Chapter 548 Gao Yuan's Good Deeds
But one day, Zhou Chang finally remembered the question about Mei Sheng's "face fan".
Then, Wen Qingyan should still be staying in Beiji and not returning to Jindu, right?
Yesterday, Zhou Chang went to the Yuan family’s mansion in Beiji again, mainly to visit Yuan Yu.
The Yuan family invited all the famous doctors they could, and used all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, but Yuan Yu's health was still getting weaker.
After Zhou Chang recovered, he went there more often.
Although Yuan Yu's complexion looked fine, probably because he had consumed too many precious medicinal herbs, his entire body was already showing an aura of decay from the inside out.
Zhou Chang was also at a loss as to what to do and could only feel worried.
Although Yuan Qi said that he would bring the kidnappers to justice and find out the mastermind behind the scenes to avenge his father, after returning to Beiji, they met several times in the Yuan family mansion, but he never mentioned it again.
Not mentioning it doesn’t mean you’ve forgotten it.
On the contrary, the less Yuan Qi mentioned it, the more anxious Zhou Chang became.
Yuan Qi was so focused on Yuan Yu's health that he didn't care about anything else, while Zhou Chang was looking at both ends but there was no progress.
Yuan Qi had been suffering from the stress of his father being kidnapped and had been unable to eat or sleep for several months. Although he had rescued Yuan Yu, he was even more restless day and night and had become extremely thin.
Zhou Chang saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He even secretly sent people from the Jin Caosi to inquire about the news of Taoist Master Yun Huazi, but to no avail.
In addition to this, there is another thing, that is Wen Qingyan.
Zhou Chang went to the Yuan family several times, but did not meet Wen Qingyan. However, according to the information that Shouhou got from the servants of the Yuan family, Wen Qingyan went to the Yuan family more frequently than her, basically every other day.
Wen Fei is now the left assistant general of the Ministry of War. It is not in compliance with the court regulations to borrow troops from the north. Besides, the problem of the Yuan family has been solved, so he should return to Jindu.
But he, like her, Prince Yi, was reluctant to return.
As for the reason for not returning, everyone had their own excuses on the surface, but in reality they were all worried about the Yuan family's affairs.
This is good. Since Wen Qingyan is still in Beiji, his time cannot be wasted.
At this time, Zhou Chang was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. The north weather in late July was still scorching hot.
The skinny monkey had just come back from outside with some food. Before he could offer the food to the "treasure", Zhou Chang said, "Go and find out where Wen Fei is today."
"General Wen?" The skinny monkey didn't need to think too much, "General Wen is either in the city defense official residence or in Yuan Mansion."
Zhou Chang frowned, feeling that it was more likely that Wen Qingyan was in Yuan Mansion.
"Your Majesty, do you want to see him for something? If so, I will ask Lord Yang's servants to call him over." The skinny monkey asked.
The prefect Yang Yi came to pay his respects to Prince Yi every now and then, and even sent special runners to wait at the post station every day, for fear that something might happen to Prince Yi Fengming in Beiji City again, which would put him in great trouble.
Zhou Chang thought about it and still felt that it would be better not to meet Wen Qingyan, so he shook his head: "No, don't invite him here. If you can confirm that Wen Fei is in the official residence, take Mei Sheng to Wen Fei and say that Mei Sheng wants to consult him about knowledge. Just ask two questions and let them talk. If he is at Yuan's house... If he went to Yuan's house, then we will talk about it another day."
"Let's talk?" The thin monkey wondered, "What is there for Master Lin and Master Wen to talk about?"
Zhou Chang had an idea on the spur of the moment, and he didn't even bother to think of an excuse: "Let them talk about anything, just let them talk about academic matters. In short, you just need to let them meet and talk to each other face to face. As for the reason, I can just make it up at random."
The skinny monkey and the second monk Zhang were puzzled: "These two people are like stewed tofu, and they can't make any sound when chewed in the mouth. What is there to talk about? Is it Master Lin who wants to see Lord Wen, or is it you, the prince, who wants to see Lord Wen?"
"Oh, no need to ask more questions. Just listen to me. You just need to make sure they can meet. Go ahead." Zhou Chang couldn't tell his true intentions.
The skinny monkey had no choice but to put the peanuts and candied fruits he had just bought back into his arms and turned to leave.
Before he reached the gate of the yard, Gao Yuan came back from outside.
Skinny Monkey didn't want to do such a strange job, so he took the opportunity to arrest someone: "That's great, Brother Gao, come with me."
Gao Yuan smiled as he glanced into the yard. Seeing Zhou Chang was also in the yard, he quickly came over to greet him and said, "My Lord, do you have anything for me to do?"
As soon as Zhou Chang saw Gao Yuan, he knew that he had not returned home all night again. He had just returned and was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
Ever since that day when he and Yuan Qi returned to Beiji Posthouse, Liu E also got off the carriage with them.
Zhou Chang never forgot the matter between Gao Yuan and Liu E, and at that time he reminded Gao Yuan both explicitly and implicitly, asking the two of them to take this opportunity to spend more time together.
Later, Zhou Chang's health gradually improved, and he urged Gao Yuan to seize the time and take the initiative.
If I can deal with Liu E during this time in Beiji, then when I return to Jindu later, I can bring Liu E with me.
When the time comes, we can hold a wedding for the two of them and complete this beautiful event, which will be considered a good deed.
Gao Yuan was embarrassed at first, but when Zhou Chang went to the Yuan family mansion to visit Yuan Yu, he followed silently.
After that, although Zhou Chang didn't know how the two of them got back in touch, it was probably due to the skinny monkey's contribution, but Gao Yuan started to go out frequently and didn't come back all night.
Zhou Chang got the "tip" from Shouhou, and after knowing that Gao Yuan did not return home all night because he was with Liu E, he stopped asking any more questions.
However, every time Gao Yuan saw Liu E the next morning after she came back, his expressionless face would change to a smiling cat, which was enough to explain everything.
Not only that, the last time Gao Yuan came back early in the morning, he felt like he was stepping on clouds. He fell asleep as soon as he returned to his room, and Zhou Chang didn't even catch sight of him.
Afterwards, Shouhou gossiped with Zhou Chang and suspected that Gao Yuan was having an affair with Liu E outside.
Zhou Chang agreed with this deeply, but warned the skinny monkey not to expose it, otherwise Gao Yuan would be too shy to act, which would delay the two of them.
However, from this point of view, the psychological shadow left by Liu E should have faded away.
For this reason, Zhou Chang was sincerely happy for these two people.
Now that he saw Gao Yuan coming back, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy again.
How could Zhou Chang spoil the mood? He casually said, "Nothing. I just asked Shou Hou to do the work. He can do it alone. You just go back to your room and have a rest. Just keep an eye on the news from Jin Cao Si and Yi Dan Xing."
Gao Yuan did not try to be stubborn and bowed again: "If that is the case, Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will return to my room first."
However, the skinny monkey who was still waiting at the gate asked again: "Brother Gao, you really don't want to come with me?"
Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head.
