Chapter 6: The Night Before Darkness
Jianmen Pass, the first pass of Zhou Nanguo, the terrain is steep, the snow is flying all over the sky, the towering Jianmen Mountain goes straight to the sky, under the mountain, an unreachable fortification is being continuously reinforced, in the rear is a tent, the largest of which is the location of the current sixth prince Qin Yan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone in Zhou Nanguo knows that the sixth prince Qin Yan is not as good as the crown prince Qin Ming, neither has the outstanding talent of governing the country as the prince, nor does he have a superb martial arts, but he is still shameless, pretentious, and insists on saying that he has strengths, and only Wencai can handle it a little, but he was overwhelmed by the Rongwei County Lord of the capital, not to mention that the current Zhou Nanguo is a country and a country with peace on the surface, but in fact it is stormy, I don't know when the contradiction will break out, what is the use of good writing.
Last time in the palace, for some inexplicable reasons, Qin Yan was demoted to the bitter cold border pass by a holy decree of the old emperor, and threw him into the border guards.
"Your Highness, the palace has made an order." A lean man walked into the big tent, arched his hand at Qin Yan, and said in a deep voice.
"And the order, what the hell do they want me to do?" Qin Yan looked impatient.
"Your Majesty is going to hold a palace banquet and summon all the direct children of the royal family to return to Beijing." The lean man said.
"Palace banquet? What kind of banquet to hold at this time! Qin Yan pursed his lips.
"This... It is better for His Highness to leave for Beijing as soon as possible. "Cold sweat broke out on the thin man's body, these six princes are too presumptuous, if the emperor knows, he will definitely be furious.
"Got it, I'll leave for Beijing tomorrow." Qin Yan moved his gaze to the poetry book in his hand again and ignored it again.
"The last will be retired." The lean man quickly turned to leave, not wanting to stay for a second longer.
"The palace banquet... also summoned all the direct children of the royal family back to Beijing..."Looking at the door curtain that was still shaking, Qin Yan put down the book in his hand with a strange look.
Dressed in a black robe, Feng Rong left the Wind King's Mansion along the back door that Bishui often walked, carefully avoiding places with light as much as possible along the way, hiding his whole body in the dark.
She didn't notice that behind her, a black shadow had been following her, and if someone tried to get close to her, the shadow would swoop out to draw anyone who wanted to get closer.
Feng Feng Rong didn't expect that she would be able to come all the way to Su Changxin's teahouse, and none of the expected dangers happened, which made her begin to wonder if Fengxuan deliberately let her go, otherwise how could it be so smooth.
There were two long and one short knocks on the door, Feng Feng Rong stood nervously in front of the door, this was the first time she saw Su Changxin in her memory, she didn't expect that she would be nervous.
"Come on in." The door was opened, and Su Changxin, who was dressed in black, grabbed Feng Rong's hand and pulled her into the teahouse, and then quickly closed the door of the teahouse.
"You sit down first, I'll bring you some hot tea, don't freeze on such a cold day." Su Changxin smiled gently, turned around and went to the backyard to bring out the tea that had been warm before, the temperature of the tea was just right, warm but not hot.
"Thank you." Feng Rong took the tea, she was indeed frozen, the night after the snow was unusually cold, and the tea that Su Changxin brought at this time was more useful to her than anything else.
"What's going on?" Su Changxin asked while pouring tea for Feng Rong.
"My father sent someone to live in my West Wing Courtyard, and I am very sure that she is here to monitor me, and I think that the plan has to be planned in advance, so I came to you to get what I asked you to prepare." Feng Rong took the cup in Su Changxin's hand, his face solemn.
"It's going to be faster, I just found out that the emperor is going to hold a palace banquet in the near future, and I specially ordered to recall the royal children who are outside, I estimate that in less than three days, the six princes will rush back to the capital from Jianmen Pass." Su Changxin nodded and agreed.
"Three days... No wonder my father specially sent someone to watch my every move, it turned out to be like this..."Feng Rong frowned, the time left for her was short, and the emperor interfered so sideways, there were three days left in an instant, if she couldn't prepare a perfect escape plan within three days, then she could only marry the sixth prince and marry.
As soon as she thought of this, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on Feng Rong's face, she came here through thousands of years, not to be used as a bargaining chip to give to others as a wife!
Su Changxin looked at the trace of evil that appeared on Feng Fengrong's face, and his heart was shocked, and he vaguely felt that some things had changed in Feng Rong, but he couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it carefully.
"Don't worry, no matter what the price is, I won't let you marry someone you don't love." Su Changxin suddenly smiled and reached out to straighten Feng Fengrong's slightly messy hair.
Feng Rong's heart trembled, and his eyes subconsciously looked to the side, and the heat of the teapot curled up, separating the two of them.
"I have prepared the medicines you asked me to prepare, whether you need them or not, you have to think about it carefully, once you really do this, it will be a lifetime of infamy, your reputation will be ruined, and you will be hunted down and killed!" Su Changxin suddenly became serious.
Feng Rong was stunned for a moment, then laughed quietly, and looked at Su Changxin's unusually good-looking face out of the corner of his eyes.
"Changxin, no matter what, I will not allow myself to be given to others as an item, no matter what the cost."
Feng Rong shook her head, just like Su Changxin said, if she really chose to poison her father and poison the sixth prince, then she would really have to face infamy and hunting, but even so, she was still willing.
"You're still so extreme." Su Changxin smiled, the amorous Rong in his eyes has never been a compassionate person, "I have also prepared another medicine for you, don't use it as a last resort, it is likely to leave you with serious sequelae." ”
Two small white pill bottles were placed on the table, one wrapped in a bright red knot and the other printed with a turquoise pattern.
"I won't use them until the end, it's just two last resorts." Putting away the medicine bottle, Feng Rong smiled lightly.
"The red is cocoon, the green is Bihuan, I also have a fast horse and bags here, you can come and pick it up at any time." Su Chang said.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Feng Rong nodded, put on his black robe again, and hid in the darkness and left quickly.
Su Changxin looked at the back of Feng Rong leaving, his face was full of worry, and he followed closely in her direction, passing quickly.
West Wing Courtyard
The candles on the table kept beating, and Mrs. May sat quietly in her room, carefully handling the various secret letters in her hand. She has most of the eyeliner of the Wind King's Mansion in the palace, and now that the Wind King is alone in the capital, it is this special period, no matter what the reason, she has to be cautious.
Suddenly, the candlelight on the table went out, and the sound of opening the door sounded, and it became extremely clear in this snowy night, Mrs. May's face changed, and she put away the secret letter on the table, and looked in the direction of the door vigilantly, fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight, although there was no light, but it was not completely invisible.
"Mrs. May." A gentle voice appeared in Mrs. Mei's ears, Mrs. Mei was startled, and her body subconsciously drew a sharp knife from her sleeve, the voice was unfamiliar, not her own person! Then whoever it is, let's kill it first!
It's better to kill by mistake than to let go!
The man didn't dodge or dodge, just stretched out two fingers, and easily grabbed the dagger that stabbed in front of him, Mrs. Mei twitched, the dagger that was clamped did not move at all, her face instantly became ugly, and she stared up at the man in black in front of her.
"Who are you!" Mrs. May asked sharply, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, dripping down her sideburns and falling to the ground.
"You don't care who I am, I'm just here to remind you, since the prince's patience has reached the limit, and the six princes have already left to return to the capital, then it's best to move quickly if you want to do anything, but, in this Wind King's Mansion, there are some people you can't move, it's best to brighten your eyes for me!" The man's voice was gentle, but at the end, there was an undisguised murderous aura in his tone, which made Mrs. May's heart tremble.
"It's not your turn to do what we want to do!" Mrs. May's voice was fierce, but there was already an unconcealable fear in it.
"Hmph." The man sneered, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Madame May's neck.
Mrs. May saw a pair of white palms stretching out from the darkness and grabbing her neck, but the owner of these hands was completely hidden in the darkness, obviously only an arm's length away, but her eyes were wide and she couldn't see the person's appearance.
"You'd better remember what I said, and tell your master honestly tomorrow." The man smiled softly, let go of his hand, and let Madame May slide to the ground, and by the time she looked up again, the person in front of her was long gone, and the candle on the table was lit again.
"Who the hell is it?"
"The people in the Wind King's Mansion... Is it amorous glory? ”
Mrs. May gritted her teeth and looked at the wide open window, and the cool breeze blew on her, so that she couldn't help but tighten her clothes.
