365 The truth_2

The young eunuch looked at him, hesitating to speak.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hesitate.”

“Lord Xu, I’m a little scared.”

Don’t be afraid, I’ll be gentle … Xu Qi ‘an laughed and said,”don’t worry. I won’t let you know what you’re not supposed to know.” Just be good and listen to me. ”

The young eunuch heaved a sigh of relief. I’m relieved to hear that.

Xu Qi ‘an had thought that he would be able to share a carriage with huaiqing, but he had not expected the heartless huaiqing to give him a horse.

Sitting on the horse, Xu Qi ‘an followed the princess’s carriage to the Imperial uncle’s mansion. He couldn’t help but think of his beloved little mare.

When he was attacked yesterday, he drove the little mare away. After killing three assassins, he went to the Yamen to recuperate. Until now, he still did not know the whereabouts of the little mare.

However, before he entered the palace this morning, he had instructed his colleagues to find the little mare.

The car window rolled down, and huaiqing poked his face out. His facial features were flawless, his nose was sharp, and his lips were bright red. The corners of his lips were as exquisite as a carving. Her beautiful eyes were like clear autumn water.

“Even if Imperial mother really did take the blame for Imperial uncle, the person behind the scenes still hasn’t been found.” She sighed.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t answer, but asked, ” what I don’t understand even more is why the mastermind did not attack the Queen until now.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly.

……..

The state uncle’s Manor was in the Imperial City. Xu Qi ‘an and the eldest Princess arrived at the state uncle’s Manor and asked the guards. They found out that the state uncle was not in the Imperial City, but in the old mansion in the inner city.

“Go and ask, when did state uncle move to the old estate?” Huaiqing rolled down the window and ordered the accompanying guards.

“This morning,” the guard replied.

This morning? Emperor Yuan jing was the one who had proposed to depose as the Empress during the court meeting this morning … Xu Qi ‘an subconsciously looked at huaiqing and realized that his first wife was also looking at him.

“To the Shangguan old mansion.” Princess huaiqing said coldly.

The luxurious carriage made of gold-threaded nanmu slowly drove out of the Imperial City. It took more than an hour to reach the Shangguan family’s ancestral home.

Surprisingly, the Shangguan family’s old house was only a courtyard with three entrances. It was not much bigger than the mansion that Xu Qi ‘an had bought. Of course, in terms of exquisiteness and luxury, it was definitely superior to the Xu residence.

Moreover, there were many guards here.

Xu Qi ‘an took advantage of the carriage’s slow stop and took out a piece of Qi observation paper that he had prepared on the road. He lit it up with Qi.

The carriage stopped outside Shangguan’s residence. Huaiqing stepped on a small stool and went straight into the residence. The guards at the door did not dare to stop him.

On the way, huaiqing told Xu Qi ‘an about the Shangguan family’s history. The Shangguan family was not a big family. His maternal grandfather, Shangguan qingguan, was the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the scholar of the East Pavilion.

But this was all after Empress Shangguan entered the Feng Qi Palace.
