Chapter 171: Respective Identities
Jing Feng's words are true.
But right now, Qiancheng only feels anxious, full of worry and fear.
He was worried, afraid, afraid that he would never see Qin Changhuan again.
After a long absence, he finally found her again, recognized her, and kept her by his side, if something happened to her, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.
Or rather, he felt that his life had lost any meaning in an instant.
"If you stop me again, don't blame me for not talking about the friendship of master and servant!"
His words were vicious, but there was reluctance and depression in his eyes.
Jing Feng has followed him for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen him so crazy.
With a ruthless heart, he knelt directly on the ground, hugged his legs tightly, and closed his eyes tightly and did not let go no matter what.
"Master, even if you kill me today, you won't be able to beat me up, otherwise I will never let you enter the palace rashly, how many pairs of eyes are staring outside, you understand better than me."
As it has been, he is not only for the sake of the completion of the plan, but also for the life of a thousand cities.
He was just an entourage, and he only knew how to be loyal to his master.
After following Qiancheng Jue for so many years, it is impossible for him to watch this wrong move and then lose all the games.
It's just that if you continue to entangle like this, you will definitely wake up others.
As a last resort, Qiancheng couldn't bear the reluctance in his heart and no longer struggled, "Tomorrow, we will enter the palace." ”
His eyes were red, his eyes were bloodshot, his voice was dry and hoarse, his fists had been clenched for a long time, and his palms were already imprints.
He didn't dare to think about it, but he was afraid that endless bitter water would come up, and he wanted to swallow him whole.
No matter how unwilling or afraid, you can only sit quietly and wait for the dawn.
Jing Feng saw that Qiancheng had already sat down on the mahogany chair safely, and he should have wanted to open it, but when he saw that his eyes were full of worry and worry, he only felt empathy.
Even if he didn't have much affection for Qin Changhuan, as long as Qiancheng was worried, he couldn't face it calmly.
"Master, have a cup of tea, and I will call you as soon as the hour comes."
He knew that Qiancheng would never be able to sleep again tonight.
After two hours, the west was gradually dyed orange and yellow.
The eastern ember capital city was covered with a soft golden light, and it was a rare day with fine weather.
The wind is gentle and smooth, and the blue sky is like washing.
Jing Feng also never rested, and when he saw that he was about to enter the morning, he instructed the shopkeeper to hurriedly serve some porridge and side dishes, and went to the room of Qianchengjue.
When I got to the door, I found that the door was open, and when I went in, I saw that the thousand cities were gone.
The porch windows were open, and the neighing of horses reached the ears, and the hooves of the horses clattered on the bluestone paved road.
Jing Feng's face changed slightly, put his breakfast aside, and quickly ran to the porch window to look down.
Sure enough, Qiancheng Jue had already led a horse, turned over and prepared to leave.
"Master, wait for me."
He went alone, and last night's wait was in vain.
Jing Feng galloped to the courtyard, led a horse and hurriedly left the inn, fortunately out of the courtyard and saw the figure of Qianchengjue, and he was able to catch up.
At this time, in the dormitory of the side hall of the Lingcui Palace, Qin Changhuan had slowly woken up.
It's just that the eyelids are a little heavy, it is difficult to open the eyes, the head is dizzy, and the whole body is weak and unable to move.
Sensing a hint of warmth in her palm, she turned her head slightly and saw Tang Ruoxu, who was already asleep on the edge of the bed.
My mind was churning for a long time, and I only remembered that I was fighting the fire in the Fuhua Palace, and as for how I got here, I suddenly felt a little chaotic.
Did he keep watch over himself all night?
As a crown prince, he is so interested in a foreign woman, I don't know how many words will be aroused when it spreads.
As if sensing her awakening, Tang Ruoxu opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw that she was looking at him, he immediately smiled happily and his eyes were shining.
"You're awake."
He was a little excited, and looked left and right for a while before he said outside.
"Quickly bring the medicine in, get some more food, call the doctor, call the doctor!"
As he spoke, he got up.
Qin Changhuan took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hand, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for you." ”
There are thousands of layers of cold barriers in these words, as if they want to push him away thousands of miles away.
Tang Ruoxu's whole person was stunned for a moment, and his suspicious gaze swept over Qin Changhuan's slightly tired face before he calmed down.
The maid pushed the door and came in, bringing boiled medicine and a light meal.
It's dawn.
The prince didn't return overnight, and it was a big deal in the palace, and it was time for Tang Ruoxu to report to the emperor.
As soon as he walked out of the side hall, Lin Zhi rushed to him and handed him the things in his hand.
"Your Highness, this was found under the window of the side hall where the maid lived, and there are no other clues yet."
Tang Ruoxu looked at the bamboo pipe in his hand, there were traces of fire on one side, and it was not a bamboo flute style.
The Fuhua Palace has never been planted with bamboo.
"I heard from the guards who rescued the people that all the maids in the house fell asleep at that time, and they were probably drugged."
Lin Zhi added.
In other words, it is very likely that the drug was blown into the house through this bamboo pipe.
It's a pity that most of the Fuhua Palace has been burned down, and after a few hours, it is even more difficult to find anything.
Pick this time to start, I don't know who it will be.
Tang Ruoxu thought about it, and those cross assassins came to his mind, they had been out of the palace two times before, and they could meet those people every time, and they wanted to kill people.
Fortunately, Cuizhu said that Qin Changhuan talked to her until midnight and escaped the catastrophe.
If it weren't for this, they would have been smoked a long time ago, and even more exposed, even if the guards patrolled on time, I am afraid that it would be difficult to save them.
"Report!" The guards at the gate of the Lingcui Palace hurriedly stepped forward.
"The palace gate guards came to report that the Northern Yan envoy Qiancheng had entered the palace, and he was already coming to this side at this moment."
Tang Ruoxu's eyes lit up, and some emotion flashed in his eyes, faintly revealing a hint of gloom.
didn't expect it to be so soon, but did he forget his identity as an envoy of Beiyan.
At this point, he figured it out.
Before a moment, the sound of horses' hooves gradually slowed down at the gate of the Lingcui Palace, and in the next moment, Qiancheng Jue and Jing Feng appeared at the gate of the palace.
One in front and one behind, one white and one black.
Seeing Tang Ruoxu, Qiancheng Jue stepped forward and said, "Your Highness has been here all night?" Although his head was down, his back was straight, and you could see how much he resisted this etiquette.
Instead of greeting first, he questioned.
Tang Ruoxu snorted coldly, there seemed to be a hint of pride and show off in his eyes, "Yes, it's indeed all night." ”
Although it started when it was ugly, it was also a stimulus for Qiancheng Jue.
He did it on purpose.
But Qianchengjue, who had already been carried away by worry, couldn't care about the truth or falsehood, let alone the thoughts in his words, and just bypassed him and wanted to break in.
"Stop!" Tang Ruoxu drank coldly, and his eyes shot at the back of his head like nails, "Lord Envoy is in such a hurry, it is inevitable that people will wonder, what is the relationship between you and Chang Huan?" ”
Not only him, but everyone doubted.
"Besides, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to break into the woman's boudoir so directly."
The dignified regent of Beiyan broke into the women's dormitory, if this reputation spreads......
"Your Highness knows that the woman's reputation is important, why do you still keep watch over her all night?" Qianchengjue turned around slowly, his eyes were full of indifference, and his tone was close to calm, "Since they are all from Beiyan, the etiquette should also be thoughtful." ”
No one could see the anxiety hidden in his eyes.
Tang Ruoxu didn't look at him, only pursed his lips and said, "She is my honored guest of Dongshen." ”
"Isn't it the job of a host to take care of guests?"
After only a few days of not seeing him, Tang Ruoxu had already begun to use strong words.
Qiancheng looked around, with a faint smile on his lips, and his peach blossom eyes were bent, but there was no tenderness at all, only uncomfortable.
"There's no one in the palace, isn't it? Only then did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bow down to him. ”
He took two steps closer, a hint of persecution.
"Say that I don't care about Miss Qin's reputation, Your Highness, don't forget that you are the crown prince." He said hatefully, "Make your affection for Miss Qin known all over the palace, make her controversial, push her to the forefront, and force her to have no way back, just ask!" This is your affection for Miss Qin? ”
Tang Ruoxu's eyes widened, his teeth were tightly locked, and although he had an angry expression, he could see that he was trying his best to suppress it.
Qiancheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he leaned into his ear and lowered his voice.
"Your Highness, don't forget, I once had a marriage contract with Miss Nine of Chongyue Mansion."
After speaking, he shook his sleeves fiercely and walked towards the side hall where Qin Changhuan was.
Tang Ruoxu stared at him, and his eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire.
Jing Feng reminded him that he should go to see the emperor, and then he turned around coldly and left angrily.
The emotions were suppressed to this point, and Qiancheng had no choice but to continue.
So he walked to the door of the side hall, only looked at the two maids who were guarding and said, "Miss Qin, is she awake?" Can I meet people? ”
He couldn't rush in directly, and last night's patience would be in vain.
The maid didn't seem to expect him to talk to herself, such a good-looking face, thin lips and a closed one, even if he was tired, it was so moving.
She only felt that her face was red, and she owed a debt.
"Wait a minute, Lord Minister, Miss Qin has woken up, I'll go in and take a look."
The other maid couldn't stand the heat of her face anymore, and turned her head to the side, but from time to time she wanted to peek at the stunning person in front of her.
Suddenly, the door opened again.
"Your Excellency, Miss Qin has already gotten up, please go in."
Qiancheng bowed slightly, followed the guidance of the maid, and entered the main hall of the side hall.
Qin Changhuan had already served tea and was waiting for the arrival of a thousand cities.
"Miss Qin, are you better?"
Qiancheng Jue's throat was rolling, his eyes were warm, and he spat out the most ordinary words in his mouth, but his heart was anxious as if he was frying on oil.
Others were on the side, and Qin Changhuan had no choice but to hide all the expectations and emotions in his heart.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm better, that day, I was too impatient, but I blamed my lord, but today my lord didn't care to come to visit, but Changhuan was lucky."
She lowered her head slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, and her lips were also imperceptibly shy.
At that dinner, the spilling of wine was also caused by emotions.
After all, Ye Dang was on the side, she was afraid of affecting him, but she didn't expect Ye Dang to be driven away later.
