The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

Zhaoren County main mansion, study.

Duke Zhen Guo sat in the first place, Qin Yan and Shen Ci sat on both sides.

Jiang Mu's face was not very good-looking, and he stood beside Ji Nanfeng.

Qin Yan glanced at Jiang Mu coldly, and said to Ji Nanfeng:

"Mr. Ji, talk about our losses today."

Ji Nanfeng replied:

"The secret guards in the palace were killed, 11 were seriously injured, and 22 were slightly injured."

Qin Yan looked at Jiang Mu, who was a little ashamed, with a slightly cold tone.

"Jiang Mu, among the dead and wounded guards today, some brothers used to accompany you, and some brothers used to protect you in the dark. You may not even remember their names."

"But it happened to them because of you."

"What did you say?"

Mr. Ji had already told Jiang Limu that today he disappeared in the forest and the dark guard was attacked. After that, Qin Yan entered the forest and was attacked, and Yu just returned to the house.

Jiang Mu's face was ashamed, he took a deep breath, and his voice was a little low:

"A few days ago, when I was in the mansion, when I passed by the front yard, a passerby dressed in a handyman costume quietly stuffed me a note."

"The above is the text of Xi Rong, saying that on the fourth day of the Autumn Festival Ceremony, the deer was sent out, and the king of Xi Rong asked me to meet alone in the paddock forest."

"That is my enemy, I hate him, even if it is a trap, I will definitely go."

"I entered the forest in the morning, and it was foggy. Not long after I went in, I saw a person in Xirong costume, and I hurried to follow. Later, I met a dozen killers who set up an ambush, held me in a daze, and when I woke up, it was already dark. Wei found it."

After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head and dared not look at Qin Yan.

The other party was obviously taking advantage of his vengeful desire to use him as bait. However, he was also blinded by hatred, and he did not discuss with Qin Yan beforehand and made adequate preparations, which caused Qin Yan to be in danger.

Perhaps, when it comes to his own deep hatred, he doesn't want to let others interfere, let alone Qin Yan.

"Even if it's a trap, you still want to go?" Qin Yan said with a chuckle.

"But that's not a trap for you, it's for me."

…

Jiang Mu was dumbfounded.

Ji Nanfeng listed what he found out one by one:

"When Jiang Shao woke up, I had already asked Jiang Shao's situation."

"The only stranger who has appeared in the house in the past few days is the nephew of Lao Wangtou, who delivered the vegetables. He said that Lao Wang was sick and he would deliver the vegetables."

"But he shouldn't be walking into the front yard."

"I sent dark guards to find them both, and both died at home."

Hearing this, everyone in the study looked solemn.

This is murder.

Qin Yan said to Shen Changshan, the first public servant of Zhenguo:

"This time, there are more than one group of killers in the forest, with slightly different clothes and different weapons."

"If it wasn't for the same person who hired different killers, then there was more than one person behind the scenes."

"But no matter what, at least one, the target is me."

"There are such a large number of dead soldiers in the royal paddock, and the opponent is so arrogant, the power should not be underestimated."

"I first guessed Concubine Shu, but not many people know the identity of Jiang Mu Xirong, so Concubine Shu does not necessarily have this authority."

"It could be someone else, someone else at the center of power."

Shen Changshan's voice was like a bell, but he was still arrogant when he opened his mouth:

"The mansion has strengthened its vigilance. Soldiers will come to block it, and water will come to cover it. In recent years, the mountains of swords and seas of blood have come over. What is there to fear. If the enemy comes, come one, kill one, and come to a group, and use them to sacrifice saber."

Prince's Mansion.

Song Zhi reported the news from the palace to the prince:

"The Holy Master made a thorough investigation of the Assassin case in the paddock overnight, and the people who were invited by the Beiya Imperial Army to interrogate included all the people who participated in the Qiu Xun hunt."

"According to the surviving attendants who followed His Majesty into Lin Shaolu that day, they encountered several groups of killers that day. However, some killers seemed to turn a blind eye to them, and only some attacked them."

"The conclusion of the Beiya Imperial Army is that there are more than one group of killers today. There may be more than one person behind the scenes."

Feng Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Qu finger lightly clasped the table.

After entering the forest today, several groups of killers were chasing after him.

When Feng Zhan met Qin Yan, he also happened to meet Qin Yan who had just finished solving a group of dead men who besieged her.

Then, there must be a killer targeting Qin Yan.

There must be a killer target himself.

And the man who can arrange so many assassins in the royal paddock, beyond the guard line...

Maybe, they are all related to the royal family.

interesting.

"Your Highness, did your arrow wound poison Tang Wan into the capital?" Song Zhi was a little worried about the crown prince's injury.

"No need." Feng Zhan denied this without any hesitation.

I learned today that Qin Yan is familiar with Yaowanggu, and she may have subordinates of Yaowanggu.

It seems that I have to trouble Zhaoren County Master to help me deal with this arrow wound...

Imperial City, Inner Court, Shou'an Palace.

"The queen mother, I missed it." Xia Ying, the chief **** of Shou'an Palace, knelt on the ground and said in a thin voice:

Mrs. Xiao sat on a large carved sandalwood chair covered with embroidered cushions, and looked down at Xia Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, with a string of Canaan wood bracelets in one hand, and did not speak.

The hall was silent.

After a while, the Queen Mother Xiao sighed softly and said:

"Get up."

Xia Ying got up, bowed and walked to the Empress Dowager Xiao's side, hesitating to say anything.

"Ask if you have anything. You have to clearly understand the thoughts of this palace, so that you can better serve the palace." Empress Dowager Xiao spoke slowly.

Xia Ying bowed and looked down at the ground, expressing his doubts:

"Since the Empress Dowager used the horses from Mulan Racecourse that day, she found out that the Zhaoren County Lord is extremely skilled and intelligent. The Queen Mother once said that the Zhaoren County Lord is most like the Empress Dowager when she was young, so why?"

"Why does Ben Gong still send a killer to kill her?" Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly said.

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced sideways at Xia Ying, and then turned her gaze back to the front.

In the hall, on the wall directly in front of the chair where the Empress Dowager Xiao sat, there was a portrait of the late emperor sitting on the throne.

"In this palace, there is no need for another me."

Tonight, His Majesty ordered a strict investigation into the assassination case in the paddock in the western suburbs overnight. All the people involved in the hunt, including the second prince Feng Xian, were invited by the Beiya Imperial Army for questioning.

After the second prince Feng Xian returned to the palace, he went straight to Concubine Shu's Chengqian Palace.

In the main hall of Concubine Shu's bedroom, Concubine Shu sent out the palace people. In the hall, only the mother and son were sitting in chairs.

Concubine Shu's posture was relaxed, while Feng Xian's face was tense.

Seeing that the concubine was just drinking tea leisurely, Feng Xian couldn't hold back his breath:

"Mother concubine, Qin Yan was attacked in the paddock today, do you have your handwriting?"

"Mother concubine..." Feng Xian's words were interrupted by Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu put down the teacup, looked at her son, and said slowly:

"In all these years, you have been fighting with the crown prince in the DPRK, what achievements have you made?"

"You are still just a prince who has not built a mansion by himself. In His Majesty's eyes, you are treated with the third prince Feng Yi, who is traveling outside the palace."

"Feng Zhan was established as the crown prince right from his birth, but you and Feng Yi have not received the title for a long time."

"Our majesty has a partial heart."

"It's a pity that Qin Yan's life is big, and so are the prince and the saint."

After Concubine Shu finished speaking, she sighed, picked up the teacup again, and drank the tea.

…

Feng Xian was dumbfounded.

The mother concubine can do nothing to Qin Yan, to the prince, and even to the father...

People say that the most poisonous woman's heart, I don't want my mother and concubine who looked dignified and virtuous on weekdays to be so cruel.

Killing the king, Feng Xian didn't even think about it.

Concubine Shu looked at her son and sighed again.

"In the past, I only watched you fight with the prince, and didn't intervene."

"Now, I also want to understand that only with power can I do what I want to do happily."

"In a few days, His Majesty's birthday will be celebrated, and the longevity festival will be celebrated. The son of Concubine Jing, who claims to be in love with landscapes, may also return to the palace."

"If you want to fight for the throne, you can't only have the prince in your eyes."

Feng Xian was overjoyed. With the help of his mother and concubine, he had a better chance of winning than before.

------

In the northern suburbs of Shangjing, Wanning Temple, borrowed the moon house.

Two men in plain robes with wide sleeves sat cross-legged across a chessboard on the bamboo mat on the couch by the window.

The room was quiet, only the sound of wind and falling sons could be heard.

A young male voice said:

"I didn't know that the emperor also sent a killer today?"

"If I had known Uncle Uncle's plan in advance, I could join forces for today's actions, and it would be better than everyone leaving empty-handed."

"Uncle's sincerity in cooperation, I have to doubt a little bit."

The man who hasn't opened his mouth for a while has a sunspot between his fingers.

Then he moved his gaze to Feng Yi, the third prince on the opposite side.

"You want to take the heir, I want to kill the king. Your goals and mine are not in conflict."

The voice of this man was warm and mellow, but his words were cold and ruthless.

Feng Yi added:

"Longevity of the father, will the uncle return to the palace?"

The man opposite sneered when he heard the words,

"Oh, the one from Shou'an Palace, I'm afraid I won't allow this king to appear in front of her."

It's night, the Prince's Mansion in Xishan, the Prince's Sleeping Palace.

Feng Zhan was lying flat on the couch, and suddenly opened his eyes from the dream, his forehead was covered in fine sweat.

Feng Zhan felt the cold wetness between his legs.

"Come on, wait and take a bath." Feng Zhan said solemnly.

Tonight, the prince's mansion is under martial law, and Song Zhi is on duty outside the prince's bedroom.

Hearing this, Song Zhi immediately ordered his attendants to arrange for His Highness to take a bath.

But Song Zhi had some doubts in his heart, why did His Highness suddenly want to take a bath in the middle of the night.

About the time to touch a stick of incense, Feng Zhan stepped out of the tub, put on a single coat, and strode out of the bedroom.

"Let someone go in and clean up." Feng Zhan's tone was slightly cold.

"Your Highness, are you going to the side hall?"

Feng Zhan didn't say a word and looked to the south.

The attendant cleaned up the quilt on the couch, his face a little embarrassed.

Song Zhi immediately understood something, His Highness is...

Feng Zhan went straight south towards the Cangtai Waterside Pavilion.

Song Zhi thought to himself, Qiu Liang, it is not suitable for His Highness to live in the waterside tonight.

But it is no wonder that it is the closest to the Zhaoren County Main Mansion.

------

Cangtai waterside, Feng Zhan lay down on the soft collapse in his clothes, unable to sleep for a long time.

What lingered in his mind was Qin Yan's soft red lips, her graceful figure, the itchiness of her fingertips touching his back...

That goblin not only stirs up his heart during the day.

Even at night he had to dream to torment him.

The beautiful woman in the dream just now had winking eyes like silk, only covered her body with a veil, and rode on his waist...

It's hard to sleep tonight.
