Chapter 56: He Won't Lie to Me

"Your Highness is back."

Seeing Nangong Yan's figure, she got up and greeted her. In the eyes, there were bursts of joy.

"But what about the Crown Princess?" Lu Yin looked behind him, but he didn't see Yu Qiqi, and he didn't hear the news of her coming back in the East Palace.

"She'll be back in a few days."

Nangong Yan took her hand and led her to the hall.

"Brother Yan, this Wan Niang is a good lady, she will make food for Ying'er and tell Ying'er jokes." Xue Ying raised a small face and said with joy.

He crouched down, pinched his face, and feigned surprise and asked, "Really?" ”

"Hmm!" Xue Ying nodded vigorously.

"How I don't know, you're still telling jokes." Nangong Yan stood up, a certain official was soft, and looked at Lu Yin shallowly.

There was a shyness on Lu Yin's face, and he covered his lips and replied, "It's all some tricks to fool children, how can you show ugliness in front of Your Highness." ”

When Xue Ying heard this, she raised her head unconvinced, "Oh, it turns out that Wan Niangniang is using it to fool Ying'er." ”

Midori smiled at him and touched the back of his head, "It's like a little adult." After that, he looked at Nangong Yan, "Your Highness, it's better to leave Ying'er by the concubine's side, the concubine will raise him, and she will definitely teach him to read and learn calligraphy." ”

Nangong Yan was slightly stunned, he originally wanted to raise Xue Ying to Yu Qiqi's side, although Yu Qiqi was not stable enough, but her temperament was the easiest to get along with children, Xue Ying had to be appeased after such a big fright when she was a child.

But as soon as she heard what Lu Yin said about reading and learning characters, Yu Qiqi was not this piece of material, so she complied with her request, "Okay, just leave Ying'er by your side." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Midori leaned over to thank him, and then, perhaps because she hadn't seen him for too long, she stood on tiptoe and left a shallow kiss on his face.

Xue Ying hurriedly turned around and covered her eyes.

Nangong Yan covered the corners of her lips and hugged her into her arms.

After having dinner with them in the Changhuan Palace, he returned to the Chenghe Palace, and a secret guard jumped down from the eaves and knelt in front of him, "Returning to Your Highness, the person who has found the king of Xichu County in Yanjing City!" ”

Nangong Yan's eyes gave birth to a burst of coldness, and he said faintly, "Find a suitable time to solve them all." ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, the figure of the dark guard disappeared into the night.

The night was as cold as water, Wu Lian quietly sneaked into the palace of the king of Xichu County, and the king of Xichu County, who was already waiting for her in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, said, "The king of the county, the old marquis Lin's plan was miscalculated, Nangong Yan quietly left from Nanzhao two days ago and returned to Yanjing. ”

"Nangong Yan returned to Yanjing two days ago?!"

Immediately, the king of Xichu turned his head, and a burst of surprise flashed across his face.

"Yes! He claimed that he was sick in the Nanzhao Palace, and he closed his door for some reason, and deceived Yu Zhengyan's ears and eyes for this reason. ”

Wu Lian lowered her head, not daring to look at his expression.

"Yu Zhengyan is really stupid! With such a talent, he also wants to be the emperor of Nanzhao, which is really delusional! Mistakenly believing Yu Zhengyan made him very annoyed.

Wu pity's eyes narrowed, and he said boldly: "King Jun, we still have a chance, the maidservants of the servant have already infiltrated Yanjing City, ready to do it at any time." ”

The king of Xichu didn't speak, his vicious eyes sank, and he slowly asked her, "Don't worry, is Yu Qiqi still in Nanzhao?" ”

"Still in Nanzhao, Nangong Yan is Yanjing who returned to Yanjing alone, he left Chu Peiyu behind, and he wanted him to escort Yu Qiqi back to Yanjing." She told the news word for word.

"That's a lot easier." On the corner of the mouth of the King of Xichu, a dangerous and disgusting smile erupted.

Two days later, Yu Qiqi set off from the Nanzhao Palace, and her six elder brothers sent her outside the palace gate, "Seventh sister, if there is anything in Yanjing, you must tell your brothers, and your brothers will make decisions for you." Yu Zhengting rested his hand on her shoulder, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Brothers, don't worry, with Ah Jian by my side, she will definitely protect me well." Yu Qiqi pulled Ah Jian over, which was regarded as giving them a comfort.

Ah Jian immediately nodded vigorously, "Well, the princess is right, don't worry, princes, I will definitely protect the princess!" ”

"Okay."

Yu Zhengting nodded slightly, and the other princes also showed reluctance in their eyes, but they couldn't leave her behind, and after almost the hour, she left Nanzhao with Chu Peiyu.

In the carriage, there were a lot of pomegranates that she asked Ah Jian to pick from the tree, all of them were full, and Yu Qiqiguang looked at them, and there was a smile on his face.

Ah Jian was miserable, not only to help her climb the tree and pick pomegranates, but also to help her peel them, put the pomegranate seeds on a plate, and bring them to her for her to enjoy.

The carriage was safe all the way, and the group slowly left the boundary of Nanzhao and entered the territory of Western Chu. As soon as he entered the territory of Western Chu, there was a dangerous aura around him, and Chu Peiyu's vigilance increased a lot, and he instructed the guards accompanying him to pay close attention to the movements around him.

The guards nodded one after another, knowing that this was in the territory of Western Chu, and the terrain was dangerous, so they had to fight for twelve points.

Ah Jian also smelled this dangerous breath, and after peeling the pomegranate in his hand, he held the long sword tightly in his hand and protected it at Yu Qiqi's side.

"Is this to Xichu?" Seeing her changes, Yu Qiqi also restrained her previous playful temperament and obediently stayed by her side.

"Well, just stay by my side, princess." Ah Jian nodded, his eyes sharp, and he kept an eye on the movement outside.

But all the way through Xichu, everything was safe, and some of the guards had already let down their vigilance, feeling that there would be no more danger on this trip, only Chu Peiyu and Ah Jian did not relax.

Chu Peiyu reprimanded them, "You haven't left the Western Chu realm yet, don't let your guard down!" Their lazy appearance made him angry.

Ah Jian stayed in the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was blown up by the wind, and she saw Chu Peiyu's solemn appearance from inside, and her eyes swelled with some appreciation.

"Notes, do you like him?" I don't know when, Yu Qiqi has already come to her and stared at her carefully.

"Princess, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

Ah Jian immediately withdrew his eyes, and his face was glowing.

"You said that you have been by my side for so many years, when have you ever been in a trance, let alone look at people and see God." Yu Qiqi joked at her in a weird way.

"No, no!"

Her heart was beating fast, as if someone had discovered the secret in her heart.

"It's okay, I'll do it another day..."

"Boom!"

Before Yu Qiqi's words were finished, a loud noise came from outside, followed by a loud noise.

Ah Jian's eyes were quick, and he immediately lifted the curtain and looked outside, but it was gray outside, and he couldn't see who was coming.

The sky has slowly darkened.

"Ah Jian, take the crown princess away!"

In the smoke, Chu Peiyu quickly came to the front of their carriage and shouted at Ah Jian.

"Hmm!"

Ah Jian nodded, took the reins from the guards, and drove the carriage through the smoke array, breaking out of the encirclement.

"Curtain Master, they're running along that side!" A maidservant girl drove to Wu Lian's side and pointed in the direction where Ah Jian drove the carriage away.

Wu Lian's eyes crossed a cold light, and she immediately clenched the reins, as soon as the horse raised her hooves, she was about to attack her with a long sword, it was Chu Peiyu!

"General Chu, you are not my opponent!" A cold light appeared in her eyes, and the soft sword in her hand blocked his sharp long sword.

Chu Peiyu ignored her, the long sword in her hand was tightly approaching her, not giving her any chance to take the initiative, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips, admiring Chu Peiyu for finding her flaws, knowing that as long as she was not given the opportunity to take the initiative, he would be able to hold her back for a while.

The smile on the corner of her lips became thicker and thicker, as if she had suddenly been poisoned, and after a dozen or so moves, her soft sword tightly wrapped around his long sword, and she hooked it hard, and the long sword in his hand left his hand, stabbed to the ground, and stabbed tightly into the dust.

"General Chu, there will be a period later!"

Dancing sat on the horse, smiled at him, and rode away.

Chu Peiyu leaned over the horse, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword on the ground, and when he was about to chase after the horse, he was blocked by someone, and several maidservants surrounded him and trapped him in the sword formation.

Ah Jian drove the carriage, gradually moving away from the chaotic scene just now, when the carriage was about to drive out of the territory of Western Chu, a long sword came from behind, splitting their carriage in half, Ah Jian turned around, caught Yu Qiqi's hand, and took her on the horse, and the two sat on the same horse.

The carriage split by Wu Lian blocked her way, and she had to grit her teeth hard and chase after her horse. Ah Jian looked back from time to time, and seeing that Wu Lian was about to catch up, she put the reins in her hand into Yu Qiqi's hand, "Princess, you run away quickly, escape along this road, and you can return to Yanjing!" ”

"Notes!"

Yu Qiqi turned her head and shouted, but Ah Jian had already jumped off the horse, waved the sword in her hand and stabbed at Wu Lian, Wu Lian's body leaned back, dodging her long sword in the cold light, she turned around and stabbed at her again, and the two fought on horseback.

Wu Lian watched Yu Qiqi run farther and farther, but to no avail, Ah Jian had already tried her best to entangle her, although the sword move consumed physical strength, but it was fatal, so that she couldn't get out.

Night gradually fell, Yu Qiqi didn't know where to flee, only felt that everything behind her was getting farther and farther away from her, and she looked ahead, it was dark.

"Where do you want to run away, Seventh Princess?" Ahead, there was a sinister voice, and a man stood in front of her, wearing a hat, and she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Who are you?! I'm the crown princess of Yanjing, if you kidnap me, Nangong Yan won't let you go! ”

Ah Jian told her that if she kept running along this road, she would be able to escape back to Yanjing, and she thought that she was about to return to Yanjing, and Nangong Yan would definitely come to save her.

The man listened to her words and laughed, with a chill in his smile and mockery, "Seventh princess, don't deceive yourself, don't you know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you?" Presumably at this moment, he is lingering with his Wanniang in the East Palace, and he will still take you to heart? ”

His words stabbed Yu Qiqi's sore spot, she held the reins in her hand tightly, sat on horseback, and the night shrouded her expression, "He naturally has me in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have left Chu Peiyu behind to escort me back to Yanjing!" ”

"It's really simple, if he really cares about you, he will take you back to Yanjing with him, you have encountered such danger when you returned to Nanzhao, will he not know? How could a single Chu Peiyu resist such a danger? ”

His words, word by word, hit Yu Qiqi's heart, making her feel a little pain in her heart, as if a needle was piercing.

When they returned to Nanzhao, Nangong Yan left alone for a while, and he didn't say anything after he came back. This time, he will Yanjing, saying that he is going back to deal with the affairs of the court, so he did not disclose it to her, but who knows, what is his real purpose?

At the beginning, he had said that he would abolish her, if she was in distress on the way back to Yanjing, wouldn't it be his will, so that he could stay with Lu Yin and the two for the rest of his life!

Yu Qiqi's heart swelled with panic, the horses were spinning back and forth in place, she lowered her head and whispered, "No, no, he won't lie to me..."

He also said that if she helped him this time, he would grant her a wish.

"Does the Seventh Princess still think that he will put his mind on you, what kind of suffering in the East Palace, you know in your heart, don't you? Even if Midori betrays him again and again, he can forgive her, but you, he will never take you to heart. ”

The man slowly approached her, "Moreover, I have heard for a long time that the secret guards he raised have always been extraordinary, and they can defeat any elite bandits, if he really cares about you, why don't he send them to escort you, and now you are in danger, what about those of his secret guards?" ”

There were tears that slid down Yu Qiqi's cheeks, making her feel a chill in her body, and her face was also cold.

"Go back with this king, this king will make him regret it." The man raised his head, revealing a face like a crown of jade, and held out his hand to her.

His sentence 'This king will make him regret it', as if with magic power, made Yu Qiqi sit on horseback and keep sobbing.

"The King of the County!"

Behind the two of them, Wu Lian had already caught up, in her hand, dragging the injured A Jian, on the back of her neck, a blood stain oozed out, Yu Qiqi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, ran towards her, and called softly: "A Jian, A Jian..."

Ah Jian opened his eyes in a daze, saw that Yu Qiqi was safe, and showed a smile at her, "Princess, I'm fine..."

"Look, only who is sincere to you, do you see?" The King of Xichu County stood beside her, and his words were cool.

Yu Qiqi held Ah Jian tightly, Chu Peiyu's skills were not bad, and now he didn't deal with Wu Lian, how could he not break through the encirclement for so long and catch up with her, and where are those secret guards of Nangong Yan? !

Nangong Yan doesn't care about her life at all, she doesn't care at all!

She bit her lip tightly, her body trembled slightly, and she helped Ah Jian to reply, "Okay, I'll go with you!" ”

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the King of Xichu County, "This is the decision that a smart person should make." Then, the figures of the four disappeared from the dense forest.

When Chu Peiyu caught up, Yu Qiqi was gone.

The sword formation just now made him seriously injured, and there was still blood on his chest at the moment, and it took a lot of time to catch up, but it seemed to be too late.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something has happened!"

In the night, Chu Peiyu didn't care about the injury on his chest and rushed back to the East Palace, Nangong Yan was still looking at the excerpt that dealt with the punishment of the old marquis Lin and pedestrians, he smelled the smell of blood on Chu Peiyu's body, "What about the crown princess?" As soon as he looked up, he asked Yu Qiqi for news.

"When we were about to leave the territory of Xichu, we were ambushed, the crown princess, and the crown princess was kidnapped!" Chu Peiyu knelt in front of him, panting.

Nangong Yan's face immediately darkened, and he asked coldly, "Did it happen to the king of Xichu County?" ”

"The ambush was set up by the woman Wu Lian last time, and this matter must have been done by the king of Xichu County!" Chu Peiyu endured the pain in his chest and kept kneeling.

"Damn it!"

Nangong Yan gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, he didn't promise him what he did last time, this time he will definitely use Yu Qiqi to blackmail him!

In the end, Chu Peiyu retreated first to recuperate, and Nangong Yan sat on the bench, his well-defined face was gloomy and gloomy, and his body exuded bursts of terrifying aura.

Lu Yin walked in from outside the hall, and before she came in, she saw Chu Peiyu's figure holding her chest and withdrawing, as if she was seriously injured.

She walked in front of Nangong Yan, and the shadowy figure caught his eyes, and it didn't let the chill emanating from his body fade by half a minute.

Lu Yin could tell that he was not in a very good mood, and his face was gloomy and terrifying, "Could it be that something happened to the crown princess?" She asked cautiously.

After that, the ginseng tea in his hand was placed on the table.

"Hmm." Nangong Yan's thin lips opened lightly, and her mind was not on her at all.

Hearing this, Lu Yin opened the topic and quipped: "Fang Cai, that kid Ying'er is still clamoring for His Highness to go over and test his poems, but I never thought about it, and I fell asleep in a blink of an eye." ”

"That kid still likes you."

In the past few days that Xue Ying has been by her side, she has gotten along very well with her, and the two are like biological mother and son.

"His Royal Highness is willing to put him next to the concubine to raise, which can be regarded as adding a child to the concubine, and the concubine is very grateful."

Her eyes lit up a little. She turned around and handed the ginseng soup to Nangong Yan, "Your Highness, the crown princess will definitely be safe, you must not be tired." ”

Nangong Yan took the ginseng soup from her hand and urged her, "You go back and rest first." At the moment he was depressed and did not want to be disturbed.

"Okay."

Midori glanced at him, then retreated. The bowl of ginseng soup she brought over has been put on hold by him.

There was a secret guard, who came out of the shadows and bowed his head at him, "Your Highness." ”

"Take a trip to Xichu to see how the crown princess is doing." He had never used these secret guards on Yu Qiqi, this was the first time.

"Yes!"

The Dark Guard hurriedly retreated.

Nangong Yan rubbed his eyebrows, and his heart was filled with boredom and anxiety.

Since that day after seeing Song Gaoeun's appearance in the prison, Concubine Yi returned to the Liangxi Palace, and had nightmares every night, as if Song Gaoeun's hideous face was standing in front of her, wanting to ask her for her life, and she woke up in fright every night.

Tonight, too.

It's just that there was one more person next to her bedside tonight, looking at the black shadow, she asked in a cold voice, "You, who are you?!" ”

"Yi'er, I didn't expect you to be like this in the palace." The voice of the black shadow in front of her was hoarse, and she slowly turned around, it was Wu Pian.

Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock, "Master? ...”

"You don't seem to be able to use all the things Master taught you." Seeing her crazy appearance, Wu Lian's words were full of loss.

"No, it's not like this, Yi'er listened to the master's words and kept everything the master taught in mind, it's just that my Qing'er is still alive, for him, I can't do everything too much, he will hate me..."

"All the hard work of your life has been spent on this child." Wu Lian looked at her, the darkness covered her face, so that Concubine Yi couldn't see her expression, but there was distress in her words, which she could hear.

The master, who has always been strict with her, would show his affection for her, which made her feel slightly surprised.

"I'm willing to do it for him, Master." She climbed out of bed and reached out to grab her wrist, gripping it tightly, her body shaking.

Wu Lian's eyes were sick, and her hoarse voice was trembling, "But do you know that your father, the king of Xichu County, wanted his life." ”

Suddenly, Concubine Yi's eyes widened and she stared at her in disbelief, "What? Father, how could he? Yan Shiqing did not hinder him from accomplishing his great cause.

Wu Lian closed her eyes for a moment, and opened them again, "Because of you." ”

"But my father asked me to do everything, and I did not go against his will—" Two lines of tears slipped down her eyes, drenching into her thin shirt.

"Don't you know what your father is like?" Rarely, Wu Lian reached out and stroked her slightly trembling back.

"Master, you plead with my father for me, I will do whatever he tells me in the future, and I will never go against his will, as long as he is willing to let Qing'er go!"

Concubine Yi grabbed her wrist tightly, crying and pleading.

Wu Lian sighed, and the hand that caressed her back became heavier.

When Yu Qiqi woke up, she saw the man who was talking to her in the dense forest that night, she stroked her forehead and asked him, "Where is this?" ”

"The Royal Mansion of Xichu County."

The king of Xichu replied to her with a smile.

He had a loving smile and gentle eyes, just like her father, but his face looked much younger than her father's, handsome and a little calm.

"Still uncomfortable?" His long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed to her heart.

Yu Qiqi's little face fell, and her heart swelled with a burst of sourness, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and her brain was also a little painful, "It's okay." She replied with pain.

The king of Xichu only showed a shallow smile and handed over a bowl of decoction, "You drink this first, it is to calm your nerves and remove dryness." He seemed to read her thoughts, but he didn't say anything.

Yu Qiqi looked at the decoction in his hand and frowned, she was afraid of bitterness.

"When you drink this, it won't be bitter." In his hand, he held a piece of rock candy.

Yu Qiqi blinked and took the decoction from him.
