Marry a Duke

Chapter 148 Suddenly Appeared

Late at night, Wei Xuan took Huo Nanfeng and his four men away.

General Mu did not ask where Wei Xuan was taking them.

As soon as Wei Xuan and others left, Mu Yan asked his father.

"Dad, where is the Duke of Wei going to hold this person? If Huo Long comes to our house tomorrow, he will definitely not believe that Huo Nanfeng didn't come to the Mu Mansion. How are we going to explain it then?" Mu Yan couldn't understand why Wei Xuan wanted to take Huo Nanfeng away.

Could it be that Huo Nanfeng is useful to Wei Xuan?

"By taking the man away, Duke Weiguo has saved the Mu family from trouble. Tomorrow, Huo Long will come to our house. As long as we deny his recognition, can he still search the general's house? Even if he wants to search, he won't have the chance to do so without an imperial edict." Huo Long's territory is in Huzhou, not in the capital.

Mu Yan thought about it and agreed.

Duke Weiguo is helping Mingyue this time and is also on the side of the Mu family.

Mingyue is now married to him and is his wife, so he must protect her carefully. In the future, everything in the Shou Palace will belong to Mingyue first, and then to him and the child.

From now on they are a family, rising together and falling together.

Mu Yan thought of Mingyue with a complicated expression.

Mingyue has a lively and cheerful personality. She is cute, but when she gets rude, it’s hard to handle.

Now Mingyue is not yet of age, and although they are married, they have not consummated their marriage.

We are still at the stage of sleeping in separate rooms.

Mingyue had no idea what happened tonight, she had already fallen into a sound sleep.

Wei Xuan returned home at five o'clock in the morning. He did not enter through the main gate of the Weiguo Mansion. Instead, he changed into a black robe and climbed over the eaves and walls directly.

I went back to Chaoguangyuan and changed my clothes.

There are spies around the Duke of Weiguo's mansion from time to time. He has already made arrangements for tomorrow's events. He must not let anyone catch him returning home in the middle of the night.

After changing into his pajamas, he quietly came to Fu Ran's room.

Qian Wu is on guard tonight.

Qian Wu met his master without saying a word, and Wei Xuan went straight into the house.

In the room, Fu Ran was sleeping soundly on the bed, while Wu You was sleeping on the small bed.

Ever since Fu Ran suspected that she was very likely to have sleepwalking, she placed Wuyou in a small bed and never held him in her arms to sleep.

She was worried that she would crush Wuyou in the middle of the night and hurt the little baby.

She doesn't remember anything yet.

Wei Xuan stood silently in front of the crib for a while, watching Wuyou sleep.

He slowly got on the big bed and lay down next to Fu Ran.

Fu Ran felt something and moved his body, but he was still in a deep sleep and did not wake up.

Wei Xuan closed his eyes.

At daybreak, when Wuyou was groaning, Fu Ran woke up. She subconsciously reached out to pat Wuyou, but she didn't expect that what her hands touched was a stiff body.

She was startled and her eyes suddenly widened.

Wei Xuan lay on the bed without her knowing when. She remembered that he did not come over last night.

She woke up in the middle of the night to change Wuyou's diaper, but she didn't see him.

He couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere.

"You, why are you here?" She widened her eyes, totally confused as to why he suddenly appeared.

Wei Xuan sat up with his eyes half closed and pulled down the hand she was pointing at.

He held it in his palm and didn't let go for a while.

"I came here very early yesterday, don't you remember?" he said in a deep voice.

Fu Ran's mind went blank for a moment.

Could it be that in addition to occasional sleepwalking, she also occasionally suffers from amnesia?

"Impossible, you lied to me. You were not in the room at three o'clock yesterday morning. When did you come here?" She believed in her intuition.

Does he know that appearing suddenly would scare people to death?

Wuyou is still young and doesn’t know how to be frightened.

But she knows.

The moment I opened my eyes, there was suddenly a person there. How frightening it was.

"Wuyou was crying in the middle of the night, and I came over when I heard the noise. You were sleeping soundly and didn't wake up." Wei Xuan stood up, picked up Wuyou and coaxed him.

He was very patient in coaxing Wuyou, and the expression on his face was much gentler.

Fu Ran wanted to continue questioning.

But on second thought, he had no reason to lie to her.

What good will it do him?

"Then I just slept too deeply." Fu Ran tapped her head, wondering whether she should ask a doctor to prescribe some medicine. Why were her problems getting worse and worse?

Wuyou's humming sounds were already heard by the wet nurse.

The wet nurse came over and carried Wuyou to the cubicle to feed him.

Fu Ran also went to change his clothes.

It was already daybreak and Wei Xuan was there again, so she had no reason to continue sleeping.

"Change clothes for me." Wei Xuan looked at her and said.

Fu Ran grumbled several things in his heart, but still changed his clothes obediently.

He had someone send a few sets of clothes here before, so now he has clothes to wear.

Dressing, combing hair, and washing are all done by Fu Ran.

By the time everything was ready, it was already daybreak.

Bi'an asked for a meeting outside the house.

"Get ready and go to Qingfuyuan for breakfast." After saying this, Wei Xuan went to the study.

Fu Ran didn't even have time to say no.

"Master, before daybreak Huo Long discovered that Huo Nanfeng was missing. He secretly found the Mu Mansion, but everything was normal and the guards were lax. Huo Long searched everywhere in the Mu Mansion. In order not to alert more guards, he did not search too carefully. At daybreak, he still did not find Huo Nanfeng, so he left."

Bi'an has been keeping an eye on the Huo family's every move.

Whenever Holon went out, he would follow and stare at him.

"Later, Huo Long went to the Princess's Mansion. When I saw him enter, I asked someone to watch him and then came back to report to you," said Bi'an.

Wei Xuan nodded, his eyes slightly gloomy.

"Break Huo Nanfeng's leg and send him to Mogu."

"Yes."

"Next, the princess will work with Huo Long to find Huo Nanfeng. Let Gao Mian keep an eye on their every move." Wei Xuan has already sent people to Shouzhou.

No one is allowed to mine the silver mines in Shouzhou for the time being.

The Princess and Holon simply wanted to seize the mining rights of the silver mine, to control the silver mines of Dayue Kingdom in their own hands, and to fill their pockets.

Wei Xuan knew what the emperor was thinking.

No matter how much he respected the eldest princess, he still did it for the sake of the country's destiny.

What he wants to control is the imperial power. Even if he cares about family affection, this family affection must give way to the imperial power.

Wei Xuan has already sent a secret report to inform the emperor.

As long as the emperor does not give in, no one can take away Shouzhou's mining rights.

Anyone who dares to mine privately is violating the imperial order and shall be punished by death.

*

Huo Long woke up before dawn, went to Huo Nanfeng's room, and saw the note he left.

He wanted to avenge the Huo family.

Huo Long went to the Shouwang Mansion, and found that the mansion was intact and the gate was closed.

He then went to the Mu Mansion, which was also as quiet as water. Huo Nanfeng did not succeed, but he did not return either, so he must have encountered an accident on the way.

Huo Long searched the Mu Mansion for a while but found no trace of Huo Nanfeng.

So before dawn, he went to the Princess's Mansion.

Ask the princess to help find someone.

They were supposed to leave at dawn, but now Huo Nanfeng is nowhere to be seen, and Huo Long cannot leave for the time being.

"Huo Long, you go back to Huzhou first, guard Huzhou, and dispatch personnel. I need enough people to go mining at any time. As for Huo Nanfeng, I will order people to find him for you. As long as he is still in the capital, I will find him for you."
