surrogate wife
Chapter 55
After the letter was written, An Er went to Xue's mansion to deliver the letter, while An Yi commanded all the secret guards and trusted loyal servants to clean up the gold, silver and other items.
There are many valuable things in the palace, and in a hurry, only light and precious things were taken away, such as night pearls, thousand-year-old warm jade and other rare and heavy treasures.
It is necessary to carry the bank notes with you. The inheritance of the Prince's Mansion plus the rewards from the previous emperor and the painstaking efforts of these years, the bank notes alone are worth 80 taels.
There were dozens of boxes of hidden gold and silver, and it was difficult to transport them away for a while, so I had to find a place to hide them and save them for later retrieval.
This is still the case, not to mention some other ornaments, at least half of the wealth can only stay here forever.
There are also those house deeds and land deeds, and Zhuangzi's properties everywhere. Without the names of Li Ke County King and Princess, those will become waste paper.Abandoning such a huge sum of wealth, it can be said that a strong man broke his wrist.
The hidden guards, butlers and servants flew up in a hurry, wishing each of them would have eight legs.
An Er quietly came to Xue's house and jumped into the courtyard. He couldn't do this kind of work very easily. He stepped on the tiles and flew all the way to the main courtyard.
When I arrived, I found out that it was the residence of the old lady of the Xue family.
He touched his nose and found a way to go.
This time I was lucky, and found the Dongkua courtyard where Xue Yi and the others lived.
As soon as he climbed over the courtyard wall, Wen Yumu opened his eyes inside the house.
There are many things tonight, and he has maintained absolute vigilance.
In the darkness, he sat up silently and listened attentively to the light cat-like footsteps. This kind of unique skill is the royal secret guard!
His heart suddenly raised, who sent the hidden guards so late, the emperor, or Li Ke?
What is the reason for coming here late at night?
It was hard for him not to think of Wen Changning's case.
In this way, the person who came should be sent by King Li Ke.
If it was the emperor, he really didn't need it, and the quality of his hidden guards seemed to be inferior to those in Li Ke's hands. There were not enough people left in the palace to protect the royal family, so it didn't make sense to send them to his house at this time.
Could it be that Wen Changning's case really has something to do with him, that he really wants to rebel?
Now you are afraid of being discovered, so you come to kill and silence?
In the blink of an eye, he thought a lot, but in the next moment, he only heard the sound of a piercing sound, and a hidden weapon was nailed to the pillar at the door.
Ok?
People are gone.
Wen Yumu got out of bed, gently opened the door, suddenly raised his eyes, and met the eyes of a hidden guard sitting on the wall.
An Er waved his hand in embarrassment, he just wanted to stay and confirm, but unexpectedly, the people in the room came out.
Of course he remembered this one. Back then they suspected that he was a top expert, but they thought it was impossible, so they rejected this conjecture.
Now it seems that they are too naive.
Wen Yumu smiled, turned around and closed the door, and waved to him.
An Er came over obediently, thought for a while, cupped his fists and said, "Wen, Mr. Wen, don't come here without any problems."
The address he came up with on the spur of the moment amused Wen Yumu, he had never been called that.
"Did your lord call you here, or did the princess call you here?"
An Er scratched his head, wondering: "My lord and concubine sent me here together. You will know the specifics after reading the letter."
"I have to go back to my life, you see..."
Wen Yumu nodded, "Then you should leave first."
An'er clasped his fists in thanks, took a few steps back, then turned around and jumped away.
Wen Yumu took down the letters and saw that one was for Xue Yi and the other was for him, neither of which was signed.
The letter given to him was in Yu'an's handwriting, and the handwriting on the other letter should belong to the county prince.
He opened the letter, read it quickly, and hurried in to wake Xue Yi up.
"Ayi, wake up, something serious happened."
Xue Yi woke up in a daze, with a pair of beautiful sleeping phoenix eyes hazy and sleepy, and his eyelids were bigger than before.
"what happened?"
"Look at it." Wen Yumu handed him the letter from Prince Li Ke.
Xue Yi took the letter and woke up after reading a few lines. He sat up straight with a solemn face.
"King Qi, Li Ke, the Shen family, Gong Wenzhen, Tu Renying, that's how it is!"
"I didn't expect that there are so many people involved behind this."
"Oops!" He suddenly shuddered, and said in shock: "Tu Renying is the commander of the imperial army. Prince Li Ke betrayed the water and planned to escape. King Qi will definitely get the news. I'm afraid he has already started to act at this time!"
Wen Yumu was also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and rubbed his brows anxiously, "I never thought there would be so many things happening this night."
"Ayi, are you sure King Qi will take action? What if he hasn't received the news of Prince Li Ke's betrayal?"
"No, no." Xue Yi got up and began to put on his clothes, "Mu Mu, he and Li Ke obviously cooperate with each other and guard against each other. If Li Ke wants to run, he will know."
"Then what should we do now?" Wen Yumu couldn't help but frowned.
Xue Yi opened the door and shouted loudly: "Xiaoman—! Go to the kitchen and get me some radishes. Also, give me my carving toolbox."
Xiaoman woke up from his sleep, put on his clothes and ran to the kitchen without asking any questions, the master was in such a hurry, he didn't dare to go up to the trouble.
"A Yi, what are you doing?" Wen Yumu asked again.
"Mu Mu." Xue Yi held his hand, his eyes were full of determination, "I want to forge the Sacred Master's handbook and rescue my brother."
"Listen to me, the King of Qi has been planning for many years, and even the commander of the imperial army is his own. If it is not guaranteed, he still has private soldiers. Even if he does not, the imperial army rebelled, and it is difficult to protect the palace."
"Right now, only by rescuing the senior brother first, and relying on his prestige, to summon the troops of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, can we compete with him."
Wen Yumu nodded, "I understand."
"You are very skilled, can you enter the palace to spy and secretly protect the safety of the emperor?" A few drops of sweat dripped from Xue Yi's anxious brows, "We must not let King Qi hurt the emperor."
Once the emperor died, it would be a devastating blow to the Wen family and the Xue family.What's more, King Qi is not a wise king at all, and it would be a misfortune for all people to let him take the throne.
Wen Yumu immediately said: "Don't worry, I'll go now."
"It's just that I'm not by your side, you must pay attention to safety."
Speaking of this, he hesitated again, "Otherwise, I'd better accompany you to rescue the senior brother first, and I can rest assured that he is by your side."
Xue Yi was very moved, but he couldn't agree, "Mu Mu, the emperor is in danger now, and nothing will happen to him, so you have to rush into the palace as soon as possible, without further delay."
"Don't worry, I will protect myself."
Wen Yumu clenched his fists, regretful in his heart, "I knew it earlier, I should have stopped that hidden guard just now."
He was still uneasy, thought for a moment, and said: "Ayi, you carve a seal here first, and I will go to Prince Li Ke's mansion to borrow someone, and then I will go to the palace."
Xue Yi knew that if he disagreed again, he would definitely not want to, not to mention he didn't want to push him away, so he said: "Okay, you go quickly."
Wen Yumu changed into his night clothes, tied up his hair, put on his mask, and flew away, disappearing into the night in a few strokes.
Xiaoman brought a basket of radishes from the kitchen and a small box on his back.
When he came in, he saw the master standing at the table writing, and when he took a closer look, he was terrified.
"Second, Second Lord?!" He said tremblingly, "You, you are forging an imperial decree! This, this is to..."
Beheaded.
Xue Yi coldly reprimanded: "Shut up! The situation is urgent, and I am also forced to do nothing. The emperor will not care about me."
Even if the king of Qi didn't raise troops and the imperial army didn't cause chaos in the end, the emperor would understand him. After all, he didn't dare to bet on the possibility of nothing happening, and neither did the emperor.
Xiao Man didn't dare to speak anymore, and the two warring groups began to help him peel the radishes.
Xue Yi's handwriting is good, not only can he write different fonts with his left and right hands at the same time, but he can also imitate other people's fonts to perfection.
When he was a student in the Imperial Academy, he was most favored by the emperor, and he drafted many documents for him, and he knew his handwriting well.
Imitation of handwriting, done in one go.
After the manuscript was written, he took a piece of radish and began to carve the seal.
An emperor's private seal and a small seal were engraved.There is no imperial seal engraved, because the handwriting is not as formal as usual, and using the imperial seal would be superfluous.
Carve a seal, dip it in ink pad, and print it properly.
An indistinguishable manuscript was completed.
The Xue family and Li Kejun's mansion are not very far away, they are both in Danyang Fang, Wen Yumu took a shortcut and arrived soon.
The county palace was in a hurry, so he went straight to find Nan Gonglin and Xiao Yu'an.
He fell silently and suddenly, even An Yi didn't notice that someone came to the palace, and he was still busy packing his belongings.
Nan Gonglin stared at him nervously, protecting Xiao Yu'an behind him, "Who is your Excellency, and what are you doing here?"
It should not be King Qi's people. If King Qi had such a master under his command, he wouldn't be thinking about his hidden guards all day long.
Could it be that the emperor found out?
Wen Yumu took off his mask, "It's me."
Nangong Lin's eyes widened in astonishment, but Xiao Yu'an was not very surprised. The dark guard had already mentioned it to him, and he didn't think it was surprising that his friend knew martial arts.
After all, Yu Mu is so powerful, what can be difficult for him?
"You, you are the master who hides beside Xue Yi?!" Nangong Lin lost his voice.
Wen Yumu nodded, "Your Majesty laughed."
"To be honest, I'm here today to ask for something."
"You say." Anyway, she was going to run away, and Nangong Lin was happy to maintain a good relationship with them.
"I want to borrow a secret guard from the prince to go to Xue's house to protect my husband. No matter what he is going to do, I will ask this secret guard to protect his safety."
"If the prince is willing to help, I will definitely remember it in my heart."
Xiao Yu'an immediately said: "Of course I want to help, but Yu Mu, why did you come to ask us to borrow someone, where are you going?"
Wen Yumu looked at him, smiled slightly, and said softly, "I want to enter the palace to protect the emperor."
Nan Gonglin said: "Yu'an, Tu Renying, the commander of the imperial army, is also a member of the King of Qi. He is the number one master of Daqi. The hidden guards around the emperor may not be able to stop him, so Mrs. Xue wants to enter the palace."
Xiao Yu'an nodded, and said worriedly: "Then you must take care."
"I know, just leave it alone."
The matter was settled, and Wen Yumu couldn't delay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye to his friend and left.
Xiao Yu'an watched his back disappear, and couldn't help feeling sad, "This is probably the last time we will see each other in this life."
Nangong Lin hugged him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's nothing, when the limelight passes, we may have a chance to see you again."
Xiao Yu'an smiled, "I'm fine, my lord, hurry up and find the hidden guards to come to Xue's residence."
Nangong Lin whistled, and An Liu, who was the closest, settled down and obeyed his orders.
"Go to Xue's house, protect Xue Yi, no matter what he does, first ensure his safety."
"Yes."
There are many valuable things in the palace, and in a hurry, only light and precious things were taken away, such as night pearls, thousand-year-old warm jade and other rare and heavy treasures.
It is necessary to carry the bank notes with you. The inheritance of the Prince's Mansion plus the rewards from the previous emperor and the painstaking efforts of these years, the bank notes alone are worth 80 taels.
