Daughter of a High Sect: Abandoned Concubine Reborn

Chapter 277 Did You Smell a Conspiracy?

When the two eyes met, both of them couldn't say a thousand words.

The moment Ouyang Feixue's eyes met Xuanyuan Jingyi's, her heart felt like something was hitting her, and her heart skipped a beat.

She turned her eyes away in embarrassment, and walked inside.

Her turning around and escaping made Xuanyuan Jingyi's shining eyes dim in an instant, and the loneliness in his eyes was so thick that it couldn't be melted away, and couldn't go away.

Wei Qilin asked people to go down to meet Xuanyuan Jingyi and went up the mountain. Looking at the gentle and jade-like young man, Wei Qilin smiled heartily.

"Fifth Prince, please come and be safe." Wei Qilin cupped his hands and smiled, Xuanyuan Jingyi reluctantly responded, but his attention was all on that pure white body not far away.

He didn't understand why her thin back was so stubborn, and he didn't understand whether her coldness followed her cold temper.

Every time her indifference would make his heart throb violently, this unstoppable emotion, this indifferent woman, did she even care about him at all.

"Fifth Prince, the Holy One sent you here." Wei Qilin's words brought Xuanyuan Jingyi back from his trance.

"Yes, father is worried about the situation in Xicheng, and there is no news from the prime minister and Shangshu, so let me take a look." Xuanyuan Jingyi said quietly.

Looking at the victims around, their faces are full of vicissitudes and helplessness after the disaster. The thin and haggard faces indicate that what they have encountered these days is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"I didn't know until I came here that the situation in Xicheng is so serious." Xuanyuan Jingyi frowned deeply, his eyes flickering with worry.

"Well, right now, what needs to be settled first is the food and accommodation for the victims. Some people are sick, so we need to prepare some medicinal materials." Wei Qilin's voice was very heavy, and he did not feel sympathetic to these refugees.

"I will write a letter to my father." Xuanyuan Jingyi said indifferently, his eyes noticed the situation at the mouth of the river embankment, and his frown deepened.

"Who are there?" Seeing a group of people groping for something in the river not far away, Xuanyuan Jingyi's eyes were full of doubts.

"Oh, it's Ouyang Jinxuan and his subordinates." Wei Qilin followed Xuanyuan Jingyi's gaze, and it was Ouyang Jinxuan and a dozen of his subordinates.

"Master Shangshu, why are there only these people left?" Xuanyuan Jingyi looked around. Except for the victims of the disaster, there was no real shadow of Schuman on this mountain.

"Why didn't the local officials see any of them?" Xuanyuan Jingyi felt that things were very strange. How come there are only so many people left in this huge Xicheng.

"Those stupid officials took the people's money and said they wanted to build the embankment, but they ran away with our money. The official sent by the imperial court named Mr. Shu was washed away by the flood on the day when the embankment burst. Let's go." In the crowd, an old woman heard the conversation between Xuanyuan Jingyi and Wei Qilin, and interjected involuntarily.

Xuanyuan Jingyi looked at Wei Qilin asking for confirmation, and the other party nodded, his face immediately sank, "Then Master Shu?????" He looked at Wei Qilin in disbelief, his eyes full of worry.

Wei Qilin sighed for a long time, and said, "The whereabouts are still unknown." Schumann is really an important member of the imperial court, and Xuanyuan Qiche sent Schumann to come with him because he was worried about Ouyang Jinxuan. Manzhen was washed away by the flood and her whereabouts are unknown, but Ouyang Jinxuan did not send anyone to report it for a long time.

"I'll go find the prime minister." After saying that, Xuanyuan Jingyi walked towards the side of the mountain.

Ouyang Feixue watched Xuanyuan Jingyi pull the rope down the mountain before walking towards Wei Qilin, "What's wrong with him?"

There is no denying it, Ouyang Feixue said she didn't care about Xuanyuan Jingyi, it was just an escape, she didn't want to love someone foolishly like in her previous life, she gave everything, she couldn't afford it anymore.

"I heard the news that your uncle Manzhen disappeared, so I went to find Ouyang Jinxuan." Wei Qilin didn't notice the embarrassment of Ouyang Feixue and Xuanyuan Jingyi.

Seeing Xuanyuan Jingyi walking quickly towards Ouyang Jinxuan, Ouyang Feixue's eyes showed a trace of sadness of unknown origin.

"Fifth prince?" Ouyang Jinxuan saw clearly the man standing in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Why, is the prime minister surprised that I'm back?" Xuanyuan Jingyi said coldly, there was no warmth in his eyes, he never had the patience to pretend to be such an old and cunning person like Ouyang Jinxuan.

"Where, the old minister is far away, please forgive me." Ouyang Jinxuan replied awkwardly, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, he should have thought that Ouyang Feixue is coming, Xuanyuan Jingyi or Xuanyuan Jincheng How could be absent.

"Why didn't the Prime Minister report the matter of Master Shu to the court for so long!" Xuanyuan Jingyi's words were full of majesty, and the suddenly raised tone made Ouyang Jinxuan have no choice but to suppress the flattering smile on his face.

"It's not that I don't want to report, but I'm still looking for Master Shu's body. Even if I report it to the emperor, it will only add to the troubles of the emperor. I want to find Master Shu's body first." In Ouyang Jinxuan's eyes, There was a look of embarrassment, but Xuanyuan Jingyi didn't buy his account.

He snorted coldly, "Is it your turn to figure out what will happen to your father when he finds out!" Those bright amber eyes were full of piercing brilliance.

"I'm very curious, the same way to strengthen the embankment, why Master Shu is missing, but the prime minister is safe and sound, without hurting a single hair." Xuanyuan Jingyi's eyes, as sharp as a sharp knife, pressed straight towards Ouyang Jinxuan In his heart, how could Ouyang Jinxuan not understand the profound meaning in those words.

"Fifth Prince, I don't understand what you mean." Ouyang Jinxuan's face darkened. Xuanyuan Jingyi simply suspected that Schuman's disappearance had something to do with him, but he didn't believe it when he paid attention to the evidence. Because of his status as a prince, how could he do anything to him without authorization.

Such thoughts formed in Ouyang Jinxuan's mind, which made Ouyang Jinxuan a little more impatient with Xuanyuan Jingyi's attitude.

"I'll let you understand soon." Throwing such a sentence, Xuanyuan Qiche's eyes seemed to come from an ice cellar, making Ouyang Jinxuan feel a piercing cold, as if he was about to freeze himself, A whole body of cleverness.

Seeing the back of Xuanyuan Jingyi walking away, Ouyang Jinxuan's eyes suddenly became cold.

"Prime Minister, will the Fifth Prince find out anything?" The man next to him said worriedly. Judging from Xuanyuan Jingyi's attitude just now, he seemed to know something.

"Hmph, let him check." Ouyang Jinxuan looked at Yuebai's back coldly, the real reason for Schuman's disappearance, even if he left traces, was washed away by the flood. He wants to see what Xuanyuan Jingyi can find out.
