Chapter 44: The road ahead is boundless

Liu Fan took Luo Lianyi's hand and got into the carriage, Luo Lianyi's face was pale, his palms were cold, Liu Fan looked at her lovingly, and slowly passed a trace of internal force from her palm.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked her softly.

Luo Lianyi felt a warm current flowing from his palm, gradually infiltrating his whole body, which was indeed much more comfortable, and his face also had a hint of redness. "It's better." She replied softly.

"So I really want to take you into seclusion, and leave these deceitful swords forever." Liufan clenched her hand, her eyes were obsessed, and her expression revealed a faint vicissitudes.

Luo Lianyi met his gaze, his heart fluttered, and at this moment, he also had the feeling that he wanted to stay with him for a long time.

"The road ahead is boundless, can we hold our hearts?" Rufan asked faintly.

Luo Lianyi didn't speak, unknown things, she never liked to promise easily.

Seeing that she was speechless for a long time, Liufan let go of the hand holding her and sat silently, with a deep expression on his face, unable to see joy and sorrow. Luo Lianyi looked at his sculpture-like silhouette, and suddenly thought of four words: lonely world.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Outside the carriage, Xiaozhu called.

Lu Fan stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and saw Xiao Zhu and the shopkeeper scholar standing side by side in front of the carriage, but the scholar had changed into an ordinary man's dress, he was wearing a fur hat and a short jacket, and he couldn't see a little pedantic.

"Caomin Jiangfeng meets His Royal Highness the Prince." Jiang Feng slammed to the ground.

"No courtesy." Ryufan jumped out of the carriage and picked him up.

"Your Highness, this place should not stay for a long time, Jiang Feng will give him a ride, please get in the car." Jiang Feng clenched his fists and said.

"Okay." Liufan stretched out his hand, led Xiaozhu into the carriage, the three of them sat down, Jiang Feng jumped into the carriage, whipped the horse away from the inn, walked a zhang away, turned around and raised his hand to shoot a rocket, and then galloped wildly, not looking behind him, the inn was already on fire, and it turned into ashes in an instant.

In the Xiling Imperial Palace, Emperor Liu Hongjing almost fainted when he heard the news of the death of the prince, he sat down on the dragon chair, his hands trembled, his face was mighty and heroic, and he was ten years old in a blink of an eye.

"Xi'er! I'm sorry for you! He trembled and looked at the sky, his eyes widened, and tears rolled down.

"The emperor's condolences." The Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the ground one by one, and they didn't dare to come out. Master Taifu Sima had already fainted from grief and was helped down by the eunuchs to rest, and Prime Minister Yin knelt on the ground at this moment, and the grief and indignation in his eyes turned into tears, dripping on the cold bluestone floor.

"I must find out the real murderer of the prince and break his body into pieces!" Liu Hongjing slammed the dragon case and roared loudly, making Duanmu Mengzheng, the uncle of the country who was kneeling on the ground, tremble with fright.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally fell off a cliff and died, no one harmed His Royal Highness, please mourn the Emperor." Uncle Guo looked up tremblingly and said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen suspects that this is the Tanglin dog thief Qiyu, and the so-called county lord he sent must be a killer sent by him, so she took advantage of the chaos to murder the prince and died with His Royal Highness the prince." Duanmu Chun, the secretary of the military department, raised his head and said carefully.

Liu Hongjing's gaze swept over their faces, and he said coldly: "I will investigate thoroughly, you Duanmu family don't have to be so nervous." โ€

Duanmu Mengzheng and Duanmu Chun both lowered their heads, and no one dared to say anything more.

In Qingning Palace, Duanmu Yunji stood leisurely under the porch teasing a parrot, and in the distance of the verandah, Gonggong Tong came in a hurry.

"Minions, see the queen mother." Father-in-law Tong soon arrived in front of her, he swept away the dust, and knelt down to worship.

"No courtesy." Duanmu Yunji raised her hand lightly, turned around and walked into the hall, and Gonggong Tong stood up and followed behind her.

"You all go down." Duanmu Yunji waved her hand to the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows and withdrew from the hall.

"Say it." Duanmu Yunji sat down, took a sip of tea, and said slowly.

"All the people sent by Niangniang are missing, and the people sent by Uncle Guo are also missing, and the slaves feel that there is a lot of strangeness in this, and they should not be taken lightly." Father-in-law Tong returned.

Duanmu Yunji was silent with her tea, and asked for a while, "Are you sure the prince is dead?" โ€

"Sure, if you fall off the cliff, you will definitely die." Tong Gong is fair.

"See the corpse?" Duanmu Yunji asked.

"Thisโ€”not yet." Father-in-law Tong bowed his head and replied.

Duanmu Yunji glanced at him, and the teacup in his hand was heavily placed on the table. "If you don't see the corpse, do you dare to say that he is really dead?" She stood up and said angrily, changing the pleasant look she had just looked.

"The emperor has sent people down the cliff to find the corpse, the slave and the uncle of the country dare not send people to participate at this time, so they can only wait for the emperor's news, according to the emperor's father-in-law Ji, the emperor said something unfavorable to the Duanmu family in the court today, Niangniang must be cautious." Tong Gonggong said.

"What did you say?" Duanmu Yunji's eyes were full of resentment.

"The emperor said that he would break the murderer of the prince into pieces, Uncle Guo and Master Shangshu came out to speak, and the emperor said that the people of the Duanmu family should not be so nervous."

Duanmu Yunji's Liu Ye'e eyebrows tightened, she sat down, pressed her fingers on the center of her eyebrows, and Danfeng's eyes closed slightly.

"Mother." Father-in-law Tong called her carefully.

"Don't be afraid, the emperor can't get enough evidence, so he doesn't dare to use the knife against the Duanmu family easily, the key now is whether the prince is really dead, if he doesn't die, this matter will be big, and we will all work in vain." Duanmu Yunji said slowly.

"Don't worry, mother, the slave will go to find out the news." Tong Gonggong said.

"Go ahead." Duanmu Yunji waved his hand.

Gonggong Tong bent down and retreated to the door, and Duanmu Yunji asked again: "Doesn't your brother have any news?" โ€

"Nope." Tong Gonggong replied gloomily.

"He is strong in martial arts, and it is said that he will not be easily killed, and this palace does not believe that there will be more powerful people than him around the prince." Duanmu Yunji stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, she was very familiar with the people around the prince, and she eliminated them one by one, and she could not find anyone whose martial arts were higher than that of Tong Ergong.

"The minions have retired." Father-in-law Tong bent down and said.

"Let's get out." Duanmu Yunji nodded. After the child's father-in-law left, she summoned the palace maid and ordered her to dress up.

"Help the palace to go to the Ruoxi Palace." After dressing up, she stretched out her hand, and with the support of the palace maid, she went to the west of the palace where Concubine Xi used to be, Ruoxi Palace. The emperor has been in the palace for so many years, as long as he finishes dealing with government affairs, he will stay there after retiring from the court, this is a habit that the concubines in the palace know, even if he is lucky enough to spoil the concubine of the palace, he will never stay in that palace overnight, and he will definitely return to the Ruoxi Palace to rest afterwards.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The eunuch outside Ruoxi Hall saw her from a distance and had already raised his voice to report.
