In the carriage, Piper opened the painting in his hand, exposed it in front of Ashton, and said softly, “Can you see anything from this painting?”
Seeing Piper asking such a serious question, Ashton also corrected his attitude, focusing on the painting.
After a long time, there was a slight strangeness in his eyes, “You mean Cao Bingrong?”
The following words were not said, but Piper knew what he was going to say, and simply nodded, “I’m not sure, just a little skeptical.”
After all, when she was in the royal dining room, she felt that Cao Bingrong was suspicious.
Ashton frowned further. After a long time, he said, “These things have nothing to do with us.”
Piper shook his head. If he hadn’t had a previous life, Piper would feel that the trouble caused by the Emperor Jin had nothing to do with him, but who would let that woman be the teacher who taught him.
In the previous life, if Liu Chan hadn’t taught herself, she would have been a woman who could only order cooking skills that she couldn’t get her hands on.
What’s more, the relationship with Liu Chan’s mentor and apprentice was the most concerned thing in Piper’s previous life. Liu Chan died and she failed to visit. In this life, she would never let this happen, “I want to save her. .”
Ashton frowned, “Give me a reason.”
“Liu Chan is my master,” Piper lowered her brows when she finished speaking. In this life, Liu Chan did not accept her as a disciple.
Ashton frowned slightly, and then said, “I will send someone to find her whereabouts.”
Piper breathed a sigh of relief when Ashton agreed, and a faint smile appeared on her face, “Thank you.” Now, in the capital, Piper’s people are not as strong as Ashton’s. You Jin’s people come forward to save a lot of trouble.
“With me, don’t say thank you,” Ashton’s voice was low, with a hint of forbearance.
Just when Piper was about to speak, he saw a homing pigeon drop by the carriage window.
Ashton has quickly picked up the carrier pigeon, removed a small bamboo joint from the carrier pigeon’s feet, opened the mechanism inside the small bamboo joint, and took out a piece of letter paper. Ashton frowned when he saw what was written on the letter paper. For a moment.
When Piper saw this, he knew that it must be bad news. Even if he leaned forward, he saw a few big characters clearly written on the letter paper, “Wesley has returned to China.”
Although I had thought about it a long time ago, I didn’t expect all of this to be true, and the truth came so quickly.
Ashton already squeezed Piper’s hand, and said softly, “This is the end of the matter, and it’s useless to worry. We can just speed up and transfer people.”
Piper nodded, now, there is no better way.
The two quickly returned to Yunfu in a horse-drawn carriage. They talked to Bennett and Master Yun Er about what happened in the palace today, and they also formulated a plan. Tomorrow the two masters of Yun Er and the two young masters in Er Fang First transfer and leave, and after seeing off for a few people, they will send Yu and Min sisters, Lu and Han brothers, and Yuan and Sun out of the secret road. They will be escorted by people from Shifang Palace. Bennett left the capital on the third day by inspecting shops. To attract people’s attention tomorrow, Bennett will first patrol shops in the capital.
And Piper and Ashton will leave after everyone has left.
After drawing up this plan, everyone calmed down, and tonight, Ashton would let the people of Shifang Palace transfer all the precious things of the Yun family first through the secret path.
Of course, it was also on this day that Piper sent people to monitor Sun and Yuan.
Piper didn’t dare to take it lightly because these two had cooperated with the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion in order to avoid problems.
Although Piper didn’t want to bring Yuan and Sun with him this time, no matter how emotional, Piper didn’t want to express his true thoughts in front of Bennett, embarrassing Bennett.
In the afternoon, the imperial decree of Emperor Jin to appoint Master Yun Er as the imperial envoy for this disaster relief came down.
When he saw the imperial edict, Piper’s heart that had been holding it finally calmed down.
No dream for a night.
Early the next morning, Piper woke up early, freshened up, and hurried to the front yard, and had breakfast with the Yun family.
However, at this meeting, everyone’s face was filled with excitement, causing Piper to frown. With such emotions, if you go out, I am afraid that the discerning person will definitely notice the problem.
Piper glanced over everyone’s faces one by one, and said loudly, “Don’t think about anything now, just remember, if someone notices the clue, it won’t be good,” I don’t know why, Piper The two pairs of eyelids have been beating non-stop, and as the eyelids jumped more and more violently, the panic in Piper’s heart became bigger and bigger.
She always feels that something big will happen today.
Ashton sensed Piper’s nervousness, and kept holding Piper’s hand tightly, silently conveying his support.
There was a trace of shame on Lu and Yu’s faces, mainly because the atmosphere today is too tense.
Master Yun Er also said softly, “You all relax a little, I’m going to the court.”
Today, because it was for Master Yun Er, they had eaten breakfast before it was light.
After Master Yun Er left, Piper also got bad news.
It has been a month since Liu Chan was arrested by the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion. However, he was kept outside and never brought back to the Third Prince’s Mansion. If it weren’t for the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion to transfer Liu Chan into the Third Prince’s Mansion today, They also couldn’t find out Liu Chan’s whereabouts.
Piper’s brows were frowning tightly. She was certain that Xiao Yuqi deliberately let her know that Liu Chan was not dead yet. In their hands, what made Piper puzzled was that Xiao Yuqi wanted doing what?
Piper tried his best to calm herself down. He didn’t want to drive other people with her emotions and was in a bad mood. He said to Lu and others, “Mother, you have a rest first, and I will go back to rest for a while. After an hour and a half, let’s be together. Go to see off your second uncle.”
“Okay, you go back and rest soon,” Lu and the others were also a little worried as Piper looked absent-minded.
Piper and Ashton went back to the yard together, but Piper’s eyelids were still beating, and the panic in her heart became heavier and heavier, “Ashton, why did you say Xiao Yuqi deliberately told us about Liu Chan’s whereabouts?”
Ashton may also be a little bit, he frowned, “How many people know about the relationship between you and Liu Chan?”
Piper shook his head, “No one knows,” because no one knew, Piper became more suspicious.
Piper took out the painting again, opened it carefully, and studied it. The painting was indeed painted by Liu Chan himself. At the place where Liu Chan signed his signature, Piper found the words Qingfengjushi.
Piper was a little irritable and drank a glass of water, only to feel that the mystery in her heart seemed to be solved, and it seemed that it was not solved at all.
“For some things, the boat will be straight at the end of the bridge. It is useless to worry. You should take a good rest first.” Ashton frowned as he saw Piper’s irritability.
Piper said, she is very tired now, but she is not sleepy. Thinking of moving everyone in the Yun family away tonight, Piper has to lie on the bed, just hoping to refresh herself.
Ashton was lying on the bed in Piper, staring at the bed net with scorching eyes. After a long time, he did not look back. A strange emotion flashed in his deep eyes. Then he walked to the incense burner and put a little soothing powder in. After a while, I saw Piper slowly fall asleep, and then he was relieved and put out the incense burner.
Too much soothing fragrance is not good, so Ashton will put it out.
After writing a letter, handing it to a man in black to take it away, Ashton lay down beside Piper together.
An hour and a half later, Piper and Ashton woke up, and the two of them washed up and walked towards the front yard. Only after a short time, they saw the housekeeper Li walking quickly and walked to Piper’s side. , Greeted Piper’s respectful salute, and then said, “Grandma Sigu, I have your letter.”
Piper accepted the letter, but a faint doubt arose in her heart. He lowered his head and saw the word Piper on the envelope. There was a sense of perseverance and satisfaction in Xiu Mei, and he recognized this as a woman. Written.
Opening the letter quickly, Piper frowned and tightened.
Ashton also saw the abbreviated content in the letter, “What is Xiao Yuqi’s invitation to do?”
Piper didn’t know what Xiao Yuqi would do to entertain herself at this time, but there is no good thing. “First press down the letter, butler Li, you send someone to the Third Prince’s Mansion and say that I’m sick. Last night When I came back, I fell ill, and I will visit the Third Prince’s Mansion in a few days.”
Butler Li immediately responded, “Yes.” Now it’s troubled, so Butler Li is also very careful in doing things.
Seeing steward Li leaving, Piper and Ashton went to the front yard together to see Master Yun Er and his third and fourth brothers off.
Seeing these three people leave the house, Piper finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they can leave the city, someone will replace them. Of course, Piper also kept people staring at Master Yun Er. Come back if you have any news.
When Piper breathed a sigh of relief, Ashton received a carrier pigeon again. When he saw the words written on the carrier pigeon, Piper’s expression became even more embarrassed, “Is Wesley only a few miles away from the capital?”
She didn’t expect Wesley to come back so soon.
As soon as Ashton grasped Piper’s hand tightly, he said softly, “Don’t worry, he hasn’t made progress yet, we still have a chance. I will let someone guard at the gate of the city to delay his entry into the capital.”
Piper nodded, Ashton had already ordered Bennett to continue to inspect the shop as planned, but this time, Ashton provided Bennett with two Shifang Palace people to guard him.
Piper and Ashton and others returned to the house together. They just entered the main courtyard and sat down. Before they finished drinking a cup of tea, they saw the housekeeper Li coming in embarrassed, “Madam, second madam, grandma fourth aunt, grandpa fourth, Emperor Jin I’m sorry.”
