Chapter 219 Catch Them All
Chapter 219 Catch Them All
Ali Khoja initially asked to stay in Beijing for a while longer because he was worried about Hanxiang.
Now that he has wasted more than a month here, it is time for him to leave, no matter how reluctant he is.
When Jingyan learned that Hanxiang had asked the emperor to personally escort Ali Khoja out of the capital, he suddenly remembered that Merdan seemed to have done something strange.
Although Hanxiang has made her attitude clear, Jingyan is still quite worried about Meldan, who is obviously showing some signs of irritability.
In the play, it was because of this incident that the emperor learned of their relationship. Now that Hanxiang has decided to stay, there is really no need to cause trouble and make the emperor angry, which would not be good for Hanxiang either.
Although I don’t know if Meldan will do something stupid again, I still have to take precautions in advance.
Thinking about this, Jingyan suddenly thought of the Hui people he met a few days ago. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was afraid of everything.
After thinking about it randomly, Jingyan pulled Qing'er, who was arranging flowers next to him, and left.
"Hey? Where are you going?" Qing'er was still holding a flower in her hand and followed Jingyan in a daze.
Jingyan quickened his pace and went to Baoyue Tower.
The two of them arrived at the wrong time, as the emperor was also there.
Seeing the two hurriedly, the emperor teased: "You two girls are really something. If you didn't know, you would think someone was chasing you."
Jing Yan bowed politely, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, Uncle Emperor. We just want to see the Fragrant Concubine as soon as possible."
Because the two girls were on good terms with Xiang Fei, Xiang Fei's attitude towards him changed 160 degrees, and the emperor was very happy to see it.
Look at it now. I never dared to imagine that I could chat and laugh with Xiang Fei so calmly in the past. Now it has all been realized, and it is largely due to the efforts of the two girls.
After chatting for a while, the emperor knew that there were things between the girls that he, as a man, had no say in, so without waiting to be driven away, the emperor stood up on his own initiative.
"It's just right. I should go and say goodbye to Ali Hezhuo. You guys chat first. We'll see Ali Hezhuo off together tomorrow."
"Congratulations to the emperor."
After the emperor left, Qing'er sat down with peace of mind. She casually put the flowers she had been holding in her hand into the vase on the table, looked at Jingyan, and waited quietly for her to speak.
Hanxiang didn't think that the two of them rushed here just for a flower, especially since Jingyan had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Jingyan pretended to be profound and poured herself a cup of tea. She needed to think carefully about what to say.
"Actually, I saw some of your Hui people when I left the palace a few days ago. Then I just got the news that you wanted to leave the palace to see Ali Khoja off, and I suddenly became a little worried."
"What are you worried about?" Hanxiang was confused.
"Tell me, will your beloved take this opportunity to take you away?"
Jingyan's words startled Hanxiang, "How could that be?"
But after thinking about it carefully and thinking about Meldan's persistence, Hanxiang began to feel that it was very likely.
Qing'er said, "But he probably doesn't know that Ali and Zhuo are leaving today. Besides, how would he know that Hanxiang would go and see Ali and Zhuo off?"
Jingyan couldn't answer this question. How did Meldan know about it in the play? It didn't say either.
"If he really refuses to give up, he will definitely keep a close eye on the actions of the Hui tribe members every day."
Hanxiang was silent for a while. No one knew better than her how persistent Meldan was. It was because of this that she had the heart to say that she had fallen in love with the emperor and even refused to write him a reply.
Even so, Hanxiang didn't dare to say that Meldan would definitely give up, or even say that he didn't give up at all.
Hanxiang didn't want him to do anything for her anymore. When he was returning to the tribe and on the road, Hanxiang could still plead with her father for help if he did these things.
But now we are in the capital, and if I go to send Ali Khoja away, there will definitely be a lot of people following me. If Merdan really acts impulsively, his life will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Hanxiang felt a little worried: "Maybe you are right to worry, Mai Erdan, it is really possible to act impulsively."
Jingyan sighed deeply. Hanxiang knew Meldan well. Since she said so, it must be true.
"We must find a way to stop her." Qing'er said with determination.
Everyone understands that Hanxiang's only hope for Merdan now is that he can live well, and she must stop him from doing stupid things.
"How can we stop him? We don't even know where he is. Besides, if he could be stopped with just a few words, Meldan would not have chased him to the capital." Hanxiang was a little depressed.
Sometimes she even thought that if her fate could not be changed, it would be better for her not to know Meldan from the beginning.
At least that way I don't have to worry about him doing something stupid for me.
"Perhaps, can we capture him and let Ali Hezhuo bring him back to Xinjiang?" Jing Yan suggested tentatively.
"Of course. Even for my sake and for the Hui tribe, father will definitely keep Merdan under control." Hanxiang nodded happily.
Moreover, what Hanxiang didn't say was that if Merdan fell into Ali Khoja's hands, he could survive, but if he fell into the emperor's hands, Merdan would not be able to survive.
"How to do it?"
"Then maybe we can only ask Yongheng for help in this matter." Qing'er, who had been silent, spoke.
Hanxiang knew Yongheng, who was Jingyan's brother and Qing'er's fiancé, so Hanxiang naturally believed him.
Seeing Hanxiang nod, Jingyan thought about the feasibility of the plan.
Totally doable.
"Then I'll leave this matter to my brother and ask him to plan it carefully."
Hanxiang pleaded, "Please ask Yongheng not to hurt him."
"It's natural."
Merdan ended up in this situation because of her. She owed him something. She couldn't do anything, but she would beg her father to treat Merdan well and hoped that Merdan could live a good life after returning to Xinjiang.
So several people acted separately. Hanxiang went to beg her father to capture Merdan and bring him back to Xinjiang if he really dared to come.
Jingyan left the palace to find Yongheng to discuss what to do.
"My dear sister, you have really given me a big problem. I have to see him off early tomorrow morning, catch him, and hide it from the emperor and others as much as possible to avoid any noise. I don't have the ability to do that."
Seeing Yongheng's headache, Jingyan knew she was making things difficult for him. She laughed dryly and said, "Brother, you are the most powerful among our younger generation. How can such a small matter stump you? I came to you because I knew only you could handle this matter."
Yongheng was delighted by what he heard, and he would go through fire and water even if it meant going through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
"Alright, little flatterer, let me think about it."
In fact, this is not a difficult task. All they have to do is ambush them in advance and catch them. After all, Merdan doesn't know where Hanxiang is staying, but they know it very well, which gives them the upper hand.
Yongheng made arrangements in advance and arranged for people to ambush around overnight. When they encountered any suspicious people, they would just catch them all.
Yongheng and Jingyan agreed that after capturing the person, he would take his men to take a shortcut to the next stop and wait for Ali and Zhuo there.
In order to prevent others from realizing the crisis and reporting the matter to the emperor, Yongheng planned to arrest all the suspicious people around.
