Chapter 125: Meeting the Deceased
He thought that since people were in this Cloud City, there were traces to follow, and he would probably be able to find them soon if he spent some people investigating them tomorrow.
"I disturbed His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive your sins." Kang Yufei saluted again.
The prince shook his head and reached over to help her up.
"That man is not actually a thief, it is me, the person I want. It's all because my father didn't allow him to enter my house, so we met secretly. ”
The prince's hand froze there.
She unexpectedly didn't want her reputation for Zhong Yunyi's sake.
The prince felt that his heart had suddenly stopped beating, and there was a dead silence around him.
Kang Yufei felt that something was wrong with the prince, and stepped forward to call a few times, "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince." She didn't see the prince reacting, she pushed the prince's arm again, and didn't see his eyes rolling, she panicked, turned her head to look at the porter, and was about to call someone over, but the prince clamped his arm tightly.
The prince's face was gloomy, and he rolled his eyes to stare at her, like a falcon staring at a rabbit, "You, you ......"
Kang Yufei felt that her arm was getting more and more painful, and the prince was pulling her forward with force, "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
She and the prince were close, and the pounding heartbeat in his chest could be heard clearly, and it was very powerful very quickly, as if it was about to jump out, and it was so loud that it was a little frightening.
She knew that no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free, so she gave up, hung her head and hands, and stood obediently in front of the prince.
What can the prince do with her? She wants to protect Zhong Yunyi, can he be ruthless to pursue it?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this, this is ......" Marquis Kang stood at the door, looked at the stalemate of the two, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
The prince frowned tightly and did not relax, but the strength in his hand relaxed. Kang Yufei took the opportunity to escape behind Hou Ye.
"Your Highness, is something going on? Or is the little girl ignorant and annoyed His Highness? "Seeing this tense situation, Marquis Kang is not like an ordinary joke of slapstick and frolic.
The prince calmed down his state of mind, and now he was angry and annoyed, but this important matter of arresting the Qin prisoner could not be disturbed by his own anger. Thinking about it carefully, he naturally couldn't mention Zhong Yunyi's name, so as not to startle the snake, it was better to follow Yu Fei's words.
He flicked his sleeves and scolded angrily with the look he had just now, "Then I have to ask the county lord of your family, who did you have a private meeting with in the room at night?" As he spoke, he walked quickly to the gate, walked to Hou Ye's side, and said in a low voice, "County Lord, please also ask Hou Ye to discipline him well." ”
Marquis Kang looked at his daughter, and then at the back of the prince, confused.
The lamp was lit in the study of the Hou Mansion, and Hou Ye Kang pulled Kang Yutong out again and interrogated Kang Yufei overnight, but after listening to all the circumstances, Hou Ye Kang's face became more and more unsightly.
"Are you sure that the crown prince didn't find out that he was Zhong Yunyi?" Kang Yutong asked Kang Yufei.
"Not sure. He really didn't pursue it, but he did shout at the time, Zhong Yunyi. Kang Yufei replied.
Kang Yutong looked at his father, who didn't seem to be in a dilemma, he looked at Kang Yutong with a firm look, "Zhong family, I must go to see him." ”
"Daddy." Kang Yutong and Kang Yufei shouted out almost at the same time.
How difficult and dangerous it is to see this face, Marquis Kang knows, he waved his hand, "No, I can't sleep and eat." ”
The prince lay in bed, unable to sleep. Although he only has a few sides with Zhong Yunyi, he knows that he is not wrong, and this person is good, and with Kang Yufei desperately protecting him, he can't be wrong. He pondered what he had just heard, he wanted to see Marquis Kang, since he came, why didn't he go directly, he had to come to Kang Yufei's courtyard? Unless......
The prince sat up, unless, not he wanted to see, it was General Zhong who wanted to see. He couldn't help laughing, it was really his own help, and it didn't take much effort to get it. This time it's going to be all in one place.
There are two more days to the winter solstice, the day of meeting must be fast, Kang Hou Ye thought, it is better to hit the day than to weigh the day here, it is better to see it as soon as possible, and it is good for me to have this matter.
"Tomorrow?" Kang Yutong was very surprised, too hasty not to say, looking at this day, tomorrow will be a snowy day, it is really inconvenient to go out.
But Marquis Kang made up his mind, "Yutong, you arrange it, and the prince is there, let Yuche be imprisoned, no matter what method he uses, he must not let the prince go out." ”
The next morning, as soon as the day dawned, the prince got up and wandered around the courtyard at will. There is a bamboo forest in the small garden near the kitchen, and although it is not luxuriant, it is a place to stroll. What's more, there are fewer people here.
The prince threw a piece of bamboo tube on the ground, and then stepped on it a few more times and stepped it into the dirt, which was his way of delivering the news in an emergency, and when it was about midnight, someone would take it out and take it out.
The bamboo tube hinted that Yuan Xingang was keeping an eye on Marquis Kang, and also mentioned a place, Xiyuan Teahouse. For some reason, the prince was so impressed by this place that he unconsciously wrote it down and sealed it in a bamboo tube together.
After wandering for a while, the prince walked towards the main hall, and just after passing an arch, he was dragged by Kang Yuche.
Kang Yuche yawned and saluted, "Your Highness got up really early." ”
The eldest brother asked him to come and see the prince, he didn't understand what to look at, seeing that this day, it was going to snow, which fool would run out.
"It's rare for the third son to get up so early, do you have something to do?"
Kang Yuche dragged the prince into his courtyard, "What can happen, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu have not shown up these days." ”
Seeing that the prince was in the fog and didn't understand the meaning of his words, Kang Yuche closed the courtyard door, led the person into a warm room, sat down comfortably, took a sip of hot tea, and then said slowly, "In our northern border, the most difficult thing is this winter solstice, the sky is full of snow, as little as three or five days, as many as ten days, and the one under it is called dark." It snows in the winter in the capital, the snowflakes are floating, and the snowy scenery is covered in silver, which is called artistic conception and beauty. We, the snow that splits our heads and covers our faces is smashed down, and when we go out, I'm afraid that even my father and mother won't recognize you. ”
The corners of the prince's mouth twitched, "So serious?" ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, just look at how deserted the streets have been these days. Wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the snow comes, there will be no living people on the streets of the entire Cloud City. ”
"Lockdown?" The prince was surprised when he heard of it.
"That's pretty much what it means, but it's not us who seal it, it's God who seals it. By the way, the city gate will be closed for a few days, and Xueda can't see people clearly, and he is afraid that there will be young people mixed in. ”
Kang Yuche drank another cup of hot tea, for some reason, his body shook, and he still felt cold, he pulled out a little spark from the charcoal fire, "Speaking of which, the most unlucky thing is those of us who defend the city, everyone can stay at home, only us, we have to go up and take turns to freeze." ”
When the prince saw that he had lost his previous mischievous look when he said this, his eyes were full of sadness, but he didn't dare to ask in detail. Silently picked up the hot tea and drank it slowly.
