[Jian Wang III] Prosperous Tang Dynasty

The carriage was speeding through the narrow and dark alleys, and after a while, it left the West Market, crossed Zhuque Street, and drove to the East Market by another road.

Yin Yuanwei memorized every road in Chang'an City by heart, took the nearest trail and turned around, and soon saw the side entrance of Guangping Palace.

Cui Shi suddenly grabbed the hand of the hidden guard beside her, trembling slightly: "The palace has meticulous work, we can't...can't reveal the whereabouts of my princess!"

"Princess, don't worry." Yinwei comforted in a low voice, raised his hand and knocked on the door of the carriage.

The hidden guard who was driving the car also knocked on the car door in response, raised his arm and clasped his fingers, and shot a short arrow from the sleeve arrow tied to his forearm, knocking down the side door lantern with a whoosh, and the surroundings suddenly became darker.

The reins tightened suddenly, the horse neighed and stopped, the door clanged open, Yinwei quickly got out of the carriage with Cui in his arms, stepped on the horse's back, jumped onto the roof of the carriage, and sneaked into the palace.

Cui Shi lay quietly in her arms, trembling with pain from time to time, but never made a sound.

Sneaking silently into the inner courtyard, Cui looked up at the direction of her bedroom and shook her head vigorously.

can not go!

Taking a deep breath, Cui suppressed her voice, almost bleeding from her throat, and said, "Go to the left... the master bedroom in the Zhengbei courtyard!"

Yinwei turned around according to his words, and carried her to King Guangping's bedroom.

After avoiding the servants around, just after turning a corner, the door of the bedroom opened suddenly, and a person came out, just in time to face them.

Cui Shi suddenly relaxed, and the blood color of her skirt deepened a little, "Cu Lang..."

"Si Niang?" Li Chu who came out of the room was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to take Cui Shi, "Why aren't you in Cui's residence?"

"Someone hurt me...the only person around me I can trust is the nanny!" Cui gritted her teeth and said harshly, "soon... I'm going to give birth..."

Li Chu hugged her and turned back to the bedroom, and called his confidants, the whole palace was so busy that he didn't even notice that Yinwei who sent Cui Shi back had left.

Su Jixian and Lu Lingfeng had already returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, while Chen Yue was still tossing the medicinal materials, and the snacks they bought were placed in her room to eat after she finished her work.

Su Jixian is not worried about Chen Yue getting fat when eating snacks at night, he also thinks that Chen Yue is too thin and should gain weight.

There was still time, and he didn't intend to take a rest so soon, so he went to the study to deal with things first, and not long after he entered, someone came to report and a visitor came to visit.

"Guests? Only come to visit at night?" Su Jixian frowned. He was wearing only a loose robe after taking a shower, and his half-wet hair was loose and hung on his shoulders. When I hit it, I was inexplicably panicked.

The guard in dark gray bunt presented a small jade tablet, "Yes, he said that the master will know after reading this."

Lu Lingfeng took the jade tablet and presented it to Su Jixian.

The jade is the topaz, although it is precious, it is not very rare, and the engravings on it are a bit particular.

Su Jixian waved his hand, frowning slightly, "Ask him to go to the side hall."

"Yes."

Su Jixian stood up from the cushion, opened his arms, and Lu Lingfeng put the dark purple coat on him, carefully covering the neckline.

"Don't close it so tightly, hot." He frowned and pulled his neckline, revealing a beautiful section of collarbone, then put on a mask and clogs, and walked out of the study to the side hall.

The cold touch of his fingertips still remained on the back of Lu Lingfeng's hand, so she sighed and followed behind him.

Stepping on the corridor, the red sandalwood clogs made a crisp knocking sound, which was very regular, which contrasted with the singing of insects in the flowers and plants.

The half-hidden door of the side hall was pushed open by a slender white hand, and a handful of moonlight flowed in from outside the door like water and gauze, sprinkled on the wide sleeves of the man in black in the room, the embroidery pattern flashed dimly, and jumped out. A faint golden awn.

"King Jianning."

Hearing this, the man in Xuanyi stood up, half of his body was under the light, his face was as sharp and deep as if carved by a knife and an axe, his eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were deep and narrow, and he was so handsome that he was almost domineering.

"I just came to disturb the national teacher at night, please forgive me." He cupped his hands and waited for Su Jixian to sit down opposite him before taking his seat.

"It doesn't matter. What is the reason for King Jianning's visit?"

"It is a matter of the safety of the Tang Dynasty." Li Tan's figure sank into the darkness again, his voice was deep and deep, and he had the dignity and magnificence of being in a high position all the year round. People, so they came boldly and asked the national teacher for help."

"Oh?"

"Hu'er is in the capital now, and he doesn't bring many soldiers and guards. If he can be put under house arrest in Beijing, it will be much easier to disintegrate his power, and the country's crisis can be resolved without soldiers." Li Tan said, "As far as I know, Prime Minister Yang has already I plan to hand over the booklet and ask the saint to put Hu'er under house arrest, if the national teacher also said a few words in front of the saint, I think the matter will be more secure."

Su Jixian was silent, with his cold hands folded in his sleeves, as quiet as a carefully carved and polished jade sculpture.The deep purple brocade clothes poured down along the soft and smooth outline of his body, and spread on the cushion, as if even the night that filled the sky flowed and spread from it.

He is thinking.

Neither Yang Guozhong nor Li Tan went to An Lushan's dust-cleaning banquet. It seems that they didn't get any news about Yan Zhenqing's assassination, and they didn't know that An Lushan was assassinated in Huaqing Pool.

It would be great if this assassination was successful, but it is more likely to be a failure.It is impossible for An Lushan not to take the opportunity to ask Xuanzong for tricks. If he wrote to Xuanzong to put An Lushan under house arrest at this time, he might be jealous of Xuanzong instead.

But as Li Tan said, if An Lushan can stay in the capital, many things will be easier to handle.

Gee, what a hassle.

The brows under the mask were slightly frowned, Su Jixian slowly turned the silver fox ring on his index finger, his fingertips gently caressing the ring.

Li Tan didn't speak any more, just sat quietly, waiting for his reply.

"King Jianning didn't enter the palace today, right?" He suddenly said, but what he said was not the reply Li Tan imagined, "Do you know that An Lushan didn't attend today's banquet on time?"

Li Tan was taken aback for a moment, his eyebrows frowned and he began to think.

Su Jixian quietly looked at this man who was ten years older than him but was his junior in terms of blood, and said, "Before I left the banquet, I saw a few… disciple."

Li Tan suddenly understood, his thoughts changed, and he suddenly got up and bowed his hands, "Xie Guoshi told me that my request just now, I thought about coming to the Guoshi, and I was reckless. I will resign first, and I feel very sorry for disturbing the Guoshi. Officially come to the door to apologize."

"Prince Jianning is polite." Su Jixian raised his hand, his words were indifferent, a little cold, but it was also the attitude of Yunjing Guoshi.

Li Tan didn't stay any longer, took the cloak and put it on his body, put on the hood, covering most of his face, turned around and went out, and quickly disappeared into the thick night.

Su Jixian sat in the side hall for a while, sighed, feeling a little tired, and lost the intention to continue dealing with things.

When he was about to get up and go back to the bedroom, his mind suddenly sank, and his eyes were blurred for a moment, which made him shake uncontrollably.

"Young Master?" Lu Lingfeng supported him, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, her eyes worried, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"...Maybe I'm tired." Su Jixian took off his mask, pressed his brows, felt his head was a little heavy, especially dizzy when he blinked, so he simply closed his eyes, "Help me back, just sleep."

Lu Lingfeng leaned over, stretched one arm behind his knee, and hugged him up.

Su Jixian lay in his arms as if he was asleep, completely motionless, until Lu Lingfeng carried him back to the bedroom and put him on the bed, then he suddenly trembled, his brows furrowed tightly, and even his breathing stopped for a moment.

"Sir?"

He clutched his chest and slowly lay on his side, his slender body curled up and trembling slightly, "...pain..."

Startled, Lu Lingfeng quickly opened the bedside table and took out the medicine bottle inside, uncorked the bottle and poured out a pure white pill, and leaned over to feed Su Jixian.

The pill melted in his mouth, and Su Jixian only felt an indescribable bitterness in his mouth in addition to the pain, warm and hot, flowing from the tip of his tongue to his chest, suppressing the severe pain bit by bit.

He didn't know how long it took before the severe pain was completely suppressed, his chest was still a little stuffy, his breathing gradually became steady, and returned to the usual lightness and longness, only his body was still trembling slightly, and the pain from just now remained.

It wasn't until he completely regained his composure that he let go of the hand that was tightly gripping his skirt, and gently placed it on the bed.

Seeing that he was so tired that he seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, Lu Lingfeng repeatedly confirmed that he was fine, then took off his gloves, ran his hands along the hem of his clothes, and touched his back. Cover him with a thin blanket.

Su Jixian quickly fell asleep, Lu Lingfeng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him for a while, then walked out of the room lightly, closing the door behind him.

A gray-clothed hidden guard immediately turned over from under the eaves, his nimble figure was like a kite, barely making a sound.

"News came from the palace that An Lushan was assassinated in Huaqing Pool and was slightly injured. The assassin escaped from the palace and is being arrested."

"Sure enough... what happened to Qinghao?"

"all the best."

"That's good. Go down first, the young master has already rested, and I will talk to him when the young master gets up tomorrow."

"Yes."

Yinwei cupped his hands and rushed up to the roof, his figure hidden under the night.

Lu Lingfeng turned around and returned to Su Jixian's bedroom, walked to the bed, picked up the little fox that was trying to crawl into Su Jixian's arms, put it at the end of the bed, and tapped its forehead with her fingertips.

The little fox looked up at him, flicked its big fluffy tail, and curled up into a fluffy snow-white fox ball in aggrieved way. Its pointed face was hidden in its tail, and it slept with its eyes closed.

Looking at Su Jixian who was sleeping exceptionally deeply, Lu Lingfeng leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, went to the table and lit the medicinal incense, and then took out a small bamboo stick from the secret pocket.

The bamboo stick doesn't seem to be a simple bamboo stick, at least the material is not quite the same as bamboo, and the luster that flows under the lamp is more like some kind of tooth or bone.

Lu Lingfeng took off the earring from his left ear, and twisted it in his fingers, but the subtle sound of the mechanism starting could not be heard.

The black earrings were engraved on the bamboo stick, with shallow traces, and the white lines were twisted and folded to form characters different from the Central Plains, but the bamboo stick as big as half a finger was quickly engraved with densely packed characters.

After the engraving was finished, Lu Lingfeng put the earrings back on the earlobes, and carefully hid the bamboo sticks on the white cat's collar.

The white cat was sitting on the table, with its small head up, showing the collar hidden in its snow-white neck fur to facilitate its owner's movements. After being patted on the back by him, it got up and jumped out of the window, stepping on the branches to jump Go to the roof and run away.

Cats like to run around, and its whereabouts did not alarm anyone, and no one would guess the purpose of a cat running around.

Seeing the white cat's figure disappear among the rising and falling roofs, Lu Lingfeng gently closed the window, leaving a not-so-wide gap, then took off her coat and lay down on the soft couch beside the bed, closing her eyes.

The white cat that ran out of the Guoshi Mansion reappeared in the yard of a restaurant in Xishi City. The door of the innermost room in the yard was ajar. A beautiful woman with delicate skin but not very fair was eating small dried fish. Beside her was a black cat. The blue-eyed cat is eating fish-flavored snacks.

The white cat jumped in from the window, stepped on the lamp post, jumped onto the table, and meowed at the woman.

"Huh? Qiuqiu?" Lu Zhi, who was eating dried fish, blinked, pulled the handkerchief to wipe his hands clean, looked outside, and only after making sure that the cat was alone, hugged Qiuqiu in his arms.

Qiuqiu flicked its tail up and down, and raised its little head.

Lu Zhi untied the thing hidden on its collar, squinted his eyes, looked carefully at the light, and clicked his tongue.

"Lingfeng's request is really strange... Forget it, it's not too difficult anyway. Qiuqiu, will you stay with me tonight or go back to Lingfeng's place? Taotao misses you very much."

After Qiuqiu finished eating a piece of fish-flavored snack that Taotao pushed to him, his pointed ears shook, his tail flicked, and he jumped onto the window sill.

Lu Zhi snorted, "Then you go."

Qiuqiu meowed, turned and left the yard.
