Secret way?!" Sir Huo exclaimed in amazement. I don't know if it's because he really doesn't know anything, or because he has been in the officialdom for too long, so acting is so natural. What about opening the secret passage between the two governments? "
Fenghuang helplessly brushed the few strands of hair that had fallen from her forehead, thinking to herself that this was another adult who didn't understand the situation in her mansion. So many people around. But since it has been said, it can't be taken back. Let's adapt to the situation and say, so maybe we can get some clues.
"Yes, I found it by accident in the general's mansion just now, hehe, what a coincidence, General Wuhu seems to know nothing about this secret passage." Fenghuang seemed to say these words casually. Lord Huo who stood by was trembling with fright. He felt that the Seventh Princess might be doubting him, so how should he get out
Sweat dripped from Mrs. Huo's forehead. He wiped it casually, and quickly defended himself: "Seventh Princess, are you suspicious of me? Don’t dare, hiding gunpowder and bombing the palace, everyone knows that this is a capital crime!”
Just one sentence scares this Lord Huo enough. Even if this kind of person serves the court, it is futile. I really wonder how these ministers were selected to assist the emperor. Fenghuang has already denied Mr. Huo in his heart, but he still wants to ask him a few questions: "I ask you, do you know Mo Chen?"
When Mr. Huo heard this name, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then quickly dimmed. He forced himself to be calm, and boldly asked Fenghuang: "This is a steward of my house, how dare you ask the Seventh Princess what she wants from him? After hearing this, Fenghuang was startled: this Mo Chen really cannot be ignored, he has several jobs, I want to see what else he can do. "There is also Mo Chen in the general's mansion, what a coincidence, I want to see if they are alone. Go, find him for me." Phoenix commanded.
After the servants around heard it, they quietly raised their eyes to look at Mr. Huo. Lord Huo roared: "How dare you disobey the Seventh Concubine's words?! Go and find me!" Like birds and beasts scattered, the servants went to the mansion to find someone. Fenghuang squinted his eyes and thought: Since this Mo Chen is so shrewd, at this point, he must be one step ahead of us in planning, he probably ran away. Mr. Huo ordered someone to bring a chair, wiped the dust off it with his sleeve, invited Fenghuang to sit down, and ordered people to make tea quickly. "No need, I'd better go back to the prince's mansion to drink this tea, it's important to find someone." Fenghuang waved his hand, rejecting Lord Huo's kindness.
As soon as the words fell, one of the servants trotted over. He knelt in front of Lord Huo and Fenghuang, and reported: "My lord, princess, this Mo Chen has long since disappeared, and even his luggage has disappeared." Huo The lord was about to get angry: "What's the use of you, you can't even find anyone, give it to me right away..." Sure enough, as Fenghuang expected, Mo Chen had already run away, she interrupted lord Huo's attack, and said: " Master Huo, don't make things difficult for these servants anymore, Mo Chen must have run away long ago after hearing the news. Since I can't find anyone, then I will leave first." Fenghuang has been fighting wits and courage with these people for a day, and he is already tired , she just wants to go back to the prince's mansion now, because she knows that there are people who dote on her the most.
Lord Huo still wanted to be courteous, so he ordered: "Xiao Qi, escort the Seventh Princess back to the prince's mansion." Fenghuang shook his head, expressing that he didn't need his people to escort him all the way, with their little flair, Fenghuang could settle it all by himself, so how could he Do you expect them to protect you? The person who was trying to molest Fenghuang knelt on one side, already frightened, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Fenghuang. As Fenghuang walked out, he gave him a contemptuous glance as a warning .
Inside the prince's mansion, there was a piece of tranquility, there was no noisy people outside, and no intrigues on the scene. Accompanied by the cool wind and soft light, Phoenix nestled on the rocking chair and fell asleep unknowingly. In the dream, she seemed to see the gentle smiling face of the Seventh Prince. A gust of wind blew by, and Yang Tingjing's clothes fluttered, just like a person in a painting, with star eyebrows and sword eyes, very delicate. He called her softly: "Phoenix, Come to me, and I will protect you and cherish you forever." Fenghuang unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
In a trance, it was as if someone was gently pinching her shoulders, which was especially comfortable for her who was tired. Fenghuang curled up like a lazy cat, and continued to sleep drowsily. I don't know how long it took, and finally she was full of sleep, she opened her eyes slightly, looked sideways, Yang Tingjing's handsome face was facing her, the happiest thing in the world is that the person she likes is right there after waking up. Let's be around, a warm current surged in her heart, she and Yang Tingjing looked at each other and smiled.
"When did the lord come over, why didn't you wake me up?" Fenghuang rubbed his slightly messy hair, his eyes were sleepy. With a smile in his eyes, Yang Tingjing brought her a cup of tea, and said slowly: "Drink your saliva first to moisten your throat."
Watching Fenghuang sipping tea, Yang Tingjing said emotionally: "My princess is sleeping so soundly, how can I bear to disturb her? Is it comfortable to squeeze her shoulders?" Fenghuang blushed slightly, and she nodded gently.
"My lord, I made a major discovery during this trip." Fenghuang continued, "There are explosives in both the Feng Mansion and the General's Mansion." Yang Tingjing nodded without showing any surprise.
"Could it be that the prince already knows?" Fenghuang asked seeing Yang Tingjing's calm expression.
Yang Tingjing smiled and said: "Yes, I knew it a long time ago. Chu Ge has already found out for me before. But I didn't expect this secret passage to lead to Huo's mansion."
"There is a steward in the General's Mansion named Mo Chen. Coincidentally, there is also a steward named Mo Chen in the Huo Mansion. Tell me, is there anything strange about this?" Fenghuang frowned and asked, what is the matter of the Yu family? What do you want to do
The night is gradually falling, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars appear one by one, inlaid in the black sky, they are extraordinarily dazzling, and a few white clouds linger around the crescent moon, adding a bit of dreamy color. The Seventh Prince's Mansion was quiet, but on the other side, there was a group of people in Prince Ning's Mansion who were busy saying goodbye.
"My lord, let's just leave here. We've been out for a long time, if we don't go back to the frontier, I'm afraid there will be trouble." General Qu's words were sincere, and the firm expression on his face made people feel that he had to leave.
Concubine Ning dissuaded her: "I know my brother is in a hurry to go back, but the night is already dark, and the road conditions cannot be seen clearly in the dark. Even if we set off immediately, the speed will not be too fast. It is better to rest for one night. It's not too late to go."
General Qu still declined: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but Changzhen Lingyao and I have been bothering here for many days, and it is not appropriate to continue to live here. If someone finds out, it would be bad to implicate the prince."
Lord Ning pondered for a moment, and said to Princess Ning: "Since General Qu has decided to go, let him go. If he is forced to stay here, General Qu will not be happy." Knowing how to put the overall situation first, I had no choice but to nod and said: "Then I wish my brother a smooth journey."
Thus, General Qu, Chang Zhen, and Ling Yao took advantage of the darkness of night to leave the capital at high speed and head towards the frontier.
