Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 254 Uneasy

In a village on the outskirts of Qinjing, an antique house is shrouded in the morning light.

"Xie Xi really left Qin Jing?"

An old voice came from the study room of the house. His voice clearly had a Beijing accent and was very loud in the early morning sunshine.

"Yes, the younger one has been sending people to follow them and saw them on the official road to the capital with his own eyes."

If Xie Xi was here, he would be able to recognize that the person who answered was Su Bingchang, the shopkeeper of Wanyou Trading Company.

"This time, I think Han Jizhi was also frightened a lot. Our people wrote back and said that the Governor's Yamen and the Governor's Yamen also sent people to follow closely. It seems that the fire last night frightened them badly."

Opposite Su Bingchang was an old man with gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face, like mottled tree bark.

He was holding a thin brush in his hand and was painting at his desk.

The rice paper on the table clearly showed the mountains. On the steep mountain road, a scholar in ragged clothes was looking into the distance.

The old man didn't answer, but kept painting on the paper. After a quarter of an hour, he stopped writing, pointed at the painting and said to Su Bingchang: "Xiao Su, come and take a look, what do you think of my painting?"

"Miss, why did you get up so early?"

Because Yang Xingyao had promised the emperor when he was given a marriage, he had been staying in the Dian Prince's Mansion in the capital.

Concern leads to chaos, and it seems that her heart cannot settle down. In this case, instead of making random guesses at home, it is better to go find someone for advice.

Chen Yuqi is usually carefree, but after getting engaged to Yang Xingyao, the two occasionally got along a few times, and Chen Yuqi gradually regained the bossy feeling she had when she was a child.

Su Bingchang looked troubled and said awkwardly: "Master, you also know that I am a commoner. I only know how to do business, but I don't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Early in the morning, Lin Zisu felt her eyelids twitching violently, so she simply got up and tidied up.

The old man straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Tell the people who are leaving that I will not treat their families badly and let them do it with peace of mind. Especially, they cannot be captured alive by others."

Lin Zisu allowed Hu Huo to dress her up and casually asked, "Go to the concierge later to see if there is any letter sent from Prince Dun's Mansion."

The old man raised his head and looked out the window. The sky was filled with morning glow in the east, turning half of the sky red, as if the fire last night had reached the sky.

Amber showed a clear smile on her face, and then said: "Miss, you have been urging me for several days. Do you miss me?"

Yang Xingyao smiled and shook his head, but he told Lv Ying, who had been waiting for him for a long time: "Lv Ying, you take the two ladies to change first."

At first, Lin Zisu didn't take Xie Xi's letter seriously. The two were not married yet, and she couldn't be like the resentful woman in the novel, looking forward to her husband's return every day.

The Prince of Dian's Palace said to the outside world that he was recuperating from illness, but according to speculations from the government and the public, the emperor was afraid of the power of the Prince of Dian's Palace and forced him to stay in the capital as a hostage by granting him a marriage.

Because it had been raining for the past two days, Chen Yuqi was bored at home. When she heard about Lin Zisu's intention, she immediately made arrangements to go out anxiously.

Lin Zisu seemed not to have heard anything, and casually took out an jade flower from the dowry, put it in her hand and played with it, but her mood was ups and downs.

"Since I sent them out, I didn't think about letting them come back. It's just a play. You have to perform the play well so that there are no flaws."

Su Bingchang nodded and replied: "This little one will definitely explain it. I wonder if the master has any other instructions?"

Thousands of miles away in the capital, it has been raining heavily all day and night. The raindrops pattered on the tiles, making people upset.

When the two of them saw Yang Xingyao, it was just past midnight. The heavy rain outside had not stopped, but the sound of the rain did not suppress Chen Yuqi's voice at all.

Lin Zisu naturally came to see Chen Yuqi. After all, Chen Yuqi and Yang Xingyao had made a marriage arrangement, so it was more legitimate for her to take him to see Yang Xingyao.

Only then did Lin Zisu realize that due to her hurry, when she arrived at the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion, her left shoulder was already heavily wet.

The mountains in the painting are majestic, but the clouds and fog make it difficult to see the mountain road in the distance. The scholar in the painting is thin and looks up to the mountains with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, Su Su has something to ask you, a dog-headed military advisor, and you have to tell me everything!"

The old man smiled and said: "I was just happy and forgot about this. If you don't want to answer, I won't force you."

In fact, the real reason is very simple. Yang Xingyao is waiting for the wedding day. When he marries Chen Yuqi into the Dian Prince's Palace, he will have many ways to return to Dianzhou based on his calculations.

"My servant went over there early in the morning to have a look. The concierge said that Mr. Feng has not been seen delivering a letter in the past few days."

"Master, do you want to recall the killers we sent?"

In Amber's impression, her young lady slept late on weekdays, and her wife connived at her. If nothing happened, she would always get up just before midnight.

But suddenly there was no news from Xie Xi, and something seemed to be missing. Lin Zisu had been feeling uneasy for the past two days, as if there was something dangling in front of her eyes.

Lin Zisu got up before midnight today, which surprised Amber who was waiting outside the door.

The two of them changed their clothes as instructed and returned to the flower hall where they had just sat down.

In order to show courtesy, Lin Zisu sent Lv Ying to report to the Dian Prince's Mansion in the capital, but he took a detour to the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion.

"It's going to rain. The emperor in the capital is really powerful. He has endured it for so many years. Let's see if he can endure it this time."

After the old man finished speaking, he picked up his pen and added a few more details to the painting. Suddenly he remembered something and stopped writing: "Send some more people to keep an eye on Xie Xi and protect him if necessary. We must let him return to the capital safely."

Chen Yuqi just ran over and stepped in several puddles, leaving her skirt covered with mud and water.

Knowing that Xie Xi was here to serve the emperor's will, there would never be any serious problems, but Lin Zisu was a little worried after all the sudden lack of news.

Since Xie Xi left Beijing, a letter was sent every two days to report that he was safe. However, after receiving the third letter, Xie Xi's letter was never seen again.

She didn't know many people she knew well in this life, and the only one who could give him advice on this was Yang Xingyao, the eldest son of the Dian Palace.

Yang Xingyao then said to Lin Zisu: "Miss Lin, you are also a rare guest. This is your first time in my house, right? Unfortunately, the weather today is not a good day. Let's drink a cup of ginger tea to warm up.

Bar."

Only then did Lin Zisu notice that there were two cups of steaming ginger tea placed on the small table next to her. It must have been prepared when the two of them changed clothes.

Seeing how meticulous Yang Xingyao was, Lin Zisu suppressed her worries and said to Chen Yuqi with a smile: "Aqi, Prince Yang is so considerate. It seems that you will be a blessed person in the future."

Chen Yuqi curled her lips and said, "Su Su, after all, you are also my mother-in-law. How come I bought you off with a cup of ginger tea?"
