Chapter 23: Intercession

The two people, who had never seen each other since they were injured, were facing each other as if they were in a different world, and they looked at each other quietly, saying a thousand words but not knowing where to start.

"Brother Yao, your injury-" Chu Xiangwan looked at Huangfu Jingyao's bloodstained body, and tears unconsciously welled up in his eyes.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about, what kind of person is Huangfu Jingyao, how can she fall down so easily." Huangfu Jingyao wiped away Chu Xiangwan's tears and took her into his arms.

"How is your body now? Why were you so impulsive that day, you had to be bound by the Huns, and you also obeyed Gongsan. ”

"Seeing the Huns' knife on your neck, every time you get closer, my heart is tense, I would rather be in danger myself than let you be hurt in the slightest."

However, the loss of martial arts is tantamount to the loss of his right-hand man for a general who has fought on the battlefield. I know your ambitions, and by doing so, you are cutting off your arm. Chu Xiangwan looked directly at Huangfu Jingyao.

"It's okay, Ning Yanchen has already helped me detoxify, but my strength has not recovered for the time being, you don't have to worry."

"Then what if you are really taken away by the Huns or Mr. Ning can't be treated? Do you know it, the consequences are unimaginable. Chu Xiangwan said fearfully.

"Even if I lose everything, I will save you, if you don't have it, all this is just a waste." Huangfu Jingyao's domineering affection is the calamity of all women, but this has always belonged to only one woman. He suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, I didn't know that Huangfu Jingyao turned out to be an amorous man who loves beauty and doesn't love the country." When he said this, he stared at Chu Xiangwan's eyes and poured all the love of a man.

"Brother Yao, that day, I thought that maybe my appearance was a mistake, and I failed you and the emperor, maybe my death can make all this disappear." Chu Xiangwan said solemnly.

"Later, you have always been smart, how can you not see the relationship between me and the emperor clearly. We were born hostile to each other, and this is the sorrow of the royal family, and the brothers and sisters, before the throne, are not worth mentioning. Your appearance will only make me more aware of what it takes to be with you. So, don't give up on yourself again, if you're gone, I don't know what tragic things I'm going to do. ”

"Brother Yao, I never knew that loving someone would be so hard, but I am still grateful to God for giving us the opportunity to meet each other." Chu Xiangwan leaned on Huangfu Jingyao's arms and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Late, why shouldn't I?"

"Okay, time is of the essence, let's get down to business. The emperor's meaning this time is that I am afraid that he has to treat you for a serious crime. Chu Xiangwan said worriedly.

"Yes, when the Imperial Forest Army rushed into the Rui Palace, I knew the emperor's intentions this time. That secret fold is just a cover for the Queen Mother. If I want to kill the emperor, why do I need the Huns to make a move? It's ridiculous. ”

"Yes, I understand, as soon as I woke up the day before yesterday, the emperor had already tested the relationship between you and me. I'm thinking, you were convicted so quickly this time, don't you know if it's because the emperor began to suspect us? ”

"He was suspicious." There was a moment of killing intent in Huangfu Jingyao's eyes.

"Yes, so, what are you going to do about this secret fold? In case the emperor really has murderous intent, then-"

"Later, do you believe me?" Huangfu looked at Chu Xiangwan and asked.

"I've always believed it." Chu Xiangwan nodded firmly.

"Okay, you go back to the palace now, don't say anything, don't do anything, just put yourself out of the world."

"But—"

"Don't do it, it's a great risk for you to come to see me tonight, your body injury has not healed, it is better to go back to the palace and rest. Believe me, no one in this world can touch me casually. Remember, take care of yourself, I'm afraid it's been a long time since I've come to see you. ”

"Okay, I've made a note of it, you take care." Chu Xiangwan held Huangfu Jingyao's hand tightly.

"Liuyun, please do one thing, help me take care of her." Huangfu Jingyao's face was sincere.

"Lord Wang, what you explained, I will definitely do it." Sun Liuyun solemnly promised.

The two of them left the cell, and Chu Xiangwan returned to the Minxun Hall safely.

"Come out, you've been around long enough." Huangfu Jingyao said alone.

"Haha, Jing Yao, I can't imagine that you can still know that I am here after you have lost all your skills, I really admire it." Ning Yanchen flew down from the roof of the cell, and did not forget to tease Huangfu Jingyao.

"I can still feel your breath, but since you're here early, why don't you show up."

"You know, my identity is the most unsuitable person and thing in this palace, but since you and I are confidants, I still have to come here, and as for other people, I'm still rare. However, I want to say that after three years, your little beauty is still as worried about you as she was at the beginning. ”

"Ning Yanchen, you don't talk nonsense, have you done everything I asked you to do?"

"Aren't you at ease with me? When have you ever been disappointed? Tomorrow will be known, so you can stay all night. ”

Min Xun Temple.

"Miss, you're back. I'm dying of waiting. Qian'er saw the young lady enter the dormitory, and her hanging heart finally let go.

"Well, nothing happened while I wasn't there, was it?" Chu Xiangwan raised his head and asked.

"No, I've been pretending that you're hiding under the covers, and the minions think you've rested early and don't dare to come in and disturb you. It's just that I'm worried that Miss will be found in the prison, Miss, have you seen King Rui? ”

"Well, I'm tired, you go down."

Seeing that Chu Xiangwan didn't want to say much, Qian'er thought that Miss Xu was tired, so she also withdrew.

Chu Xiangwan was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking that Huangfu Jingyao didn't know what kind of torture he would receive in prison, and she read in her mouth: "Your Majesty, since when did you become so ruthless?" ”

On the second day, there was still endless arguments in the court, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and Qiu Wang tortured Huangfu Jingyao for another day in the prison, but nothing was found. Chu Xiangwan was so anxious that when Huangfu Jingwen came to see her, he once asked her: "Xiangwan, you must already know about King Rui, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a matter in the court, how can the concubines interject. It's just that King Rui is the life-saving benefactor of the concubines, and the concubines don't know whether to say or not. ”

"I forgive you for your innocence."

"The concubines don't know what is right and wrong, and they only ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter, so as not to wronged anyone." Although Huangfu Jingyao warned her to protect her self, but Huangfu Jingwen took the initiative to mention and test again, if she was wise to protect herself, it was different from her usual temperament, which was more likely to arouse Huangfu Jingwen's suspicion. It's better to plead generously, but it seems that you are selfless in your heart.

Early in the morning of the third day, the Queen Mother called Huangfu Jingwen to Cihe Palace.

"Queen Mother, why did you call your sons so early?"

"Huangfu Jingyao's case can't be delayed any longer, so as not to have too many dreams at night." The cruelty in the eyes of the Queen Mother is not like what a kind woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time should have.

"Erchen understands that it's just that some people in the court are still interceding for him, and there is still some resistance to this matter."

"Hmph, isn't Chu Huaifeng the first to bear the brunt? You don't have to worry about this, those people in the court are the grass on both sides of the wind, as long as the mourning family asks people to put some pressure on them, they will shut up. Huangfu Jingyao, this time the mourning family wants him to die without a place to be buried. The Queen Mother had a hideous smile on her face.

"Queen Mother, he is my brother after all, isn't it enough to take advantage of this incident to cut off his military power, remove him from his position, and exile him for thousands of miles?" Brothers cannibalize each other, the royal family is not uncommon, but Huangfu Jingwen doesn't want his hands to be stained with brother's blood.

"Woman's kindness! There is only one son like you in the mourning family, where are you a brother? Huangfu Jingyao is just Xiao Yunyi's slutty life, and he still wants to compete with you for the throne, it's really damned. "The Queen Mother thinks that this son is too cowardly, and she really hates iron and steel.

"But my father made his son the crown prince early on, and passed the throne to his son before he died, and his son is already the biggest winner, so why kill his brothers and be infamous."

"The First Emperor? Your throne was won by the mourning family for you, if the mourning family did not start early, do you think you are still sitting on the court today? ”

"The queen mother? What are you talking about? Take action? What did you do to your father? Huangfu Jingwen felt that the death of his father was not so simple.

"Presumptuous, you mean, your father was killed by the mourning family?" The Queen Mother found that she was angry and said too much, and realized that she had lost her words, so in order to cover it up, she immediately reprimanded Huangfu Jingwen fiercely.

"Besides, what's going on with Chu Xiangwan and Huangfu Jingyao?" The Queen Mother suddenly turned to the topic.

"Did Concubine Yun say something in front of the queen mother? Don't be too careful, the queen mother will not do anything. Huangfu Jingwen also became nervous.

"Is there really nothing? Then why did you ask Bian Yi to investigate? ”

"Bastard, I told him-"

"This secret organization was established by the mourning family, even if Bian Yi doesn't say it, won't others tell the mourning family? This Chu Xiangwan is really bold, and he dares to have an affair with Huangfu Jingyao. ”

"Queen Mother, it's not like this, it's not about the future."

"If it's none of her business, why would she help Huangfu Jingyao block the knife? It's really damn it, this kind of royal scandal happened under the nose of the mourning family, in order to save your face, this matter can't be made public, as soon as the matter of Huangfu Jingyao is over, he will immediately find a reason to solve this Chu Xiangwan. ”

"Queen Mother, this matter still needs to be carefully investigated, Xiang Wan is kind by nature, saving people is just a matter of urgency, okay, we will talk about this matter later, I am going to go to court." Hearing that the queen mother was going to kill Chu Xiangwan, Huangfu Jingwen immediately defended Chu Xiangwan, and now he can only drag the queen mother first.

"Okay, the emperor will go to the court first, the mourning family is also tired." The queen mother didn't want to argue anymore, and besides, her poisoning of the former emperor had already made her son suspicious, so it was better for them to take a step back at this time.

However, what Huangfu Jingwen and the Queen Mother didn't expect was that just when they thought that Huangfu Jingyao was defeated, a group of people actually stood up to intercede for Huangfu Jingyao.
