In this world, there are some people who are talented in certain aspects. The reason why their characteristics are called talents is because they can do things that ordinary people cannot.
The same thing, in the hands of people with different qualifications, often has completely different effects.
If Qiao Bing is really related to the incident involving Princess Qian Yan, it is inevitable that he will be silenced.
But if this person is a rare expert, it would be a pity to get rid of him just like that.
Especially after using the scale...
At this time, letting him fake death and disappear in front of others, while continuing to use him secretly, is obviously the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Mingyi's mind flashed again to the prescription he had seen in the Yangxin Hall.
If this Qiao Bingying is really still alive now, then this matter may not only be related to the incident of the former Princess Yan——
What she has been thinking about in recent days is that there may be a so-called "master" hiding around the emperor who threatens her grandfather. Even if he is not this person, he may be related to this person...
The reason why Wu Chao specifically mentioned this matter to her was obviously because he had thought of this possibility, but he did not say much at this time and only said: "I will find out about this matter as soon as possible."
Xu Mingyi nodded and asked him: "Does this Qiao Bingying have any descendants?"
"I have a wife and a son." Wu Chao said: "But the mother and son moved their family out of Beijing ten years ago. The son is over thirty but has not yet married. He has passed the imperial examination in his early years, but after that he has been
He failed the examination twice. Now he is working as a teacher in a private school in Fengming County outside Beijing."
The understanding is so detailed, it can be seen that the investigation has already started.
While Xu Mingyi listened attentively, she only vaguely felt that the situation of Qiao Bingying's son mentioned in Wu Chao's words seemed inexplicably familiar...
"In the past few days, I have roughly investigated the details of the Qiao family, but there is nothing worth mentioning. I plan to go there in person in two days."
"I'll go with you." Xu Mingyi said immediately, "Maybe I can help."
She also wanted to find out the matter as soon as possible.
Meeting those eyes, Wu Chao, who didn't want her to bother to get involved in this matter, nodded almost subconsciously.
When he came back to his senses, Xu Mingyi was already asking: "Why two days later? You are busy with other important things now?"
She is impatient, and Wu Chao has always been a person who will not delay once he thinks of something he wants to do.
Wu Chao has indeed been busy with other things recently, but it's not so important that he can't get away.
And the reason why I chose it two days later is because of another reason——
"Two days later, it will be the anniversary of Qiao Bingying's death." Wu Chao said: "According to previous customs, the Qiao family's mother and son will go to the tomb to offer sacrifices. I plan to go and have a look."
Death anniversary?
Xu Mingyi thought slightly and nodded slightly.
If Qiao Bing faked his death, his closest family members would probably have clues.
When paying homage in front of the tomb, there are indeed many things worth paying attention to...
"Let's go there together in the next two days." Xu Mingyi said, and suddenly added: "But Fengming County is still seventy or eighty miles away from the capital. If the Qiao family goes to pay homage during the day, we may not be able to make it in time, so it is better to go there one day earlier.
?It’s better to prepare early.”
Listening to her words, Wu Chao had no chance of saying no, so he said warmly: "Then we will leave tomorrow."
The two of them talked about other things.
While stopping to drink tea, Xu Mingyi looked at the young man sitting in front of him, holding a tea cup with one hand, and his every move was pleasing to the eye. Xu Mingyi suddenly thought of asking: "By the way, you have stayed in Beijing for a long time.
Well, the Queen Mother’s birthday has passed too long, so the Ningyang clan must be urging you to go back, right?”
On the surface, he is the grandson of King Dingnan, but in fact he is the only son of King Yan.
No matter what his identity is, the Wu family will definitely not trust him staying in Beijing for a long time.
King Xiang committed treason, and King Yan was assassinated when he left the capital. Although it was only blamed on the Purple Star Sect, the Purple Star Sect refused to take the blame for their enemies, so they drove out many works of art overnight.
It's time to stand up and start scolding the emperor...
Judging from the widespread spread of this matter, in the eyes of discerning people, the emperor obviously failed to shirk the blame this time, but was overturned by the Purple Star Sect with his persuasive words - a failure that could be blamed by all
The Grand Academy uses it as a negative teaching material to blame others and warn students.
All in all, with all the things happening together, the current situation in Beijing is not stable.
But Wu Chao never mentioned a word about returning to Ningyang.
"I know I have other important things to do, but I have never urged you." Wu Chao said without changing his expression.
That is to say, I receive a letter every few days.
"Other important matters?" Xu Mingyi was hesitant.
She didn't believe it.
Seriously... isn't it because of her?
However, there was no clue in his expression. He nodded and said, "It's a very important matter."
He had promised that the Guoguo Society would protect her.
And if you can't even stay by your side, you still talk so much about protection.
Although he knew the worries of his grandfather who was far away in Ningyang, he also had his own sense of proportion.
If the Duke of Zhen Guo does not return safely for a day, he cannot leave the capital for a day.
If it really came to the point where he had to leave, then he would definitely take her with him, and there was no way he would let her stay alone in this dangerous place.
But I can't say even a single word of these words.
Once he did, she would definitely drive him away.
This was just a small thing that he obeyed his own will and was willing to do. There was no need to say it to burden her.
Fearing that the girl in front of him would ask further questions, Wu Chao changed the subject in time: "The letter I ordered someone to send must have been in the hands of Divine Doctor Qiu by now. If the miracle doctor is willing to help, he will leave Ningyang today.
I think we can arrive at least five or six days later than Akui."
Ningyang is nearly eight or nine hundred miles away from Dongyuan City than the capital city.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
She believed that if the miracle doctor received the letter, he would definitely help.
…
The next day, Xu Mingyi went out early in the morning.
She used the excuse to go out of the city to offer incense. Her grandfather was away at war, so it was normal for a granddaughter to offer incense and pray for blessings.
But she also took it seriously. Ci Ling Temple outside the capital has always been very popular with incense.
However, after burning the incense, he did not return to the city, but quietly took Ah Zhu to Fengming County.
In order to prevent others from noticing something strange, Xu Mingyi left a clone in Ciling Temple to confuse his sight.
This "clone" was currently wearing an apricot-colored girl's skirt, with her hands on her knees, and she was sitting on a bench in the Zen room.
The maid Ah Li on the side couldn't help but look at him frequently.
In the past, she secretly felt that Uncle Yun Liu was born with slender bones and it would be a pity not to dress up as a man, but she didn't expect that she was actually lucky enough to see him today.
