Chu Nanzhi has been staying at the house for the past two days. Together with Ji Huazhen and Cui, she has led the ceremony officials to arrange the ceremony, inspected all the rituals, and calmly waited for Han Yichen to come to deliver the letter.
With the assassination that day, the old Yi Cheng must be eager to catch Concubine Yue and King Nandu as soon as possible, so she is not worried that the old Yi Cheng will not be interested.
Early on the morning of September 26th, as soon as it dawned, the city was already abuzz with excitement.
Although it was still raining heavily, many people rushed towards the Donghua River outside the city.
Today is the day to execute the Qi family and disciples. Everyone rushes to join in the fun, wanting to see how these villains who have been dominating Luyan Port for decades subdue the law.
This was originally a joyful thing, but Liu Yun became sentimental.
While her son-in-law went to the state capital, she left her daughters and Chu Wenbi behind, and discussed with everyone in the inner hall: "Qi Xiaolang is your uncle's flesh and blood after all, we'd better go over and see him off on his last journey."
When it came to his uncle, Chu Nanzhu was the first to look down: "Why should mother pity him? It's all his own fault for his fate today. Since the moment he was born, has he ever truly regarded his uncle as his biological father?"
Chu Nanxiang was also disobedient: "I'm afraid my mother's kind heart has been misplaced. Qi Xiaolang's surname is Qi, and his surname is not Chu. Have you forgotten how his family has persecuted our family all these years?"
Chu Wenbi just remained silent. Although he felt a little sad, thinking about his brother's unwilling eyes before his death, he resolutely followed his daughters and echoed: "Go on your own, don't drag them along."
Three sisters.”
Seeing that her father and daughter shared the same hatred, Liu Yun felt aggrieved and looked at Chu Nanzhi with embarrassment.
Chu Nanzhi just smiled calmly: "Don't worry about this, mother. Even if my uncle is still alive, Qi Xiaolang's death today was deserved and not innocent. The innocent people he persecuted are the ones we pity."
Whenever she thinks of Mrs. Zhang who hanged herself to death, Chu Nanzhi still feels uneasy in her heart.
Not to mention seeing Qi Xiaolang off, she would feel sick even if she looked at him one more time. She was afraid that if she really went to the execution ground, she would be unable to bear it and would go up and poke 10,000 holes in him herself.
And she couldn't go anywhere these days, so she could only stay at home and wait for news about Han Yicheng.
After all, such an opportunity is fleeting. Once Concubine Yue and King Nandu are alerted, it will not be easy to take advantage of them again.
Today, everyone is rushing to join in the fun, but I wonder if those two will have enough time.
Under pressure from her father and daughter, Liu Yun finally gave up her plan to collect the bodies of the Qi family and her son, and continued to go out and take care of the household chores.
Chu Nanzhi then ordered Sang Qi to follow Chu Nanxiang and the Chu Nanzhu sisters to the restaurant to find out Xie Jingchen's whereabouts today.
After noon, Han Yi Cheng from the post house finally came to the house secretly.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi, Han Yichen happily reported: "What the princess told me has finally come true. The official has asked my nephew to send people to guard the post house. He also asked the princess to come to rescue the siege and rescue the official."
"I'll go immediately."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel happy in her heart: "Master Yi Cheng rushed back to the post house immediately. He must keep an eye on the post house. If Prince Xie comes to inquire about my whereabouts, just say you don't know."
"I will take my orders."
Han Yichen was so excited that he put on his bamboo hat and left mysteriously.
Chu Nanzhi immediately called He Ying and signaled: "Send someone to quickly send an order to Peng County Magistrate. Tell him that three assassins have infiltrated the post house in the east of the city. They want to harm Concubine Yue Guifei, so he should personally take people to the post house to capture the assassins."
.”
After thinking about it, her eyebrows flashed slightly and her tone suddenly became deep as she continued: "Go to the Donghua River in person and tell His Highness secretly that I and Prince Xie are also at the inn."
"this"
He Ying frowned slightly, wondering what the princess's intention was with this arrangement.
"Go quickly."
Chu Nanzhi urged urgently.
After He Ying left, Sang Qi had returned from the restaurant. When she learned that Xie Jingchen was still in the restaurant today and had not gone to watch outside the city, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh softly: "It seems that this disciple is destined to be killed."
I can bear everything."
Then he ordered Sang Qi to return to the restaurant and inform Xie Jingchen that he was invited to meet at the post house.
Sang Qi followed Chu Nanzhi's instructions and arrived at the restaurant again. When she saw Xie Jingchen, he was playing chess with Uncle Xie Liu in the yard.
This little girl is a close attendant next to little Zhizhi. Xie Jingchen treated her extremely politely and asked gently: "But what is your master's mission?"
Sang Qi glanced at Uncle Xie beside him and hesitated to speak.
"It doesn't matter, you just say it doesn't matter."
Xie Jingchen smiled broadly.
"My master said that today everyone went outside the city to watch the excitement, and he would like to invite Prince Xie to meet him at the east posthouse in the city."
Hearing the name of the post house, Uncle Xie couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and looked at Xie Jingchen cautiously.
"Okay, you go back and tell your master, I will go immediately."
Xie Jingchen suddenly felt uncomfortable.
I probably guessed that Xiao Zhizhi felt that the post house was much safer than the restaurant, so she invited herself there.
She was so cautious, afraid of causing any gossip, and she was just trying to return the 10,000 taels of silver notes. It was really chilling.
After sending Sang Qi away, Uncle Xie asked with vigilance: "This princess actually invited you to meet at the post house. Could it be that you noticed something?"
"It's possible."
After Xie Liushu reminded him, Xie Jingchen immediately reacted: "Could it be that she wants me to help her husband expose the affair between Concubine Yue and Prince Nandu?"
"This is absolutely not possible."
Uncle Xie immediately stopped him and said: "Jingchen, you can't be used by her. We only need to reveal the news to King Pingning and let King Pingning touch Ni Lin. Then the emperor of the Dahe Empire will express his anger.
For him, after being reprimanded, it is easy for you to get that woman."
"But in this case, little Zhizhi will always be jealous of me."
Xie Jingchen frowned sadly: "I would rather suffer some setbacks than let her resent me."
After a pause, he couldn't help but sigh: "What's more, she risked her life. If I didn't go, I would let her fall into the scheme of Concubine Yue and Prince Nandu. How could I bear it?"
"That's not okay. As a woman, you went so far as to anger the emperor of the Dahe Empire. How will you explain to your father the emperor if you abandon the mission of peace talks and return to Shita City?"
Xie Liushu advised indignantly.
"Uncle Liu is serious."
Xie Jingchen said coldly: "If the peace talks fail, wouldn't it just fulfill the wishes of those generals and my second brother?"
Seeing that Uncle Xie Liu was still unwilling, he had no choice but to patiently persuade:
"Uncle Liu, don't worry, this matter will not affect the peace talks between the two countries. Even if I expose this matter, the emperor of the Dahe Empire will not direct his anger at me. It will only arouse the jealousy of Concubine Yue and King Nandu.
But so what, we are not the people of Dahe, and whether it is war or peace is ultimately decided by the emperor of the Dahe Empire."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shiyao walked into the courtyard quietly. Listening to Prince Xie's words, her pretty face was already dark and gloomy.
