As soon as this unrealistic illusion appeared, Qingying immediately expelled it from her mind.
Mrs. Cui also felt that something was wrong, so she only said: "Wu Shisun rushed to help today, which is what he should do. Zhaozhao was very considerate."
The truth is certainly true.
But she also vaguely felt that there seemed to be something else in her daughter's tone...
No, it's not just my daughter.
Ms. Cui secretly looked at her father-in-law and son.
The grandfather and grandson both behaved very calmly. Is this too slow, or does it mean... that they also know something?
Mrs. Cui made frequent guesses in her heart, and she thought about many things in an instant, including but not limited to the way Mrs. Prince Dingnan comforted her today. Under this condition, she felt that the food on the table in front of her no longer tasted good.
Xu Mingyi drank a few mouthfuls of hot porridge first, and when he was about to pick up his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall.
"Master." The servant entered the hall and announced: "General Manager Li is here."
"Please come in." Zhen Guogong put down his chopsticks.
"The Duke is having a meal right now. It's really an unlucky time for our family to come."
Li Ji walked in with two eunuchs and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, when your Majesty heard that Mr. Xu was back, he was really worried, so he quickly asked the old servant to come over and see if he was injured."
While talking, he looked at Xu Mingshi.
Zheng Guojing said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble. It was just a false alarm."
A false alarm?
Li Ji tasted the four words "pin" and asked, "I wonder where the Duke found Mr. Xu?"
The Duke of Zhen sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, this is what I came for.
He was unwilling to help him find his grandson, and wanted to use his grandson to catch the assassin. I have to say that this was a contradiction in terms.
"The child was ignorant and became playful. He dismounted and chased an injured rabbit far away. He lost his way and the horse could not be found." The Duke of Zhen Guo glanced at his grandson and said with a hint of blame in his tone: "
But he was so arrogant that when he found the person, he was hiding under a rock and fell asleep."
Xu Mingshi lowered his head, with a hint of grievance in his tone: "I haven't eaten for a day, and my grandson is really tired from walking..."
In terms of acting, after all, he had been studying seriously at home during this period, so it was no problem to deal with such small scenes at this time.
"It's like this..." Li Ji was surprised and couldn't help laughing: "I thought it fell into the hands of those assassins, but now it seems it was just a misunderstanding."
Mrs. Cui sighed at the right time, and said with fear in her eyes: "If you really want to be arrested by those people, how can you come back intact..."
Looking at the three people who cooperated tacitly, Xu Mingyi, who felt that he was useless, stood there without saying anything.
"In any case, I'm lucky to be able to come back safely." Li Ji advised the serious-looking Duke Zhen: "The children are so absorbed in playing that it is inevitable that they will be careless for a while, so don't be too harsh on the Duke..."
The Duke of Zhen Guo said "hmm" and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for making this trip."
"Your Majesty is so polite. Seeing that Mr. Xu is fine, our family can rest assured and go back to meet His Majesty."
The Duke of Zhenguo then ordered his servants to see off the guests.
Ah Zhu left the yard ahead of Li Ji, took a path to Wu Chao's residence, and handed the food box to Sui Jiang.
In the hall, sitting across from Wu Chao was Mr. Fang, who had just arrived. The food was already set.
"Son."
Sui Jiang came to the hall with a food box and said, "Miss Xu's maid came and brought food. She said that if the young master has food to eat, he will give it to Xiao Qi."
And now the fact before us is obviously that the young master is about to eat it.
Then if he just said it, he should be able to go directly to Xiao Qi.
Seeing his subordinate standing at the door with a food box and no intention of coming forward, Wu Chao frowned slightly: "Bring it here -"
Sensing the protective aura emanating from his young master, Sui Jiang was stunned for a moment and stepped forward as ordered.
Just listen to my young master's instructions again: "Change these to Xiao Qi and the others, I haven't touched them yet."
Sui Jiang responded "Yes", but was puzzled in his heart.
Do you think it's too much trouble for me to go back and forth?
Moreover, what is on the table is made by Yun Jiang who lives next to Madam, so the taste is definitely not picky.
Since the young master doesn't want to eat it, he should share it with Xiao Qi.
As soon as Sui Jiang changed the food here, Mr. Fang felt that he couldn't sit still.
Therefore, looking at the food on the table, he said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "I think the ones I removed are more palatable..."
He came late tonight and didn't have time to help. It was just a meal for nothing. If the meal he got was from the young master's favorite girl, if he didn't lose his job, who would lose his job?
He would definitely not do this kind of thing that he would not be able to do even if he had a stroke in ten years.
"Young Master, please take it easy." Mr. Fang stood up with a smile and followed Sui Jiang out of the front hall.
In the hall, Wu Chao looked at the food on the table, picked up his chopsticks and started eating in a good mood.
On the other side, Li Ji returned to Emperor Qingming.
When the Yueming Pavilion was flooded and the "rescuer" lay unconscious and bloody in Linfu Hall, Emperor Qingming came to the Queen's residence to rest.
The official documents and memorials were also moved over, and Emperor Qingming was sitting in the compartment reading the memorials.
It’s hard to say whether you have the mood or whether you can take it into consideration.
Especially after listening to Li Ji's reply at this time——
"Weren't you rescued from someone from the Purple Star Sect?" Emperor Qingming frowned.
"Yes, both the Duke of Zhen and the young master said so." Li Ji recalled: "Looking at the appearance of the young master, the old slave was indeed not injured, and he did not seem to be too frightened.
Yes, when the old slave left, the whole family was eating together."
If we really encountered such a dangerous thing, would we still be able to talk and laugh while eating?
Besides, people are indeed found in the mountains.
Hearing what Li Ji said, Emperor Qingming didn't know whether he believed it or not, and picked up the hot tea at hand with dark eyes.
At this time, a eunuch came in and announced that Han Yan, the commander of the Jishi Guards, came to see him.
"Has anyone been caught?"
Han Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I have searched everywhere, but I still haven't found any trace of the assassin..."
It's really strange to say that the palace is now heavily guarded. Could it be that the opponent has wings?
No one else was present, and the emperor's usual gentleness in front of others was completely gone. Facing his incompetent confidant, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Then why are you here now?"
Han Yan lowered his head and said, "I have something else to report to Your Majesty."
After saying that, he didn't rush to speak.
Emperor Qingming looked through half a dozen purple bamboo curtains in the direction of the bedroom where the lights had been turned off, and said coldly: "Say-"
In the darkness, the queen in the bed tent opened her eyes and listened intently to the sounds coming from the cubicle.
