Chapter 45 and the Confession
"I didn't expect that Lord Zhang is still a good dog" Xuanyuan Yunmo's mouth was slightly hooked, and his mocking smile was extremely conspicuous
Hearing this, Zhang Shuxian's hands were constantly clenched
"You still have two hours to think about it" lightly dropped a sentence, and led the villain next to him out
Feeling the breath on his body, Zuo Yanmo under the mask pursed his lips and held his hand tightly
As if feeling her encouragement, Xuanyuan Yunmo's heart moved slightly
There was a "click", and the door to the cell was closed again. Only Zhang Shuxian, who hung his head down, was left
Walking out of the prison, he only felt a dazzling light, and Zuo Yanmo couldn't help but close his eyes
"Good work" Xuanyuan Yunmo chuckled, raising her hand to take off the mask she was wearing
A smiling face appeared in front of him, and his face immediately turned slightly red
As if he didn't notice the difference in him, Zuo Yanmo said softly, "It's nothing, this is what I should do"
"It's just that he doesn't say it now, so what" Thinking of what happened just now, Zuo Yanmo's brows were slightly urged
Hearing her concern, Xuanyuan Yunmo raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her hair and said, "Don't worry, everything is in plan"
Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo nodded
Looking at her face, Xuanyuan Yunmo's hand moved slightly
Zuo Yanmo only felt that something was attached to it, and looked at him puzzled
"I really want to dismantle you and eat you" Xuanyuan Yunmo lightly pressed against her forehead, feeling the cold touch, but it was in stark contrast to the heat in her eyes
Zuo Yanmo obviously didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him puzzled
Looking at her eyes, Xuanyuan Yunmo only felt a tightness somewhere, and the Adam's apple moved slightly, covering her eyes
"What's wrong?" Looking at the darkness, Zuo Yanmo said softly
After a while, Xuanyuan Yunmo put down his hand, took her and walked forward
Although Zuo Yanmo didn't know the reason, he noticed that his mood was obviously better, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes
"Your Highness, who is this?" In the lobby of Dali Temple, Shi Xiancheng looked at the person beside Xuanyuan Yunmo suspiciously
Without waiting for Xuanyuan Yunmo to speak, Zuo Yanmo had already saluted and said, "Little girl Zuo Yanmo"
Hearing this, Shi Xiancheng's eyes had a hint of clarity
"This is Xiao Yu's father, the benefactor," Xuanyuan Yunmo whispered in her ear
Zuo Yanmo nodded understandingly
"Miss Zuo doesn't have to be restrained" Seeing Xuanyuan Yunmo's different attitude towards her, Shi Xiancheng chuckled
Zuo Yanmo pursed his lips and chuckled
"Your Highness, the emperor has already begun to examine the corrupt criminals" Shi Xiancheng pursed his lips
A hint of chill flashed in Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes, and he said lightly, "Don't worry"
Knowing that he had a plan, Shi Xiancheng didn't say anything
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Zuo Yanmo couldn't interject anything, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, every movement revealed a noble temperament
Looking at her appearance, a trace of shock flashed in Shi Xiancheng's eyes, and then he realized it again. Sure enough, this woman is not an ordinary person
Afraid that Zuo Yanmo would be bored, Xuanyuan Yunmo got up and walked her out
"Don't worry, Your Highness, there is a result, the old minister will let someone inform you" Looking at the backs of the two, Shi Xiancheng chuckled
There was a hint of shyness on Zuo Yanmo's face.
Watching the two of them walk out of the lobby, Shi Xiancheng sighed lightly, he could clearly feel just now that the temperament of the Sixth Highness was not as cold as before, and now it can be regarded as having a hint of human taste. After all, this kid has suffered too much from snacks
The two had secretly left the courtyard of Dali Temple, strolling through the street, feeling the liveliness of the street, and Zuo Yanmo's mood was also much more relaxed
"Tonight, you stay in the room well, the phantom will stay by your side," Xuanyuan Yunmo said in a low voice
"What?" The surrounding voices were too noisy, and Zuo Yanmo didn't hear what he was talking about
A smile flashed in Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes, and he leaned over and whispered in her ear
Gradually, a trace of astonishment crossed Zuo Yanmo's eyes, and then his face suddenly turned red, and he said, "Hooligans!" β
Looking at her shy appearance, a smile flashed in Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes, but the afterglow fell behind her, and it flashed sharply
In the deep alley, where no one was looking, one man looked around and flew away until he stopped not far from the palace. A Qiaoling palace maid appeared in front of the gate of the imperial city and walked to the door in a proper manner. Looking at the token in her hand, the guard waved his hand
Walking into the palace, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and Leng Xi walked quickly towards the Ningqiu Palace
Nanya had been waiting for a long time, and kept walking back and forth
looked at Leng Xi who came in, and hurriedly asked, "How is the matter going?" β
"Back to His Highness, His Royal Highness Sixth took Zuo Yanmo to Nancheng Street, they frolicked along the way, and there was nothing suspicious" Leng Xi reported one by one
Hearing this, Nanya breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought of the news that Fuju brought back, she was still uneasy in her heart, and frowned, "Have you ever found Zhang Shuxian?" β
"The subordinates are incompetent, and they have not been found" Leng Xi lowered his head and pursed his lips
"Could it be that you left the city that night?" In this way, Nanya couldn't think of where he had gone
At the same time, Zhang Shuxian, who was in the prison, shouted to the guards on the side, and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to see His Royal Highness Six"
The guard sneered, but turned and ran quickly forward
"Go quickly, let people go to His Highness" Shi Xiancheng, who didn't expect Zhang Shuxian to recruit so quickly, hurriedly said
"No need" Listening to the familiar voice, a trace of astonishment flashed in Shi Xiancheng's eyes, looked at the person who came, and said, "Your Highness......"
Zuo Yanmo on the side was holding a sugar gourd, with a smile in his eyes
"Let's go" The thin lips moved slightly, but Xuanyuan Yunmo took Zuo Yanmo's hand and walked to the side
"Your Highness" Shi Xiancheng stopped him
Xuanyuan Yunmo's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back
Shi Xiancheng pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, isn't it inappropriate to have outsiders present during the interrogation?"
Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo looked up at him, looked at his side face, pursed his lips, and was about to pull his hand out, but he felt that he was clenching tighter, and Zuo Yanmo was stunned
"Ambassador, Your Highness respects you, I don't want this to happen again!" There was already a hint of coldness in his words
didn't expect him to care so much about that palace maid, Shi Xiancheng pursed his lips and arched his hand, "It's the minister's fault, the minister doesn't dare to overstep"
Xuanyuan Yunmo snorted lightly, and walked out of the lobby with Zuo Yanmo, who was still in a daze
Zuo Yanmo turned around, looking at Shi Xiancheng still maintaining the state he was in just now, and something hit him in his heart. Pursed her lips
Sensing her mood fluctuations, Xuanyuan Yunmo didn't know how to speak, so he could only sigh in his heart, but his hands were clenched
Zuo Yanmo was stunned, his head hung slightly, and he was not even interested in his favorite sugar gourd in his hand
Without waiting for Zuo Yanmo to come back to his senses, he came to a room, looking at something that was obviously different from before, Zuo Yanmo's gaze fell on the person in front of him
I saw Zhang Shuxian on the chair in front of him, and his hands and feet were restricted
Xuanyuan Yunmo pulled her and sat opposite Zhang Shuxian
This was the first time Zuo Yanmo had seen such a scene, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, and even the trace of unhappiness brought by Shi Xiancheng just now was hidden
Zhang Shuxian's gaze fell on the person in front of him, his eyes were full of admiration, how good it would be if they also had such a prince there, but it's a pity......
"His Royal Highness is leisurely, and he accompanied his beloved to the street" His eyes turned slightly, and fell on Zuo Yanmo's body, looking at the sugar gourd that was only half left
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "His Royal Highness loves to hear this sentence."
Listening to his words, Zhang Shuxian froze in place, looking back and forth at the two of them, as if he understood something, sighed lightly, and sneered, "Sure enough, it's a hero since ancient times who is sad about the beauty pass."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness is not a hero," Xuanyuan Yunmo interrupted his self-talk
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Shuxian's mouth
"His Royal Highness doesn't have the strength to accompany you" For such a long time, Xuanyuan Yunmo was also a little impatient, and said coldly
Zuo Yanmo's face on the side also turned cold, and his eyes fell on Zhang Shuxian
Feeling the coldness coming from the two of them, Zhang Shuxian only felt frightened, and paused and said, "I can tell me what I know, and ask His Highness to promise me one thing."
"Zhang Shuxian, you seem to have reversed the relationship now" Xuanyuan Yunmo changed his posture, but his hand was still interlocked with Zuo Yanmo's hand
Looking at his casual attitude, Zhang Shuxian pursed his lips and said, "My true identity is the minister of Xisheng Kingdom."
Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo had a touch of shock in his eyes, and looked at the person beside him, only to see that his face was pale and he didn't know what he was thinking
I only listened to Zhang Shuxian's words one by one, "Presumably His Royal Highness also knows that although Xisheng Country has a vast grassland, it is not worth mentioning compared to Fengming Country, which is rich in products."
"Nanya, who is Nanya" Xuanyuan Yunmo said
Zhang Shuxian was stunned for a moment, trembling his lips and said, "We, our Royal Highness the Princess of Xisheng Kingdom" But seeing that Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes did not fluctuate at all, he immediately blurted out, "You...... You know it all from the beginning! β
"It's just a suspicion, your words confirm my thoughts even more" Without hiding his thoughts, Xuanyuan Yunmo said lightly
The cold words came into Zhang Shuxian's ears, but there was a huge turbulent wave, and there was a fear in his eyes that he had never even noticed
"When did it start...... Zhang Shuxian muttered, and the whole person was also hit hard
Xuanyuan Yunmo didn't answer his question, and knocked on the table in front of him impatiently, making a "buckle" sound
Zhang Shuxian was shocked and came back to his senses
"Did my father ever know?" Xuanyuan Yunmo asked again
Zhang Shuxian felt a burst of shock, although these questions seemed to be thrown immediately, but only Zhang Shuxian understood the deep meaning between them
"Say!" Xuanyuan Yunmo said coldly
Zhang Shuxian pursed his lips tightly, "Know, know"
"Heh" Xuanyuan Yunmo snorted coldly, and the momentum around him changed in an instant
Feeling such a strong coercion, Zhang Shuxian only felt frightened for a while, his eyes rolled slightly, as if he understood something, and said loudly, "So, you didn't submit the evidence of my corruption to the court at all!" Otherwise, the emperor won't allow you to detain me here! β
Hearing this, a hint of ridicule appeared in Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes, "Master Zhang, you may be overestimating yourself." What you are doing behind your back, I guess my father doesn't know."
Zhang Shuxian's eyes darkened, and his lips tightened
"It's better not to play any tricks! Don't you really think that His Highness has no evidence? Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes had a sneer
said before that Zhang Shuxian still had doubts, but now, the last trace of doubt in his heart has disappeared. Looking at the person in front of him, his eyes were only full of horror
"I only know some of these things" Zhang Shuxian pursed his lips, looked at the person opposite, and said, "Things have to start from more than 20 years ago......
Zuo Yanmo only felt that he could hear it in a fog, but he didn't expect that today's saint, who seems to be so in love with the queen mother, still has such a romantic affair
His eyes fell on Xuanyuan Yunmo's body, and he saw that he pursed his lips, but his face was ugly
Zhang Shuxian stopped, and silence returned to the surroundings
"That's all I know, as for why Her Royal Highness is here? And why did she become the emperor's concubine, these are all I don't know," Zhang Shuxian, who was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, hurriedly said
Xuanyuan Yunmo didn't speak, his eyes fell elsewhere, not knowing what he was thinking
Seeing that he didn't move, Zhang Shuxian was in a hurry, and just as he was about to speak, he heard him say, "All the money you embezzled was for Nanya to train her own subordinates."
"You ......" Zhang Shuxian didn't know what to say, but said in a trembling voice
"It seems that you don't know about the assassination that happened in the palace more than ten years ago" Xuanyuan Yunmo had already stood up
Hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed in Zhang Shuxian's eyes
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo exhaled lightly, but his mood was even worse. Holding Zuo Yanmo and walking outside, as if he remembered something, he paused in place, and said softly, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, those people in black are all from His Royal Highness" After saying that, he left here regardless of Zhang Shuxian's reaction
The fluttering words floated into Zhang Shuxian's ears, and suddenly, he only felt a confused sound in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything. muttered "I...... I betrayed Her Royal Highness, I betrayed Her Royal Highness! Hearing the sound of "poof", blood suddenly spurted out, and Zhang Shuxian also fell back on the chair
The guards who had just arrived hurriedly walked in after seeing the miserable situation in the room. Raising his hand to test his snort, he shook his head secretly. Although I have seen many people die, it is really rare to open my eyes so wide before I die
Walking out of the dungeon, Xuanyuan Yunmo picked up Zuo Yanmo and left here with light skills
Feeling the fierceness of the wind, Zuo Yanmo couldn't help but shrink into his arms
Xuanyuan Yunmo paused, but his speed slowed down
Sensing the aura around him, Zuo Yanmo reached out and hugged him, listening to the constant beating of the heart in his chest, Xuanyuan Yunmo tightened his arms around her
At about the moment of a stick of incense, Xuanyuan Yunmo slowly stopped
Feeling the steadiness of the ground, Zuo Yanmo walked out of Xuanyuan Yunmo's arms
"When I have something on my mind, I often come here" Xuanyuan Yunmo took her hand and pushed open the door in front of her
Zuo Yanmo's eyes fell on the surroundings at this time, and he saw that the green bamboo around him, under the passing of the breeze, made a sound, and his footsteps did not stop, and he followed Xuanyuan Yunmo into the courtyard
"...... here," a glimmer of light flashed in Zuo Yanmo's eyes
Looking at her appearance, Xuanyuan Yunmo chuckled, took off his outer clothes and put them aside
"It's so beautiful" Zuo Yanmo only felt as if he was in the fairy world, and there was a winding stream in front of the house in front of him, flowing down the river towards the back of the house
Following the stream, he came to the back of the house, and saw an open area in front of him, and a large pond appeared in front of him
"This is all living water" I don't know when, Xuanyuan Yunmo also came here and said in a low voice
Zuo Yanmo subconsciously turned around and looked at the clothes on his body, but he was stunned. I saw that he was wearing a burlap robe, and three thousand green silks were scattered behind him. Subconsciously said, "YouβWhat are you going to do here?" β
"There's a hot spring behind this forest, do you want to go with you?" Xuanyuan Yunmo's gaze fell on the back of the bamboo forest
Here it is again, that indescribable feeling, Zuo Yanmo frowned slightly, and only felt that Xuanyuan Yunmo in front of him seemed to be closing his wounds alone. He pursed his lips and said, "I'll go!" β
Xuanyuan Yunmo, who originally thought she would refuse, also had a touch of surprise in her eyes
Seeing that he was only staring at himself, Zuo Yanmo's face was slightly red, and he said viciously, "What?" No! β
"Okay, you can say anything," Xuanyuan Yunmo gently rubbed the top of her hair. It's like soothing a fried cat
Zuo Yanmo subconsciously sniffed his clothes, although there was no smell, but after taking a bath and putting them on, Zuo Yanmo always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and coughed lightly and said, "That, are there any extra clothes?" β
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes, and he said softly, "I'll get it for you," and then turned around and walked back
Looking at his back, the corners of Zuo Yanmo's mouth raised slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes were dark. The impact of what happened just now must have been too great on him, Zuo Yanmo could see that although Xuanyuan Yunmo was cold to the emperor, he must have cared in his heart, not only that, but did the queen also know about it?
There was also the assassination more than ten years ago, thinking of this, Zuo Yanmo pursed his lips, could it be that Concubine De named Nanya?
Without waiting for Zuo Yanmo to think about something, he heard a sound behind him, and immediately restrained his thoughts and turned to look
I saw Xuanyuan Yunmo walking over with two sets of clothes, and his handsome face was indifferent, but after seeing himself, Zuo Yanmo obviously saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised
Zuo Yanmo stayed where he was again
"Tao Tao?" Looking at her appearance, Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes were dyed with a smile
"Huh?" Zuo Yanmo came back to his senses and realized that he was in a daze at his face again, and his face suddenly turned red
Looking at her shy appearance, Xuanyuan Yunmo lightly touched her forehead and asked again, "Tao Tao, ...... Do you really want to go to the bath with me? β
Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo's face suddenly turned red, but the suppressed pain in his eyes appeared in his mind, pursed his lips, and nodded heavily
Seeing her determination as if she was on the execution ground, how could Xuanyuan Yunmo not understand her thoughts, raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her hair, and said dotingly, "Okay"
Zuo Yanmo was stunned for a moment, then felt that his hands were interlocked with his ten fingers, and walked towards the front.
As he gradually moved away, the number of bamboos gradually increased, and Zuo Yanmo couldn't help but get a little closer to him.
"Scared?" Sensing her emotions, Xuanyuan Yunmo raised his eyebrows and said.
Zuo Yanmo didn't have the heart to joke with him, and nodded honestly, "I'm afraid I won't find my way back."
"Don't worry, I'm here," Xuanyuan Yunmo said softly.
Inexplicably, Zuo Yanmo only felt a burst of firmness in his heart.
