Chapter 422: The Wizard's Calamity, Ming Xi is aware
"Thank you, Deputy Gang Leader!" Wei Mingxi stood up and saluted sincerely.
Qiao Huangyu also got up to return the salute, and after some politeness, he continued: "Lord Wang, when it comes to the feud between Wu and Great Wei, Lord Wang should know better than me. From the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the Great Wei Dynasty, in the past four hundred years, I don't know how many Great Wei people died at the hands of wizards, and how many wizards were killed, this blood feud is unclear. I originally thought that since Gaozu Jianguo killed the wizards who went deep into the Central Plains two hundred years ago, the witch Gu lineage has been completely extinct, but it doesn't seem to be the case. โ
Wei Mingxi nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Qiao Huangyu said: "Although I don't know how the witches survived the disaster of extermination, but according to what the prince said, now that they are dormant in Xiaogushan and have raised a large number of witch Gu, I am afraid that the time for the witches to take revenge is not far away." โ
After a pause, Qiao Huangyu said loudly: "Lord Wang, there is not much time left for us!"
"How long will it take for your people to enter Beijing?" Wei Mingxi tapped lightly on the table.
Qiao Huangyu hesitated, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "Two days at most." โ
When Wei Mingxi and Fu Rongyue heard this, they lifted their eyelids almost at the same time and looked at Qiao Huangyu unexpectedly. Speaking of which, I'm afraid there are quite a few people of the Qiao clan who are hiding in the capital, right? Otherwise, just from the capital to the northwest, no matter how fast the birds transmit the message, it will take several days for the Qiao clan to travel from the depths of the desert to the capital!
No wonder Qiao Huangyu was so hesitant!
However, now that you know, there is no need to ask immediately, Wei Mingxi and Fu Rongyue are both extremely able people. Wei Mingxi said: "Since it will take two days, there is still some time, I have to enter the palace to report this matter to my father and ask my father what he means." โ
"I'll go with you. Fu Rongyue said busily.
Wei Mingxi agreed after a little thought: "It's okay." โ
The two of them have a lot of things to prepare, and they should settle Qiao Huangyu before entering the palace. Fu Rongyue originally wanted to arrange Qiao Huangyu in the Meiguo Mansion, but now that she is about to get married, the Lingwang Mansion and the Meiguo Mansion are not safe, so after thinking about it, she has to place Qiao Huangyu in Qinghefang. Although Qinghefang is a flower building with many people, but just a murder case, Qinghefang is currently in the process of suspension and rectification, and no one cares; moreover, Qiao Huangyu is from the rivers and lakes, and it is not very appropriate to place it in the Lingwang Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, and it is easy for people to associate the affairs in Jiangnan with Wei Mingxi, so in this way, Qinghefang is the best place.
Fu Rongyue was a little embarrassed, for fear that Qiao Huangyu would think that he had neglected him, but fortunately, Qiao Huangyu didn't like to care about these by nature, and he was used to walking on the rivers and lakes, so he readily agreed.
Immediately, Fu Rongyue sent a letter to Lu Qi, asking Lu Qi to come and take Qiao Huangyu back, and specially instructed Lu Qi that when Qiao Huangyu was in Qinghefang, he must be properly arranged as a guest of honor.
Lu Qi wrote them down one by one and led Qiao Huangyu to go, and Wei Mingxi and Fu Rongyue entered the palace hand in hand.
Emperor Shou was very surprised that the two of them asked to come to see him so late, Emperor Shou's health was deteriorating, and the time to summon Wei Mingxi alone became less and less. He also knew that with Wei Mingxi's intelligence, it was already difficult to continue to conceal Wei Mingxi without a trace, and Wei Mingxi had already suspected it, but he just kept quiet!
Emperor Shou didn't want to see him, but Fu Rongyue followed him into the palace, so he guessed that there was something extremely important, and hurriedly asked Xie Anyang to change his clothes for him.
When Wei Mingxi heard that Emperor Shou summoned them to the dormitory, his eyelids were slightly raised, and he quickly returned to calm.
Fu Rongyue was also a little worried, and while Wei Mingxi was not paying attention, she asked Ah Zhi, the little inner eunuch who came to announce the decree, "Your master is waiting in front of Your Majesty?"
"Yes, the master has never left His Majesty these days. Achi said busily.
Fu Rongyue nodded, and seeing that Wei Mingxi was talking to the forbidden army on duty tonight, she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Ah Zhi glanced at Wei Mingxi, but did not answer, only lowered his head and shook it gently.
Fu Rongyue's heart fell to the bottom, her eyes suddenly moistened, she quickly touched it with a handkerchief, signaled Ah Zhi to stop talking, be careful to let Wei Mingxi hear, and walked quickly to Wei Mingxi's side.
Wei Mingxi's face did not change, and he held her hand tightly: "Let's go." โ
Fu Rongyue couldn't hold whether he heard the conversation between him and Ah Zhi, and didn't dare to ask rashly, he looked at him hesitantly, and finally held back the bitterness, held Wei Mingxi's hand tightly, and said as if nothing happened: "Now that Manager Xie is also old, he was originally summoned to come in person at night." โ
"It's always sick when you're old, I heard that Xie Anyang had injured his legs and feet when he was young, and he was not very peaceful in winter, and he rarely moved around when he was summoned in winter. Wei Mingxi said lightly.
Fu Rongyue asked strangely: "Manager Xie's legs and feet have been injured? โ
"Well, Xie Anyang was originally a personal guard under his father's command, guarding the safety of his father's left and right. In the battle of Huquan, his father was ambushed, Xie Anyang sacrificed himself to save his father, and his right leg was trampled by a horse's hoof. The father is naturally very grateful to Xie Anyang, and Xie Anyang is grateful for the kindness of his mother, so he cherishes the regained leg very much, and has been working hard to maintain it for so many years. Wei Mingxi said, with a smile on his face: "When I was young, I liked to play with him very much, always pestering him to hug, he couldn't go too far with me, I was curious and asked my mother, only to know that there was still this reason." โ
"Xie Anyang was originally a personal guard, why did he enter the palace again......" Fu Rongyue was thin-skinned, and the last few words couldn't be said after all.
Wei Mingxi looked at the deep palace, his expression was slightly stunned: "Because of the concubine." โ
Fu Rongyue stopped and glanced at Wei Mingxi strangely.
Wei Mingxi held her hand, as if telling a story about others: "The mother concubine has saved Xie Anyang several times, and for Xie Anyang, the mother concubine is the most important person in her life." Because he was worried that his mother had nothing to rely on in the palace, he voluntarily entered the palace as the chief steward, in order to repay his mother's life-saving grace. โ
"Does Your Majesty know?" Fu Rongyue was silent for a while before asking.
Wei Mingxi shook his head: "Father doesn't know. After a pause, he said, "Or, my father pretended not to know." โ
The reason why my father trusts Xie Anyang so much is that in addition to Xie Anyang growing up with him, it is also because he understands Xie Anyang, understands Xie Anyang's mind, and understands how Xie Anyang is willing to do for his mother!
I heard that my mother refused to see her father before leaving, but she saw Xie Anyang alone, and no one knows what the two talked about secretly.
Including the Father's ......
Wei Mingxi's eyes were deep, perhaps, this is why Xie Anyang refused to help anyone, but chose himself, right?
The two soon arrived in front of Emperor Shou's bedroom, Emperor Shou was already waiting there, his face still looked very pale, and the spirit of the strong fight was not effective, the candlelight in the dormitory was dim, and when the two came in, Emperor Shou did not glance, Xie Anyang had led the two to sit down, and asked: "Your Royal Highness and the princess please see you late at night, I don't know what it is for?"
"Father, do you remember the surviving witch of Great Wei?" Wei Mingxi sat up straight and asked.
As soon as the word Wu entered his ears, Emperor Shou's expression cracked for a moment, and he glanced at Wei Mingxi quickly, and his eyes fell on Fu Rongyue.
Fu Rongyue shook her head slightly, looking like she wanted to say something and stopped.
Emperor Shou's heart suddenly went up and down, could it be ...... What did Wei Mingxi know? But Rong Yue wouldn't say it, what went wrong?
Emperor Shou bowed: "I know." โ
He didn't dare to say a word more, knowing that Wei Mingxi was smart, he was afraid that if he said too much, he would make a mistake, so that Wei Mingxi could see what signs were coming.
Wei Mingxi stared at him for a few moments, and quickly said: "Father and Emperor also remember Wu, so let's make a long story short." Erchen recently learned that there are people in our capital who secretly raise a group of wizards, and these wizards live in secret passages, leading to Xiaogu Mountain. In the hinterland of Xiao Gu Mountain, they raised a terrifying amount of Gu poison. My eyeliner had just passed on the news, and I was quietly killed by Gu Poison. โ
"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Shou's face changed suddenly.
Wei Mingxi said: "Father, son-in-law remembers that many years ago, the wizards of the Eastern Wei Dynasty had been slaughtered, and I don't know why there were still wizards left?"
"Wizards aren't all bad people, and there are many wizards with good hearts. Emperor Shou did not doubt him, and said slowly: "It's like the people of Great Wei are not all good people, but also many bad people. The extermination of the clan back then was not really extermination, but only the destruction of a few branches of the wizards. โ
"So, my father has always known that there are still witches alive in the world?" Wei Mingxi's eyes were scorching, and he asked without blinking while staring at Emperor Shou.
Emperor Shou bowed: "I know." โ
"The whereabouts of the wizard have always been a secret, how did my father know about it?" Wei Mingxi leaned over: "Did the mother concubine tell the father?"
"Yes. Emperor Shou knew that he would have such a question since he asked about the wizard, and he also thought of the wording: "Your mother was once a psychic medium, and it is not unusual to know this." โ
Wei Mingxi's face became extremely unpredictable in an instant.
No one saw it, and his hand on the chair was quietly tightened in his sleeve, and his nails almost crushed his palm. He had thought of any answer, and the last thing he wanted to hear was this answer!
Because this answer means that the father is lying to him!
Why did you lie to him?
He didn't dare to think about it!
There is only one thing that can make my father go to great lengths to hide!
He closed his eyes, his heart was sad, and his lips trembled slightly several times before he let the words he spit out calm and calm: "Father, how to deal with the wizard of Xiaogushan who still has such a Gu poison, please show my father!"
