Miaoyin, who was still thinking, away from the busy market and towards the carriage parked at the end of the street.

But halfway, she met Xiao Qi who was looking for her.

Xiao Qi frowned and walked towards the master and servant with a gloomy face. When he saw Xu Miaoyin's figure, he walked a few steps quickly and came to her. Seeing that she was safe and sound, his tense heartstrings slowly relaxed. When he came down, he saw that she seemed to be dazed, so he took her arm and looked at her worriedly.

Xu Miaoyin felt her arms tighten, and then she came back to her senses and saw Xiao Qi looking at her with a furrowed brow and a very nervous expression. She was a little surprised why he appeared here. Then she thought that the secret guard must have reported her whereabouts. He, that's why he came to look for himself so nervously.

Xu Miaoyin felt warm in her heart and said with a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry?"

Xiao Qi saw her smiling, but felt a little depressed for no reason. He was so worried about her that he rushed over as soon as he heard the news, but she could still laugh. Does she know how worried he was that he would make the same mistake again?
Xiao Qi let her go, turned around and walked towards the carriage on the street without saying a word, and went straight into the carriage.

Xu Miaoyin was a little confused, but she could also feel that he was angry, but she didn't understand what kind of anger he was angry at.

The master and the servant looked at each other for a while, and then walked towards the carriage. Yu Qiao was about to help Xu Miaoyin get into the carriage, but a strong arm stretched out from the carriage and pulled Xu Miaoyin into the carriage. Xu Miaoyin could not help but He looked around and fell firmly into Xiao Qi's arms.Although Xiao Qi's actions were a little rough, and although he looked scary, he protected people very well, but he frightened Yu Qiao under the car so much that she blurted out "girl"!
Yu Qiao felt relieved when she heard Xu Miaoyin's response from the carriage. She glanced at Qin Zhan, who was driving calmly, and then got on the carriage. Qin Zhan waved his whip, and the carriage drove towards the imperial city.

In the carriage, Xu Miaoyin sat on Xiao Qi's lap and let him hold her. After a while, she saw that he was still sulking without saying a word, so she looked up at him and saw that he was looking at her with his eyes slightly lowered.

Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, Xu Miaoyin patted his chest gently and said comfortingly: "You are so angry for no reason. I'm not a good person. Don't be angry."

Xiao Qi smiled bitterly. She didn't even know what he was angry about?
His punch hit the cotton, which made his already depressed mood even weaker. He simply closed his eyes. He wanted to see if she would understand his feelings today.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xu Miaoyin closed her eyes again and tightened her arms around her. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, so she remained silent and ignored him, leaning against his strong chest. Slowly closed his eyes.

She was also a little tired and fell asleep naturally after a while.

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Xiao Qi slowly opened his eyes and lowered his eyes to look at her. He saw her sleeping face calmly, breathing smoothly and falling asleep in his arms. This made Xiao Qi, who wanted to be coaxed by her, Qi was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and gently pulled her into his arms to make her sleep more comfortably.

The carriage drove directly into Fengyi Palace. Xiao Qi took the person out of the carriage and carried her all the way back to the bedroom. He carefully placed the person on the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and covered her with a quilt. Seeing that she did not wake up all the way, After tucking her in, he stood up and left Fengyi Palace.

Qin Zhan, who was guarding outside the palace, saw Xiao Qi coming out and followed him. It wasn't until he left Fengyi Palace that Xiao Qi ordered: "Let Ji Weiliang come to see me, and also tell Guo Xiang not to act rashly."

Qin Zhan took the order to deliver the message. Xiao Qi went all the way back to Tai Chi Palace, changed his clothes, and took Zhu Weng to Qinzheng Palace, where he saw Ji Weiliang waiting outside the palace.

Ji Weiliang followed Xiao Qi into the Qinzheng Hall. Zhu Weng stayed outside the hall and asked the waiter to serve tea.

"How's the deployment in Liyang?" Xiao Qi said as he walked to the imperial case and sat down.

Ji Weiliang replied: "Your Majesty, the deployment in Li Yang is normal, but it seems that Xu Hou is aware of it."

Xiao Qi picked up the ink pen, and while reviewing the memorial at his desk, he said: "Send the news about Guo Xiang to Xu Xian, everything else remains as usual."

"Also, extract the news about Duke Rong and deliver it to Fengyi Palace."

After Xiao Qi finished giving instructions, he said nothing more and continued to review the memorial with his head lowered. Seeing that the person in charge did not speak again, Ji Weiliang hesitated for a while and asked: "Has the news about Guo Xiang also reached Fengyi Palace?"

"Pass!" Xiao Qi said without raising his head.

After Ji Weiliang got the confidence, he clasped his fists and saluted and exited the Qinzheng Hall. When he left the Qinzheng Hall, he pulled Zhu Weng aside and asked in a low voice: "Zhu Weng, is everything okay there, the empress?"

Zhu Weng said with a smile: "Don't worry, your Majesty is fine."

Ji Weiliang was puzzled, "Then why does His Majesty look so unhappy? He didn't even dare to breathe when I reported it just now."

Zhu Weng still smiled and said, "You should stop asking about this. You will know when you get married."
