Inside Mingfeng Palace, the lights are shining brightly.

The people in the palace stood with their hands down in the flickering light and shadow. Inside the hall, there were many tributes from Fanbang, such as precious whole ferret hairs, pearls the size of fists that were rarely seen, and white jade carvings. A nine-series chain…

When the light was illuminated, they all shone brightly and swayed on people's faces.

When Su Shangyi walked in from outside, she asked softly, "Where's the princess?"

The palace servant still had some lingering fears, and said timidly: "I am inside, and I don't come out, and I don't ask the servants to go in and serve."

Su Shangyi felt a heartache.

She watched Her Royal Highness the eldest princess grow up, and to say something disrespectful, she treated her as a half-daughter to hurt her, but now she sees the envoy from the Tartars toasting with the Holy High above the main hall, just a few words and a few words Betrothed the princess out...

"I'll go in and see."

Su Shangyi walked over, raised her hand and lifted the bead curtain.

The window was not closed, and there was a cold wind blowing in from outside. The tentacles of the beads on the bead curtain were actually cold, and when they were released, they collided and made a pleasant sound.

But when Shen Zhiyi heard it, she only felt that the sound was like ice cubes colliding together.

The makeup that looks good during the day has been removed.

The scar on the face that had been covered with cherry powder became particularly obvious on this plain white face, just like the so-called family affection of the royal family. ability.

Shen Zhiyi saw Su Shangyi's figure in the mirror, but she seemed extra calm, and even smiled lightly, and said, "I'm fine, Su Shangyi doesn't have to worry about me. If I go back and let my mother know, maybe I'll find you again. trouble."

Where was the old Highness like this

At that time, it was arrogant and unrestrained, and he said whatever he was happy about. Now he is so calm when faced with such a big thing.

Shen Zhiyi didn't cry, Su Shangyi almost blushed, but she has always been a very strict person, and she didn't want to show too deep emotions, so she endured it and said, "I heard that Your Highness didn't have dinner at night, I'm really relieved. No less. Let the small kitchen re-do something, even if you have a warm bowl of soup."

However, Shen Zhiyi only looked at the scar on her face, gently stroked her fingertips, lowered her eyes and said, "It can't warm my heart."

Su Shangyi's tears came down immediately.

Shen Zhiyi finally turned around and hugged the grandma who was watching her growing up, as if she wanted to draw some strength and warmth from her, but she avoided the topic of kissing and asked, "Shang Yi, Ning Ning Won't you come tomorrow?"

When the news came about that she was going to have a relationship with Tatar, Shen Zhiyi didn't cry or make trouble, and accepted it calmly. Perhaps it was because she was so calm that it aroused the rare guilt of this older brother, Shen Lang. She only asked her if she wanted anything, and tried to satisfy her as much as possible.

She only said that she wanted her companions to go back to the palace to study.

In order to make Shen Zhiyi happy, Shen Lang agreed immediately and let the young lady who had been selected as a companion from each government enter the palace at night. However, the Jiang mansion handed over the accusation document, saying that Jiang Xuening could not stand the cold and was afraid that he would pass the sickness to the princess.

Su Shangyi also inquired about it, and comforted her: "Jiang's house invited a good doctor to see him. He said that although the disease has been severe, it has stabilized. He will be able to enter the palace in a few days. Please don't worry."

Shen Zhiyi felt that her heart was empty.

Ning Ning didn't come, and it was the same as if other companions came.

What's more...

She curved her lips silently and said, "That's right, even Ning Ning has nothing to learn in the palace now. Mr. Xie has led people to settle the troubles of the Heavenly Sect, and he doesn't teach in the palace. When Mr. Xie comes back, She's also healed, maybe just fine."

Su Shangyi didn't understand what was going on in the courtroom, so she nodded and said, "Your Highness thinks it better."

Then, just like before, he removed Zhu Cui from Shen Zhiyi's head.

The thick cloud-like hair fell down, but in the mirror was a pair of eyes that were so calm that they were almost dead.

There was a lot of discussion in the courtroom about the Heavenly Sect's robbery.

After all, no one thought at first that so many fugitives would follow.

The plan was made by Xie Wei, and naturally it also attracted a lot of criticism.

Although he has always been a civil official, since some people questioned his strategy and suspected that there was such an omission of letting the tiger return to the mountain, he naturally had to stand up and take the responsibility.

In fact-

This is exactly what Xie Wei is aiming for.

Gu Chunfang's recommendation for Zhang Zha to take risks and impersonate the people of Dujun Mountain is a bad plan; The whereabouts of the party, the completion of the closing of the net, so it will naturally take back control of this matter.

However, there is always a little surprise.

At the beginning, outside the broken temple where Jiang Xuening and the others had settled, a large group of officers and soldiers were already stationed.

The ruined temples have been cleaned up.

Jian Shu walked back from the shadowy withered forest outside, stepped into the temple, and saw Xie Wei sitting on a clean brocade pad in the corner, looking up at the headless Bodhisattva. The dark eyes were half hidden in the shadows, dark and hard to see.

He was very thickly dressed, and his thin lips were bloodless.

Although he still looked peaceful, there was a bit of frost-like coldness between his brows.

Jian Shu bowed and said, "I found the mark left by Xiao Bao on the bark of a tree outside. There is indeed a woman walking with Zhang Zhe, who is quite sheltered by the other party, or it may be the second girl Jiang. And... "

Walking with Zhang Zhe, he is quite protected by the other party...

She wasn't worried about her own safety.

That Bodhisattva had only a body but no head, and looked particularly scary when the light was dim.

Xie Wei looked at it and asked, "What else?"

Jianshu hesitated for a moment, and his voice was a little quieter: "Xiaobao said that in addition to Huang Qian and Feng Mingyu, Master Dingfei also came this time."

Sitting cross-legged, hands resting naturally on knees.

His sleeves were wide, covering the backs of his hands.

The exposed fingers, while slender, are somewhat bluish-white. The small wound on the pulp of the ring finger of the right hand has been treated, and the blood scab has formed, and it is no longer painful when it is placed on the knee.

Hearing the name, Xie Wei bent the corners of his lips: "That's a coincidence."

There's a bit of savageness in the smile.

Jian Shu knew what the word "coincidence" meant, and said, "Dong Guogong's troops are in the lead, and they are going straight to Tongzhou. The things you explained a few hours ago have already been done. The news from Duke Dingguo's side has been sent."

If Xiao Dingfei was here, he would jump up when he heard this!

How could the goddamn Duke Dingguo of the Xiao family get involved

This matter has to start from the day of the meeting.

The original plan to use Gongyicheng as a bait to lure the Heavenly Sect into the game was done by Xie Wei alone. Except for some accidents, Xie Wei should also take care of himself. I don't want Duke Ding Xiao Yuan to jump out and say that Xie Wei is a civil servant who does not have the ability to lead troops to fight.

The emperor thought so too.

With a wave of his hand, he asked Xiao Yuan and Xie Wei to deal with the matter together. He simply divided the troops into two separate groups and pursued them separately, trying to capture the rebels in the least amount of time, catch the felons and bring them to justice. By the way, Zhang Zha, who was in danger, was rescued. .

At noon, Xiao Yuan set off with his own soldiers.

Xie Wei was not in a hurry and followed behind.

Jianshu was worried.

But Xie Wei only gave him some instructions, saying: "There is no way to come to hell. Since he is looking for death, he must be taught a lesson."

After Jian Shu heard the order, he was stunned.

It's just that he has been by Xie Wei's side for many years. After he calmed down and thought about it, he was really scared into a cold sweat. He secretly thought that this time it was three birds with one stone, and he couldn't be good. Not to mention Tianjiao and the Xiao family, it's that Zhang Zhe, sir...

There was a fire in the temple, but it was still cold when the north wind came in.

Xie Wei's face turned pale again.

However, in the next moment, there was a bit of flushing, and he coughed with a frown, his shoulders twitched, and the shadow stretched on the wall also swayed.

So those who stood still in the shadows became clear.

It is the sword and piano with beautiful eyes, wearing a dark blue outfit, carrying a bow and arrow and a quiver, standing behind Xie Wei like a shadow.

Jianshu knows that when his sword is unsheathed, he does not necessarily kill people.

However, if the arrow of the knife and piano were to stray from the string, it would definitely kill.

"Sister's face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?"

Jiang Xuening heard that everyone was still talking about the affairs of the court and the opposition. It had been a long time since he said a word. He suddenly heard such a concerned cry, but raised his head and saw a braid dangling in front of him.

It's that little boy again.

The other party had big eyes and was squatting beside the fire to add firewood. When he looked back at her, he seemed a little worried and asked a question.

Jiang Xuening suddenly came back to her senses, thinking that the matter of Shen Zhiyi and her relatives was ordered by the emperor, and she was just an official lady at best. How could she control the court situation and prevent this from happening

Can't handle it.

Besides, do you really want to go back to the prison in the capital for the sake of others? It is important to know that the opportunity cannot be lost, it will never come again. Maybe there will never be a chance like this again...

This is out of your control.

It's not within your power.

This is the number of people's lives.

She told herself this in her heart, forcing herself to pull back her chaotic thoughts, and subconsciously said, "It's okay."

Xiaobao was puzzled, blinked and said, "But you look like you are sick."

sick

Jiang Xuening remembered the plan with Zhang Zhe.

After entering Tongzhou City, she had to pretend to be sick, then went to the hospital to see a doctor, spread the news, and then she could get out of danger, and then she left Tongzhou and the capital without knowing it.

From now on, it's just fine...

So she didn't tidy up, just sat beside Zhang Zhe with a sullen look, smiled weakly, and said, "Maybe the wind blows on the road, and I have a headache."

The girl's body is delicate, let alone Jiang Xuening

Everyone didn't think much about it for a while, and thought it was normal.

Xiaobao's eyes flashed, thoughtful.

Xiao Dingfei was originally huddled beside Jiang Xuening, but when he raised his eyelids, he saw Xiaobao coming to add firewood to the fire, and he was really frightened. Uncle, is there any news from the city yet? I really can't wait!"

If this is not over soon, I am afraid that we will have to wait for the evil star.

He was so panicked that he could not wait to enter the city immediately and slip away.

However, Feng Mingyu still remembered the absurd words he said on the road, his face trembled, and said, "It should be soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from the darkness.

Everyone with swords in their bodies held down the swords.

However, Huang Qian heard a whistle sound in the dark, and quickly got up to suppress everyone's reaction, and said with a smile: "It's time for the sentry to come back, I'll go take a look."

Huang Qian walked over.

There was a shadow over there talking to him and handing him something.

Huang Qian's body seemed to be shaken.

He took the thing back and handed it over to Feng Mingyu.

It was a thin letterbox.

Feng Mingyu didn't care when he took it over at first, but he opened the letterbox and pulled out the small rolled up letterhead. He saw a small black emblem painted on the upper right corner of the letterhead. The lines were as smooth as mountains. , So simple that there is a sense of returning to the original, and the complexion suddenly changed.

When Zhan Xin read it, his pupils contracted even more.

Rao is that he repeatedly warned himself not to scare the snake, but the fiercely flickering eyes still fluttered in the direction of Zhang Zhe uncontrollably.

Zhang Zhe was too far apart, and only vaguely felt that the other party's eyes turned to his side.

His heart froze slightly.

Xiao Dingfei couldn't wait any longer, and asked repeatedly, "How is it, how is it?"

Feng Mingyu shoved the letter back into the letterbox and put it in his sleeve without letting others see the emblem. His heart skipped a beat, but he walked back with a smile on his face and said, "Let's wait for a long time, the sentry will reply, everything is safe and sound. , everyone can enter the city.”

Everyone was happy and got up one after another.

Zhang Zhe also stood up.

Jiang Xuening felt an unspeakable uneasiness in his heart, and gently grabbed his sleeve, his lips parted, before he could say anything, Feng Mingyu had already paced in front of them. His face turned his back to the burning fire behind him. Although he was smiling, the shadows covered him with a terrifying meaning, but his attitude was respectful: "Master Zhang, let's go together?"
