The news that King Jing, Gu Moxi, had entered the Lan Mansion in the west of the city with a backpack spread among the people. Only then did everyone realize that the haunted house was already occupied. It seemed that the owner must have a special relationship with King Jing. King Jing did not even want to live there. If there was a reason why the people knew so quickly, it was because Gu Moxi had been seen by many people when she went to the Lan Mansion yesterday.
Under the sunlight, a cold and handsome man carried a simple bag on his back and held a sword as he walked from the Prince's Mansion in the north of the city to the Lan Mansion in the west of the city. Along the way, he knew that he would become a topic of conversation. The common people could not understand what this Prince was doing, and the officials in the court were the same. They rejected all the assumptions by themselves, and in the end, they were still confused.
Outsiders might not understand, but how could Gu Moran, Gu Moyan, and the secret guards of the palace not understand? After Gu Mo Xi's notice and deployment last night, Gu Mo Ran was worried about this younger brother who had fallen in love. If it was a woman with a humble status, it would be fine. At most, he would turn a blind eye and let it go. But the other party was a demon. Would there be a good ending?
Gu Moyan was happy to give his brother his blessings for finding the woman he loved. His second brother had a calm personality. He was almost twenty-five years old and did not have a concubine in the palace. There were inevitably some bad rumors among the people. Now that he had found a woman to spend the rest of his life with, how could he not be happy? So what if he was a demon? He believed that sincerity could break metal and stone, and he believed that man could conquer nature.
Compared to the two of them, Housekeeper Zhu and the secret guards were very simple. As long as the prince was good and the prince was safe, it would be fine. Therefore, the leader of the secret guards, Yan, brought his men and moved to the Lan Mansion like Gu Mo Xi. Naturally, he saw the uniqueness of this courtyard. The array, the servants who were killers, and the three men who came in and out every day surprised him.
During the morning court session today, the old Prime Minister handed a memorial to Gu Moran, saying that there was an inexplicable outbreak of plague in the neighboring city. At first, the magistrate thought it was murder. After investigation and deliberation, he determined the next target of the criminal and led all the bailiffs to ambush in advance. In the end, the target still fell in front of them inexplicably. The so-called criminal did not even appear. More and more people died. Seeing that they were almost all dead, he hurriedly reported it to the court.
The memorial also said that every corpse was very strange. When the coroner examined the corpse, there was a bloody hole in the chest, which meant that the heart had been dug out. However, when the magistrate went to examine the corpse again, the wound disappeared. Moreover, the corpse looked like it was sleeping, and its face was rosy. Then, the next day, dense pustules grew out. When the pustules burst out and pus flowed out, anyone who touched it would fall asleep inexplicably after a few days. The magistrate determined that these pustules were the crux of the plague.
Looking at the number of deaths and the number of people who escaped on the report, Gu Mo 'an was furious. Two-thirds of the people in the city had died, and the remaining one-third had run away." What on earth did the magistrate do? He only handed in the report now, but he actually let the people in the city run away. What if the plague spreads? Men, pass on my decree. Take off the magistrate's black gauze hat and send him to the border."”
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Other than the two princes kneeling and shouting, the old Prime Minister continued," Your Majesty, Magistrate Wang is an honest and fair official in Liao City. The people in the city spontaneously gave Wang Qingtian's plaque and title. It seems that Magistrate Wang is not to be blamed for the strange plague. Please think twice."”
Gu Moran was angry for a moment, but after listening to the old prime minister's persuasion, he curbed his anger and waved his hand to signal the guards to leave and concentrate on dealing with the plague." Do you have a way to cure the plague?"”
As soon as this question came out of Shangyang Palace, it was extremely quiet. The officials in the two rows lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, afraid that Gu Moran would point at them. After waiting for a moment, no one stood up. Gu Moran saw that the anger that he had just suppressed was showing signs of rising again. Just as he was about to shout angrily, he saw King Jing, Gu Moxi, stand up from his chair and swallow the words that had stopped in his throat.
Gu Mo Xi walked to the center of the hall, her white clothes whiter than snow. She said lightly," Imperial Brother, I request an imperial edict to go to Liao City to cure the plague."”
King Jing's request for an edict made the officials heave a sigh of relief, but it made his brothers and the old Prime Minister worried. The plague was very strange. What if he was infected? The Heavenly Saints Kingdom would lose a great talent. However, seeing Gu Moxi's firm attitude, Gu Moran, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, could only nod in agreement.
"Alright, pass on my decree, ordering King Jing Gu Moxi to go to Liao City to cure the plague, and to distribute 500,000 taels of silver for disaster relief. Second brother, be careful. Royal brother is waiting for you to come back.”The last sentence was filled with worry.
"Royal brother, don't worry. This king will definitely return safely.”Gu Mo Xi turned around and walked towards the palace gate. Her snow-white clothes swayed in the wind, and her figure drifted away like an immortal.
Gu Moxi received the edict and hurried back to his courtyard in the Lan Mansion. Looking at the new place, he smiled bitterly. He remembered that when Xi 'er rushed over yesterday, she saw that this place was very dilapidated. He could only take a nap on the beam before going to court. Now this " clean as living " courtyard was probably made by Yan.
He glanced at her calf and instep, and the bitter smile on his lips turned into adoration. There were two bruises there, which showed how much strength Xi 'er had used yesterday to wake her up. He gladly accepted it and even liked it a little pervertedly. If others knew about this, they would definitely be surprised.
"Yan." With a soft cry, a black shadow appeared beside Gu Mo Xi.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Yan was dressed in a black suit and was still under the influence of his prince's overly warm smile.
" Pack up. I'm going to Liao City. Also, choose two people to stay behind to protect Xi 'er. Report Xi' er's situation to me every day, and…" Before Gu Mo Xi could finish, Yan suddenly interrupted. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Usually, Yan would leave after listening to the order silently.
"The WangFei already left this morning.”
" Boom!" Gu Moxi, who had just thought that the title 'Princess Consort' sounded pleasant to her ears, suddenly turned around and looked at Yan, her voice unconsciously raised a lot." What did you say? Do you know where Xi 'er went? Did you send someone to follow her? Who did you bring?"”
One question after another was thrown at him. Yan's mouth twitched, and he was speechless at his prince's overreaction." Prince, don't be anxious."
"How can I not be anxious? Hurry up and tell me!”
" You have to give me a chance to say it," Yan lamented in his heart. He continued," After His Highness went to court this morning, the future consort brought her personal servant girl onto the carriage. I've already sent someone to follow them. From the looks of it, they're heading towards Liao City."”
Gu Moxi listened carefully. When she heard that Xi 'er did not go out alone, her worries subsided a little, but she became anxious again when she heard the words " Liao City "." Liao City, why is Xi' er going to Liao City? There's a plague there. Yan, follow me to Liao City first and let the people behind follow us as soon as possible."”After saying that, she didn't pack her bag and rushed out.
Yan was helpless and could only hastily order his subordinates to chase after him. He thought that his highness 'pursuit of his wife was really a bad start.
On the bleak official road, a carriage sped past. Fortunately, there was no one on the road at this time. If anyone saw it, it would definitely cause a commotion. The heavy snow from the previous two days and last night had accumulated a thick layer of snow on the official road, making it difficult for a carriage to move. Normally, a carriage would move very slowly, and there would be two wheel marks on the snow. However, this carriage was not only fast, but it did not leave any traces wherever it passed. The strangest thing was that there was no horse pulling the carriage. It was more appropriate to say that it was a carriage using a flying car. Just look at the wheels that flew off the ground.
Lan Xi was sleeping in the carriage. Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan were on the left and right. Their hands were wrapped in golden and snow-white light. It was obvious that they were controlling the carriage to fly. This was nothing to the living souls who had hundreds of years of cultivation.
Today, after Gu Moxi went to court, Lan Xi, who should be sleeping, opened the door and ordered the carriage to be prepared to go to Liao City immediately under Mei Sheng and Yuan Yuan's shocked expressions. Although they did not know why the Miss went to Liao City, they still prepared the carriage and set off with the Miss. At the current speed, they would arrive in the afternoon. As for the small tail behind them, they had already shaken off.
Outside Shengyang City, Gu Moxi and Yan were following the carriage tracks on their lightness skills. Halfway there, they met the hidden guard who was originally following the carriage. When the two of them landed, they heard him report that he had been shaken off. Then the three of them chased after him together. After chasing for a while, the three of them landed on the ground and looked at the suddenly broken carriage tracks in shock.
"Wangye, this, could it be that the carriage that the future wangfei was in suddenly disappeared?”Yan guessed as cold sweat trickled down his forehead. It was obvious that he found it difficult to accept what he saw.
There were no other passers-by, and there was snow on the ground. They had only seen traces of a carriage along the way. Why did it suddenly stop here? It was too strange.
Gu Moxi was really panicking. She wondered if Xi 'er had completely disappeared from his life in this way. Although she tried to deny it and comfort herself, she could not shake off the fear. The source of this fear was that he was weaker than her. She made a decision in her thoughts. He wanted to become strong, strong enough to shelter her from the wind and rain.
"No matter what, you guys follow this king to Liao City first.”Since the decree had been issued, Gu Moxi could not abandon the people of Liao City. Moreover, he hoped that Xi 'er would be there.
In the afternoon, Lan Xi's carriage stopped in the dense forest a little further away from the city. She was woken up by Mei Sheng. Lan Xi jumped off the carriage with a warm white fox cloak draped over her shoulders. Under the cloak, she was still wearing a thin and shocking backless outfit. After Mei Sheng and Yuan Yuan got off the carriage, they led the way out of the dense forest. Their deep and pure eyes fell on Liao City a little further away.
Mei Sheng and Yuan Yuan both sucked in a breath of cold air. The Yin Qi in Liao City was surging in their vision, and there was also a strong resentment emanating from it. When they saw the black fog-like Yin Qi, they knew that there was an evil ghost in the city. However, they did not know what it had encountered when it was alive to have such a strong resentment after its death.
"Miss, what do you plan to do?" Yuanyuan asked, her eyes filled with sympathy for the evil ghosts. As a living soul, she naturally understood that most of the evil ghosts with grievances had suffered miserably when they were alive. Some were even so miserable that they were hated by the heavens.
Lan Xi did not answer. She only cast a meaningful glance at Yuanyuan and led the way to Liao City. Mei Sheng raised his hand and pinched Yuanyuan's shoulder. He held her hand and followed her.
