Chapter 786 - 787To be able to carve such exquisite patterns on a gourd the size of a thumb was already an extremely impressive feat.
But upon closer inspection, this small gourd seemed to be carved with a person and a woman!
This woman …
Han Yue looked at it, and immediately frowned, and then held onto the bottle gourd even more tightly.
"Go chase them!" Han Yue ordered.
In the small courtyard, Wei Yuanwei"s room was still lit.
Su"er had fallen asleep in Wei Yuanwei"s arms!
Han Yue hesitated. It was so late, he really couldn"t go in.
Wei Yuanwei saw the person who was hesitating at the door, and said: "Come in!"
Han Yue pushed the door and entered. After taking a look at Wei Yuanwei lying on the bed, she immediately lowered her gaze. Entering a woman"s room in the middle of the night was extremely inappropriate, and it made Han Yue"s expression even more unnatural.
When Han Yue placed the small bottle gourd in his hand in front of Wei Yuanwei"s eyes, Wei Yuanwei"s clear eyes instantly shone with a strange light.
He grabbed the small gourd and started scrutinizing it.
"Where did this come from?" Wei Yuanwei asked somewhat eagerly.
The little gourd, the little gourd that Ning Zheyan had given her was exactly the same, but the only difference was the patterns that were carved on the little gourd.
If one looked closely, the person engraved on the small gourd seemed to be himself.
Most importantly, this was the first time she saw Ning Zheyan. He was only sixteen years old then!
She still vaguely remembered the scene at the small island below her where Ning Zheyan had proudly said that he wanted to marry her …
"He was left alone at the door, wearing a red robe. Then he left! Your subordinate has already sent people to look for him! "
Wei Yuanwei tightly held onto the small bottle gourd, and said that it was impossible.
Ning Zheyan was dead, dead.
It had been five years since he died. Even if he hadn"t died five years ago, the blood elixir in his body still wouldn"t be enough to keep him alive for more than five years.
That person was only pretending to be Ning Zheyan.
It was all the work of the man who had betrayed her.
He wanted her to be in a state of confusion so that she wouldn"t be able to guess the other party"s intentions. That must be it!
Wei Yuanwei held the bottle gourd tightly in her hand, as if she wanted to shatter it.
"Is Mu Jin awake?" Wei Yuanwei suddenly asked.
"The Young Lord is still awake!" Han Yue replied with a serious face.
"Remember to feed the Young Lord some water at regular times!" Wei Yuanwei thought for a while and said.
"Yes, then you can rest. This subordinate will go out first!"
Wei Yuanwei closed her eyes. The entire night had nearly made it difficult for him to sleep.
Honestly speaking, she did not know whether Ning Zheyan had died or not. When she was still young Su"er, she had only seen Ning Zheyan giving her blood transfusions, but after waking up, she had not seen a single trace of Ning Zheyan.
Regarding the news of Ning Zheyan"s death, all of them came from the people around him.
Even when Ning Zheyan was at her funeral, she hadn"t come out because of his weak body, so he didn"t partic.i.p.ate.
Although she would visit Ning Zheyan"s grave every year to worship him, how would she know if the person lying under the tombstone was Ning Zheyan?
In the palace, Mu Zhi, who was in the midst of handling memorials on his desk, immediately pushed the stack of memorials on his desk forward and angrily said, "Prince An sure has guts. The border towns were robbed by the animal husbandry clan, and he actually did not send any troops to suppress them, and even found all kinds of reasons.
A few days ago, he had dealt with a part of the spies planted in the palace as a.s.sa.s.sins, but who knew that just a few days ago, Prince An would intentionally make things difficult for him.
They said that the animal husbandry people were all nomads with excellent skills, and when they sent their men over, the nomadic people had already s.n.a.t.c.hed their things and went after them. The other herdsmen took advantage of the situation to attack them from the east and attack them from the west, which meant that the troops at the border were simply insufficient.
This is pure bulls.h.i.t. When there was no such thing as an a.s.sa.s.sin, didn"t they manage it well?
"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty. After all, the Prince An has been on the battlefield for many years, and they have heavy soldiers in their hands. In terms of politics, the Emperor is a young genius, but in military matters, the Emperor has never gone to the battlefield, and even more so, does not know how to arrange troops!" Fu Lu worriedly advised from the side.
The more Mu Zhi thought about it, the more agitated he became, but so what? Although he was familiar with the art of war, he was still a young boy who talked too much on paper. Compared to the Prince An, this old and scheming general, he was like a newborn baby.
"You can leave. I want some peace and quiet!" Mu Zhi"s hand was tightly holding onto the corner of the table, as though he could in the next second plank the corner of the table.
Right now, his Spirit Qi could not be used, and the mysterious person did not appear, so the deal between Mu Jin and him was not settled yet!
And one of them was tied to the other.
"Yes sir!" Just when Fu Lu was about to leave.
Mu Zhi suddenly asked: "Is Qian Ye still making her way back to Jiangnan Courtyard?"
"Yes, if you can"t keep an eye on them, then Thousandleaf will run outside!" Fu Lu replied.
"Bring her here!" Mu Zhi said in a low voice, and the corner of his lips slowly cracked into a smile.
After a while, Fu Lu got someone to bring Qian Ye to the study room.
"Just how long are you going to keep me here? I don"t want to stay here!" Although this palace was very large and glorious, she really didn"t like it here at all.
She still liked the clear water pavilion, the Jiangnan Courtyard, and places with young masters.
You were brought into the palace by the young master, so naturally, we have to take good care of you when he leaves you here. Since he doesn"t come, I will send you back. Mu Zhi said leisurely.
Hearing that, Qian Ye"s face immediately darkened, even though her heart was in pain, she still tried to find an excuse for Mu Jin: "Didn"t Young Master get infected with the bewitching medicine previously? Maybe he"s recuperating, so he wouldn"t have the time to pick me up! "
"Although seductive medicine is considered poison, it"s not exactly seductive medicine. As long as it"s cured, everything will be fine. And with Young Master"s martial arts, why haven"t you recovered in three days? Moreover, asking someone to come and pick you up is just an order. It"s been three days and I still have not seen anyone from the Bright Moon Pavilion! " Mu Zhi walked to Qian Ye"s side and brought Qian Ye to his seat with a smile on his face.
Thousandleaf"s palm-sized face creased even more, but determination still flickered in his eyes, "It can"t be, Young Lord must have met with some mishap, Young Lord can"t possibly leave me here, maybe Young Lord forgot that I"m still in the palace!"
"Alright, alright. If the people from the Clear Water Pavilion still haven"t arrived by noon, I"ll have someone send you back!" Mu Zhi sat down on a chair beside Qian Ye and said indifferently.
