Chapter 688: Heard
This night, Fengdu spent the night in blood and fire, and the palace was full of murderous atmosphere.
The news of the death of Wang Guifei suddenly came from the government and the opposition, which naturally shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but Wei Jin has always acted ruthlessly and decisively, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die.
In just a few days, Wei Jin's status was so determined.
And on this day, the news of his accession to the throne has also reached a house near the city gate.
In the courtyard, a beautiful woman in cloth walked in with a vegetable basket, and saw Ah Sheng practicing martial arts in the courtyard, while Wei Chi sat quietly at the stone table, holding a letter in his hand, I don't know who passed it to him.
I saw that he was wearing a white dress, and now that more than half of the cold winter has passed, the warmth of spring is gradually showing, and Wei Chi is not so thick.
The light texture of the clothes fluttered gently in the breeze, coupled with Wei Chi's handsome appearance and peaceful demeanor, naturally brought a bit of a fairy-like temperament.
Shang Kelan put the basket on the stone table, picked up the cup from the stone table and poured a glass of water, and looked at Wei Chi with a somewhat solemn expression: "In a few days, it will be the day when Wei Jin ascends the throne, and then the guards at the gate of the capital will be tighter, if we want to go out, and finally leave from the capital now, those people will be more vigilant at night, and during the day, it will be much easier to go out." ”
Speaking of this, Shang Kelan paused for a moment, and then said to Wei Chi with some hesitation: "Actually, I have a way, maybe I can let us out, but I'm afraid I have to wronged you." ”
In the past few days, Ah Sheng has gradually recovered under recuperation, but his injuries are too serious to move.
And Wei Chi sat in the house every day, either reading books or writing letters, and after the flying pigeons flew out, he sat at this stone table and waited for a reply.
Shang Kelan didn't know who he sent it to, and she didn't know who gave it back to him, but she didn't go to inquire about Wei Chi's affairs, but just kept thinking about ways to leave the Fengdu.
As long as you get out of the closed capital, everything will be easy to do.
After reading all the contents of the letter, Wei Chi put the letter into his arms and smiled at Shang Kelan: "No need, I have a friend who will meet us at the city gate tomorrow, and we will go directly at that time." ”
Now that the capital is under martial law, even if you have a pass, you may not be given a pass, and these people are still holding a portrait of Wei Chi at the gate of the city and are wanted by Wei Chi.
Whether you go in or out, you will be carefully inspected by those soldiers.
Seeing that Wei Chi already had an idea in his heart, Shang Kelan nodded and said no more.
At this time, the words of the two fell on Ah Sheng's ears, Ah Sheng glanced at them with some hesitation, his eyes flickered weakly, and then he quickly withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at them.
At this time, Wei Chi got up and walked towards the room, as if it was time for him to meditate.
Seeing this, Ah Sheng dared to breathe a sigh of relief and came to the table to sit down and drink water.
After practicing a set of martial arts, Ah Sheng is now a little overwhelmed and looks very tired.
Shang Kelan poured him a glass of water and looked at him helplessly: "You should tell him the truth yourself, otherwise he will definitely find out if you keep avoiding your master like this." ”
Hearing this, the apprehension on Ah Sheng's face resurfaced.
He grabbed his hair irritably, simply threw himself on the stone table, buried his face between his elbows, and said in a muffled voice: "But I promised the previous master that I would not tell this matter." ”
Regarding the previous master that Ah Sheng said, Shang Kelan guessed that it might be the queen.
However, Shang Kelan still shook his head and said to him: "These things are related to Ah Chi, if you confess all the truth to him at this time, maybe you can help Ah Chi, change a bold guess, maybe the secret you know is no longer a secret?" What if the person who is against Ah Chi already knows what Ah Chi doesn't know? Isn't this just pushing the opportunity to others? ”
As soon as these words came out, Ah Sheng's whole person was shocked, and immediately, the expression of struggle on his face became more obvious.
Although, he now regrets telling Shang Kelan that Yu Chi and Wei Jin were brothers in the secret passage.
After all, judging from Shang Kelan's character, she is not a stupid woman, nor is she as simple and easy to deceive as she seems on the outside, she is not such an easy person to fool.
When Shang Kelan spoke, she did not rush to urge Ah Sheng, but gave him time to think for himself.
Probably the tea on the table was cold, Ah Sheng let go of the hand that had been pulling his hair, got up and looked at Shang Kelan, with a serious expression: "Okay, although I promised to keep this matter secret, but what you just said is right, maybe it's not time to worry about these things, Miss Lan, do you think my master is the queen?" ”
Shang Kelan nodded, not hiding it.
Ah Sheng took a deep breath, looked at her, and explained, "Actually, I am the person sent by His Majesty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
At this point, Shang Kelan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ah Sheng with some puzzlement, as if he didn't react.
It seemed that Shang Kelan's changes had long been expected, so Ah Sheng didn't show too much embarrassment, just looked as usual, and continued to explain to her: "Actually, things were like this back then......
All the things that Ah Sheng knew were told to him by the old emperor, unlike Prime Minister Feng, Ah Sheng was still young at that time, and after his whole family was framed by traitors, it was the old emperor who saved him and helped him take revenge.
Therefore, Ah Sheng has become a dark chess piece under the old emperor, and has been placed by Wei Chi's side to protect him.
Regarding Yu Chi's life experience and the secrets hidden by the old emperor, Ah Sheng has always been tight-lipped about it.
The reason why Shang Kelan told this matter that day was only because the old emperor said that when he was dying, he must tell this secret to another person, and he must give this secret a chance to be known by Wei Chi.
If it weren't for that, Shang Kelan wouldn't have had the opportunity to ask Ah Sheng the truth about the whole thing here.
But what the two of them didn't notice was that in the courtyard, their voices gradually sounded, although very small and small, but they all fell into the ears of a white shadow behind the pillars on the long corridor.
At this time, behind the pillars.
Wei Chi's eyes flashed slightly, and he stood quietly behind the pillar, and only after Ah Sheng's words were all listened to by him did he slowly move the corners of his lips, revealing a helpless smile.
Father, is that why you've been alienating me?
I really can't afford your protection.
This kind of fatherly love is too heavy and too suffocating for him.
Wei Chi shook his head, then pushed the door open and walked into the room.
The sound of pushing the door was not loud, but it happened to reach the ears of Shang Kelan and Ah Sheng.
Neither of them is deaf, and they are wary of the movements around them at the moment.
For a while, they subconsciously looked in the direction of Yu Chi's room, but they happened to see the figure of Yu Chi entering.
Suddenly, the two looked at each other, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
