Live up to the country

Liu Fan took Luo Lianyi's hand and got into the carriage. Luo Lianyi's face was pale and her palms were cold. Liu Fan looked at her lovingly, and slowly passed a trace of internal force from her palm.

"Is it better?" he asked her softly.

Luo Lianyi felt a warm current flow in from the palm of her hand, gradually infiltrating her whole body. She felt much more comfortable, and her face also had a blush. "Better." She replied softly.

"That's why I really want to take you into hiding, away from these intrigues and swords and swords forever." Liu Fan clenched her hand, his eyes were fascinated, and his expression showed a touch of vicissitudes.

Luo Lianyi met his gaze, her heart fluttered, and at this moment, she also had the feeling that she wanted to be with him forever and forever.

"The road ahead is boundless, can we keep our hearts?" Liu Fan asked quietly.

Luo Lianyi didn't say a word. She never liked to make easy promises about unknown things.

Seeing that she was speechless for a long time, Liu Fan let go of her hand and sat silently, with a deep expression on his face, no sadness or joy could be seen.Looking at his sculpture-like silhouette, Luo Lianyi suddenly thought of four words: peerless loneliness.

"His Royal Highness!" Xiao Zhu outside the carriage called.

Liu Fan stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and saw Xiao Zhu and the shopkeeper scholar standing side by side in front of the carriage, but the scholar had changed into an ordinary man's attire, he was wearing a fur hat and a short jacket, and he did not look pedantic at all.

"Caomin Jiangfeng pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Feng bowed to the ground.

"Excuse me." Liu Fan jumped off the carriage and helped him up.

"Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Jiang Feng will see you off for a while. Please get in the car, Your Highness." Jiang Feng said with his fists clasped.

"Okay." Liu Fan stretched out his hand, led Xiao Zhu into the carriage, and the three of them sat down. Jiang Feng jumped into the carriage, whipped the horse and left the inn. After walking a foot away, he turned around and raised his hand to shoot a rocket. Then he galloped wildly without looking behind him, the inn was already on fire and instantly reduced to ashes.

In Xiling Palace, Emperor Liu Hongjing almost fainted when he heard the news of the prince's death. He fell down on the dragon chair, his hands trembling, the majestic and heroic spirit on his face seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and he aged ten years in a blink of an eye.

"Xi'er! I'm sorry for you!" He looked up at the sky tremblingly, his tiger eyes widened, and tears rolled down his face.

"My Majesty's condolences." Manchu civil and military officials knelt on the ground, kowtowing one by one, not daring to vent their anger.Grand Tutor Sima had already passed out due to grief, and was helped down to rest by the eunuchs, while Prime Minister Yin was kneeling on the ground at this moment, the grief and anger in his eyes turned into tears, dripping on the cold bluestone floor.

"I must find out the real culprit who killed the prince, and tear him into pieces!" Liu Hongjing slammed the dragon case suddenly, and yelled loudly, shaking the uncle Duanmu Mengzheng who was kneeling on the ground. .

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally fell off a cliff and died. No one has harmed His Highness. Please condolences to His Majesty." Uncle Guo raised his head tremblingly and said.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that this is the work of Qi Yu, the dog thief from Dongling. The so-called princess he sent must be a killer sent by him, so she took advantage of the chaos to murder the crown prince, and died together with His Highness the crown prince." The Ministry of War Shangshu Duanmuchun raised his head and said cautiously.

Liu Hongjing glanced over their faces, and said coldly: "I will investigate thoroughly, you Duanmu family don't have to be so nervous."

Both Duanmu Mengzheng and Duanmu Chun lowered their heads, neither of them dared to say anything more.

In Qingning Palace, Duanmu Yunji was standing leisurely on the porch playing with a parrot, and far away from the porch, Eunuch Tong came in a hurry.

"The servant sees the empress." Eunuch Tong quickly arrived in front of her, he swept the dust away, and knelt down to pay homage.

"Exemption." Duanmu Yunji waved her hand lightly, turned around and walked into the hall, Eunuch Tong stood up and followed her step by step.

"You all go down." Duanmu Yunji waved to the court ladies and eunuchs in the hall, and all the court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows to leave the hall.

"Let's talk." Duanmu Yunji sat down, took a sip of tea, and said slowly.

"All the people sent by the empress have disappeared, and the people sent by the uncle of the country have also disappeared. The servant feels that there is something strange about it and should not be taken lightly." Eunuch Tong reported back.

Duanmu Yunji was silent while holding the tea, and asked after a while, "Are you sure the prince is dead?"

"Confirm, if you fall off the cliff, you will definitely die." Mr. Tong said fairly.

"Did you see the corpse?" Duanmu Yunji asked.

"This - not yet." Eunuch Tong replied with his head bowed.

Duanmu Yunji glanced at him, and put the teacup heavily on the table. "If you don't see the body, do you dare to say that he is really dead?" She stood up and said angrily, changing her happy expression just now.

"The emperor has sent people down the cliff to search for the dead body. The slaves and uncle Guo dare not send people to participate at this time, so they can only wait for the emperor's news. According to the emperor's uncle Ji, the emperor said in the court today that he is against the Duanmu family. If it's unfavorable, the empress must be careful." Eunuch Tong reported.

"What did you say?" Duanmu Yunji's eyes were full of resentment.

"The emperor said that the murderer who killed the prince would be cut into pieces. Uncle Guo and Lord Shangshu came out to speak. The emperor said that the Duanmu family members should not be so nervous."

Duanmu Yunji's Liu Ye'e eyebrows were tightly frowned, she sat down, pressed her fingers between her brows, and slightly closed her Danfeng eyes.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Tong called her cautiously.

"Don't be afraid. The emperor doesn't dare to attack the Duanmu family without enough evidence. The key now is whether the prince is really dead. If he is not dead, it will be a serious matter, and we are all in vain. Busy work." Duanmu Yunji said slowly.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm going to find out the news." Eunuch Tong said.

"Go." Duanmu Yunji waved.

Eunuch Tong bent down and retreated to the door, Duanmu Yunji asked again: "Is there no news from your brother?"

"No." Eunuch Tong replied sadly.

"He is strong in martial arts, so it is said that he would not be killed easily. I don't believe that there will be someone more powerful than him around the prince." Duanmu Yunji stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. She was very familiar with the people around the prince. After eliminating one by one, no one can be found who has a higher martial arts ability than Tong Ergong.

"The slave is resigning." Eunuch Tong bowed and said.

"Go out." Duanmu Yunji nodded.After Eunuch Tong left, she called the palace maid and ordered her to dress up for her.

"Help me to Ruoxi Hall." After dressing up, she stretched out her hand, and with the help of the maid, she went to Ruoxi Hall, the former palace of Imperial Concubine Xi in the west.For so many years, the emperor would stay there after finishing his government affairs. This is a habit that all the concubines in the palace know. Must return to Ruoxi Palace to rest.

"The Empress is here!" The eunuch outside Ruoxi Hall saw her from a distance, and announced in a shrill voice.
