Ji Wanrong didn't know what happened at the door of Xie's house.
She was already very tired when she got off the carriage, and fell asleep directly after taking a bath and changing clothes.
Early the next morning, Jian Qing knocked on her bedroom door.
"Miss, Miss Qingshi of Dali Temple is here. His carriage is outside Xie's Mansion, and he is waiting for you to go to the sanatorium in the suburbs of Beijing!"
When Ji Wanrong heard this, he hurriedly got up from the bed.
She looked at the sky outside the house. It was just getting dark at the moment. It must have gotten brighter when they reached the outskirts of Beijing.
Shi Heng came as early as possible, maybe he didn't even sleep after thinking about the case all night.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanrong quickly washed up and immediately put on a simple riding outfit. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast before he hurried out the door.
When Ji Wanrong strode out of Xie's house, he saw Shi Heng, neatly dressed in a round-collared plain robe, standing at the door of Xie's house.
His upright and awe-inspiring appearance actually made the people coming and going feel that the sky above their heads had suddenly become brighter.
"Master Shi, you came early. Have you already contacted Chen Lijuan?"
"In other words, after Mrs. Xu spent one night with Chen Lijuan, a daughter she has not seen for eight years, did she notice anything strange?"
When Ji Wanrong hurried to Shi Heng's side, she asked him impatiently.
Shi Heng smiled and nodded towards her: "I sent my confidants to find Chen Lijuan before dawn. Without waiting for her to delay, I asked her to lead the way to the outskirts of Beijing. She had just left not long ago."
"Also with us are Mr. Yuan, Eunuch Gao and His Royal Highness the King of Chu. His Majesty did not come in person."
His Majesty did not come because the terrain in the suburbs of Beijing was extremely steep and there was a risk of accidents. His Majesty personally appointed Eunuch Gao, which also explained his attitude.
Ji Wanrong nodded.
"Oh, by the way, there is also His Highness King Han." Shi Heng seemed to suddenly remember something and looked towards his side.
Only then did Ji Wanrong notice Mo Jiecheng, who was standing beside the carriage and had been silent.
When she came, she only looked at Shi Heng and didn't see Mo Jiecheng. When she took a look now, she discovered the dark blue under his eyes and the bags under his eyes that were almost drooping to the corners of his mouth.
Ji Wanrong was slightly startled: "Mo Jiecheng, why do you look like you haven't slept well?"
Shi Heng also looked up and down at Mo Jiecheng's clothes at this moment, and his eyes suddenly shrank.
Looking at him again, it was as if he had not closed his eyes all night because he was worried about the case, and his slightly red and swollen eyes seemed to be crying for the people who died tragically.
Shi Heng boasted that he was concerned about the case and solved the case quickly, but he also had a short sleep last night. Looking at Mo Jiecheng's appearance, he felt very ashamed in his heart, "His Royal Highness, the clothes he wore yesterday are the same." body?"
"I am really ashamed of myself."
Mo Jiecheng raised his head to look at him, his eyebrows knitted together. He didn't understand Shi Heng's words at first, but he looked at the clothes Shi Heng was wearing.
The green bamboo made of silver threads looks so regular on the blue clothes. Standing next to Ji Wanrong, they seem to be a beautiful couple.
Mo Jiecheng looked at his dusty clothes again, and his eyes suddenly started to feel a little sour.
Zhao Runchu's precedent made him feel a bit dissatisfied, and even Shi Heng could hear a bit of ridicule about his smelly body.
Mo Jiecheng was so sad that he almost fainted, but he still said firmly: "No, it's not the clothes from yesterday. Although they look the same, I also took a shower and changed clothes last night before coming to see Qinghui County." host."
Mo Jiecheng swore that when he saw Ji Wanrong in the future, he would dress more handsomely than all the men and compete with them fiercely.
His heart was in turmoil, but his eyes were still stubborn so that no one could see his inferiority complex.
After Mo Jiecheng said this, he was afraid that Ji Wanrong would really smell the scent on his body, so he said firmly: "It's useless to talk more, Master Shi, there is no need to be verbose. We should rush to the outskirts of Beijing as soon as possible to prevent the traitor from doing so." There is a slight chance that people can take action.”
After Mo Jiecheng said this, he got on the carriage without hesitation.
His words made Shi Heng admire him even more, "His Royal Highness, King Han, is concerned about the case, and I am impressed by him."
Shi Heng finished speaking to Ji Wanrong with great admiration, but Ji Wanrong felt that something was very wrong. She squinted her eyes and looked at the carriage, only to see that the window that had been opened a crack was suddenly lowered. .
Mo Jiecheng was very strange today. Ji Wanrong didn't dare to ride the same carriage with him, so he directly asked Xie Zhai's boy to bring another fast horse over.
She quickly got on her horse and rode in front of the carriage side by side with Shi Heng.
Mo Jiecheng waited and waited in the original carriage until the carriage started, but Ji Wanrong did not come up...
He leaned down and smelled the clothes on his body.
No smell?
Is his nose malfunctioning?
Mo Jiecheng didn't know how long he struggled in the sea of suffering before he felt that the carriage under him had stopped again.
It turned out that they had already reached the outskirts of the city, and even arrived at the boundary not far from the sanatorium according to Chen Lijuan's instructions.
When Mo Jiecheng opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, what he saw was a steep cliff, and many officers and soldiers were already surrounded on the cliff.
The steep cliff looked bottomless, and it even reminded Mo Jiecheng of bad memories from the past... That time, it also happened just above the cliff.
He eagerly looked for Ji Wanrong, and saw Ji Wanrong standing in the middle of the crowd. He saw the cliff from the corner of his eye, and his face turned slightly pale.
She stood behind Shi Heng, a little far away from the cliff, and still managed to talk to Eunuch Gao.
Shi Heng noticed Ji Wanrong's sudden change in expression and helped her further inside with one hand.
Eunuch Gao and Chen Lijuan have already arrived, but Mo Junfeng has not yet arrived. Shi Heng specially sent two government officials to guard Chen Lijuan.
When Ji Wanrong and others arrived, there was no need to wait for Mo Junfeng. Shi Heng asked Chen Lijuan to point out the location of the nursing home.
"Master Shi, the location of the sanatorium... is under this cliff. If you want to see it, you have to jump off the cliff."
As Chen Lijuan spoke, she raised her head slightly and showed a harmless smile towards Ji Wanrong.
Ji Wanrong gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly into fists hanging by his sides.
The bad memories and despair from the past suddenly came to her mind, and she felt that her body suddenly began to feel cold, and her legs even began to feel weak.
"My king is going down."
A firm voice came from Ji Wanrong's side.
