281. The Old Man Who Practices Taoism (12)

Before Mrs. Wei could speak, tears fell all over her face. She looked at her husband expectantly, "Master, Yan Niang..."

Master Wei came back to his senses. He put down his hand that was touching his neck and opened his mouth to say, "She..."

The old man beside him interrupted lightly, "To make a long story short."

Master Wei choked and had to swallow everything he wanted to say just now. He only said the key points, "She wanted to take another look at Princess Liang."

Mrs. Wei was stunned, "Princess Liang?"

"Didn't Yan Niang die on the road? How could she know Princess Liang?"

Master Wei hurriedly wanted to explain, but Wei Mingyan walked past him and stepped on him accidentally.

He frowned in pain and looked at his father's back with grievance. When he was about to continue talking to his wife, he suddenly realized that his wife and her sister had such a good relationship. If he told the truth directly, knowing that the sister called Yan Niang had suffered so much, she must feel very uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Master Wei subconsciously looked up at his father and saw him looking at him with a faint expression. He was unsure and asked Madam Wei, "Madam, in your memory, when did Yan Niang die?" Madam Wei wiped her tears and choked up, "On the way to the exile with my third uncle, that is, her father, we encountered bandits..." "Yes, we encountered bandits, and then Yan Niang was separated from her parents and was rescued by the passing Princess Liang." As he spoke, Master Wei carefully looked at his father's face. Seeing that he rarely smiled, he was sure in his heart, and the next words were naturally much easier to say. "After that, Yanniang has been growing up beside Princess Liang. Because she was too young, she couldn't remember what happened in the palace, so she couldn't find her family. She was with the princess, nominally a maid, but actually raised as a daughter. After that..."

Master Wei had never lied before, and at this moment he looked flustered. Fortunately, Madam Wei had long been distracted by the news about her sister, and didn't notice anything wrong with her husband at all, just looking at him with expectant eyes.

"After that, she got sick, and then, she came to find me." Master Wei's lie was stumbling, but Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and tears kept falling.

She sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I thought Yanniang had suffered so much that she lingered like this, but it turns out that she missed me."

"No, no, she didn't suffer." Master Wei originally felt a little guilty for hiding the truth, but now seeing Madam crying and laughing, that little bit of guilt had long been thrown out of his mind.

If the lady knew that her beloved sister died so tragically, she would be very sad.

Wei Mingyan came over at this time and said to Madam Wei in a gentle voice, "Go and prepare some rice, rice wine, and clear sand, and ask a few servants to accompany you to the Dongche Lake in the western suburbs to get a bowl of water yourself. Come back when everything is ready."

Madam Wei was confused by this series of instructions, but under that confusion, there was expectation, "Father..."

The old man nodded, confirming his daughter-in-law's guess, "You get these things, and I'll let you meet."

Madam Wei almost cried with joy, "Yes, yes, your daughter-in-law will go now, thank you father."

She bowed and hurriedly left the yard.

Master Wei, who didn't even look at his wife, said, "Husband, Madam, do you want me to accompany you..."

"You don't want to go."

The old man looked at his son with disdain, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Master Wei stopped aggrievedly and said, "Princess Liang was imprisoned in the palace. Yan Niang was thrown to a place to use her as a daughter's incense because she knew that Prince Liang intended to rebel and was unwilling to follow the prince of Liang. However, Yan Niang was weak and died before she could hold on for long."

"She wanted to see Princess Liang again."

"Father, you see..."

"I won't see it."

Master Wei was stunned. He looked at his father who was still so calm and calm, "Father, what should we do now? Please give us a plan."

"I won't give it to you."

Wei Mingyan shook his sleeves, his face full of indifference, "Since the matter is clear, let's rest early today."

Master Wei couldn't believe that his father could act as if nothing had happened.

"But, but the intention of the King of Liang to rebel is a big deal, are we just pretending that we don't know?"

As soon as the words fell, he was ruthlessly glanced at.

"If you want to intervene, go out now, turn left and keep going forward."

"Me? But, father, father..."

- Bang!

The door was closed.

Master Wei stood stiffly, his hand still stretched out. Suddenly, he thought of Yan Niang still in the yard, and he felt a chill on his back. Even if he knew that Yan Niang had a pitiful life experience, she was still a ghost after all.

He quickly withdrew his hand, looked around vigilantly, and carefully and cautiously left the yard.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "Don't follow me, don't follow me, just stay in father's yard."

Master Wei left the yard, thought about it and went out, and happened to meet Mrs. Wei's carriage leaving in a hurry. He looked at it, turned left and walked straight. In the carriage, Madam Wei lifted the curtain from time to time to look outside with an anxious expression, while Yan Niang on the side sat obediently, with her head resting on her sister's shoulder, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Master Wei was still walking on the road. He looked around suspiciously from time to time. The image of Yan Niang hanging on his neck in his memory was so shocking that he couldn't help but touch his neck.

After thinking about it, he still spoke carefully, "Yan Niang, if you were here, don't follow me..."

"You are awake and know that I am not an enemy. Even if you want to follow me, don't hang on my neck. It's uncomfortable. Be good, brother-in-law will burn paper money for you."

Master Wei walked to the street, trembling all the way to persuade his sister-in-law not to hang on his neck.

Looking around, he always felt that this street was a little familiar.

When Master Wei was wondering when he had been here, suddenly there was a sound of weapons coming out, and the crowd in front of him scattered and fled for their lives. A young man in gorgeous clothes was protected by two people and retreated, running towards him.

This scene seemed familiar.

The person who was being chased in front was also very familiar.

At this moment, Master Wei only had time to think: Your Majesty, you were assassinated last time, why are you still out this time!!

He didn't bring anything this time, and that group of people didn't look as easy to deal with as last time.

Master Wei looked around, and when the emperor ran to his side, he gritted his teeth...

He pulled him and ran.

As he ran, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

A fragrance wafted from the emperor he was pulling, the fragrance was elegant, with a faint orchid fragrance.

Haha, this smell is also very familiar.

So, assassinating the emperor is not the goal, but taking advantage of the chaos to let the emperor get the daughter's fragrance is the goal?

Master Wei's mind was full of what his father said, that people who are infected with the daughter's fragrance will obey the first woman who touches them... The other party arranged the daughter's fragrance, so the first woman who touches the emperor will definitely be arranged...

Just when I thought of this, a veiled woman fell on the road ahead, supporting herself, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked over with tears.

It looked pitiful that she had sprained her ankle and couldn't walk, but compared with the scene of the vegetable seller beside her who also sprained her ankle but was terrified and crawling forward to escape...

What should he do? What should he do? Should he go up and kick the woman away?

While he was struggling, the emperor, who had been running and panting, had his legs softened and fell to the ground.

Before Master Wei could help, a trembling kitten was knocked out of the basket beside it and fell into the emperor's palm.

"Meow..."

The little kitten cried anxiously and shrank and dared not move.

Master Wei didn't care about it and helped the emperor up. Just as he was about to say, "Your Majesty, let's run quickly," he saw the emperor, who was running with him just now, holding the little kitten and touching its head with his eyes full of love.

"This cat is really handsome."

"I want to take it back to the palace with me and let it enjoy all the glory and wealth!"

Master Wei: "...Your Majesty?"

We are running for our lives!

Suddenly thinking of something, he turned around with a shocked look and looked under the kitten's tail.

It's over.

No eggs...
