"Let's go back." Chu Zhao said lightly, turned around and walked back.

Yi Qiu stood in place and did not move, her pretty face full of unwillingness.

She didn't understand why His Royal Highness would behave so calmly at such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The emperor has five princes, the eldest prince leads the troops outside all the year round, and the mother concubine, Mrs. Mei, heard that she has foreign blood and died a few years ago; The third prince's biological mother, Mrs. Zhen, died early, and she was also frail and sickly; The five princes play the world, are debauched and uninhibited, and they are just teenagers.

Only the Fourth Highness has the opportunity to compete with the crown prince for that position.

Yi Qiu thought to herself that although she was the eyeliner that Concubine Xian placed beside the princess, over the years, she had seen how much effort the Fourth Highness had put in behind her back, and she understood how amazing and brilliant the Fourth Highness was, and she had already had a deep love for him.

When it comes to Wen Taowuluo, the Fourth Highness is not as good as the prince, but because there is a Gu family and a queen behind the prince, it is more valued by the emperor!

As soon as she thought of this, Yi Qiu said in her heart, when she returned to the palace, she must explain this matter to Concubine Xian, the prince never made a mistake, and secretly helped the princess to go out of the city to transfer troops, this is an excellent opportunity to impeach him.

Even if this move will be punished by the Fourth Highness, she will not hesitate to do so.

If it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness noticed something tonight and squatted at the city gate, she really wouldn't have seen this scene.

Suddenly, Yi Qiu found that Chu Zhao was not waiting for him, and he had already walked away with only a vague back.

"Your Highness and other slaves—"

"Poof!"

Before Yi Qiu finished speaking, a dull pain from his heart and lungs came.

She lowered her head in disbelief, and was about to howl from the pain, thinking that they had secretly left the palace tonight, and swallowed the wail in her throat.

It was a snow-white knife that pierced through his heart—

Tan Feng held the hilt of the knife and stirred the long knife twice in her chest before pulling it out.

He took out a handkerchief and covered Yiqiu's mouth and nose.

"You...... Fourth, the fourth highness ......"

Yi Qiu grabbed Tan Feng's hand, and blood kept pouring out of the corner of her mouth.

Her eyes shrunk to the tips of pins, still stubbornly staring at the broad back that was fading away.

Fourth Highness, look back, look at the slave maid, even if you look at it...... She shouted frantically in her heart, but only a few broken characters came out of her mouth.

Tan Feng stared at her and said, "Princess Yongning is the sister of Her Royal Highness, what kind of thing are you, you actually want to calculate the princess." ”

"No...... That's not true...... His Royal Highness ...... "Everything she does is for the sake of the Fourth Highness."

Tears rolled down Yi Qiu's eyes, and she felt that the strength in her body was slowly disappearing.

Finally, Chu Zhao stopped.

He turned his head and looked at this scene, his face was so cold that there was no change, and his eyes were deeper than the night:

"Hurry up and dispose of it, go back to the palace."

Hearing this, Yi Qiu's eyes were split, and he was completely desperate.

Tan Feng let go of her hand, and she fell down with a "poof", stirring up the dust on the ground.

Until he died, Yi Qiu's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe all this.

The fourth highness she admired, killed herself because she wanted to calculate the princess.

And when the knife stabbed into her heart, she faintly felt that this might be the providence in the dark.

In those years, the princess treated her very well, she may have really done something wrong......

"Dead. The palace maid escaped from the palace without permission, violated the curfew, and was killed by gangsters. Tan Feng probed Yiqiu's snort and said.

He bent down and took off the waist card that belonged to the palace people around her waist, and took off the two valuable ornaments on her body that could represent her status.

As for tomorrow, after the defenders of the city find out, even if her identity is found out, it can only be regarded as an unjust case of murder for money.

Tan Feng's long knife wiped Yi Qiu's clothes, wiped away the remaining blood on it, and then walked respectfully in front of Chu Zhao.

From beginning to end, Chu Zhao never glanced at the corpse on the ground.

This glorious and bright Shangjing City during the day hides too much darkness at night, and his hands have long been stained with blood.

Anyone who would endanger Chu Yi deserved to die in his eyes.

He only wants her to be clean forever and do what she wants.

"Your Highness, after all, this woman was sent by her mother, and she has a bit of martial arts, let's ...... Or, the subordinate said that she tried to climb up to your highness's bed—"

Chu Zhao shook his head, and his voice was cold: "If you kill it, you will kill it, why do you need a reason." ”

"Yes."

Chu Zhao said as he walked: "Tonight, the main hall is in the dark hall as usual to review official documents, and I have never left the cabinet. ”

Tan Feng's expression was grim, and he responded: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

"Tell the concubine that you have seen Chu Yi go in the direction of the Qianyuan Palace as she played," Chu Zhao said again, "and then order our people to do their best to erase the traces of her going to Nanfu." ”

The conversation opened his mouth, but he stopped talking.

In the end, he still clenched his fists and responded: "The subordinates obey the order, and the princess will never let the mother or the Fan family notice this trip." ”

"Protect her if necessary."

Chu Zhao nodded lightly, and his voice was even lighter, like a quiet evening breeze, floating in the night.

He closed his eyes, but in front of him was Chu Yi's beautiful and moving face.

"Sister...... Amusing. ”

*

Out of the city, Chu Yi looked back.

In the darkness, the lights were still burning at the city gates, and the captain on duty was as usual.

She always felt as if someone was snooping in the shadows just now.

This time she left Beijing and crossed the southern border to Jinzhou, she left the palace in the name of going to the Qianyuan Palace to visit her grandmother, and the team she brought was selected by the Yulin Army in April.

- Why can she be easily transferred, thanks to the fact that she has been throwing money in the army these days, and in the name of Princess Yongning.

At the same time, with Father-in-law Zhang here, everything she did could be regarded as Chu Tingxiao's acquiescence, and her father chose to believe her.

has been a human being in two lives, except for the time when she was sent to Yedu as the princess of the dead country, she has not traveled so far.

It's just that thinking that Xiao Yan and Snow Wolf are locked in a cage, they can all come all the way to Yan Kingdom, and they can also return to Yongguo four years later and become the powerful minister Yu Wang, with him in front, Chu Yi feels that whether he suffers or works hard, it is nothing.

After all, some things have to be experienced by oneself, and only after walking through them can they grow up and grow.

"Go to Mucheng before dawn, and then pass through Luzhou."

Chu Yi said, riding the bridle with one hand and galloping on the horse.

"Yes!" April and Pillow Xue responded at the same time, and although Drinking Ice didn't say a word, he silently followed Chu Yi's side, almost not leaving an inch.

The dozens of Yulin soldiers who were selected by April looked at the princess and Zhuxue, glanced at each other, and suddenly became much more determined in their hearts, and followed with horses.

After a few days, the group got closer and closer to Nanfu.

Chu Yi's identity as a woman was too inconvenient, she slapped her head and simply decided to dress as a man.

"Your Highness, this is not good." Pillow Xue persuaded.

Chu Yi had already changed into men's clothes, tied up a few strands of broken hair, and hung a jade flute around his waist.

April stammered and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness is now in Dayan, a peaceful and prosperous world, are you still afraid, are you afraid of any trouble, even if there is really trouble, I, we can protect Your Highness." ”

Since he joined the Yulin Army as the main bookkeeper, he has talked a little more, so his stuttering has improved a lot.

Chu Yi waved his hand, lowered his voice, and smiled slightly: "From today onwards, call me Chu Yao, Master Chu." ”

Chu ......: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you pretend to be the Fifth Highness, do the Fifth Highnesses know?"

The corners of Zhuxue's mouth twitched, and she was helpless, so she could only cooperate with the veil, and dress extremely plainly to reduce trouble along the way.

Chu Xiaowu, who was far away in Beijing, suddenly sneezed.
