Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hostages
When the dark guard broke in, Xingchen was trying to think about whether it would be feasible for her to knock Fengmian unconscious and drag her out of the house at this time......
However, seeing the still bloody wound on the dark guard's body, her fingers trembled slightly, and then she turned her head to look at Feng Mian for some reason. Feng Mian also frowned and said in a low voice, "Something's wrong?" ”
The dark guard covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand and returned the salute with the other.
"It's Guo Gongzi......"
Feng Mian waved his hand.
"Understood, you can step back and take care of the wound."
The dark guard retreated as he was told, looking quite remorseful.
After he left, Feng Mian subconsciously glanced at Xingchen, who had been sitting on the side but was silent.
Xingchen took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at him as well.
"It's unstained, isn't it?"
Feng Mian did not speak.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared in front of me."
At this moment, Xingchen was even calmer than she expected, she picked up the teacup on the side and took another sip, and then asked again: "Who is Guo Gongzi?" ”
Feng Mian's expression was a little strange, and there were more waves in his eyes when he looked at Xingchen, he reached out and tried to touch Xingchen's arm, but he didn't expect Xingchen to tremble violently and overturn the teacup.
"I ...... I didn't mean to. ”
Xingchen frowned, and reached out to pick up the broken porcelain on the ground. Feng Mian was one step ahead of her, pulled her up, and said helplessly: "Don't panic, he'll be fine." ”
This sentence was like a mantra that nailed the stars firmly to his seat, and he did not move, but he did not speak again.
Since she stopped talking, Feng Mian also shut up and sat aside, quietly waiting for her to recover.
After waiting for a while, Xingchen slowly exhaled and regained some of his senses, but his fingers were still a little trembling, and he turned to look at Feng Mian, his eyes were puzzled, and there were some ...... Confused.
Fengmian sighed.
"I know what the princess thinks, but the princess doesn't know me."
Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, barely squeezed out a smile, and then spoke: "I believe you." ”
Three words, the tone is very light, but the words are very solemn. In fact, from the very beginning, she believed in him, otherwise she would not have followed him step by step, nor would she have handed over to him the people she regarded as more important than her life.
She bowed her head and said sincerely, "But I'm ...... at the moment Still worried......"
Feng Mian didn't say anything, just walked around the room left and right, and then flicked his sleeves, and then said in a low voice: "Guo Gongzi, it's the empress's person......"
"What!"
Xingchen stood up violently, and subconsciously pulled Fengmian's sleeve, his eyes full of doubts.
Feng Mian glanced at his sleeve and continued to explain: "So you don't have to worry, the empress caught him, it's nothing more than ......" He paused: "It's just that I want to coerce you with this, so that monk, not only will there be no danger, but he will also be well protected." ”
Xingchen nodded in a trance, sat back in his chair, and tried to sort out the parts that were used again from the messy information in his head.
According to Fengmian, that Guo Gongzi is the mother emperor's person, and he robbed Buzhen to coerce himself, so ...... In other words, the mother promised her!
Groove ......
is worthy of being the mother queen, this way is ruthless enough!
Xingchen took a breath, slowly spit it out again, glanced at Feng Mian, and then remembered the expression of the mother emperor in front of the palace gate again. How many powerful people are there around her?
Feng Mian saw that she had recovered most of her life, and her demeanor also recovered, and a pair of eyes looked at the stars with a smile rather than a smile.
"Now, there are two paths in front of you."
Xingchen looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Feng Mian naturally understood, so he didn't stop, and continued: "The first one, take back the monk from Guo Gongzi's hands, but the power of the empress, you should know, no matter who can say that they can protect him 100%. ”
"Well, what about the second?" Xingchen asked.
"Second, stay still, wait until something happens to you, and then go to him." Feng Mian said, glancing up at the stars. "At least...... It can keep him from being implicated too deeply. ”
His words are clear and the meaning is quite easy to understand, but ...... That's not stained, how can Xingchen convince herself to really let go of this thing, she can't help but think, what if?
In case the unstained accidentally angered the mother queen, in case ...... I didn't succeed in case I didn't succeed...... In case she never sees her again......
As soon as she thought of this, her heart couldn't help but throb slightly, no matter what, she couldn't be as calm as Feng Mian, and she couldn't analyze the current situation as rationally as he did.
She glanced at Feng Mian, and the young man's face was as usual, as if he was not disturbed by this unexpected thing in the slightest. "Heh, you're idle."
Feng Mian smiled lightly and said in a low voice:
"Actually, I feel guilty."
"Guilty of what?"
"Failing to do what the princess entrusted to me is a failure of Fengmian."
Xingchen was very open to this and waved his hand. "I know the power of the Mother Emperor, at least in this inner city, there is nothing she wants to do but can't do, so you don't have to be like this, and I'm not an arrogant and unreasonable person."
Feng Mian thought about it carefully, got up from his seat, walked in front of Xingchen, bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Breaking my trust in the princess really makes me feel guilty, if the princess still wants to believe me, let me help you." ”
At this moment, Feng Mian is dressed in white, with long sleeves, slightly bent, and looks like a courteous person, with a light expression, but there is a bearing that makes people be impressed by it invisibly.
When Xingchen saw him like this, his heart was also moved. stepped forward to help him up, and then explained patiently: "It's not that I don't believe you, but no matter who I do, it's always bad to be implicated." ”
Feng Mian could naturally hear what she said sincerely, so she smiled politely, and then stopped mentioning it, and turned to some ...... Something he'd been wondering about.
"Princess, why do you think so highly of that monk?"
Xingchen blushed and glanced at him.
"What else?" The resentment and shyness in her words made Feng Mian very unhappy to hear it, pursed her lips, and then continued: "That princess knows that the seven emotions and six desires are joy for us ordinary people, but bitter for those who cultivate Buddhism. ”
Xingchen shook his head honestly.
"I don't know."
Wind sleep to support the forehead.
"I can't say that the princess liked the monk so much, but she knew nothing about what he loved."
"What's the problem, I like him as a person, but I don't like the books he reads?"
Feng Mian was helpless, there were too many problems during this period, but he didn't want to elaborate on them at this moment, so he said: "The problems during the period, the princess will understand in the future, and if you think there is no problem at the moment, there will be no problem." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the cup that had just been broken by the stars, and said, "Princess, rest for a while, I will find someone to clean up this place." ”
Xingchen had just followed his line of sight and saw the residue on the ground, and glanced at Feng Mian with a little embarrassment: "I'm always a little out of breath, so I make you laugh." ”
Fengmian shook his head.
"In this life, it is actually very lucky to meet someone who makes him desperate."
Xingchen pursed his lips, looked at Fengmian for a while, and then said sincerely: "You look good, you have a good personality, you are smart and clear, and your power is not small, although I don't know, it should not be small, as long as you are willing to ......"
Before she could finish her words, Feng Mian waved her hand.
"Okay, okay, I'm not obsessed with you, and you're a good guy with some ...... Inexplicable. ”
Xingchen blushed suddenly, and then saw Feng Mian's slight smile, and suddenly understood that he was tricked by him again at this time.
It's just that...... There is no position to refute, after thinking about it, I still have to say politely: "Okay, okay, what you said is right, I'll go to the side courtyard to deal with some things, the tea stains here, and I have to trouble you to find Xiao Shi to clean it up." ”
"Okay princess."
Feng Mian didn't say much, just lowered his head and watched the stars leave.
