"It's that lackey. I believe he should be someone from the Prince's faction!" Zhu Xu gnashed his teeth. If he didn't have a backer, a mere fifth-grade official like him would have the audacity to arrest Dou Jing who was at the middle rank of the imperial court.
"Then let's start with him! Don't worry Prime Minister, I won't give up until the very last moment! " Xiao Yin said angrily. As the two spoke, they had already left the city gate, heading straight for the Sky Prison.
Amongst the crowd, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but sigh. In the eyes of the people of the Great Mo, perhaps the death of an emperor had nothing to do with them, they just wanted to live a peaceful life with their own little days. If one day, when the Great Mo changes generations and a woman becomes the emperor, their reactions should also be the same, right? As long as they were able to live a good life, it didn't matter who was the emperor …
"Giddy..." Get out of the way... "Those in front, move out of the way …" A burst of noise suddenly sounded out, and the crowd suddenly started to boil. Duan Mu Yan was so focused on her own thoughts that she didn't notice the carriage behind her at all.
"Miss!" Seeing that the horse carriage was about to crash into Duan Mu Yan, Zi Min dashed to the side and pulled her to the side. She then heard the groans of the coachman on the carriage.
"You're blind!" I let you go so that you won't hear me … " Zi Min couldn't hold back her anger. She wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Duan Mu Yan.
"Forget it, let's hurry to the Spring Festival. If Yan Wuhen did not have something important, he would not have come looking for us so urgently." However, he did not care about the horseman's clamor.
"Miss, did you see that? That carriage was beautifully decorated, and even the curtains were inlaid with gold. It definitely has quite the background." Yao'er paid close attention, her heart filled with interest.
"Your observation is quite detailed. But from the way the carriage driver is driving, he must be some other playboy who only knows how to bully the common people!" Zi Min was indignant.
As the three of them spoke, they had already entered the inn. The waiter and the shopkeeper were no strangers to them, so there was no need to entertain them. It would be fine as long as they did not disturb them.
Inside the guest room, Duan Moyan was already able to skillfully place the mask on her face. Zi Min and Yao'er had also changed their appearances, and the three of them left the backyard, heading straight for the Spring Festival.
When the three of them arrived at the gate of the Spring Festival, they were shocked to find that the carriage just now, the coachman had already dismounted and placed the bench in front of the carriage, and then the carriage curtain was gently lifted up by someone, and a maidservant stepped out of the carriage first. Although she was not a beauty that could topple a country, she was still a beauty out of a hundred. Just as the three of them were suspicious, the servant girl extended her hand to the carriage. When the people inside walked out, the surrounding people were all shocked.
"What a beautiful woman …" As Passerby A sighed with emotion, he was already salivating on the floor.
"His looks are not inferior to Leng Bing's!" Passerby B said firmly.
"Not necessarily. At the very most, he would be an unworthy opponent. However, he is still a little inferior compared to Meng Yan …" The passersby said in disapproval.
"Anyway, she's a beauty of a Heavenly Immortal …" "Looks like this Spring Festival is really a wutong tree. How many golden phoenixes did it attract …" At the side, Duan Mu Yan looked the woman in front of her from head to toe. Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were like apricots, her waist was delicate and dainty, her steps were light and graceful, her tranquility was like a beautiful flower basking in the water, her movements were like a lithe willow tree supporting the wind, her graceful and graceful demeanor, her charming and graceful appearance, and her proper demeanor were all extremely captivating.
"Miss, this girl is indeed extraordinary …" Zi Min was amazed as she stared at the girl in front of her.
"Miss, could it be that she also came to the Spring Festival to hang up her signboard?" Yao'er resentfully said. One mountain couldn't tolerate two tigers. Now that there was one more in the Spring Festival, it seemed that the days in the future would be more lively.
At this moment, Feng Guihua came out to welcome him.
"Aiyo …" She only came out when she saw I was being rude. Miss Ni Chang has been working hard all this time … "Quick, come in!" Feng Guihua immediately opened up a path, and her eyes that were staring at Miss Ni Chang narrowed into a slit. At this moment, how could she still notice Duan Mu Yan?
"Miss …" Yao'er hesitated.
"Let's go in. We might get an unexpected harvest …" Duan Muyan smiled lightly as she walked into the Spring Festival.
At this time, Feng Guihua had already brought Ni Chang to Mei Yuxuan on the second floor.
"Miss Ni Chang, you must be tired from all the traveling. I've already ordered some people to prepare a bath. As long as you give me an order, I'll send it in immediately." Feng Guihua looked at Ni Chang with a face full of smiles as she said in an attentive manner.
"Thank you, mother Feng …" I heard that there are two big names hanging here in the middle of the market, so naturally, the rainbow dress is no exception. Since one of them is in the first year, while the other is in the fifteenth, then the rainbow dress will not contend, and I wonder if mother Feng has any objections? " Her soft and charming eyes were like bright stars as she looked at Feng Guihua. Not to mention men, at this moment, Feng Guihua felt as if her bones were going to ache.
Line Lines... Of course you can, Miss Ni Chang can do whatever you want … "Um, just call me Sister Hua. All the girls here call me that. It's so intimate …" Feng Guihua nodded excitedly.
"Since that's the case, I'm a bit tired. I'll have to trouble Big Sister Hua to get someone to bring the bath water over. But you have to prepare a big wooden bucket, it's not comfortable …" Ni Chang ordered.
"Rows... No problem... "Then you rest first, I'll go prepare …" Feng Guihua was afraid that she would neglect Ni Chang, so she immediately turned around and left Mei Yanxuan.
The moment the door was closed, Ni Chang suddenly pulled Xing'er, who was waiting by the side. One of her hands had already wrapped around Xing'er's waist. The touch of her cherry lips caused her body to uncontrollably tremble …
As soon as she stepped into the Violet Butterfly Pavilion, she sensed a familiar aura, and instructed Zi Min to wait outside.
The moment the door was tightly shut, Yan Wuhen suddenly walked out from behind the drapes.
"This subordinate pays his respect to Pavilion Master." Yan Wuhen knelt down respectfully and spoke humbly.
"Wake up, did you find out about Dou Jing?" Duan Mu Yan rushed forward and helped Yan Wu Hen up.
"Reporting to Pavilion Master, it is rumored from the outside that the letter between Dou Jing and the Fourth Prince of the Southern Mountain had been exposed, and that the person exposed was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wu Bingcheng. Now that the Emperor has passed down the decree to behead Dou Jing ten days later at the afternoon gate, this subordinate has been scouting around the Ministry of Justice and has seen the few letters, and the handwriting is indeed that of General Dou." Yan Wuhen replied truthfully.
"Father really wants to kill Dou Jing?" From what she remembered, her mother had once told her that Dou Jing was one of his royal father's most trusted courtiers. Back then on the battlefield, he had even saved his father's life.
"That's right …" Furthermore, this subordinate found out from other sources that this Wu Bingcheng has already become the crown prince's henchman. In other words, the one who really wants Dou Jingming is not the emperor, but the crown prince! " Although Yan Wuhen did not know much about politics, Dou Jing was a hero of the Badlands Court. Yan Wuhen held quite a bit of respect for him.
"Duan Xingyi …" "It's really him. It seems like he's already cleared himself. Since the emperor has already opened his mouth, then I'm sure that Dou Jing will die without a doubt …" Duan Mu Yan pondered.
"Pavilion Master, are we going to let Dou Jing die like this?" Yan Wuhen believed that Duan Moyan's instructions to him to investigate Dou Jing must have a deeper meaning.
"Royal father wants to clear Duan Xingyi of all the troubles in his heart, but I won't let him do as he pleases! Wu Hen, you have to pay more attention to the movements in the Sky Prison during these few days. If there really is no chance for you to return, then we will do it in secret. " Duan Mu Yan said resolutely.
"Yes!" Yan Wuhen respectfully accepted the order.
"Also, for the time being, you don't need to report your identity to Madam Zhenguo. You only need to gain their trust, and once we take this final step, we'll have to send the people from the General's Estate away from the Imperial City for later use." This was the first step for her to ascend to the throne. Perhaps her plans to be the emperor weren't mature enough, but it was still necessary for her to win over the hearts of others.
"This subordinate understands." Yan Wuhen silently admired Duan Mu Yan. If she had such a bold person, she would definitely become magnanimous in the future.
At this moment, Zi Min's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Ugh …" That's right … "My young miss is here, she's inside right now …" Before Zi Min could finish her sentence, Feng Guihua had already pushed open the door and entered.
"I say, Meng Yan, it's really not easy to see you again. Have you settled all of your matters?" Feng Guihua was smiling, but there was a hint of anger in her voice.
"Yao'er …" At this moment, Duan Muyan was sitting beside the table. She was holding a teacup in her hand as she cast a side glance at Yao'er. Yao'er slightly nodded her head before walking up to Feng Guihua's side.
"Sister Hua, here are two thousand taels of silver in banknotes. I'll leave it to you. Consider it as compensation for the loss of the previous agreement. If it is not enough …" Yao'er was about to dig out more money, but was stopped by Feng Guihua.
"Enough... Enough is enough... Look, why are you so polite, Miss Meng Yan is just lacking a bit, who's not in a rush, Sister Hua came to see if there is anything I can help with, if not, then I will leave now. " Feng Guihua immediately had a big smile on her face, which was very different from when she first entered.
"Sister Hua, I just saw a woman who looks like a celestial goddess staying next door to Mei Yuxuan. I wonder where that woman came from?" Duan Mu Yan asked curiously.
"Ugh …" You're talking about Miss Ni Chang, she is the leader of the southern generation. I'm tired of staying in the southern region, so I thought I'd take a walk around the Imperial City. That's why I'm temporarily staying at Mei Yuxuan, this … You don't mind? " Feng Guihua probed.
"Sister Hua is too serious. We are both working for the Spring Festival, how could Meng Yan mind? And last time, if Miss Bing Xin had not saved us, Meng Yan really would not have known what to do. I think that we have a sister to take care of each other." Duan Muyan lightly placed her teacup down and lightly replied.
"Screech ~ ~" "I knew you had a big heart, Miss Yan'er." Feng Guihua said with a smile.
"Alright, Yan'er is tired …." When Feng Guihua saw the situation, she tactfully retreated. At this moment, the maidservants who were serving Ni Chang the bath also retreated.
After Feng Guihua left, Yao'er slowly walked to Duan Mu Yan's side.
"Miss, are you suspecting that Ni Chang?" Yao'er vigilantly asked.
"We don't have any doubts. The people and matters here originally had nothing much to do with us. It's just that how good is this Spring Festival? It could attract people like Leng Bing Xin and Ni Chang. Don't you think that's strange?" Duan Muyan said in a gentle voice.
