Chapter 75: The mountain road is hard to walk
Yu Fengcheng didn't think that he was hasty at this time, and persuaded him: "Princess, don't worry, the prince has always been meticulous in his work, and it makes sense to arrange it like this, maybe he has already gotten the news that someone wants to hang us in prison, so he rescued us in advance." You must know that we are in Beichu, and we are already in danger every step of the way. ”
Immediately afterwards, Yu Fengcheng informed Wei Xueying of the current situation.
It turned out that since Wei Xueying married into the palace, the emperor has been sick, has not been able to see the wind, some people say, the emperor is a demon barrier, the palace night and night let out a sensational wailing scream, since then, the government has been handed over to the crown prince Chu Yi, as well as the five princes Xian Wangye, the palace military power has all fallen into the hands of the prince.
In this way, this thing has a little weird color.
According to the rules of previous dynasties, if the emperor was unwell, he could abdicate and hand over the throne to the crown prince Chuyi, but the emperor did not do so.
Although Chu Yi controlled the government, he was always a prince.
Speaking of which, Wei Xueying is a little strange, why not directly force the palace to abdicate, or plot to kill the emperor, you know, the queen is the closest person to the emperor, if she wants to start, the emperor will definitely die.
It's strange that they didn't.
Wei Xueying is strange, the current situation is that those princes are already fighting openly and secretly, and everyone wants to take advantage of this great opportunity to take the throne, but Chu Ling has not taken any action at this time.
He doesn't take the initiative, all he does is defense.
Wei Xueying understands this matter, Chu Ling is not a person who is willing to spend too much manpower and material resources to achieve his goals, so he is waiting for the opportunity, and when those people have won the battle and decided the victory, he will take advantage of the situation.
Wei Xueying is very supportive of this approach.
At present, most of the princes are forming parties for personal gain, and they are bound to fight for a winner or loser.
Analyzing the situation, now, the crown prince Chu Yi and Chu Ling have made a gesture of being willing to be inferior.
But even so, they can't escape the plots of others, those killers are not only for Chu Ling, but also for the so-called treasure map.
When it comes to the treasure map, Wei Xueying's mood will be bad, the authenticity of the treasure map is unknown, maybe, it is just a virtual incident, but it has killed a lot of people.

The carriage drove all the way to the city gate, and at this time, when he went out at night to be questioned, the guard guarding the gate stopped the carriage.
Wei Xueying sat in the carriage and heard the guards outside asking, "What are you doing when you go out of the city?" ”
"Someone in the family is seriously ill, and he wants to go to the outskirts of the city to see Tulangzhong, the official is fine, let us go!" Said the coachman.
Then, the sound of weighing the copper plate was heard.
The money was enough, and the road was smooth, but the man outside said "Let's go", and the carriage vibrated again.
The coachman kept raising his whip, and the horses ran fast enough, and in the thick and oppressive night, the carriage galloped in an unknown direction.
Wei Xueying lifted the curtain on the window, and at this time they were galloping on a large field of land, the mist shrouded the mysterious distant mountains, and only a bright moon in the sky was abnormal.
She got up, pushed the door open a crack, and asked the driver who was driving, "Little brother, where are we going?" ”
"If you go back to the princess, the prince will be waiting for you on Swallow Mountain."
"Why did you go to Swallow Mountain?" Wei Xueying asked suspiciously.
"Princess, there is no doubt that the prince is in front of the old lady's grave, and he will arrive soon." The coachman replied.
The old lady was referring to Chu Ling's mother, because of her humble background, Chu Ling's mother never had a title until she died, so in Chu Ling's mansion, everyone called his mother like this.
Wei Xueying sat back and asked Yu Fengcheng: "Fengcheng, what do you say is the matter with this Chu Ling, what are we going to do in that cemetery?" ”
Yu Fengcheng also didn't know how to make trouble, so he said: "The prince has always acted unreasonably, probably to avoid human eyes." ”
The carriage went all the way up the mountain, and from this mountain road, Wei Xueying could tell that it was the mountain road she had once walked.
This is not bad, if the situation is not clear, you can be in the cottage first.
Speaking of which, she still misses the fierce mountain bandits in the swallow cottage.
*
The mountain road is a little difficult to walk, and the driver whips all the way, and the bumps are invigorating.
When the carriage slowed down, Wei Xueying looked at it, and it was already the old lady's graveyard.
There was a sudden scene in front of me, except for a few pine trees and tombstones, and a little farther away, there was a cliff.
The cemetery chosen by the emperor for the old lady has a very special geographical location.
It is said that a beautiful valley should be chosen, but the emperor chose a cliffside.
With the help of the white moonlight, Wei Xueying was searching for Chu Ling's figure.
But she saw nothing.
Without finding Chu Ling's figure, Wei Xueying could be sure that this was another plan.
She pushed the door open, and the scene in front of her frightened her.
The coachman was mad, and drove the carriage to the cliff!
"Fengcheng, run away!" Wei Xueying immediately shouted at Yu Fengcheng in the carriage, and then fought with the coachman.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and after Wei Xueying cut the coachman's throat with her arm, the carriage took off......
The panicked horses struggled in the air, kicked, and neighed as hard as they could, but they couldn't step on anything.
What awaits them is endless darkness.
Yu Fengcheng grabbed the door and walked out, hugged Wei Xueying, flew on the top of the carriage that was falling rapidly, and took off.
His eyes were quick, and he quickly grabbed a pine tree leaning out, and hugged Wei Xueying tightly with one hand.
Wei Xueying's breathing was tight, Yu Fengcheng couldn't help but gasp, they lowered their heads together, watching the carriage carrying the coachman's body and planting into the bottomless abyss.
Then there was a loud bang, a long neighing of the horses, and everything was quiet again.
The heavy night engulfed everything under Wei Xueying's feet, and at this moment, Wei Xueying's heart was beating fast, and she actually escaped death again.
"Fengcheng, you hurry up, I'll climb up first." She said.
"Yes."
Wei Xueying hooked Yu Fengcheng, grabbed another thicker branch with all her might, and pulled it hard, which should be able to carry Wei Xueying's weight.
She grabbed the branch tightly and let go of the hand that was holding Yu Fengcheng.
Without Wei Xueying's drag, Yu Fengcheng was able to climb up extremely quickly, fortunately, this was a thick enough pine tree, Yu Fengcheng climbed to the top of the cliff along the branches, the place was very small, only enough for one person to stand.
Therefore, Yu Fengcheng stood close to the cliff, and Wei Xueying climbed on top of the pine tree.
At this time, it was too dark, and they had no way to get out of danger, and the only way to do this was to maintain the status quo.
They kept their positions like this, and the mountain wind blew through a crack in the cliff, making a ghostly whimper, and the cool air mixed with the mournful sound was terrifying.
