homecoming

Tie Huan was the first to rush to Tang Fei, who was looking at the wall with a deep thought.

"My lord, have you seen the face of that assassin?" Tie Huan asked anxiously. He has kept Fengqi Pavilion's defenses tight for the past few days. Unexpectedly, this assassin can break through so many lines of defense without anyone noticing. Entered Yuanfei courtyard.If he hadn't noticed something strange with his sharp eyes and hurried over with someone, Mr. "Fang Lin" might have met with misfortune!

"I didn't see clearly, his lightness kung fu is stronger than Feng Chenying." Tang Fei frowned, thought for a while and said, "I don't think he is an assassin."

"What?" Tie Huan was taken aback, and asked, "Young Master, what did you say? Isn't that man an assassin?"

"Although I haven't seen his real face, I can be sure that he is not masked." Tang Fei said that the previous group of people were all masked, but this person was not. "Also, I don't feel that person has any murderous intent, or even a hint of malice. He should have been standing here for a long time, but he hasn't done anything. It's unreasonable."

"No murderous intent?" Tie Huan was puzzled after hearing Tang Fei's words, "Master, are you sure you have no impression of that person."

"No." Tang Fei shook his head, "However, he said something strange to me before he left."

"What?" Tie Huan asked in a deep voice.

"He told me to take good care of him." Tang Fei thought to himself, the "he" that person said should refer to Feng Chenying, right?But, what is the relationship between this mysterious person and Feng Chenying?

On the other hand, Tie Huan's expression changed suddenly after hearing Tang Fei's words, and he wondered, could it be that one?No, it's impossible, it's impossible for him to come out, how could he be willing to abandon him and come here after a long sleep?

"My lord, please don't tell the pavilion master what happened tonight, this sentence is only known to you and me, so don't let the third person know!"

Tang Fei was taken aback, seeing Tie Huan's serious face, although he didn't know what happened, he still solemnly said "OK".

"Tang Fei, Tang Fei?" It may be that the movement outside was too loud, waking up Feng Chenying, who was still asleep, calling Tang Fei's name loudly.

"Hush!" Tang Fei made a silent gesture to Tie Huan and the others, and then shouted towards the door: "I'm coming!" Turning his head to Tie Huan, he said silently, "Leave quickly, try not to say anything. sound."

Tie Huan knew that Tang Fei was afraid that Tang Fei would be worried, so he nodded and left quietly with his subordinates.

Tang Fei casually put the tub aside, and then entered the house.

"What's going on? I seem to hear it's noisy outside." Feng Chenying had already sat up and asked Tang Fei with her head tilted.

"I accidentally dropped the wooden tub on the ground. The guards thought something happened so they came in to take a look. I have explained it clearly." Tang Fei stepped forward to help Feng Chenying lie back down again, "It's okay, go to sleep Come on, I'm right by your side."

"En." Feng Chenying replied softly, but her hand tightly held Tang Fei's hand, and she didn't let go until she fell asleep again.

Tang Fei looked at Feng Chenying's sleeping face, and his frowning brows contained deep worry. Who is that mysterious person?Does he know Feng Chenying?

However, something unexpected happened again!

On the fifth day of March, the third day after the assassination of Feng Chenying, the owner of Fengxi Pavilion, the virtuous king Qin Yan was assassinated while accompanying the princess on an outing. In order to protect the princess, the virtuous king was slightly injured. The princess fainted from fright, and nearly ten people were killed or injured , a total of five assassins in the ambush were wiped out.On the same day, King Fu encountered five assassins on his way to the palace to meet the saint, and the guards around him tried their best to protect them. Although they killed all the assassins, King Fu was still seriously injured.

As soon as this incident happened, the government and the public were shocked. Longyan, the current body sage, was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the incident.However, something even more unbelievable was found on the ten mysterious black-clothed assassins—the token of the Prince's Mansion!The courtiers were in an uproar again!

In the early morning of the sixth day of March, the emperor sent five hundred imperial guards to surround the prince's mansion.No one in the prince's mansion resisted, the prince Qin Yi calmly even got into the carriage sent by the emperor with a smile on his face, and before leaving, he said goodbye to Chunyu Jue very intimately, telling him not to worry.After the prince entered the palace, he was directly placed under house arrest in Youhua Palace (Lenggong) without any interrogation or torture.

Up to this point, no one in the court dared to stand up to speak or intercede for the prince, not even the prince's biological mother, Huang Ye's empress Qi Shi, had ever shown her face, let alone said a good word for her son in front of the emperor.All the ministers were discussing that the crown prince is a failure now. The empress’s mother’s family is Qi Zixuan, the late emperor’s lord Taifu. Qi's only daughter married her own prince. It can be said that the Qi family is the empress handpicked by the former emperor for the current emperor.

However, some people said that even if the prince really did something to harm his siblings, the emperor would not dare to do anything to the prince.When the first emperor was alive, he loved the current crown prince Qin Yi very much, and he even taught things like enlightenment teaching personally.I still remember that when Qin Yi was only three years old, he was ignorant and shouted that the first emperor should "ride a horse". Everyone knelt down in horror and coaxed little Qin Yi not to do such a rebellious thing.But the first emperor smiled at everyone indifferently, and then he really carried little Qin Yi on his back and knelt on the ground like a horse and walked around the palace, which shows how much the first emperor loved Qin Yi.It is said that when the first emperor passed away, in order to protect the young Qin Yi from being murdered in a palace coup, Qin Yi was left with a way to save his life.This statement came from a personal servant who served the first emperor back then. Although its authenticity needs to be investigated, it may not be false, right?

The voices in the court changed rapidly, but many officials, large and small, had expressed their positions and became part of the Wise King Party.Only a very small number of old courtiers who were formerly taught by Qi Taifu or who were loyal to the late emperor expressed their disdain for the Xianwang Party. Although they did not express their views on this matter, they still stood by Qin Yi's side.

Even Tang Fei, who stays at home, felt the shock in the court these days.Although he doesn't go out, there are always people in Fengxi Pavilion who want to go out, don't they?Those cooks who were allowed to go out to buy vegetables and buy grain and oil, went around the city a few times and found out all the things they had missed these days. As soon as they returned to the pavilion, they began to gossip. The news of the prince's house arrest spread throughout the pavilion.

Tang Fei heard about this when he was taking medicine for Feng Chenying. It had been several days since the crime happened, and Qin Yi had been under house arrest in the palace for five days.

After feeding Feng Chenying with the medicine and soup supplements of various sizes, Tang Fei told Feng Chenying what happened outside while wiping Feng Chenying's hands (it's been very smooth after doing this for several days).At the end, Tang Fei stopped his hands, and said with a thoughtful face, "Do you think Qin Yi really did this?"

Feng Chenying's expression was a little surprised. Although she couldn't see Tang Fei's face, she still habitually turned to Tang Fei and said, "What do you think?"

"I think," Tang Fei pondered for a while, and then said, "If we were the only ones attacked, it's very likely that it was Qin Yi. However, it is doubtful that the successive assassinations have all pointed to the Prince's Mansion. If it is said that the first time Lan Zixiang accidentally left the token of the Prince's Mansion, it is still reasonable, but the two subsequent assassinations left the token of the Prince's Mansion... The first time was careless, The second time was deliberate, let alone the third time? Other than someone trying to frame Qin Yi, I can't think of a second possibility." Speaking of this, Tang Fei suddenly thought of the mysterious person a few days ago, could it be him who did it?But if he wanted to kill Feng Chenying, why did he have to take good care of him?Tang Fei didn't express the doubt in his heart. Tie Huan said that Feng Chenying couldn't let Feng Chenying know about it.

After listening to Tang Fei's guess, Feng Chenying's face was not relaxed but even more heavy.Tang Fei was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

"No, I'm afraid because most of your guesses are right." Feng Chenying bluntly expressed her feelings.

"What do you mean?" Tang Fei was even more puzzled, "Are you afraid that someone will harm us again?"

"Hey!" Feng Chenying sighed deeply, stretched out her hand to caress Tang Fei's face based on feeling, gently stroking his smooth skin, and said: "I'm not afraid of this, I, Feng Chenying, even if this I've been blind all my life, and there are not many people in this world who can kill me. What I'm afraid of is that the more you know, the less you can get out of this muddy water. You shouldn't have been involved It's..." Feng Chenying really regretted it when she said this. If she had known that things would be out of her control, she shouldn't have involved Tang Fei. Even if it was really unavoidable, he should still be careful. protect him!

Tang Fei was taken aback, is that so?I remember that He Xi said this to him a long time ago, asking him to go as far as possible... Go?Tang Fei raised his eyes and stared at Feng Chenying's pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of gray fog, gloomy and dull.If he really left...if he really returned to the 21st century on the day of Qingming, Feng Chenying, what should I do?It was less than 20 days before Qingming Festival, and the days passed day by day, but he and Feng Chenying kept silent about leaving as if they had made an appointment.

To go, or—to stay?

"Don't worry, I'm not going to ask for trouble, and Qin Yi must have kept his back, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm and composed." Tang Fei took Feng Chenying's hand and started to clean up the dishes.Originally, there was Mo Zhu waiting by his side, but Tang Fei was worried about leaving You'er to others, so he asked Mo Zhu to take care of him, and then he came to take care of Feng Chenying himself.Feng Chenying didn't have any objections at all, he wished that Tang Fei would surround him every day.

"By the way, Feier, I want to eat osmanthus cake and peanut cake from Fanghua Building, can you go and buy some for me?" Feng Chenying suddenly reached out and grabbed Tang Fei's sleeve, and said to Tang Fei with a flattering smile.

Hearing the word "Fei'er", the corners of Tang Fei's mouth twitched, and he said in a stiff voice, "Okay."

Ever since Tang Fei took the initiative to help Feng Chenying with his hands that night, Feng Chenying suddenly seemed to be a different person. The main manifestation was that she became very coquettish when facing Tang Fei, and she was always eager to cling to Tang Fei together.There is also a change of address, from "Tang Fei" with the same name and surname to "Fei Er". Tang Fei couldn't stand the overly feminine "nickname". With a heartbroken face, he lowered his head and said in great disappointment: "Don't you like it? I just want to make our relationship more intimate..." With that sad look, even those gray eyes There was disappointment in his eyes, and Tang Fei let him go as soon as his heart softened.Isn't it just a title?He can call it whatever he likes, so he won't argue so much with a little guy!Then, under Feng Chenying's stalking and pitiful pretending to be obedient, Tang Fei also gave in to Feng Chenying's wishes and called him "Chenying".

"Call Mo Zhu, you don't like me secretly sending someone to follow you, at least go out and bring Mo Zhu with you now so that I can feel at ease." Feng Chenying urged again.

"Understood." Tang Fei replied helplessly. In fact, he knew that Feng Chenying had good intentions and asked him to go out to buy snacks just incidentally. The most important thing was that Feng Chenying wanted him to go out to get some air.Bored in Yuanfei Courtyard for several days, Tang Fei's complexion turned bad.

After Tang Fei went out, after a while, the gentle smile on Feng Chenying's face slowly disappeared, replaced by gloomy coldness.

"Ask Tie Huan to bring someone here." A voice without a trace of warmth sounded, and a dull voice in the dark replied: "Yes!"

The dark guard led away, and not long after, Tie Huan brought Qin Yan into Yuanfei Courtyard.At the same time, Tang Fei led Mo Zhu just out of Fengqi Pavilion.

"Chenying!" As soon as she entered Yuanfei Courtyard, Qin Yan pushed Tie Huan in front of her and rushed straight into Feng Chenying's bedroom.Seeing that Feng Chenying's right shoulder was covered with bandages and her left palm was in the same condition, her eyes turned red and she almost shed tears.

Feng Chenying frowned and thought to herself, this "Chenying" is more pleasing to the ear than his Fei'er!

"Chen Ying, what's wrong with your eyes?!" Qin Yan exclaimed, stretched out her hand in disbelief and shook Feng Chen Ying's eyes, Feng Chen Ying's unfocused eyes remained motionless.

"You, you can't see?" Qin Yi slumped down on the edge of the bed, his handsome face was full of pain and self-blame, he covered his mouth tightly and choked up, "How could this be..."

Feng Chenying sighed lightly, stretched out her hand to pat Qin Yan lightly, and comforted her: "Xiaoyan, don't be like this..."

"I'll go and invite the imperial physician for you. The imperial physician in the palace is very skilled in medicine and has many rare medicinal materials. You must be able to see it! You must be able to!" Qin Yan was already in tears, and she hurriedly got up as she spoke. Enter the palace and ask the imperial doctor.

"Qin Yan!" Feng Chenying shouted, Qin Yan was startled, and looked at Feng Chenying blankly with tears in his eyes, he rarely yelled at himself by name.

"Sit down." With a tone that could not be refused, Qin Yan sat down subconsciously.

"I can't see it for the time being. After a while, I will be able to see it after the residual poison clears up." Feng Chenying explained patiently.

Qin Yan's face brightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Really? Is there really no problem? Or I'd better ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

"It's really not necessary, you still can't believe Gu Yang's medical skills?" After Feng Chenying finished speaking, she changed the topic and asked with a faint air: "What's the matter with you and King Fu being assassinated one after another?"

Qin Yan was taken aback, took out the brocade handkerchief in her bosom to wipe away the tears on her face, she had already calmed down, and answered Feng Chenying calmly: "Oh, that's the matter. It was Qin Yi who attacked you first, since His people are so careless, so I borrowed the token he left behind and used it."

"I've already guessed that these two things have something to do with you." Feng Chenying said with a touch of helplessness, "You have found out that the person who ambushed me is from the Prince's Mansion?"

"That's right." Qin Yan said with her usual smile, "I've already found out the identity of that Lan Zixiang. He is a spy sent by the Prince's Mansion to Fengxi Pavilion. I also found out that last time He also instigated the wife of the South Courtyard to do the 'hook kiss' thing. It seems that they have planned to assassinate you for a long time." Qin Yan was sure that Feng Chenying would not be able to entrust the matter to him to investigate. He will send someone to investigate secretly again, Feng Chenying's trust in him is beyond doubt.Qin Yan looked at Feng Chenying's very handsome face, there was obsession and love in her eyes, and more of a calculation that was determined to win.When he came, he heard from Tie Huan that the male pet named "Fang Lin" was too cowardly and incompetent on the day of the assassination, which made Feng Chenying very unhappy. He went to the village and became a stable groom. Although this news still couldn't relieve his hatred, it also made him feel good!

"I remember telling you once, don't mess around before you know Qin Yi's details, your move is too risky!"

"So what? Soldiers are expensive. Although my move was dangerous, it also put him under house arrest! Moreover, the emperor called me into the palace yesterday, and clearly told me that he would depose me and make me the crown prince." meaning!" Qin Yan's words were full of complacency, and he stretched out his hand to hold Feng Chenying's right hand, and said affectionately: "Chenying, if I ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, this world will be shared with you! I, It's yours too!"

If it was in the past, Feng Chenying would be very happy to hear this sentence.But now, his heart was already on Tang Fei, and he didn't feel disgusted by Qin Yan's promise.

Feng Chenying was a little lacking in interest, and smiled reluctantly: "Yes. But now, I still have to guard against Qin Yi. He is too calm in this matter, I think he should save his hand, you have to take care of yourself these few days Pay attention to the movements of Qin Yi's confidants."

Qin Yan was a little disappointed with Feng Chenying's reaction, didn't Chenying always want him?Why did he not look happy when he made such a promise now?Is it hurt, too tired?Qin Yan shook off the doubts in her heart, and replied: "Naturally, I cut off Chunyu Jue's military power on the day I surrounded the Prince's Mansion. As for that He Xi, he is just a small counselor and can't cause much trouble. But For safety's sake, I still sent someone to keep an eye on them."

Feng Chenying nodded, this is, Tie Huan who was waiting outside the door suddenly knocked on the door and said: "Master, Gu Yang is here."

Qin Yan was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Gu Yang is here, I should go too, I can't stand his weird temper." Then she got up.

At this time, Gu Yang opened the door and came in. Seeing Qin Yan actually there, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a virtuous king? I really didn't come at the right time!" Gu Yang said to Feng Chenying: "Pavilion Master , do you want me to avoid it?"

"No, no, this king is going back too, Doctor Gu should show Chen Ying a good look!" Qin Yan hurriedly stopped him, although he didn't like Gu Yang very much, Gu Yang didn't seem to want to see him either.But who told someone to be good at medicine, whether Feng Chenying's eyes could see or not depended on him!Qin Yan would not be so stupid as to delay showing Feng Chenying's eyes because of a moment of anger.Qin Yan turned around again and bowed her head and whispered in Feng Chenying's ear: "I will come to see you again." Then she got up and smiled politely at Gu Yang, and left.

After Qin Yan left, Gu Yang let out a snort, and said to Feng Chenying angrily, "Don't use me as an excuse if you don't want to stay with him! Your broken eyes are worth my visit twice a morning." What?!"

"Okay, hurry up when people leave, you think I want to stay with you! I'm still waiting for my Xiao Feier's dessert!" Feng Chenying replied unceremoniously.

"You, you, you!" Gu Yang trembled angrily, grabbed the medicine box and shouted: "In the future, this virtuous king will bother you, even if you beg me to help you escape, I will not come!" After finishing speaking, he was also annoyed Before he left, he didn't forget to close the door for him.

The room became quiet all of a sudden, Feng Chenying leaned on the bed and smiled mockingly, "Qin Yan, Qin Yan, please don't let me down on you!
