The guy went to the back kitchen to report the dishes first, and when he came back, he brought a pot of hot tea and poured it intimately for Feng Qingfang.

"The girl looks like she has just arrived from out of town, is she here to visit relatives and friends, or is she here to run a business? How can you come alone? ”

"There is no one in my family anymore, this time I came to my relatives," Feng lightly casually lied, "It's the first time I've come to the capital, and I'm still a little excited." ”

The young man smiled: "It turns out that it is the first time to come, that girl is going to take a good walk in the capital, this is the most prosperous place in the whole Dayan, it is much more fun, I guarantee that you will not be able to go for three months!" ”

Isn't it like you can't finish it for three months? Feng Qing said wildly, thinking that she often sneaked out to wander around at the beginning, and it took half a year to get a rough idea of the city.

"I want to, but how much does it cost to visit the whole capital? It's better to just hang out. Feng Qingfang deliberately pretended to be very miserable, "Alas, my family is in the middle of the road, and even the money to go to Beijing was raised by selling the family property." ”

"Our family has not been in contact with relatives in the capital for several years, to be honest, the capital is so big, I don't even know how to find their residence, and I don't know if they are willing to take me in, alas......"

When the man saw that she was a lonely girl, helpless, he felt strange and pitiful, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"I don't know who your relative's name is, do you have their address?"

Feng shook his head in a daze, and said, "I don't have a specific address, but I only heard my father say that my cousin is a housekeeper in a big official's mansion, what is the name of that big official?" Call...... By the way, it's surnamed Feng! ”

"Surname Feng?" The guy instantly thought of the answer, "There is only one official surnamed Feng in the capital, and that is Dingguo Gong, if your cousin is really the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, then you should go to the Guogong Mansion to find him." ”

"You said Dingguo Mansion?" Feng Qing's eyes widened wildly, expressing shock, "Can I be allowed to enter a small civilian in such a place?" I heard that Dingguo Gong is a good official, but his daughters are not good at stubble, especially the third daughter Feng is frivolous, domineering, vicious, and likes to bully honest people the most, I don't know if it's true? ”

The guy bowed slightly, and said with a solemn face: "That third lady is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, and her vicious and domineering behavior is also true, but the other young ladies are all knowledgeable, kind and virtuous, and they are completely different from her." ”

Alas, this reputation cannot be restored...... Feng Qingfang sighed silently.

"Besides, what does it matter if you just go to the housekeeper and you can't see them? Also, Miss Fengsan went back to the countryside a year ago, and now that she is not in the capital, you don't have to worry. ”

Feng nodded frantically, it turned out that Feng Heng said that her disappearance was going to the countryside, which was really a good explanation.

"If you say that, I'm much more relieved."

After a pause, she asked again: "By the way, on the way here, I overheard someone talking about it, saying that the emperor is very sick and has not been able to sleep well for a long time. ”

"Is there such a thing?" The guy was shocked, apparently he hadn't heard the news at all, "Who did you listen to?" It must be nonsense, right? If the emperor was really sick, then the capital would have been rumored to be in an uproar, and I couldn't have known it. ”

Feng Qing pretended to be indifferent, smiled, and said, "Then I should have heard it wrong, right?" Or maybe it was indeed those people who broke it blindly, and the emperor was healthy. ”

It seems that Mu Liancheng's illness has not been said to the public, and it should be for fear of causing speculation among the people of the world, as well as the changes of those with ulterior intentions.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Wang Hu's guy lied to her.

"The new emperor is only in his early twenties, and he has only been on the throne for more than a year. I'm afraid that some ill-intentioned people are deliberately spreading rumors and trying to disturb people's hearts, so don't take it seriously when you hear it in the future. ”

As the guy spoke, the meal was ready.

After dinner, Feng Qingfang went back to the guest room.

Originally, she wanted to rest early and find a way to enter the palace tomorrow, but her mind was full of scenes of Mu Liancheng being seriously ill in bed, lying on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time and unable to sleep peacefully, she hoped that Wang Hu had deceived her, and Mu Liancheng was fine at all.

It's a pity that the truth often doesn't go in the direction you want.

I thought about it for a long, long time, until my eyelids were too heavy to hold up, and Feng Qingfang fell asleep.

The next day, Feng Qingfang went out again to inquire about something related to the emperor, but no one mentioned the topic of the emperor's illness, which should have been a good thing, but for some reason it made her even more worried.

It was night again, in the dead of night, Feng changed into his night clothes and quietly left the inn and headed for the palace.

During the day, she came to explore the road and found that the guards at Nanyang Gate were relatively lax, so she guessed that it would be easier to enter through Nanyang Gate.

As it turns out, it does.

Feng Qing beat wildly from the time she escaped the guards guarding the gate and entered the palace gate, she passed all the way without encountering any obstacles, so smooth that even she couldn't believe it.

However, she was in a hurry to see Mu Liancheng, so she didn't think much about it, and only walked in the direction of the middle palace.

Feng Qingmad has been to the palace many times, and has lived in the harem, so he is quite familiar with the environment and terrain here, but because it is night, the sense of direction is affected many times, and it still took almost two hours to find the way accurately.

It's just that as soon as he sneaked into the middle palace, Feng Qingfang found a question, where is Mu Liancheng's dormitory?

There are many palaces in the middle, all of which are magnificent, and they can all be used as the emperor's bedroom, so she can't find them one by one, right? You may not be able to find it tomorrow night.

Just when I was troubled, I suddenly heard a series of footsteps approaching.

Feng Qingfang hurriedly jumped into the flower garden on the side of the road, squatted down and hid.

After a while, I heard a male duck voice say: "Don't grind, the emperor is still waiting, if you go late, it will make the emperor angry, and you will all have to be beaten one by one!" ”

Hearing the words "Emperor", Feng Qingyan immediately came to his senses, carefully brushed aside the branches in front of him, and looked outside.

At this time, it was a group of palace people, all of whom were in a hurry, holding bowls and pots in their hands, as if they were in a hurry to bring something to the emperor to eat.

Is it medicine? Feng Qingfang immediately thought of Mu Liancheng's long-standing insomnia.

But you don't have to drink so much medicine, right?

However, it's been this time, Mu Liancheng hasn't fallen asleep yet, it seems that the problem of insomnia is quite serious, and he should really take more medicine.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a little eunuch whispering: "Father-in-law, you said that the emperor drinks so many calming and sleeping pills every day, why is it not good at all?" Is it not good to use the medicine prescribed by the people in the hospital? ”

The father-in-law knocked him on the head and reprimanded: "Just do your part, do you want to talk more?" Hurry up, hurry up, don't rub in! ”

The palace people quickened their pace and followed closely behind the leading father-in-law.

Since these people are going to see Mu Liancheng, then just follow them.

Feng Qingfang hurriedly climbed out of the flower garden and tiptoed over.

All the way through two small gardens, I turned an unknown number of turns, crossed many palace gates, and finally stopped outside the Qingji Palace.

Feng Qing frantically hid behind the tree, looking at the brightly lit dormitory, and couldn't help but get excited.

It turns out that this is where Mu Liancheng lives now?

"Grandpa Sun, you're finally here." The person who greeted him was Li Cocoon, and he was anxious at the moment.

Grandpa Sun said in panic: "Grandpa Li, is the emperor angry?" You also know that these medicines should be very careful in the boiling process, and they must not be sloppy at all, and the boiling time is too short and the effect of the medicine is not good, so it is delayed, and I can't be blamed for this! ”

Li Cocoon sighed and shook his head: "If the emperor is angry, I am not so worried, the problem now is that he has no intention of sleeping at all, and he is still immersed in criticism, his spirit is very good, how do you say that it goes on like this?" ”

"Huh? Wouldn't he be reluctant to drink medicine again? Last night, the tranquilizer was dropped by him, and we squatted in front of the stove for several hours before it was boiled, alas......"

"The emperor's temper has become more and more irritable recently, he doesn't eat or drink medicine, no one can persuade him, I really don't know what to do."

As they spoke, they sighed.

Their thick helplessness has spread to Feng Qing's side.

It turned out that Mu Liancheng had insomnia and refused to treat it, and he didn't know how to take care of his body at all, no wonder he got sick.

How can this man be like a child?

"Let's bring the medicine in first, maybe the emperor will be willing to drink it tonight."

Li Cocoon said, and led Sun Gonggong and the others into the inner hall.

Feng Qing was hiding outside, and he didn't know what the situation was inside, so he couldn't help but wait in a hurry.

After about a cup of tea, the palace people retreated again, and heard Li Cocoon say: "The emperor has finally drunk all the medicine, this is the first time, I hope this medicine is really useful and can let him sleep well." ”

Grandpa Sun said: "Then the emperor must be willing to put down his official duties and rest well, besides, this tranquilizer has to be taken for a long time to have an effect, Gonggong Li, you can speak in front of the emperor, and you will have to persuade the emperor more in the future." ”

"If I could persuade it, I would have persuaded it a long time ago, and the emperor couldn't even listen to the words of the fifth princess, let alone me?"

After the two sighed again, Grandpa Sun left with the palace people.

Li Cocoon went back to the dormitory, I don't know what to say to Mu Liancheng, and soon after Feng Qingfang saw him come out, the lights in the inner hall went out.

Probably Mu Liancheng had already fallen asleep, so Li Cocoon asked the rest of the palace people to retreat, leaving only a few people to keep vigil at the door, and then left himself.

When the surroundings were quiet, Feng Qingfang dared to walk out from behind the tree and walk towards the temple gate.

Chapter 246: What's Your Name?

The few palace people who were keeping vigil at the door already had a tendency to doze off, one by one drooping their heads, yawning, completely ignoring the Feng Qingfang who was walking quickly, and when they heard the footsteps and looked over, the other party had already sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder.

This is a powdered drug, which is very powerful, and if you inhale a little, you will soon pass out.

"You ......"

Before a word could be uttered, several people fell.

Feng Qingfang hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction, crossed his waist and said, "Didn't I say, just a few of you are still keeping vigil?" I don't know that the master was murdered, and it seems that I have to remind Gonggong Li to change people. ”

After clapping his hands triumphantly, he strode into the dormitory.

The hall is very quiet, only a glass lamp is still burning in the corner, the lamp is flickering, the light is very dim, and you can barely see the furnishings inside, Feng Qing held his breath, glanced at the bed, and walked over lightly.

Although Mu Liancheng drank the medicine to calm his nerves, he didn't sleep well, and he was originally an alert person, if he wasn't careful, he was afraid that he would be discovered.

Maybe because he was too excited, Feng's heart began to beat violently, his eyes had never left the bed since he came in, and all his attention was on Mu Liancheng, so that when he passed by the table, he inadvertently bumped into the round stool and made a "bang" sound.

It's over......

Feng Qingfang secretly said that it was not good, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and he quickly squatted down, and his two dark eyes stared at the movement on Mu Liancheng's side.

Fortunately, Mu Liancheng slept much deeper than usual due to the calming effect, and there was no reaction.

Seeing this, Feng Qingfang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She rubbed her sore knee and stood up and walked to the bed.

After more than a year, I finally saw this handsome face again, this face was exactly the same as the one I saw in my dream, only a little more pale and haggard.

Feng's heart twitched, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and it tingled faintly.

She didn't understand how Mu Liancheng could have done this, but she thought to herself that if she had been by his side, she would definitely not have made him sick.

If she knew this, she should have come back sooner, even if he didn't want to see her, she had to rely on him and supervise him.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingfang suddenly realized that for her, the word freedom was not the most important thing for a long time, and for more than a year, she was outside, but her heart was not there.

The heart is already trapped here in Mu Liancheng and can't get out.

But it's too late to realize this.

Feng Qing looked at Mu Liancheng's sleeping face in a daze, his eyes were gradually blurred by tears, he stretched out his hand to his sideburns, suddenly paused, and then retracted after a while.

If someone wakes her up, she's miserable......

Standing quietly by the bed for a long time, until his legs were sore, Feng Qingfang came back to his senses, forgot about the outside, and gathered his mood and prepared to leave.

The effect of the drug is only two hours, and you have to leave before the palace people outside wake up, otherwise it will be bad if you are discovered.

Moreover, it will not take long to dawn, and it will not be convenient to leave the palace at that time.

Before returning to the inn, I will go to the Tai Hospital again, listen to the tone of the Tai Doctors, see what Mu Liancheng's condition is, how to treat it, and use the power of the rivers and lakes of Luojiabao to find a good doctor.

Feng thought so wildly, and walked out with a veil on.

At this time, the sky was already white, she quickened her pace and walked out of the dormitory, and was about to leave the palace along the same road, when a team of patrolling guards rushed in and collided with her.

"Catch the assassin!"

More than a dozen people immediately surrounded Feng Qingfang, drew their knives and pointed at her, with a fierce momentum.

Feng Qingmad doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't know light skills, it's impossible to escape, and there is no other way but to obediently obey.

So, he sighed helplessly, took off his veil, and said with a kind face: "Don't get me wrong, big brothers, I'm not an assassin, I'm just a thief, there is no malice, don't do it, don't do it!" ”

"It's a woman?"

The guards all looked surprised, but they didn't let up in the slightest, still holding their knives at her, staring at her closely.

"Thief?" The guards at the head looked her up and down, their eyes full of suspicion, just this small physique, thin and weak, no matter how they looked, they didn't look like thieves who could escape the guards and sneak into the palace.

And, there's a pretty obvious problem......

"There's nothing on you."

Feng Qing glanced at his empty hands, and said with a dry laugh: "Haha, I haven't had time to do it yet, who made a few big brothers so brave and found me out so quickly?" ”

She can't stand her ass.

However, the guard did not appreciate it, waved his hand and ordered: "No matter so much, tie it up first!" ”

"I'm really just here to steal, not an assassin, don't tie me up!" Feng Qingyan was still pleading, but it didn't work, and he was still ruthlessly tied up.

"Take it down first, and then bring it to the face saint when the emperor wakes up."

Feng Qingfang chuckled in his heart.

Do you want to take it to see Mu Liancheng? Isn't this the end of the calf?

"There's no need to disturb the emperor about this little thing, right? I don't think it's better to see him, just hand me over to your commander, the emperor has all the opportunities this day, how can he have the leisure to take care of this? I said......"

"Shut up! It's rare for an assassin to talk so much nonsense. ”

The guard directly gagged her with a cloth and forcibly dragged her down.

In the end, Feng was thrown into a cold little black room, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was gagged.

Looking at the dark surroundings, her intestines turned blue.

I knew that I would run into a guard, so I should have left the palace early, alas, it was really bad luck.

After squatting on the ground in frustration for nearly two hours, the door was finally pushed open, and a bright ray of sunlight shone in, and Feng Qingfang instinctively turned his head sideways to dodge.

Before he could get used to it, he was dragged out of the small black room and headed towards the Qingji Palace.

Feng Qingfang was extremely reluctant to see Mu Liancheng, so he kept resisting, but of course, resistance still had no effect, his mouth couldn't speak, he could only make a "woo" sound, and his eyes were watery, full of pleading and grievances, looking strange and pitiful.

When the palace maids saw such a weak little girl being rudely dragged by them, they couldn't help but feel pity.

"Dare to enter the palace to assassinate, her courage is really big enough, now it's good, the emperor will definitely not spare it."

"Who says it's not, the emperor is notoriously terrible when he starts a fire, and we usually tremble with the rules, not to mention the assassination? I'm afraid that even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin. ”

A few people exchanged heads and talked very energetically.

Feng stood at the door frantically, basking in the scorching sun, expressing despair.

I don't know what Mu Liancheng's reaction will be when he sees her for a while? Could it really be like these little palace maids said, be angry with her, and punish her severely?

Suddenly, one of the palace maids said in a surprised tone, "Why do I look at this female assassin as if she is a little familiar?" Looks like you've seen it somewhere, do you think so? ”

So the other people also looked over with wide eyes.

Feng Qingfang's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid their gaze.

She has also appeared in the palace many times before, and it is not strange that someone in the palace can recognize her, but the problem is that if her identity is recognized, it will definitely cause a lot of rumors.

At this time, Li Cocoon walked out of the dormitory and said in a loud voice: "The emperor has an order, he has official business to deal with now, and he has no time to see any assassins." ”

That's great!

Feng Qingfang was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth curled.

However, what she didn't expect was that Li Cocoon's words were not finished.

"So, let her wait at the door first."

How so?

Feng's frantic eyes dimmed suddenly, and he sighed silently, it seemed that he still couldn't escape this catastrophe.

Although it was winter, the sun was not too strong, but after a long time in the sun, Feng Qingyan still felt a little dizzy, and her chest was a little uncomfortable, and the most uncomfortable thing was her bound hands and feet.

Another hour passed.

Li Cocoon finally came out again and asked the palace people to bring Feng Qingmad in.

As soon as he came in, Feng Qingfang's eyes were dark, he couldn't see anything, and his head was dizzy, almost fainting, until a low voice came from above his head: "Untie her." ”

Feng Qingyan suddenly sobered up, hurriedly lowered his head, and silently thought in his heart, don't look at me, don't look at me......

"Look up." Mu Liancheng's voice came again.

Li Cocoon saw that Feng was about to bury his head in the ground, and he didn't listen to the emperor's words at all, so he frowned unhappily and reprimanded: "The emperor told you to raise your head, didn't you hear it or what's going on?" ”

Feng Qing estimated wildly, if he didn't raise his head again, Li Cocoon would have to be strong, so he had to do it obediently.

The moment he raised his head, his eyes just met Mu Liancheng's cold gaze, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

I thought he would be quite surprised, but what I saw on the other party's face was that he was expressionless and couldn't see a trace of waves.

Feng Qingfang was confused...... Moment.

Yes, Mu Liancheng is a person who is moody, even if the sky falls, he can manage his own expression, let alone just see a woman who once ruthlessly abandoned him?

Is she taking herself too seriously?

Li Cocoon, who was on the side, was taken aback when he saw Qingfeng's arrogant face, but when he saw that Mu Liancheng did not react, he immediately covered up the shock, and nothing happened.

"What's your name?"

Mu Liancheng spoke again, but the words he said made Feng Qingmad very confused.

What's going on? Is it pretending not to know, or is it really not knowing?

"My name is ......" Feng Qing rolled his eyes wildly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "My surname is Feng, and my name is light." ”

"Who sent you to assassinate me?"

"No one sent me, I said it before, I just came into the palace to steal things, not to assassinate the emperor."
