Don't ask where people go

Chapter 12 The Will
Xia Houzhang hesitated to speak, as if he didn't know whether he should tell Fang Zilan.Seeing Xia Houzhang's hesitation, Fang Zilan simply stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study without doing anything, but the door opened a crack.

"His Royal Highness King Xiang?" She tentatively asked, but did not get any reply.She exchanged glances with Xia Houzhang at the side, and finally the two pushed the door open and walked in together.

King Xiang stood in front of the window with his back to them, and the moonlight streamed in through the window, stretching his figure very long.

Xia Houzhang carefully closed the door, and then lit the candle lamp in the house.

Fang Zilan jumped up and down and managed to stand up straight not far behind King Xiang, "His Royal Highness, what happened?"

Wen Shengxiang King did not turn around, and for a long time when Fang Zilan was thinking about whether she should say something to break the silence, she heard the voice of King Xiang, "Fang Zilan, you promised to do things for this hall that day, can you still do it?" number?"

It was the first time that Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment when she heard King Xiang call her own name directly, and the title of the main hall that followed made her feel even more tense. If she agreed to such a solemn matter, I'm afraid it wouldn't be what an easy thing.

However, she still remembers clearly what the young master told her. She will be by her side until King Xiang takes the throne, and she knows what it means.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, "Of course it counts, but His Highness has to pay the corresponding reward."

"What do you want?" King Xiang turned around and stared at the person in front of him.

Xia Houzhang on the side couldn't help shouting, "Your Highness, please think twice."

"I want a place that belongs to me." Fang Zilan replied without hesitation, but seeing the two people in front of him were startled, King Xiang said with a strange expression: "Is this what you want?"

"That's right, after His Highness ascends the throne, I will come to collect my reward." Fang Zilan looked at the two of them, thinking to herself what she said was wrong, why did they all have such expressions?Bite the bullet and continued, "Now, please tell me, Your Highness, what you want me to do."

"Do you know the last edict of the late emperor?" King Xiang asked quietly, but Fang Zilan was taken aback, and subconsciously answered, "Your Highness is talking about the last edict of the late emperor?"

"Yes, this hall wants you to steal this edict and announce it to the world." As King Xiang said this, Fang Zilan only felt puzzled in her heart. Everyone in the world knew this edict of the late emperor, why did King Xiang let her steal it now? Come out and tell the world?
"This palace knows what you're thinking, everyone in the world knows, but no one has seen it, and things that haven't been seen may not exist." King Xiang's voice was tinged with chill, but Fang Zilan's doubts were resolved in an instant .

She couldn't help asking: "Is this the Queen Mother's condition?"

"You are indeed smart." The corners of King Xiang's lips curled up slightly, "It's just that no matter whether it's the queen mother's condition or not, this edict must be held in the hands of the hall."

"Your Highness, don't worry about letting me steal such an important thing?" Fang Zilan smiled slightly, and the smile on King Xiang's face became wider, "It's not that I have no choice but to trust you."

The smile on Fang Zilan's face froze for a moment. It's not that she hadn't expected King Xiang's answer, but she didn't expect it to be this one, "Your Highness is betting on your own wealth and life, so you're not afraid to lose everything?"

"Not only the palace is gambling, but you are too." King Xiang looked at the person in front of him calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "You claim to be number one in the world, and if you fail, you will be ruined. There is also the risk of death, your bet in this game is not smaller than that of the hall."

"Since His Highness has already slapped the table to place bets, what's the point of me ending this game with His Highness?" Fang Zilan was full of smiles, and the look of determination made both of them feel a little more at ease.

A smile escaped from the corner of King Xiang's lips, "You are quite confident."

The exact same words, but the previous ones were more like jokes, but this time there is a little more trust in life and death.

Fang Zilan soon knew the reason why King Xiang stole the edict because she had to, and it was really a last resort.The imperial edict is guarded by the royal secret guards in the underground palace in the imperial city dedicated to enshrining the tablets of successive emperors.

According to the memory of this body, Fang Zilan also fought against the royal guards before. Although she suffered a lot of injuries because of her young age, the skills of those guards were indeed first-class. Make sure to get out of the body under the eyes of multiple royal guards.

"A total of 99 imperial secret guards inside and outside?" Fang Zilan couldn't help repeating King Xiang's words, with a bit of a headache, "This is not a small number."

"I know." King Xiang was twiddling a white piece in his hand, looking at the chessboard in front of him, "But since it's you, there must be some way. You go and come back quickly, and I will send Xia Houzhang to meet you at Zhuque Street. "

"Your Highness really trusts me." Fang Zilan smiled wryly. Even if she survived this time, she might lose her life, but she couldn't go back on what she said.

The action was scheduled for three nights later, when everyone was sound asleep, Fang Zilan sneaked into the underground palace of the imperial city lightly.

Because King Xiang had shown her the deployment map before, and had calculated the time for the inner and outer guards to change guards, she easily obtained the last emperor's edict. In order to prevent triggering the mechanism, she quickly changed a fake edict.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered at the moment of changing the imperial edict.

Fang Zilan looked at the dark guard in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, now he can only rely on himself if he wants to get out.

Surrounded by several dark guards, she retreated towards the exit of the underground palace while fighting.

However, she only had a short dagger on her body, and she lost the wind to the sword of the hidden guard for a while.The hidden guards on the periphery were quickly alarmed by the sound, some rushed over to support, and some prepared to block the underground palace.

Fang Zilan groaned inwardly, seeing the sword of the dark guard approaching her body, she simply got angry and went forward to let the long sword penetrate into her waist and abdomen.

The opponent was obviously stunned for a moment, and she seized the opportunity to cut the opponent's throat with a short dagger. When the blood splashed out, she suddenly pushed the body to the person behind, and jumped out by herself.

Finally escaped before the underground palace was sealed off, Fang Zilan pulled out the sword from her backhand. With the sword, she quickly dealt with several hidden guards surrounding her, and only then did she have time to take a look at her wounds.

Although he didn't feel pain, he was bleeding profusely, so even if he escaped, he would be caught up.She hurriedly tore off the clothes of the corpse beside her and quickly tied them on her body to stop the bleeding, then tore off her coat, threw off her shoes, and ran barefoot on Suzaku Street.

Suzaku Avenue is the closest street to the imperial city, and there is no lack of romantic places along it. At this time, it is still singing and dancing, and no one noticed that an injured man in black broke into the street.

And Fang Zilan saw King Xiang's carriage at a glance, a golden carriage that was enough to show his identity, and it was parked next to Fengyue Tower.

She jumped into the car by herself, but when she opened the brocade curtain, she was stunned.

The next moment a hand stretched out and grabbed her wrist, and she fell into the carriage, throwing herself into the arms of the people inside.

"Your Highness, how could you..." Fang Zilan struggled to get up and was about to say something when she saw King Xiang's finger pressing on her lips, making a silent movement, "Change your clothes first."

King Xiang pulled out a set of women's fancy clothes from behind, Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment but heard a voice not far from the carriage, "Search from house to house for me!"

She didn't care about other things because of the emergency, and hurriedly tore off her clothes, and King Xiang helped her hide under the collapse.She took the clothes from King Xiang and hurriedly put them on, and when she lowered her head to straighten her belt, she heard King Xiang's voice, "Are you injured?"

Fang Zilan raised her head and met King Shangxiang's eyes, "I..."

Just as she was about to say something, she heard a voice outside: "Even His Royal Highness King Xiang's car must be searched!"

"Offended." King Xiang's voice reached her ears with breath, and before she had time to think about what King Xiang meant, she saw that King Xiang tore off her robe with one hand, and wrapped her arms around her with the other. waist, and took her into his arms.The belt she hadn't fastened loosened in an instant, and slid down her shoulders uncontrollably.

She immediately realized what King Xiang was doing, but suddenly she seemed to be a puppet without the ability to move at the mercy of others.

Vaguely, she could only hear the strong heartbeat of the person holding her.

In the next second, King Xiang raised his hand to remove the hairpin from her head, and let the long hair fall like a waterfall to cover the scar on her back. Almost at the same time, the brocade curtain of the carriage was lifted.

The people outside the carriage were stunned when they saw the scene inside the carriage. The woman was disheveled, leaning against King Xiang's arms with her naked back, her long hair covered most of her face, but she still couldn't hide the blush on her cheeks.King Xiang's clothes were opened wide, revealing his strong upper body.

Seeing that King Xiang was holding her hand tightly, and she buried her head in King Xiang's arms, she only felt that the place where his waist was held was hot and hot, and her whole body was wrapped in the breath of his close proximity. The extremely ambiguous atmosphere made her panic for no reason.

"What's the matter?" King Xiang frowned, looking very displeased.

The leader of the hidden guard outside the carriage saluted embarrassingly, "His Royal Highness, we are hunting a thief."

"Have you chased the thieves to the carriage of the main hall?" King Xiang's face turned cold, "You can see clearly, is there the person you are looking for on the carriage of the main hall?"

"No, no." The leader of the dark guard said and lowered his head even lower, "I dare not disturb Your Highness." After saying that, he hastily put down the brocade curtain.

After a while, after confirming that the hidden guards had gone far away, Xia Houzhang, who had been hiding in the dark, came out, replaced the coachman and sat in the driving seat, and drove back to the house.

In the carriage, King Xiang still maintained the posture just now, holding Fang Zilan tightly in his arms.

"Your Highness?" Fang Zilan called out tentatively. The person in front of her relaxed her hand a little, but she didn't want to let go. "You are injured."

King Xiang used an affirmative sentence this time, she still didn't care about reaching out to push King Xiang's hand away, but King Xiang grabbed her wrist with a backhand, "You are seriously injured, don't move around."

　Today's small theater:
　　Fang Zilan: Is the mission expensive?
　　King Xiang: This hall is about to become the Lord of the World, so what's the point of spending some money?Expensive is expensive.

　　Fang Zilan: That's what I like about Your Highness, you're generous enough!But what I want is not money...

　　Xia Houzhang: That's it?That's it? !

　　Author: Just be happy.
