The second story of the ancient sword II

"The third younger brother said to me: Gong personally introspected, conspiring to rebel, it is very senseless, but it is too late to repent, and hope to turn things around. The wine toasted three years ago was prepared by the queen. It contained talisman water and was kept in the drum However, all kinds of evil karma created cannot be dealt with. The matter of supervising the water envoy, brother knows the inside story..." It was Li Xian's handwriting that entered the eyes.

"You fool, you just woke up now." Yi Ze hurriedly read the letter, looked at the woman in black leaning on the ground, "Who do you want to save?"

"My maidservant Hanmei is the eldest prince's guest, and she hangs around in the Qingyue Pavilion of Kong Zhaoyi. Now that the empress is in trouble, she still asks His Highness to help her!" Hanmei tried her best to calm her emotions while enduring the severe pain in her shoulders: "I have found the maidservant tonight. Chance was planning to deliver a letter, but as soon as he left the palace gate, he encountered an assassin who came to assassinate him. The servant and the assassin fought, but during the chase, the servant unexpectedly came out of the palace gate. Only then did the servant realize that the target of the assassin's assassination was Zhaoyi Empress , the purpose of fighting with me is to turn the tiger away from the mountain. However, I am afraid it will be too late to turn back. Your Highness is a man of metaphysics, and you can teleport in an instant. I hope your Highness will save me... My wound was left by the assassin. After I fell to the ground, everyone who chased me Dispersed. After a while, Han Mei got up and rushed to the palace. There was no follower, Your Highness can rest assured..." Regardless of the cold sweat streaming down her forehead due to the pain, Han Mei did not dare to delay for a moment to tell the story.

"Okay, I'll trust you." Yi Ze lightly cast the spell again, which relieved her pain a lot, "You go to this wing to rest first, there are healing medicines in the cabinet. Before I return, you are not allowed to move on your own .”

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!" Han Mei kowtowed excitedly on the spot.

Yi quickly returned to the main room, and put an enchantment beside Ah Ruan's bed, and then he transformed into a magic circle and sent it out with peace of mind.

At night, swarms of black magpies perched on the dark eaves of the harem, and when they heard the sound of whirring and flying, a black cloud was raised.The blue light fell straight behind Qingyue Pavilion.Yi quickly walked outside the gate of the palace, and saw a little maid looking out anxiously, muttering something incessantly.Yi walked over and covered her mouth.

"...uh...let go...let go...I..." The little maid struggled.

Walking to the back of one side, Yi let go of the little palace lady, and the little palace lady couldn't help her eyes lit up when she saw him: "Three..."

"Hush—" Yi gestured for silence, "Is your mother in there?"

"Xiaoyue sees Your Highness." Xiaoyue Yingying said, "Your Majesty only said that she came out alone to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus, but she still hasn't returned to the palace. The servants are dying of anxiety."

"You stay on guard in the palace." After Yi Ze finished speaking, he condensed the teleportation circle again and disappeared in front of Xiaoyue.

"Huh? Gone?!" Xiaoyue, who was rubbing her eyes, stayed where she was, "As expected, it's no wonder Second Miss likes him."

The sky is still deep, and the thick clouds move slowly, sometimes revealing half of the unclear moon.Faint voices came from the laurel bushes.

"Brother, should this woman be carried back to the palace, or settled on the spot?"

"It took a lot of effort to catch her. She knows martial arts. If she untied the rope on the way, she might run away. But it can be solved in the palace. If she is discovered..."

"Whoosh—" A blue light passed through, and instantly surrounded the two men like a chain.

"Hey, this... this..." The two men turned pale with shock, but they could only see that the blue halo became tighter and tighter, until it tightly strangled them like a rope.Before they could figure out what was going on, the two were stunned and fell heavily.

Yi appeared in the blue light, and quickly removed the thing stuffed in the mouth of the tied woman, and then a small spell untied the ropes on her hands and feet.The woman was indeed Kong Zhaoyi who had been captured.

"It was Your Highness! Thank you Your Highness for saving your life!" Kong Zhaoyi was full of excitement.

"You don't need to thank me, it was Han Mei who asked me to save you. I'm just repaying Ah Ruan's favor." Yi Ze said flatly.

"Han Mei... where is she?" Kong Zhaoyi touched the strangle marks on his wrist, and looked at Yi Ze's figure who was about to turn around.

"She's injured, and she's in my mansion." Yi Ze didn't turn around, and then said in a cold and forceful tone, "Weak women, please don't get involved in the affairs of the imperial court...You brought up He Shuo's question, Your Majesty Taking advantage of the topic, Zhaoyi must have drawn the fire, and she hopes to do it on her own." Although she really wanted to ask her if the mastermind behind Xue Linglong was related to the Kong family, but in the absence of friends and foes, Yi still didn't ask.

"...The concubine thanked His Highness for taking in Hanmei." My heart was aching, back and forth, everything I did, even if it was based on my own innocence, wasn't it still for the person in front of me?But he didn't show any pity.Seeing that Yi Ze was about to leave, Kong Zhaoyi hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, wait a minute—"

"What's the matter?" Yi Ze stopped the spell in his hand, and landed gently on the ground.

"Does your Highness still remember the midsummer of the Gengzi Year...the lotus pond at the entrance of the Purple Orchid Hall of Concubine Shu was full of gorgeous lotus flowers...the concubine was eight years old that year, and I met His Highness there..." Kong Zhaoyi Speaking of this, I eased my emotions, "If I hadn't met His Highness at that time, I'm afraid there would be no Kong Shuyao today..."

"Year of the Gengzi... Zhongxia..." Yi Ze slowly recalled the scene when he was a child, looked at her face, and then realized why he felt familiar, so...

"At that time, the little Shuyao fell into the lotus pond. Although His Royal Highness was young, he was very brave. He kept holding on to the belt that the concubine threw to you, and shouted for the guards. The concubine's life is given by the mother." His Highness rescued her..." Kong Zhaoyi seemed to have tears in his eyes when he said this, "So, the concubine will do her best to help His Highness win the throne..."

"Old things, why bring them up again? If it wasn't for me, no one else would ignore them." Yi Ze looked at her indifferently, "If I'm right, Li Xian's rebellion must have something to do with Zhaoyi... , can you count as helping me?!"

"His Royal Highness is indeed wise. It was intended to kill two birds with one stone, but His Second Highness did not fall into the trap. Now that I think about it... I don't know if what I did was right or wrong..."

"It kills two birds with one stone! What does Xue Linglong have to do with your Kong family?" Yi Ze clenched his fists, with a look of disdain in his eyes. He never thought that the woman in front of him had a heart of snakes and scorpions.

"Blood Linglong? The number one killer in Jianghu?" Kong Zhaoyi couldn't believe his ears. Could it be that his father did it?No, it's impossible...

"My Confucian family's loyal family, how can I have an affair with the thieves in the Jianghu?! How does His Highness look at me, the ministers and concubines have no complaints, but father and brother are loyal and good people, and they only wish to be loyal to His Highness."

"Heh... Li Xian, that fool, I'm afraid he hasn't realized that he has fallen into your trap." Yi Ze's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"The matter has come to this..." Kong Zhaoyi looked at her lower abdomen, and continued, "...I hope this world can fall into the hands of a benevolent king. Your Highness is the best choice. The concubine and the Kong family, and the common people in this world Ordinarily, Yin Yin’s heart is only to seek the enlightened master!” A trace of desolation flashed in Kong Zhaoyi’s eyes, “Girls in the harem have a bleak life, the saints are buried in heaven, and those who have no children may become monks or guard the mausoleum... If you talk about selfish desires, Shuyao is only for Find a way to survive. I already knew Li Kang's tricks earlier. If he proclaimed the emperor, he would definitely kill Shuyao. Today, he was kidnapped and robbed by others, and it was determined to be the work of the second highness. However, Li Xian was murdered by his concubine. I will pay back... the matter of the Li family, the concubine will not take half a step... I just hope that His Highness will take care of you!"

"Okay, I'll trust you! Zhaoyi's selfish desires must be fulfilled with all my heart." After hearing her words, Yi simply turned around, condensed out of the magic circle, and gradually disappeared in front of his eyes, "Hanmei's injuries are relieved, and she will be sent back."

He left... so resolutely...Kong Zhaoyi put his arms around his shoulders, walked forward silently, tears fell down, and the corner of his mouth was not sure whether to cry or laugh.Kong Shuyao, Kong Shuyao... Are you really worth it? !

The mansion of the second prince Li Kang, the three assassins returned to return.

"Bastard, let Li Yan take advantage of the loophole!" Li Kang slammed the wall hard, "I only thought that she was just a girl, so I didn't send a master... Now that it has been exposed, I am afraid that if I want to kill her again, I will kill her." It's not that easy anymore."

Pacing back and forth, Li Kang was still thinking about his next plan.Anyway, if you can't kill it, it's better to speed up the speed of cutting the mess!

Dazzling light penetrated into the room and hit Ah Ruan's face. He slowly opened his eyes and found that Yi Ze had got up.Habitually touching his stomach, he sat up carefully.

"Are you awake?" Yi Ze's voice came from behind the screen, "Ah Ruan is staying at home and will be back at noon."

"Oh." Ah Ruan responded, put on his clothes, got out of bed, and watched Yi Ze leave.After returning from Taihua, it has been like this every day. Whenever the back of Yi Ze in his eyes is getting farther and farther away, Ah Ruan feels inexplicable sadness in his heart.When Yi Ze is not by her side, she does not want him to know about her little changes, she does not want him to worry, and what is even more frightening is that one day Yi Ze is not by her side, she will leave suddenly, and she will not see her for the last time...

Every time he turned around, Yi Ze was also full of worries, but he never said it out, he didn't want to make Ah Ruan sad and scared... I heard that the Tianxuan Sect in southern Xinjiang once had a secret method to restore spiritual power, and he would fight Do your best, at all costs, to find that way.So now, Ah Ruan, you have to be well, and you must wait until that day. Yi Ze will silently recite these words in his heart every day.

This watching scene has gradually become a habit and a beautiful picture scroll. The scene is smooth and peaceful, and the time has finally come to the coldest season of the year.
