Xile was a little unhappy when she heard Wu Yuan's arrangement.
"What are you asking them to do? It's not safe in the capital. You can't live without someone by your side."
Even though Xile is usually rude to Wu Yuan, on more than one occasion, Xile would rather take risks on Wu Yuan's behalf rather than wanting Wu Yuan to be harmed.
Yan Fei also echoed: "It is enough for me to follow Sister Xile. Please ask Miss Qiaoer and Yan Miao to stay with His Majesty."
Murong Haitang and Ouyang Shishi also nodded frequently. They both knew that Wu Yuan must not have any accidents, otherwise everything would be over.
But Wu Yuan still insisted, "Just follow my orders. If Emperor Wu is outside, then Old Man Zhuri must be there too. The three of you together may not be his opponent, but it is precisely because it is the three of you."
Only then can we have a chance to contain old man Zhuri."
Hearing what Wu Yuan said, Yan Fei was unable to refute.
Xile wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wu Yuan, "Okay, that's it. In addition, I will send an additional 10,000 imperial guards to follow you. If those ministers really betrayed, then...
…Kill him.”
Wu Yuan is not a murderous person, but he will not be merciful at critical moments.
Seeing what Wu Yuan said, Xile and Yan Fei couldn't persuade them any more.
Soon, Xile and Yan Fei left with heavy troops. They not only wanted to capture the ministers who left the capital secretly, but also to capture Prime Minister Wen and the five thousand soldiers. Finally, they found Emperor Wu and Old Man Zhuri.
.
The task is heavy and dangerous.
But Wu Yuan had a hunch that the capital was not safe either.
This is the main reason why Wu Yuan agreed to let Xile and others leave the capital.
Murong Haitang also seemed to see that Wu Yuan was worried, and also realized that the current situation was very bad.
But Wu Yuan suddenly chuckled and said: "Well, since we are already here, let's accompany Shishi to meet her family first."
Ouyang Shishi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Master, don't joke about Shishi. At this time, it's fine that Shishi can't help. How can it delay Master's time?"
Murong Haitang also didn't understand Wu Yuan's plan. At this time, why would he go to the Peacock Palace? There was no need to rush to meet the people of the Ouyang family.
However, Wu Yuan didn't listen to what the two of them said and walked into the Peacock Palace holding one by the other.
"Take it easy and don't let the Ouyang family see anything. It's not a big deal in the first place." Wu Yuan said calmly.
Ouyang Shishi is almost nervous to death now. This is the first time she has experienced such a thrilling thing. Now it is really difficult for her to pretend to be nonchalant.
When seeing Ouyang Shu and many of Ouyang's family members, Ouyang Shishi could only say hello to his family with a smile on his face.
But Ouyang Shishi still underestimated his family's understanding and concern for him.
Except for the silly brother, everyone else saw that Ouyang Shishi's expression was unnatural.
Ouyang Shu's face immediately darkened, and he immediately looked at Wu Yuan with sharp eyes.
It happened that Wu Yuan also said to Ouyang Shu: "Master Ouyang, please, I have something to tell you."
Ouyang Shu had a serious face and said without fear: "Your Majesty, please."
Ouyang Shishi immediately realized something was wrong, "Can I go too?"
"No!" Wu Yuan and Ouyang Shu said in unison.
Ouyang Shishi looked at the two men in front of her with a strange expression.
Wu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Master Ouyang, please."
"Your Majesty, please!" Ouyang Shu said politely and without a smile.
After the two people left, everyone in the Ouyang family immediately surrounded Ouyang Shishi.
Murong Haitang was forced to stay here because he stood with Ouyang Shishi.
Then she heard these people keep asking Ouyang Shishi if she had been wronged in any way, which made Murong Haitang a little bit dumbfounded.
But I am also a little envious in my heart. It feels good to have family members who care about me.
Her family has long been gone, but now the East Palace is her home.
But Murong Haitang would not have thought that not long after, she would meet her former family members, but it would almost kill her.
Ouyang Shishi kept explaining to everyone at this time, saying that she was living a good life, but unfortunately few people believed her.
This forced Ouyang Shishi to seek help from Murong Haitang. Murong Haitang was the most able to capture people's hearts and calmed Ouyang's family members with just a few words.
Finally having a chance to breathe, Ouyang Shishi also thanked Murong Haitang.
At the same time, I admired Murong Haitang immensely. They had not known each other for a long time and rarely talked to each other on weekdays. After all, Murong Haitang was a minister of the DPRK and was not as leisurely as before.
"Haitang, you are really powerful. No wonder the young master has entrusted you with such an important task."
Murong Haitang was a little embarrassed to be told, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I've met more people before, so I know more than ordinary people."
Although Ouyang Shishi is no longer familiar with Murong Haitang, she has heard of what happened to Murong Haitang.
She couldn't help but feel a little distressed and said: "I'm sorry for you. Maybe this is why my Ouyang family has ancestral precepts to prevent the children of the Ouyang family from having too close contact with the royal family."
I think Murong Haitang was once a princess with a thousand-year-old identity. Although Murong Haitang was still young at that time, she did endure the cruel reality that she should not have to endure.
Murong Haitang was very free and easy about this, "It's nothing, it's all over."
At this time, Ouyang Shishi couldn't help but ask: "But are you really the only one of your Murong royal family to survive? Or are there no people who are loyal to your Murong royal family to take care of you?"
This is a taboo topic. If Emperor Wu were in power, no one would dare to ask these questions.
But Ouyang Shishi knew that Wu Yuan didn't care about this and was really kind to Murong Haitang, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted her with such important tasks.
When Murong Haitang heard Ouyang Shishi's question, she didn't think it was anything. She glanced around and everyone in Ouyang's family was busy preparing food and clothing for Ouyang Shishi and didn't notice it before saying:
"As far as I know, I am the only one in the royal family who has survived. After all, the Dawu royal family will not allow a resurgence to happen. And I didn't know what happened at that time. My mother dressed up as a palace maid and took me to escape, but she didn't.
Not long after, my mother became seriously ill and passed away, leaving me alone, but..."
"But what?" Ouyang Shishi asked curiously.
But after asking, I felt it was inappropriate, "I shouldn't have asked so many questions."
"It's okay. It's not a big deal actually. It's just that someone seemed to be secretly helping me and my mother, but I don't know who it was. My mother never told me about it later. Her memory is too vague.
I’m not sure if I’m remembering it wrong or if there really is such a person.”
