Dawn was breaking, and half of the sky was covered with orange-red clouds, and the cold wind made the clothes rattle.

A Niu led more than a dozen guards from the Marquis Mansion, and surrounded the carriage with strict guards.

Shen Mian's sight was blocked by Xiang Tianqi, unable to see the situation outside, so she asked, "Brother Wei?"

Hearing his familiar tone, Xiang Tianqi looked inexplicable, and suddenly let out a low laugh.

"Brother Wei? Do you know that your brother Wei is a traitor?"

Shen Mian was taken aback for a moment, he pushed Xiang Tianqi away, opened the curtain, and called out, "Brother Wei, run away—"

After only calling out, Xiang Tianqi dragged him back into the carriage and covered his lips.

Xiang Tianqi looked into his panicked eyes, and was very happy, "Escape? How could he escape when you are here."

Shen Mian frowned and looked at him.

Xiang Tianqi smiled lowly and said: "I originally thought that the person you like is Yuncheng, but it's not. I thought you were cold and indifferent, and you are a gentleman's friend to everyone, but it's not like that."

"Are you in love with Yunting?"

Shen Mian said: "It has nothing to do with you."

Xiang Tianqi nodded slightly, and said slowly: "It has nothing to do with me."

He repeated these four words again in a low voice, his expression was extremely indifferent, as if he didn't care, after a while, the pretended indifference disappeared completely, and his eyes became extremely ferocious.

He raised his hand suddenly, dragged Shen Mian into his arms, strangled his delicate jaw, and bit hard on those two plump lips, a few drops of blood immediately oozed from the slightly red and swollen lips.

Xiang Tianqi sucked and kissed his lips fiercely, even the blood was sweet for this goblin in his arms, which could seduce people's hearts.

Shen Mian was forced to raise her head to kiss him, honey dripped down the corners of her lips, her lips were so kissed that she almost lost consciousness, he pushed Xiang Tianqi away forcefully, panting, and said angrily : "You are crazy."

He raised the back of his hand and wiped his lower lip, but there was no blood, it was all his own saliva.

Xiang Tianqi said: "I'm telling you whether it has anything to do with me or not."

"..."

"You have lived as part of the Shen family for 18 years. This is your life, Huai'er. In your life, you can only enter my Shen family's tomb until you die."

Ignoring Shen Mian's confused expression, he grabbed his slender wrist and led him off the carriage.

The boy's hair was disheveled, his lips were abnormally bright red, still glowing with water, and he followed behind Xiang Tianqi weakly. Anyone with eyes knew what happened in the carriage just now.

The man opposite was tall and straight, dressed in black, with black hair flying, he clenched his fists, and under the silver mask, his cold and hard face was stained with a strong murderous look.

Seeing him, Shen Mian said urgently, "Brother Wei, run away, Huai'er begs you."

Wei Ting said, "Why did you run away?"

"You don't know Shen Qi. He has cunning and cunning methods to lure you out of the city. There must have been an ambush."

Xiang Tianqi was not annoyed when he heard him comment on himself like this, but instead bent his thin lips in a slightly pleasant arc.

Wei Ting looked at Shen Mian fixedly, but said something irrelevant.

"You've lost a lot of weight."

Shen Mian was taken aback, thinking what time it was, and also said that there were none of these things, what would I do with my mission if you died.

He lowered his eyebrows and said: "Brother Wei is joking, I am living a good life, how can I lose weight?"

Wei Ting stared at his bitten red lips, his heart filled with hostility, he said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry too much, just tell me if Shen Qi forced you."

Xiang Tianqi's expression turned cold.

"Yun Ting, your grandfather Wei Minghai refused to hand over the Tiger Talisman, and has conspired against him in Jinzhou. You are an accomplice. The imperial court has issued a arrest warrant. As long as you can be caught, life or death will not matter."

Wei Ting said, "Just try."

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of people ambushed all around opened their bows and aimed at the man in black in the center.

Shen Mian was startled, and hurriedly tugged on Xiang Tianqi's sleeve to plead: "You know he is innocent, otherwise you wouldn't tell me that story, please forgive him this time, Tianqi..."

Xiang Tianqi looked down at him and said, "You haven't called me like that for a long time, but it's because of others."

Shen Mian said: "He is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is His Majesty's direct bloodline. Now His Majesty is in a fit of anger, so he issued the arrest warrant. If he knows the truth, he will definitely hold you accountable."

Xiang Tianqi said: "Huai'er, Your Majesty can't hold anyone accountable, he was poisoned and he won't live for seven days."

He said the last two sentences close to Shen Mian's ear, his voice was extremely soft, but as if poisoned, Shen Mian froze.

He looked at Xiang Tianqi in amazement, with uncertainty and fear in his eyes.

Xiang Tianqi caressed his cheek, and said calmly: "Don't look at me like this. Although I am bad, I won't do such things to punish the nine clans. I want to save this life so that I can take care of you."

"Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Xiang Tianqi fell silent.

Shen Mian's fingers trembled a little, this was the first time he felt deeply that this was a backward feudal society.

He forced himself to calm down, and said seriously: "Tianqi, you let Brother Wei go, or I will die too, it's true."

Hearing what he said, Xiang Tianqi laughed out of anger.

"What Huai'er means is that if he dies, you won't live alone?"

"..."

——Sorry, I accidentally laughed out loud 233333

——Wei Dang was fed a mouthful of candy

Suddenly there was a piercing sound, and before Shen Mian recovered, a sharp arrow shot from nowhere and shot straight at his chest.

"Huai'er—"

"Huai'er!!"

I don't know who is calling him, and then a strong force protects him in his arms, and there is a muffled hum in his ear, Shen Mian is confused, why doesn't it hurt at all, is he already dead?

Raising his eyes, Xiang Tianqi was looking at him and smiling, and then, a bright red slowly flowed from the corner of this man's lips.

Shen Mian nana said: "You, you are bleeding..."

He lowered his head, the snow-white fox fur was dyed red, blood flowed from Xiang Tianqi's chest, it was warm and smelled like blood.

He stretched out his hand to cover the wound, but blood flowed out from between his fingers, scarlet as far as he could see.

Xiang Tianqi held his red-stained finger, wiped off the blood little by little with his sleeve, brought it to his lips, and kissed it vigorously, "Don't get your hands dirty."

After finishing speaking, he gently closed his eyes.

As soon as Xiang Tianqi fell, the scene was completely chaotic.

Half of the archers in the Hou Mansion's ambush were Wei Ting's men, and the two sides fell into a scuffle. These people were soldiers who followed Wei Minghai in bloody battles and fought on the battlefield. The guards of Yongle Hou Mansion were completely vulnerable.

A Niu led Xiang Tianqi and Shen Mian to cut a bloody path through the crowd. He was indeed unparalleled in bravery, and Wei Ting himself did not gain the upper hand even if he attacked himself.

Seeing that Xiang Tianqi's breathing weakened, Shen Mian hurriedly shouted: "Enough! Don't beat him anymore, he will die."

Wei Ting said, "He deserves to die."

Shen Mian said: "He saved me, let him go."

Wei Ting looked at him, his eyes that were usually cold and cold, now had a stern look, making people dare not refute.

He said: "If I don't agree."

Without saying a word, Shen Mian pulled out the dagger from Xiang Tianqi's waist, and pressed it against his neck, a bloodstain immediately appeared on his slender and fair neck.

——Fuck me, don't shake your hands! !

——Ah, don’t hurt yourself qwq

——Crying T—T

Wei Ting's face darkened, "That's enough, I'll let him go."

Xiang Tianqi lost a lot of blood and was about to pass out, he was still holding Shen Mian's fingers tightly, Shen Mian opened his fingers and said: "You think you died for me, and I will remember your life Well, no, I never remember the dead, so you have to live, you know."

He said to A Niu: "Send him back to Yongle Hou Mansion."

A Niu asked, "What about you?"

After Shen Mian glanced, she said, "I won't go back, otherwise you won't be able to leave, and his injury won't be delayed."

A Niu hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, put Xiang Tianqi on the carriage, and drove the carriage away.

***

After they left, Wei Ting stepped forward, lifted the half-kneeling boy by the side of the road, took off his cloak, and covered his blood-stained skirt.

He said: "Let's go back to Jinzhou."

Shen Mian asked: "Those people, are your grandfather's subordinates?"

Wei Ting nodded.

"That arrow was aimed at me just now, he wanted to kill me, why?"

Wei Ting's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "I will definitely protect you."

Shen Mian said: "You dare not answer, why don't I answer for you, because he only has you as his grandson, and he wants you to marry a woman and pass on his Wei family's blood, but you only want me, right? "

Wei Ting said, "Yes. I only want you."

Shen Mian laughed, and he slightly raised his lips, smiling very bewitchingly, and said, "I know, but I'm afraid of death, what should I do."

Wei Ting took him into his arms. The cold-blooded man became extremely gentle at this moment.

"Whatever you want, I will do it for you."

Shen Mian said, "I won't go back to Jinzhou."

"it is good."

He reached out and took off the man's silver mask. When Wei Ting was out on business, he always hid his appearance. When he was doing such nonsense, Wei Ting actually let him go.

Shen Mian threw the mask aside, stretched out her hand, and slowly stroked the inconspicuous stubble on his chin with her fingertips, with a bit of intimacy in her movements, and said, "I remember my father said that you are from the secret door , the affairs of the imperial court have never been pursued in Jianghu, so we will go back to the secret door."

Wei Ting still nodded, "Okay."

He is so obedient, but Shen Mian is still uneasy, just now the life and death are on the line, confusion and fear still remain in his heart.

He looked at the unwiped blood between his fingers, and unconsciously lost his mind.

Wei Ting's eyes darkened, he held that hand, and said, "Don't think about him anymore, Shen Qi is far more dangerous than you know."

Shen Mian gave a "hmm" and said, "I know."

Wei Ting said: "You don't know, you don't know how dangerous he is. This man is dressed in white, but he can control the court. Those idiots in the palace are now under his control. I don't know what he can do , the princes all worshiped him as a god and obeyed his words. He turned Shangjing into a puddle of muddy water and forced his grandfather to hand over his military power. If he doesn't, you know what the consequences will be."

Shen Mian was shocked.

The emperor was about to die, and the military power was taken back, naturally it was used for the purpose of seizing the throne.

No wonder, no wonder Xiang Tianqi said that he didn't need to rely on the power of the Marquis Mansion, he wanted to push a puppet emperor to the throne, and by then, the whole Dasheng would be under his control.

Shen Mian shook her head, and said, "What you said is really unbelievable."

Wei Ting pulled the corners of his lips lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I went back to Beijing this time to find out about this matter. Half a year ago, after Shen Qi left the Hou's Mansion, he entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I heard with my own ears that Yun Lan Call him Mr., and be cautious in front of him. In the past six months, the contests between the several princes in the court are not as brainless and impulsive as before. It seems that they have grown their brains overnight. Can't think of any other reason."

"He regards the court situation as a game of chess, playing against himself, playing with everyone, does Huai'er really understand Shen Qi like this?"

Shen Mian was speechless for a while, that lunatic.

"Your Majesty is critically ill, this matter must have something to do with him, Huai'er, tell me, shouldn't he die."

Shen Mian said: "Brother Wei, you dormant in Shangjing, pretending to be a bodyguard and sneaking into Chengwang's mansion, what purpose do you have?"

Wei Ting was silent.

"Brother Wei wants the dragon chair, and Shen Qi wants the supreme power. There is actually no difference between you and him."

Wei Ting frowned, and said: "In the past, I did it for revenge. Rather than wanting to be emperor, it was better to get revenge on Yun Sheng and the Yun clan. But later, I met Huai'er, because you are Cheng Princess, in order to snatch you away from Yuncheng, I must get that position."

"You said... it was for me?"

Wei Ting said, "Yes, it's for you."

As Shen Mian listened to his words, the mystery in her mind gradually became clear.

He lowered his eyes and smiled, and finally understood why Xiang Tianqi said that he had given up a lot for him.

That person had clearly gained a position of power and was about to climb to the peak of power, but he kept saying that he had lost something important.

Because, he didn't want to get to this point in the first place. He used to be just a scholar who disdained power and power. He had ambitions and strategies for the country and the people, but he didn't want to be a despicable and dirty politician.

Combined with the memory of the original owner, in the original plot, Xiang Tianqi should have chosen Yuncheng to support him in the position.

But this time, because of him, Xiang Tianqi planned to choose a puppet from several princes, because he would never allow Yuncheng to ascend the throne.

That night, Xiang Tianqi got drunk and dragged him to talk crazy. At that time, he actually hoped that Shen Mian would find out what he was doing and stop him in time.

But now, the emperor's body is highly poisoned, there is no cure for medicine and stones, and there is no turning back.

After all, he became the kind of person he hated the most.

Shen Mian slowly let go of Wei Ting's hand, and said, "Brother Wei, I can't go to the secret door with you, I want to go back to the Hou's Mansion."

Wei Ting asked, "Why?"

Because he discovered that the son of destiny is Xiang Tianqi.

Shen Mian said: "Because my life is not long, only Shen Qi can save me."

"In Huai'er's eyes, Brother Wei is really so easy to deceive."

Shen Mian smiled lightly at him, and said, "Brother Wei doesn't believe me?"

Wei Ting raised his hands to cover those bewitching eyes. The young man's eyes seemed to have magic powers, which almost made him agree softly. He said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but whether I believe it or not, I can't let you go."

Shen Mian: "..."

Wei Ting picked him up, put him on the horse's back, and drove away with a whip.

After a hundred miles away from Shangjing, Shen Mian finally realized a serious problem.

If Xiang Tianqi is the Son of Destiny only because he has been blackened, then the man holding his arms now is just...
