Chapter 154: Yu Zhiyan's betrayal

When Feng Huang and Arnold came out of the bookstore from the house, they were still holding a few thick books in their hands, and Arnold was nestled in Feng Huang's arms, smiling playfully and cutely.

Yu Zhiyan felt that there seemed to be something different in Feng Huang's eyes, which were still as black as ink, and they were indeed as deep as the sea.

She walked up, took the book in Feng Huang's hand, only made a few pages, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you know this child best, and you know what she will like." ”

Feng Huang was noncommittal, and only said lightly: "There are still important matters to deal with in the court, so I will go back to the palace first, and I will send someone to send you back." ”

Yu Zhiyan took Arnold, who was still reluctant, and nodded.

Feng Huang turned around to leave, but suddenly turned around and asked, "Zhiyan, are you hiding something from me?" ”

She panicked all of a sudden, and there were countless thoughts swirling in her heart, and she couldn't help but suspect that he didn't know about Gu Jue, or that he had just escaped a murder.

Yu Zhiyan still shook his head, "What can I hide from you, what do you know, tell me here." ”

"Nothing." He lowered his eyes and smiled. "It's just a casual remark.

At this time, the people on the street became more and more sparse, and gradually revealed the twilight, until Feng Huang's back disappeared in front of the tofu shop around the corner of the street.

When Feng Huang returned to the palace, there was already a faint ray of light shining on the golden unicorn at the four corners of the Jinluan Palace.

Liu Xuanwu was wiping the dust in the hall and replacing the curtain on the dragon case with a brand new one.

He was busy, and when he saw Gu Jue coming, he hurriedly led everyone to greet him with a smile, "Slaves see the emperor." ”

However, Liu Xuanwu didn't see any joy in his eyes, and when he got along with Yu Zhiyan in the past, even if his face was still cold, his eyes were still full of joy.

Feng Huang didn't pay attention to him, and even the coldness in his eyes made him so frightened that he took back the words on his lips for a moment, "Song Ya, who called the Admiral of the Nine Gates, immediately entered the palace secretly." ”

Liu Xuanwu hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and when he arranged for Song Ya to come in, it was already past the unitary time, and the lamp in the Jinluan Hall was already in charge, and Feng Huang sat quietly on the dragon chair, and the music in front of him did not move.

Song Ya is over fifty years old, his hair is already half-white, and there are faint wrinkles on his face.

He knelt on the ground of the Jinluan Palace, his forehead touching the ground, "Weichen see the emperor." ”

Feng Huang's face looked a little pale under the deep and bright palace lamp, but the coldness in his eyes could almost freeze people's hearts.

The high-ranking emperor didn't let him get up, but a cool voice came, "Lord Song is the former minister of my Qingzhou residence, and he has made a lot of contributions to following me to conquer this country. ”

Song Ya is just a puppet, how can he guess what, and said with a proud face: "Weichen didn't dare to take credit, back then, the court was in turmoil, Weichen was following you, and he was willing to scare his brains." ”

Feng Huang stood up from the dragon chair, his bony hand slowly twisting Chaozhu, "Liver and brain? I saw that Lord Song was intoxicated with the drunken gold in the capital, and now he even ignored my safety. ”

When Song Ya saw that he was charged with such a big crime, he was already frightened, and he was trembling with fright, "Weichen was wronged." ”

"Wronged?" Feng Huang's voice seemed to have a layer of frost in it, "Gu Jue is about to do whatever he wants in the capital, but Lord Song doesn't know it, I am extremely disappointed in you." ”

Lord Song's face turned pale, "Weichen really doesn't know about this, and Weichen never noticed the slightest movement of Gu Jue." ”

"That Zhegui bookstore is the hiding place of the traitors, and I almost lost my life here today." Feng Huang is not a fool, just after Arnold told the secret, he has already guessed everything.

He was also angry, and in order to protect that man, he actually injured his own daughter.

Lord Song was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Weichen will surround the study and catch all those traitors." ”

Feng Huang sneered, "I'm afraid that the building will be empty for a long time, and I have my own plans." ”

**********

Yu Zhiyan and Arnold went shopping for a long time, and they were already too tired, and after Arnold changed the medicine in his hand, he fell asleep peacefully.

But she was full of things, one worried about Gu Jue, and the other worried about what Feng Huang would notice.

Just as she was panicking, she seemed to hear a noise on the roof, and when she tried to hear it clearly, she saw a familiar figure push open the door.

Seeing Gu Jue, Yu Zhiyan was overjoyed, and she walked over, "Donglang." ”

The flame of the only lamp in the room kept beating, and even Gu Jue's face gradually became obscure.

However, Yu Zhiyan was just about to step forward, but he pushed him away.

He didn't use much force, maybe it was because Yu Zhiyan's body was too delicate, and she fell to the ground hard.

Yu Zhiyan's body didn't hurt, only the pain in her chest and scratching her lungs, which only swallowed everything about her.

No matter how annoyed he had been before, he had never touched half a hand on her.

Yu Zhiyan raised her head, she looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed at this time, "Gu Jue, I didn't expect to have today, what's the matter, just because I didn't bring Feng Huang in, are you going to kill me?" ”

Gu Jue's gloomy face was full of complexity, and his fingers pointed at her stubbornly, "Do you know, my business in the capital for many years is only afraid that it will be ruined." ”

Yu Zhiyan knew that he shouldn't say it, but he still said it from the bottom of his heart, "Why do you have to seal the phoenix's life, you are just waiting for Hao'er to take control of the government after Hao'er ascends the throne, do you still want this country to be full of blood?" ”

Gu Jue's voice was full of pain and questioning, "You protect that man like this, I'm afraid that you have already fallen in love with him, you followed me just to save your life, is it that it has always been difficult to have an old relationship?" ”

Hearing his words, Yu Zhiyan got up from the ground and slapped him in the face.

"You-" She was so annoyed that she couldn't say a word anymore.

Gu Jue was stunned by her slap, and then her face was full of hatred, "Did I say something in my heart?" I'm afraid that you will take the phoenix to grab it, and it just so happens to fulfill you. ”

"What are you talking about?" Yu Zhiyan shook his head, "I just beg you, can't An An live a lifetime, why don't you just refuse to give up?" ”

"Feng Huang and I are destined to be incompatible." The ruthlessness in Gu Jue's eyes could no longer be concealed, "I will pretend to be a caravan and leave with everyone at noon tomorrow, and we will never see each other again until I have a battle with that man." ”

Yu Zhiyan mourned in his heart, but immediately stepped forward to open his closet, and packed his things in the package one by one, "Arnold and I will follow you." ”

Gu Jue's cold hand grabbed her arm at once, and then said coldly: "You don't have to clean it up." ”

Yu Zhiyan wiped the tears on his cheeks with his other hand, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Yes, now that you have so much gold and silver, why do you care about me, I-"

His eyes were full of complexity, "I can't take you away, otherwise Feng Huang will definitely desperately track down our traces." ”

Yu Zhiyan suddenly fell to the ground, and every inch of skin on his body was constantly trembling.

She watched as her back landed on the wall, lonely as a wandering ghost, unable to find anything to cling to.

She finally muttered, "Then take care, Donglang." ”

Listening to the fragility and helplessness in her voice, Gu Jue's heart couldn't help but soften, but he couldn't say anything anymore, he only cleared his throat, "Okay." ”

At this time, there was a small footstep outside, and it was the one who came with a lantern.

When Yu Zhiyan turned back again, Gu Jue's figure had completely disappeared. It's just that there is still a gap in the window of the back room, and the cold and biting wind blows into the house, and the cold makes people shiver.

At this time, Izuku had already entered the house, and felt a little cold, so he couldn't help frowning, and then muttered, "How to have a good window."

It's on. ”

But even though she had closed the window, Yu Zhiyan still felt bitterly cold.

*******

Yu Zhiyan stayed awake almost all night, and as soon as she closed her eyes, Gu Jue's blood-red eyes stared at her coldly.

Then Feng Huang stood beside her covered in blood, asking her why she wanted to kill him. And Moshu, questioning why she killed her father.

Even Gu Jue's eyes seemed to be endlessly resentful, resentful of her for ruining his plan.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that Arnold got up, but he kept shouting that he wanted to go outside to swing, and Yu Zhiyan didn't have any energy, so he only let Xiu lead her away.

The injury on Arnold's hand has been healed, but Yu Zhiyan still doesn't have half a point of joy.

I don't know how many hours I was uncomfortable, Yu Zhiyan felt that his eyes were a little heavy, and he just wanted to look at Arnold after a while.

Who knew that she had just closed her eyes, but a rush of footsteps came.

A bad premonition arose, and she sat up from the bed suddenly, staring at the hurried Xiu with a pair of eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zhiyan almost felt that her heart almost stopped, "What about Arnold?" ”

Chuxiu fell to her knees with a thud, and said with a frightened face: "Just now, Miss Arnold had to go to the street to buy fried chestnuts, and the slave maid took her there, and as soon as she turned around, she was goneβ€”β€”"

Yu Zhenyan was horrified in his heart, and got off the bed, his bare feet on the cold ground.

"How could it be gone?" She asked, "Arno's child is very shrewd, and he will never leave with someone he doesn't know." ”

Izumi's nervous voice trembled, "The slave asked the people around her, but I only heard that she was taken away by a man, and Arnold also called that man "Dad". The slave really didn't know who it was. ”

Yu Zhiyan suddenly thought of Gu Jue, did he want to take Arnold away. Now that she is alone in this capital, only Arnold can rely on her life, is she going to be plundered?

And Arnold has been by her side since she was a child, and if she is taken away, who knows how much she will suffer in the future.

Yu Zhiyan's face turned pale, and he only said angrily to Chuxiu: "Immediately call everyone in the mansion to find Arnold." ”

When she got dressed, she hurriedly looked at the sundial in the courtyard, only the time for Gu Jue to leave the city had come, and if she didn't stop it at this time, I was afraid that Arnold would not be able to chase it back.

When she went out of the courtyard in a panic, she saw that the people in the mansion had gone to find someone, and she couldn't even find half a figure.

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly went to the back of the horse ring, led out a red-maned fierce horse, stepped on the stirrup, and then kicked the horse in the belly with all his might.

The fierce horse under her galloped away, passing through the gate and the pedestrians passing in the street.

And her horses were running around the streets, and she didn't know how much scolding they had received, and she didn't have time to pay any more attention to them.

Yu Zhiyan rode fast, and the cold wind blew past her ears, and even her sleeves were blown whirring.

By the time she reached the city gate, she was already cold, and even the hand holding the reins had been ground out with blood. Yu Zhiyan looked at the hour, yes

It's still in time.

She was anxious in her heart, and there were not many pedestrians coming and going at the city gate today, but they were all woodcutters who went out of the city to cut wood or ladies who went out of the city to offer incense.

Just when she thought she had missed Gu Jue, she saw a caravan slowly driving over on the heavy stone-paved street, and the person at the head was pretending to be Gu Jue.

The ugly appearance was exactly the same as what Yu Zhiyan had seen when she was in the bookstore, so she recognized it at a glance.

And the man seemed to recognize her, and his dark eyes seemed to have a suspicious look, and then he looked around, and there was nothing unusual, before he crossed the carriage and slowly walked towards Yu Zhiyan.

Yu Zhiyan also hurried away, she just wanted to ask him why she took Arnold away and asked him to return her daughter.

Just when the two of them were still a few feet away, a cold arrow landed in the middle of the two men.

Yu Zhiyan's footsteps stopped suddenly, and when he looked up at the city wall in astonishment, he saw that there were already ironclad guards standing above, all holding bows in their hands, ready to attack.

She understood everything at this moment, it turned out that she was still too stupid, and she was extremely stupid compared to Feng Huang.

Soon a large number of people surrounded the tea stalls by the city wall, and the caravan was surrounded to death.

The thirty or forty men in this caravan pulled out the knife hidden on their bodies, and looked at the soldiers in this circle with murderous intent on their faces.

"You betrayed me." Gu Jue's voice was full of pain, "Zhenyan, you are so ruthless." ”

Yu Zhiyan kept shaking his head, tears rolling down. "Donglang, you listen to me, I-"

And at this moment, a light voice came, "Zhiyan, you have made a contribution to helping me catch the traitor today, and I will reward you after returning to the palace." ”

Gu Jue turned his head fiercely, and his blood-red eyes stared at the emperor who was wearing a dragon robe and slowly walking over surrounded by guards.

"Feng Huang." Gu Jue hated the root of his teeth, and almost squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.

"I haven't seen each other for four years since I said goodbye to Luoyang." Feng Huang smiled faintly, "Isn't General Gu still unwilling to show his true face?" ”

Gu Jue tore off the fake beard on his face, and even most of the spots on the painting were gone.

"Take it." Feng Huang waved his hand, and then hundreds of guards rushed up.

And the people who followed Gu Jue were all iron-clad men, even if they were dead, they refused to be captured, and cut down towards the people who came up one by one.

And before their swords fell on the guard's head, cold arrows shot down from the walls and pierced their throats.

Gu Jue saw that his subordinates had fallen one by one, so he immediately picked up his knife and rushed towards Feng Huang.

That killing intent even frightened the guards around Feng Huang, but he still carried the knife up.

Yu Zhiyan was completely frightened, and the pungent smell of blood filled the tip of her nose.

She looked at Gu Jue who was carrying a knife, and then saw the tip of the cold arrow on the city wall aimed at Gu Jue, and she was about to shoot down.

Yu Zhiyan almost screamed out his name, "Donglangβ€”"

Gu Jue, who was red-eyed, stopped suddenly, and then slowly looked at Yu Zhiyan, only to see her lips move slightly, "Put the knife down." ”

At this moment, the guards had already snatched the knife from Gu Jue's hand, and his subordinates saw that Gu Jue had been captured, and they slowly threw down the weapons in their hands.

Soon Gu Jue was tied up by Wuhuada, he closed his eyes and didn't look at anyone, including Yu Zhiyan, who was already crying.

Feng Huang's bright dragon robe was still not stained with blood, and he said slowly: "Put the rebels on death row, and wait for me to fall." ”

The word "death row" was like a sharp dagger, and she knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

The blood stains on the bluestone on the ground stained her dress, and she looked at Feng Huang pleadingly, "Your Majesty, please let him go." ”

Feng Huang's eyes did not have a trace of waves, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, "Zhiyan, what you say is naturally the most important thing I care about, but this traitor is involved in too many things, and sooner or later it will cause a big disaster." ”

Yu Zhiyan knows Feng Huang too well, he is far more frightening than Gu Jue, who has an eccentric temper and kills people like numbness.

"Your Majestyβ€”" Her voice trembled, and the fear in her watery eyes was about to overflow.

"Don't worry, even if you have anything to do with this traitor, I won't implicate you and Arnold in the future." Feng Huang's voice was full of doting, and the gentle voice even believed that the guards around him believed that the two must have a great relationship.

Sure enough, when Gu Jue heard this, he opened his eyes, and those eyes stared at Feng Huang deadly, just eager to eat him alive.

Soon Gu Jue was taken away, and only Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan were left around the city wall, as well as those guards who were standing far away.

"Where's Arnold?" Yu Zhiyan slowly opened his lips, and his voice was full of coolness.

"I've been in the mansion all the time, and Izuku is watching her." Feng Huang said lightly, "You can complain about calculating you, but yesterday you didn't calculate me, if I entered the bookstore yesterday, I'm afraid that I will be in a different place now." ”

"Feng Huang, what I regret most now is sparing your life." Yu Zhiyan said a little dejectedly, "How can you spare Gu Jue's life?" ”

Feng Huang glanced at her, kneeling on the ground with such humility, "Unless he can explain where the soldiers he took away are hiding now, and the jade seal that has been passed down to the country." ”

Yu Zhiyan sneered, "If those things are gone, I'm afraid that he will completely become meat on the felt board, and you will be slaughtered." ”

"I don't have the cold-bloodedness you imagined, as long as he is willing to submit, why is it difficult to leave him alive."

*************

When she entered the palace, through the water of the moat, she faintly saw that the frames of the ministers were parked at the door of the palace.

I was afraid that those ministers had already known about Gu Jue's arrest, so they entered the palace one after another to discuss with the emperor how to deal with these things.

Yu Zhiyan stepped into the mansion, but heard Arnold's laughter like a silver bell, crisp as a yellow oriole in the mountains.

She walked along where Arnold was smiling, but saw that she was stepping on a swing, and the two ribbons tied to her hair kept fluttering in the wind.

And that Xiu was pushing the swing for her, and when she saw Yu Folding, she hurriedly stopped what she was doing.

When Arnold got off the swing, he respectfully saluted first, but there was dodge in his eyes, and he did something bad at a glance.

Yu Zhiyan wiped the fine sweat from Arnold's forehead with his sleeve, and then told Arnold to go back to the house to read.

After Arnold reluctantly left, Izuxiu seemed to feel something, and hurriedly kowtowed: "It's all what the emperor ordered the slave to do, and the slave and maid don't dare to disobey." ”

Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Yu Zhiyan had not put himself in his eyes at all, nor was he angry, and saw that there happened to be guards passing by, so he ordered everyone in the house to come over.

The news of Gu Jue's arrest has already spread widely, and it is not difficult to guess that this matter must be related to Yu Zhiyan.

Just because they had received a holy decree before, let them hide.

After everyone came, Yu Zhiyan glanced at Xiu with a nervous expression, and then smiled coldly, and the jade-like fingers pointed at her from afar, "Give her to me and kill her." ”

These people have served Yu Zhiyan for four years, and they have always seen her only promise, that is, Feng Huang treated her with such kindness, and she was never pampered and arrogant, but now she wants to kill people in public, and everyone is stopped for a while.

Seeing that the guards were unmoved, Yu Zhiyan sneered: "Do you want Mrs. Ben to do it herself?" ”

Looking at the killing intent in Yu Zhenyan's eyes, Izumi was so frightened that her soul flew away, and she trembled: "I am the emperor's person, if any of you dares to touch me, I am not afraid that the emperor will come to you to punish you one day?" ”

"I'll take care of it myself." Yu Zhiyan squeezed this sentence out from between his teeth.

After all, she was the master, and if anyone dared to disobey her words, the guards immediately brought sticks, gagged him and started a random fight.

This Xiu is also a delicate daughter's family, where can she withstand such a beating, and she will lose her breath after only a while.

Yu Zhiyan immediately instructed lightly: "Throw her body to the mass grave, and you don't even have to reward her with a broken mat." In the future, if anyone dares to calculate the master, this will be the end. ”

Several of the guards were so frightened that they could no longer utter a word.

When Yu Zhiyan returned to the house, Arnold was lying on the table obediently, and when he saw Yu Zhiyan, he smiled and said, "Auntie." ”

"A-Niang is going to enter the palace in a while, I don't know when I will be able to come back, if A-Niang can't come back-" Yu Zhiyan said here, already heartbroken.
