Soon only Lin Yingxue and Fang Mengru were left in the room.

The cold wind was blowing outside, and even though the door was closed, the whole room was still as cold as an ice cellar because there was no charcoal fire in the house.

"Tell me honestly, what is the situation in the Prince's Mansion now?" Lin Yingxue frowned and looked at the person in front of her who was obviously much thinner, and asked in a deep voice.

Fang Mengru knew that she couldn't hide it from Lin Yingxue, so she lowered her head and said, "The situation is really not optimistic......

And so it was.

Lin Yingxue took a deep breath and showed a look that was really not what she expected.

"There's anything else you haven't told me, so let's talk about it now." Lin Yingxue complained a little about Fang Mengru's concealment, so her tone became not very good.

"Hao Yingxue, didn't I also want you to worry too much, so I didn't tell you this?" Fang Mengru shook Lin Yingxue's arm, and after seeing that Lin Yingxue's face looked better, she said, "And I left you today because I have another thing I want to tell you." ”

"Say it." Lin Yingxue has always been soft-hearted towards the people around her, and Fang Mengru's attitude, she can't afford to be angry.

"That's the case, I don't know who to mention this matter with, and I can only talk to Yingxue about it now......" It seemed that he had encountered something extremely distressed, and Fang Mengru's brows were twisted into a dead knot between his eyebrows.

Lin Yingxue didn't speak anymore when she heard this, but just listened quietly to Fang Mengru on the side: "Meng ...... a few days ago The emperor suddenly found me privately and said that as long as I reconciled with the crown prince, he would accept me as a concubine, and would consider restoring the status of the elder brother......"

"What?" Lin Yingxue didn't expect that at this point, Meng Yi was still the other party's Mengru thief.

Lin Yingxue forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and then asked, "Then how did you answer?" ”

"Naturally, I won't agree." Fang Mengru's reaction was a little intense, "Brother Feng is so good to me, how can I betray Brother Feng." What I'm worried about now is whether the emperor's side will transfer his anger to Brother Feng if I refuse, and now the situation in the Prince's Mansion is difficult enough, if it ......"

If Meng Yi is more determined to deal with the Prince's Mansion, then the situation of the Prince's Mansion will really be walking on thin ice.

Looking at Fang Mengru's worried appearance, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but grasp Fang Mengru's cold hand.

"It's okay, let's not talk about how the emperor behaves, at least his affection for you is true, for your sake, he shouldn't kill the prince's mansion."

Lin Yingxue said this, and after thinking about it, she said: "You and Brother Feng will hold on to the imperial city for a while longer, and after Ah Jun and I completely control the forces in the north, we will have the capital to fight against Meng Yi, this day will not be too far away, you must hold on!" ”

"Besides, I also run some shops in the Imperial City, and I will ask someone to send the title deeds of those shops over in a while, and then explain to the shopkeepers, and when I leave the Imperial City, these shops will be handed over to you to take care of, and the profits in the shops will be used to subsidize the Prince's Mansion, and then when I come back, I will return the shops to me."

"......"

"No, if you still treat me as a friend, don't refuse." Fang Mengru was interrupted by Lin Yingxue as soon as she spoke.

Fang Mengru saw that she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept Lin Yingxue's kindness, "That's good, then I won't be hypocritical, I will accept this love, but after you and the Third Highness go to the Northland, you must be careful in everything, don't be in a hurry, my father is still there, the queen is still there, we will be fine." ”

"Hmm." Lin Yingxue replied in a low voice, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, hiding all her worries in her eyes.

The three-day deadline came in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning, the palace sent someone to keep an eye on the two palaces.

The people of Rui Wangfu and Qi Wangfu went out of the city almost at the same time, but after leaving the city, one went south and the other went north, and they went farther and farther, as if there would never be any intersection again.

Lin Yingxue looked back at the city gate behind her - the heavy city gate slowly closed, closing all love, hatred, and turmoil behind the door.

Everyone on this trip knew where they were going, and everyone's faces seemed to be covered with a faint cloud, and almost no one spoke along the way, and the sluggish atmosphere shrouded the whole team.

After an afternoon of traveling, the party arrived in a small town in the evening, and everyone stopped to eat and recuperate.

Lin Yingxue felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she took Miaoqin to the clean room of the inn, and after a while, she got into the carriage and never showed up again, as for Miaoqin, who went out with Lin Yingxue, she was nowhere to be seen.

"Let's hold on a little longer, and rest in the city ahead." He who speaks is presence.

When everyone heard this, although they were a little reluctant in their hearts, they still dragged their tired bodies and reluctantly continued to start on the road.

It wasn't until the long line turned into some black dots and gradually disappeared into the distance that two more 'men' dressed in ordinary clothes came out of the inn.

"The team has already gone far, presumably Meng Yi's people have followed here, so they should go back." Lin Yingxue turned her head to Murong Jun beside her.

Murong Jun nodded, "Meng Yi has always been cautious in doing things, although there is already some distance from the imperial city here, but the team stays here, it is hard to guarantee that Meng Yi will not think too much, now that the team has left, presumably Meng Yi's people should also go back to report the news." ”

"Well, let's hurry up and get on the road, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with tonight's good show." Lin Yingxue was anxious, and she was about to leave with Murong Jun in tow.

However, Murong Jun hesitated and said, "If you really fight for a while, promise me not to be impulsive and protect yourself." ”

Murong Jun looked at Lin Yingxue very worriedly, in fact, he didn't want Lin Yingxue to take this risk with him, but he couldn't bear Lin Yingxue's insistence, so he had to agree, but if he agreed, he didn't have a lot of worries in his heart.

"Got it, let's go." Lin Yingxue replied helplessly.

When the team left, they had secretly left behind two good horses, and after the two of them got on the horses, they hurried in the direction of the imperial city.

Although the road never stopped, it was late at night when I resisted the city gate.

"There's no movement in there, so could it be that we're mistaken?" Lin Yingxue looked into the distance, only to see that the city gate was closed, and the city was also black, if Murong Xun had already done it, it would definitely not be such a scene in the city.

"No, it won't." Murong Jun thought for a moment before replying, "Murong Xun can hide things from Meng Yi, but he can't hide from my secret guards. ”

Although Murong Xun didn't make any movement on the surface in the past two days, he had already begun to gather people in secret. Today, we can use the golden cicada's shelling technique to hide Meng Yi's people and turn back, Murong Xun can do the same. I guess it's time for them to arrive. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Murong Jun finished speaking, there seemed to be movement at the city gate.

Lin Yingxue and the two hid in the dark and looked towards the city gate with bated breath, only to see a few black shadows faintly visible in the faint moonlight.

Then a team of people and horses entered the city quickly and orderly, and Lin Yingxue roughly estimated that there were about two hundred people in this group.

"Murong Xun must still have people in the city, according to the estimation of the most people, Murong Xun can probably gather 800 to 1,000 people, but the 30,000 soldiers and horses brought back by Li Zhenlong are still nearly 10,000 in the city, and Murong Xun's hundreds of people may not be able to do anything." Lin Yingxue frowned and analyzed.

When Murong Jun heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was not obvious.

"This battle is not a small number of people, Murong Xun definitely didn't plan to use such a small number of soldiers and horses to resist Meng Yi. These people are just cannon fodder used to delay time, Murong Xun should want to assassinate Meng Yi directly, as long as Meng Yi dies, the dragons are leaderless, and no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, there is nothing to fear. ”

After Murong Jun finished speaking, he took Lin Yingxue's hand, "Let's go, we should go in too." ”

"Hmm." Lin Yingxue got up behind Murong Jun, and before she knew it, a lot of fine sweat was oozing from her palms.

Murong Jun obviously also felt the uneasiness in Lin Yingxue's heart, he quietly squeezed Lin Yingxue's hand, and the two of them walked quickly towards the city gate.

It was late at night, the city was silent, almost all the people in the city had stopped, and even the guards in the palace who were on duty at night began to nap.

"......" The occasional awake guard seemed to watch a dark shadow flash by, but before he could warn his companion, a cold blade had already slashed through his throat.

With those people in front of them opening the way, Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun sneaked into the palace almost unimpeded.

"We're just waiting here." After arriving at the door of Meng Yi's dormitory, Murong Jun and the others stopped moving forward.

Meng Yi's bedroom is close at hand, and the next thing is to see if Murong Xun can succeed. Lin Yingxue nervously grabbed Murong Jun's hand, not realizing that her green nails had been deeply embedded in Murong Jun's palm.

"Don't worry, if we don't succeed, we will have a chance in the future." Murong Jun hugged Lin Yingxue's head and gave Lin Yingxue a gentle kiss on her forehead.

And Lin Yingxue's heart had not fallen because of Murong Jun's comfort, but an untimely exclamation suddenly came from the front: "Come on, come on, there are assassins!" There are assassins! ”

"Oh no, I missed!" Lin Yingxue hurriedly looked towards the door of Meng Yi's dormitory, only to see a few black shadows retreating from the dormitory in embarrassment, and a few people came out with a few expressionless guards, and two of them Lin Yingxue also knew.

"Rusheng, Dome!" Lin Yingxue had seen the martial arts of these two people, and Meng Yi deliberately put these two people by his side, probably because he had already expected that Murong Xun would make a move tonight.

"Let's go!" Although those assassins were all wearing night clothes, through the moves, Murong Jun could already see that Murong Xun was also among them.

Murong Xun's martial arts are on par with him, and he failed to make a personal attack this time, which shows how much Meng Yi is guarding against leaks, so Murong Jun pulled Lin Yingxue and prepared to leave without thinking about it.

And although Lin Yingxue was unwilling, she also knew that now was not the time to regret, so she followed Murong Jun and quickly withdrew, and at this time, the two parties in the palace had already begun to fight.

The sound of swords clashing, screams, footsteps...... All kinds of complicated sounds blended together, and it was extremely noisy, Lin Yingxue's head was dizzy, and she could only run out firmly behind Murong Jun.

"Kill, for the great cause of King Qi, brothers, kill Meng Yi, that traitor!" When passing by a place where the two parties were fighting, Lin Yingxue thought that she had heard it wrong, but when she turned her head and saw Murong Jun, she was also surprised, and she realized that they had been dragged down this troubled water by Murong Xun unknowingly.
