Chapter 431 Sending Peaches
Huai Xin Yuan.
Hua Yi led several maids to tend to the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Then the maid said that a young man had come to the door, and he claimed to be the godson of Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei?
Was it the Wei Jianxin she thought he was?
If it were him personally, that would be fine, but he's just a nobody young man, why should she bother to meet someone she has no connection with?
Hua Yi looked at the little palace maid.
"Go and turn him down, just say I'm not here!"
She was a senior palace maid serving the princess. If she had to meet every Tom, Dick, and Harry, wouldn't she exhaust herself?
The little stool waited outside the door for a long time before finally seeing someone come out.
However, the same little palace maid who came out was the same one as before.
"Young master, my steward has gone out on business. Please come back another day!"
The palace maid's words made Xiao Ban Deng extremely anxious.
"Miss, please do me a favor and go and inform them again! I really have something urgent to discuss with your manager..."
Her godfather sent her here because he must know that only she can solve this problem.
Seeing that Xiaoban Deng was so anxious he was about to jump up and down, Xiaomei couldn't bear it.
"Alright, I'll go in and inform them for you!"
Seeing Xiaomei's kindness, Xiaoban Deng thanked her sweetly, saying, "Miss, you are such a kind person!"
If I get to meet your steward today, I'll definitely treat you to a meal at Chunfeng Restaurant in the capital!
"Heh, I don't care about your meal!"
Xiao Mei, her face flushed, ran inside.
"Xiaomei, has that person left?"
Come on, help me move this potted plant inside!
Upon seeing Xiaomei return, Huayi gave her instructions directly.
"Auntie, that person hasn't left."
I just did as you said, but he said he has something very important to discuss with you.
Why don't you take some time to meet him?
Xiaomei had a good impression of the small stool, but she knew that Aunt Huayi was not an easy person to talk to.
So I wanted to give him a chance.
Whether to see him or not was not up to her; she could only leave it to his luck!
Hua Yi frowned when she heard that Xiao Bench hadn't left.
It's really difficult.
Although he's difficult to deal with, she has a way to handle him.
"Ignore him and let him wait!"
Mei Lane.
"Young lady, this is a peach that a soldier surnamed Lin asked me to bring to you. He specifically told you to try it!"
"Lin?"
Looking at the basket of peaches, Wu Weiwei had a strange expression.
"Ok!"
The little boy didn't say much, and left after delivering the peaches.
"Young lady, could the soldier surnamed Lin that man mentioned be Manager Lin?"
Lingfu guessed.
Of all her mistress's subordinates, only Lin Li holds a position in the palace.
Wu Weiwei frowned.
"Maybe!"
After everyone left, Wu Weiwei picked up one of the peaches and smelled it.
Peaches?
He even insisted that I try it?
Could something terrible have happened in the palace?
Looking at the basket of peaches, Wu Weiwei was torn.
"Miss, since Steward Lin has asked you to try it, how about I take a bite for you?"
Lingfu picked up a fist-sized peach from the basket, and just as she was about to take a bite, Wu Weiwei had a sudden inspiration.
Then he stopped her.
"No need to taste it!"
"What's wrong, young lady! Has this peach been poisoned?"
Lingfu glanced at Taozi, her face filled with lingering fear.
Wu Weiwei glared at her.
"What are you thinking about, you silly girl?"
"If someone really wanted to poison someone, who would be so foolish as to put it in a peach?"
"Young lady, why did you stop me from eating?"
And what did Steward Lin mean by sending peaches?
Lingfu rubbed her forehead, unable to understand.
"Peach, peach, Lin Li is trying to make me flee the capital!"
And it was a secret escape!
Aside from that, Wu Weiwei couldn't understand the point of Lin Li giving her peaches.
"Miss, should we send Little Stone to inquire? Perhaps Steward Lin doesn't mean it that way?"
Wu Weiwei shook her head.
"It's not the ten thousand that's scary, it's the one in ten thousand."
"Wanqiu, you and Lingfu pack quickly, we'll leave the city immediately!"
Since Lin Li was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard in the palace, his explicit statement indicated that the emperor intended to harm her.
Since that's the case, she has to listen to him.
Seeing her master's swift and decisive actions, Lingfu hesitated and said, "Miss, what if Steward Lin just brought you peaches to eat?"
Wu Weiwei glanced at her.
"At this point, do you think he has the time or inclination for that?"
"Alright, Lingfu, stop talking so much. The young lady told us to pack up, so we'll pack up!"
After tidying up, the group quickly loaded their luggage onto the carriage.
On the carriage, Wu Weiwei looked back at her vast mansion, feeling a pang of reluctance.
This is the first property Qingzhu has bought for herself. If possible, she will definitely come back!
"go!"
Not long after Wu Weiwei's carriage left, a luxurious carriage stopped behind her in Meilong Lane.
Eunuch Huai arrived at the Wu residence with the imperial edict and a group of people.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock!"
"Hey, is anyone inside?"
After knocking for a long time without anyone answering the door, Eunuch Huai had a bad feeling.
Did they run away?
How did Wu Weiwei get the news that she had led her people here without stopping?
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Emperor Cheng was overjoyed, thinking he was about to receive good news.
To his surprise, Wang Zhi told him that Wang Zhi had already escaped the capital when Wang Zhi led troops to besiege the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.
"What about Wu Weiwei? Was she brought to the palace?"
Emperor Mingcheng's face was dark and sullen as he tried his best to suppress his temper, which was about to explode.
Everyone's eyes turned to the person who was hurrying in from outside the hall.
Grandpa Huai walked shakily into the main hall.
"This old servant pays respect to His Majesty!"
Looking at the pale-faced eunuch Huai, Emperor Mingcheng had a bad feeling.
"Grandpa Huai, where is Wu Weiwei?"
The hunched-over eunuch knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Wu Weiwei...she escaped!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingcheng's face turned as red as a pig's liver, looking extremely ugly.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Madam Wu received advance notice. This old servant had just arrived at Mei Lane when I heard that she had run away with her people!"
"Useless! You bunch of useless trash!"
"What have you all been doing, feeding me? You can't even do this simple task properly!"
Emperor Cheng of Ming could no longer tolerate it.
He grabbed something and threw it at Eunuch Huai.
"what!"
Everyone heard Grandpa Huai shout, followed by a "thump".
He collapsed in the main hall, his head covered in blood.
Le'an County.
The princess opened the letter in her hand, and after reading it, she let out a soft hum.
The letter was sent from the capital.
Lu Hanting has now become the number one enemy of the Great Wei, and the emperor has given him the title of a traitor.
She also heard that Wang Zhi had recently dispatched 100,000 imperial guards to capture Lu Hanting, but unexpectedly he still managed to escape.
Moreover, this escape actually managed to capture the old emperor of the Nanzhao Kingdom, allowing them to use the emperor as a puppet to command the other lords.
He became the guardian king behind the Nanzhao Kingdom.
The emperor's intention was for her to cooperate with him in sending troops to besiege and suppress the Nanzhao Kingdom.
We must make the people of Nanzhao hand over Lu Hanting, this traitorous minister.
Seeing the princess's furrowed brows, Ling Chu whispered:
"Your Highness, I heard that the Emperor sent Luo Ronghuai to the Princess's house to deliver an imperial edict, intending to detain the Princess in the palace to control Commander Lu."
However, the princess received advance notice and fled the capital…
"What, there is such a thing?"
