Chapter Twenty-Eight: Incense and Horror

At this time, the hunting palace has gradually calmed down, King Yong broke through, although it caused a lot of trouble to Fengyimen, but also weakened the resistance in the hunting palace, Wei Ying with the token in charge of the forbidden army, quickly controlled the situation, the rest of the forbidden army, in addition to the three thousand forbidden army that controls the Xiaoshuang Palace is completely controlled by Fengyimen, the forbidden army that protects the Yulin Palace has been replaced by the one thousand forbidden army of Xiahou Yuanfeng, and the rest of the forbidden army has been disrupted and sent to control the hunting palace everywhere, and all the accompanying ministers are under house arrest, Even those who are inclined to Fengyimen are no exception, of course, if these ministers do not have to, they do not want to really get involved in the rebellion, which will hinder their reputation.

Wei Ying took the forbidden army around to make sure there were no remnants of resistance. The originally elegant and handsome face had a faint murderous aura, and he completely lost his former calm demeanor.

At this moment, his heart is very anxious, but the strange thing is that he remembered the past in his mind, the relationship between the Wei family and Fengyimen has never been known, who would have thought that Mrs. Wei and the master of Fengyi are Jinlan sisters, soon after Wei Ying was born, he was favored by the master of Fengyi, and secretly taught him martial arts, and Wei Ying also lived up to the expectations of the master of Fengyi, and became a handsome talent with both civil and military skills, because the Wei family has always been neutral, so no one knows that Wei Ying is the only male registered disciple of the master of Fengyi.

As Wei Ying grew up, he and Fengyimen gradually became estranged, after all, as the son of the prime minister, and a young talent praised by everyone, his future is unlimited, if he has a close relationship with Fengyimen, it will cause the suspicion and exclusion of the royal family, so he almost never shows his martial arts, and is dedicated to being a talent in the Xiangge, but just when he is proud, an unexpected blow comes.

Whether it is the prince's plan or Fengyimen's fake public benefit, he has become the emperor's chosen concubine, the fiancΓ© of Princess Changle, frankly speaking, he has no affection for Princess Changle, after all, for him who is humble on the outside and arrogant in his heart, Princess Changle is not his dream wife, but he knows very well what marrying a princess means to him, so he gladly accepted the emperor's arrangement, but the blow followed, Princess Changle would rather become a monk than marry, This made Wei Ying, who had always been smooth, feel unprecedented anger in his heart. It was also in this year that he began to get close to Fengyimen, but in this process, he always walked with a mask, except for the master of Fengyimen, no one knew that this Lord Wei, who was deeply favored by the emperor, actually became the protector of Fengyimen himself.

At the beginning, Wei Ying still didn't want to rebel, and even deliberately delayed the decision of the Fengyi Sect Master several times, for him, it was very easy to take charge of the phase after ten years, and there was no need to risk his wealth like this. However, when the Fengyi Sect Master proposed that plan, he still had no way to refuse, getting Princess Changle was already the only way for him to enter the royal family, so he let the Fengyi Sect Master dominate the farce, and even beforehand, he secretly won Lu'e's heart with his gentle and elegant appearance and gentle and sweet words. Because every time Princess Changle deliberately avoided him, Lu E couldn't help but be ordered to make perfunctory excuses, and Wei Ying took the opportunity to deceive the girl's sincerity. And on that day, Lu'e, who was full of hope to accompany the princess to marry the Wei family, was really confused everywhere, if it weren't for Princess Changle's biological mother and concubine to arrive, Princess Changle must have been forced to marry him, but that day, Wei Ying knew that he would never have any chance. Seeing that Qingyun's road was cut off, he finally made up his mind, as long as he supported the crown prince to ascend the throne, then with his own merits, there would be absolutely no problem if he wanted to marry the princess.

But things are always unsatisfactory, King Yong didn't know how to debunk his seamless deception, and even ventured to break through successfully, which made his heart full of panic, although Li Hanyou had already gone to force the talisman to mobilize the Qin army to hunt down King Yong, but in case of failure, Wei Ying had never felt so distressed and worried as now, so when clearing the rebel forces, he was unprecedentedly ruthless, and along the way, more than a dozen officials were killed by him because of resistance, and the blood was stained with the Hunting Palace Forbidden Garden.

What annoyed Wei Ying was that after Li Hanyou and Xiao Lan and others discussed, they didn't know Wei Ying, so they put the prince and young Fu Lu Jingzhong under house arrest in the Yulin Palace, the reason is that all the women of Fengyimen feel that Lu Jingzhong will be an enemy in the future, rather than letting Lu Jingzhong stir up the situation and damage the interests of Fengyimen, it is better to take the opportunity to kill him, fortunately Wei Ying arrived in time, but the wood has already been completed, since he has offended Lu Jingzhong, he can no longer offend Li Hanyou and Xiao Lan, and in desperation, Wei Ying had to agree to temporarily put Lu Jingzhong under house arrest. However, Wei Ying hated the behavior of the women of Fengyi Sect who disregarded the overall situation and cut off their arms before the major event was accomplished.

While inspecting, while thinking about how to control the overall situation, when Wei Ying walked to Hanxiangyuan, his heart suddenly moved, for him, no matter what benefits he obtained from the success of the rebellion, it was not as important as Princess Changle's marriage, and when he came here, he suddenly thought that now Princess Changle must be worried about what happened outside, if he took the opportunity to go to comfort, or he could get the princess to rest assured, thinking of this, he walked towards Hanxiangyuan, the forbidden army guarding the door was not Fengyimen and the prince, but when he saw Wei Ying, he didn't dare to stop it, After all, they are not fools, they still know that there was an accident in this hunting palace, but the emperor and General Qin are nowhere to be seen, and these forbidden troops do not dare to act rashly, after all, this is the civil strife of the royal family, if they stand in the wrong position, they will die, and Wei Ying is the emperor's messenger in their eyes, after all, the gold medal in control of the forbidden army is in his hand. Walking into Hanxiang Garden, Wei Ying only felt a sense of depression, and the juhua flowers in the garden were full of Xiao Killing. He walked to the steps of the princess's dormitory and said in a loud voice, "Chen Weiying asks to see Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

There was silence in the hall, and after a long time, a palace maid in her thirties, dignified and beautiful, walked out and said, "Cuiluan Hall Shangyi Zhou has seen Lord Wei, Her Royal Highness the princess has gone to Xiaoshuang Palace, not here." ”

Wei Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "There is chaos in the hunting palace now, why did Zhou Shangyi let the princess go to the Xiaoshuang Palace?" ”

Zhou Shangyi said: "How dare the slave stop the princess's actions, the princess is worried about the safety of the emperor and the concubine, so she went to Xiaoshuang Palace." ”

Wei Ying showed a disappointed look on his face, and suddenly, he found that Zhou Shangyi's expression was a little flustered, and his mind was full of clues, King Yong broke through, but Jiang Zhe did not accompany him, at least no one saw it, he searched the ruins of King Yong's residence after the fire, but he did not see the body, then Jiang Zhe may still be in the palace, he patrolled around, and he also had plans to search for this person, but he was not sure whether this person really stayed, so he did not search on a large scale, after all, the advantage of Fengyi Gate now is actually just a mirror, as long as someone climbs the heights and shouts, I'm afraid that those forbidden troops will not be able to control it, thinking of the rumors, Princess Changle and that Jiang Zhe have a personal relationship, if this is true, then Jiang Zhe may be in Hanxiang Garden, thinking of this, Wei Ying sneered: "Since this is the case, let the official search Hanxiang Garden, now the rebellion in the palace has not been eradicated, if the princess is frightened, the official can't afford it." ”

Zhou Shangyi was shocked, she knew that this Hanxiangyuan could not be searched, just when the fire began to rise in the night, Princess Changle's bedroom suddenly came to an uninvited guest, although Zhou Shangyi had not seen it, but she knew this person, Jiang Zhejiang Sima, Nanchu Caizi, King Yong's henchman, and also Princess Changle's intended person. Supporting him was a young man with a delicate appearance and a cold temperament, Zhou Shangyi had heard that Jiang Zhe had a servant who was born as a eunuch in Southern Chu by his side, but this person didn't look like him. The two of them came secretly, and they broke into the princess's bedroom directly, and only Zhou Shangyi accompanied them at that time. Then the weak and haggard young man let himself and his servants go outside to guard, he and the princess talked secretly for a long time, and then Princess Changle took a few palace maids and the little eunuch Xiao Liuzi to the Xiaoshuang Palace, and asked Zhou Shangyi to take good care of Jiang Sima before leaving, and not let others find out. But now that Wei Ying wants to search Hanxiangyuan, what should I do, the princess has said that Wei Ying is a rebellious party. The change in her expression was seen by Wei Ying, and he was happy and jealous in his heart, if he caught Jiang Zhe, it would be equivalent to holding all the secrets of King Yong in his hands. He was about to enter the hall to search, but remembered the "evil shadow" Li Shunlai, if the evil shadow was by Jiang Zhe's side, then he would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net, Wei Ying did not get the reward of smelling purple smoke, and he didn't know that Xiao Shunzi had broken through, the evil shadow was loyal to Jiang Zhe, this is a well-known thing, I don't know how many people are strangled for this, Wei Ying doesn't have the courage to face that kind of master, ruthless, Wei Ying ordered: "Go and gather the forbidden army to surround this place, and then go to Concubine Lan Niangniang to transfer a few swordsmen over." Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't leave the swordsmen of Fengyimen by his side, but now, if he didn't have those fierce swordsmen, he wouldn't be at ease and just break in.

Han Xiangyuan, the princess's bedroom, I sat on the soft couch, calculating the possibility of victory or defeat in my heart, but the situation is complicated, it is really difficult to calculate, although I don't know why the forbidden army will defect, but I estimate that the most likely is that Fengyimen launched the power in the harem, stealing the talisman, and then cut off the emperor's contact with the outside world, so that Fengyimen has an advantage in the local area, and then you can use Jiaozhao to launch all the power of the emperor to encircle and suppress King Yong, who would have thought, This kind of thing will happen in this place where the emperor has the most power, and this is also the result of underestimating the power of Fengyimen in the harem after I won several times, but this is not the time to think about this, Princess Changle is the only way I can turn things around, otherwise I will do my best, at most it will be a lose-lose ending, which Dayong can't afford.

And after getting the emperor's secret decree and the token of General Qin, the most important thing is how to send these out safely, although I have selected this candidate, but I am not sure, if it fails, it will be a catastrophe, no, a trace of ruthless light flashed in my eyes, if this person is wrong, I must kill him immediately, and I must not give him a chance to say it, so I have to let Dong Que go, but Dong Que is not safe, he is likely to be intercepted and killed by the people of Fengyimen halfway.

While I was meditating, there was a knock on the window lattice, and Dong Que floated in and said in a low voice: "Childe, the matter has been done, he will be there in a while." ”

I said in a deep voice, "Is he reliable?" ”

Dong Que said: "Don't worry, my senior brother was under house arrest by Li Hanyou after the East Palace incident, and he was not released by the prince until a few days ago, and the senior brother was already disheartened by Fengyimen and the prince, so as soon as I took the blame for righteousness, he agreed." ”

My heart was relieved and I said, "Does he recognize you?" ”

Dong Que smiled bitterly: "It seems that my change is really big, although the senior brother is a little confused, but he didn't recognize me, if I didn't win the Yongwang gold medal, he wouldn't believe me." ”

I smiled slightly and said, "That's good, and you don't mind, I will add a ban on your senior brother in a while, this is also a last resort, this is the only possibility for His Royal Highness King Yong to reverse the situation, I can't take it lightly." ”

Dong Yi nodded and said: "Senior brother will understand, and I know very well, as long as King Yong escapes, he will be temporarily weak, and he will be able to turn the tide later, but the loss is greater, and the senior brother will agree to Gongzi's arrangement for the sake of the master." ”

I was about to continue, when suddenly there were footsteps in my ears and Zhou Shangyi's anxious voice said, "Lord Wei, you can't search the princess's bedroom, it's too rude." ”

I felt a wail in my heart, how could Wei Ying come here, could it really be that I was exhausted. Hurriedly looked at the dormitory, I had been thinking about how to deal with Fengyi Gate, but I forgot to find a place to hide. Dong Que smiled slightly bitterly, stepped forward to pull me up, and gently pointed to the bed, I looked at him with inexplicable eyes. He stepped forward lightly and slapped a few times on the bed, and then the bed slid away silently, revealing the dark compartment below, which could barely accommodate a person, and my eyes widened, how could there be a dark compartment here. Dong Que didn't pay attention to my doubts, lifted me up, and clicked on me a few times, I only felt that my mind was gradually blurred, vaguely as if I had been stuffed into the dark compartment, and then there was darkness in front of me.

Wei Ying asked all the palace maids and eunuchs of Hanxiangyuan to be driven into a side hall, and he led people to search them, and after receiving his instructions, Xiao Lan sent Feng Feifei over, and the prince was calm, naturally he didn't need so many people, and the two searched the rest of the room. But they didn't find it, and in the end, the eyes of the two were focused on the princess's bedroom. Wei Ying hesitated, if he really searched the princess's bedroom, whether he could find someone or not, he was afraid that Princess Changle would be resentful of herself, but after thinking about it, if she searched for someone, she might be able to force the princess to submit, so Wei Ying said to Feng Feifei: "This is the princess's bedroom, I am inconvenient to search, and I ask the third girl to do it for me." ”

Feng Feifei smiled slightly, with a graceful and soft smile on her beautiful face, she gently straightened her sideburns, and said softly: "If you can catch Jiang Zhe, Shizun must be very happy." She only said that Wei Ying was afraid of the evil shadow Li Shun, and she felt a little disdain in her heart, so she raised her sword and walked into the palace.

Hanxiangyuan was originally a palace for concubines or princesses, and the concubines and clans with slightly lower status were not qualified to live in, as soon as they walked into the palace, they only felt that they were beautifully decorated, elegant and noble, Feng Feifei smiled faintly, although she was also a princess in name, the place where the senior sister of Hanyou lived was far worse than here, she searched carefully, but she did not find the slightest thing, although she was not very proficient in the secret weapon, but there was no secret room in this palace but it was certain, and finally her eyes focused on the bed. This bed is made of agarwood, very exquisite, elegant aroma, Feng Feifei approached the bed, carefully inspected for a long time, this whole bed is integrated, it is impossible to have a mechanism, but Feng Feifei looked at this bed with some envy, and then walked out of the palace.

Seeing Wei Ying, she shook her head slightly, Wei Ying frowned in annoyance, offending Princess Changle again for no reason, it was really worth the loss. At this moment, Xie Xiaotong and two female swordsmen of Fengyimen came over with a little eunuch, and as soon as they saw Feng Feifei, Xie Xiaotong said excitedly: "Third sister, we are about to succeed over there." As she spoke, she quickly told the matter of Xiaoshuang Palace, and she spoke eloquently and very clearly.

A hint of joy flashed in Feng Feifei's eyes, and he said, "I didn't expect Princess Changle to be so knowledgeable, but we searched Hanxiangyuan here, and I don't know if things will change because of this." Saying that, he glanced at Wei Ying with some worry and annoyance. Wei Ying smiled slightly, Feng Feifei and these people are women no matter what, although they are vicious enough, but they are not decisive enough, no wonder the master of Fengyi Sect does not let them be responsible for this matter. But he didn't want to offend them, so he said lightly: "As long as you warn, you are still afraid that these subordinates dare to say anything, as long as these few days pass, even if they say it, what does it matter, Princess Changle will not return to Hanxiangyuan, and she will not know about this matter for the time being." ”

Xie Xiaotong nodded and said, "You go and do something." She said this to Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Liuzi nodded in panic, and quickly ran to see Zhou Shangyi, these palace maids and eunuchs quickly packed up their things, Guifei Niangniang and Princess Changle have a lot of belongings, and they will not be finished for a while, Wei Ying and Feng Feifei are too lazy to look down, and Xie Xiaotong explained and left, after Wei Ying and others left, the forbidden army also withdrew, at this time, a figure in the juhua bush stood up quietly, and he was wearing a thin silk cloak, The color on it was very similar to the color of the flowers, and those forbidden soldiers and Wei Ying didn't pay attention, after all, their purpose was to find a weak scholar who was powerless.

He gently entered the princess's bedroom, at this time, Xiao Liuzi and Zhou Shangyi were already waiting there, and when Xiao Liuzi saw him, he said in a low voice: "Where is the son?" ”

Dong Que pointed to the bed, Zhou Shangyi's heart was wide, this bed was made in the palace secretly, and there was a secret grid in it, but not everyone knew about this matter, Hanxiangyuan couldn't use it a few times a year, so no one knew, and the eldest grandson Guifei was the one who knew, she gave it to Princess Changle as a joke, Jiang Zhe took refuge here last night, he didn't think of it, but Princess Changle thought of what to do if someone searched it, so he told Dong Que about this place, but Jiang Zhe was in his heart how to reverse the situation, Instead, they didn't pay attention to it.

Zhou Shangyi nodded reassuringly, now is not the time to release Jiang Zhe, Xiao Liuzi handed over the silk and jade pendant handed over to him by the princess to Dong Que, briefly talked about the situation, and then packed up the princess's clothes and jewelry with Zhou Shangyi, and left the dormitory in a hurry.

Then Dong Que picked up Jiang Zhe, who had a weak breath, from the dark grid, and saw that his face was pale, Dong Que hurriedly unlocked his acupoint, and said in his heart: "He doesn't have a problem, this method is the lightest." ”

When I woke up from the coma, I saw Dong Que's anxious face, I shook my heavy head and said in a low voice: "Is the person already gone?" ”

Dong Que said: "Don't worry, Son, Wei Ying has already left, this is sent by the princess." As he spoke, he handed me the ayapa and jade pendant.

I unfolded the silk pad, saw the seal on it, smiled slightly, instructed Dong Que to bring pen and ink, and quickly wrote a few lines of words: "The prince rebelled, Qin Yong obeyed the orders of King Yong, hunted the palace to save the driver, and the rest of the edicts did not have to be followed." ”

Putting down the pen, I smiled and said, "As long as these two things are sent to Qin Yong's hands, there is no need to worry, by the way, can your senior brother become a messenger to pass the decree?" ”

Dong Que was about to answer, but he heard footsteps outside again. Both of them were shocked in their hearts, could it be that Wei Ying is back again?
