Scarlet Feather looked at Zuo Ying's happy expression, revealing a hint of sadness, "Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun...... Say goodbye without saying goodbye. ”

Zuo Ying frowned in confusion.

"That guy is mysterious." Ashina recalled with an unhappy face: "Just now, Dr. Na Raush Zi didn't say that you ...... He was already dead, and the bloodless boy was crying again, just like the real thing. ”

Speaking of which, Zuo Ying saw Ashina's eyes slightly red. And if the person is dead or not, how can he not tell the difference, I am afraid that she has really died at that time, but he refuses to believe it; There is also Scarlet Feather, who is also grief-stricken because of her "death", thinking of this, Zuo Ying can't help but be moved.

"That guy said he could bring you back," Ashina continued indefinitely, "but we all had to avoid it, and we all had to hide outside the house." But we waited and waited but didn't see him come out, and finally we came in to see what was going on, and the figure of that guy was gone! ”

Scarlet Feather also had tears in her eyes, and her eyes were full of joy and sorrow, as if she had relived the great sorrow and joy at that time, "Your Majesty really has a pulse again, and gradually wakes up, it's really fine......"

Scarlet Feather lowered her head, took out something from her arms and handed it to Zuo Ying, "This is left by Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun." ”

Zuo Ying took the thing handed by Scarlet Feather and looked at it, it turned out to be Li Yunshen's white jade little fox pendant. She held it in the palm of her hand, and the little fox's smiling demeanor was slightly revealed, and now it seemed as if Li Yunshen's spring smile was right in front of her, recalling what she had seen and heard in her dream before waking up, although it was nonsense, it actually corresponded to reality, Zuo Ying couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.

She steadied for a moment and said, "How long have I been asleep?" What time is it? ”

Scarlet Feather replied, "Back to Your Majesty." It is now the hour of the hour, His Majesty has been in a coma for five days, the three armies have not moved, and there are already rumors outside that His Majesty is not in good health. ”

Zuo Ying nodded. A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "Immediately drive and return to Luoyang." ”

She knows. The time has come to admit that the expectations you had of that person were just wishful thinking. Maybe the first war will only bring the fish to death, but now it is no longer possible to continue to take care of the overall situation with forbearance and tolerance. She vaguely sensed that the time for the showdown had come, and that doing nothing meant being tied up, and even if she was fledgling, she could only fight to flap her wings, and maybe take advantage of the moment when the Falcon thought it was gaining momentum and let its guard down.

In the afternoon when the heavy rain first stopped, the clouds over Luoyang City had not completely dispersed. Countless golden rays of light shone out from the edge of the clouds, scattering a golden glow all over the sky. After the heavy rain under the canopy, Luoyang City was covered with a thick layer of color, faintly revealing a turbulent atmosphere that had not yet occurred.

Zuo Ying led the three armies to the outskirts of Luoyang City, and there were already ministers covering the road to greet them.

Just like the information Zuo Ying learned, Helan Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Fengshi and others were not in the team to greet them. Leading the ministers to bow down was Su Bo, the middle secretary.

Zuo Ying went to the main hall of Weiyang Palace to accept worship surrounded by the ministers. Su Bo and others presented a recital, bitterly Chen Helan Chu, Zhang Fengshi and others conspired to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, and they have been imprisoned, waiting for the emperor to return to the court. The poisoned military doctor who was caught, the secret letter from Zhang Fengshi who was intercepted to contact several Zhuguo, the crown robe that was secretly prepared, etc., each of them was enough for the person referred to by the evidence to behead the public and connect the nine clans. Interrogation and verification are just formalities. The only thing that Zuo Ying didn't understand was why Helan Chu, who had always been cautious and thoughtful, only led a few dozen people back to Luoyang in the end, making it so easy and smooth to arrest him.

The fierce enemy who made Zuo Ying have always been threatened with her life and could put her to death with just a few fingers is about to be eliminated. Disappeared from her sight forever, and could no longer persecute her or coerce her, but she didn't know why she didn't feel any burden being let go. Perhaps it was the worry of the turbulent situation that she might face after this shock, or the annoyance of the current situation of the resurgence of external troubles and internal worries, in short, she felt uneasy like never before.

At night, she stood alone in the courtyard of the dormitory. Looking up at the hazy moon shadow in the sky, the mood was as gloomy and uncertain as the moonlight after the rain this night.

"Your Majesty."

Scarlet Feather's soft voice came from behind Zuo Ying.

Zuo Ying turned around, and from the faint light in the courtyard, she saw that Scarlet Feather was frowning at the moment, her eyes were lowered, her lips were biting, and her expression was extremely sad.

"Yu'er, what's wrong?" Zuo Ying said strangely.

Scarlet Feather did not raise his head, but fell to his knees with a puff, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Scarlet Feather is a capital crime." After speaking, he kowtowed three times in a row.

"Yu'er, didn't I say that you can't stop saying that you are 'capital sin' and 'deserve to die' at every turn?" Zuo Ying said.

"Your Majesty," Scarlet Feather straightened up, but never raised her eyes to look at Zuo Ying, "Scarlet Feather has a secret to tell Your Majesty." Your Majesty may be sad and disappointed and angry when she hears this, but Scarlet Feather has the courage to ask Your Majesty to listen to Scarlet Feather finish his words no matter what. Scarlet Feather is willing to accept any punishment from His Majesty. ”

Zuo Ying felt that things were even more extraordinary. She sat down on the stone bench behind her, her brow furrowing slightly, "I promise you." ”

Scarlet Feather raised her head slightly, clenched her fists, as if she had mustered up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, Scarlet Feather wants to implore Your Majesty to pardon the death penalty of the Grand Master." ”

Zuo Ying took a deep breath, "Why are you asking me to pardon his capital crimes?" ”

Scarlet Feather said: "Scarlet Feather knows that this rebellion has nothing to do with Taishi, and the reason why he hurried back to Luoyang in a hurry was to stop the rebellion that Zhang Fengshi and others were planning. ”

"Why do you say that?" Zuo Ying asked in a deep voice.

"It was the Taishi who told Scarlet Feather personally before leaving, so that Scarlet Feather should be more vigilant by His Majesty's side to protect His Majesty's safety. Therefore, the person who ordered the poisoning of His Majesty could not be the Taishi. Scarlet Feather's tone calmed down.

Zuo Ying suppressed the uneasiness in her heart that had been buried deep and began to rise again at this moment, and continued to ask, "Why did he tell you this?" ”

"Because ......," Scarlet Feather's tone became miserable, "Because, Scarlet Feather is actually the eyes and ears that the Taishi once placed beside His Majesty." ”

For Zuo Ying, this sentence is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

With Zuo Ying's subtle knowledge, it is not that he does not have the slightest suspicion of Scarlet Feather. His unknown origin, his extraordinary skills, his unconditional courtship and closeness to her...... All of them once made her doubts, but as time went by, the more she got along with him, the more she couldn't bear to doubt and think about it, she just wanted to believe and accept.

This should have been an expected mystery, but it was a big accident that was enough to give Zuo Ying a blow.
