"Nowadays, the capital is not as stable as before. In addition, there are people from the Purple Star Sect pretending to be ordinary people, and the people's hearts are not united. Since no trace has been traced in three days, it will be even more difficult to find the person." Wu Chao held the tea.
Zhan said.
Xu Mingyi looked at the drizzle outside the window: "This is not a bad thing, childish and innocent."
It was indeed them who exposed Prince Xiang's affairs, but this did not prevent her from thinking that the child was innocent.
Especially in the current situation, where we see so many human lives as insignificant, it would be a blessing if there are innocent people who can survive in this turmoil.
But not every innocent person has such good luck.
With the current situation being like this, there are bound to be many more people affected and implicated, and sometimes it is not something that can be avoided by humans.
But that doesn't stop you.
On the contrary, the more this is the case, the more we must make up our minds and move forward - only those who can bear the burden of this world and move forward unswervingly can bring a new way out to the world, break through the darkness, and usher in
Sky light.
The girl's sight seemed to be above the rain curtain in front of her, but she seemed to see something farther away through the rain curtain.
The drizzle in summer is pleasant and comfortable.
Even if the wind blows slantly into the window, it is still gentle and refreshing.
The girl's clear eyelashes were covered with hazy rain and mist, making her eyes clearer and clearer - Wu Chao, who was also aware of the girl's thoughts at this time, felt in a daze that these eyes were his in this world.
The cleanest thing I have ever seen.
What he thought was clean at this time was not like a blank sheet of paper that had never seen any darkness, injustice, blood and filth.
But even though she is in the darkness, she still has tenderness and kindness in her heart and moves forward firmly towards the light.
People standing next to her can clearly see that there is light on her body.
Sensing his gaze, Xu Mingyi turned her head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Wu Chao was about to say something, he suddenly heard Tianmu shouting from the side.
The big bird was sitting in the chair next to him. I don't know what happened, but he fell down in the chair, raised one wing, exposed his swollen belly, and made an urging sound.
Wu Chao looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Can't you be showing off to him that your belly is bulging?
Xu Mingyi looked over and said with a smile: "I guess it means you can tickle it."
"...?" Wu Chao frowned.
This bird not only wants to be a human, but also wants to be a master of humans.
Seeing that he didn't move, Tianmu jumped off the chair and walked towards the hostess opposite. He also made a cooing sound in his mouth. Combined with the dissatisfied back, it seemed to express "I can't even scratch an itch."
Master, what else is there to cherish?" This sentiment.
Looking at the girl who bent down to tickle the big bird, Wu Chao felt very complicated.
Sure enough, children who are too arrogant are accustomed to it by their elders.
The young man who was somewhat displeased by this scene turned to business and said, "Yesterday I learned some inside information about the death of King Xiang."
Xu Mingyi raised his head after hearing this, "Inside story?"
"My aunt has an internal eunuch who serves as an informant. He was recently assigned to work in the imperial study. He was also present when King Xiang's accident happened." Wu Chao said, "Although he was guarding outside the palace, he vaguely heard it.
There was some movement and some clues were seen - King Xiang probably died at the hands of the emperor."
Xu Mingyi was slightly startled.
Now everyone knows that King Xiang was killed on the spot by the guards because he wanted to harm the emperor. If this was the case, the emperor must have been protected by everyone, so how could he get close to King Xiang?
So, the external statement is false?
It doesn't matter how King Xiang died, but why did the emperor do it himself?
Was it because he was angered by King Xiang's betrayal?
Xu Mingyi shook his head slightly in his heart.
Judging from the dog emperor's narrow and vicious character, if he hates someone so much, it is impossible for him to let him die so easily.
"Is it because he doesn't want King Xiang to have another chance to speak?" Xu Mingyi looked at Wu Chao and guessed.
"It's very possible that King Xiang is the emperor's right-hand man, and he must know many secrets that others don't know." At this point, Wu Chao's voice lowered slightly: "Maybe it has something to do with what happened eighteen years ago -"
Eighteen years ago...
Xu Mingyi nodded slowly.
From the last conversation between His Royal Highness King Yan and Uncle Wu, we can know that there seemed to be a lot of strange things going on in Beijing eighteen years ago.
And fewer and fewer people are likely to know the truth back then.
She thought that the Wu family and King Yan must have never stopped searching for the truth over the years, but everything happened in the capital, in the palace - but at the emperor's feet, everything was under the control of the emperor.
After the traces are deliberately erased, it is not easy to find out completely.
But that was in the past——
In today's capital, the emperor no longer necessarily has firm control over everything.
"Don't worry, I believe everything will come to light soon." Xu Mingyi said.
Whether it was the real cause of his biological mother's death or something else - this time was different from the previous life, with so many people working together early on, the process and results were destined to be different.
The two of them talked about other things. Seeing the sky outside the window getting darker, Xu Mingyi said: "The time is almost here, I should go."
Wu Chao faintly heard the underlying message: "Aren't you going back home?"
It seemed like I had something to do.
"Going to meet someone."
No--
To be precise, to kill people.
Looking at the girl's slightly cold eyes, Wu Chao guessed: "Zhan Yunzhu?"
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Wu Chao looked at her and said, "You don't need to go there in person to do this -"
Just let the people under my command finish it off cleanly.
He seemed to be able to guess her thoughts without her needing to say anything. Was this because he was smart enough, or because he had a tacit understanding with her? Xu Mingyi looked at the young man in front of him with a momentary emotion in his heart.
Then, she took out a neatly folded piece of letter paper from her sleeve.
"I didn't plan to go either, but he sent this letter to me early this morning."
As he spoke, he pressed the letter on the table with his slender fingers, pushed it to the middle of the table, and said, "So, I still want to go there in person."
Wu Chao unfolded the letter and read it, frowning quickly: "Maybe it's a trap, deliberately luring you there——"
The other party vaguely mentioned in the letter that the Zhenguo Guild was in danger, so he made an appointment with Zhao Zhao to meet tonight for a detailed discussion.
Xu Mingyi nodded: "Even if it's not a trap, there must be another purpose. But I still want to find out the truth about my grandfather's matters."
Seeing the look in Wu Chao's eyebrows, she promised: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
"I'm not worried-"
As the young man spoke, he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
