Chapter 77

People around began to whisper to each other, and Liuying also showed surprise.


I remember that day when I went to Guojian Temple, the princess had an abnormal expression when she heard the sound of the flute. It turned out that she also knew the song, but how could the princess have heard this song when she came to Beicang from afar, and could play it in its entirety?


Listen to the prince's story just now, could it be

Liu Ying took a deep look at Xue Yi.


As the song came to an end, the ever-changing expression in Shangguan Hongyu's eyes finally settled down, and his scorching gaze was fixed on Xueyi's face and he could not move away.


Xue Yi put down the green leaf, and another tear rolled down: "I think, I am the woman in that story, brother Chu, is Chu Zhouyue. He is the eldest son of King Qingping of the Beicang Kingdom. He was born last year. The champion of both civil and military rankings."


Xue Yi looked at Shangguan Hongyu, and saw that his eyes were drooping and gradually dimmed.


There was silence in the hall, for a long time, Shangguan Hongyu said: "Do you love him?"


Xue Yi shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that I thought he would marry me, and I would definitely marry him, but on the day I got married and got married, he begged my father to marry me, and the bride was not I, but the number one beauty in Beicang Kingdom, my second sister Naraniya."


Shangguan Hongyu looked at Xueyi fixedly.


It's actually her!


This is really a big joke, how many times he has prayed for Brother Chu in his heart, may he get his wish fulfilled!

A stagnant air stuck in his heart, and he coughed suddenly.


"His Royal Highness—"


Everyone woke up with a start, a figure had already greeted them from behind the screen, it was Lan Xi who had been standing outside for a long time, and Die Shuang who had come from Yukun Palace.


Xue Yi was also pulled back from her thoughts by the coughing sound, and hurriedly came over to get medicine for Shangguan Hongyu to take, but she was bumped by the panicked crowd and hit the sore spot, and she cried out in pain.


Shangguan Hongyu naturally heard it, and saw that Xueyi's face was as pale as snow. He waved away the crowd, coughing had stopped, and he looked at Xueyi with a serious look, "Are you injured?"


"no!"


Xue Yi answered without thinking.


Shangguan Hongyu propped himself up and was about to get up, "Do you want me to pull you over, or you should come up now."


Xue Yi had no choice but to walk over.


Shangguan Hongyu pulled her wrist and lifted the sleeves, only to see many purple bruises on her white arm, and the same thing happened on the other arm, everyone exclaimed.


"God, why was he beaten so badly?"


Shangguan Hongyu turned cold and looked at Liu Ying:

"Who beat her like this?"


Liu Ying was also in a daze, she didn't know what happened last night, so she hesitated and didn't answer.


"This"


Xue Yi pushed Shangguan Hongyu's hand away, put down his sleeves, and said:

"It's nothing, it's just a small injury, I know how to heal myself."


Shangguan Hongyu kept looking at Liuying, "Liuying, I'm asking you, who beat her like this!"


"The servant does not know."


Liu Ying lowered her head.


Xueyi said:

"You don't have to ask, she really doesn't know."


"Then tell me."


Shangguan Hongyu looked at her fixedly.


"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. This is what I deserve, so I have nothing to say."


Shangguan Hongyu looked at her quietly, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Dieshuang stepped forward and said:

"His Royal Highness, I think the princess must have difficulties. I'm afraid these injuries have not been treated, and there may be other places. It's better to let the servants take the princess down first, and give her the medicine. The wound is on the outside, and the medicine is applied. It will be fine in a few days.”


Shangguan Hongyu didn't say anything, just nodded his head.


Xueyi didn't refute, but followed Dieshuang.


Shangguan Hongyu said coldly:

"You all step back first, and leave me alone."


Lan Xi hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and then led the maids out of the palace.


Picking up the jade flute, an ice-cold light flashed across his eyes.


Maybe now he can understand how brother Chu felt back then.


It is heartache to face the feeling of being powerless when a loved one is hurt.


For the first time in so many years, he had the idea of ​​proclaiming himself emperor.


just for her.

Duanwangfu, garden.


"My lord, from my point of view, even if Nangong Mingye is allowed to enter the palace to meet the emperor, it may not be able to turn the situation around. Now Bozhong Gongsun is about to be convicted and beheaded. Except for the commander of the imperial army, Chai Rong, none of the people who support Bozhong Gongsun I didn't come forward to protect it, and I don't think that he, Nangong Mingye, can save the censor alone."


Shangguan Fengxuan's bodyguard Wu Yun said.


Shangguan Fengxuan was teasing the birdcage in his hand, feeding the canary intently with his calm eyes.


After listening to his subordinates, he seemed to have a faint smile on his face:

"...You underestimate this person, Wu Yun."


Wu Yun was puzzled.


"He's just a half-crippled cripple."


Shangguan Fengxuan glanced at Wu Yun: "You might as well think about it from another angle. He is a cripple, but he was Lao Ba's master before he was alive. It must not be easy for Lao Ba to respect someone.. This battle in Bei Cang , It shows the depth and wisdom of this person, my second brother is not a fool, although there is no way to govern the country, but if he can be regarded as a guest in the curtain and trusted, then he must not be underestimated."


Wu Yun was relieved, "Master, just in case?"


"I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go."


"It seems that the humble official has indeed underestimated this person, but this trip to the palace, it is not only our people who ambushes. It is expected that he will not grow wings, and he will definitely not see the emperor's face."


Wu Yun showed a little smile.


Shangguan Fengxuan gradually narrowed his eyes: "I really want to see if he can pass tonight's test, if he can pass, I'm afraid."


"Afraid of what?"


"I'm afraid that our plan will come to nothing, and the cooked duck will fly out of the dungeon."


"You mean, this person has a way to rescue Gongsun Bozhong?"


Shangguan Fengxuan quietly flashed a smile, "If he can be saved, then this person will be my biggest enemy in the future."


Wu Yun's brows were condensed, "Master, let the humble official send more people, and he must not be allowed to live."


"No need"


Shangguan Fengxuan teased the canary in the cage with a branch, and said quietly: "Sometimes it's fun to have multiple companions."


Wu Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "Master, you have found out what the humble official investigated."


"how?"


"The reason why the bandits from the East Bandit Gang targeted Concubine Jing that night was because of someone's instigation."


"who?"


"If the news is correct, it should be Boss Zi of Phantom Palace."


"is her?"


Shangguan Fengxuan slightly raised his eyebrows.


Wu Yundao: "At first I thought it was the Seventh Prince again, but the spy report has no owner, so why the boss Zi of the Phantom Palace wants to deal with Princess Jing is still unknown."


Shangguan Fengxuan said slowly: "It can't be Lao Qi, I reminded him last time, he won't do such a stupid thing again, if it is really him, he won't look for Phantom Palace again, the last time Phantom Palace missed , with Lao Qi's temperament, he will not find the same family again."


"Then I think, why does Boss Zi want to deal with the mere Princess Jing?"


Shangguan Fengxuan was silent for a while, "Send a few people to secretly watch Boss Zi's whereabouts."


"But Boss Zi has excellent lightness skills, and his whereabouts are erratic. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out any news."


"How long can you stare at it?"


"Yes."


At this time, a few figures walked over from a distance, and arrived in front of them after a while.


It was a few servant girls who surrounded Princess Duan and came with refreshments.


"Fourth Master, try the Changchun Deer Whip Soup that my concubine personally made for you, after drinking this soup"


Before he finished speaking, Wu Yun couldn't help but choked.


Looking again, Duan Wang's face turned dark.


This Concubine Duan is the niece of the current Empress Dowager, and she is even closer to Prince Duan. However, although Shen Xiangxiang is beautiful and beautiful, he cannot hold Prince Duan's heart.


After eight years of marriage, Prince Duan's attitude towards Shen Xiangxiang has always been cold and indifferent. Shen Xiangxiang's jealousy is so great that he often makes the house restless.


But because of the relationship between the Queen Mother and Shen Xiangxiang's father, Prince Duan didn't control her too much.


And Princess Duan had nothing to show for it.


Except for Princess Duan, none of the other concubines gave birth to a son for King Duan.


It's not impossible to have children, but King Duan is still unwilling to leave an heir.


"Hey, I said what are you still doing here, why don't you go down?"


Shen Xiangxiang couldn't help but choked when he heard Wu Yun, and glared at him angrily.


Shangguan Fengxuan still teased the canary, "Wu Yun, you go first."


Wu Yun glanced at Shen Xiangxiang, then at Shangguan Fengxuan, and left with fists clasped.


Shen Xiangxiang winked at the servant girl, and the servant girl beside her bravely lifted the bird cage away. She took advantage of the momentum and leaned close to Shangguan Fengxuan's body. , Get up in the dark, the master must drink it, otherwise the courtiers will not obey."


"The doctor said that if you drink this soup often, your concubines will be able to reproduce for the fourth master. Therefore, you must drink this soup."


"Also. After drinking this soup, the concubine wants the fourth master to go to the Tianyue Tower with the concubine tonight to put up a sky lantern to pray, bless the Bodhisattva, and let the concubine conceive the child of the fourth master. The queen mother will be delighted at that time !"


A charming voice posted it up: "Fourth Lord.~~"


As Shangguan Fengxuan walked into the pavilion in the garden, Shen Xiangxiang followed closely behind him, not forgetting to wave for the maids to come over with dessert soup to serve.


Lifting his robe, Shangguan Fengxuan sat down and took a look at the bowl of soup, "Did you really cook this soup? I'm afraid your maidservant will do it for you again, and you will sit back and enjoy it."


"No, no, this time, the concubine really did it for the fourth master herself. Look, the concubine's hands are torn."


After speaking, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and tears rolled down.


Shangguan Fengxuan stopped looking at her, "Forget it, I believe you, I will ask the doctor to give you some medicine later."


The crying face smiled charmingly in the next second, "Then, fourth master, try how the concubine's soup cooks. If it's good, the concubine will often cook it for the fourth master. No matter how tired you are, it's worth it."


After speaking, he ordered the servant girl to serve the soup cup.


Shangguan Fengxuan took a look at her: "Just now you said to go to Tianyue Tower to put lights?"


Shen Xiangxiang immediately smiled like a flower, "Fourth Master, you agreed to accompany my concubine to light up lanterns and pray! That's great——"


Shangguan Fengxuan opened his mouth, wanted to say something but swallowed it back, thought for a while, "Well, you ask the butler to prepare the carriage, and this king will accompany you to Tianyue Tower." A good show tonight, how can I miss it.


"Come on, fourth master, drink this soup first, concubine, concubine, I'll ask someone to order it!"


After finishing speaking, he was busy ordering the maid to inform the housekeeper, and at the same time was busy getting the maid to take a bath and change clothes, thinking about dressing up properly, she was really happy.


Fourth master had always been neither cold nor cold to her, and came to her room very rarely.


He didn't expect that there would be such a big change today. Could it be that her sincerity finally moved him?

While drinking the soup, Shangguan Fengxuan glanced indifferently at Shen Xiangxiang, who was no longer understanding what he was talking about. His eyes were calm, but the scene of Nankey Yimeng that night appeared in his mind.


I haven't drunk the deer penis soup yet, but my stomach is already full of desire.


He was slightly startled, and his eyes gradually dimmed.


-----------------------—————————————————————————— ———————————


At night, when the cold afterglow gradually dissipates on the horizon.


The bustling streets of the Imperial Capital.


The lights are red and the willows are green, the flowers and branches are ostentatious, the common people come and go, and the sound of firecrackers in front of the small shop.


Xueyi and Liuying were submerged in the street crowd.


After coming back from the palace, he invited the old concubine to be greeted, made incense, changed into men's clothing and went to the street with Liu Ying, heading for Tianyue Tower.


Along the way, she looked around, thinking that she might see Abi when she turned her head.


It's been a day, and Abi hasn't returned home.


It shouldn't be, even if she was angry and ran away, knowing that she would be worried when she returned home, Abi would definitely rush back.


Was it really an accident?


Do not.

Abi's skills are not bad, and she is enough to protect herself.


Maybe I was really angry, so I was so angry that I refused to come back.


"Is the princess looking for Abi?"


Liuying saw Xueyi came out and looked around, bumping into pedestrians several times.


"I don't see her coming back so late, I'm a little worried."


"Perhaps Abi has already returned to the mansion at this time, and you will see the note we left behind when you return to the mansion. Besides, Abi has time, so the princess doesn't have to worry too much."


Liu Ying consoled.


"Ah."


Xue Yi thinks about it too.


At this moment, Liu Ying paused, and glanced slightly at the crowded street, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.


"Beware!"


Stretching out his hand, he brought Xue Yi to the side of the road, and a crowd of people rushed up from where Xue Yi was standing just now.


I only heard a few carriages galloping towards the center of the street, the crowds of people were squeezed to the sides one after another, and there was noise and boiling in the crowd.


Liu Ying quietly took a look at the Mercedes-Benz carriage.


Xue Yi thanked her, and frowned suspiciously as she watched the carriage rushing towards the crowd, "Why is it driving so fast? If someone is injured, it will be a good thing."


It seems that these carriages are all together.


What's wrong with rushing so fast?


Just as the crowd was clamoring, there was another exclamation.


The crowd boiled again, this time it was crowding around without any direction, and a group of killers hidden on both sides of the street showed their knives and flew towards the center of the street, trying to surround the carriages.
