Chapter 53: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

It's been a few days since spring, and there is only a thin chill at night. Yi Xuan was dressed in a single coat and slightly opened the window, so that she could smell the fragrance of flowers wafting from the garden. She sat on the kang with dried flower petals and incense pills in a bamboo basket at hand, and she picked up a little and stuffed it into the freshly embroidered sachet.

The background color of light white jade, with the pattern of dragon and tiger fighting, the embroidery is not coincidental. But the taste of this sachet is particularly chic.

She fastened the bag tightly, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, smiled unconsciously, and asked Shuang'er, "Hasn't the prince come back yet?" ”

Shuang'er is teasing snowballs with woolen balls. Xueqiu is the Persian cat, because it is snow-white, Yixuan gave it such a name.

Shuang'er craned her neck and glanced out the window, "I didn't come back." ”

These days, Zhao Zhen is always pestering her, making trouble day and night...... But he went out early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet, and Yixuan feels empty in his heart.

She pounded her sons: "You go and ask, what's the situation?" ”

Shuang'er glanced at Yixuan meaningfully, Yixuan was embarrassed by her, and hugged the snowball to smooth its hair, but the snowball was restless and wanted to pounce on the sachet.

"Don't move!" Yixuan gently patted Snowball's paws.

Shuang'er came back not long after she went, looking flustered, and leaned into Yixuan's ear and said, "I just bumped into Master Fu and asked him a few words." He didn't say it explicitly, but he could guess - it was Beizhen Fuji who had an accident. ”

"What's the matter?" Yixuan tensed.

Shuang'er shook her head: "I don't know. It seems that someone wants to poison Lord Wei, so that the prince knows, and is thoroughly investigating the Fusi of Beizhen. ”

Poison...... Yi Xuan remembered that Wen Changbai had this idea, if he contacted Zhang Xu and the others, it would be easy to kill Wei Xiang without knowing it......

Finished! Something happened to my brother!

"For such a big thing, why didn't anyone send a message!" Yixuan hurriedly stood up, changed her clothes and prepared to go out.

Shuang'er followed closely, "Since the last time the princess was almost killed when she entered the palace, the prince has strengthened the inspection of the inner courtyard, and you are not allowed to disturb you. Even if they had news, they couldn't send it in. ”

Shuang'er has been in charge of the contact between Yixuan and Wen Changbai, and Fu Xuan has been strict recently, and she is not very easy to leave the house.

"That's it, it's over, let's hurry up and find Uncle Changbai." Yixuan watched Shuang'er bend down to dress her, her eyes eager. No wonder, Zhao Zhen didn't go home all day today, it turned out that he wanted to turn Beizhen Fusi upside down!

Shuang'er was also in a hurry, and before leaving, he didn't forget to bring the snowball and hand it over to Xingyun to take care of.

Yi Xuan deliberately dressed up as a maid.

If nothing else, if she leaves the palace as a princess, Fu Miao will definitely follow her. In order to hide people's eyes, he can only leave through the back door as a maid.

The carriage headed towards the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen.

Yixuan sat in the carriage, slowly calmed down her impatience and thought things through. She thought it was strange at first, why did Zhao Zhen say that he would not kill Wei Xiang, but he still refused to let people go...... It turned out that it was to lure the snake out of the hole!

Zhao Zhen didn't doubt Wei Xiang's loyalty at all, imprisoned him, and ignored him, just to make others mistakenly think that Wei Xiang was an outcast, and deliberately led them to do it. When the time comes, there will be another dozen, and all those who secretly betrayed him will be eliminated!

Yi Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his teeth. is so ruthless and vicious, and Zhao Zhen she has seen every day seems to be completely two people.

Shuang'er took her hand.

"Don't be afraid, princess, it'll be fine."

Shuang'er still doesn't know the ins and outs of this matter, but he can also guess that the poisoning is inseparable from Changbai's son. She thought that Yixuan's worries were just for Wen Changbai.

No, it's not just Wen Changbai...... If this matter is not handled well, the entire Beizhen Fusi, the entire Wen family, and herself will be implicated.

Really...... It's that she thinks too much of Zhao Zhen.

The carriage soon arrived outside the gate of the Wen family. Shuang'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the guy who opened the door understood when he saw Shuang'er, and took them to Wen Changbai's other courtyard without saying a word.

Wen Changbai didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

At this time, he was in the house to meet the subordinates of Zhang Xu, Jiang Qibai and others. Glancing at Yixuan's face outside the window, she was a little shocked, and hurriedly came out and asked her, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Shouldn't I have come when something so big happened?" Yixuan was a little angry with difficulty. She repeatedly told her not to attack Wei Xiang, but they still insisted on going their own way! In the end, I fell for Zhao Zhen's plan!

Of course, Wen Changbai could see the anger on Yixuan's face, he stretched out his hand and tried to pull her, but finally took it back.

"I shouldn't have done anything to Wei Xiang."

He was ashamed. He originally thought that Yi Xuan didn't kill Wei Xiang because he had old feelings for Wei Xiang, but he didn't expect that he had seen through Zhao Zhen's plan earlier.

"Zhang Xu, are they okay?" Yixuan didn't have time to blame Wen Changbai. She knows very well that things have happened, and no matter how much she regrets it, she can't get it back, so she can only reduce her losses as much as possible.

When she saw someone in the study, she turned and went into another room. Wen Changbai followed.

"Zhang Xu, Jiang Qibai, and Luo Pingzhao have all been arrested, and there are still a lot of your old subordinates ......" Wen Changbai felt that it was difficult to speak, these people were all in trouble because of him, and his pale face was covered with a layer of gloom, "Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, this kind of thing, as long as one is found, the rest will be difficult to hide." ”

Yi Xuan's face was cold, and he seemed to be calm, but his heart was trembling faintly, "What did King Yu find?" How much does he know about Zhao Shen? ”

"King Yu knows that there are people in Beizhen Fusi who are restless, and he also knows that these people must be related to Zhao Shen's escape, so he thinks that Zhang Xu and others kidnapped Zhao Shen, but - he doesn't know the mastermind behind it."

Beizhen Fusi came out, and his mouth has always been very strict.

"So, he's tortured to extract a confession?" Yixuan raised her eyes and looked at Wen Changbai fixedly.

“…… Be. ”

Yixuan held the armrest tightly, let go, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. She's got to figure out a way, find a way to get them out!

"Has the evidence of your dealings with Beizhen Fuji been destroyed?" Yixuan asked.

"It's all destroyed."

Yixuan nodded, calmed down a little, and asked again after a while, "How did you poison yourself?" ”

"Mix poison in the meal." Wen Changbai smiled bitterly, "Who knows that Wei Xiang carries a silver needle with him, as long as he encounters poison, the poison needle will turn black." ”

Yixuan was silent for a while, stood up, and took a few steps towards Wen Changbai, his eyes mixed with disappointment: "That day, I went to Beizhen Fusi to see Wei Xiang, and he reminded me and told you to be more restrained. ”

"What?" Wen Changbai's face stiffened.

He knew that it was Zhang Xu and Jiang Qibai who had a problem, but he didn't tell Zhao Zhen. You will not listen to what I say to you. Yixuan shook her head, her face full of disappointment, "Brother, are you avenging me, or ending your own personal grudges?" ”

Yi Xuan walked past him without looking back.

Wen Changbai was silent for a long, long time, so quiet that his limbs were cold, and he was still standing there, with a broken cold smile on his face.

He was for himself.

But why not for her?

All those who betrayed and hurt her should pay for it...... Even if she could forgive, he wouldn't allow it.

As for the side, it was himself, a little secret emotion.

Yixuan walked outside the house, tightened her clothes, and exhaled at Haoyue.

Shuang'er saw that her expression was wrong, and asked hesitantly: "Did the princess quarrel with Changbai Gongzi?" Although this matter is impulsive, it is also for your good......"

Yixuan couldn't hear any "good for her" words now, and immediately interrupted Shuang'er: "Okay, who is in the study?" ”

"It's Zhang Xu and the others' henchmen who came to discuss the method with Changbai Gongzi."

Yixuan looked at the figure in the study and ordered: "Tell them to go back, help their master watch the house, and close the door tonight." ”

Shuang'er agreed, went to the study to communicate with them, and everyone reluctantly dispersed.

They didn't believe that this girl could save their master.

But a dead horse is a live horse doctor.

When everyone left, Yixuan was ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" Wen Changbai is very sensitive, Yixuan must have gone to find Zhao Zhen when he left at this time.

"Kitajin Fuji." Yi Xuan said indifferently.

Wen Changbai grabbed Yi Xuan's hand, "No! If you go now, you will be sent to death at all! ”

Yi Xuan ran to Beizhen Fusi at night, and at such a juncture, Zhao Zhen would definitely be suspicious.

He couldn't let her take the risk!

Yixuan was a little angry: "Do you want me to ignore them?" Pretend not to know anything? Wen Changbai, how ruthless are you! ”

He was silent. Yi Xuan's questioning, he couldn't refute.

Is he selfish? Indeed, he was selfish, so selfish that he was willing to trade his own life for hers. As long as she lives, as long as she is safe, everything can be given up.

He stubbornly tugged at Yixuan's hand. Yixuan was a little angry and pushed him, "You let go!" ”

Wen Changbai's eyes were bloodshot, he suddenly became ruthless, locked her in his arms, and asked, "You say, who are you going to save!" Whose life are you at ease? Jiang Qibai? You've always valued him. Or Zhang Xu...... You say! You're so desperate, who are you going to save! ”

Yi Xuan was firmly held in Wen Changbai's arms, unable to move at all, she thought she had misheard, raised her head in disbelief, saw the anger on his face, and was stunned for a long time.

"You're crazy. Wen Changbai, you are really crazy......" Yixuan shook her head, feeling extremely tired, "Their lives, you can not care, I can't." ”

"Really? What about me, do you care? Wen Changbai lowered his head and leaned close to her face.

Yixuan frowned and ducked back.

"Hiding from what?" Wen Changbai put one hand on the back of her head, forcing her to look at him, the distance between the two was only a stone's throw away, and she could even feel each other's breathing.

Yixuan gritted her teeth: "Wen Changbai, you are really crazy!" Instead of stopping me from saving people here, let's think about whether there is any way to remedy it! ”

Yixuan glanced at Shuang'er, who looked straight at them, almost stunned.

What's going on? She really couldn't read it.

Fortunately, she came back to her senses and quickly understood what Yi Xuan meant, went around behind Wen Changbai, and slashed a hand knife on his shoulder. Wen Changbai was not in good health and fainted directly.

Yixuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

The two dragged Wen Changbai to the bed and left quickly.
