The prince knew that it was still his original men who were escorting him outside. But he knew better in his heart that the unusually powerful invisible mystery guard that was only subordinate to the emperor must also be secretly accompanying him.

This angry questioning sentence was naturally aimed at the only thin man in black clothes he had ever seen before.

The carriage walked on the official road slowly, and everything seemed so ordinary and ordinary.

However, the prince's questioning shouted out, but this illusion of calm on the surface of harmony was broken. The entourage seemed to become nervous at once, perhaps infected by their atmosphere, and even the fallen leaves on the side of the road flew in the wind and circled in the air, and whimpered more and more rapidly, and made a whimpering sound similar to that of a human crying.

All kinds of sudden sounds are mixed together, which makes people feel more and more tense than ever.

After a while, just when the prince was discouraged and thought that no one would answer his anger, the voice that was so cold as if it came out of hell sounded strangely in his ears, "It's defense, it's also protection." ”

Hearing this cold voice at first glance, the prince was instantly so shocked that he almost rolled down to the bone, and when he settled down, he thought about it again and was stunned.

After thinking about it a little longer, I realized what this seemed to be a contradiction.

So, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, it turned out that my martial arts were imprisoned to prevent me from escaping; It was also to make it easier to keep me, so he imprisoned my martial arts. ”

No one paid attention to the prince's unwillingness and self-deprecation, and the carriage continued to walk unhurriedly in the direction of the capital.

As the man in black said, in order to guard against and protect the prince, the route they chose could not be the same as when they came, and of course the speed could not be compared with when they came.

Although the matter of the crown prince leaving the imperial tomb without permission is a secret, who dares to guarantee that this secret will not be exposed? Who can guarantee that others will not know the news sooner rather than later?

If the prince's opponent set up an ambush along the way, he was afraid that the Dark Dragon Guard would not be able to bear it.

In order to ensure the safety of the prince to the greatest extent, and to prevent the possibility of the prince escaping to the greatest extent, the route they chose to return to Beijing was much more demanding.

You can't go to something that's too busy, and you can't go to something that's too remote.

You can't go too complicated or too simple.

Moreover, according to Emperor Chu's intentions, they were going to secretly escort the prince back to Beijing all the way. At least so far, on the surface, no one knows that the crown prince has left the imperial tomb.

All in all, they all have to choose the mediocre route along the way.

In this way, the time is naturally much more than when the Dark Dragon Guard rushed to Yucheng.

On this day, it was only dark for more than an hour, but the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard had already secretly ordered someone to give an order, and they would rest for the night in the small city in front of them, and then set off tomorrow morning.

This is the first time that the prince has stayed in a small city, he grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, even if he was punished by Emperor Chu to go to the imperial tomb, he has not suffered any material suffering.

Now when I stepped into the inn, which was said to be a good place in this small city, I found that everything inside seemed to exude a stale musty smell, and I immediately turned black, turned around and was about to slam the door and leave.

"Where does Gongzi Chen want to go?"

The prince's heart was shocked, because it was the thin man in black clothes he had only seen before.

The man had a very indifferent attitude, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and then crossed him without squinting, walked into the inn lobby from the door, and only continued to float lightly, "Eighty miles ahead, there are mountains and forests, which are not only convenient for Tibetans, but also convenient for Tibetan beasts, especially huge and fierce beasts. ”

After saying this, he left without looking back. No one persuaded the prince again, but the prince's steps to the outside stopped, and then he turned around in an extremely stiff posture, turned back and walked into the inn angrily.

Time rewinds back to the night when Dark Dragon Wei and his party first met the prince in the alley, and that night, Fengqi Palace was also not peaceful.

Of course, this is not peaceful, and it is not that anyone dares to break into the forbidden palace to assassinate the queen.

Instead, the queen finally received uncertain news at this time, guessing that Emperor Chu might have secretly sent someone to a certain place to besiege the crown prince a day and a night ago.

"How did his deeds come to light?" The queen has been smiling all year round, and her cold face has been stiff for many years, and anyone who sees it will first feel a little deep fear in her heart.

This made her frown twice, and made her cold and unmatched face look cold and unapproachable.

"Niangniang, there is no news about the imperial tomb." Mama Feng is familiar with the queen's temper, and she will unconsciously and carefully lower her voice when she replies.

The queen gave her a cold look, but did not speak.

When Mama Feng saw her eyes, she immediately chuckled in her heart, and she wanted to slap herself with a big mouth, but she actually said the wrong thing at this time.

But the queen didn't speak, so she naturally didn't dare to make her own opinions.

The queen held her forehead and thought for a while before she said slowly, "Send a letter to my brother and ask him to warn Donghai not to act rashly, so as not to fall into the trap." ”

She had planned things so thoroughly, how could she go wrong at this juncture?

She had to think carefully about how to modify and make up for the follow-up.

Mama Feng thought for a moment before she asked tentatively, "Niangniang, where is Your Highness?" ”

Although the news is not yet certain, if Emperor Chu is already suspicious, I am afraid that this matter will become certain sooner or later, and Niangniang should have made plans as soon as possible.

"Don't pay attention to it for the time being," the queen's phoenix eyes were half-drooping, but the cold eyebrows were still full of confidence that could not be questioned. She sneered and seemed to say to herself, "No matter what, he has to take care of this palace." ”

Mama Feng blessed her with a blessing, and then went out to deliver a letter to Li Huaitian.

One of the reasons why the queen didn't move, she was still waiting for the results over there.

One more day, everything over there should have come to fruition. She believed that once this result became a reality, the prince would be safe, and all her efforts would be richly rewarded.

"Tonight, all people will be punished by heaven, and the mandate of heaven cannot be violated......." She murmured in the glittering hall, no one came close to serve, and the palace maids who stood far away could only vaguely see her lips tremble, but no one could hear what she was saying.

A small trick like poisoning is easy for others to catch and expose themselves, and there is no half of the resourcefulness content, and the queen generally disdains to use such a trick.

In addition, in the Temple of Heaven, there is now a highly respected Master Yuankong personally guarding it, who would be stupid enough to poison people in front of him.

All she has to do is wait, spend a little patience and wait quietly, and the result she wants will naturally come.

The night passed in silence in peace and unrest.

The next day, the sky was bright, and after Master Yuankong personally checked the scriptures copied by Mu Xiaofeng and the others, he confirmed that they were qualified, and everyone knelt down and prayed sincerely, and then burned the scriptures at an auspicious time, and this matter of crossing the catastrophe and eliminating the disaster finally came to a successful end.

"What? You say they—everybody went home safe and sound? "The queen, who has always only looked at all beings with a graceful and sparse smile, shouted out in front of people for the first time.

"Mama Feng, are you sure this news is not mistaken? Did all of them really go back safe and sound? ”

"Do you know what happened in the Imperial Dome last night?"

"How could they be?"

"Niangniang," although Mama Feng couldn't bear to be disappointed, but she had to bite the bullet and tell the truth, "The slave has already inquired about everything clearly, and some strange things did happen in the Imperial Dome last night, but in the end, with the timely help of Master Yuankong, everything passed safely." ”

"Round Sky?" The queen was stunned for a moment, she frowned and slowly regained her composure, "Is it his last bad thing?" ”

"That old bald donkey, how can he ruin the big things of the palace at the last moment."

"Niangniang," Mama Feng was so frightened that she hurriedly ran close to the queen, but she didn't have the courage to reach out to cover the queen's mouth, so she had to plead, and then persuaded in a low voice, "Master Yuankong is respected and is known for his compassion. ”

The implication is to remind the queen not to make a mistake in anger in front of the public, and then scold the old monk.

Even if you hate it in your heart, don't forget that it is difficult to commit public anger.

The queen had to stop hatefully, but after a few turns of thought in her heart, she still couldn't understand why the old bald donkey wanted to go back on her business.

The old bald donkey clearly promised that she would not meddle in her affairs, in order to repay her parents for their kindness to him back then.

Unexpectedly, this respected old bald donkey would also talk big words and break her trust.

Thinking of this, the queen hated even more in her heart.

Now that this is a miscalculation, other things have to be planned.

Originally, as soon as Mu Xiaofeng and a few of them died, Chu Lige's evil seed immediately lost his support. That evil seed will not live long, and that old man will not be able to sit in that position for long.

As long as the time comes, the prince will come back with the filial piety of his father seeking medicine, and the throne will naturally be in the pocket of the prince, the prince of Southern Chu.

Now it's really hateful, and the whole plan has been disrupted by the old bald donkey.

When the queen was anxious to think of countermeasures to remedy it, Mu Xiaofeng was not idle when she returned to the mansion.

Li Pinglan, that old witch, has a big appetite and wants to serve them all in one go? The woman didn't touch her stomach beforehand, and she wasn't afraid to die if she swallowed so much in one gulp.

Want to take advantage of her brother's physique to be allergic to a certain ink inkstone, and make a heavenly punishment to trap all of them in the Imperial Dome and wipe them out?

It's a pity that even if the queen is shrewd, there are times when she is confused.

The identity of the master of the round sky, the queen mother did not dig into the ground in advance, and she dared to believe it!

She can only say that overconfident people always have a time to fall behind.

"Leng Yue, I remember the day when the subordinates will come to congratulate soon, right?" When he returned to Fenglin Residence, Mu Xiaofeng sat down in the flower hall and immediately lowered his head and worked hard to write.
