Eunuch Hu's complexion changed drastically, and he said calmly, "Your Majesty Xiao, you haven't been summoned by the emperor, what should you do if you break into Fushou Pavilion privately..."
Before the word "crime" could be uttered, Xiao Yi slapped him on the chest. The palm came out with anger and no mercy. Eunuch Hu spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a "bang". on the ground.
The two guards looked at each other in blank dismay. They realized that something was going wrong, and rushed towards Xiao Yi with their swords in a desperate fight.
Xiao Yi protected Nangong Yue behind him, raised his arm to block and snatched the sword from one of the guards. With a backhand, the sword pierced through the chest of the other guard, and with a turn of his wrist, the tip of the sword was in the hands of the first guard. There was a line of blood across the neck, and the guard clutched his neck, and before he could scream, he fell down.
Xiao Yi stepped over their corpses indifferently, and walked to Eunuch Hu who was lying on the side. Seeing that he still had a trace of breath, he raised his sword and was about to fall...
"Wait, Ayi." Nangong Yue stopped him and said, "Leave a life. I want to know who did it."
Xiao Yi restrained the hostility in his heart, dropped the sword casually, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Nangong Yue calmed down at this moment. She rested her head on Xiao Yi's chest, patted his back lightly, and said in a soft voice: "Let's go back first." As she spoke, she said with some distress I frowned and thought: What should I do with these two corpses.
After all, this Fushou Pavilion is the residence of the emperor, and it might not be easy to hide the fact that two more corpses came out for no reason.
"Xiao Shizi."
At this time, a few black shadows flew by quickly, and Xiao Si rushed over with two people. He looked around and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Young Master asked me to come here."
"Leave first."
Xiao Yi spoke coldly, his usual wanton publicity was gone, replaced by an undisguised strong killing intent.
Fortunately, Xiao Si brought two people over, the corpses of the two guards and the unconscious Eunuch Hu were finally at ease. Xiao Yi accompanied Nan Gongyue and the two maids and walked out in a fair manner, while Xiao Si and the others took advantage of the interval between the guards' patrols, without disturbing anyone at all, and left Fushou Pavilion without any danger.
After that, Xiaosi and the others took the three burdens back and returned to Guan Yubai, while Xiao Yi led Nangong Yue back to Jingyue Zhai.
Xiao Yi kept holding Nangong Yue's hand, unwilling to let go for a moment, as if he would lose her completely if he let go.
Nangong Yue also had lingering fears in her heart. Although the game was not meticulous this time, it was better than that Eunuch Hu was indeed a person next to the emperor, and the place where she was taken was indeed the emperor's place... If it wasn't because of her previous life, she His vigilance is higher than that of ordinary people, and I am afraid that most of them will be recruited.
"Ayi..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Xiao Yi seemed to be comforting her, but Nangong Yue could feel that the hand he was holding her was trembling slightly.
Xiao Yi, who had always acted recklessly and didn't know what fear was, was now afraid.
Nangong Yue held his hand instead, warming his cold palm, and softly comforted him: "I'm fine. Ah Yi..." She deliberately drew Xiao Yi's attention away, and asked, "Do you know who did it? ?”
Xiao Yi didn't know what happened yet, but Guan Yubai's face changed drastically after he learned that the Nanman people had given the empress a seven-color bird and a sachet, so he said without thinking: "Those Southern barbarians!"
"Nanman people?" Nangong Yue was surprised, and said puzzledly, "But, Eunuch Hu is indeed serving in the imperial study. How can the Nanman people buy him?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a sneer: "I'll go to Xiaobai's place and ask the eunuch surnamed Hu in a while, so I can't spare his life for nothing."
Because it was inconvenient to move around with Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi asked Xiao Si to take Eunuch Hu to Guan Yubai.
"My lord, my concubine." While speaking, Bai He rushed to report, "My lord is here."
There has always been only one "son" in Lily's mouth - Guan Yubai.
Xiao Yi wanted to wait a while before looking for Guan Yubai, but he didn't expect him to come first.
Xiao Yi led Nangong Yue out together.
Guan Yubai's complexion has returned to normal, with a calm and clear look, and he can't see the previous panic at all.
"Young Master."
Nangong Yue blessed the body, Xiao Yi greeted Guan Yubai and sat down, Lily warmly served tea, then quietly retreated and closed the door.
Guan Yubai asked straight to the point: "A Yi, the matter has already been clarified, I am here to tell you."
There are many methods in the army, and it doesn't take much effort to interrogate a eunuch.
Xiao Yi asked: "Did the southern barbarians do it?"
"It was the third prince who instructed Eunuch Hu." Guan Yubai said calmly, "Eunuch Hu belongs to Concubine Zhang. Shortly after Eunuch Hu entered the palace, Concubine Zhang picked him up. At that time, Concubine Zhang was in favor, so he He managed to get him to serve the emperor by his side, and he has been there for seven or eight years. He confessed that he obeyed the order of the third prince and falsely passed on the emperor's word of mouth, and tricked the concubine into Fushou Pavilion."
Nangong Yue's eyes widened in surprise, "Third Prince... What did he trick me there for?"
Xiao Yi was also puzzled, he had no time to ask more questions just now because of the tight time, but now, he wanted to make it clear.
Guan Yubai lowered his eyes slightly. For a woman, the next topic might be difficult to talk about. Guan Yubai originally wanted Nangong Yue to avoid him for the time being, but since he met her, Guan Yubai knew that this was not a weak woman who would be trapped in a deep boudoir. Since this matter was related to her, she should know about it. yes.
Thinking of this, Guan Yu opened his lips and said softly: "I once saw in a natural history from outside the region that there is a rare rare bird in the land of Baiyue..."
The more Nangong Yue heard it, the more frightened she became. Her palms were dripping with cold sweat, and she couldn't stop shaking.
She couldn't imagine, if she hadn't always been cautious, if Xiao Yi hadn't rushed over with the official warning, what kind of nightmare would she have faced... How could there be such a vicious person in this world!
Death is nothing more than a pain, but they want her to fall into hell, and they can't ask for death!
Nangong Yue's small face was pale, Xiao Yi looked at it with heartache, and comforted her softly.
Nangong Yue asked with a trembling voice: "Third Prince... why did he do this?"
"Eunuch Hu is just an eunuch, so naturally he doesn't know too much." Guan Yubai said calmly, "According to my guess, it should be to make you, A Yi, break with the emperor."
If something like that really happened, it would be impossible for the monarch and his ministers to have no grievances.
Guan Yubai said lightly: "In this way, if A Yi wants to live safely in the capital as a hostage, he must have a new reliance. At that time, the third prince will take the opportunity to recruit you. And if you don't know good and bad , he can also find another opportunity to persuade the emperor to get rid of you who have lost his heart, so as to show his favor to the second son of Southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Yi's eyes were full of bloody murderous intent, even if Han Lingfu was hacked into pieces, it would be difficult to solve the hatred in his heart.
Fortunately, his stinky girl is smart and alert.
Guan Yubai looked at Xiao Yi and said, "A Yi, what are you going to do next?"
Xiao Yi replied without hesitation, "Kill him, and those southern barbarians!"
"Do you want to relieve the hatred in your heart for a while, or do you want the third prince to be immortal?" Guan Yubai held the teacup on the cup, took a sip, and said, "It's easy to relieve the hatred in your heart. With your kung fu, you will be able to do it without anyone noticing it. If you arrange it secretly at that time, the emperor will only regard it as an accident. If we want him to never recover, we need to plan carefully. As for those Baiyue people , is not worth mentioning."
Death is at best a momentary fear, when the eyes are closed and it is over.
And for an ambitious prince, being knocked into the dust from above is probably the most painful.
Since the third prince is so vicious, he must make it impossible for him to survive or die!
Xiao Yi glanced at Nangong Yue, and saw her nodding to him.
Seeing this, Guan Yubai understood, and said, "That's not something that can be done in a day or two... However, for the time being, I can let you and Shi Zifei express their anger first."
"Young Master Guan." Nangong Yue spoke at this moment, her voice finally calmed down a bit, no longer trembling, but a little dry, "Is this only the third prince's work?"
Nangong Yue always felt that there was one person who had something to do with this matter.
Bai Muxiao!
Since the last time her plagiarism was exposed in public, she has lived in seclusion in Yinglan Palace, almost invisible. Based on Nangong Yue's understanding of her, Bai Muxiao is not the kind of person who can endure. Whenever she has a chance, she will try to turn around.
Such a vicious plan seems a bit like her handwriting.
"I asked someone to investigate, and there will be results soon."
Just as Guan Yubai finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Lily's voice came from outside: "My lord, Xiaosi has sent a letter."
After letting her in, Lily handed a sealed letter to Guan Yubai, and then withdrew.
Guan Yubai opened the envelope, glanced at it, handed it to Xiao Yi, and said, "The princess is right."
The letter listed all the places Bai Yi and Achita had been to and everyone they had met in the past few days. Among them, one name was clearly visible-Bai Muxiao.
Nangong Yue paused and said, "It really is her!"
Han Lingfu is ambitious, and the most painful thing for him is definitely not death, but getting farther and farther away from that position, and being at odds with the woman he loves. As for Bai Muxiao, what she has relied on for the past two lifetimes is Han Lingfu's dedication to her...
…
Bai Muxiao was a little uneasy.
Two hours ago, Xiao Lizi called to say that Nangong Yue had already gone to Fushou Pavilion.
Two hours have passed, what should have happened should have happened long ago, why didn't Han Lingfu order someone to tell him the good news.
Her plan is perfect and there will be no mistakes. Forgive Nangong Yue, no matter how lucky she is this time, she will not be able to escape.
Could it be that the emperor wanted to cover up the matter out of face and ordered people to seal the news
Probably…
It would not be long before Han Lingfu got the chance, and Han Lingfu would send someone over.
Bai Muxiao stood up and walked back and forth in the room, her anxiety made her feel unbearably hot.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Bihen walked in, Fushen said: "Girl, there is a letter from you."
"letter?"
Bihen lowered his voice and said: "It was sent by a Baiyue person, and he said he would hand it over to you."
Baiyue people
Was it sent by someone sent by Baiyi
Bai Muxiao opened the letter, checked the stamp at the end of the letter and the mark she had agreed with Bai Yi, and then read the letter. Afterwards, she sneered and said disdainfully: "It's really useless."
Bihen hesitated and said, "Girl?"
After pondering for a moment, Bai Muxiao said, "You guys go out with me." Saying that, she walked out first.
Bai Yi wrote to say that something went wrong and he wanted to ask her to meet to discuss how to make it up.
Bai Muxiao brought the maid to the agreed place, which was Liufangzhai located behind Yanyu Pavilion. Because the Yanyu Pavilion was assigned to the Baiyue people to live in, Liufangzhai was also vacant, and generally no one would go there. Because of the seclusion, Bai Muxiao and Baiyi also made an appointment to meet here.
The courtyard of the palace is so quiet that you can almost hear the drop of a needle, only the rustling of the leaves blown by the breeze occasionally sounds.
Bihen looked around uneasily, and said to Bai Muxiao in a low voice: "Girl, why don't we go back?" Bihen always felt that Bai Muxiao's cooperation with Baiyi was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and he was always a little bit anxious. .
Bai Muxiao ignored it. Her gaze paused at the room in front of her, and she continued to walk forward.
Bai Yi asked her to come over, hoping she wouldn't be late, otherwise she wouldn't have the patience to wait too long.
Bai Muxiao walked to the front of the house. The door was ajar, so she simply pushed the door open by herself.
"squeak--"
The room was dimly lit, and faint sounds could be heard coming from behind the bead curtain.
A hint of impatience flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, and she softly shouted: "The girl who puts on clothes..."
Bai Muxiao opened the bead curtain, and the beads on the curtain made a crisp sound when they collided together, and a strange smell rushed in the air.
Bai Muxiao frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, but subconsciously raised her eyes to look.
For a moment, I was stunned, and my mind was blank.
Bihen, who was following her, also saw it, and opened her mouth suddenly, but she insisted on covering her mouth tightly, not screaming.
On the pear wood bed placed against the wall in front, a young man and woman are sleeping with their necks crossed. The woman's eyes are closed, her pink lips are slightly red and swollen, and her long black hair like satin is scattered on her Shengxue skin. , The snow-white fragrant shoulders are half exposed. And the man buried his head on the woman's slender and swan-like neck, and their black hair was like ink, entangled and intertwined with each other...
Although the woman only showed her side face, Bai Muxiao immediately recognized her as Bai Yi from her nose bridge which was obviously taller than Dayu's.
What Bai Muxiao cares about is not the clothes, but the other person. Although from her perspective, she can only see his closed eyes and the slightly raised corners of his mouth, but only half of his side face, but Bai Muxiao has already set his eyes on him. Recognized.
It's him!
How could it be him!
She stared fixedly at his peaceful sleeping face, and ruthlessly dug her fingers into her palm...
The man's head moved, as if he heard the noise, he turned his head to look in Bai Muxiao's direction, and his slightly bewildered eyes met her stunned eyes.
Bai Muxiao stared blankly at the scene in front of her as if frozen, her heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible big palm, which made her almost unable to breathe. Her delicate body was trembling slightly, her throat was dry and she couldn't make any sound.
The man she loves the most, the man who once promised her to be a couple for the rest of her life, Han Lingfu and Baiyue Saintess put their clothes upside down and slept together on the same couch!
A thin layer of mist appeared in front of Bai Muxiao's eyes, and she was distraught.
Bihen didn't recognize the man's identity until now, this time, she finally couldn't help exclaiming: "Your Highness..." How could this happen!? How could it be His Highness the Third Prince!
"Xiao, Xiao'er."
The moment he saw Bai Muxiao, Han Lingfu's hazy eyes instantly regained clarity. He frowned and looked around, as if he didn't know where he was.
It turns out that everything just now was not a dream...
"Xiao'er, Xiao'er, listen to my explanation." Han Lingfu hurriedly wanted to stay on the bed, and the brocade quilt slipped down with his movements, revealing his bare/naked chest, and the faint imprint could still be seen between the collarbone... Loomingly see the exquisite figure in the clothes, and the charming traces of red on it...
Bai Muxiao's pupils shrank suddenly, her heart ached as if her internal organs had been eaten by snakes, rats, insects and ants, her whole body was weak and weak. She took a step back slowly, another step...
Anger roared in her body, but she couldn't find an outlet to vent it.
Why? Why did Han Lingfu want to blame her!
He clearly promised her that she would not touch other women, he clearly said that she was his favorite woman, why? Why did she let her see all this with her own eyes!
If this is a nightmare, and she wakes up from it in the next moment, that would be great...
The commotion in the inner room finally disturbed the sleeping peng yi. She moaned softly, moved her body, and then slowly opened her eyes. The blue eyes contained the moisture after the affair.
She immediately felt some discomfort in her body, and then thought of what happened just now in a daze. Her delicate and beautiful face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and her body trembled slightly.
"No, it shouldn't be like this." Bai Yi muttered in a daze, "How could this be..." She never thought of dedicating herself to Han Lingfu, the person she admired was Guan Yubai!
Guan Yubai's elegant figure like a banished immortal appeared in her mind. Dayu had a saying: "With sincerity, gold and stone are opened." At first, she was confident that she would be able to win Guan Yubai's heart, but now, now I already have flaws in myself, and I am no longer worthy of the perfect Guan Yubai.
A deep sadness and despair flashed in her eyes...
Han Lingfu originally wanted to question Bai Yi, but seeing Bai Yi's reaction, he was obviously more shocked than him.
At this time, Han Lingfu was not in the mood to confront Bai Yi, he hurriedly grabbed a robe, wrapped it around his body in a hurry, and said, "Xiao'er, it's not what you saw..."
Bai Muxiao took a deep breath, as if every word was squeezed out from between her teeth, "I don't want to hear anything, I just want to ask you a word." She looked at Han Lingfu with a painful expression, "Aren't you It's already..." She looked at Bai Yi like an arrow, she just felt that she was so stupid, how could she be provoked by Bai Yi's few words, so stupid that she was seeking skin from a tiger!
Han Lingfu's thin lips moved, and he was speechless. Up to now, his mind is still in a mess, and he doesn't know how things happened...
However, what has already happened cannot be changed!
A look of fear flashed in his eyes, would he lose his Xiao'er for this
From his eyes, Bai Muxiao got the answer. In other words, her question was nothing more than deceiving herself and humiliating herself.
Her eyes were filled with tears, her expression was desolate and desperate, and she turned and left resolutely.
"Xiao'er..." Han Lingfu anxiously wanted to get on the bed to chase after him, but the chilly lower body made him stop again. He picked up another pair of trousers in a panic, and could only watch as Bai Muxiao's figure disappeared into the door curtain, leaving only the string of beaded curtain dangling in the air, colliding with each other, which was extremely ear-piercing...
Han Lingfu tried desperately to think about what happened and why it happened like this...
He only vaguely remembered that he was waiting for news from Eunuch Hu, and then Xiao Yi came... By the way, it was Xiao Yi, it was Xiao Yi who knocked him out!
Xiao Yi did it!
Could it be that the matter failed, Xiao Yi knew everything, and deliberately wanted to take revenge on himself?!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Han Lingfu's whole heart turned cold instantly.
He clearly planned well, how could he lose... No, even if he lost, the Baiyue people should stand in front, how could Xiao Yi know it was him, it was him...
Han Lingfu's mind went blank, but at this moment, he suddenly heard another burst of messy footsteps coming from outside. He raised his eyes subconsciously, but saw that the door curtain in front of him was raised again, and a familiar and angry face came into his eyes.
Han Lingfu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out, "Father!"
Of course, the clothes on the bed also saw the emperor, and his heart sank to the lowest point in an instant.
It's over, once Emperor Dayu finds out, this matter cannot be concealed, soon, the eldest prince Kui Lang will also know, and then he must...
Thinking of this, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her hands unconsciously grabbed the thin quilt under her fingers.
The emperor was not an innocent fool, so it was self-evident what the mess and the strong musky smell in the inner room meant.
Yes, a lonely man and a widow, with disheveled clothes, and a young man, what can happen?!
"Evil!" The emperor shook his sleeve angrily, "Come out!"
The emperor turned around and went out again without hesitation. The queen who was following him took a step back, glanced at Han Lingfu lightly, and then followed him unhurriedly.
Han Lingfu exerted force unconsciously with his right hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and it was difficult to calm down.
At this moment, his brain finally regained his thinking.
First Xiao'er, then father... This time, I have stumbled!
Xiao Yi, hello Xiao Yi!
Han Lingfu gritted his teeth, put on the robe as quickly as possible, then picked up a white jade belt and buckled it, adjusted the clothes again, and left the room.
The emperor was sitting at the stone table in the yard, and the index finger of his right hand was touching the stone table impatiently.
This was a small gesture made by the emperor when his father was irritable and angry. Han Lingfu's heart sank, but he still bit the bullet and stepped forward, kneeling on the cold bluestone floor with a plop.
"Father, Queen!"
The emperor's cold eyes swept over Han Lingfu. Before the third prince took his clothes to the Jinxinhui, the emperor felt that the two were getting too close, but thinking that Han Lingfu, as a prince, should always know that state affairs are the most important thing , and didn't specifically reprimand him, I didn't expect him to repay his trust in this way.
Baiyue had long wanted to marry Dayu with the saint girl, but he hadn't agreed to it for a long time, and now this rebellious son actually married the saint girl first, and if the news spread, he would give his face to him Lost it!
Seeing that the emperor remained silent, the empress said: "Your majesty, the third emperor is young and full of vigor, so he was confused for a while..."
"The empress doesn't have to say good things about this rebellious son." The emperor's eyes became colder, and he said firmly, "Xiao San, what else do you have to say!"
Han Lingfu instinctively wanted to say that Xiao Yi was harming him, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly calmed down.
Even if he told Xiao Yi, would father believe it
Xiao Yi is being favored and trusted by his father, without evidence, how could his father believe it!
What's more, if the father asked Xiao Yi why he wanted to harm himself
Do you want to answer that Xiao Yi is taking revenge on yourself
If you go deeper, your father found out that you and the Baiyue people were trying to frame him and the concubine of the Prince of Zhennan... Then this matter has risen from "uncontrollable feelings" between men and women to "treason and conspiracy" and "murder of the emperor". Can you afford it yourself
Han Lingfu's back was covered with cold sweat, no wonder Xiao Yi appeared in front of him without any shyness.
Han Lingfu's heart went cold. At this moment, he had only one choice, which was to bow his head and admit his mistake: "Father, it is my fault! My son... my son cannot help himself."
One sentence is the final conclusion!
The emperor's eyes widened, his face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at Han Lingfu, unable to speak for a moment: "The small Lifan Academy can't be managed well, and now it's easy to be seduced by beauty and have sex with others, it's really...
The queen hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't get angry, don't get angry."
The emperor let out a sigh of relief, stood up abruptly, flung his sleeves away, and only gave four words——
"Unusable!"
The emperor strode away, and the rest of the entourage naturally followed closely. In the blink of an eye, the originally noisy courtyard became silent again, terribly silent.
Only the figure of Han Lingfu Xiao Suo was left standing in place, and the four words of the emperor echoed in his ears repeatedly...
Useless!
