Wei Xingzhen's throat moved, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Sun Youwei's eyes turned to Wei Xingzhen, "Did Wei Aiqing not be in the official office yesterday afternoon?"

"...Yes," Wei Xingzhen nodded, "The Qingyao Club recently added a new batch of tea, and I went to see it."

Ji Ran thought, "Master Wei likes to do many things himself. If you have newly added tea, you have to choose it yourself?"

"I'm used to it." Wei Xingzhen replied coldly.

Feng Yan nodded again, "Is there some beautiful woman there who can cook water and tea for Lord Wei?"

Wei Xingzhen: "I——"

"No, I have to say justice for Lord Wei." Ji Ran smiled, "Yesterday one of my subordinates met Lord Wei on the street. He felt strange for a moment, so he followed him and took a look. Except for entering Nuanxun Pavilion at the end of You hour, Lord Wei did not do anything out of the way at other times. Please rest assured that you are."

"...Ji Shaoqing." Wei Xingzhen looked straight at Ji Ran, "Thank you for helping me clarify."

"You're welcome." Seeing Wei Xingzhen's expression, Ji Ran was secretly amused. He said with great righteousness, "The eyes of Dali Temple are all over Luoyang, and I should have given Lord Wei a clear innocence."

...

In the afternoon, Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen withdrew from Taichu Palace.

Sun Youwei watched them leave, then looked at Ji Ran, "It sounds like you had sent someone to follow Lord Wei's actions yesterday afternoon?"

"Back to your Majesty, yes."

"Jiran... You are so brave." Sun You frowned slightly, "Why?"

Ji Ran said calmly, "Yesterday afternoon, Lord Wei left Dali Temple. I was just secretly sending someone to escort him back to the official office. Unexpectedly, Lord Wei went elsewhere and had these things that happened later. Please... Your Majesty understand."

"So has he left the city or talked to some suspicious person?"

"No." Ji Ran took out the record book in his arms, "Mr. Wei did buy and shop around the city throughout the whole process. If Your Majesty is curious, you can check out the details."

...

The scorching afternoon sun shines the sky and the earth, and noisy cicadas roar on the branches not far away.

Wei Xingzhen endured all the way until he was about to leave the palace gate, and finally said, "A Yan, listen to my explanation..."

Feng Yan made a move to silence.

"Let's talk about it when you go back."

Wei Xingzhen had to swallow the words again - to some extent, Feng Yan's caution was right, after all, there were many eyeliners in the palace.

So the two of them were speechless until the carriage stopped at the east gate of Wei's mansion. After entering the courtyard, Feng Yan finally stopped. She turned around with a little smile, "What did Lord Wei just want to say?"

Wei Xingzhen also stood up, and he looked grim, "I... have always been a self-disciplined person, A Yan wants to believe me."

Listening to Wei Xingzhen's serious clarification, Feng Yan was a little surprised.

——She didn't expect that as soon as Wei Xingzhen spoke, it was this one.

She laughed, "I don't know if you are clean, but I believe that the person who appeared in East City yesterday was not an adult."

Wei Xingzhen breathed a sigh of relief almost without hesitation.

Feng Yan said softly, "Mr. Wei found Mr. He in the jungle near Daizong Mountain at the end of Shen's hour yesterday, and took the person back while the shift was handing over in the You hour of the North Gate. However, Mr. Ji said that you went to the East City and West City yesterday afternoon, and bought tea and listened to the opera in Qingtang..."

Feng Yan took a step forward, "Mr. Wei is really good at it. He can appear outside the city and in the market at the same time - has anyone pretended to be you and deceived everyone? Or have you used some evil magic to create your own puppet?"

"No puppet."

"What's going on?"

Wei Xingzhen sighed softly, "It's just an ordinary illusion, just transforming into shape with Qi. In essence, it's no different from the scene A Yan saw at the summer banquet."

Feng Yan suddenly frowned.

...illusion?

She suddenly wanted to knock on Wei Xingzhen's forehead.

Lord Wei, do you think I don’t go out normally and read less, so I’m easy to cheat?

There are still five senses to create flowers and plants at summer banquets. If you use illusion to create a living person without being seen through by others, it is almost impossible to accomplish.

Because people have unimaginable sensitivity to their own kind.

People always have preferences for things that are similar to people, such as raccoons - they have big eyes, flat faces and tall round foreheads, just like babies' faces.

However, when this similarity reaches a certain level, this preference will suddenly become terrifying.

Sometimes, it is difficult for people to tell what is the difference between a dummy and a real person, but as long as there is a little bit of a little bit of difference, it is enough to make the dummy created by all illusions often as dazzling and conspicuous in the eyes of ordinary people as stiff walking corpses.

From ancient times to the present, Feng Yan has never heard of anyone using illusions to create humans, and can use fakes to make real ones - unless it is a meat puppet.

The body of the flesh puppet is mostly a physical body that is specially captured, so it looks a little more realistic, but this is just like a ray of ties, which is the most shameful evil technique.

"What about the evidence?" Feng Yan frowned.

“…A Yan follows me.”

Feng Yan followed Wei Xingzhen's footsteps and walked through the courtyard.

He took Feng Yan to the courtyard where Di Yang rested yesterday. The windows of the guest house were open and there was no one inside.

Feng Yan's eyes swept across the courtyard quickly, "Have you taken the Duke and the others to a safe place?"

"No." Wei Xingzhen replied in a low voice.

"...They are still in the mansion?"

Wei Xingzhen nodded.

"That morning Ji Ran came to search—"

"He can't find anything." Wei Xingzhen slowly walked to Feng Yan and whispered, "A Yan thinks there is something strange around him?"

Feng Yan was slightly stunned.

She looked around again and there were peach trees planted in the yard. At this time, there were lush branches and leaves, the chirping of insects in the distance, the blue bricks under her feet, and the birds passing by the sky from time to time...

Nothing unusual.

Yes, no.

Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen's eyes again with some confusion.

"Then... don't be afraid."

Before Feng Yan could ask what he was afraid of, there was a sudden earth-shaking change around him.

Mountains, courtyards, green pine... Everything around you is like ink and wash suddenly stained with water.

The changing world brought dazzling dizziness, and the whole world showed an unreal illusion. All the light and shadows surged in front of you, and Feng Yan was a little unsteady for a moment.

Wei Xingzhen immediately supported her.

But in a moment, in a hazy and chaos, the world suddenly appeared a new look.

The sticky and blurred colors quickly became clear again, and each grass, a tree, a brick and a tile showed their outlines again. Feng Yan stared blankly at everything in front of her - including Di Yang, whose hands and feet were wrapped in gauze on the swing frame not far away.

All of this happened in an instant.

Di Yang was also looking at Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan who suddenly appeared in front of him, "When will you... you two come back?"
