Chapter 294: Exposed
Mu Xiaofeng's heart was shocked, and the hairs on his body instantly stood on end.
This secret passage is obviously a top secret, and Xia Xingshen promised her that no more than three people will know about it.
How could someone else suddenly come in?
Or was it before her?
Is it waiting for her here?
All the thoughts flashed, and the slightly cool hand had gently grabbed her wrist, and opened her five fingers in an instant, and put the slightly cool but comfortable and warm five fingers into her palm.
Ten fingers interlocked!
The familiar breath suddenly blew on the tip of her nose, and the girl's heart was relieved, and she let out a long breath.
But then she looked up in annoyance, and glared fiercely into the darkness.
At this time, the door outside the private room had been quietly pushed open, and Mu Xiaofeng heard the movement and understood that she must not make a sound.
But after being unwilling to be startled by that person, he held her palm so freely.
After thinking about it, she quietly lifted her foot, and then quietly stepped on the top of his boot with feeling.
Chu Lige clasped her delicate five fingers, secretly rejoicing in his heart, thinking that he would definitely not give Xia Xingshen a chance to look into his eyes. Unexpectedly, a slight pain suddenly came from under his feet, knowing that this woman was very annoyed that he was hiding here to scare her.
Although this pain was not much stronger than an ant bite to him, but after thinking about it, he cooperated with a shallow and painful look, and looked at her with hope.
Mu Xiaofeng suddenly saw his shining eyes in the dark passage, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly twitched his feet.
Then he waved his hand and signaled him to be quiet.
She pressed her ear to the wall, listening carefully to what was going on outside. I heard someone push open the door, and sure enough, there were two light and cautious footsteps.
"What about people?" I heard a young female voice say in surprise, "Why aren't others here?" ”
Then there was a low, cold and creepy male voice, and he sneered, "It's right here." ”
"Ah, you are ......" the woman's panicked cry was only halfway through and then silent.
Mu Xiaofeng listened, probably struggling a little for a moment or two, and then there was no movement. I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, pampered, it really didn't work.
However, then I heard a rather stiff male voice suppressed his doubts and said, "Hey, this woman is obedient, and she will be subdued in one move, it seems that something is not right." ”
"Smack!" After a sound, someone couldn't help but scream "ouch", "Why are you hitting my brain?" ”
"Because you're stupid!" One of them sneered sadly, "If you don't hit it twice, how can this stupid head be enlightened." ”
"What's wrong?" The man snorted contemptuously, "Who said that the maidservants around her are all strong in martial arts, isn't it normal to occasionally bring out a servant girl who doesn't know martial arts?" You are verbose and suspicious. ”
"I think eighty percent is because you have been in Nanchu for a long time, and you have also learned the intrigue of the Nanchu people."
"Come on, you guys." The other person's voice was not so blunt, but when Mu Xiaofeng listened to it, he felt that the voice was gloomy and terrifying, "Hurry up and withdraw when you're done, what are you talking about here." ”
Then she listened again, and heard the sound of hurried and orderly but incomparably light footsteps.
Mu Xiaofeng sighed silently again, and subconsciously reached out and touched the wall. I thought that this thing was really good, not only good for hiding, but also for sound insulation, oh no, it was absolutely good for the effect of isolating the breath.
She is not as good as someone around her who knows martial arts, and can control her breath freely.
She had been hiding inside, not being noticed by outsiders, and these two walls definitely played an extremely important role.
Listening to the footsteps outside, there was no sound in an instant, and Mu Xiaofeng was not in a hurry to go out.
Because in addition to that group of people, there is another group, and she reckons that it will be time to touch it again.
Although staying in this cramped space makes people feel depressed, but when she thinks of the woman who was taken away in her place outside, she secretly feels happy in her heart.
So I continued to stay here, and I didn't feel so uncomfortable for a while.
Chu Lige clasped her delicate five fingers tightly, this would be absolutely unwilling to leave so quickly. Such an opportunity to breathe, an opportunity to stare at her quietly and without scruples in the dark, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he didn't cherish this opportunity, and he felt sorry for himself.
Just as the girl listened and thought intently, he held her fingertips and rubbed them in his palm, and his feet quietly leaned against her.
Smelling the faint and seductive fragrance wafting from her body, there was a faint pain in her chest.
His eyes dimmed, and he took a breath secretly, but he would rather endure the pain that had haunted him for more than ten or twenty years, rather than give up the opportunity to get close to her in front of him.
As if inadvertently, the moment he raised his head and stared, his slightly cool but warm thin lips gently crossed her forehead.
The familiar and unfamiliar touch reached the bottom of his heart, and Chu Lige's noble and straight posture in the dark was also slightly shocked.
Mu Xiaofeng was so focused on the movements of the people outside that he didn't notice him approaching quietly. It was only when his faint cold green bamboo breath suddenly became entangled with her breath that he suddenly noticed the little thoughts hidden under his indifferent appearance.
The moment the thin lips approached, she suddenly sensed his intentions, she could have stepped back and staggered, but her heart hesitated slightly when she moved her toes.
Chu Lige was such a keen person, she had already realized with a movement of her toes, since he was determined to get closer, how could he allow her to retreat.
The clasped five fingers tightened, gently pulling her into his arms, and then not giving her a chance to hesitate and retreat.
The slightly cool lips had gently crossed her forehead as if with an electric shock.
Mu Xiaofeng's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly in this seemingly inadvertent touch. However, she quietly shook the other hand under her sleeve, preventing the tremor in her heart from being revealed.
Just then, there was movement outside.
"Huh, no one?" After a steady footstep, it was a surprised male voice, "Have you already succeeded?" It's fast enough. ”
"It's good to get it," another voice said with a sigh of relief, "our mission is successfully completed, and we can withdraw now." ”
Mu Xiaofeng listened to their footsteps in a flash, and thought happily that what she was going to do today could be regarded as a successful completion.
Chu Lige clasped her delicate and slender five fingers, and still didn't want to let go, but the girl struggled hard, and after she couldn't break free, she angrily broke him away with the fingers of her other hand.
Chu Lige looked at her angry and annoyed appearance, frowned secretly, and looked at her with a blank look, although he didn't know why, he finally let go of his hand.
He was afraid that if she broke it down like this, she would hurt herself.
As soon as he let go, Mu Xiaofeng immediately retreated along the dark path. only glanced at him hurriedly in the dark, a very complicated look, Chu Lige seemed to understand it.
But she didn't give him a chance to stay here and continue to understand, and after a glance, she hurriedly walked out of the dark passage.
Chu Lige still stayed in place, holding the fingers that had just clasped her five fingers in a daze, and the beautiful residual warmth of her fingertips seemed to remain in his palm. The unique fragrance that belongs to her seems to spread to the bottom of her heart through her fingertips, and it lingers deeply.
But why did she ......?
Outside, the excitement of the special festival of Guanyin's birthday continues in the streets and alleys of Beijing.
When the excitement was getting dark, it finally gradually dispersed, and at this hour, Mu Xiaofeng, who should have returned home a long time ago, was still nowhere to be seen.
And Xia Xingheng, who has disappeared a long time ago, still disappeared in the vast sea of people at this hour.
That night, both the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the Mu Mansion nervously sent a lot of people, and the hidden and anxious people in the capital were looking for the missing people.
The tense atmosphere of searching for the missing person in the two prefectures lasted for two days and still did not dissipate.
Whether it is Xia Xingheng or Mu Xiaofeng, they all seem to have completely disappeared as if they suddenly sank into the sea after Guanyin's birthday.
When the news reached the Fengqi Palace with red tiles and high walls, the queen's cold and proud face all year round finally showed a slight smile.
"Mu Xiaofeng, this palace said that no one can always be a victorious general."
Look, the speed at which feng shui turns is always very fast.
Mama Feng saw that she was in a good mood, and she also smiled and complimented, "That's it, she is a yellow-haired girl, how can she have the means to strategize." At most, it's just smarter than ordinary people, if it weren't for the fact that you deliberately showed her vigilance, how could there be a chance to make her proud. ”
The smile lines on the corners of the queen's mouth were obvious, and she was obviously very useful to Mama Feng's compliment.
She casually picked up the teacup and took a sip of ginseng tea, and asked casually, "Yuan Ning hasn't done anything these days, right?" ”
Mama Feng's heart tightened, and she hesitated for a moment before replying, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the slave also knows the importance when she looks at Princess Yuanning." ”
The queen would be in a good mood, so she didn't pick Princess Yuanning's thorn, but said lightly, "If she really knows the severity, the palace will be relieved." ”
Mama Feng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Niangniang, are you going to see the princess?" The slave maid heard that the princess had been sick for the past two days, and had been lying in the palace and did not want to come out. ”
The queen chuckled in her heart, and her brows immediately frowned, "You said she was sick and hiding in the palace for the past two days?" ”
Seeing her uncertain expression, Mama Feng's heart immediately tightened, and she secretly sighed badly. With a reluctant smile on his face, he comforted, "Don't worry, don't worry, the slave will go to see the princess in person." ”
The queen frowned and waved her hand, "Go quickly." ”
Mama Feng didn't dare to hesitate, the queen was so anxious, she must have realized that there was something wrong with Princess Yuanning.
She blessed the queen, and then walked out of Fengqi Palace quickly. While walking, I secretly prayed in my heart, God bless, Princess Yuanning is really just hiding in the palace with a bad body and not wanting to come out to see people.
Don't, don't be what she thinks.
The palace where Princess Yuanning lives is called Qunfang Palace, of course, she is not the only princess, but because she is the queen's concubine, she lives in the main hall, and one person occupies most of the palace rooms in the front hall of Qunfang Palace.
Normally, without her permission, the princesses who lived in the apse and other side halls did not dare to appear in front of her.
In fact, even with her consent, the rest of the princesses were unwilling to show their faces in front of her. With her domineering and ferocious temper, in this palace, not only the palace people who served her were afraid of her like a tiger, but also the other princesses and sisters, all of whom were afraid of her and hated her.
So basically what happened to her, the other princesses generally wouldn't know, and even if they did, those princesses would pretend to be deaf and dumb and didn't know.
In the Qunfang Palace, the princess Yuanning's eldest palace maid Baozhu heard that Mama Feng had come to visit the princess in person, and she was immediately frightened.
She kept walking around Princess Yuanning's bedroom with a white face, and there were words in her mouth, "What should I do?" What to do? I can't cover it, where are you, princess? ”
Two days and two nights, two days and two nights have passed since Guanyin's birthday.
Princess Yuanning has not returned since she slipped out of the palace on Guanyin's birthday.
Baozhu has been holding on to the past two days, not allowing herself to show her flaws, only secretly hoping that Princess Yuanning can return to the palace as soon as possible, as long as Princess Yuanning can return to the palace before the queen knows, her little life will be saved.
It is precisely because of the discord between Princess Yuanning and the other sisters that Baozhu was able to impersonate for two days without being discovered.
But now, since Mama Feng personally rushed over at night, it must have been at the will of the queen's mother.
I must see Princess Yuanning herself before I go back to my mother.
"What should I do? What exactly should I do? ”
Baozhu was so anxious that she was covered in cold sweat and soaked her clothes, but no matter how anxious she was in the dormitory, she couldn't come up with a perfect response.
As soon as Mama Feng arrived, the princess would definitely not be able to hide the disappearance two days ago, and Baozhu couldn't help but tremble all over.
"I'm dead, I'm going to die this time."
Mama Feng asked where the princess went, and she would definitely have to recruit ....... Baozhu imagined that he was facing the queen mother who was cold all the year round, even to Princess Yuanning, her own daughter, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Regardless of whether she recruits the truth or not, with the queen's personality, she will definitely not let her go.
Baozhu gritted his teeth, thought about Mama Feng, who was almost at the door, closed his eyes, and secretly pressed the despair and unwillingness in his heart to the bottom of his heart.
In the blink of an eye, Mama Feng arrived.
"Sister Baozhu? Sister Baozhu? The little palace maid guarding the door saw Mama Feng's stereotypical face, and she trembled with fear. She glanced at Mama Feng timidly, and immediately ran outside the door and said loudly inside, "Mama Feng is here, you should come out quickly." ”
But the little palace maid called a few times, but there was still no movement inside.
Mama Feng waited impatiently at the door, so she said, "Okay, don't call here, I'll go inside and take a look at the princess." ”
But when she pushed open the door, she was almost frightened by what she saw.
However, even though she pretended to be calm and patted her chest, she still couldn't help but stumble under her feet, and her body shook a few times before she barely stabilized.
The little palace maid who came in after her was surprised when she saw her strange reaction, wondering if Mama Feng accidentally tripped while walking just now, "Mama Feng, you...... Yes? ”
