Chapter Ninety-Six: Ah Yan rebelled again
Feng Yan quietly stared at the aura around her aunt.
She obviously felt that what the old man said seemed to be true, but when the old man talked about these things, every sentence and every word seemed to carry a faint mockery.
"I still have something curious," Feng Yan said softly, "Is it really only the Spirit River that is suppressed under the Liufu Garden?" ”
Old Madam Feng laughed.
She looked deeply into Feng Yan's eyes and replied in a low and slow voice, "...... Who knows. ”
"Auntie's words...... What is the meaning? ”
Feng Yan's body leaned forward slightly—in this matter, the old man had something to hide.
However, Old Madam Feng's expression had regained its usual majesty, and she asked in a tense voice, "You answer me first, how did you persuade the emperor to tell you this secret?" ”
Feng Yan pondered for a moment, and then spoke with some embarrassment, "...... I didn't convince the emperor, I didn't convince anyone. ”
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to make it clear, why are you lying to me now!" Old Madam Feng suppressed her anger, "In this matter, Wei Xingzhen can't pry the emperor to open his mouth on his own, it must be you...... You must have been instrumental in this—"
"We really didn't know it from the emperor." Wei Xingzhen replied, "If you don't believe me, you can find time to go to the Taichu Palace to ask, and we haven't had time to tell the emperor yet—of course, sooner or later." ”
Feng Yan nodded on the side.
"Do you think I won't ask?"
"Of course you can ask." The two replied at the same time, and Feng Yan continued, "Then you will know that what we said is true." ”
Old Madam Feng's eyes were shocked again, "Then what are you ......?"
Wei Xingzhen replied, "If you have to say it, it was Old Madam Feng that you personally told Ah Yan the answer, and then Ah Yan heard the truth of the matter again from elsewhere. ”
The old man's expression was even more stunned, "What are you talking about-"
"Ah...... You don't have to listen to his nonsense. Feng Yan gently pinched Wei Xingzhen, "Anyway, thank you for telling us all this." ”
The old man frowned, "You were originally ...... How much do you know about sacrifice? ”
"Except for the result of the sacrifice and the fact that the jade will turn red, I don't know anything else, so I need to ask you for advice." Feng Yan said softly, "However, since my birthday is on the fourth day of April next year, there must still be time-"
"Where did you know about your birthday?"
Feng Yan showed a helpless smile, "In short, maybe there will be some other way to sacrifice for a while, I think ......"
"There's no other way." The old man indifferently interrupted Feng Yan's words, "Don't be so naïve, there are martyrs who are obstructing it this year, and things will only be more tricky than in previous years, Ah Yan, who do you think will be the most detrimental if this matter continues to drag on like this?" ”
Feng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "...... To me. ”
"If you know, it's good." Old Madam Feng sneered twice, "Don't be carried away by the momentary love, it really drags on to the point of being out of control, do you think that the Holy Lord will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade and spare your life?" At that time, this wild boy from Daizong Mountain can protect you - can he take you to the ends of the earth? ”
Wei Xingzhen wanted to answer, "If Ah Yan is willing, it will be the end of the world."
But after thinking about it for a while, he held back.
“…… I understand. Feng Yan spoke with some difficulty.
"If you really understand, follow me into the palace now, and present all the words you just said to me to Your Majesty again!"
Feng Yan's voice lowered, "Maybe, it's not time to ...... yet"
"There is no room for delay in this matter!" Old Madam Feng raised her voice again, "We still don't know what the martyr did to the Spirit River under Daizong Mountain, so we can't slow down our reaction, otherwise—"
Feng Yan stood up suddenly.
Old Madam Feng's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at Feng Yan with a stern expression, "...... What are you doing? ”
Feng Yan took two steps back, she solemnly leaned over and kowtowed to the old man, "Auntie, I'm offended." ”
In an instant, in the eyes of Old Madam Feng, whether it was Feng Yan or Wei Xingzhen, they all disappeared in an instant.
She was the only one in the room.
The old man immediately got up and walked out—but when he pushed the door open, the doors and windows that had led to the courtyard led to another room that was identical to the one that had been there.
…… Magic?
Wei Xingzhen's voice suddenly came from the void, "The old lady is here to rest for a while, whether it's three meals a day or anything else, just ask, someone will bring it to you." ”
"It's the other way around......" The old man was furious, "Ah Yan! Ah Yan! You are...... Is that so for me? ”
"She can't hear her." Wei Xingzhen replied, "But don't worry, we won't let you stay here alone for too long." ”
"Let me out!"
The old man's voice echoed through the empty room, but no one answered her.
……
"Ah Yan, are you okay?" Wei Xingzhen looked at his wife's somewhat pale face.
Feng Yan was still a little stunned and looked at the road in front of her - the two had already left the house and were walking on the way to the nearby wing.
It was already completely dark, and the only thing that lit the way ahead was the lantern in Wei Xingzhen's hand.
"I ...... It's okay. ”
Feng Yan stretched out her hand to support her forehead, although the matter was still being planned, but she was still a little dazed when she thought that she had really directly detained her aunt in Wei Xingzhen's illusion.
At this moment, an "Old Lady Feng" with a slightly dull expression was walking between her and Wei Xingzhen.
"If you're not feeling well, go and rest." This old lady Feng spoke in a gentle voice, "People who don't have a good rest can't do things well." ”
Feng Yan looked at the person in front of her with a complicated expression, and still replied in a low voice as before, "Yes, follow my aunt's teachings." ”
The three of them were walking in the courtyard, and several of Old Madam Feng's maids were silently watching not far away.
Later, he sent a message to these maids, saying that Old Madam Feng was planning to stay in the Wei Mansion in the next few days, because she had a lot to say to Feng Yan.
Several maids looked at each other - the old lady did often come to talk to Feng Yan so suddenly in the past, which was not unusual in itself.
However, going down the mountain today is different from the past, and the old lady was obviously on fire before coming to the Wei Mansion, but after nightfall, seeing the old lady and Feng Yan and his wife visiting the garden with great interest, I think it is probably untying the knot......
He even said, "The old lady asked you to bring her pillow, which is available in other parts of our house, so I won't bother with a few sisters." ”
"Did the old lady say when we should pick her up?"
Qu Shi shook his head, "She asked you to go back to Feng's house first and wait, when she wants to go back, we will come to interrogate." ”
"Okay." The maid at the head nodded, "Let the old lady wait, we will bring the pillow in an hour." ”
