Chapter Seventy-One: Lord Wei, Why?
"Please...... Wait a minute," Feng Yan shook her head, "Why did Du Tianshi insist that my lethargy last year was because of a 'thread'?" It's a possibility, but if there's no evidenceβ"
"Of course there is evidence, at the scene of the spell casting, there is your birthday." Du Weifeng said softly, "I have personally confirmed this with Old Madam Feng at that time. β
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Feng Yan was stunned for a moment - her aunt had never mentioned this matter to her.
Looking at Feng Yan's expression, Du Yanfeng was also surprised, "Until now, hasn't anyone told you yet?" β
Feng Yan shook her head.
No, not at all.
Until recently, she thought it was an unsolved and confusing case......
"So last year, it was the Heavenly Master who saved me?" Feng Yan asked.
Du Weifeng shook his head, "No, not this time." β
"Who's that?"
Du Weifeng looked at Wei Xingzhen, "It's Lord Wei - from finding someone to hunting down, he took care of the work alone." β
Feng Yan held her breath again.
She looked at Wei Xingzhen, who was sitting nearby, his expression was still as calm as before.
Du mocked and said, "Besides, you are more able to survive, ordinary people who have won this forbidden technique can't last for seven days, and you can last for a whole month." β
Feng Yan laughed very softly, she lowered her head, and the hair on her forehead cast a shadow in front of her eyes, covering her eyes.
"I probably understood what the Heavenly Master said." Feng Yan said softly, "Can you please tell me what exactly I need to do?" β
"It's good for you to come with me on a trip to Daizong Mountain in the next few days." Du Weifeng's eyes burned, "This matter has come to this point, it is already the end, Ah Yan only needs to wait in the mountains like he killed the pseudo-Luan five years ago, in short, very, very, very simple." β
"Martyr...... In the mountains? β
"Maybe it's there, maybe it's not, it doesn't matter." Du Weifeng's voice was deep and powerful, obviously in his chest, "The important thing is that the key to crushing this conspiracy is in the mountain stream. It's too late now, and if you open this conversation box again, I'm afraid it's going to be tomorrow dawn. Let's wait until we get to the mountains. β
Feng Yan nodded, and agreed.
Sun You looked at Feng Yan slightly and said softly, "Ah Yan, is she here for Lingju tonight?" β
Feng Yan nodded again.
"Maybe I've spoiled her too much over the years, and she dares to bring people to you so unscrupulously." Sun Youwei whispered, "Let's let her reflect on it in Dali Temple for a few more days." β
Feng Yan bowed and kowtowed, and gently pressed her forehead on the back of her folded hand, "Thank you Your Majesty for your thoughtfulness, but for this matter, the Feng Cen family has not been at peace for the past two days, so it is better to release the county monarch as soon as possible and hand it over to the eldest princess for punishment." The prison of Dali Temple is not a place where she can stay for a long time, and the junjun has been locked up for a day and a night, which is enough. β
"Ah Yan is not annoyed that she is so presumptuous?"
Feng Yan shook her head, "...... Your Majesty is serious. β
The old man on the throne no longer spoke, but the aura on his body became more and more peaceful.
In the entire hall, Feng Yan was the only one who could feel such a changeβbecause there was still no smile on the old man's face, and a pair of dark pupils stared calmly ahead.
Sun You breathed a sigh of relief, originally worried that Feng Yan would have some plans in this matter...... Now it seems that it is too much to worry about.
"Let's all be flat."
All three of them stood up.
"That's it for today, it's hard for you to come to the palace to intercede for the county monarch as soon as you wake up tonight." Sun Youwei spoke softly, she looked at Feng Yan, "I will send someone to Dali Temple tonight to release people, and I will tell her whose leniency has reduced her punishment tonight." If there is still discord in the Cen family in the future...... I'll teach them some truths. β
Feng Yan bowed slightly.
Sun Youwei looked at Wei Xingzhen again, "Take care of Ah Yan." β
"I understand."
The sound outside had already sounded three times, Sun Youwei endured the sleepiness, and said in a low voice, "Master Du Tianshi will stay for a while, I ...... I have some more things to ask you. β
β¦β¦
Out of the palace gate of Taichu Palace, Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan slowly walked down the stone steps.
When they got to the ground, Feng Yan was panting again, and Wei Xingzhen also stopped.
While waiting, as if he was worried that Feng Yan would not be able to stand steadily, he naturally stretched out his hand to block behind her. Feng Yan also saw Wei Xingzhen's action, she closed her eyes and sighed.
"There is still labor...... Lord Wei. β
The wind of the summer night quietly blew through the palace road, and Feng Yan still leaned in Wei Xingzhen's arms towards the palace gate as when she came.
The two walked very slowly, very slowly.
"Why have you never heard of Master Wei mentioning last year? It's my aunt...... Don't you make a noise? β
Wei Xingzhen shook her head, "No, it's the opposite." It was I who instructed Old Madam Feng not to tell anyone about this. β
Feng Yan was puzzled, "Why?" β
Wei Xingzhen's voice was very soft, "If I become Ah Yan's savior, how can I marry you as my wife?" β
Feng Yan reacted for a while, and then understood-
If Feng Yuandao and the Li family knew that their daughter was rescued by Wei Xingzhen last year, then the two of them would categorically not agree to this marriage - because, no matter how Wei Xingzhen's background is, in this matter, the Feng family has no reason to take revenge.
Wei Xingzhen said again, "At that time, Mrs. Feng asked how to thank me, I only asked him for one thing, does Ah Yan know what it is?" β
For a while, looking at the faint smile on Wei Xingzhen's face, Feng Yan couldn't cry or laugh - now she understands why her aunt is so supportive of Wei Xingzhen in her marriage.
She raised her head, "Lord Wei...... Do you think you have a long life? β
"Maybe." Wei Xingzhen muttered, "But anyway, I want Ah Yan to be my wife." β
"Why? Just because I met in the Taichu Palace, Lord Wei didn't even want his life for me? β
"Yes." Wei Xingzhen replied bluntly, "No." β
ββ¦β¦β
Feng Yan suddenly regretted her recklessness in marriage. She thought about Wei Xingzhen's various goals for approaching herβbut she never thought that one day she would face today's situation.
Surprised, guilty, suspicious, stunned...... She was in a complicated mood and held her forehead.
Why are things in the world always so absurd?
β¦β¦
This night, Feng Yan lost sleep again.
She lay alone on the bed, staring at the ceiling without saying a word.
As many nights before, Wei Xingzhen slept on the floor not far away.
In the dark, she could faintly use the moonlight tonight to see Wei Xingzhen's silhouette.
Feng Yan repeatedly recalled everything she heard in the Taichu Palace tonight, and felt that the whole person was a little ...... Sluggish.
Wei Xingzhen's voice came from the darkness.
"Ah Yan can't sleep."
"Hmm."
"What are you thinking?"
Feng Yan turned her head sideways and looked at the shadows not far away.
"Lord Wei...... When did you enter the rooftop? β
