Chapter 299: Assassination
Mu Xiwan looked at the man in front of him, and he couldn't speak. 'Can't you just not go?' Mu Xiwan asked in a low voice. There were also candles lit in the room, stretching the shadows of the two people close together, swaying as the candles flickered.
Feng Chengyi chuckled lightly when he heard this, raised his hand and touched the top of Mu Xiwan's soft hair, and explained to her gently: "I have been on death row for so long, and I don't have time to see my two children. They will miss me if they don't see me, and they may ask the waiting grandmother why I didn't go to see them. ’
As he spoke, Feng Chengyi took Mu Xiwan's hand, held it tightly in his palm, and said, "You have been running around for my affairs all these days, don't you want those two children?" They are still young, and it is when there is a lack of parental care, so we as parents should take good care of them. ’
How could Mu Xiwan not want to go to see the two children, but what she was more worried about now was Feng Chengyi's body. A few days ago, it was fine, but since Feng Chengyi beat Qi Chengan in a fit of rage, he was tortured by the jailers on death row. As soon as I came back, I thought about going to see the two children, and Mu Xiwan was really relieved.
Listening to Mu Xiwan's explanation that he was worried about every word, Feng Chengyi laughed softly, and the somewhat rough hand touched Mu Xiwan's soft cheek this time, and gently touched it with the back of his hand from time to time.
Mu Xiwan heard Feng Chengyi's chuckle, and the uneasiness that was originally tumbling in his heart gradually subsided. Now Feng Chengyi is basically cleared of responsibility, since the emperor is willing to order Feng Chengyi to come out, it is also a superficial attitude of Feng Chengyi's innocence.
Since Feng Chengyi wants to go, then there is no need for her to worry.
So Mu Xiwan nodded slowly and said, "Okay, but I have to go with you." ”
Feng Chengyi had no objection to this request, so the two of them didn't say anything more, and asked the people in the house to prepare the carriage, and the two of them set off together to take a look at your two children.
It was already night, and the streets were no longer bustling during the day, and every house lit candles to illuminate the entire imperial city. At this time, the teahouses and restaurants were closed for rest, and there were no stores open except for a few special brothels in the imperial city. The streets were deserted, and only the sound of horse-drawn carriages could be heard.
Mu Xiwan sat in the carriage with Feng Chengyi, and when she walked halfway, Mu Xiwan felt a little sleepy, she yawned, and then Feng Chengyi, who was next to her, stretched out his hand and put her head on his shoulder, and said to her: "Sleep, I'll call you later." ”
The man beside her made Mu Xiwan feel at ease, she nodded lightly, then closed her eyes and fell on Feng Chengyi to take a nap.
The carriage was driving on the deserted street, and Feng Chengyi was watching Mu Xi lose his mind, but the entire carriage shook violently. Feng Chengyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment, the entire carriage of the carriage was overturned by the violent force of the face.
On the wide, silent street, there were several people in black assassin costumes, all of them masked, so that Feng Chengyi couldn't even spy on their appearances. Feng Chengyi looked at them with a cold face and asked, "What do you want to do?" In fact, this is completely knowingly asked, and the dress of these people shows that they are here to assassinate. And several assassins really didn't answer Feng Chengyi's words. Without waiting for Feng Chengyi to react, several assassins rushed towards Feng Chengyi and Mu Xiwan with the long swords in their hands in unison.
The movement was so loud that Mu Xiwan woke up early in the morning when the carriage lid was overturned. Her eyes widened, and then she was pushed by Feng Chengyi's backhand and pushed to the group of guards behind her who were protecting them. "Protect the crown princess." Feng Chengyi didn't say a word back, and then when everyone didn't react, he picked up a long sword with fine workmanship beside him. As the sword unsheathed, it emitted a blinding white light, and a note fell from the blade. Feng Chengyi quickly took it.
When the assassin rushed up, he didn't hesitate to hold on to the sword in his hand and rushed forward. These assassins were ruthless, and Feng Chengyi inevitably suffered some injuries, but he also brought guards, and these guards were all masters in the palace, so he did not let the assassins succeed. In the end, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the assassins collected their killing intent and turned around and fled.
"Are you alright?" As soon as the assassin left, Mu Xiwan rushed up, she reached out and grabbed Feng Chengyi's shoulder, and asked eagerly.
Feng Chengyi shook his head, and then unfolded his palm, revealing the note that had just fallen from the long sword.
As soon as the snow-white note was unfolded, it revealed the black handwriting on it, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is tired of conveying it, and ask Mu Xiwan to be careful." Feng Chengyi looked at the contents of the note and his face sank, and a wave of anger suddenly appeared on his body. Mu Xiwan stood next to him, and he was stunned when he saw the content of this note. However, the note was not signed, and they didn't know who had left it.
Feng Chengyi turned his head to look at Mu Xiwan next to him and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Mu Xiwan didn't rush to answer, now that everything was unclear, she swept the guards behind her who were in a protective posture, and ordered: "You go over to protect the children first." ”
After saying that, the guards left Feng Chengyi and Mu Xiwan without saying a word.
And Feng Chengyi was still wondering in his heart, Mu Xiwan has always been cautious, who left this note. Although the words are about asking Mu Xiwan to be careful, but being able to hide the note in the sword without knowing it, this person's ability must be not small.
Mu Xiwan looked at Feng Chengyi and paused, the night was very dark, she could only vaguely see Feng Chengyi's cold and hard face lines, she heard the unhappiness of his parting, and opened her mouth to explain; "The person who wanted to leave the note was probably trying to warn me."
Mu Xiwan paused as she spoke, "Recently, in order to help you collect evidence and save you, I was so anxious that I didn't even have a good attitude towards people, and what I did was not a good thing, it should be because of this that I offended a lot of people." ”
As soon as Mu Xiwan's words were finished, the surroundings fell silent. Feng Chengyi looked at her and didn't speak, and after a long while, he suddenly raised his hand and hugged Mu Xiwan into his arms. He hugged Mu Xiwan tightly, so hard that he almost rubbed him into his body, Mu Xiwan heard Feng Chengyi say: "Xiwan, I will live up to you in this life." ”
