After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 224

Because Wen Lu and Hongxiu had disappeared, and the crowds in Kyoto were crowded during the mid-autumn night, Xie Jie was worried about Yun Zhuo, so he personally sent her back to Yun Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of Yunfu, Yun Zhuo turned around and blessed Xie Jie: "Thank you sir for tonight, please send me back, we will see you another day."

Xie Jie laughed: "See you some other day."

If he could bear not to meet her on the street tonight, they should have some good-byes tomorrow.But that's okay, it's time for him to return to the court.

Xie Jie stood at the same spot and watched Yun Zhuo slowly walk in. He didn't turn his head back to Xie Jie until he saw her graceful figure gradually disappearing under the moonlight.

When Yunzhuo returned to Wotang residence, Hongxiu was already there. She lit a lamp and sat in the room doing embroidery.Because she was leaving for Linyao tomorrow, she wanted to embroider two more silk handkerchiefs for the girl tonight.

Seeing her daughter come back, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and said, "You came back so early? This servant is going to fetch water for you."

Yun Zhuo let out a "hmm", turned around and saw the lantern on the table, and suddenly remembered the lantern in Xie Jie's hand. She vaguely remembered that the last time they met in the market at night, she seemed to have given him a lantern too?

It seems that Xie Jie really likes lanterns, right?
She thought for a while, and then she was attracted by the silk handkerchief in the red-sleeved embroidered basket again.

……

After Xie Jie returned to Xie's mansion, after waiting for a short time, Wen Lu also came back.He handed him the lantern on the table and said, "Take it and put it in the warehouse."

Wen Lu: ...

Wen Lu took the lantern and went down.Although he really didn't understand how such a lantern could be put together with priceless gold, silver and jewels.

When he arrived at the warehouse, he saw that there was another ordinary lantern in the warehouse.He shook his head, remembering the origin of this lantern, put the lantern in his hand aside, and turned back to Xie Jie's wing.

As soon as one foot landed, his voice rang out: "The lantern tonight is a gift from Miss Yunsi again? Why does she like to give away lanterns so much?"

"But she only gave it to me." Xie Jie's thin lips parted slightly, a faint smile dimmed in his eyes, and he didn't mention how the lanterns came tonight.

Wen Lu said "Oh", and didn't intend to ask him where his confidence came from, and instead said: "Master Zheng sent a letter, saying that you have not been in the court for the past few days, and the Lu family has changed frequently."

Xie Jie nodded: "Let him go, the grasshopper after autumn will not be able to jump for a few days."

"What about the emperor?"

Wen Lu recalled the content of the letter from the Zheng family, and said: "It's still the same as before. Tonight's palace banquet, the prince presented a picture of five bats holding a birthday, but he tore it up on the spot. He suspected that the prince was mocking him for his old age and frailty. , unbearable to be king."

Xie Jie shook his head: "Once a person has that kind of thought, he will take everything with him. How about Duan Wang?"

"Prince Duan presented a pair of Ruyi jades. I heard that they were prepared at the beginning of the year. He invited Master Tan, who is well-known in Daye, to carve seal seals. The emperor didn't say anything, but he was quite satisfied."

After finishing speaking, Wen Lu said again: "But the people in the palace passed on the word, saying that the emperor has heard some rumors recently, and sent people from the palace to Taoist temples in various places in Daye, and some of them went to sea by boat. "

Xie Jie chuckled: "What other rumors can there be? It's nothing more than saying that there are fairy mountains overseas. The reward of eating the king is the matter of being loyal to the king. Since he wants to seek immortals and ask questions, we will create him a fairy from the outside world. A road of longevity."

"what do you mean?"

Xie Jie said: "Send someone to Linyao to take over the old Taoist Qingxu, and act in a more secretive way, don't let people see where you are."

"Yes." Wen Lu led the order, and said again, "General Gu also sent a letter back, saying that Ning Yi has been found, do you think you should bring him back or let General Gu solve this person?"

Wen Lu's voice became softer, and he even spoke cautiously.Ning Yi is different from other people, he can almost be said to have been single-handedly picked up by adults, his betrayal must have dealt a big blow to adults.

As expected, Xie Jie's eyes turned cold, but the more so, the more gentle his tone: "Bring it back."

Wen Lu Wei sighed inaudibly, and said yes in a low voice.He knew it would be like this, the betrayal of those close to him must be paid for by endless torture and pain.

……

At the climax of the moon, the palace banquet finally broke up amidst the sound of thanksgiving.

Pei Yan waved away the attendants and left the palace alone, but accidentally walked to Yunfu.

Just like the Yun Mansion in my memory, high walls surrounded the entire mansion, lush trees and flower branches protruded from the wall, and complex shadows fell to the ground under the reflection of the moonlight.

Pei Yan stood in the shadow of the flower tree, and at this moment her tense heart finally relaxed.

He was chatting and laughing amidst the feast of wine, and he was calm and at ease among the fragrant clothes and shadows, but when all this died down, he still only wanted to see her.

Now even if he can't meet each other, he still feels at ease outside the mansion that is separated from her by a wall.

He closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

Yun Zhuo, Yun Zhuo, these two words are a demonic obstacle that he can't solve, and an unbreakable Buddhist principle.

But she actually detested him.

The next day, handkerchiefs fluttered from the tall buildings on Suzaku Street, horses and luxury cars lined up at Baimajin Ferry, and the two vassal kings who came to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday finally set foot on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the way back to Beijing, many people spontaneously came to see him off.

At the same time, Yun Zhuo, who was far away in Yunfu, also received a letter with two poems written in Yun Zhuo's familiar handwriting: Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is changeable.

Yun Zhuo sneered, lit the booklet and burned all the letter paper, and soon the ashes fell on the envelope that had not been signed.

She really couldn't figure it out, since Pei Yan also had the chance to be reborn and had the memories of the past, how could he still stalk her like this?Shouldn't he cherish this opportunity and live together with Ning Xueyao as soon as possible?
When she was in a trance, Hong Xiu stood at the door carrying a bundle and said, "Girl, I packed it up."

Yun Zhuo came back to his senses: "Let's go, let's go to Baimajin."

After getting into the carriage, Yun Zhuo confessed: "Going to Linyao, there is a team of bodyguards to protect your safety, and Yun Qi is also with you, so that you can take care of each other, and I feel relieved. When we arrive at Linyao From now on, there is one person you have to be careful of, that is Duan Wang Peiyan. There is some disagreement between me and him, you'd better change your name, and remember to put on a disguise every time you go out."

Hongxiu nodded solemnly, expressing that he had kept all her words in his heart.

After a while, she said again: "Qiu Xing's background has been checked as a servant and maid. Her parents are both in the countryside. She went to work in Yunfu and signed a contract of prostitution. You can use her with confidence."
