Chapter 164: Suspicious

Although it is a reproachful tone, it is difficult to hide the color of concern. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I'm fine, but I'm a concubine." Feng Shu'an lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, and did not forget to secretly glance at the green crown guiltily. Only she knows how complicated her heart is now.

Lu Mian patted the dust on his body, and when he heard Feng Shu'an's words, he raised his head and sent her a gentle smile: "I'm fine." ”

"If I don't announce a doctor to take your pulse, it's so reassuring." Zhong Yang suggested.

"No need! Why don't you just wrestle, Your Majesty, you have every opportunity, so let's go back to the palace quickly! Feng Shu'an said with a smile, but that smile seemed to be awkward in Shui Mo'er's eyes.

Zhong Yang didn't agree immediately, just looked at Feng Shu'an, and then at the green crown, a strange atmosphere permeated the surroundings, and Feng Shu'an's heart also accelerated little by little with the increase of Zhong Yang's silent time.

"Your Majesty, I'll see you off." King Mingyang opened his mouth at the right time to break the strange awkward atmosphere and made a gesture of "please".

Zhong Yang glanced at him, a false smile appeared on his originally expressionless face, nodded, and walked out without giving them any more looks.

Watching King Mingyang and Zhong Yang slowly move away, Feng Shu'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Green Mian took Feng Shu'an's hand and found that her palms were sweaty, and asked worriedly.

Feng Shu'an shook her head and motioned for her to enter the house before talking, but was pulled by the green crown: "If you want to speak, let's go to my room!" ”

On the other side, King Mingyang sent Zhong Yang out of the post house, and there was already a low-key but luxurious carriage waiting. Zhong Yang got into the carriage, but he didn't go in directly, but lifted the curtain and said to Huo Minglin, the king of Mingyang: "I suddenly remembered, there are still some things I want to ask the prince, I wonder if the prince can make it convenient?" ”

Looking at Zhong Yang's hand stretched out to him, the smile on Huo Minglin's face froze.

"Why, can't the prince even reward me with this face?" Zhong Yang's red lips were hooked, and he raised a good-looking smile, but this smile looked so weird in Huo Minglin's eyes, although he didn't know what Zhong Yang wanted to ask him, but he only told him that it was definitely not a good thing.

"How come, I just don't dare to bother the emperor." Huo Minglin smiled, and got into the carriage by himself, Zhong Yang's thick black eyebrows wrinkled, the smile on his face did not change, but the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

The carriage is very spacious, more than enough to accommodate two people, and because it is a carriage dedicated to Zhong Yang leaving the palace, the inside of the carriage is covered with thick cushions, so even the people sitting in it will not feel very bumpy when they move. There was a brocade curtain bordered with jade beads hanging by the window, and the carriage moved after the two sat down, and occasionally the sound of the beads hitting the window frame was heard, which was crisp and pleasant, and it was very good. In the center is a small table made of bamboo, on which snacks and tea sets are placed, and the two sit across the table.

At this moment, Huo Minglin didn't have the heart to look at the layout in the carriage, because the question Zhong Yang asked him just now made him feel uneasy for some reason.

"Concubine Mian, is it a Nanyong?" Zhong Yang's voice was as gentle and good as ever, but in Huo Minglin's ears, it was so creepy.

"Yes."

"But I heard that the crown concubine was the prince's side concubine before?"

Huo Minglin chuckled in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change: "I don't know where the emperor heard such untrue news?" If it is the prince's side concubine, how can we be the emperor's concubine now, the emperor laughed. ”

Zhong Yang smiled: "Today's Emperor Nanyong used to be a prince, if the crown concubine is the prince's side concubine, why can't she be a concubine?" What is the prince nervous about? ”

"Haha, where am I nervous?" Huo Minglin stretched out his hand uncomfortably and patted his robe like dust, "But why did the emperor ask about the crown concubine?" There are a lot of things that the king is really inconvenient to say, the emperor knows, the crown concubine has always been the woman of our emperor, this time I came to Zhongyuan, and my emperor also told this king to protect the crown concubine. ”

Huo Minglin had something to say, but Zhong Yang just didn't understand it: "Where is it, it's just that I saw that Yu Xiang and Concubine Mian had a good conversation, so I just asked casually." I'm really curious, but what kind of family can cultivate such a well-spoken woman as a concubine with a clever heart. ”

Huo Minglin waved his hand: "The emperor praised it in seconds, but our concubine is indeed a good woman, otherwise she would not be favored by our emperor." It's just that the crown concubine is not from some aristocratic ......"

"Oh?" Zhong Yang raised his eyebrows, "Can a small family cultivate such a temperamental woman?" It's really rare, I really want to know, the maiden family of the crown concubine ......"

"No, no, no, the crown concubine has been an orphan since she was a child, her adoptive father's family farmed, and her life was okay, but she was fortunate to meet my emperor a few years ago, and then she entered the palace as a favorite concubine." Huo Minglin answered Zhong Yang's question without leaking.

"Oh?" Zhong Yang smiled slightly, as if he didn't expect such an answer, "It turns out that the temperament of the crown concubine is innate. It seems that Nanyong Palace is really a good place to raise people, but just now I saw that when the crown concubine walked, her steps were light, and she didn't look like a person who didn't know martial arts at all, why, could it be that martial arts were also learned in Nanyong Palace? ”

"This ...... Does the emperor like to observe people so much on weekdays, the matter of the crown concubine, I am afraid that the king can't say much, more precisely, this king knows only so much. Huo Minglin didn't know how to answer, and after thinking for a long time, he still felt that he could only reply to Zhong Yang's words like this, "Your Majesty, can this king leave?" ”

Zhong Yang smiled: "Of course you can, I invited King Mingyang to talk this time, I just wanted to ask casually, since I have already got the answer I want, the prince can leave at any time if he wants." It's just that before parting, I still have a question I want to ask, and I hope King Mingyang can answer me honestly. ”

"Of course, please say what the emperor wants to ask."

Zhong Yang glanced at Huo Minglin deeply, and then spoke: "In Nanyong, are Yuxiang and Concubine Mian already acquainted?" ”

Huo Minglin was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze away from Zhong Yang's eyes: "The emperor asked the wrong person, although my emperor asked this king to protect the crown concubine, but this king and the crown concubine have only known each other since she was a concubine, and this king really doesn't know about her past affairs." Besides, Princess Yuxiang and the emperor are not brothers and sisters, and it is more appropriate for the emperor to ask Princess Yuxiang in person. ”

"Is it really not clear, or do you not want to say?" The smile in Zhong Yang's eyes hid a sharp edge, and he just looked straight at Huo Minglin's slightly empty eyes.

Huo Minglin did not avoid his gaze this time, but took the initiative to go up, his eyes were open and clear, although he knew that Lu Mian's life experience was not simple, but he really didn't know whether she and Yu Xiang knew each other.

Zhong Yang put away the color in his eyes and said slowly: "Since it makes the prince feel embarrassed, I don't ask." Stop the car! ”

The carriage stopped steadily shortly after Zhong Yang's words, Huo Minglin did not speak again, but bowed to Zhong Yang, then turned around and lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage neatly. And Zhong Yang looked at his departing back, and a frightening ruthlessness appeared in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
