After my death, my ex-husband ruled the world

Chapter 48 Hostage
Xu Kangcheng looked around at the Jin Yiwei who drew their swords, his expression was still not good: "In this case, you have to go if you don't, don't you?"

Xu Jingyao smiled with a childish face, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I'm going to the Governor's Mansion to play, dad, I'm leaving."

Shuangxi just washed the fruits and brought them back. When she turned a corner, she saw so many Jinyi guards with swords drawn. She was a little timid, but when she heard the young master say go, she bravely shouted to the young master, "Master, where are you going?"

The young man ignored him, held up his umbrella and walked straight out.

At this juncture, it is better to do less than to do more.

Cheng Yao followed him, and the Jin Yiwei who drew his sword put away his sword and walked out of the house in an orderly manner.

The cart moved forward and slowly headed towards Xinrong Lane in the east of the city. A column of guards in gilded clothes, riding on horses, followed the cart. The people on the road moved away one after another to make way for the officials.

Soon, we arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

Xu Jingyao behaved very calmly along the way, without a trace of panic. Only his rapidly beating heart betrayed him. As a first-class governor, his uncle had to take care of many things. He usually only had anything to do with government affairs. But now he actually met him. I'm afraid something happened. It's over.

Although I am prepared.

Seeing the blind Pei Huai'an, he was still startled.

My uncle was poisoned and blinded, so let him take care of the sickness?

"Uncle, who poisoned you?"

He asked carefully.

Shuo Feng stood quietly by the pillar, listening to his question, and interjected: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

After he finished speaking, Pei Huaian's dull eyes turned to him. With a glance, Shuofeng knew that his master meant not to let him speak. He curled his lips and said nothing more.

Pei Huaian turned his dull eyes to Xu Jingyao. He knew where the person was standing and said calmly: "You know her too. I believe your aunt has told you about her, Yue Emei."

Xu Jingyao was very surprised that Yue Emei would poison his uncle to death. What happened?

Surprised to be surprised.

He quickly came to his senses, nodded, and said, "I know her. She is a very powerful poison master."

"When can I see you and when can you leave the house?" Pei Huai quietly announced this matter.

Xu Jingyao was stunned when he heard this and said: "Okay." He didn't speak again. He still didn't know the purpose of coming to the Governor's Mansion. He was a fool.

All the sicknesses are fake, and it is true to use him as a hostage.

The relationship between Yue Emei and his aunt is not unusual, and his aunt loved him the most during her lifetime.Perhaps the imperial doctor in the palace had already come to treat the poison, and Pei Huai'an called him into the mansion just to force Yue Emei to hand over the antidote. After all, she was a master at using poison, and Jin Yiwei would lose a lot in a fight with Jin Yiwei.

Using him as a threat is the best result.

For her aunt's sake, Yue'emei will hand over the antidote. If she doesn't hand it over, she will suffer a little.

This is Pei Huaian's method.

The boy's face put away his childish look, and the cold wind blew by. He stood upright in the hall with a cold expression on his face.

Pei Huaian seemed to know the look on his face at this time, and said calmly: "Do you know about her coming to the capital?" His words were too bland, and no one could hear his intention.

Xu Jingyao said: "No, I don't know about it. What is she doing in the capital?"

"The Darknet has been checked. I believe it will be found out." Pei Huaian said directly without hiding anything from him.

The rain is still falling, neither heavy nor light.

Xu Jingyao originally had a little affection for him, but now it's gone. Pei Huai'an used himself as a hostage to plot against his aunt's best friend. How could this be done by a man? He looked at the man with a hint of disdain.

The governor couldn't see it, but Shuo Feng could. He asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Jingyao turned his head to the side, "It's not interesting."

Shuo Feng persisted: "Did you look down on the governor just now? You deserve it. Don't think that you can be disrespectful to him because the governor can't see it."

The two of them looked like they were about to quarrel.

When Zhaoyang was alive, Shuofeng didn't like her very much, and Xu Jingyao could tell that he didn't like Shuofeng either, and now he was yelling like this, but he didn't accept it, and said, "If my aunt was alive, you dare to treat me like this? You are relying on my aunt's death to bully others, I look down on you, if you are so powerful, go and ask Yue Emei to hand over the antidote instead of taking me as a hostage."

This sentence refers not only to Shuo Feng, but also to Pei Huaian.

Cheng Yao couldn't stand listening and said to the young man: "What do you know? You thought the governor was willing to let you be a hostage. Do you know what the situation is now?"

Xu Jingyao's eyes flashed with sternness, and they started to argue, "Did I say something wrong? Otherwise, let me go back to Xu Mansion."

"You don't want to walk out of the gate of Dudu's Mansion." Shuo Feng threatened him.

Pei Huai'an was annoyed when he heard that, and stood up. His standing made the other three people no longer dare to speak.Under the eyes of the three people, he walked slowly towards the door step by step. Shuo Feng stepped forward to help him and said, "Master, where are you going?"

"study."

The man's voice was clear and clear, but as he was blind, he lacked a trace of vigor.

Shuo Feng helped him to walk towards the study room, and after leaving the door, he turned around and said, "Xu family boy, why are you here if you haven't followed?"

Waiting for illness.Xu Jingyao said these two words silently in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.

He walked out the door.

Pei Huai'an felt that he was following behind her. He didn't want to say anything, but his heart moved and he spoke: "The Tong family has deployed fifty thousand troops outside the capital. The Tong family will be wary of me here. The imperial reinforcements are on the way. Please delay." One day, the better for the court, if the Tong family knows that I am blind, I am afraid they will attack the capital immediately."

Xu Jingyao responded: "Oh." No matter what, he couldn't change the fact that he took himself as a hostage.

"That's why, I need to heal my eyes as soon as possible." Pei Huai'an said again.

Xu Jingyao showed no sign of relaxation.

Still on guard.

He asked: "How are you sure that she will give you the antidote for my sake? What if she doesn't care about my life or death? She has a good relationship with my aunt but not with me, so why should she care about me."

Pei Huaian's next words left him confused.

"She doesn't care about you, it's enough that Zhaoyang cares about you."

Not to mention Xu Jingyao, even Shuo Feng couldn't figure it out.

The three of them did not speak again, and walked along the curved corridor to the study amidst the sound of rain.

The news that a group of royal guards broke into the Xu Mansion and took away Xu Jingyao quickly spread to Jinchunfang.

Xia Que suppressed this matter, and did not let Princess Huaining know that she was discussing countermeasures with Yue Emei: "Emei, no one can cure your secret poison except you, right?"

Yue Emei nodded with a serious face, "It can be said that I researched this poison, and there is nothing I can do about it even if my grandfather came. After all, it is a poison that I am proud of."
