Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 313 Rui Wang
At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the setting sun passed through the dense forest layers, and sprinkled the last ray of afterglow on him.

Wu Sheng lowered his eyes and said, "We are in the same group."

Then the corners of his lips moved to both sides, and he smiled slightly, "Yes, we are in the same group."

He raised his eyes, sparks flashed like fireworks, Lu Xin was slightly stunned, and felt that the man in front of him seemed to break out of his cocoon at that moment.

However, the fireworks were too fast, so fast that Lu Xinyan was not sure if it was an illusion.

"Cousin, my wound is almost done." Wu Sheng smiled gently, "The wound on your arm needs to be treated, and I will help you."

He reached out to look at Lu Xinyan's arm, and Lu Xinyan subconsciously hid her arm back.

Realizing that she was overreacting, Lu Xinyan smiled, "I just bandaged it up for you, and it won't be good if the wound ruptures with force. My injury is fine, and it will be fine when Shuyun comes back to help me later."

"If there's another killer or something, we're all counting on you to survive." She joked.

Wu Sheng withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, looked at her and said with a smile: "No problem, I will be responsible for the safety of my cousin from now on."

Lu Xinyan's brows twitched, she always felt that there was something wrong with these words, she was about to say something, but she saw Wu Sheng turned his head, pointed to the front and said: "Shu Yun is back, it seems we have something to eat."

Shu Yun's clothes were held by both hands, and there seemed to be something inside.Seeing the two people looking over, he said excitedly: "Miss, Third Prince, I picked some wild fruits!"

Then he said with some frustration: "But that's all, the rest were eaten by the birds in the forest."

She took out seven bright red wild fruits. The unique sweet smell of the fruit made Lu Xinyan and Wu Sheng swallow involuntarily.

Seven wild fruits, three people, two for Shu Yun and Lu Xinyan, three for Wu Sheng.

Shu Yun took one, "Miss is pregnant with a child, eat more. I didn't exert much strength, so I can bear it."

Lu Xinyan took two, and handed the remaining four to Wu Sheng, "The third prince is the most physically exhausted, and we will all rely on you for the rest."

Wu Sheng looked at the small hand holding the fruit, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

From the moment he fled, except for leading them through the alley, all his actions were led by Lu Xinyan.

She ran when she said run, pretended when she said to pretend, and killed when she said to kill.It seems invincible and omnipotent.As long as she is there, no matter what environment you are in, you can make people feel at ease.

However, at this moment, Wu Sheng suddenly realized that she was just a little girl, even a few months younger than him.

She is not omnipotent, she also needs protection.

The sentence "I will be responsible for my cousin's safety in the future" was more or less blurted out following Lu Xinyan's words.

He himself didn't think about the deep meaning behind those words, but it seemed different now, a sense of responsibility and pride for being a man suddenly rose in his heart.

"No problem." Wu Sheng took the fruit and said word by word: "The safety of my cousin in the future..."

"Not only my safety, those who comb the clouds, those in the Zhen Guo government, but also the safety of many people who support the third prince, all need the third prince to be responsible." Lu Xinyan smiled, and there seemed to be deep meaning in her eyes, "On the third prince's shoulder The responsibility is not light."

Wu Sheng was stunned, the four fruits had been placed beside him, Lu Xinyan said: "Eat it quickly, before it gets dark, let's go a little further in and see if there are any caves or something that is safer place."

After she finished speaking, she said to Shuyun who had already eaten the fruit: "Shuyun, my arm is injured, please bandage it for me."

Only then did Shu Yun remember that Lu Xinyan blocked Wu Sheng's sword, and slapped his head, "Look at my brain!"

She walked between Lu Xinyan and Wu Sheng, blocking Wu Sheng's view with her back.

The wound had been injured for a long time, and horrible crimson blood clots coagulated on the wound, connecting the clothes and the skin together.

Shu Yun gasped, "Miss, I will separate the clothes from the wound first, you endure the pain."

"No need, let's bandage it first." Lu Xinyan said: "Clean up after going back."

Without clean water and disinfectant, it's probably not bad, Lu Xinyan doesn't want to suffer again.

"Miss, be patient."

When I was bandaging Wu Sheng's wound just now, every time I moved, I felt pain, probably more pain, but this time I didn't feel much, I gritted my teeth and passed.

After the dressing was finished, Lu Xinyan signaled to Shu Yun to help her stand up, "Third Prince, let's go."

At this time Wu Sheng had finished eating the fruit, wiped his hands, "Let's go."

It is actually dangerous to stay in the woods after dark, but it is safer in the woods than the Wuyuan people who do not know when they will find them.

The few people were not very lucky, and they didn't find any caves until dark, so they had to find two big trees to sit down and rest.

Shu Yun said: "Miss, third prince, you rest, I am on duty at night."

She knew that she was the weakest in combat among the three, so she took the initiative to invite Ying.

Lu Xinyan did not refuse, "You can find some dead leaves and grass nearby."

It is early autumn now, and it is still very hot during the day, but the temperature difference is a bit big at night, and it is even colder in the forest.

Today is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, there is a moon, the moonlight is bright and clear, the moonlight is blocked by dense leaves, and the light falling into the forest is very little, but I can still see some roads clearly, so I won’t be blind.

Shu Yun quickly found a pile of dead leaves and grass, and spread some on the ground, "Miss, lie down, and I'll sprinkle some on your body."

After everything was done, Shu Yun sat down and rested against the tree trunk.

Lu Xinyan was lying on the ground, thinking that she would not be able to fall asleep, but probably because she had exhausted herself that day, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was suddenly awakened by someone's patting, "Cousin, there is movement over there, let's go quickly."

She opened her eyes and saw that both Wu Sheng and Shu Yun had stood up, so she quickly sat up.

There seemed to be rustling sounds not far away, like someone walking through the woods in the middle of the night, or the sound of wild animals walking.

No matter what it is, it is not something they can stop now.

Lu Xinyan's drowsiness disappeared, she stood up with the support of Shu Yun, "Let's go."

The three walked forward cautiously, trying not to make any noise.

However, after all, inexperienced fleeing, forgetting where they lay, and the excessive dead leaves and grass are the best evidence.

Not long after the three of them left, about ten men in black appeared silently.

When the leader saw the pile of dead leaves suddenly popping up on the ground, he raised his hand slightly, and everyone stopped in a well-trained manner.

He pointed, and a man in black stepped forward to check the pile of dead leaves, and quickly whispered, "Boss, it's still hot."

"People haven't gone far, everyone be careful and chase after!"

"Yes."

The three of Lu Xinyan shuttled through the woods. Although those rustling sounds seemed to have disappeared, their instinct of fleeing for a day made them feel that the danger was getting closer.

So he unconsciously walked more and more hurriedly.

"In the front, I saw it, chase!" A low cry suddenly came from behind.

Lu Xinyan and the others felt their scalps go numb, "Run!"

It seems to be dawn at this time, the moon is setting in the west, and the east is not yet pale. It is the darkest time before dawn.

The forest suddenly became darker, and it was impossible to see what was ahead, and it became more difficult to escape in the dark.

However, for the ten men in black behind them, the impact was much smaller.

Because their kung fu is not bad, their night vision ability is much better than ordinary people.

Soon, the sound of life-threatening footsteps sounded behind them.

"Do it!" Someone pulled out the long sword abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, several sword drawing sounds came out neatly.

Wu Sheng, who was at the back of the formation, had to raise his sword to block and run.

A cliff appeared ahead, but it was too dark, and Shu Yun, who was running ahead, didn't notice it.

"Ah!" She stepped into the air and fell, her scream echoing in the air for a long time.

Lu Xinyan and Wu Sheng went to pull reflexively. Lu Xinyan wanted to pull Shuyun, but Wu Sheng wanted to pull her.

Wu Sheng held her back, but she failed to hold Shu Yun.

"Comb the clouds!"

Only countless echoes answered her.

"careful!"

A sword stabbed from behind, Wu Sheng let out an exclamation, and pulled Lu Xinyan around, barely avoiding the long sword.

However, he fell to the ground due to unsteady standing and rolled all the way down.

It turned out that there was a slope there.

The men in black were stunned, and after realizing it, they immediately chased after them with their swords.

The slope was steep and slippery, Lu Xinyan and Wu Sheng rolled all the way to the bottom without being caught up.

However, it was just lucky for a short while.

The darkness before dawn was very dark and short, when the sky turned pale.

At the end of the slope, there is a winding path.

Without the cover of the forest, the figures of the two were clearly visible.

The men in black quickly surrounded them.

Wu Sheng protected Lu Xinyan behind him, while rolling down, many sharp stones scratched their clothes, both of them were scarred and embarrassed.

The man in black didn't say a word of nonsense, and said directly: "Do it!"

Those sharp swords stabbed straight at the two of them with deadly sharpness.

Wu Sheng and Lu Xinyan resisted in a panic, and soon they were exhausted, especially Lu Xinyan, who soon had several new wounds on his body.

"Third prince, you can go and ignore me."

If Wu Sheng escapes alone, there may still be a glimmer of life.

"No! We're in one party!"

"You're gone, and we're still together."

"No!"

"There's no need to send your life here! Help me tell Shizi Xiao that I miss him very much and I've tried my best."

Wu Sheng shouted in despair: "No!"

"Let him avenge me and my child! Tell him I won't allow him to marry another woman!"

Seeing that Lu Xinyan was powerless to stop, when the sword was about to pierce her chest, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes at the end of the path.

Wu Sheng raised his head and looked at the leader on the horseback. His despairing eyes suddenly burst out with hope.

"Uncle! Help!"

-

The fighting in the palace went much smoother than everyone expected.

Think back to when Emperor Longde ascended the throne, the former prince rebelled and killed him for three days and three nights.

This time, the time of day and night is over.

To be precise, only half a day plus midnight.

From the fire on the West Street, after the Shuntian Prefecture governor sent a large number of officers and soldiers to fight the fire, the whole city was put under martial law, saying that the second prince had rebelled, and the first prince led people into the palace.

But in the middle of the night, Wuyuan's people took control of the entire palace.

Emperor Longde was trapped in the Wende Palace, and the dragon's eyes shot out a cold and fierce light.

If it had been before, it would have scared everyone into a cold sweat.However, at this time, it was just the last might of the trapped giant dragon, which was terrifying but incapable of intimidating people.

At this time, he was thinking, there are so many royal guards in the palace, and there are hidden masters in the palace, but they fell so quickly, it can only mean one thing, the palace has internal support!Not just one, but many!
In Emperor Longde's mind at this time, he was thinking about everyone around him, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that everyone was possible.

"Changchun!" He shouted in a low voice.

The door of Wende Hall opened, but it was not Changchun who came in, but Wuyuan who was calm and breezy.

Emperor Longde only felt his blood rushing up, and roared angrily: "You rebellious son!"

Wuyuan bowed politely, "Father, please calm down! The second brother has been arrested by the minister!"

Emperor Longde was shaking with anger, and threw an inkstone out casually, "You still want to lie to me!? Do you think I'm a fool?!"

"Since father is clear in his heart, then he should have guessed what this son-in-law is going to do."

"Don't even think about it! I will not give up the throne to you even if I die!"

"Really?" Wu Yuan smiled slightly, "Bring it up!"

Immediately, someone escorted two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys in brocade clothes into the room.

The two teenagers cried out in fright, "Father, save me! Father, please save my son's life!"

"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, it's very easy for you to survive. Quickly persuade Father to pass the throne to Brother Huang, and your lives can be saved."

"Father!" The fifth prince cried and knelt on the ground, "I beg you to give up the throne to the elder brother, my son has no heart to fight for the throne!"

The sixth prince cried: "Royal Father! None of the ministers! None of the other princes, please step aside! Royal Father, the ministers don't want to die, woo hoo."

"Do you think I will agree to this?" Emperor Longde said coldly, "Don't think about it!"

Wu Yuan looked at the fifth prince and the sixth prince with pity, "You two princes, it's not that the prince is cruel, but your father is too cruel. I went to Huangquan Road and became a ghost. Remember that the person you want to hate is your father. Emperor!"

He raised his hand lightly, the movement was extremely elegant, but the next second, there was an abrupt end to screams and splashes of blood.

The two young boys who grew up in rich clothes and fine food just fell into a pool of blood like this.

The lower hand of Emperor Longde's dragon robe was clenched into a fist, so tight that the veins on the back of his hand were straining.

"Father has twelve princes in total, and there are six more princes in the palace. If father refuses to agree tomorrow, my son will kill two more." Wu Yuan straightened his robe, "Father still has three days to think about it. If it really doesn't work, then I have no choice but to kill my father in the end, and treat it as being killed by the second emperor's younger brother. At that time, there will be no prince in the palace, and this final throne will still belong to my son."

"So what if you killed me!? Without the jade seal, your throne would be dishonorable!"

"My son can tell the outside world that this jade seal was destroyed by the second emperor's younger brother, and my son will just make another one! But this is a bit troublesome after all, so my son gave my father three days to consider it. If my father still disagrees in the end , the son-in-law has no choice but to make a bad move."

Wu Yuan saluted respectfully, "My son and minister will leave, father and emperor will rest earlier."

After saluting, he stood up straight, with his hands behind his back, and his posture was straight, as if he was the master of this Wende Palace.

"Father is unavoidably lonely alone, so my son asked the fifth and sixth brothers to accompany father."

Emperor Longde was too angry to say a word.

The gate of Wende Hall was slowly closed, and the smell of blood became more obvious in the semi-enclosed space.

Emperor Longde almost felt sick.

He covered his nose and looked over, only to see the two princes lying in a pool of blood, their eyes wide open, the fear in those eyes had not dissipated, and they were unwilling.

Emperor Longde looked at him suddenly, and seemed to be able to understand the deep meaning in his eyes: Father, why didn't you save your son! ?
His heart was pounding. Only other people had ever avoided his eyes. Emperor Longde, who had never avoided other people's eyes, subconsciously moved his eyes away at this moment.

But in my heart I hated it more and more.

Who the hell, who betrayed him? !

-

In a bedroom that was decorated luxuriously and elegantly yet lively, on a bed hung with a light pink gauze curtain, lay a girl in a pink skirt.

Her eyes were closed tightly, as if in a deep sleep.

There were two court ladies standing beside them, seeing the bead curtain swaying slightly, a man in a purple dress came in and was about to salute.

The man raised his hand to signal them to go out, and the two maids went out without a sound.

The man walked to the bed and leaned over to look at the sleeping girl on the bed.

Delicately drawn willow eyebrows, long and curled eyelashes, a tall but small and round nose, and rose-like lips.

In my impression, the lip color of girls is always light pink, plump and bright.

The man stretched out his hand involuntarily, with his index finger resting on the girl's chin, and his thumb lightly rubbed the red lips, a little rose red stained the fingertips.

"It turned out to be lip balm. I really grew up and know how to love beauty." The man smiled slightly, put down his robe, and sat on the head of the bed, but his hand never left his red lips.

In a daze, Xiao He felt a tingling pain on her lips, opened her eyes dimly, and was startled by the man's face that jumped into her eyes.

"Elder Prince?!" She almost screamed, and hid herself inside, while her heart stopped beating suddenly at that moment.

The soft touch under his hand suddenly disappeared, Wu Yuan was a little disappointed, but his face didn't show it, he naturally withdrew his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Are you awake? Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to prepare something for you."

"This... where is this? Why am I here?" Xiao He subconsciously hugged the pillow in her arms, and curled up in the corner of the bed.

She was clearly watching the fireworks last moment, why did she wake up in this inexplicable place, and she was with Wuyuan.

"Where do you think this is?"

Her evasive movement was very obvious, Wu Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, but his expression and tone were still soft.

Xiao He couldn't help but look at the furnishings in the house, the colors are bright, luxurious but not ostentatious, obviously not the simple and elegant Grand Prince's Mansion.

She took a closer look, and Mo Ming felt a little familiar.

An unbelievable thought came to mind, and Xiao He couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Does it look familiar?" Wuyuan said with a smile, "This is the Baihua Palace. You used to live in it. I had someone redecorate it."

The idea in his heart was confirmed, but Xiao He was even more surprised.

He caught her, but took her to the palace?What does it mean?
"In a few days, when I ascend the throne and become the emperor, I will make you my concubine."

Wu Yuan said lightly, but like a thunderbolt, Xiao He's mind went blank.

He is going to be emperor! ?This... what does this mean! ?

Could it be...he succeeded in forcing the palace! ?

Wu Yuan seemed to be able to read her thoughts, and looked at her with a smile, "That's what you thought."

Following Lu Xinyan's side, although Xiao He doesn't think much about things, she is not ignorant. She knows that Wu Yuan has done so much for the sake of the throne.

Emperor Longde was poisoned, and if he couldn't find an antidote, he would have at most a year or two to live. Although the battle for the throne between Wu Yuan and Wu Sheng had not been put on the table, everyone knew in private that the swords between the two sides were imminent.

But how could Wuyuan succeed so easily?She just fell asleep. Did she sleep for a long time?The lady and the others...

Xiao He didn't know how to hide her emotions, and those doubts clearly floated on her face. Wu Yuan patiently explained: "It's the morning of the [-]th. Your young lady escaped successfully yesterday. Although there is no news yet, but I Think fast."

"You sent someone to hunt down Miss?!" Xiao He asked with a pale face.

"It's not just her." Wu Yuan smiled slightly, that smile was like a spring breeze as before, but it made Xiao He shudder, "There is also your little lover, called Little Monkey, right? I specially told him to greet him well. "

"You?!" Xiao He's eyes were red, and she was shaking like Qiu He in the wind and rain. She tried not to let the tears fall, "Little Monkey is very powerful, you can't kill him!"

Wu Yuan was still smiling, but his eyes gradually turned cold, "One person can't kill him, ten people can't kill him, what about 100 people and 1000 people?"

The tears finally couldn't be held back, falling one by one like the dewdrops on the lotus leaves in the morning.

Wu Yuan suppressed the smile on his face, his lips were tightly pursed with a fierce aura, his eyes were sharp and cold, as if he was a different person.

He stretched out his hand to pull the struggling Xiao He out of the bed, pinched her chin with two fingers, and said softly and indifferently: "If you behave well, I may let him die happily, otherwise, I will let you see my means."

Xiao He stopped struggling, and looked at him with teary eyes, Wu Yuan smiled gently, and instantly changed back to the previous Wu Yuan.

He gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Don't cry, I like to see you smile. Like before, you smile when you see me, your eyes are shining, like stars, clean and bright. Stay by my side in the future, remember Smile more, you know?"

-

When the men in black around him fell down one by one, Lu Xinyan loosened her body and fell down.

"Biao sister-in-law!" Wu Sheng yelled, hugging Lu Xinyan's fallen body, "Uncle Huang, save cousin-in-law!"

The man on horseback has broad shoulders and strong waist, tall and straight like a mountain, sharp and handsome eyebrows, stained with the wind and frost of the years, and his eyes are like a deep pool, dangerous and charming.

His skin is dark and red, and it seems that he has been ravaged by wind and sand all year round, making him a little rough.However, this not only did not detract from his handsomeness, but made him exude an indestructible charm.

The man Wu Sheng called Emperor Uncle was King Rui, Emperor Longde's brother of the same father and mother, and King Rui Wu Rui who was stationed in Beizhou.

Seeing Wu Sheng's behavior, Wu Rui frowned. Even such an ordinary movement, performed by him, still has the charm that makes the woman's heart beat faster.

"Doctor Bai, take a look for her." His voice was deep and mellow, with the air of giving orders all the year round.

"Thank you, uncle." Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Doctor Bai, she is pregnant for about three months."

Doctor Bai glanced at Lu Xinyan, who was covered in blood, with worry flashing across his eyes, but he said calmly, "Third Prince, don't worry, I'm responsible for everything."

His calmness infected Wu Sheng. After handing Lu Xinyan to Doctor Bai, Wu Sheng walked up to Wu Rui, "Uncle Emperor, why are you here?"

Wu Rui didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Sheng'er, what's going on?"

Wu Sheng then recounted what happened yesterday, plus his own guesses.

He originally thought that Wu Rui would show a surprised expression when he heard that Wu Yuan forced the palace, but he didn't expect that Wu Rui still only frowned slightly and couldn't see any other expressions.

"By the way, Uncle Huang, we still have a companion who fell off a cliff, can Uncle Huang send someone to look for it?"

Wu Rui raised his hand, and five of the accompanying soldiers immediately came out and headed towards the direction Wu Sheng pointed.

"Thank you, uncle." Wu Sheng didn't care too much about Su Yun's life and death. In his capacity, it was an honor for Su Yun to die for him as a maid.

But he knew that Lu Xinyan cared, so he begged Wu Rui.

Here Doctor Bai took Lu Xinyan's pulse, fed her a medicine, and gave her two more injections, Lu Xinyan woke up leisurely.

Seeing this, Wu Sheng was overjoyed, and hurried over, "Biao sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Lu Xinyan said weakly: "My child..."

"The child is fine, fortunately he was treated early." Doctor Bai said: "After going back, rest in bed for a while and he will be fine."

"Thank you." Lu Xinyan said gratefully, "Excuse me..."

"My surname is Bai! Don't thank me, it was King Rui who saved you."

King Rui?Lu Xinyan couldn't help but look up, the man not far away was looking at her with a sharp aura all over his body.

As soon as their eyes collided, Wu Rui froze for a moment, then his eyes gradually became darker.

He strode over, with an unstoppable momentum, his eyes locked on Lu Xinyan, "Who are you?"

There was an irresistible force in his voice, and Lu Xinyan couldn't help answering: "I am the wife of the son of the Duke of Zhen, Lu Xinyan, the lord of Zhuzhu County."

"You are Lu Xinyan!? Ankang Bo Lu Congyuan's daughter Lu Xinyan!?"

A long sword was pulled out quickly, "Just right! Take your life!"
