Most of the soldiers of the Yao Army who went out to conquer Zhao were temporarily transferred from the border, so there were only less than 4,000 people who returned to the imperial capital, and the group of people and horses was relatively fast, and they arrived outside the imperial capital in only a few days. The first address of the mobile terminal of this mobile phone:
Knowing that Bai Qige took the initiative to take a letter of resignation, he was ready to comfort Yi Chenjing for a long time early in the morning, but what made the old general strange was that Yi Chenjing, who had always been thoughtful and self-respecting, did not show too many negative emotions, except for the night before the withdrawal of troops, he was in a very low mood, and at most he talked less at most the other time, which was no different from before.
"What did the two of them say when the prince went to see the white girl?" During the break, Sui Liang caught Fu Chu and asked.
"Did the general already know that His Highness had gone to see Sister Bai......" Fu Chu smiled awkwardly, his expression turned gloomy, "Sister Bai is very stubborn, and she knows the current situation very well, she will not come back with His Highness if she says anything, and I don't know the rest." ”
"The white girl is right, at this time, the emperor hasn't sorted out the situation yet, and now let her come back and say that it is unclear, but it will only add to the trouble."
"I just don't know when His Highness and Sister Bai will see each other again."
Looking at Fu Chu's youthful appearance, Sui Liang chuckled lowly: "There is no long-term resentment, and there is no eternal enemy. The emperor knows that the white girl is wronged, and he will definitely make the decision for her, and the suffering of the people of Zhaoguo can also be compensated, is he still afraid that the prince will not be able to coax the white girl back at that time? Don't underestimate the man you're loyal to, young man, his stubbornness...... He won't give up if he doesn't marry the white girl back. ”
Listening to even Suiliang's tone, he seemed to know Yi Chenjing very well, Fu Chu didn't say anything, and secretly prayed in his heart that things could really develop as even Suiliang said, and it was not in vain that he specially sent Ye Huawan to accompany Bai Qige.
After the real decree of Emperor Yao was issued, the expedition against Zhao became an unjust war, so this time the emperor was not as festive and lively as before, and no one came to greet him until the long queue walked to the gate of the palace. Yi Chenjing and even Suiliang wanted to go directly to the Ziyun Palace to report the military situation to Emperor Yao, and the four thousand soldiers were directly led back to the imperial capital barracks by the deputy general, and the four old generals suspected of colluding with Yi Chenxuan, whether they were deceived or not, were to be sent to the army for imprisonment first, and after the arrangements were made and scattered, only Fu Chu and Qiao Erhe, who were not very familiar with the palace, were left standing alone in front of the palace.
"I arrived in the army late, and I don't know many things, Brother Qiao will go to the East Palace with me to rest and rest for the time being, if Sister Su Yan asks about His Royal Highness, someone can explain it."
"Then, let's go to the East Palace, I haven't entered the palace yet!" Receiving Fu Chu's invitation, Qiao Erhe was very happy, excited and a little shy, "I'm from the countryside, I don't know anything about the rules and etiquette in the palace, and if I meet someone or say anything later, Master Fu will remind me more." 173”
Fu Chu chuckled: "Don't call me Lord, I serve His Highness just like Brother Qiao, and I don't have any official position, just call me by my name." After a while, you will know when you see Sister Su Yan and them, they are all kind people, how Brother Qiao usually talks and does things as usual, there is no need to be afraid. ”
Qiao Erhe was still cautious, Fu Chu had to chat with him while walking to relieve his tension, and when he was about to arrive at the East Palace, Qiao Erhe remembered that he hadn't asked who was in the East Palace, and Fu Chu had to explain to him carefully.
"In addition to His Royal Highness and Sister Bai, there is also a lady in the side room, that is, Sister Su Yan, and there is also the guard Brother Zhan, Brother Zhan's sister Li'er, and in addition to me and Senior Sister - what you have seen is Xiao Yezi who stayed with Sister Bai. Oh yes, Sister Bai still had Miss Yuche when she was there, there were only a few people in the huge East Palace, and the others were ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, and I don't remember the name and identity very clearly. ”
"Ah...... There are a lot of people, and my father and mother used to have me and my eldest brother in my family, and there were only four people in total. ”
"It's good to have a brother, I'm so envious."
Although there was a big difference in physique and stature, the two teenagers of similar age quickly became warm, Fu Chu chatted happily, and when he stepped into the East Palace, he didn't notice that the courtyard was a little quiet.
Yi Chenjing went to Ziyun Palace, Ye Huawan stayed in Zhaoguo, Su Yan was not in good health and had been recuperating, Fu Chu naturally chose to go to see the battle court first, but no one came to open the door after knocking on the door in front of the house for a long time, and the battle court didn't seem to be there.
"Xu is there something to do, and after moving into the East Palace, Brother Zhan's affairs have also increased, and he is busy all day long." Fu Chu thought for a while, and then led Qiao Erhe to the backyard and continued, "Come to Brother Zhan later, I'll take you to see Li'er first, it's time for her to change the dressing." ”
Fu Chu said that he didn't have to care, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, where would the war court go if he wasn't in the palace? Walking to the backyard with a stomach full of doubts, Fu Chu's heart sank suddenly.
Yi Chenjing is happy to be quiet, leaving only some necessary subordinates to call, it is rare to see palace maids or eunuchs walking around in the East Palace on weekdays, except for the place where Li'er lives, Yi Chenjing specially selected three palace maids who are meticulous and serious to take care of Li'er, and these three people are taking turns to guard the door during the day and are not allowed to leave, and now, Li'er can't see half a figure in front of the door.
Qiao Erhe quickly noticed that Fu Chu was wrong, followed his gaze to the room with the door closed, and his heart rose to his throat: "Fu Chu, what's wrong?" Did something happen? ”
"You wait here for me, if something is wrong, run away." Fu Chu whispered, and then hurriedly walked to Li'er's room alone.
The vermilion lacquered wooden door was just closed and there was no latch on the door, and it was pushed open with a little force, Fu Chu didn't dare to ask out loud, a pair of eyes vigilantly roamed around, tiptoeing close to the inner Li'er bedroom. Li'er has been blind for many years, and her hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people, usually when someone walks into the courtyard, she can hear the footsteps and tell who it is, every time Fu Chu comes, she will happily call him before he steps into the house, and it has never been so quiet.
Fu Chu stood in front of the inner door and swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and slammed open the door-
"Li'er!" The exclamation changed its tone and came out of Fu Chu's mouth, his eyes suddenly froze, and he quickly rushed to the room.
Li'er's small body was lying in the center of the room, the wheelchair was overturned, and there was a half-sewn embroidered handkerchief hanging on the armrest, and her originally pale cheeks were now bloodless, no matter how Fu Chu called, the eyes that couldn't see anything but were cleaner and clearer than anyone in the world just refused to open them.
In the panic, Fu Chu almost forgot that he was half a doctor, and he shouted in a panic for a long time before he remembered to touch Li'er's pulse, and was relieved to find that Li'er just passed out, but in an instant, his back was cold, and his hairs stood on end.
Behind you, someone!
"Who-" Before he could ask, a sound of breaking wind slammed into his back with a huge force, and he kicked Fu Chu into the corner of the wall, his throat was sweet, and he vomited blood on the ground.
Fu Chu, who has always been protected, has never been seriously injured, his slender arms tremble, and he couldn't support his heavy body after trying several times, he could only see a pair of feet approaching silently, followed by a gust of wind in his ears, and his chest was as painful as a lightning strike. The pain made Fu Chu's consciousness gradually blurred, but the weak young man still desperately supported and refused to pass out, and crawled towards Li'er with his residual consciousness, until he completely wrapped Li'er in his arms and used his body as a barrier to protect her, then he closed his eyes heavily.
A flute carved with strange patterns is erected high, and unlike ordinary bamboo flutes, the end of this flute has a touch of cold light, and the short, sharp snow blade exudes the cold air of the forest. For some reason, the sharp blade aimed at Fu Chu's vest did not stab decisively, and the man holding the flute seemed to be surprised by the young man's actions, and behind the half-iron mask, his deep eyebrows and eyes showed a slightly complicated expression.
Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps in the courtyard outside the house, as if someone had fled in a panic. The thick fingers helped the iron mask, the brown eyes returned to coldness, and the person who seriously injured Fu Chu left the faint couple in the house, and went straight to the figure outside the courtyard with the flute.
The huge palace wall is high and the alleys are deep, and every road is like a maze of twists and turns, Qiao Erhe panicked, as long as he saw a corner fork, he would make a choice based on his first reaction, and he didn't know where the road under his feet led.
He is not familiar with this palace, where can he go?
In short, it's good not to be caught by the people behind you, if you can, find a way to find the prince and tell him what happened in the East Palace, let the prince be careful, and keep everyone away from danger, then even if you break these legs, it's worth it.
Qiao Erhe thought wildly, and unconsciously, tears rolled out in shame again.
He knew that Fu Chu must have had an accident, and just now he clearly heard the screams of the amiable young man of the same age as himself, but he didn't have the courage to break in to find out what was going on, and he even stumbled to escape. This kind of self made Qiao Erhe feel ashamed, and he wanted to hit his head against the wall. Where did you have the courage to fight to the death with a machete with your eldest brother to protect the crown princess? Why did the self who was praised by the crown princess and thanked by the prince himself disappear?
The pace slowed down slowly, and the excessive tension made his legs weak and fell to his knees, and when Qiao Erhe sobered up and remembered that he should go to Yi Chenjing at this time, the scenery around him was already completely unfamiliar.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" The coquettish and almost bewitching voice suddenly sounded, Qiao Erhe was startled, and looked up blankly, a bright red flashed in front of his eyes, bringing a bewildering and vague fragrance.
Is it the woman in the palace? Then you must know where the prince is, right? Qiao Erhe was full of joy, wiped his tears and begged loudly: "Can you tell me where the emperor lives?" I'm going to find the prince, and I'm in a hurry—"
Before he finished speaking, the inquiry came to an abrupt end.
It was not that he was overwhelmed by the upside-down appearance of the woman in red, but Qiao Erhe inadvertently saw a pool of black and red blood and a long sword lying quietly under the woman's feet.
Qiao Erhe knew the sword, and its owner was still talking to him a few hours earlier, telling him that in a few months after the turmoil subsided, he would take him to Zhaoguo to pick up the only and most beautiful wife in his mind.
That sword belongs to Prince Da Yao, Yi Chenjing.
