Chapter 1172: Secret
Qingxiu, as Feng Changqi's confidant, how could she not understand the self-blame in her words? She half-lowered her eyes and whispered: "Your Highness, what's the use of talking about this now, all of us have no turning back, we can only go all the way to the dark." ”
From the moment of enlightenment, they were disqualified from regret. As time went on, the army grew stronger, and offense and defense were no longer a matter for them to decide.
Not to mention other places, just in the northwest, there are many people who defect to Her Royal Highness the Emperor, Feng Changqi regrets it, it is easy to run away alone, and it is even easier to spend the second half of his life incognito, but what about those soldiers? How do those who are loyal to her behave with themselves? Will the inkstone be kind to them?
There can only be one ending to this path.
Feng Changqi sighed secretly in his heart and muttered, "I understand, I understand. ”
Seeing this, Qingxiu only felt that there was a pair of invisible palms that pinched her heart tightly, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
"Your Highness is the most generous and benevolent person in time, and when you ascend to the throne in the main hall in the future, you will definitely become a Ming monarch, the kind of monarch who is more virtuous than the previous emperor! At that time, the day when Haiyan River will be clear, and His Highness really doesn't need to worry too much about the things in front of him. ”
Feng Changqi knew that she said these words to comfort herself, and nodded with a smile.
"This topic is too heavy, so let's change it. Qingxiu, when you led those maids to settle down, did you find anything unusual about them? ”
Qingxiu's heart suddenly lifted.
As the maid confidant by Feng Changqi's side, she should get rid of all hidden dangers for Feng Changqi, but last time she was carelessly exploited, and even almost caused an accident to the little son, Qingxiu would rather lose her life than let something like this happen again!
"Your Highness suspects that those maids have ulterior motives?"
"I just had a hunch and didn't make a decision." Thinking about Fang Cai's scene, Feng Changqi felt more and more that something was wrong, "Fang Cai's maid named A Ning is the most strange, she is different from others. Qingxiu, think about it, was she the first to ask us to keep people? Obviously she is not timid, but she insists on lying to show that she is cowardly and afraid. She is also the one who said that her family is poor, but I have carefully observed her hands, white as jade, very delicate, where is the appearance of doing rough work? The inconsistency of the preface and the afterword happened to her again and again, making it difficult for people not to doubt it. ”
Qingxiu didn't care much about this kind of detail, but after knowing Feng Changqi's summary, she realized the unreasonableness.
"Hearing Her Highness say this, she is indeed very suspicious........ Slave and maid, let's go, she will be arrested and interrogated! ”
Feng Changqi hurriedly grabbed Qingxiu's hand and pressed her back to her position: "Now go to interrogate, I'm afraid it will startle the snake, let's observe it for a while, she is also in the Taishou Mansion now, let's keep an eye on it, and it will be fine." ”
"That slave and maid look at her more, and as soon as there is a disturbance, she will report to His Highness immediately!"
Since then, Kiyosu has always kept an eye on Aning's movements, taking precautions whenever she notices something is wrong, while avoiding the recurrence of previous dangers.
But after such days lasted for a while, her heart that had always believed in Feng Changqi began to waver a little.
A-Ning doesn't seem to be any different, she and the other maids generally laugh, occasionally play, from time to time will tell some funny jokes to make others happy, if there is something in hand, she will finish it with a very serious attitude, it looks like an ordinary little maid,
Could it be that His Highness has thought of something wrong? That maid named Aning didn't have any problems at all?
Just when Qingxiu was confused, she suddenly saw a figure flash in the corner of her eye, she hurriedly hid to the side, and looked closely, only to see that the figure was slim and sneaky, and he was slowly walking on the road that no one usually passes, as if he was going somewhere! The most important point is that the person who sneakily prepared to sneak out of the small courtyard was none other than A-Ning himself, whom Feng Changqi had instructed Qingxiu to keep an eye on!
Qingxiu's heart moved slightly, and she secretly sneered in her heart, the fox's tail really leaked out!
I don't know how A-Ning came up with this route, and he walked all the way over, but he didn't even meet a single subordinate!
Maybe it's because she has walked more than once on weekdays and is very familiar, after she left the small courtyard, she threw away the scruples in her heart and walked straight towards the destination, but she didn't even notice Qingxiu who was sneaking behind her, and let Qingxiu follow her to the destination.
It was a hidden corner of the garden, with a lake nearby and dense trees, and it was too shady for people to come to the house.
But A-Ning did not dislike bad luck at all, and walked into it with a familiar car. Love more than the book city
With her arrival, a figure also appeared in the field of vision.
The man was tall and tall, wearing a black guard shirt, and he knew it was a man at a glance.
Qingxiu held on to the rockery, using the terrain to completely hide her figure, and her eyes fell on the two figures in the distance. No wonder this person dared to sneak into the Taishou Mansion, and later he was even more bold to sneak under the nose of His Royal Highness, it turned out that she had other internal responses in the mansion! This person looks quite familiar, and he must be one of the guards with a relatively high status in the house! Qingxiu secretly gritted her teeth, don't let her know the identity of that person, otherwise she must let him peel off a layer of skin to unravel the anger of that fire!
Qingxiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the two figures carefully, and suddenly, her whole person froze in place, like a thunderbolt, unable to move for a long time!
If A-Ning's sneakiness was what she expected, then the person who stayed with A-Ning was extremely unexpected, and when she saw that person, her heart was beating like a drum, and she couldn't stop. Just because that person is none other than Xiao Hei, the personal guard next to Yu Wuhope!
Qingxiu couldn't believe her eyes, impossible, how could it be Xiao Hei?
Xiao Hei has been following Yu Hopeless for longer than she has been following the first emperor, how could he unite with outsiders to harm His Highness and the National Teacher?
Qingxiu rubbed her eyes and looked at the place again, this time, she had to believe her eyes.
The person standing with A-Ning is Xiao Hei!
Because the distance was too far, Qingxiu couldn't hear what the two of them were saying at all, and could only guess that they were chatting happily from the smiles on Xiao Hei and A Ning's faces. In an instant, it seemed that all the seasoning bottles in her heart had been overturned, and Qingxiu had mixed tastes in her heart, and she didn't know what to say.
Why Blackie?
The two people didn't notice Qingxiu's existence at all, and they talked about their own topics, unaware that in the corner, one of them was sad.
I couldn't hear the content of their conversation here, and Qingxiu didn't know martial arts, so it was impossible to approach them quietly, so he simply turned around and walked back along the way he came.
In the small courtyard, Feng Changqi has been waiting for a long time.
As soon as she saw Qingxiu coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Qingxiu, I have a ....... Hey? Why is your face so ugly? Feng Changqi noticed the changes in Qingxiu's body for the first time, reached out and touched her forehead, and then touched his forehead, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed a little confusion: "It's strange, obviously I don't have a fever, why is my face so strange, it seems like I have lost my soul." She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Qingxiu's eyes for a moment, and asked carefully, "Qingxiu, can you hear my voice?" ”
Qingxiu finally came back to her senses suddenly, and a bitter smile hooked on the corner of her lips: "Your Highness, I can hear it." ”
can still speak, and there is no complaint, which means that there is nothing wrong with the person, but looking at the beautiful and pale face, Feng Changqi still couldn't help but pull the person into the room and ask carefully: "What happened?" "Although the two are commensurate with master and servant, their relationship does not have to be ordinary sisters, after all, when the first emperor was alive, he raised Qingxiu as half a daughter, and Feng Changqi also respected Qingxiu on weekdays. On weekdays, if she has any troubles, Qingxiu is the first to stand up and show her concern, and now that Qingxiu has something in her heart, she naturally has to ask.
Qingxiu tugged at her dry lips, still choosing to shake her head, as if she was unwilling to tell Feng Changqi what was in her heart.
Feng Changqi was anxious: "Qingxiu, what do you have to say, if you have something on your mind and can't solve it, it's better to say it, let's think of a way together." ”
When Qingxiu raised her head and looked at Shangfeng Changqi's eyes full of concern, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, didn't you ask the slave maid to pay more attention to Ah Ning's movements a few days ago, today the slave maid finally discovered that Ah Ning was unusual, but the slave didn't know how to say it." ”
"Tell me everything you see."
Qingxiu choked for a moment, lowered her voice, and slowly said everything she saw behind the rockery, and when she said Xiao Hei's name, Feng Changqi was also stunned.
She also couldn't believe this possible fact: "Behind the rockery, you saw Xiao Hei and A Ning standing together talking and laughing?" Qingxiu, if you think about it carefully, could it be that you are looking at the wrong person, there are so many guards in the mansion, and that person may just be similar in shape-"
Without waiting for Feng Changqi to finish guessing in his heart, Qingxiu had already shook his head and said with a firm face: "That person is Xiao Hei!" Although the slave maid is not as smart as His Royal Highness, her eyes are still not bad, that person is Xiao Hei himself, and it is absolutely impossible for me to mistake my sweetheart. ”
Feng Changqi's eyes lit up, and he naturally misheard the point: "Qingxiu, you finally admit your thoughts." ”
Qingxiu realized that what he had just said = something wrong, tightened his sleeves, and hooked the corners of his lips turned out to be more ugly than crying: "What's the use of admitting, his heart is no longer on my body." ”
