After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chu Huanyan came back to her senses and looked at Xian Yue, "Why do you ask?"

"You obviously have a brand, but you don't use it directly to get it. Instead, you go to such trouble. Isn't it because you are afraid of being known?" Xian Yue's tone was a bit nervous.

Chu Huanyan smiled, "Indeed, no matter what I said in the palace, Emperor Xiao can't be completely relieved, so there must still be people watching."

Hearing Chu Huanyan's words, Xian Yue's face suddenly became more nervous, and then she spoke as if to comfort herself.

"Then, Miss, you have quietly taken away the evidence now, so it shouldn't arouse any more suspicion, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case." The smile on Chu Huanyan's face faded a little, and she shook her head gently, "I quietly took the evidence, just because I didn't want to attract attention so quickly. But this does not guarantee that Emperor Xiao will accept You won’t find this musical instrument shop when you come down.”

As long as you pay attention to this place and send someone to investigate carefully, you will know sooner or later that Jiang Zhou has been here before and stored things here.

In this situation, the only competition between them and Xiao Emperor was speed. She discovered the wooden sign first, so she got the evidence first, that's all. As for the rest, sooner or later I can't hide it.

"Then what should we do?" Xian Yue pursed her lips and looked at her young lady worriedly, "Miss, why don't you leave the imperial city first and go to Cuiheng Mountain to find His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Leaving hastily at this time will arouse suspicion." After saying that, looking at Xian Yue's nervous look, Chu Huanyan comforted her, "Don't worry, Emperor Xiao will not attack me easily."

At least not for now.

The next day, at night, when Chu Huanyan was preparing to go to bed, she received news that Mr. Shen Xi was seriously ill.

"Can this news be confirmed?" Chu Huanyan frowned as she looked at the boy who reported the news.

"Miss Qizhen, there should be no problem. According to your instructions, we have been paying attention to the news. This has just been sent back." The young man quickly replied.

"How serious is it?" Xianyue stood aside and couldn't help asking.

"According to the news coming back, it looks very dangerous. There is no medicine or food available. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for long."

Chu Huanyan's heart sank, and she said in a daze: "My wife passed away not long ago, I didn't expect the teacher to..."

"Miss, don't be too sad. Maybe, maybe the news sent back is wrong. Maybe Mr. Shen Xi is in good health." Xian Yue advised.

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't get better. The teacher and the teacher's wife have a deep love. Now that the teacher's wife is gone, I'm afraid that the teacher... even if he can be cured, he doesn't want to live alone in this world."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Huanyan said to Xianyue: "I have to see the teacher."

"But Miss, didn't you say during the day that you can't leave rashly under such circumstances?"

"I can't care so much anymore. I didn't get any news when my wife went there, and I didn't see her for the last time. Now that the teacher is seriously ill, I have to go see him no matter what."

Chu Huanyan's tone was serious, with a hint of indignity. When she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly paused and gave instructions to the boy again.

"Go and find out, is Mu Feng from the Third Prince's Mansion still in the Third Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes." The boy responded quickly.

An hour later, Xianyue simply packed her luggage for Chu Huanyan and waited until dawn the next day to leave. The boy who had inquired about the news also came back.

"Miss Qizhen, according to the news we heard, Mu Feng has left the Third Prince's Mansion this morning and is leaving the city immediately."

"I know." Chu Huanyan nodded, "It seems that he has also received the news."

After sending the boy away, Chu Huanyan sat in the room with a solemn expression.

"Miss, don't worry, we will leave the city early tomorrow morning, and we will definitely catch up." Xian Yue comforted, "You'd better take the time to take a rest now. When you start to rush, you won't be able to have a good rest. ."

It's late at night now, and the city gates are closed, making it impossible to get out. There is no use for the young lady to sit here.

"Xianyue, have I ever mentioned teacher and mistress to you?"

Xianyue sighed, "I heard the young lady mention it once or twice, but I didn't say much in detail."

In the past, the young lady supported the Ning'an Hou Mansion. Not only did she have a lot of troubles, but she also had to work hard to run the shop. The young lady mentioned very little about the past.

"They were really nice to me. Speaking of which, I was too ruthless and heartless. I never visited them after I left." Chu Huanyan said in a low tone.

Although it was two lives apart, since the Qushui River Banquet, she would often think of some past memories, which were fragmentary but very warm.

"Miss..." Xian Yue knelt down and held her lady's hand, "Although I have never met Mr. Chen Xi or his wife, I know that they will not blame the lady."

Seeing Xian Yue's serious look, Chu Huanyan tried her best to curl her lips and smile.

"Okay, you have to leave with me tomorrow, so go and rest early."

"Miss, slave..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Chu Huanyan gently patted the back of Xian Yue's hand, "Go and put out the candles in this room."

"Yes." Xianyue nodded, and quickly walked to the side and extinguished the candles one by one.

The candlelight swayed, and the shadows cast by the light also swayed, adding a touch of depression to the silence.

Above the window, a black shadow flashed past and disappeared as the candlelight went out...

The next day.

After Chu Huanyan arranged the affairs of the Hou Mansion, she quickly left.

In addition to Xianyue and four or five servants who were following her on the surface, there were four secret guards following her secretly.

After leaving the imperial city and heading south, we had to hurry up, so we didn't take much rest along the way. It wasn't until noon that the carriage stopped, and the group rested in the forest to eat some dry food.

"Miss, drink some water." Xian Yue walked up to Chu Huanyan holding the water bag.

Because I was hurrying on my way, I didn't stop when I passed by the inn half an hour ago. Now I can only make do with it in the forest for the time being.

"I'm not thirsty." Chu Huanyan shook her head and looked at the forest as she spoke.

The sun is shining brightly today, and the woods it shines on are warm and have a bit of a spring atmosphere.

"Miss, the official road in front seems to be blocked." The servant frowned and reported.

"What's going on?" Xianyue asked.

"It seems that a carriage lost control and crashed into the oncoming convoy, causing a commotion. Things were scattered all over the floor. They are now being slowly cleaned up." The servant paused, "I estimate that if you want to pass, you will have to wait. a period of time."

"Miss, how about we rest in the forest for a while?" Xian Yue said to Chu Huanyan.

The latter frowned, "Is there any other way?"

"Yes." The young man said quickly, "Miss, I know a way. You can avoid that part of the road by going west through the forest."

Chu Huanyan's eyes fell on the boy, "Have you passed by?"
