Save the tragic villain in progress!

Zhao Su's situation is obviously extremely bad.The queen was so anxious that she still couldn't make it through that night. The news of her death due to illness came early the next morning.It stands to reason that all married women should enter the palace to worship the crying spirit, but the Emperor Zhou only ordered that everything should be kept simple, that he should wear plain clothes, and go to court for five days to express his grief.

On the evening when the Yan State Mission went to the banquet, Rong Xuan put on another disguise.He pasted a small row of black beards on the bronze mirror, and painted his face a little darker, making him look gray and unrecognizable in the crowd without looking carefully.

Ji Fan didn't know why Rong Xuan had to enter the palace, but he didn't say anything when he asked.It can't be because you like Zhao Su's beauty, so you want to see her demeanor, right?

Ji Fan handed a set of eunuch costumes to Rong Xuan: "Put it on, and later you will pretend to be an attendant and go to the banquet with Gu."

Rong Xuan glanced at the clothes, didn't pick them up, but raised his hand to touch the beard he had just glued on, and asked in a loud voice, "When did you see the eunuch president grow a beard?"

Ji Fan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that Rong Xuan put on a fake beard.He threw the eunuch's clothes aside, and stretched out his hand to tear off his fake beard: "The guards around Gu are all familiar faces, so I can only let you pretend to be an eunuch, so you can wear a beard."

Rong Xuan turned his head to prevent him from tearing it.He put his arms around Ji Fan's waist, took a step forward and put him directly against the desk, hooked his chin and asked with a low laugh, "You really expect your husband to become a eunuch?"

Ji Fan subconsciously wrapped his arms around his neck, thinking that Rong Xuan was talking nonsense again: "When did Gu say that he wanted you to become a eunuch?"

He wore a blue royal robe of the Yan clan, full of nobility, and more mundane than the usual white clothes and white shirt.

No matter what Ji Fan looked like, Rong Xuan was always moved.He couldn't help but kissed Ji Fan between the eyebrows, leaned over and kissed Ji Fan's lips, then slowly opened his teeth, and hooked the tip of his tongue to tease him.When they spoke, they separated slightly, and the warm breath sprayed on the neck, causing a slight itching: "That's right, if I become a eunuch, wouldn't Your Highness want to be a widow?"

Ji Fan's breath was a little flustered, and he held down his fidgeting hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "I've been talking nonsense all day, I'm not in shape, why don't you change your clothes quickly."

Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You really want me to pretend to be a eunuch?"

Taking advantage of Rongxuan's unpreparedness, Ji Fan tore off the beard on his face, slightly hooked his lips and said: "You are painted like a piece of black charcoal, and no one will recognize it when you come. It doesn't matter if the beard sticks or not. .”

Rong Xuan had no choice but to untie his belt, take off his outer shirt, and prepare to change into the eunuch uniform.However, with a casual glance, he found that Ji Fan was looking at him, so he stopped his movements and said deliberately: "I don't know how to wear eunuch clothes, come here and help me put them on."

Ji Fan wondered what the eunuch's clothes would not be like, and said pointedly: "Gu Ke has never served others to dress."

Rong Xuan: "Others are others, husband is husband, how can they be confused?"

The way he smiled was very confusing, and after he finished speaking, he hooked Ji Fan's hands, and his voice was low and ambiguous: "Come over, and help your husband get dressed?"

Ji Fan was confused by the smile in his eyes for a moment, and actually walked over by accident.When he realized it, he had already put on the outer shirt for Rong Xuan, and he couldn't help but pause slightly.

Rong Xuan opened his arms and looked down at Ji Fan who was wearing the belt for him. For some reason, he suddenly asked jokingly: "If His Highness really ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, wouldn't it be a capital crime to be beheaded if you are asked to serve and change clothes?"

Ji Fan flexibly tied the belt into a knot and tightened it tightly.Hearing this, he hooked his fingertips and pulled Rong Xuan directly in front of him. His eyelashes were slender and cast a shadow in front of his eyes: "Even if it is a capital crime, you have been presumptuous many times. Why are you afraid now?"

He stretched out his hand to straighten Rong Xuan's belt carefully, as if he was hugging him, and said in silence for a moment: "You are a lonely husband, why not dress for your husband...Rong Xuan, you don't have to be afraid, although the emperor He is the emperor, respected by thousands of people, and has the power of life and death, but it is just a title..."

It was the first time he cut his heart and lungs like this.

"Lonely, I don't have much love. Before I met you, the sun, the moon, and the stars were like clouds, and the beautiful mountains and rivers were like tombs. After I met you, the sun, the moon, and the stars are the real sun, the moon, and the stars, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are the real beautiful mountains and rivers..."

"Gu loves you first, and then loves all people. In Gu's heart, you are no less important than those ten thousand people."

Otherwise, how can a person who doesn't know how to love love others?

There are too many people who are torn apart because of power and position, and there are not a few people who turn against each other, especially the emperor's house.Although Ji Fan didn't know whether he could succeed in that path, he never hoped that it would create a estrangement with Rong Xuan.

While the candlelight was flickering, Rong Xuan's heart softened for an inexplicable moment.He held Ji Fan's hand on his waist, and hugged him into his arms without saying a word. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. In the end, he could only kiss the shallow line on Ji Fan's cheek. Shallow scars, thousands of words are hidden in this kiss.

But Ji Fan noticed the warmth on the side of his face, and was stunned for a moment, then reached out and tapped Rongxuan's blackened face with his fingertips: "You blackened Gu's face."

When Rong Xuan heard this, he looked carefully at Ji Fan's face, and as expected, he found that he had rubbed it a little dirty.He held up the other person's face, and gently wiped off the marks with his sleeve: "What are you afraid of, you are so handsome, it doesn't matter if you are darker."

The carriage was already waiting outside the mansion.Rong Xuan disguised himself as a little eunuch, followed Ji Fan into the carriage, one sat inside, and the other drove the carriage outside.

Rong Xuan is obviously not very good at driving. Fortunately, these horses are well-trained, otherwise it would be slippery in the dark, and it would not be impossible for them to fall into the ditch.Ji Fan sat on the outermost side and deliberately poked Rongxuan's back through the curtain.Rong Xuan didn't look back, but quietly reached into the curtain with one free hand, groped around, and then grabbed Ji Fan's knee.Immediately afterwards, she followed the trend and squeezed his leg through the clothes, before quickly withdrawing her hand.

That was Ji Fan's sensitive spot, where he was most ticklish.Rong Xuan only heard an imperceptible humming sound behind him, and then there was no movement, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Emperor Zhou held a banquet in Chonglin Hall today, and all important officials in the court were invited, including some alchemists, which only made people feel absurd.When Ji Fan entered the hall, he saw Yue Yuanting, the Prime Minister on the right, was already sitting at the banquet with the delegation. When they saw Ji Fan, they all got up to salute, and then sat down again.

Rong Xuan pretended to be an eunuch, followed behind Ji Fan with downcast eyes, glanced across the banquet inadvertently, and reminded in a low voice: "Zhao Su will come."

Ji Fan nodded silently, then sat down at the banquet, and was about to say something when he heard a burst of singing from outside, it turned out that it was Princess Yannian and her son-in-law who had arrived.

The queen passed away suddenly, Zhao Yannian was naturally grieved.Even though her face was covered with makeup, her eyes were still red and swollen, obviously from crying for a long time.Yan Fengchen, a half-baby, actually understood a little bit, and followed her side by side, with worried eyes.

Ji Fan waved away his attendants, and asked Rong Xuan to come forward to pour the wine with an excuse, and said in a low voice when no one else was paying attention: "Even the princess went to the banquet, but Zhao Su didn't see him, which shows that Emperor Zhou's anger is still there. Since the last time The prince's party has been greatly implicated, and even the Nalan Mansion has been neglected, so it may not be easy for you to see her."

Princess Changning and King Nalanchun of Ruling County are well-known princelings. After Zhao Er's identity was exposed, most of Nalan House's power in the court was also removed by Zhou Emperor, or relegated or transferred outside.

The Marquis Mansion in the East has collapsed, but Zhao Su was also severely damaged.

Rong Xuanwei frowned imperceptibly: "If you can't see clearly, then you can only find a way to meet secretly, let's see the situation first and then talk."

Yan Fengchen's full attention was on Zhao Yannian, and he forgot about the mission's arrival for a while.Seeing that Zhao Yannian's eyes were red, he bowed his head without saying a word, and took a piece of jujube cake from in front of him and handed it to her: "Do you want to eat?"

Zhao Yannian glanced at it, and started to cry again, sobbing and whispering: "I...I miss my mother..."

She has always been stupid, and the courtiers saw her crying, and it was not surprising.

Yan Fengchen frantically changed another piece of hibiscus cake: "Then, do you eat this?"

Zhao Yannian cried even more sadly: "Brother Huang...Brother Huang likes to eat hibiscus cake the most, but he doesn't eat, drink, talk or talk to me these days...Fengchen, don't they want it? I'm..."

While wiping her tears, she suppressed her voice, not even daring to cry loudly.Simple minds don't know what's going on.All I know is that Emperor Zhou was alienated suddenly, his mother passed away suddenly, and the always prudent prince brother seemed to be a different person.

Yan Fengchen was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and quickly reached out to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, even if they don't want you, I won't abandon you."

After he finished speaking, he saw small oranges in the fruit plate, grabbed another handful, lowered his head and began to peel the oranges seriously: "Don't cry, okay, I'll peel the oranges for you."

Yan Fengchen peeled off the peel in twos and was picking out the white network on the orange petals when he suddenly noticed an extremely sharp gaze on him from the opposite side. He frowned and looked up subconsciously, but saw that it was the Yan Kingdom Mission A big man with a black beard in the team trembled with fright, and the oranges rolled all over the ground——

foster father? ! !

Although Yan Fengchen was short-sighted, he was not blind. Of course, he couldn't be like Rong Xuan who couldn't recognize his own father standing in front of him.He was both respectful and afraid of Han Xiaoyun, and when he saw him, he froze on the spot, like a mouse seeing a cat with nails growing under its buttocks, no matter how hard it was to sit on.

It's over, why did the adoptive father come over suddenly and dress up like this, maybe he wants to take him back to Yan?

Yan Fengchen stared nervously at Han Xiaoyun, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was restless.But Han Xiaoyun didn't respond, he just frowned at Zhao Yannian, then at Yan Fengchen, and then looked away without emotion.

Ji Fan took this scene into his eyes and chuckled, feeling quite strange: "Yan Fengchen also has a day to deliver food for others, it really changed his temper."

Rong Xuan thought to himself, isn't it just peeling an orange, why is Ji Fan so envious?He followed suit, took an orange from the fruit plate, and threw it into Ji Fan's arms: "Your Highness, please eat."

Ji Fan glanced at him: "Aren't you going to peel it off for Gu?"

Rong Xuan forgot to wash his hands when he was driving, he looked down at his hands, and asked with a smile: "I have fed the horses with hay, are you sure you want me to peel them?"

Ji Fan naturally wouldn't let him strip.

After a while, there was a sudden rush of nervous footsteps from outside, followed by a eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice, shouting in a drawn-out tone: "Your Majesty is here—!"

Everyone tidied up their clothes and stood up to greet them: "The ministers and others kowtow to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

I haven't seen him for a while, and Emperor Zhou seems to have aged a lot. When he stepped in from outside the palace, his temples were obviously gray.Walked up to the high position and took a seat, waved his hands in disrespect: "Your honor is flat."

His first glance fell on Princess Yannian, and then he looked away uncomfortably, turned to the envoy of Yan State, raised his glass and said: "The envoy of Yan State came all the way to sacrifice the snow wolf, I will hold a banquet today to welcome you and wash away the dust, and I hope that the two countries will establish a century-old alliance."

Right Prime Minister Yue Yuanting immediately stood up and returned the salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty. My emperor has always admired the governance of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I would like to cultivate like-minded people forever and form a brotherly state. Since I entered the capital, I have seen the customs and customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty all the way. I really linger on it. No wonder there are many praises in the family letters of His Royal Highness, and there is quite a sense of joy and reluctance to miss Shu."

What he said was beautiful, not only praised Zhou Emperor, but also praised Zhou Guo.Inside and outside the words, there is no trace to remind Ji Fan that it is time to let Ji Fan go back to Yan.

Emperor Zhou didn't know if he heard the overtones, but he didn't respond.A few days ago, he heard the news that Emperor Yan was seriously ill, and the princes were vying for power, which caused turmoil in the court.Zhou and Yan are enemies but not friends. Emperor Zhou would not be so generous to send Ji Fan back to stabilize the situation. He just smiled and toasted a glass of wine: "Prince Yan likes the customs and customs of my dynasty, which is the best. Although the prince under my knees There are many, but no one is worry-free, on the contrary, Prince Yan, calm and steady, I feel a lot of emotion every time I see it, the right minister might as well stay a little longer, so that he can enjoy the famous places of interest in the capital."

Yue Yuanting was so clever, he knew that Emperor Zhou didn't want to let him go, it was useless to talk, so he shut up and said nothing.When he was seated, he glanced at Han Xiaoyun next to him without a trace, and sighed in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It seems that we have to find another good plan."

Emperor Yan's time is running out, one day of delay will be dangerous, even if the Empress Dowager keeps the funeral secret, they can't afford to delay.

Emperor Zhou's attitude was as expected by Ji Fan, so he was not surprised, but during the toast, he deliberately asked aloud: "Your Majesty, why do you only see Princess Yannian, but not the Crown Prince?"

When Emperor Zhou heard him mention Zhao Su, he paused slightly: "The empress passed away, and the crown prince was performing his filial piety before his death. I saw that he was thinking about his dead mother, so he must have no intention of having a banquet, so he was not allowed to come."

It turned out to be in the Queen's Palace.

A dark light flashed in Rong Xuan's eyes upon hearing this.He deliberately stepped forward to pour wine for Ji Fan, but accidentally knocked over the cup, and quickly bowed his head to plead guilty: "The slave should die."

Ji Fan knew that he was looking for Zhao Su, so he frowned imperceptibly, but he could only do what he could, and scolded him, "You are clumsy, what do you need, you don't have to wait by Gu's side, go out and wait."

Rong Xuan followed the trend and immediately withdrew from the hall.During the banquet, I don't know who made it up temporarily, and invited Emperor Zhou to see the demeanor of Xuelang.A dozen or so wolf trainers from Yan Guo had no choice but to carry a heavy iron cage covered with black cloth into the main hall, just passing by Rong Xuan.

When Rong Xuan heard the manic roar of the beast coming from the cage, he couldn't help but pause, but he didn't pay attention to it, and hurriedly left the hall and went to the queen's palace.

Rongxuan didn't know the way, but the queen passed away, and the coffin was stopped for ten days, and the master recited scriptures to save her.Amidst the sky-high red walls of the palace, the night is dark, only the Qixia Palace is full of sutras, white flags are fluttering, and paper money is floating all over the sky, which is inexplicably eerie and eerie.

The palace is the most well-informed place. Although the eunuchs and maids don't know what happened, they can also keenly sense Zhou Emperor's neglect and dislike of the prince, so their hearts are lazy and their faces are worried.

When Rong Xuan went in, he saw that the queen's palace was deserted, there were not many people on duty at all, only a group of mages wearing masks were singing and dancing in the courtyard.

There is a sealed golden nanmu coffin in the inner hall, and ice basins are placed around it, and people shiver from the cold as soon as they enter.Zhao Su didn't seem to feel anything, she knelt in front of the spirit in plain clothes, motionless like a statue, making it difficult to know what she was thinking.

The palace servants standing on the side wanted to persuade her to eat something, but they all refused, so they had to step back holding the food.

Rong Xuan took a stack of yellow paper from the corner of the palace wall and hugged it in his arms, pretending to burn the paper for the Queen's funeral, walked behind Zhao Su without a trace, and handed the stack of yellow paper to her.

Zhao Su didn't look back, and habitually wanted to reach out to take it, but suddenly heard a familiar male voice in his ears: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I never thought that things will change here. Things are different. Is His Royal Highness planning to trap the Queen's Palace?" Are you not going out for the rest of your life?"

Zhao Su's pupils contracted slightly when he heard the words, and subconsciously followed the sound, but saw an eunuch standing behind him at some point, with a faint outline of his face similar to Rong Xuan's.

Rong Xuan? !Why did he suddenly enter the palace? !

Zhao Su's fingertips tightened, almost tearing the yellow paper.At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, her complexion looked cloudy and uncertain under the light of the brazier, but in the end they were all calm.She threw the stack of yellow paper in her hand into the brazier, and in a cluster of suddenly rising flames, she stood up slowly while supporting her knees, and said with difficulty: "Come in with me—"

After speaking, he turned and went into the inner room beside him, and told others not to disturb him.

Rong Xuan followed her in, fearing that someone would eavesdrop, closed the door with his backhand, took off the eunuch hat on his head, and sighed: "I heard that the queen passed away suddenly the day before yesterday, and I ask His Royal Highness to express my condolences."

Zhao Su originally turned his back to him, but after hearing this, he finally turned around, raised his eyes to look at Rong Xuan, his figure became thinner a lot: "Mr. What do you mean, let’s speak bluntly.”

Rong Xuan smiled: "Your Highness is like this, but I don't know how to speak."

Zhao Su took a seat at the tea table, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups of warm tea: "If I want to persuade the emperor to let Prince Yan go back to the country, I am afraid that I will be powerless. With Gu's current situation, Not persuading is the best, if persuading, the emperor will only be angry with others because he dislikes Gu."

After she finished speaking, she put down the teapot, made a soft noise, and looked directly at Rong Xuan: "Nowadays, if Gu does nothing, he will help you, but if he does, he will harm you. Rong Xuan, do you understand?"

Rong Xuan didn't speak, lifted his robe and took a seat opposite: "But His Royal Highness said last time that he owed me a favor, I wonder if it counts now?"

Zhao Su laughed at herself: "Although Zhao Su is a woman, she has a lot of promises. It's just that this favor is too big, and Gu is weak now, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

Rong Xuan only said one sentence: "Help Ji Fan leave Yan, and bring his three thousand cavalry."

Zhao Su shook his head slightly: "Mr. Rong, I have said before, this is too much work, I can't help you, you can change it. While Gu is still in the position of prince, I still have the energy to help you, and when the emperor wastes the reserve in the future , I’m afraid I’ll be powerless.”

Rong Xuan said: "I have always believed that Your Highness has good ambitions, but why do you speak in a panic now, with the tendency to accept fate? Could it be that seeing the bumpy road ahead, you are retreating?"

Zhao Su paused slightly when he heard the words, and silently clenched his knees: "Sir, you don't need to provoke me with words. I am the prince of the Great Zhou, and everything is naturally put the country first. Letting Ji Fan leave Zhou is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. There will be endless troubles. Sir, I'd better go back." Bar."

Rong Xuan did not move: "If the third prince, Ji Yun, ascends the throne and sends troops to attack Zhou, what will His Highness do?"

Zhao Su was indifferent: "The third prince is reckless by nature, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Compared with Ji Fan, I would rather him ascend the throne as the emperor."

Rong Xuan asked back: "The third prince is reckless by nature, but Zhou Guo has not seen that there are talents. If it is difficult to stand on its own, what's the use of the enemy no matter how stupid it is?"

Zhou Guoxian has a lot of talents, but it's a pity that none of them can be reused.Zhao Su knows people well, but she doesn't hold power.

Rong Xuan chuckled again, and finally took a dose of strong medicine: "Your Majesty is now obsessed with the art of cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao. Don't say that Ji Yun is the emperor. Even if a three-year-old child ascends the throne, I am afraid that Zhou Kingdom will be destroyed soon. I am now I came here not only to help Ji Fan, but also to help you, Your Highness."

Zhao Su heard the implication, and slowly raised her eyes: "Help me? Help me for what?"

Rong Xuan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and met her eyes with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "You help Ji Fan leave Yan, and he helps you become the emperor—"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's womanhood has been exposed in front of the Emperor, and the Emperor will definitely not let you ascend the throne. There are only two ways to wait for His Highness in the future, either to be deposed, or to die suddenly...Of course, if His Highness is determined, there is no way to rebel. No, it's just that your majesty has eliminated most of your party members, so it is absolutely impossible for Xuanyuan Qing to accomplish anything."

"Even if Your Highness doesn't think about himself, he should also think about Princess Yannian. I don't need to say what will happen to a foolish princess if she has no one to protect her. There are not a few people who remarry and get married. You help Ji Fan leave Yan, and wait for him to ascend the throne. Emperor, isn’t it a sure thing to use the power of a whole country to help you ascend the throne?”

The night outside the window is dark, and there is a tendency of mountain rain and wind to fill the building.

As Rong Xuan said every word, the emotions in Zhao Su's eyes finally fluctuated a little. Her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and her voice was calm and composed: "Mr. He has never had any friendship, if he backed out after helping Ji Fan return to Yan, wouldn't Gu lose his wife and lose his army?"

Hit the nail on the head.

Rong Xuan frowned: "He's not that kind of person."

Zhao Su shook his head: "The emperor's power is the most charming, how do you know that he won't go back on his word?"

Rong Xuan looked up at Zhao Su: "You have no friendship with him, no matter how much I say, you won't believe me, I can't sign a contract as proof, let you help him leave Zhou?"

Zhao Su: "A paper contract may be effective for the merchant's gold and silver, but it is too light in front of Zhou and Yan. How can you make sure, sir, that Ji Fan will help the orphan become the emperor after he ascends the throne?"

Or,

"What precious thing can Ji Fan use as collateral?"

When she said this, her eyes quietly fell on Rong Xuan, with the exploration and consideration of a person in power.
