Half an hour later, Jiang Mei, who had been tossing all night, finally returned to her residence, Ruoxue followed behind her without saying a word, at this time Jiang Mei's face was ugly and ugly, Ruoxue knew the reason, but the other person didn't know......

"Miss....You're finally back...."

A girl who looked exactly like Ruoxue ran out of the back room, and she hurriedly supported Jiang Mei with a happy face.

Jiang Mei rescued a pair of twin sisters living on the street ten years ago, the two sisters' parents died early, helpless, so they have stayed by Jiang Mei's side to serve, but the two sisters look average, but their temperaments are very different, one has a round face, a smile and a smile, and a face like frost, indifferent and solemn, compared with Ruoxue's coldness, this lively woman in front of her is like a cloud.

When she saw Jiang Mei Tieqing's face, she didn't know what to say, Jiang Mei didn't look at her, just pulled a face and walked straight inside, Ruoyun saw this, stretched out her tongue towards Ruoxue, Ruoxue made a look, signaled her not to squeak, and the two sisters had to follow in.

Jiang Mei poured herself a glass of water, raised her head and drank happily, then she put down the kettle, propped her hands on the desk, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Jiuzhu back?" ”

Ruoyun was stunned, I don't know what the situation is, she and Ruoxue glanced at each other, Ruoxue looked around the room, but he was nowhere to be seen, just as she was about to open her mouth to go back to Jiangmei, a voice came from the door: "Miss....I'm back......"

At this time, he had already faded into black clothes, wearing a green shirt, and there was no trace of love on his slightly cold and hard face, he slowly approached Jiang Mei, lowered his head and said nothing else,

Jiang Mei glanced at him when she heard the voice, her face softened a little, and said, "How is he?" ”

Jiuzhu nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay, the injury is not serious... It should be no big deal! ”

"What about people?" Jiang Mei turned her head and didn't look at the three of them, with a hint of anger in her tone,

"I sent him to the ferry, and someone answered over there, thinking that he had already left Xiakou..."Jiuzhu replied in a low voice,

Jiang Mei snorted coldly, staring at the candle flame motionlessly, and only after a while did he speak: "Recklessly, he actually challenged the martial arts masters present on such an occasion, he is really impatient!" ”

Jiang Mei was so frightened by a low cry that the three of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to squeak, the three people who had followed her for many years, where did they see that she was really angry, it seemed that someone was going to be punished....

"Passing the message, without my order, he is not allowed to step out of Cangbi Mountain for half a step!"

"Yes!" Jiuzhu replied,

"In addition, send someone to keep an eye on Yu Qi and figure out his details, if he hadn't been killed halfway today, it wouldn't have been so thrilling!" Jiang Mei raised her head, and the anger in her eyes was even worse,

"What is the origin of this Seventh Prince, who almost ruined our plan?" Ruoxue, who followed Jiang Mei all the way, was clear about the situation tonight, so she said the question in her heart,

Jiang Mei, who was angry, finally felt a little more comfortable, her body relaxed, turned around, walked over, looked at Ruoxue and said: "Sneaking into Pei's Mansion with a mask, and caring so much about the person who looks on the spot, why is it also a nobleman in the court..."

"No matter what, pay attention to his actions...."After Jiang Mei dropped this sentence, she went into the back room to rest.......

After this night, Jiang Mei was able to rest well, but this earth-shattering news had spread throughout Xiakou City overnight.

Early the next morning, the streets and alleys of Xiakou City knew the news of the assassination of the Nine Emperor Princes at the birthday banquet of Taifu Pei, and even more, they added oil and vinegar to it, describing the whole incident vividly, so Pei Mansion has been pushed to the forefront.

On the same day, Pei Yan's nephew, Pei Fu, who is now the internal history of Wuchang County, almost turned the entire mansion upside down with his family soldiers, but he still didn't find the shadow of the assassin.

Around the end of the evening, after a day and a night of investigation, except for a few children of the scholar clan who came from afar, everyone else was released. People from all over the world who came to celebrate their birthday had to rest at the inn for another night.

In a private room of the Yellow Crane Inn in Xiakou, Yu Qi was leaning on a few sides, bowing his head and drinking tea, he was still wrapped in a human skin mask.

"How's the investigation going?" The low voice exudes majesty...

There was a man kneeling in front of him, and the man didn't even dare to look at him, but bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Hui Gongzi, for the time being....I haven't found out where she came from, but... Listening to Childe's description, I feel that she is like a character who is rumored to be on the rivers and lakes..."

Yu Qi's eyes moved, and he suddenly remembered something, and the corners of his mouth swayed slightly.

"What else is there in Pei's house? What happened to the Nine Emperors? Yu Qi thought of this matter, and couldn't help but have a headache, the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River were the weakest places for his power.

He took the opportunity of Pei Yan's birthday to come to Xiakou to investigate the situation, but such a thing happened to the clinker, but if you think about it carefully, this is not all a bad thing, the more chaotic the situation, the better....... thinking about it, Yu Qi had an unfathomable smile in the corner of his eyes,

"This..."The man hesitated for a moment before replying, "The shape of the Nine Emperor Princes doesn't seem to be very good...."

Yu Qi was shocked, stopped laughing, quickly straightened up, and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Xiaoyuelou has used the best healing elixir, and the blood from His Highness's wound has stopped, but there is no sign of scarring, I heard that the wound has been miserable and white...... The Pei Mansion is now in a state of anxiety, and the children of several scholars are also restless..."

"There's no news about the assassin yet...... Yu Qi sighed slightly, the assassin shouldn't be able to catch it....it's just such an arrogant layout, such a bold plan, who did it?

"No," the man replied softly, "but I brought back some of the white* powder that the assassin had sprinkled before he fled..."

After Yu Qiyi took it, he looked at it, didn't say anything, but put it aside, and then he ordered: "Continue to keep an eye on Pei Mansion, and tell me in time if there is any trouble..."

"Yes..."

Before he could finish answering, Yu Qi continued: "In addition, send someone to follow that girl and pay attention to her actions..."

"Understood!" The man retreated.

Yu Qi poured himself a glass of wine, he took a sip lightly, a faint smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, I don't know what the capital's reaction will be after the news of the assassination of the Nine Emperor Princes reaches the capital?

It's going to be windy soon......

After sighing slightly, he picked up the book "Zuo Biography" on the desk, and continued to read.

On the third day after the birthday banquet, the capital gave a will, and Emperor Xiao ordered Pei Fu to escort the Nine Emperors back to Beijing.

Pei Yan had no choice but to order Pei Fu to take a group of scholars to send the Nine Emperor Sons Xiao Mocheng back to the capital, that day, Pei Yan not only sent away the Nine Emperors, he also sent Pei Lanying away, he married his most pitiful granddaughter to Mu Xiaohe, and it was time for this girl to go to the capital for a long time.

When he stood at the quaint and wide threshold of Pei Mansion and bid farewell to the Nine Emperor Princes and his party, there was only Pei Lanying's bright red skirt corner fluttering in the wind in the entire gray pupils, until his vision gradually blurred, until the red shrank into a red dot and disappeared, Pei Yan's heart suddenly felt a colic, and the feeling of being afraid that he would never see it again made his back chill for a while.

"Master....Why did you marry Miss Mu Shizi? The Nine Emperor Princes came this time, thinking that they intended to get married! Our Pei family married a daughter to the crown prince, if we marry another one to the Nine Emperors, then isn't our Pei family as stable as Mount Tai? ”

The housekeeper helped Pei Yan, who was a little trembling, and asked in a low voice, his white eyebrows trembled, and he didn't seem to understand Pei Yan's move very well.

"Hehe..."Pei Yan still looked at the direction of Lan Ying's departure with a dull gaze, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Pei Yun in the capital supports the crown prince, at least on the surface, we can't embarrass him, after the Nine Emperor Sons are literate, Xiao He is his companion, Xiao He returned to Ningzhou, the relationship between the two of them was excellent, so, let Lan Ying marry Xiao He, the Nine Emperor Princes also agreed......"

Pei Yan's gray eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist... His heart was as uncomfortable as pressing against a stone, his wrinkled face was hung with a trace of distant sadness, his dry lips trembled, and he said, "I still feel guilty about that child after all, and marrying Lan Ying to him can be regarded as a kind of compensation......

After a long time, Pei Yan entered the mansion with the support of the housekeeper, the huge mansion, the breeze came, but it seemed to be blowing a wisp of loneliness and old age, at that moment his heart was suddenly emptied, desolate and lost......

A sensational birthday banquet finally ended in such a way, and he could only laugh at himself.

Of course, Mu Xiaohe, who had lived in Ningzhou for a long time, also returned to Beijing with the Nine Emperor Princes, and along the way, everyone seemed to have forgotten the pain of the Nine Emperor Princes, and they were either playing chess for fun all day long, or listening to music and poetry, but the Nine Emperor Princes, who had always been chic, did not know that after returning to the capital, what was waiting for him was a greater blow.........
