Chapter 253: A Promise of Life and Death
Presumably because his mind was still not too determined, Haoxing Mingrui, the fake prince, didn't know where to go for a while after exiting the Funing Palace, and stood alone in front of the palace gate.
There was a little eunuch on the side who saw the opportunity quickly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to lead him to a side hall next to him, and at this time, coincidentally, Hua Fengshan was also drinking tea in this side hall.
Suddenly seeing Haoxing Mingrui walk in, Hua Fengshan's face couldn't help flashing a look of surprise, and he hurriedly put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and stepped forward to salute, and at the same time said with a greeting in his mouth: "It's such a coincidence, the prince has also entered the palace." ”
Who knew that Haoxing Mingrui stood there as if he hadn't seen Huafeng Mountain at all, and the expression on his face was also blank.
At this time, the little eunuch who led the way had quietly retreated, and gently closed the door of this side hall from the outside.
Hua Fengshan saw that Haoxing Mingrui was still standing there silently, and knew that he didn't deliberately pretend to look like this, but something really happened that made him so out of shape.
He didn't say anything more, just silently stood there with Haoxing Mingrui for a long time.
And at this moment, although Haoxing Mingrui was standing there quietly, his mind was already as frantic as turning over the river and the sea-
Since he will let Zhu Mo return to the palace safely, it means that he has survived the test of the pot of poisonous wine!
The Prime Minister is safe. Huafu is also safe. But he ...... What's going on?
At the beginning, as soon as he heard that Zhu Mo and Leng Yiqing had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion together, Haoxing Mingrui guessed the general situation of the matter, it was likely that the identity of the Hanbing Yin clan was exposed!
And to deal with the hermit, the emperor's best way is to use poison - natural poison to extinguish.
After taking this poison, no hermit could be spared, even Ling Tian, the number one master in the world back then, died with hatred because of this poison.
So no matter what, Haoxing Mingrui has to stop Han Bing and prevent him from making that kind of senseless sacrifice.
Because the result is already predictable, after Han Bing drinks the poisoned wine, he will be poisoned to death. This can only confirm his identity as a hermit, but it can't save those who are implicated because of him.
However, in the end, Han Bing still convinced his uncle.
The Butterfly Transformation Gong should be able to temporarily suppress the Heavenly Poison Annihilation.
"Y-really?"
"No, I can, I can!" Uncle, I can do it!"
At that time, the smile on Han Bing's face was full of confidence, but Haoxing Mingrui saw it like a knife.
But what other choice could he make?
If the cold ice doesn't appear and doesn't drink the pot of poisonous wine, then both the Xiangfu and the Huafu will be spared.
Even if he could stand by and watch, Han Bing would never allow this to happen.
Since he couldn't stop Han Bing, he could only accept Han Bing's method and try his best to cooperate with him to save people.
So, in the inner study of Prince Ding's mansion, they worked out a temporary contingency plan together.
Then they went their separate ways according to this plan.
Han Bing went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Haoxing Mingrui made an excuse to enter the palace.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Han Bing made a life-and-death pact with him.
If Han Bing couldn't control the poison of the Heavenly Poison, then he would definitely remove Zhu Mo before the poison occurred.
And once the news of Zhu Mo's killing reached the palace, for Haoxing Mingrui, it was a signal that the plan had failed and he would act immediately.
He was going to take advantage of the panic caused by this news to rescue Hua Fengshan from the palace.
As soon as they left the palace gate, they would be helped by the hidden warriors who had been ambushed nearby for a long time, escorting them to the Flower Mansion next to the imperial city.
Then, everyone could escape from Jingyang City through the secret passage in the Flower Mansion.
Prior to this, Haoxing Mingrui had already made arrangements in the palace of Prince Ding, and once the situation was different, the hidden warriors in the palace would send his seventh uncle Xiao Tianjue out of the city from the secret passage.
Although this action will ruin the good situation that Haoxing Mingrui has achieved after years of hard work, he will not hesitate to do it.
Because he must not let Huafeng Mountain, and let the entire people of Huafu, be innocently sacrificed for his plan.
Although it is said that for the sake of the country's righteousness and the peace of the world, they can destroy their families and relieve difficulties, and they can shed blood and sacrifice, but that is for those of them who have vowed to dedicate themselves to this ideal.
Like Hua Fengshan, Hua Xiangjun, Uncle Qing and Cui'er, as well as other people in Huafu, they all helped him without regrets because of family affection, friendship, or out of good nature.
And how could he allow these good people to suffer because of this, destroy their homes, and even sacrifice their lives?
So when Han Bing knelt in front of the seventh uncle and proposed this life and death agreement to him, Haoxing Mingrui agreed to him without hesitation, even with great relief.
No matter how many setbacks and hardships they go through, and no matter how many bloody sacrifices they make, they will never forget their original intentions and must never do anything to achieve a so-called correct goal.
Now it seems that Han Bing has fulfilled his promise, relying on his magical butterfly transformation skills and his own tenacious willpower, he has completely concealed Zhu Mo's eyes and concealed his identity as a hidden clansman.
Then, the life-and-death agreement between him and Han Bing will also be over.
While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Haoxing Mingrui's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Moreover, the pain became more and more intense, and he almost lost his ability to control himself. Only by staring at the empty space in front of him can he let the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes slowly be put back.
Mu Ran stood for a long time, and Haoxing Mingrui's mood finally calmed down.
He turned his head to look at Hua Fengshan, who had been looking at him worriedly, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Hua is also here, could it be that the imperial brother is in poor health, so he summoned you, the divine doctor?"
As he spoke, he deliberately and secretly glanced at Hua Fengshan, signaling him to be careful that the wall has ears.
Hua Fengshan naturally understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "The emperor has all the opportunities, and it is inevitable that he will be a little distracted, I am just taking care of the emperor's blood and blood." ”
"This is good, this is good, it's okay!"
Haoxing Mingrui raised his hand and motioned for Hua Fengshan to sit down with him, then dipped his fingers in the tea, and quickly wrote four words on the table: "Just answer no questions." ”
After Hua Fengshan saw it, he nodded to him slightly.
Haoxing Mingrui immediately erased all the four words he had just written with his sleeve, and said at the same time: "Alas, it is really rude to snub Brother Hua just now!"
"You and I have been friends for a long time, why do you still talk so much about false courtesy!"
"As long as Brother Hua doesn't get surprised by this. Alas, I was really scared just now, so I lost my temper in front of Brother Hua!"
Haoxing Mingrui began to look for words, to try to explain and make up for his momentary gaffe.
And Hua Fengshan always remembers the four-character mantra of "only answer no questions", although he listened to Haoxing Mingrui's lively speech, but he closed his mouth and didn't ask the last sentence, such as "What happened" and the like, and there was not even a simple "oh" word that expressed doubt.
Haoxing Mingrui looked at him, blinked his eyes for a long time, and finally laughed at himself, so he had to continue to talk to himself.
"Today there was a murder in my house, and one of the guards was killed outside the door of my dormitory—"
Speaking of this, he saw Hua Fengshan's face with questions and shock, but he still kept his mouth closed, and forced himself not to ask, which really looked a little ridiculous.
Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but sigh that he had dug this pit a little deeper, and he forgot that Huafengshan, an honest man, only had one tendon.
Hua Fengshan didn't understand the meaning of the word "don't ask" he wrote, in fact, it meant not to ask questions that were inconvenient to answer here.
And the reason why Haoxing Mingrui deliberately made that mysterious move was to prevent the wall from having ears, but he was mainly afraid that Hua Fengshan would ask him what happened.
He needs to keep himself absolutely calm before everyone is completely out of danger. So he had to force himself not to think about Han Bing, to think about everything that had happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and not even to think about what Zhu Mo was saying to the emperor at this moment!
Fortunately, this embarrassing scene between him and Hua Fengshan did not last long, Zheng Yong came over with a smile and passed on the emperor's words, asking Prince Ding and Doctor Hua to go back to their respective homes first, and discuss something tomorrow.
Although Hua Fengshan didn't know what was going on, he naturally couldn't ask for it to leave this suffocating palace.
He immediately received the order of thanksgiving, and then walked out of this side hall without looking back.
