Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Yan Xi stared at the note in his hand in a daze.

Su Qian asked someone to secretly hint to her about Ji Youran's dire situation, and then that person handed her the note.

The note was the size of a palm and had only four big words on it: "Wait for me to come back."

This is Su Qian's handwriting.

A strange feeling surged in Yanxi's heart, but was quickly covered up.

She put the note on the table, turned around and left the room.

The note was blown off by the wind and got stuck in the gap of the windowsill.

When we arrived at the gate, the guard at the door of Beijing Marquis Mansion asked for the reason for leaving the mansion as usual.

Yan Xi calmly took out the token to leave the mansion and spoke as usual:

"Go out of the house to buy medicinal herbs for my wife."

The guards were just doing their routine. They recognized Yan Xi's face and let him go without giving it much thought.

Yan Xi walked out of the Shangshu Mansion and now walked out of the Beijinghou Mansion.

From then on, she was a completely free person.

After leaving Beijing Marquis Mansion, the first thing she did was to change her appearance.

She changed her clothes and her usual attire, so that at least people wouldn't associate her with the maid beside Ji Youran when they saw her.

Then he hid in a small house he bought in the capital.

She was not in a hurry to do anything as soon as she left the house. The most important thing now was to get some information.

What exactly happened in Beijinghou Mansion remains a mystery.

You always need to know what stage things have reached so that you can adjust your direction at any time.

The affairs of the Beijinghou Mansion were a hot topic. There was no need to inquire about them. Just find some ordinary people who liked to watch the fun and you would know everything.

The first thing that shocked the whole capital: the eldest son of the Beijing Marquis’s Mansion and the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion divorced.

It is said that the eldest son proposed divorce as soon as he returned from the palace.

At first, Miss Ji was extremely reluctant. Not knowing what the eldest master said, Miss Ji had no choice but to agree.

People were talking about this matter everywhere, and one tavern was particularly lively.

Inside there was a man of medium stature, wearing coarse linen clothes, holding his head high, surrounded by the crowd in the center.

He obviously enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, and proudly talked about the "inside information" he knew.

"Let me tell you, Miss Ji is not a good person. Normally, Master Su should have sent her out with a divorce letter, but he was kind-hearted and chose to divorce her amicably, saving some face for Miss Ji."

"Huh? That's it."

"It surprised me that."

"Really? Tsk tsk, Master Su is still too soft-hearted."

There were many people around who were surprised and amazed by the news. Many people stood on Su Bo's side, but there were also many people who spoke for Ji Youran.

Ji Youran's reputation in the capital was not very good, but he had never had a bad reputation either.

I heard that the young lady in the boudoir is not in good health, and she looks so pitiful no matter how you look at her.

Besides, Su Bo is a little older, and he married Ji Youran, who is ten years younger than him. In the eyes of outsiders, Ji Youran is at a disadvantage.

Therefore, in the lively tavern, there were still many people who stood up for her.

"How do you know? Did you sneak under the bed and look? Don't be slandering Miss Ji."

"Yes, I think it might be Master Su's fault. He abandoned his wife and went to the border less than a month after their marriage. Now he comes back and wants to divorce her. It's really too much."

Someone echoed.

The person who first leaked the news to outsiders was unhappy. He slammed the table, stood up, and said a series of words to prove the truthfulness of his words.

"My brother works at the Beijinghou Mansion, so the news is absolutely true. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning."

"Besides, I am a nobody who has no grudge against Miss Ji, why would I slander her for no reason? The news I told you were all seen by my brother with his own eyes."

"He said that when the divorce was proposed, people came to the Shangshu Mansion. Miss Ji's father and brother came in a threatening manner and left in a dejected manner."

"Moreover, their coming here did not change the outcome of the divorce, nor did they say bad things about the Bei Jinghou Mansion outside. Doesn't this prove that the divorce was caused by Miss Ji?"

This sounds reasonable. After all, outsiders don't understand the inside story, so they still agree with this point of view.

What happened later really confirmed what he said.

That is, the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, who had just returned home after her divorce, was actually ordered by the new emperor himself to practice seclusion in a quiet temple.

On the surface, it describes a temple with a tranquil environment, but in fact, the hard and difficult life in the temple is well known to everyone.

The fact that a woman living in a secluded house was punished by the emperor himself was enough to show that she must have done something excessive.

It's just that due to some other unspeakable reasons, the cause of the incident has not been exposed to the public.

The third thing: The Shangshu, that is, the father of Miss Ji who had just been ordered by the emperor to practice asceticism, was demoted by the emperor.

He was demoted six levels in a row, from a second-rank Shangshu to a fifth-rank Langzhong.

It can't be said that he has fallen to the bottom, but if Ji Langzhong wants to climb up again, it is estimated that there is no hope in his lifetime.

The reason for the demotion was ridiculous.

It is said that one day, Minister Ji went to the imperial study to discuss something with the emperor, and he stepped in with his left foot first.

Our dynasty advocates respecting the right, so his behavior must be a sign of his dissatisfaction with the court regulations, which is extremely disrespectful.

Then, Shangshu Ji became Langzhong Ji.

This reason for demotion was not believed by the officials, not even the common people who were watching the show believed it.

Based on the previous article that the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion was punished for no reason, everyone guessed that the real reason why the Shangshu was demoted was probably because he failed to educate his daughter well.

It is very likely that the daughter did something that was very serious, but it was inconvenient for her to reveal it, so she was punished.

In this way, the truth of the matter was guessed by the people of the capital to be about 80%.

The facts were basically the same, but there were some details that they couldn't guess.

Su Bo returned to Beijing Marquis Mansion, met Su Qian and brought him to the palace because he had something very important to report to the emperor - someone assassinated Su Bo on the way back to Beijing.

Su Bo has been stationed at the border for decades. He is upright and cold-faced. He does not allow anyone to use the military to enrich themselves, which has blocked the way for many people.

When he returned to Beijing this time, some people who disliked him hired someone to kill him on the way, trying to stop him halfway. He could not return to the capital, and could no longer be a rock that calmed the people's hearts at the border.

Ji Youran was involved in this.

She had just drugged Su Qian, and not long after that she heard the news that Su Bo had come back to ask for permission. In an instant, she was panicked.

Of course, she couldn't do the assassination yet.

Someone happened to be whispering some rumors in Ji Youran's ear, and she was thinking about something she shouldn't have, so she conveyed some news about Su Po to people who were hostile to Su Po.

Ji Youran's original intention was to stop him from coming back to celebrate the New Year, but he was used by someone with ulterior motives and turned the obstruction into an assassination.
