Chapter 141: The Fragrance of the Living (1)
The harsh light and cold air poured into the cave at the same time, and both Jierlan and Twilight were breathless, and it took a while for their eyes to adjust to the brightness outside. The two of them helped each other to climb out of the hole, and when they looked around, this was actually the alley near the girls' school of Yingtian Academy.
Ji Erlan dragged Twilight Leaf to the corner of the alley, rolled up her dress to look at her arrow wound, and at this time her calf was bleeding and dull. She chuckled in her heart, and sure enough, she was right, the arrow was poisonous.
Twilight said hurriedly, "Girl, can you still move?" The slave and maid carry you out of here! ”
Ji Erlan pondered for a moment and said, "Although the secret passage has been sealed, Yan Yan must know where the secret passage leads, and he will definitely bring someone to chase him here soon." The arrow wound on my body was not light, and the two of us would not be able to run far before we would be overtaken. She then whispered a few words to Twilight in her ear.
Twilight's eyes widened, her eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head and said, "No, the slave maid wants to be with the girl, even if the slave and maid die, you can't leave the girl alone!" ”
"What stupid things to say, I won't die, and you won't die." Fang Cai's action was too violent, and the poison spread quickly, and at this time her injured calf was no longer conscious. Ji Erlan hurriedly said: "The most dangerous place at this time is the safest place, Yan Yan never thought that I would go back to the secret passage." Remember the location I told you, and when the time comes, take the prince there to save me! ”
Seeing that Ji Erlan seemed to be really sure, Twilight Ye bit her lip and wiped a handful of tears, and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely bring the words to the prince!" ”
Ji Erlan nodded, and then advised: "Remember my words, this matter must be told to the prince in person, and you can't reveal half a point to others, in case of any accident, it is important to save your life." ”
Twilight bit her lower lip and secretly decided that if this couldn't be done, she would die with the girl! Thinking of this, she glanced at Ji Erlan worriedly, turned around and ran out of the alley, merging into the bustling crowd.
When Ji Erlan saw Twilight leave, she didn't dare to delay at all. Immediately turn around and return to the entrance of the cave, re-enter the secret passage, and restore the hole.
Not long after she entered, Yan Xuan stopped in the alley with a hood covering her face and a pair of centaurs. An attendant looked at the secret passage for a moment and said, "Childe, there are blood stains here, but the blood stains disappeared not far from the entrance of the cave. ”
"She ran away?" Yan Yan clenched the root, stared at the bloodstains, and said, "How can this little slut know so well about my Yan family's secret passage?!" Have you already arranged for someone to pick you up here? Could it be that entering the secret room with me before was just a plan? ”
The attendant was shocked by Sen Ran in Yan Yan's tone, and couldn't help but tremble a little, he had never seen such a son, the other party had always been as gentle as jade, and an immortal-like figure. He said cautiously: "Could it be that the king of Du is secretly investigating and is going to be unfavorable to us?" ”
Yan Yan was silent for a moment and narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the king of crossing is not good!" ”
When Yan Xuan left the mansion from the secret road, someone had already come to report that King Du had arrived at the mansion. Mrs. Yan's birthday, although ordinary people don't dare to slack off easily, but as the king of the crossing, it is just a generous gift. Although Yan Yan was surprised by King Du's intention, he was in a hurry at that time, and he wanted to tear Ji Erlan with his own hands, so he ignored it, anyway, there was a father in the family.
However, at this time, his heart was sudden.
If Ji Erlan had known about the Yan family's secret passage and had colluded with King Du, would the 'living incense' in the secret room still be hidden?! Thinking of this, Yan Yan's heart tightened, and he immediately turned the horse and ordered: "You give me a careful search nearby, if you find Ji Erlan, kill him!" ”
"Yes, Childe."
Yan Mansion, Yuexi had already changed into a squire outfit, forcibly suppressed the eagerness in his heart, and stood behind King Du with his head down, not daring to show half of his appearance.
All the guests were surprised that King Du would personally come to congratulate Mrs. Yan on her birthday, and while laughing and laughing, they also kept guessing in their hearts. After all, Yan Lingtian, the pearl of the Yan family, is also a well-deserved candidate for the princess, is it possible, this family affair is actually going to be done?
However, the head of the Yan family, the treacherous and cunning Yan Prime Minister Yan Shicheng smelled the smell of conspiracy, and the confrontation between him and the king of the Du because of the Penglai Immortal Pavilion became increasingly fierce, and the visit of the king of the king at this time must have some unknown purpose. When everyone's greetings were over, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "The prince came to our house in person, and Yan is honored." ”
King Du looked calm, as if he had really come to celebrate Mrs. Yan's birthday. He said: "Yan Xiang is the elder of my dynasty, the pillar of the country, this king has always respected him very much, so there is no need to be so polite." He looked around, didn't see Yan Yan's figure, his eyes passed on Ji Chenglin's face for a moment, and found that his expression was not different, so he knew that he hadn't noticed anything unusual. turned around and asked casually, "Why didn't you see the eldest prince of your mansion?" ”
Yan Yan did not tell Yan Shicheng the truth about the things in the stone room, first, he went out in a hurry, and secondly, he was afraid that something would be known and spread out, and Yan Lingtian was still in the stone room for treatment at this time.
Yan Shicheng heard King Du ask Yan Xuan, and he actually wondered what the hell his son was doing, but he answered very naturally on his face, and he couldn't see any clues: "The dog was tripped up by some trivial matters, and the old man asked someone to find him to see the prince." ”
King Du smiled and nodded, and then chatted with everyone.
Yan Shicheng walked into the distance and looked back, frowned and instructed the people around him: "Go and ask, why did the eldest prince go out in a hurry?" What's going on? ”
The people under him were about to nod their heads when they heard this, but they came to report: "Master, people are being targeted everywhere outside the mansion, and they are all masters." The house is also mixed with people, and it seems that they are looking for something. ”
Yan Shicheng was taken aback, and ordered with a calm face: "There are many people here, follow me to the study." ”
Outside the palace, Twilight was glad that the broken silver on her body was still there, so she jumped out of the carriage, sent the coachman, and knocked on the door.
The vermilion door opened, and when the porter saw that the other party was a girl covered with dust, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?" What to do in the palace"
On weekdays, he followed Ji Erlan to the palace with the moon breath, and never walked through the gate of the palace. It's impossible for the porter to know Twilight at all. Fortunately, Twilight saw Razor, so she said, "The little girl is a friend of Razore's guard, and now she is in trouble, so please let this big brother be accommodating." So saying, he stuffed all the money in his purse into the porter's hand.
If she opens her mouth and wants to find the prince, the other party will send her away without saying a word, and she won't even give her a chance to speak again. But although the porter did not immediately drive her away, he did not promise to help her find someone, and pushed the silver back to her, saying, "Who are you from the Lei guard?" If you can say it clearly, I will tell you something. ”
Twilight had long heard that the royal majesty of the Duwang Mansion was extremely strict, and she didn't think that even the porter would be so difficult to deal with. She was in a hurry, so she said, "I'm Guardian Lei's cousin......"
"Cousin?" The porter's brows furrowed again, and his face showed displeasure: "If you lie, please forgive me for not being able to pass through." ”
"Wait!" Twilight didn't expect this person to be so shrewd, and she didn't know the specific situation of Razor at all, she gritted her teeth, changed to an embarrassed and blushing attitude, and said, "Actually...... Actually, I'm Brother Lei's...... Sister ......"
The porter looked her up and down, not knowing whether she believed it or not. Twilight Ye hurriedly said: "This big brother, the little girl doesn't want to go into the palace to find the Lei guard, she just wants him to come out to see me, there is really something very important to say...... Please be accommodating......"
When the porter saw that she didn't want to go into the palace to find someone, but just wanted Lei Ze to come out and say something, his expression was a little relieved, and he said: "Don't hide it, Lei Guard is not in the mansion now, when he returns to the mansion, I will help you tell you that you have come, at this time, you can go back first." ”
Twilight was startled, and suddenly became anxious, and blurted out, "Isn't Lei Ze a personal guardian of the prince?" At this time, Lei Ze is not in the house, is the prince also going out? ”
When the porter's face changed drastically when he heard this, he beckoned to change four or five guards to surround Dusk Leaves: "Who are you, why do you care so much about the whereabouts of the prince!" ”
Twilight regretted that she had lost her words, but there was nothing she could do, and just as she was embarrassed, a cold female voice sounded, "What's the matter?" ”
The porter turned around when she heard the sound and said, "Miss Yue, this woman claims to be a friend of Lei Ze's guard, but she is very concerned about the whereabouts of the prince and is very suspicious. ”
Lei Yueliu frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked Twilight Leaf up and down, but Twilight Leaf was surprised at this time: "Moon girl? Sister is Lei Yue? ”
Lei Yue looked at her in surprise and said, "I am." ”
Twilight hurriedly said, "Can Lady Moon take a step to speak?" ”
Lei Yue became more and more strange, and motioned to the porter and the others to step back. Twilight walked one step away from Lei Yue and whispered, "Girl Yue, my girl is in trouble, please ask the prince for help!" ”
Lei Yue frowned: "Your girl? ”
"My girl's surname is Ji ......," Twilight Leaf's eyes were full of eagerness. said: "At this time, only the prince can save my girl, ask the girl to tell me, where is the prince now?" ”
When Lei Yue heard the word 'Ji', the snow-like figure of the girl's ice soul flashed in front of her. Then his heart was astringent, and he said, "You are Miss Ji's maidservant?" What happened to her? Where are people now? ”
Twilight paused and said, "The stakes are very high, and I can only explain the specific situation to the prince......"
"Can only say to the prince?" Lei Yue's eyes froze instantly, she didn't know what Ji Erlan was from, but she knew that the prince treated her very differently. The two often talk alone, and after each conversation, the prince seems to be in a very good mood......
The sourness of Lei Yue's heart surged out uncontrollably...... She has been with the prince for many years and is loyal, but at this time, the slaves and maids around Ji Erlan actually don't look at her like this!
What can only be said to the prince? Scold...... What can Ji Erlan say to the prince, what will it be? Lei Yue secretly sneered, slowly suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, and said, "If you can't tell the truth, why should I believe you?" ”
