The carriage swayed lightly, swaying forward, and Feige's low inquiry voice came from outside the carriage: "General Qi, did you find anything in those words you asked Mo Ling today?" ”

Shangguan Jiyue heard this, reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, tried her best to make her voice sound normal, and said slowly: "Mo Ling is from Huaiyang, which seems to be too much of a coincidence. ”

Hearing this, Feige lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "You mean that the exposure of your identity is the handiwork of the crown prince?" ”

Shangguan Jiyue's eyes narrowed slightly: "Yesterday in the main hall, the emperor once said a sentence that made me feel that something was not right at that time. ”

"What?"

"Yesterday, the prince suddenly appeared to intercede for me, the emperor was obviously surprised, he said, 'Whoever comes to intercede for Qi Yu, the prince will not come, but the prince came'." Shangguan Jiyue carefully recalled the tone and expression of the emperor when he said this sentence in the main hall yesterday, and said, "Thinking about it now, I really feel very suspicious. In addition, Mo Ling is from Huaiyang, I have been wondering if he undoubtedly saw me and your Royal Highness in Huaiyang, so he told the prince about it. The prince then followed the vine and found out that I was a woman, and then stabbed the emperor. ”

Feige, who was driving, frowned slightly: "If this matter is really related to the prince, why did he do it?" And why would they go to the top of the hall to intercede for you? ”

Shangguan Jiyue frowned and pondered, what Feige said was not unreasonable, but why did he do this? What's in it for him?

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, raised her eyes suddenly, and said very quickly: "Maybe it's not me at all that he wants to deal with!" It's Huang Fuchen! ”

Feige's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but clench the horsewhip in his hand: "Your Highness?!" ”

"As you said, the crown prince and your royal highness are not on good terms because of the queen's mother, this time the emperor Fuchen returned to Beijing to thank the king, and there was even a conflict in Fengqi Palace, which should be his motive. As for what benefits...... He has become the crown prince, or maybe his purpose is just to embarrass your Royal Highness, make the emperor completely disappointed in your Royal Highness, and at the same time help the Night Queen to vent a bad breath. Perhaps the current situation was also something he did not expect, as for why he suddenly interceded for me......"

When Shangguan Jiyue said this, her body suddenly shook, she suddenly lifted the curtain, leaned out half of her body, and shouted: "Feige stop!" You go home first, don't wait for me! ”

Feige was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stopped the carriage, and just wanted to turn around and ask Shangguan Jiyue what was wrong, but found that there was still half a figure in the carriage?

When I turned around and looked up, I saw a white corner of my clothes, flashing on the roof across the street, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Feige's eyes flashed slightly, looked at the empty roof, looked back at the still shaking car curtain, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, finally clenched the horsewhip in his hand, and drove towards the direction of King Chen's mansion.

Prince's Mansion.

Inside the East Wing.

Shangguan Jiyang leaned on the bed, took the medicine bowl handed by a maid in green clothes, did not blink his eyes, raised his head and drank most of the black medicine in one go, and returned it.

The green-clothed maid took the medicine bowl, put it in the red lacquer tray in her hand, bowed respectfully, and said, "The son has a good rest, and the slave and maid have retired." ”

"Go down, don't come in if there's nothing to do, I want to sleep for a while." A hoarse voice spat out from the bloodless lips, soft and indifferent.

The green-clothed maid retreated as she was told, and when she was leaving, she closed the door with her, and the footsteps in the corridor outside the door grew from near to far until she gradually became inaudible.

Shangguan Jiyang didn't really lie down to rest, but struggled to prop up his arms, moved up again, and sat on the bed again.

He was silent for a moment, sighed faintly, and said softly to the empty room: "Come out, everyone is gone." ”

"You already knew I was here?" The brocade curtain behind the exquisitely carved mahogany Liuhe screen shook, and Shangguan Jiyue appeared, her sharp eyes fixed on the black mask, and she looked at it carefully.

Shangguan Jiyang didn't answer her words, he lightly hooked the corners of his pale lips, and a pair of eyes under the black mask were calm like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves, looking at Shangguan Jiyue and asking, "Miss Shangguan went and returned, I don't know what happened?" ”

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already say it? I am a guest at his house. ”

"To be a distinguished guest of the Beicang Prince's Mansion, Your Excellency really makes Qi Yu look at him!"

"Although the crown prince has a noble status, does anyone stipulate that the prince of a country cannot have one or two like-minded friends?"

The man's tone was calm and indifferent, and he couldn't hear any emotion. But Shangguan Jiyue felt that the more indifferent she was, the deeper the truth she wanted to know. Just like the unsightly mask on his face in front of him, as long as she took it off, she didn't have to worry about guessing.

The man seemed to be aware of Shangguan Jiyue's thoughts, looked at her slowly approaching figure, and said lightly: "Although Miss Shangguan can give it a try, although I am now sick on the couch, I am also enough to protect myself." ”

His tone was full, but it deterred Shangguan Jiyue. She had fought with him when he was in the kingdom of Liu, and knew that his cultivation was above herself, and since he said so, it must be true.

Seeing that Shangguan Jiyue was deterred, Shangguan Jiyang secretly exhaled in his heart, and his face was still calm. Third sister, at this moment, let alone a showdown with you, even if it is a ten-year-old child, he can easily subdue me.

"Sit down, the visitor is a guest, there is hot tea on the table, I won't pour tea for Miss Shangguan personally." The man's tone was still light.

Shangguan Jiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at him for a long time, Fang retracted her gaze, turned around and sat down at the round table in the middle of the house, but did not pour tea for herself.

Her eyes drooped slightly, and she said slowly: "I came here today to ask you, did the prince suddenly appear in the court yesterday to intercede for me, is it related to you?" ”

Shangguan Jiyang rolled his eyes slightly: "Miss Shangguan, why do you ask this?" ”

"Isn't it? And the prince had already admitted yesterday that someone had asked him to come to intercede for me, and today I met your Excellency in the prince's mansion, which is too much of a coincidence, right? ”

The man smiled: "So what? Isn't it? ”

Shangguan Jiyue was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to admit it ambiguously. She immediately hooked her lips and smiled, and said: "No, I'm afraid that Your Excellency overestimated the prince, and the trust is not a person, didn't the prince return home yesterday and tell you that he didn't help at all?" ”

Hearing this, the man lowered his eyes for a moment, and sighed softly: "Didn't Miss Shangguan discover that since the crown prince appeared on the top of the main hall and opened his mouth to intercede for you, those ministers who were about to let you be severely punished suddenly dropped in arrogance, and they were no longer so intense?" ”

Shangguan Jiyue twisted her eyebrows, carefully thinking about what happened after the prince appeared yesterday, and the situation was really as the man in front of her said, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the man on the bed.
