Chapter 13: Deliverance
"Is it the prince Xue Zheng who is about to become the crown prince of the Fengtian Kingdom?" Qingquan was a little unsure of his guess. (Please remember to read the website of the novel.com.)
"How did he come here? And on the eve of the crown prince? The more Qingquan thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he had already lost his sleepiness.
Qingquan's mind was thinking quickly. An idea flashed through her mind. changed into a black night robe and covered his face with a black scarf, leaving only those clear but bottomless eyes. Gently push the door open and see that there is no one in the hallway. Qingquan walked quickly to the other side of the inn. I saw that there were two or three lightly dressed men guarding the door of one of the rooms. Qingquan made a detour to the backyard of the inn without hesitation, looked at the open window, jumped up lightly, and turned into the room. There was no one else in the room, except for a boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old sitting in a daze at the bedside, holding a white puppet in his hand.
The boy suddenly found himself standing in front of a man in black, and he was about to shout in a hurry, but he was gagged by a hand with a fragrance. Qingquan put his index finger to his lips through the veil and motioned for the boy not to shout. The boy may have been attracted by the beautiful pair of black clothes in front of him, and he didn't take his eyes off for a long time, and at the same time forgot to shout. Seeing that the boy did not shout again, he withdrew his hand.
With a hint of coldness, Qingquan asked in a low voice,
"Are you a snow sign? The prince of the Kingdom of Mukwon? ”
"How do you know?" Xue Zheng saw that his voice was a little loud, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. At this time, the guard outside the door suddenly shouted outside,
"Young master, who are you talking to?"
Xue Zheng hurriedly responded,
"No, no, I'm talking to my puppet!"
Hearing this, the guards outside immediately fell silent. Xue Wei breathed a sigh of relief and shifted her gaze to the face of the woman in front of her. Although he couldn't see Qingquan's face, he could see from those beautiful eyes that the person in front of him would not hurt him.
"Who are you? Why did you come into my room? Xue asked. Please remember our URL to read the novel.com)
"It doesn't matter who I am, I want to sue you, you can't stay in this room tonight, otherwise there is only a dead end!"
Qingquan didn't beat around the bush without any beatings, and directly told Xue Zheng of his intentions. Thinking that the boy in front of him would ask what was going on, but he didn't want to, Xue Zheng said without hesitation,
"Get me out of here!"
Qingquan didn't expect Xue Zheng to trust himself so lightly, not only stunned. Seeing that the woman in front of her did not react for a while, Xue Zheng said again.
"Didn't you come to save me?"
Qingquan came back to his senses and said,
"I can't take you away right now! That would scare the snake. Gotta make them think you're still in the house, so they'll pounce on you, and then we'll shoot them back. And I can't sue the people outside, I'm afraid that there will be accomplices among those people. That would be more dangerous. ”
Hearing this, Xue Zheng turned his head and shouted outside the door,
"Whisper!"
There was a response from outside the door,
"The subordinates are here!"
"I'm going to sleep, so go and rest!"
"But young master, we can't leave you half a step!"
"Have you forgotten that I don't like people around me when I sleep? All gone! No one is allowed to stand at the door tonight, this is an order, and those who violate it die! ”
There was silence outside the door for a while, and finally he could only answer,
"Subordinates obey!"
Then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then it disappeared.
Xue Zheng turned his head and smiled at the woman in front of him,
"Can you take me away now?"
Kiyozumi's beautiful eyes turned up, and she smiled through the veil. He took Xue Zheng's hand and took him away with a jump from the back window. The two entered Qingquan's room through another corridor. Closing the door, Kiyoizumi took the veil from his face. The alluring face stunned the snow sign in front of him. I was so fascinated that I didn't even listen to Qingquan's question.
Qingquan pushed the snow signs, which pulled him back from his stunned state.
"You, what did you say?" Xue Wei asked a little shyly.
"I ask you, why do you believe me? Aren't you afraid that I'll be the killer and kill you? ”
Xue Zheng suddenly smiled and shook his head,
"You won't!"
"Why are you so sure, we're just meeting for the first time, aren't we?" Qingquan couldn't help but wonder.
"Because your eyes don't lie! Don't look at my age, but I can tell! Qingquan was stunned, because this sentence felt so familiar to her, and some people had said similar things to herself. Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it. Hurriedly said,
"Don't trust anyone's eyes in this world, although it can reveal a lot of secrets, it can also hide a lot of things!"
"But I was right, you didn't kill me, did you?" Xue Zheng still looked at himself with an innocent face. Qingquan seemed to see the carefree self before, and hurriedly avoided it. Change the subject.
"Why is the prince here? Aren't you going to be made a prince soon? Why is it in the inn now? ”
Xue Zheng smiled slightly and replied,
"I wanted to come out to relax, but my father couldn't resist me in the end, so I agreed!"
"It's as simple as that?"
Xue Zheng didn't answer, and the eyes that instantly became melancholy couldn't hide from Qingquan's eyes.
"It's not that simple, is it? Otherwise, no one would want to assassinate you! ”
Xue Zheng smiled bitterly and confessed,
"Actually, I really want you to take me out of here, wherever I go! Yes, it's not that simple. My father is the only prince of the emperor, and it is certain that he will make me the crown prince, but I don't like the throne. I see my father's life in my eyes, although he holds the world, but he has been lonely all his life. I never saw true happiness in his eyes. Especially since the death of my mother, I think so! So I don't want to become like my father, I can't stand that kind of self at all. And ......" Xue Zheng clenched his hands and bit his lip, looking very painful.
"And in order to consolidate his imperial power, your father also asked you to marry a woman you don't like as a concubine, right?"
Xue Zheng did not deny Qingquan's words, and nodded silently.
"So you sneaked out?"
Xue Zheng shook his head,
"No, I did ask for my father's consent and came out to relax! As for who wants to assassinate me, I think it is probably some people in the court who oppose my succession to the throne! ”
"Why should they oppose you? Aren't you the only prince of Mukden? ”
Xue Zheng smiled bitterly again,
"My mother was originally a Qinglou woman, but she was accidentally met by my father, and my father finally took my mother into the palace! Moreover, as far as I am concerned, although my father has always taken good care of my mother and loved me, I am afraid that I will live up to my father's expectations of me! Speaking of this, Qingquan understood the general situation.
Walking lightly in front of Xue Zheng, he reached out and lifted his chin, facing the childish face, Qingquan smiled slightly, but said firmly,
"Don't run, your fate will never escape! Since you can't escape, you have to face him! ”
Looking at the incomparably beautiful woman in front of her, Xue Zheng asked stupidly,
"How to deal with it?"
Qingquan stroked the delicate face, with a hint of coquettishness, and said,
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the people's daughter Qingquan, will be the prince's personal guard in the future!"
