Wishful Things

That was the peace amulet he always carried with him.

Xu Mingyi worried about him because of the death he would encounter in her dream, prayed for a talisman for him, and came all the way to Ningyang—every time he thought of these, joy and warmth would arise in his heart.

But thinking about it now, the "death" in her dream might not be his real death—just like the mysterious murder he encountered on his way to Beijing half a year ago.

In that plan, someone might have died in his stead.

But in this way, "Wu Chao" would really die in the eyes of the world.

Where is the real him going?

If all of this is really arranged by grandfather, what kind of thinking is behind it?

What kind of plan is it necessary to make him, the grandson of the Wu family, disappear completely?

If it was really his grandfather's handwriting, he felt unthinkable.

I can't figure it out anyway, and it's useless to think about it now.

Now that he has found this place, it is already very difficult to search further. Under such circumstances, he will not and cannot choose to continue pretending to be ignorant, and let the situation ferment again without his knowledge——

So, tomorrow he will go to see his grandfather, no matter what, he has to ask his grandfather in person.

But at this moment, he has other things to do——

He wanted to see Xu Mingyi.

The boy clenched the peace talisman in his hand and sat up.

Hearing the movement in the inner room, Ah Yuan hurried in and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you going out again?"

Wu Chao let out a "hmm" while getting dressed.

Ah Yuan took a look at the robes her young master was wearing.

It's not Mo Yi, it doesn't look like he's going to secretly investigate something.

Then, there is only one possibility——

The young master is going to go out for breakfast again in the middle of the night.

Ah Yuan, who understood this and was used to it, didn't ask any more questions, but silently watched his young master leave the yard.

Wu Chao rode to the Yinxian Building alone.

The lights in the entire building have been turned off, only a few lanterns hanging outside the building are still quietly lit.

The young man got off his horse and looked towards the familiar window.

She must have fallen asleep already.

He didn't come here this time to disturb her sleep. The so-called coming to see her - a one-sided meeting is still a meeting, even if you can't see anyone, it's still a meeting.

Standing here, just looking at the closed window already made him feel much more at ease in his heart.

In a guest room on the second floor, Zhu Xiu heard the movement and was looking downstairs through the cracks in the window lattice.

Seeing this familiar scene, Zhu Xiu couldn't help frowning.

It's okay to do this normally, but today his girl is not here at all.

Not to mention the cold, but also looked lonely.

But he won't talk too much to remind - after all, it's not easy for outsiders to expose such things between young men and women. Usually he pretended not to know, but now if he suddenly appeared, it would only cause embarrassment for both parties.

Besides, Sui Jiang knew that his girl was not in the city, so didn't he know to mention it? ——It doesn't matter, whoever's master who doesn't worry about it will take care of himself.

As for whether the conscience will hurt?

Anyway, when Wu Shisun came over in the past, he just stared at the window, and there was no difference in essence.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiu lay back to sleep with peace of mind.

Wu Chao, who knew nothing about it, stood there for half an hour before leaving.

The sky gradually brightened.

After Wu Chao finished his breakfast, he went to Dingnan King's courtyard to pay his respects.

"Grandson sends greetings to grandparents."

The young man was dressed in a moon-white robe, which made his already clear and indifferent facial features even more dusty.

Princess Dingnan, who has white hair in a bun, has a kind smile in her eyes: "Sit down quickly. A few days ago, I always wanted to send someone to call you over. I only heard that you are so busy that you can't see anyone all day long. Are you free today?"

"It is true that I have just finished the work in hand for the past two days." The young man said in a respectful tone, "Is grandma feeling better these days?"

"It's much better." Princess Dingnan looked at her grandson in front of her, and said with a smile: "Since you came back, grandma's heart is at ease, and her body is getting better day by day."

That place like a devil's den in the capital is not where her Ah Yuan should go.

If possible, she only wants Ah Yuan to stay in Ningyang for the rest of his life, by her side, safe and sound.

In her opinion, safety is the most important thing for people to live.

But the prince always said that the peace she said was too unrealistic and not long enough...

"I heard that a genius doctor came from outside the city, and my grandson is planning to invite her to take another look at my grandmother." Wu Chao said, "Although it has improved, if there is a better way to take care of her, it would be great."

Princess Dingnan didn't care about this, and said with a noncommittal smile, "Grandmother knows that you have always been the most filial."

Afterwards, Princess Dingnan had some homely conversations with her grandson.

Wu Jun, who was drinking tea and listening to the side, said to his wife, "It's unusually warm outside today. Didn't the doctor tell you last time that you need to move around more?"

"yes."

Princess Dingnan nodded with a smile, glanced at the warm sunlight outside the hall, then raised an arm.

Seeing this, the servant girl stepped forward to help him up.

"Then you two, grandpa and grandson, talk, and I'll go out for a while."

Seeing his wife leave, Dingnan Wangping withdrew the servants in the hall, and said something serious to his grandson.

Wu Chao listened carefully as usual, expressing his own opinions from time to time.

After finishing talking about the business, he said just now: "Actually, my grandson is here today, and I have another important matter. I want to ask my grandfather."

Have something else to do?

Wu Jun looked at the boy who spoke.

He didn't realize just now that his grandson still came with something on his mind this time.

Duan Jian saw that when he was talking to his grandmother just now, he didn't show any signs of anxiety or distraction—he still remembered that this child, in the past, was the most unable to hide his thoughts in front of his grandfather.

He has indeed grown up, and has become more and more calm.

Even when facing him, it was no exception.

"What do you want to ask?"

Couldn't it be about marrying a daughter-in-law again?

He thought about it afterwards, and the more he thought about it, the worse he felt...

The grandson I have worked so hard to raise is actually fascinated by the granddaughter of the old man's family. If the old man knows about this, I'm afraid I don't know how to be proud... I'm afraid the dog's tail will go up to the sky, right?

Because he has been brooding over this matter for the past few days, the old man naturally thought of it at this time.

But what Wu Chao wanted to talk about was not this matter.

"What my grandson wants to ask is whether the assassination of my grandson on the way to Beijing was arranged by my grandfather—"

Teenagers are always straightforward in their actions and speeches, and this time is no exception.

Hearing these words suddenly, Wu Jun's expression changed slightly.

Inside the tea bowl, the golden tea soup is still slowly steaming. The atmosphere that was originally leisurely and as usual has froze and cooled down in an instant.

(I'm sorry for the late update, because these two chapters have been revised word by word and sentence by sentence. The more difficult the plot is, the harder it is to write, and this kind of plot may not be liked by everyone, but it must be written seriously~

The second chapter will be released soon after revision.
