Chapter 110 The Trails Got Disconnected!

"What if they don't agree?" Mrs. Liu asked apprehensively.

Grand Mentor Liu snorted, "If they don't agree, I have my own way to let them agree. However, I don't think that they dare to disagree."

Then he walked out of the room, let the butler saddle up, and headed for the palace directly.

Grand Mentor Liu got out of the carriage and went directly into the residence of the Third Prince, regardless of the guards' notification at the gate.

At this moment, Chushi Weiming was having fun with his newly-selected beauty, and the flirty laughter could be heard at a distance!

Grand Mentor Liu frowned tightly after hearing that! At such a young age, he was incredible.

If Yiyi were not... How could he betrothed his daughter to him!

Then, Grand Mentor Liu walked to Chushi Weiming. He had not noticed that, so Grand Mentor Liu deliberately coughed twice!

"Who's there? Who dares to cast a chill over me!" Chushi Weiming, who was a little drunk, said with a hiccup.

Meanwhile, the guards also ran after Grand Mentor Liu, "Your Highness, please forgive us. We could not stop Grand Mentor Liu. That's why..."

"It's Grand Mentor Liu. You... You all get out." Hearing the guard's words, Chushi Weiming saw Grand Mentor Liu standing aside, and then said to the beauty beside him.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After these people had left.

Grand Mentor Liu sneered beside him, "Ridiculous!"

"Why does Grand Mentor Liu come today? Would you like to join me and drink some wine?" Then, Chushi Weiming brought the cup filled with wine to Grand Mentor Liu.

Then Grand Mentor Liu pushed away from the cup that Chushi Weiming gave him, "Your Highness, I have some business to discuss with you, so it is inappropriate to drink."

"Tell me what you want to discuss. I will listen." Then Chushi Weiming tossed off the cup.

Grand Mentor Liu was very dissatisfied at this moment, but he still said, "Yiyi is pregnant now, let your mother plan ahead!"

"What? Yiyi is pregnant!" After hearing the words of Grand Mentor Liu, Chushi Weiming immediately got sobered.

Then he muttered softly, "How? How could this be?"

"I don't have much time to talk to you here. Today I want to tell you that If I don't see the letter of the marriage granted issued by the Emperor in seven days, I think imperial concubine Xiao will know what the consequence will be."

After having finished speaking, Grand Mentor Liu turned around and left.

Chushi Weiming was originally shocked by the news that Liu Yiyi was pregnant. Unexpectedly, the Grand Mentor Liu looked down upon him. When Chushi Weiming could not see the figure of the Grand Mentor Liu anymore, he threw the cups on the table to the ground violently.

However, a moment later, he became rational again and yelled, "Jingruan, saddle up! Go to the palace!"

...

Jiang Wei went out of Jing City and inquired all the way. Finally, she got the information on the location of Xinghua Village.

Then she mounted the horse and went towards Xinghua Village.

Xinghua Village located in the southwest of Jing City, and the distance was about twenty miles.

When Jiang Wei reached a village, she saw a big rock standing on the edge of the village, with the words "Xinghua Village" written on it. Seeing this, Jiang Wei jumped off the horse and tied the horse to a big tree. She walked into the village.

A few children happened to be playing at the entrance of the village. Jiang Wei stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Do you know where Zhou Xinghua's home is?"

Perhaps these children had not seen any person nonnative, so they ran away swiftly.

Jiang Wei had to move on.

At this moment, a man in his mid to late forties came along, and Jiang Wei hurried forward and asked, "Sir, is there someone called Zhou Xinghua in this village?"

"Why are you looking for Zhou Xinghua?" This middle-aged man stared Jiang Wei up and down, and then asked.

Hearing what the man had said, it seemed that it was true that Zhou Xinghua was in this village, so she smiled at once and said, "I'm here to look for the relative."

"Look for the relative? Girl, I think you are late. If you come a few days earlier, you may meet her for the last time!" The man shook his head and said to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but frown after hearing his words, "So, Zhou Xinghua is dead!"

"Yes! As an old lady, she was so miserable. She had no child, so it was the village head who called some people to bury her together." Then, the man sighed.

Then he asked Jiang Wei, "What kind of relatives are you? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"Ah... Oh! In the early years, she worked with my mother in the same mansion. She got along with my mother very well. Now my mother is old and she is always on her mind. So, she let me visit her. I didn't expect that..." Jiang Wei said and she looked a little sad!

Then Jiang Wei said, "Sir, could you take me to her grave? I want to burn a joss stick for Aunt Zhou, which can make my mother relieve."

Then that man nodded and took Jiang Wei to the cemetery where Zhou Xinghua was buried.

Jiang Wei arrived at the cemetery, and the man led her to a tombstone. "This is the old lady's tomb."

It read Tomb of Mrs. Zhou. Jiang Wei looked carefully and found that the soil on the graveyard was fresh, right. Then Jiang Wei pretended to kowtow in front of the grave several times.

That man stood aside and said, "If the old lady knows that someone else is still concerned about her in the world, she will rest in peace."

Then, Jiang Wei stood up and walked to the man.

"Sir, here is something to show my gratitude. Please distribute it to everyone and thank them for helping on my behalf." Jiang Wei took out some pieces of taels and gave them to this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man refused at once, "That's impermissible. The neighbors should help each other. I can't take your money!"

Seeing this man waved his hands, again and again, Jiang Wei knew that the people in the countryside were unlike those in Jing City. These villagers had no scheming, so they lived a happy life, which has always been her dream life.

However, she could only dream of it. For as long as she could remember, she grew up with training, and then began to take missions in secret.

She was not transferred to protect Yang Zijin until Yang Zijin appeared.

"Sir, you just take it!" Jiang Wei put the money in the hand of the man. Then she turned around and left.

That man looked a little embarrassed, so he caught up, "Hey... Girl, wait..."

Jiang Wei quickly walked towards the entrance of the village, came to the place where the horse was tied, untied the reins of the horse, and leaped on the horse. Jiang Wei held her horse's belly with her legs, and the horse started running!

It was just that the trial got disconnected when they just had some clues.

At this moment, Chushi Weiming has arrived at the palace of imperial concubine Xiao.

"Ming, why do you have time to visit me today?" Imperial concubine Xiao smiled when she saw Chushi Weiming.

Chushi Weiming glanced at the maids who were standing around, "Mother, I want to tell you something!"

"You all get out!" Then imperial concubine Xiao sat upright.

She picked up the teacups on the table, used the bowl cover to skim off the tea leaves, blew gently, sipped, and put down the cup. Then she asked Chushi Weiming, "What happened?"

"Mother, Liu Yiyi was pregnant." Chushi Weiming said, watching imperial concubine Xiao's face!

After hearing that, the imperial concubine Xiao was shocked thoroughly, rose to her full height, and smote the table, "What? You said that Liu Yiyi was pregnant!"

"Mother, today Grand Mentor Liu came to me and he wanted my father to grant the marriage as soon as possible. The time limit is seven days. So I come to you to figure out the solution!" Chushi Weiming said with his head down.

Hearing Chushi Weiming say so, imperial concubine Xiao couldn't help getting angry!

Now the trouble had not been over yet. If she asked the Emperor directly to grant the marriage on this point, she was afraid that others would have something on them, and the pillow-talk of others with the emperor would be inevitable.

After all, she was not the only person who wanted this throne!

Now she was led by Grand Mentor Liu.

Thinking of this, imperial concubine Xiao was very angry, "Look at what you have done! Figure out a solution. What kind of solution can I figure out!"

Seeing that Princess Xiao was angry, Chushi Weiming immediately knelt.

At this moment, imperial concubine Xiao thought with her head down and walked to Chushi Weiming to support him to stand up after a while. "Now, this would be the only solution that we can use!"

"Mother, I am listening." Chushi Weiming said quickly when he heard that there was a solution.

Then, imperial concubine Xiao said gently to Chushi Weiming's ear, "Tomorrow, you go to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility..."

Chushi Weiming repeatedly nodded after hearing his mother's words, "Everything is up to you, mother."

"Well. Now you go and prepare some supplements. Send them to Grand Mentor Liu's mansion to comfort him first!" At this time, imperial concubine Xiao walked to the chair, sat down, and said to Chushi Weiming.

"Yes, mother. I will retreat first!"

Then Chushi Weiming left.

After Chushi Weiming left, imperial concubine Xiao gently rubbed her temples.

Now that what was done was done, they could only take a risk. If it would be done successfully, it would not necessarily be a bad thing. Now the Crown Prince and all other Princes had not yet married. Even if there were a few Princes who had married, people had never heard that any one of them had baby.

If Yiyi gave birth to this child, it would be the first grandson of the emperor of Dongling, and the emperor would be very happy by then!

But this would be all the matter in the future. The pressing matter of the moment was to figure out a way to let the emperor agree to grant the marriage!

...

It was already supper time when Jiang Wei returned to the mansion. Yang Zijin, who was having dinner, saw Jiang Wei standing outside the door. She finished her dinner quickly, got up, and said, "Dad, Qingcheng is full, so that I will go back first."

Although she had just quarreled with Duke of Mu, Yang Zijin knew that it was Li Mingzi who played the deuce. She could tell from Duke of Mu's eyes that he still concerned about her in his mind.

Duke of Mu responded with a sound of "hum"!

With permission, Yang Zijin hurried to the door.

At this time, Li Mingzi who was aside said, "Master, look..."

"Mother, maybe sister is tired, so she went back to rest first." Li Mingzi was interrupted by Mu Yunong who was sitting in front of her before she could have finished her words.

Then, Li Mingzi looked at Mu Yunong angrily, but Mu Yunong turned a blind eye to that. She picked up the chicken legs in front of her and put them in Mu Qiu's bowl. "Brother, you often stay in the barracks. You rarely come home. Come on. Eat more!"

"Sister, what's wrong with you today? I haven't seen you for just a few days. How could I feel that you are different from what you used to be?" Mu Qiu said with a smile.

At this moment, Mu Yunong's corners of the mouth slightly raised, "Brother, what do you say? Your sister will finally grow up one day. Don't keep judging me with your former opinions."

"Good! The younger sister grows up. So I will also give you a chicken leg to eat!" said Mu Qiu. He also put a piece of the chicken leg in Mu Yunong's bowl.

Mu Yunong said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

Li Mingzi saw that, and she couldn't help but frown at Mu Yunong. "What happened to Yunong today?" She thought.

However, due to the presence of Duke of Mu, Li Mingzi had to hold her doubts and continued having the dinner with her head down.

And on the other side, Jiang Wei greeted Yang Zijin when she saw her come out, "Your Highness..."

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go back to the room to talk." Then Yang Zijin walked quickly to her residence!

When they arrived at the house, Yang Zijin asked immediately, "How is it going? Did you find it?"

"Your Highness, I have actually found it. However..." Jiang Wei stopped while she was saying.

Then Yang Zijin quickly asked again, "However what?"

"However, Zhou Xinghua died a few days ago!" Jiang Wei said, looking at Yang Zijin.

After hearing that, Yang Zijin looked incredulous, "What are you saying? She's dead?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Then, I had also checked Zhou Xinghua's grave in person. The soil there was indeed fresh." Jiang Wei continued saying.
