Chapter 16: The Prince's Revenge
Embers in the country
Wan'er was slowly walking towards the hall with Liyan in her arms.
I saw Liyan take the whistle and blew it, and about three or four minutes later, a secret guard suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What does Your Highness command?" The Dark Guard bowed his head and said.
Wan'er fixed her eyes on one dressed in black with a golden mask on her face; But you can also faintly see a pair of delicate eyes, revealing the ruthless nature of the heart.
Li Yan asked the secret guard coldly: "Have you found the whereabouts of the Third Highness?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, the Third Highness has never been out of the house recently, but there are half fewer secret guards around him." The Dark Guard said.
"Heh, you want to kill me; It's not that easy! I saw that Li Yangang's cold eyes suddenly became bloodshot, as if he was going to eat him every minute; It was also the first time for Wan'er to see Liyan like this, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Before he finished speaking, his wound hurt and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"I'll help you sit down first, I'll go get the medicine"; Wan'er saw that Liyan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said.
Seeing that Wan'er cared so much about herself, she said softly: "Okay, good, listen to you, you go and get it."
Seeing that Liyan's face changed faster than turning a book, Wan'er couldn't do anything about him; Shaking his head helplessly, he walked to the house to get the medicine.
Seeing Wan'er walk away from Yan, she immediately returned to her indifferent appearance and said to the secret guard: "Go and mobilize all the secret guards of the East Palace, there is something to do!" ”
"Received, my subordinates will arrange it."
It's good that you are leaving, you dare to blatantly want to assassinate me; Don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind!
Thinking of this, Liyan couldn't help frowning, at this moment he was preparing for a bloody storm.
"Come on, come on", Wan'er ran over with hot Chinese medicine.
Liyan saw her running like this for fear of burning her, so he immediately stood up and caught it; looked at Wan'er with doting eyes and said, "Next time, it's okay to let the palace maid do this kind of thing, don't be too tired; By the way, the masked man you caught last time, are you sure he's dead? ”
I don't know why Liyan asked like this, Wan'er herself knew that she promised the secret guard that she would protect him; It can only be said that he was killed and made him incognito and not appear, and this time he suddenly became nervous when he asked suddenly.
However, Wan'er immediately sorted out her emotions and said that "Yes, I was stabbed to death with a sword during the fight; Most of the immortals are also crippled. ”
In the middle of speaking, Princess Qiyang suddenly ran in.
"Brother Yan, are you better; The queen mother said that she wanted to come to see you, but I immediately refused, and I said to come and see it first. ”
Li Yan looked at Qi Yang and said helplessly: "What do you want to do, didn't you and the East Palace say that you want to go to the lake last time; You said that brother, I was so badly injured, you are a little bit and still tossed."
Qi Yang tilted his head and smiled back: "No, last time, I had no intention; I'm here to tell you about a big event."
"If you have anything good, say it quickly; Don't sell it. Wan'er saw that she was helpless and didn't speak, and immediately returned to Qiyang.
"Well, there's really nothing left; The third brother is going to have a banquet for us in two days. ”
"Feast? He didn't marry a wife, and he didn't get promoted, so what did he do when he invited him to a banquet? Liyan mocked.
"I don't know, but I told us to go anyway; Brother Yan, are you going? ”
I saw Liyan's eyes narrow, and suddenly returned to Qiyang with a sneer: "Go, why don't you go; deliberately put on a Hongmen banquet, there is no reason not to go! If I don't look for him, he's going to come to me, so don't blame me for being too desperate. ”
Wan'er didn't know what happened to Liyan and the Third Highness, so she took Qi Yang's hand and walked out.
Seeing that it was not easy to whisper at the door for two days, it was not easy to ask, so he sat down and drank the medicine himself.
"Do you say that Brother Yan has a bad relationship with His Royal Highness?" Wan'er asked Qi Yang tentatively.
Sister Wan'er, you haven't been in the palace for a few months and you still don't know!
"You stupid girl; How do I know, it's your family's business".
"Actually, it's nothing, the third brother and Brother Yan were born in one day; But Brother Yan's mother is the current queen, that is, my mother, because our Heavenly Ember Kingdom has always been inherited by the son-in-law as the crown prince. ”
"And the third brother's mother concubine was just a small concubine, so she didn't become a prince; After growing up, the third brother often troubled Brother Yan, but I don't know why this time he directly asked the secret guard to kidnap me and stabbed Brother Yan. ”
Hearing this, Wan'er probably understood, turned around and said to Qi Yang: "You don't want to go that day, I'm afraid that your third brother really wants to hurt your brother Yan; Then you won't be able to escape. ”
Qi Yang had no choice but to stay in the palace obediently.
Wan'er sighed: "Another bloody storm is about to begin." ”
The Prince's Revenge (Part II)
The next day (the day of the banquet of the three highnesses).
Wan'er and Liyan staggered all the way to the mansion of the Third Highness in the carriage, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they were shocked by this magnificent mansion; At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters: "Huailan Pavilion"
Next to the gate are two huge gatekeeper lions, one on the left and one on the left; Coupled with those fierce and big eyes, it seemed that the whole mansion had become dark and terrifying.
"We're here, let's go!" Li Yan turned to his side, holding hands and looking at Wan'er dotingly.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Highness invited you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid I'll gossip if I go; And you know who I am, I don't want to be too ostentatious; Or go yourself, and I'll be waiting for you in the carriage." Wan'er didn't want to be discovered by others after pretending to be for so long, so everything would be in vain.
Seeing that she seemed to hesitate, Liyan grabbed Wan'er's hand tightly and comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'm here; I'm not going to let them hurt you in the slightest. ”
Before Wan'er could speak, a deep voice interrupted them.
"Don't let me in public, come in early; I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”
Wan'er looked at it fixedly, isn't this the man in white who gave me medicine last time? I didn't see him again last time, he was actually the Third Highness! So why did he assassinate Liyan and help Liyan detoxify?
At this moment, 10,000 questions opened in Wan'er's heart, but there was no reason to question him.
At this time, Wan'er looked at the man in front of her, although her appearance was not as good as her words, she was also ruthless; The piercing look felt like it was about to kill someone; The sudden smile on the evil face made Wan'er feel suddenly cold and shiver.
Although he was born as a killer before, he didn't expect this person to be able to do this; There is no affection in his eyes at all, and it can be seen that he was not raised overnight; There must be something that caused him to be like this.
Suddenly, I heard the man sneering (His Royal Highness) and said: "Why haven't I seen this girl, when did the eldest brother bring it back, why don't you introduce me to my younger brother with such a beautiful lady!" ”
Li Yan saw that his younger brother was provoking him, but he didn't respond positively and only replied lightly: "I met you on a walk in the suburbs before, and it's normal for you not to know him!" ”
Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more with the smell of gunpowder, Wan'er immediately interjected and said, "Okay, now the Third Highness also knows each other; Let's go inside, it's cold outside. After speaking, he took Liyan's hand and walked to the mansion.
When you walk in, you can see the green willows hanging around, three hanging flower gatehouses, and verandahs on all sides.
And the courtyard that he is about to walk into is connected with the road, dotted with mountains and stones, and the plaque of the word "forbearance" is hung on the five hugging buildings. Wan'er looked at the plaque and thought about it for a long time, but she didn't understand what this single "forbearance" meant.
Looking at the whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious; It doesn't look like the mansion of the Third Highness at all, it is even more luxurious and luxurious than the East Palace where Liyan lives.
Wan'er walked to the backyard and looked at the shelves full of roses and treasures; A pool of water. Landscape figures, there are feather flowers, there are highlights and Bogu, or all kinds of patterns of longevity, are all famous hand carving, colorful gold inlaid treasure. I can't help but sigh that rich people can be so willful!
Lihua (Third Highness) looked at Wan'er and said mockingly as if she had never seen the world: "Girl, was your family poor before?" I naturally know that the eldest brother's East Palace is not as magnificent as my Huailan Pavilion; If you want to come, your Highness won't mind! ”
Seeing Lihua laughing at herself, Wan'er was not a good stubble, and directly sneered and blocked his words: "Since His Royal Highness the Prince's East Palace is not as magnificent as your Huailan Pavilion; But it's not as dark and terrible as you, so I don't want to stay here! ”。
Lihua was not willing to be blocked, and immediately asked: "I think you are a bit like a native of Gusu?" Where is your hometown? ”
"My parents died when I was a child, and I don't know where my hometown is. Anyway, it's been drifting like this. Seeing that Lihua suddenly asked about her identity, Wan'er immediately sorted out her emotions, answered Lihua with a gentle smile.
As she spoke, Wan'er felt a little dizzy, shook her head, and felt that she was still not awake, and was about to turn her head to call Liyan and fainted.
When I woke up again, I found that my hands and feet were tightly tied to the bed, and I couldn't move; When he was still thinking about how to escape from this place, Lihua suddenly walked in.
Lihua said lightly: "You look like a person, stay by my side; I'm not going to let you suffer. ”
"Phew, can you get face, is it what you want to get?" Wan'er shouted excitedly.
Suddenly, Lihua looked at Wan'er with vicious eyes and said fiercely: "Don't toast, don't eat and drink!" ”
Wan'er was not convinced, and immediately rolled her eyes and said: "You don't want me to be convinced, it's better to let me go immediately; Don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that I'm gone, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”
After speaking, Lihua didn't react, Wan'er knew that her trick didn't seem to be useful to him; can only tactfully continue: "Big brother, we are all adults; Kidnapping offenders, don't let me go like this, I'm definitely on your side; His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never have said it if he asked. ”
Hearing that the woman in front of her suddenly changed her tone and spoke to herself, she said that she would not break the law or not; I was also confused.
Before he could ask her, an attendant ran to Lihua's ear and said something, and immediately walked out.
Wan'er just wanted to shout Liyan, but Lihua walked back and took out a silk scarf to block Wan'er's mouth.
Wan'er wanted to scold out of the empty with 10,000 swear words in her heart, but she was stopped, so she could only secretly read in her heart: "I'll go, isn't it, big brother; I haven't shouted yet, is that? Don't kidnap if you can't afford to play!! ”
At this time, Liyan knew that Wan'er was gone, and she was looking everywhere like crazy.
"Don't look for it, I'll invite that lady to tea; It's estimated that I won't be able to go back for a while, so I'd better go back first! Lihua looked at Liyan and was so worried about her, and said to Liyan coldly.
Knowing that he was detained by Lihua, Liyan grabbed his shirt and said loudly: "If she is missing a hair, I will let you bury the entire Huailan Pavilion!! ”
Seeing that his eldest brother liked that woman, he kept saying provocatively: "What are you doing so excited, I just invited her to have a cup of tea; In two days, you will return him to your east palace. ”
There is no way to leave the words, and now she openly goes to search Huai Lange, and she is sure that her father will go to check her details; If they knew that she was the daughter of the prime minister of Gusu State, they would definitely take her hostage and attack the enemy country.
But now he didn't care so much, so he stepped forward and pulled out his sword and put it on Lihua's neck and asked, "I don't care, you let me go now; Otherwise, I'll burn your luxurious and extravagant Huailan Pavilion to ashes! ”
Lihua was not to be outdone, one turned around and took out his fan, and the two of them scuffled together; I saw him rise into the air and turn over in the air.
Wave a brilliant curtain of light; Like a little starry falling from the starry sky, the light curtain cut out the rainbow rays that shot out, and then the long sword swung, and the dazzling sword light rushed straight up.
Lihua was also like a brilliant silver dragon, easily dodging the attack; With a wave of the fan, the super internal strength made Liyan can't help but be speechless for a while; How he has become so strong now.
Knowing that the swordsmanship is fantastic, he is by no means his enemy, but seeing that he is standing uncertainly, he just shook his blade away with his internal force, and the two swords intersected.
In the end, the two of them lost both, and Liyan also knew that his internal strength could not support it if he continued to fight; The injury he encountered last time has not healed, and he must not be allowed to take the peak!
"Xiao Qi, let that girl go," Lihua, who knew that he was at a loss, said helplessly to the attendant.
Hearing this, Liyan's heart was also relaxed, and when Wan'er saw someone coming in to untie herself, she immediately understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have won all over the place, and ran to Liyan's side.
Looking at the scene, the two must have had a fight, and they were afraid that Liyan's old injury would recur, so he helped Liyan and walked out the door; From beginning to end, I haven't seen Lihua with a straight eye, and my jealous heart immediately wants to compete with Liyan to win or lose! I also secretly swore in my heart: "This woman, don't think about it if I can't get you!" ”
When he returned to the palace, he immediately whistled and called the secret guard, and when the secret guard arrived, he immediately said: "Assemble the secret guard and set fire to me and burn the Huailan Pavilion to me!" ”
"Received, my subordinates will do it."
Hearing Liyan say this, Wan'er was a little stunned, and always thought that Liyan belonged to the type of righteous gentleman, but she didn't expect to be so black-bellied!! I can't afford to provoke it.
