Chapter 133 Cannon Fodder Jin 16 Targeted by Slaves
*
The weather in early spring is still a bit cold, and Yun Wu is most afraid of the cold. There is still a heater burning in the boudoir.
She was sitting on the soft couch wearing a thin light apricot dress, holding a brush in her hand and practicing calligraphy absentmindedly.
In the past, her handwriting had no shape at all, but now she often copies it from Xie Rongjing's previous handwriting, and her writing is much neater and more beautiful.
At this time, Chun Xing hurriedly walked in from outside. Yun Wu put down the brush in her hand, quickly looked at Chun Xing who walked in and asked:
"How is it?"
"Miss, I have sent people to look for me. It's been half a month and there is still no news about Xie Rongjing."
Chun Xing frowned slightly and said that after the young lady came back, she asked her to find someone to find out if there was any news about Xie Rongjing.
But he seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news from the towns near the inn.
Yun Wu bit her teeth lightly, her amber eyes filled with confusion, and then listened to Chun Xing continue to say:
"Miss, let's not look for him anymore. He might have fled to the ends of the earth."
Chun Xing comforted her, while Yun Wu could only nod her head and absentmindedly put aside the piece of rice paper she had just written on.
She thought of the note Xie Rongjing left for her that day. She couldn't understand what "waiting for him" meant. Will he come back?He didn't say clearly where he would be waiting for him.
No, no, he is just a slave, why should she wait for him?snort……
There was a little worry in Yun Wu's beautiful eyes. There was no trace of him anywhere. Could it be that he was already dead...
"Miss, don't think about anything else. Your Highness is here. Miss, you'd better go out and meet him."
Chun Xing said quickly, then helped Yun Wu stand up and quickly put her on her robe.
Yun Wu heard from her father that the matter on her way back to her hometown to sweep the tomb was not brought to light, and she was told not to mention it to others, so she has not left the house in the past half month since she came back.
Now that it's a new year, she doesn't have to go to school anymore, and she's happy to be free, but she didn't expect that Wei Congyu would suddenly visit.
When Yun Wu arrived at the main hall in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw Prime Minister Yun and Wei Congyu talking to each other.
"Ah Wu is here..."
Wei Congyu looked a little happy. He stood up from his seat and looked at Yun Wu, who was wearing an apricot dress and had a beautiful face.
Compared with Wei Congyu's affectionate attitude, Yun Wu seemed more respectful and distant towards him.
"The courtier has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Ah Wu, there is no need to be polite."
Wei Congyu's voice was gentle, and he immediately asked his men to hand a box of things to Chun Xing.
"I heard that you haven't gone out in the past half month. I was afraid that you would be bored, so I found some rare treasures to give you."
"My dear, thank you, Your Highness."
Yun Wu thanked her dryly, but she couldn't think of anything to say.
Prime Minister Yun stood aside and watched Wei Congyu calmly. As expected, he was very attentive to his daughter.
Prime Minister Yun once again thought of everything that had been secretly investigated before, and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.
After Wei Congyu's last plan failed, he secretly started a full-scale war with the imperial concubine faction. His mother was also urging him to win over the prime minister as his backer as soon as possible.
He looked at Ah Wu who had grown up with him. She had been cute since she was a child, and everyone liked her. She became even more beautiful when she grew up, and Jin Yao also loved to cling to her.
Wei Congyu looked at her with a somewhat obsessed expression. Ah Wu and his childhood sweetheart, logically speaking, they should be a match made in heaven. He was a little shaken in his heart. Such a stunning beauty should be worthy of him.
"My mother has not seen you for many years. There will be a banquet in my mother's harem in a while. Would you like to attend it with me?"
"Your Highness, my little girl has not learned the palace rules yet, so she should wait until later to enter the palace to see the Queen."
Prime Minister Yun said calmly, and then he looked at Yun Wu with kind eyes and said:
"Ah Wu, please go back first. His Highness came today and has something important to discuss with dad."
"Then Ah Wu will retreat first."
Yun Wu blinked her beautiful eyes and then nodded and said, she didn't want to go into the palace either. She had seen the Queen when she was a child, and for some reason she was a little afraid of the nobles in the palace.
Prime Minister Yun led Wei Congyu to the inner hall behind the screen in the main hall, and he also screened away all the servants.
Wei Congyu and Prime Minister Yun sat opposite each other, and he looked at the courtier in front of him, his father's most trusted minister.
If it were anyone else, he could go directly to his father to propose a marriage, but this could not be done with Prime Minister Yun. In the past, his father joked that he wanted Yun Wu to marry into the royal family and let Prime Minister Yun choose a suitable son-in-law.
However, Prime Minister Yun declined politely and said that everything had to depend on Yun Wu's will. His father also nodded and agreed. Therefore, if he wanted to get engaged with the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had to make some efforts on his own.
"Your Highness, why are you here today? You might as well tell me directly."
"Master Yun, Gu and Ah Wu grew up together since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts. Queen Mother and Jin Yao also like Ah Wu very much..."
Wei Congyu's voice was gentle and eloquent. After that incident failed, he didn't know whether Prime Minister Yun knew that it was related to him.
But when he came today, Prime Minister Yun still treated him as before, which made him feel more relieved, so he wanted to speak out about the engagement so that he could secure his seat as soon as possible.
"Gu Xiang... I want to marry Ah Wu as Gu's crown princess."
Wei Congyu said in a serious tone and looked at Prime Minister Yun tentatively. His expression was as usual, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He gritted his teeth and then continued to add:
"I know that Master Yun loves Ah Wu and doesn't want her to get married early, so just make a marriage contract first. Then Ah Wu will be the future crown princess, and Gu will definitely treat Ah Wu well."
"Your Highness, my daughter has no intention of getting engaged now, and I don't want her to marry Your Highness."
Prime Minister Yun's weather-beaten eyes were deep and deep, which made Wei Congyu's heart tighten. Prime Minister Yun's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and he always felt that his thoughts were being read.
Prime Minister Yun made it clear, even though he also said later that he would never marry the second prince.
But Wei Congyu's face was still a little heavy when he left, and the conversation ended unhappily.
Prime Minister Yun stood in the main hall with his hands behind his back, looking at Wei Congyu's retreating figure.
"Humph……"
Prime Minister Yun snorted coldly at Wei Congyu's back, and then changed his elegant civil servant style and punched and kicked Wei Congyu's back.
Don't think that he doesn't know what Wei Congyu has done behind his back, and still wants to win him over with marriage? !
He was so shameless that he wanted to marry my daughter. If I hadn't been wearing official uniform, I would have slapped him twice!
Prime Minister Yun clenched his fists and coughed twice, and soon returned to his demeanor as the prime minister at the head of hundreds of officials. He glanced at the screen and said loudly:
"Come out."
Sure enough, a petite figure moved out from the curtain of the screen little by little.
"Daddy..."
