Wishful Things

"Now the capital is not as stable as it used to be. 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 within three days, it will be even more difficult to find them." Wu Chao said while holding the teacup.

Xu Mingyi looked at the drizzle outside the window: "It's not a bad thing, childish and innocent."

They were indeed the ones who revealed what happened to King Xiang, but this did not prevent her from thinking that the child was innocent.

Especially in the current situation, what we see is that human lives are worthless. If there are innocent people who can survive in this turmoil, it is also a blessing.

But not every innocent person can have such good luck.

With the current situation like this, there are bound to be many people who will be affected and implicated, and sometimes it cannot be avoided by manpower.

But it doesn't stop there.

On the contrary, the more this is the case, the more we must move forward with determination - only those who can bear the burden of the world and move forward unswervingly can bring a new way out to the world, break the darkness and usher in the light of the sky.

The girl's line of sight seemed to be on the rain curtain in front of her, but she seemed to see something farther away through the rain curtain.

The summer rain is pleasant and comfortable.

Even if it is blown into the window obliquely by the wind, it is gentle and soft, refreshing and cool.

The girl's well-defined eyelashes were covered with some hazy rain and mist, which made her eyes clearer and brighter—Wu Chao, who had also observed the girl's mind at this time, felt in a daze that these eyes were the cleanest things he had ever seen in this world.

The cleanliness he thought of at this time was not like a blank sheet of paper that had never seen any darkness, injustice, bloody filth.

It is that even though she is in the dark, she still has gentleness and kindness in her heart, and she moves firmly towards the light.

People standing beside her can clearly see that there is light in her.

Sensing his gaze, Xu Mingyi turned his head slightly, and asked involuntarily, "What's wrong?"

Just when Wu Chao was about to say something, he suddenly heard a cry from Tianmu on the side.

Big Bird was sitting in the chair next to him, and at this time, for some reason, he fell over in the chair, raised one wing, exposing his bulging belly, and uttered a cry that seemed to be urging.

Wu Chao was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Can't you just show off to him that your stomach is bulging enough?

Xu Mingyi looked over and said with a smile, "It should mean to let you tickle it."

"...?" Wu Chao frowned.

This bird not only wants to be a human, but also wants to be a master.

Seeing that he didn't move, Tianmu jumped off the chair and walked towards the hostess opposite, with a grumbling sound, combined with the dissatisfied back, it seemed to be expressing the mood of "the host who can't even scratch an itch has something to miss".

Seeing the girl bending over to tickle Big Bird, Wu Chao's mood was very complicated.

Sure enough, the child is too arrogant, which is the habit of the elders.

Seeing this scene somewhat displeasing to the eye, the young man talked about the business: "Yesterday I learned some inside information about the death of King Xiang."

Xu Mingyi raised his head when he heard the words, "Inside story?"

"My aunt has an inner eunuch who serves as an eyeliner. He has just been transferred to work in the imperial study recently. He was also present on the day when the king of Xiang had an accident." Wu Chao said, "Although he was guarding outside the palace, he heard some movement and saw some clues—the king of Xiang probably died at the hands of the emperor."

Xu Mingyi was slightly taken aback.

Now everyone knows that the king of Xiang was killed by the guards on the spot because he wanted to harm the emperor - if this is the case, the emperor must have been protected by the whole group, how can he get close to the king of 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 Emperor Dog's narrow and sinister virtues, if he hated a person so much, it would be impossible for him to die so easily.

"Could it be because he doesn't want King Xiang to have the chance to speak again?" Xu Mingyi looked at Wu Chao and asked guessing.

"It is 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 was slightly lower: "Perhaps, it has something to do with what happened eighteen years ago——"

eighteen years ago...

Xu Mingyi nodded slowly.

From the conversation between His Royal Highness King Yan and Uncle Wu last time, we can see that there seemed to be a lot of strange things in Beijing eighteen years ago.

However, there are fewer and fewer people who may know the truth back then.

She thought that the Wu family and the King of Yan must have never stopped looking for the truth over the years, but everything that happened back then happened in the capital, in the palace—but under the emperor's feet, everything was under the emperor's control. After being intentionally erased, it is not easy to find out thoroughly.

But that was in the past—

In today's capital, the emperor may not be able to firmly control everything.

"Don't worry, I believe everything will come to light soon." Xu Mingyi said.

Whether it's the real cause of his biological mother's death, or something else—this time is different from the previous life, with so many people standing together early, the process and result are destined to be different.

The two talked about other things, and seeing the sky outside the window gradually darkening, Xu Mingyi said: "It's about time, I should go."

Wu Chao faintly heard the voice behind the words: "Aren't you going back to the house?"

It seems that there is something to do.

"Going to see someone."

No--

To be precise, to kill.

Looking at the girl's slightly cold eyes, Wu Chao made a guess: "Zhan Yunzhu?"

Xu Mingyi nodded.

Wu Chao looked at her and said, "You don't need to go to this matter—"

Just let the people under him clean up.

He seemed to be able to guess her thoughts without her needing to say anything more. Is it because he is smart enough, or does it mean that he has a good understanding with her? Looking at the young man in front of him, Xu Mingyi felt a moment of emotion in his heart.

Then, she took out a neatly folded letter paper from her sleeve.

"I didn't plan to go, but he sent me this letter early this morning."

While speaking, the slender fingers pressed the letter paper on the table, pushed it to the middle of the table, and said, "So, I still want to go there myself."

Wu Chao unfolded the letter paper and frowned very quickly: "Maybe it's a trap, deliberately leading you to—"

The other party implicitly mentioned in the letter that the Zhen Guo Guild would be in danger, so he asked Zhao Zhao to meet tonight and talk in detail.

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 the matter related to my grandfather."

Seeing the look in Wu Chao's eyebrows, she promised, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

"I'm worried--"

While the boy was talking, he stood up: "Let's go, I'll go there with you."

Thank you for your monthly pass, and thank you Qinghan for your reward.

(Goodnight everybody)
