Chapter 119 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
The man sitting on his horse outside had a rare smile on his lips, but there was no sadness or joy in his eyes. His hand on the reins suddenly raised a little, bent slightly, and then gently hooked it at her.
Yingsi immediately ran over with a smile on her face.
Then he leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, "Want to run away?"
The smile on Yingsi's face suddenly stopped.
Satisfied with her expression, Wei Xuanzhi continued to curl his lips: "Yesterday, when I saw you killing someone, your left hand lacked some strength, and I just remembered some old things. Now think about it, do you want to tell me what you did in Chuzhou..."
Yingsi's left hand unconsciously tightened.
So he did not reduce his suspicion of her. The drama that day in Changqiu Palace was probably something he had planned long ago.
She smiled suddenly: "Are you always so mysterious? I have something to do in Chuzhou. If you are not on my way, I can find someone else to go."
Wei Xuanzhi nodded slightly, as if talking to himself: "That makes sense, but... Chuzhou is far away, and there have been too many murders and burials. I don't know... who will be more unlucky."
Who is unlucky? Who can be as unlucky as her?
Yingsi gritted her teeth and smiled: "Then I wonder what you think I should do?"
"Tell me honestly what you are doing in Chuzhou, otherwise... the palace will receive a letter from me tomorrow. The thief who assassinated Concubine Li escaped. I went through untold hardships to catch him, but he committed suicide..."
"General Mu would probably also like to hear this news."
Yingsi lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Yesterday I tried my best to save you, but you found my flaw at the critical moment? Now you are using this flaw to threaten me. It's really like... dog bite, Lu hole, guest..."
Wei Xuanzhi opened his lips and sneered, "Swear more, no one will listen to you on the Yellow Springs Road."
Yingsi sighed secretly: I originally wanted to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with him, so that the mission would go more smoothly later. But now, all the evidence is in his hands.
However, it is not necessarily.
What I'm going to do in Chuzhou is also related to him. Maybe if I tell him, he will help me.
But this matter cannot be gambled on. What if he is brainwashed by Li Qingyin's family and doesn't care about the past? If he turns around and blames her, she will definitely die, and the queen will also be implicated.
Wei Xuanzhi was getting impatient waiting and was about to pull the reins when Yingsi slowly spoke, "I'm going to Chuzhou... to look for my relatives."
Wei Xuanzhi glanced sideways slightly, and there was no smile on his face anymore.
"If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer. But if you tell a lie, I will tear your mouth apart."
Hearing this, Yingsi raised her head and looked at him seriously, then raised her hand to take out an emerald green button from her neck.
"I was picked up by Madam Mu in Chuzhou. This is the button she found next to my swaddling clothes. Her Majesty said she had found several families for me and allowed me to go back and identify them. If I can identify my ancestors, I will have a home to return to after I leave the palace in two years."
This was not a lie, the Queen did find out information about her family, but she had no intention of acknowledging it as she thought it was too troublesome.
But as smart as he is, there must be some truth in her words, otherwise it will be difficult to convince him.
Wei Xuanzhi seemed not very satisfied with this answer. He frowned, and then he didn't know whether he believed it or not. He suddenly looked forward and said lazily:
"If you go with me, there will be many things like what happened last night. Girl, think carefully."
Is this a promise?
Yingsi was delighted and quickly saluted him: "Sir, you are an unrivaled martial artist and extremely brave. I believe that protecting a woman like me should be a piece of cake!"
As expected of a maidservant beside the Queen, her reaction to flattery is really quick.
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her lightly and sneered, his tone slightly frivolous.
"Well, just assume that I will protect you."
With such a tone and smile, anyone could tell that he was speaking sarcastically.
But Yingsi took it as his promise and thanked him with a smile.
"Thank you, sir."
After saying that, she quickly stuffed another piece of silver into the proprietress’s pocket.
"Please hire me a carriage..."
Before the proprietress could speak, Wei Xuanzhi outside spoke in a very sneering tone, as if he had heard a joke.
"How dare you imagine that I ride on a horse while you ride in a carriage?"
Yingsi looked back with a sad look on her face: "You saw me riding a horse that day. I just didn't want to waste your time."
He seemed to be seriously recalling the scene of her riding a horse. After a while, he side-glanced at her with his dark eyes, the depth of which could not be seen.
"Come here," he ordered.
Yingsi moved awkwardly in front of his horse, trying to explain that she was not so useless.
However, in the blink of an eye, the world was spinning in front of her eyes, and Wei Xuanzhi grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and put her on his horse.
Yingsi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly two hands came around her waist and skillfully pulled the reins in front of her.
There was a cold breath behind him. At such a close distance, Yingsi only felt a chill on his back.
"I still..."
Before she could say anything, she heard a voice behind her that did not allow her to refuse.
Then he whipped the horse and galloped away at lightning speed.
It was so slow yesterday, but today it suddenly became fast.
It's really unpredictable.
But at least I had some direct contact with the male protagonist, and it was no longer a relationship of poking each other.
The horse ran so fast that the wind and dust blew into her eyes, making Yingsi unable to help but look away.
Wei Xuanzhi lowered his eyes to take a look, curled his lips, and whipped the horse hard to make it go faster.
Knowing that he liked to make trouble for others on purpose, Yingsi didn't even dare to fart and didn't open her mouth the entire way.
The people of Dongchang are really iron men. They haven't even had a sip of water since they set out, and they managed to make it to the next post station before they were notified to take a break.
Yingsi felt that maybe it wasn't the person who was failing, but the horse that refused to run.
The first thing those people did when they arrived at the post station was to feed the horses water and grass.
She is still hungry.
As soon as Wei Xuanzhi arrived at the place, he got off the horse easily, as if he had completely forgotten that there was someone else on the horse.
But Yingsi didn't expect him to treat her specially.
I got off the horse holding its neck and felt like I was reborn.
Just after taking a sip of water, he heard Wei Xuanzhi instructing: "Travel tonight and get to Lianzhou Prefecture before dawn."
Immediately, a neat “Yes” came from the surroundings.
Yingsi stuffed the buns into her mouth silently.
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her and sat down at the same table with her.
Having also travelled for a whole day, she looked as if she had gone through a famine, whereas Wei Xuanzhi looked normal.
At this moment, while she was feeding herself without any image.
Wei Xuanzhi was slowly pouring himself a cup of tea. His slender, bony fingers slowly grasped the rim of the cup and steadily brought it to his lips.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly while he drank tea, and his clothes were neatly folded below. Even though it was hot, they did not look loose or messy at all.
