Chapter 268: Salvation
Little by little, the night darkened, and the candlelight in the room flickered and shone on the wall, pulling the figure curled up in the chair very long. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, making the branches crackle, and occasionally the branches that had been broken by the cold wind smashed on the ground with a rattling sound.
The room became quieter and quieter, and Kang Yeon could hear the voices of the guards under the porch whispering about the cold.
The food on several tables was already cold.
Kang Yan didn't take a sip, she didn't even dare to drink saliva, who knows if the food in it was drugged, if it was drugged, she would really be doomed.
Pursing her dry lips, Kang Yan was thinking about the hour in her heart, it should have been almost past this time, almost four hours have passed since she disappeared, Qi Chenjing and they don't know when they will find this place.
Kang Yeon listened to the sounds outside with her ears sideways, and found that she couldn't hear anything except the howling cold wind and the complaints of the guards under the porch.
Presumably she was kept in a very secluded place.
Kang Yan's heart is full and bad, she has done everything she can do, and now all she can do is wait.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the room is gradually getting a layer of coolness, Kang Yan protects herself with her arms, hoping to give herself a little warmth.
She didn't dare to sleep.
There was another sound of footsteps under the corridor, and then she heard Dong Xu's voice again, and her body subconsciously tensed.
"Be sure to cheer me up tonight, don't make a mistake, and wait for tomorrow. I will reward you heavily. Dong Xu instructed the people guarding the door.
The guards bowed down and replied yes, though the weather was cold. But Dong Xu's reward for this errand is enough, think about those white flowers. Even if the cold wind blows for another day, they are willing to do it in their hearts.
Dong Xu paused at the door, thought about it, and pushed the door open.
The people in the room jumped up from their chairs as if frightened, tensed up, and looked at him with a wary expression.
Dong Xu's gaze fell on the untouched meal on the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Is the county lord afraid that I will drug you?" I didn't even eat food. β
Kang Yan's eyes were firmly fixed on Dong Xu's every move, for fear that he would suddenly rush over. After listening to Dong Xu's question, he nodded without hesitation, "Of course, this kind of thing is too stupid to learn to be obedient if you suffer a loss once." β
She was referring to Dong Xu's drugging of her in Xingrun Building.
Dong Xu pretended not to hear the irony in Kang Yan's words, and sat down opposite Kang Yan, "County Lord, how about we talk?"
The attitude is very peaceful, and there is no anger and arrogance in the afternoon.
Kang Yeon didn't think there was anything to talk about with him. However, after the afternoon's events, she didn't dare to stimulate Dong Xu anymore, and was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Okay." β
That being said. But she always maintained a defensive posture.
Dong Xu smiled and persuaded her, "Actually." As the county lord, you can find a desirable husband in the noble circle of the capital. Why do you have to recognize King An? β
"King An's identity is embarrassing, although I don't know how to learn. I don't know much about the government, but I know my aunt and cousin, and they won't allow King An to exist, so sooner or later, something will happen to King An's mansion, so why should the county lord go to this troubled water? β
Kang Yeon's lowered hand rubbed the hairpin in her palm, and she was silent.
After a while, he said, "The emperor personally gave me and King An a marriage, why did he say that I want to wade into this troubled water?" Isn't it right for me to be on my husband's side? β
Dong Xu sighed, "Actually, if the county lord can take the initiative to propose to the emperor to dissolve your marriage with King An, the emperor will look at the face of the eldest princess Fuyun and the county lord of Xiangning, otherwise he will not treat the county lord lightly, the future of the Kang family will definitely be promising, so why do you have to be entangled with King An." β
This is a change of tactics, trying to persuade her to take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract with Qi Chenjing, Kang Yan's heart secretly sneered, and at the same time, an irrepressible anger rose in her heart, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Dong Xu, with a confused look on her face, "I don't understand, King An is just a prince, the emperor has been on the throne for almost five years, King An will not pose any threat to the emperor's position, why do the queen mother and the emperor have to kill King An?" β
Dong Xu's complexion changed, and he didn't understand whether Kang Yan was really stupid or pretending to be stupid?
Shall others sleep peacefully beside the couch? All the courtiers used to think that the first emperor only had the blood of the emperor, he was naturally the undisputed prince, the next emperor, and now that he is the emperor, but suddenly a king An appeared, his heart will naturally not be happy, of course he will think that King An will threaten his throne.
This is Dong Xu's own idea, of course, he thinks that the psychology of the queen mother and the emperor that he figured out is very accurate.
In fact, what Kang Yan said was not exactly pretending, she was actually confused in her heart.
It is true that the emperor will be jealous of King An, since ancient times, there has been no emperor who is not jealous of his brother, but he has been on the throne for five years, and it is said that the throne has been stable, if he really does not want to see Qi Chenjing, I am afraid that he will pose a threat to his throne, just let Qi Chenjing be a rich prince, and don't let him touch his hands in anything, Qi Chenjing has the ability to reach the sky, and he has no connections and military power, and it is impossible to pull him off the dragon chair?
Why did the Queen Mother and the Emperor all these things want to put Qi Chenjing to death?
Could it be that they think that Qi Chenjing really has the ability to pull the emperor off the dragon chair?
Kang Yan felt strange when he thought about it, Qi Chenjing had no large number of courtiers around him to support him, and there was no military power in the second-hand, that is, he had the support of his grandfather Mr. Yan and his protΓ©gΓ©s, but the problem was that the queen mother and the emperor did not know that Mr. Yan was Qi Chenjing's grandfather, and they now felt that the Ningguo Mansion was supporting Qi Chenjing.
It is with the support of the Ningguo Mansion, but the Chen family has not been in charge of the military for many years, and all the power is limited, the only thing that will cause the emperor to be particularly jealous is the Eagle Guard in the hands of her grandmother, Princess Fuyun, but the Eagle Guard is no matter how elite it is, there are only sixty-eight people, is it possible that the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Daliang are afraid that the Eagle Guard of less than 100 people will not be successful?
Unless they think that Qi Chenjing has a strong enough reason to pull the emperor down?
What is it exactly? Kang Yan was puzzled, and when she saw Dong Xu asking her, she simply said the question in her heart.
Dong Xu smiled and ignored Kang Yan's words, "The county lord may wish to consider my proposal, if the county lord is really willing to do this, I guarantee that the Kang family will be prosperous and rich in the future, and enjoy it inexhaustibly." β
Kang Yeon shook her head without hesitation, "I can't do anything about it." β
Dong Xu didn't expect him to persuade him hard, but Kang Yan rejected him without blinking his eyes, and stood up a little annoyed at the moment, "The county lord doesn't toast and don't eat and drink." β
Kang Yan leaned against a few cases, clasped one hand on a few cases, stared at Dong Xu tightly, and pursed her lips tightly.
Dong Xu quickly stepped forward, quickly swept to Kang Yan, grabbed Kang Yan's already raised hand, took out the hairpin in her hand and threw it to the ground, the sharp hairpin fell on the marble floor with a crisp sound, rolled a few times and fell into the corner.
"Hehe, do you think I'm going to let you threaten me with death? To borrow a sentence from the county lord just now, I have suffered a loss once, and I still don't learn to be obedient, which is too stupid. β
He clasped Kang Yeon's arms tightly with both hands.
Kang Yeon bit her lip tightly and stepped back.
Dong Xu pressed her body and forced her into a corner again, "Yes, I didn't want the overlord to be hard-bowed, hehe, but you are too hard, so, county lord, I can only be sorry for you, women, thoughts always obey the body, and whoever the body gives will obey." β
As he spoke, his head was already pressed up.
Kang Yan was in a hurry, her head dodged his lips full of alcohol, and in a hurry, she raised her foot and kicked Dong Xu, kicking Dong Xu's calf bone with enough strength.
Dong Xu was in pain, he didn't expect Kang Yan to kick him, he was immediately annoyed, raised his hand and wanted to slap Kang Yan, but he didn't go down after all, but grabbed Kang Yan's collar and pulled it down heavily, "It seems that you can only get you first, and you will be more well-behaved." β
Kang Yan was dragging her shirt to death, but a sense of despair rose in her heart, did she really want to be ruined by Dong Xu?
She heard the sound of her clothes being torn, and the tip of her tongue touched between her teeth, and she closed her eyes, ready to bite down with hatred.
But she heard a dull sound, and the force that had been exerted on her body suddenly disappeared, and she fell into a familiar embrace.
A big hand pinched her chin, "Don't bite, Yan'er, it's me." β
Kang Yan opened her eyes, Qi Chenjing's anxious eyes came into view, and she suddenly burst into tears, and her whole body was paralyzed.
Qi Chenjing wrapped the cloak on her body and hugged her tightly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm sorry, I'm late." β
Kang Yan shook her head, buried her head in his arms, and tears kept falling, instantly wetting Qi Chenjing's clothes.
His eyes darkened, remembering the scene he saw when he entered the house, and secretly regretted that he had attacked Dong Xu too lightly just now, if he was one step late, Yan'er might really bite down.
Thinking of this, a fire broke out in his heart, and when this fire touched the dried blood stains on Kang Yeon's neck, it burned even more fiercely.
Dong Xu, right?
waited until Kang Yan calmed down a little, and then saw Dong Xu lying on the ground who didn't know what was going on, "You knocked him unconscious?" β
Qi Chenjing snorted coldly, "Cheaper him." As he spoke, he stepped forward and kicked him hard, and commanded the people outside, "Come in and clean up." β
Two people dressed in black walked in, stepped forward lightly and tied Dong Xu tightly, and the other person quickly moved on Dong Xu's face, and after a while, Dong Xu's face changed, and he couldn't see the appearance of Dong Sangongzi before, but became a handsome and delicate young man.
