Chapter 155: Hidden Mysteries
It's night.
The lights are still dim in the Manxiang Building, and many diners gather.
Eating and chatting, chatting, this scene is so lively.
A figure entered through the back door and went up to the third floor lightly. If he dared to walk through the gate in this dazzling red dress, no one would pay attention.
Lined with the moonlight hazy, Gong Wuyi's face is handsome, like an amorous woman, and her smile is all kinds of style.
He leisurely ascended the stairs, and was about to open the door, when he saw a man in black clothes standing in the corner in the dark, and when Gong Wuyi approached, the man took a few steps forward.
"Second Prince." The man nodded, and shouted Gong Wuyi respectfully.
Gong Wuyi opened the door and lit a bright lamp on the table, and suddenly the room lit up.
Gong Wuyi was really surprised when he saw the man, this black light suddenly broke into a person, and it was normal for Gong Wuyi not to think of it. But in an instant, he returned to his appearance of being a hanger, and he didn't take the man in his eyes at all.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Gong Wuyi raised his eyebrows, and sat down on the seat after speaking.
The man stood in front of Gong Wuyi, and his gentle appearance was not at all like when he met Jun Fenglin a few days ago. "Second prince, the minister has already done it, just waiting for your orders from the tributary conference, and I have come to return to my life."
Gong Wuyi chuckled. "You told the prince about these things, what did you tell me?"
Obviously, Gong Wuyi was unwilling to deal with these things, he reached out and threw a grape into his mouth, and he didn't care about it, as if he was discussing national affairs with a man.
Seeing that Gong Wuyi didn't take his words to heart so much, the man showed a helpless look on his face.
"But the emperor sent you here, and the ministers didn't discuss with you, so they went to find the prince, which is a bit overstepping." The man explained. If he can make a choice, he is afraid and unwilling to report everything to this second prince who has nothing to do all day.
The man still can't figure out which tendon the emperor made the wrong one, and handed over such an important matter to Gong Wuyi.
"The prince has done less than that?" Gong Wuyi raised his eyebrows, and he was not afraid of offending the prince.
Gong Wuyi spoke boldly, if the emperor and the prince knew, he would inevitably be punished. The man choked, not knowing how to respond.
"He has never been accustomed to me doing things since he was a child, and this time the emperor's grandfather asked me to enter Beijing, and he was so panicked in his heart, for fear that I would delay their grand cause." The corners of Gong Wuyi's mouth are slightly hooked, and his face is evil. "It's you, Master Li, who is groveling to me like this at this time, and how you think of me behind your back, I don't know."
Hearing Gong Wuyi's words, the man's heart chuckled, as if he had encountered a thunderbolt from the sky, and he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Second prince, the minister has never had too many thoughts, and please don't think too much about it." The man bowed his head heavily, trembling with nervousness.
Although Gong Wuyi is idle all day long, he is also a prince in the final analysis, and no matter how dissatisfied a man is, he will not dare to oppose him openly.
Disdain flashed in Gong Wuyi's eyes.
"Alright, I'm not going to tease you. Get up. Gong Wuyi smiled, as if what he had just said was really a joke.
The man exhaled softly, sweating from nervousness on his forehead.
"I've found some problems on my side, and it's going to take time to deal with them. But you can't get the tributary assembly, you can rest assured. Gong Wuyi's tone suddenly became serious.
His eyes were slightly empty, and Yun Xiao's face appeared in his mind.
"Okay." The man wanted to continue to ask what the problem was, but he thought that Gong Wuyi had a strange temperament, and he didn't know how to intimidate himself if he didn't treat him for a while, so he had to agree and shut up obediently.
Daxing Calendar Twelve, Deep Winter.
In the evening, the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion drove in the direction of the Five Emperors' Mansion.
Today is the day when Yun Xiaowan, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, got married, but because she had married once before, it was inconvenient to make any more fanfare, so she only invited the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yun Xiaoxiao sat in a sedan chair, and through the corner of the curtain, he could see the lights outside and the crowd was bustling.
Thinking of what happened a year ago, Yun Xiaoxiao only felt like a world away. Unexpectedly, she failed to see Yun Xiaowan and Mu Nan, a dog man and woman, get married, but today she was invited to Yun Xiaowan's second wedding as the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yun Xiaowan, Yun Xiaowan, Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, she had never met such a woman who loved tossing.
For a whole year, Yun Xiaoxiao had a home and could not go back, and was persecuted by Yun Xiaowan several times, and was pulled back when the ghost door was closed. Yun Xiaoxiao's hatred for Yun Xiaowan was so deep that she almost immediately cut her with a thousand knives.
"Lord Yun, Miss, please take a seat." The butler led the two of them all the way to the hall.
Jun Zhiyao also accommodated Yun Xiaowan, knowing that she had an old affair with Mu Nan in the past, and named her the imperial concubine. It's just that how much of it is emotional, and how much of it is calculated, and it is inconvenient for others to know.
The red lanterns are hung high in the hall, and Jun Zhiyao still has three or two friends in the capital, all of whom are young masters who soak in the wine pond and meat forest all day long, and the noise is still a little lively.
In the backyard, Jun Zhiyao, dressed in a red wedding dress, stood with his hands behind his back.
But after a while, the servant hurried over, and Bi respectfully stood behind Jun Zhiyao.
"Lord Yun's family is here?" Jun Zhiyao asked, his tone was low, and he couldn't see that he was happy today.
"Here we are." The servant answered truthfully.
"Everything is ready, right?" Jun Zhiyao then asked again, he tilted his head slightly, and the corner of his eyes swept coldly over the servant.
The servant shuddered and quickly nodded in agreement. "Fifth prince, don't worry, the medicine that the slave specially bought from Ci'an Hall is guaranteed to be effective."
"This thing must be done, or I will kill you." Jun Zhiyao gritted his teeth and sternly threatened the servant.
Today, the time and place are favorable, and Jun Zhiyao will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.
"The slave knows." The servant was burdened with a heavy responsibility, and his heart was particularly heavy.
After a few instructions, Jun Zhiyao asked the servant to retreat first.
As soon as the servant on the front foot left, a man in black came out of nowhere. Li'er hid behind the rockery, but in the blink of an eye, the man in black had already arrived behind Jun Zhiyao.
She had just been instructed by Yun Shichang to hand over Yun Xiaowan's personal jade pendant to Rouge, but when she came back, she happened to hear the rustling by the lake, and someone mentioned Yun Xiaoxiao.
Li'er subconsciously raised her vigilance, and then simply hid not far away and listened, for fear that Jun Zhiyao would hurt Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Fifth prince, this side has been ambushed." The guard reported to Jun Zhiyao.
Jun Zhiyao nodded in satisfaction. "Don't make a mistake." Jun Zhiyao spoke to the guards again about what Fang had just instructed the servant.
He took the day he and Yun Xiaowan got married to implement his plan, firstly, Jun Zhiyao did not take this marriage to heart at all, and secondly, he happened to call Yun Xiaoxiao, and it was much more convenient to take advantage of the chaos to do things.
The hall is mixed, Jun Zhiyao originally loved to spend time and drink, and he didn't know where to make these friends. Among them, the sons of powerful people also have rich businessmen and young masters, in short, there are few legitimate and good people. If Yun Xiaoxiao had an accident, no one could blame him for the fault.
Killing Yun Xiaoxiao not only helped Yun Xiaowan, but also helped himself. Jun Zhiyao raised his head slightly, his eyes full of pride. At that time, even if the East Window incident happens, everyone will only blame Yun Xiaowan.
What does it have to do with him? The corners of Jun Zhiyao's mouth rose. Smile disdainfully.
"But the fifth prince, hasn't Yun Xiaoxiao already confessed in front of the emperor? She died suddenly, but will it attract the emperor's attention? The guard was apprehensive and couldn't help but remind Jun Zhiyao.
If the emperor blames him, all of Jun Zhiyao's original efforts will be in vain.
"Why do you know so much?" Jun Zhiyao angrily accused.
Jun Zhiyao wants to kill Yun Xiaoxiao? Li'er's eyes widened.
She took two steps back, wanting to go back and tell Yun Xiaoxiao, but in a hurry, she accidentally kicked the stone, and the sound reached the ears of Jun Zhiyao and the guard, which immediately attracted the attention of the two.
"Stop chasing."
Seeing the back of Li'er running away in a hurry, Jun Zhiyao commanded.
"She's just dumb, and she can't do anything if she knows. If something happens to her, Yun Xiaoxiao will definitely pay attention, isn't it a surprise? Jun Zhiyao explained.
He knew that Yun Xiaoxiao protected Li'er and the little beggar like treasures, and when Yun Xiaoxiao was not led to the backyard, Jun Zhiyao could not tolerate the slightest mistake.
Hearing Jun Zhiyao's words, the guards retracted the steps they had just taken.
At the dining table in the front of the hall, Yun Xiaoxiao sat next to Yun Shichang, and because of the sophistication of the people, Yun Xiaoxiao had to eat a few glasses of wine.
At this time, she only felt that her stomach was on fire, and her whole body was very uncomfortable.
Li'er hurriedly ran back to the hall, and saw Yun Xiaoxiao still sitting next to Yun Shichang, so she was a little relieved.
"Pian." Sensing someone approaching, Yun Xiao turned around. "But the thing is in Rouge's hands?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked casually.
Li'er has been away for a while, if she doesn't come back, I'm afraid Yun Xiaoxiao will have to find it herself.
Li'er nodded obediently.
"That's good." Yun Xiaoxiao smiled at Li'er, and then turned her head back. As a result, Li'er pulled down her sleeve, as if she had something to say.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at Li'er suspiciously, only to see that Li'er looked anxious, and she didn't know what she was expressing.
"This girl is really funny." Someone at the table saw Li'er's movements and couldn't help but tease her. "I didn't know about it, I thought it was dancing."
With that, everyone burst into laughter.
Yun Xiao was extremely angry, and glared fiercely at the person who took the lead in laughing at Li'er.
Li'er couldn't speak, and Jun Zhiyao's little thing about killing Yun was not easy to expose, which was too obvious. Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao's puzzled expression, Li'er was anxious.
"Are you unwell? Or are you thinking about the little beggar? Yun Xiaoxiao frowned tightly. She was afraid that something would happen to her child.
Today was supposed to come over to do some superficial work, but Yun Xiaoxiao didn't bring the little beggar with him, thinking that he would be able to go back in a few hours. Yun Xiaoxiao guessed that Li'er was worried about the safety of the little beggar.
"Don't be afraid, the little beggar will be fine in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Yun Xiaoxiao gently comforted the pity. The two of them have always been close, and it is rare for Li'er to be separated from the little beggar, and there have been many things before, so it is not unusual for her to worry.
Who knew that Lian'er shook her head again and again, only hating herself for not being able to tell Yun Xiaoxiao immediately.
"What are Miss Yun and the maid whispering?"
