Concubine, don't flirt: His Royal Highness is hiding something

"His Highness is back."

Seeing Nangong Yan's figure, she got up and went to meet him.In the eyes, there are bursts of joy.

"But, where is the princess?" Lu Yin looked behind him, but she didn't see Yu Qiqi, and she didn't hear the news of her return in the East Palace.

"She won't be back in a few days."

Nangong Yan took her hand and led her into the hall.

"Brother Yan, this lady Wan is very nice, she will cook delicious food for Ying'er, and tell jokes for Ying'er." Xue Ying raised a small face and said happily.

He knelt down, pinched his face, and asked in pretended surprise, "Really?"

"En!" Xue Ying nodded vigorously.

"Why don't I know, you can still tell jokes." Nangong Yan stood up, a certain official looked softly at Lu Yin.

There was a shyness on Luyin's face, and she covered her lips and said, "It's all tricks to fool children, how can I show my shame in front of His Highness."

When Xue Ying heard this, she raised her head unconvinced, "Oh, so Madam Wan is using it to fool Ying'er."

Lu Yin was amused by him, and touched the back of his head, "He looks like a young adult." After that, he looked at Nangong Yan, "Your Highness, why don't you leave Ying'er by my side? If you raise him, you will definitely teach him how to read and write."

Nangong Yan was slightly stunned. He originally wanted to bring Xue Ying to Yu Qiqi's side. Although Yu Qiqi was not prudent in her actions, her temperament was the easiest to mess with children. The fright is to be appeased.

But when she heard what Lu Yin said about reading and writing, Yu Qiqi wasn't that kind of material, so she complied with her request, "Well, I'll keep Yinger by your side."

"Thank you Your Highness."

Lu Yin leaned over to thank her, and then.Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen him for so long, she stood on tiptoe and left a light kiss on his face.

Xue Ying hurriedly turned around and covered her eyes.

Nangong Yan covered the corners of her lips and hugged her into her arms.

After having dinner with them in the Hall of Changhuan, he returned to the Hall of Chenghe, when a hidden guard jumped down from the eaves and knelt down in front of him, "Reporting to Your Highness, the person who has found the King of West Chu in Yanjing City! "

Nangong Yan's eyes turned cold, and he said quietly, "Find a suitable time and get rid of them all."

"Yes!"

Immediately, the figure of the dark guard disappeared into the night.

The night is as cool as water.Wu Lian quietly sneaked into the palace of the king of Xichu County, and nodded to the king of West Chu County who had been waiting for her in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, "Your Majesty, Lord Lin's plan has been miscalculated, Nangong Yan quietly left Nanzhao two days ago , back to Yanjing, Lin Laohou and his family have been withdrawn by Emperor Yan Jing, and they will never stand up in this lifetime."

"Nangong Yan returned to Yanjing two days ago?!"

Immediately, the King of Xichu County turned his head back, a burst of astonishment flashed across his face.

"Yes! He declared in the Nanzhao Palace that he was ill, so he kept the door behind closed doors for an excuse, and with this reason, Yu Zhengyan's eyes and ears were fooled."

Wu Lian lowered her head, not daring to look at his expression.

"Yu Zhengyan is really stupid! That's how smart he is. It's wishful thinking to want to be the emperor of Nanzhao!" Mistrusting Yu Zhengyan made him very annoyed.

Wu Lian narrowed her eyes, and boldly said: "Your Majesty, we still have a chance. The maidservants and maidservants have sneaked into Yanjing City and are ready to strike at any time."

The king of Xichu County didn't speak, his sinister eyes darkened, and he asked her slowly, "Don't worry, is Yu Qiqi still in Nanzhao?"

"Still in Nanzhao, Nangong Yan came back to Yanjing alone, he left Chu Peiyu behind, maybe he wanted him to escort Yu Qiqi back to Yanjing." She told the news exactly Speak up.

"Then it will be much easier." A dangerous and creepy smile appeared on the corner of Xichu County King's mouth.

Two days later, Yu Qiqi left the Nanzhao Palace, and her six brothers sent her outside the palace gate, "Sister Qi, if you have anything to do in Yanjing, you must tell the brothers, the brothers will make decisions for you "Yu Zhengting put his hands on her shoulders, with reluctance in his eyes.

"Brothers, don't worry, with A Jian by my side, she will definitely protect me well." Yu Qiqi pulled A Jian over to comfort them.

A Jian immediately nodded vigorously, "Well, the princess is right, princes, don't worry, I will definitely protect the princess!"

"good."

Yu Zhengting nodded slightly, and the eyes of the other princes were also filled with reluctance, but they couldn't keep her. After about the time, she left Nanzhao together with Chu Peiyu.

In the carriage, there were a lot of pomegranates that she asked Ah Jian to pick from the tree, all of them were plump, just looking at them, Yu Qiqi could not stop smiling.

Ah Jian was miserable, not only had to help her climb the tree to pick pomegranates, but also peeled the pomegranates, put the pomegranate seeds inside on a plate, and brought them to her for her to enjoy.

The carriage was safe all the way, and the group of people slowly left the territory of Nanzhao and entered the territory of Western Chu.As soon as he entered the territory of Western Chu, there was a dangerous atmosphere around him. Chu Peiyu's vigilance increased a lot. He asked the guards accompanying him to pay close attention to the movement around him.

The guards nodded one after another, knowing that this is in the territory of Western Chu, the terrain is dangerous, so they have to cheer up.

A Jian also smelled this dangerous breath, and after peeling the pomegranate in her hand, she held the long sword tightly in her hand and protected it by Yu Qiqi's side.

"Are you in Xichu?" Seeing her changes, Yu Qiqi also restrained her playful temper before, and obediently stayed by her side.

"Well, it's enough for the princess to stay by my side." A Jian nodded, her eyes were sharp, and she was always watching the movement outside.

But all the way through Xichu, everything was safe and sound. Some guards had already lowered their vigilance, thinking that there would be no more danger on this trip. Only Chu Peiyu and A Jian did not relax.

Chu Peiyu reprimanded them, "Don't let your guard down before you leave the border of Western Chu!" Their lazy appearance made him angry.

A Jian stayed in the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was blown up by the wind. She saw Chu Peiyu's solemn appearance from inside, and her eyes filled with admiration.

"A Jian, do you like him?" At some point, Yu Qiqi had already moved in front of her, staring at her carefully.

"Princess, what are you talking about?!"

A Jian immediately withdrew her eyes, and a glow appeared on her face.

"You said that you have been by my side for so many years, when have you ever been fascinated, let alone when you see people." Yu Qiqi joked at her in a strange way.

"No, no!"

Her heart was beating fast, as if someone had discovered the secret in her heart.

"It's okay, I'll..."

"Boom!"

Before Yu Qiqi finished speaking, there was a loud noise outside, followed by an earth-shattering noise.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, A Jian immediately lifted the curtain and looked outside. The outside was so gray that it was hard to see who was coming.

The sky has also slowly darkened.

"A Jian, quickly take the princess away!"

In the smoke, Chu Peiyu quickly came to the front of their carriage and shouted at A Jian.

"Um!"

A Jian nodded, took the reins from the guards, and drove the carriage through the smoke and rushed out of the encirclement.

"Master Curtain, they ran over there!" A maid drove a horse to Wu Lian's side, pointing to the direction where A Jian was leaving in the carriage.

A cold light flashed across Wu Lian's eyes.Immediately grasping the reins tightly, the horse just raised its hooves when a long sword was about to strike at her, it was Chu Peiyu!

"General Chu, you are not my opponent!" A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the soft sword in her hand blocked his sharp long sword.

Chu Peiyu ignored her, and the long sword in his hand approached her tightly, not giving her any chance to take the initiative to attack. She slightly raised the corners of her lips, admiring that Chu Peiyu found her flaw, and knew that as long as she didn't give her the initiative to attack If there is a chance, he will be able to hold her back for a while.

The smile on the corners of her lips became more and more intense, as if suddenly poisoned, and the two of them went through about a dozen moves.Her soft sword tightly wrapped around his long sword, she hooked hard, and the long sword in his hand left his hand, pierced to the ground, and stuck tightly into the dust.

"General Chu, we will meet later!"

Wu Lian sat on the horseback, smiled at him, and rode away.

Chu Peiyu bent down on the horse's back, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword on the ground. When he was about to chase after him, he was blocked by someone. Several maidservants surrounded him, trapping him in the sword array.

A Jian drove the carriage, and gradually moved away from the chaotic scene just now. When the carriage was about to drive out of the border of Western Chu, a long sword struck from behind and split their carriage in half. Holding Yu Qiqi's hand, he put her on the horse's back, and the two of them sat on the same horse.

The carriage that was split by Wu Lian blocked her way, she had to grit her teeth hard and chase after her on the horse.A Jian looked back from time to time, seeing that Wu Lian was about to catch up, she put the rein in Yu Qiqi's hand, "Princess, you run away quickly, run along this road. You will be able to return to Yanjing!" "

"Ajian!"

Yu Qiqi turned her head and yelled, but Ah Jian had already jumped off the horse, swung the sword in her hand and stabbed at Wu Lian, Wu Lian leaned back, dodging her coldly shining long sword, she turned around, He stabbed at her again, and the two fought against each other on horseback.

Wu Lian watched Yu Qiqi run farther and farther, but it was of no avail. Ah Jian had already tried her best to wrap her up. Although the sword moves were exhausting, they were deadly and she couldn't escape. leave.

As night fell, Yu Qiqi didn't know where she had fled to, but felt that everything behind her was getting farther and farther away from her. When she looked forward, it was dark.

"Where does Seventh Princess want to escape?" There was an evil voice in front of her. A man was standing in front of her wearing a hat. She couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Who are you?! I am the Crown Princess of Yanjing. If you take me away, Nangong Yan will not let you go!"

A Jian told her that if she kept running along this road, she would be able to escape back to Yanjing. She thought that she would soon return to Yanjing.Nangong Yan will definitely come to rescue her.

Hearing what she said, the man laughed, with a chill in his smile and mocking, "Seventh Princess, don't deceive yourself, don't you know how His Highness the Crown Prince treats you? Presumably at this moment, he is in the East Palace with his Wan Niang So lingering, will you still be in my heart?"

His words pierced Yu Qiqi's sore spot. She tightly held the rein in her hand and sat on the horseback. The night shrouded her expression, "Of course he has me in mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't Chu Peiyu stays and escorts me back to Yanjing!"

"It's so simple. If he really cares about you, he will take you back to Yanjing. You have encountered such dangers when you returned to Nanzhao. Could it be that he doesn't know? How can Chu Peiyu be alone? Can you withstand that danger?"

Every word he said struck Yu Qiqi's heart, making her feel a little pain in her heart, as if a needle was being pricked.

When they returned to Nanzhao, Nangong Yan left alone for a while, and he didn't say anything after he came back.This time he would go to Yanjing, saying that he was going back to deal with the affairs of the court, so he didn't disclose it to her, but who knows.What is his real purpose?

At the beginning, he had said that he would abolish her. If she was in danger on the way back to Yanjing, then he would accept his wish and let him stay with Luyin for the rest of his life!

A panic surged in Yu Qiqi's heart, the horse was spinning back and forth, she lowered her head and murmured softly, "No, no, he won't lie to me..."

He also said that if she helped him this time, he would grant her another wish.

"Did the seventh princess think that he would put his mind on you? You know what kind of suffering you suffered in the East Palace, don't you? Even if Luyin betrayed him again and again, he can forgive her, only you , he will never put you in his heart."

The man slowly approached her, "Besides, I have heard that the hidden guards he raised have always been very skilled, and they are no match for any elite soldiers and robbers. If he really cared about you, why didn't he send them to escort you? In danger, what about his hidden guards?"

Tears rolled down Yu Qiqi's cheeks, making her body feel chills and her face icy cold.

"Go back with me, I will make him regret it." The man raised his head, showing a face like a crown jade, and stretched out his hand towards her.

His phrase 'this king will make him regret' seemed to have magical powers, causing Yu Qiqi to sit on the horse and sob non-stop.

"The king of the county!"

Behind the two of them, Wu Lian had already caught up, holding the injured Ah Jian in her hand, a trail of blood oozed from the back of her neck, Yu Qiqi hurriedly got off her horse and ran towards her, Called softly: "A Jian, A Jian..."

A Jian opened her eyes in a daze, seeing that Yu Qiqi was safe and sound, she smiled at her, "Princess, I'm fine..."

"Look, who is the only one who is sincere to you, have you seen it?" The King of Xichu stood beside her, his words were cool.

Yu Qiqi held onto Ah Jian tightly, Chu Peiyu's skill is not bad, and now she hasn't dealt with Wu Lian, why can't she break through the encirclement and catch up to her for so long, and where are the hidden guards of Nangong Yan? ? !

Nangong Yan didn't care about her life at all.don't care at all!

She bit her lips tightly, her body trembling slightly, she supported A Jian and replied, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Xichu County King's mouth, "This is the decision a wise man should make." Then, the figures of the four disappeared from the dense forest.

When Chu Peiyu caught up, Yu Qiqi had disappeared.

He was seriously injured by the sword array just now, and his chest was still bleeding at the moment. It took a lot of time to catch up, but it seemed to be too late.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something has happened!"

In the night, Chu Peiyu hurried back to the East Palace regardless of the wound on his chest. Nangong Yan was still reading the papers on dealing with Lin Laohou's pedestrian punishment. He smelled the blood on Chu Peiyu's body, "Where is the Crown Princess?" As soon as he looked up, he was asking about Yu Qiqi's news.

"When we were about to leave the border of Western Chu, we were set in ambush, the crown princess, the crown princess was taken away!" Chu Peiyu knelt in front of him, panting heavily.

Nangong Yan's face darkened immediately, and he asked coldly, "Did the king of Xichu County do it?"

"It was the woman Wu Lian who set the ambush last time, and the king of Xichu County must have done this!" Chu Peiyu endured the pain in his chest and kept kneeling.

"Damn it!"

Nangong Yan gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists. Last time he didn't promise him something, this time he will definitely use Yu Qiqi to blackmail him!

In the end, Chu Peiyu retreated to recuperate, while Nangong Yan sat on the bench with a gloomy and chiseled face, emitting bursts of terrifying aura from his whole body.

Luyin came in from outside the hall, just before she came in, she saw Chu Peiyu's figure retreating while clutching his chest, as if he had been seriously injured.

She walked in front of Nangong Yan, and a shadowy figure came into his eyes.It didn't let the chill emanating from his body fade away.

Lu Yin could tell that he was not in a good mood, and his face was terribly gloomy, "Could it be something happened to the princess?" She asked cautiously.

After that, the ginseng tea in his hand was placed on the table.

"Yeah." Nangong Yan's thin lips parted slightly, and her mind was not on her at all.

Hearing this, Lu Yin changed the subject, and jokingly said: "Just now, that kid Ying'er was clamoring for His Highness to take his poetry test, but he didn't think about it, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye."

"The kid still likes you."

During the few days when Xue Ying was raised by her side, she got along very well with her, and the two of them were like their own mother and child.

"His Royal Highness is willing to put him next to my concubine to raise him, which can be regarded as adding a child to my concubine. I am very grateful."

Her eyes brightened a little.She turned around and handed the ginseng soup to Nangong Yan, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess will be safe and sound, you must not be exhausted."

Nangong Yan took the ginseng soup from her hand and urged her, "Go back and rest first." At this moment, he was depressed and didn't want to be disturbed.

"good."

Lu Yin stared at him, then backed away.The bowl of ginseng soup she brought over has been put on hold by him.

A dark guard emerged from the shadows and nodded at him, "Your Highness."

"Rush to Xichu to see how the princess is doing." He had never used these hidden guards on Yu Qiqi, this was the first time.

"Yes!"

The dark guard hurriedly retreated.

Nangong Yan rubbed the center of his eyebrows, his heart was filled with boredom and anxiety.

After seeing Song Gaohuan's appearance in the prison that day, Concubine Yi returned to Liangxi Palace and had nightmares every night, as if Song Gaohuan's ferocious face was standing in front of her, wanting to demand her life, She wakes up every night in shock.

Tonight, too.

It's just that there was one more person beside her bed tonight, looking at the black figure, she asked coldly, "You, who are you?!"

"Yi'er, I didn't expect you to live like this in the palace." The black figure in front of her had a hoarse voice, she turned around slowly, it was Wu Lian.

Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment, then said in a startled voice, "Master?..."

"You don't seem to be using all the things that Master taught you." Seeing her crazy appearance, Wu Lian's words were full of disappointment.

"No, it's not like that. Yi'er listened to the master's words and kept everything the master taught in his heart. It's just that my Qing'er is still alive. For him, I can't do everything too badly. He will hate me of..." As soon as Yan Shiqing was mentioned, her gloomy eyes lit up with gentleness.

"Your life's hard work has been spent on this child." Wu Lian looked at her, the darkness covered her face, making it impossible for Concubine Yi to see her expression, but there was distress in her words, she could hear this come out.

The master, who has always been strict with her, would actually show his love for her, which surprised her a little.

"I am willing for him, Master." She climbed out of bed, stretched out her hand to hold her wrist, held it tightly, and her body was shaking.

Wu Lian's eyes were sick, and her hoarse voice trembled, "But do you know that your father, King Xichu, wanted his life?"

Immediately, Concubine Yi opened her eyes wide and stared at her in disbelief, "What? My father, how could he?" Yan Shiqing did not hinder him from completing his great cause.

Wu Lian closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again, "Because of you."

"But, what my father asked me to do, I did everything, none of which was against his wishes..." Two lines of tears rolled down from her eyes, soaking into her thin shirt.

"Don't you know what your father is like?" Unusual, Wu Lian stretched out his hand and stroked her slightly trembling back.

"Master, please plead with my father for me. From now on, I will do whatever he asks me to do, and I will never go against his wishes, as long as he is willing to let Qing'er go!"

Concubine Yi held her wrist tightly, crying and begging.

Wu Lian sighed, and the hand stroking her back became heavier.

When Yu Qiqi woke up, she saw the man who talked to her in the dense forest that night. She stroked her forehead and asked him, "Where is this?"

"The Prince's Mansion of West Chu County."

The king of Xichu smiled back at her.

He has a kind smile and gentle eyes, just like her father, but his face looks much younger than her father's, with a calmness in his handsomeness.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" He narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and pointed to her heart.

Yu Qiqi's small face went down, and her heart felt sore again, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and her brain also hurt a little, "It's okay." She resisted the pain and replied.

The king of Xichu County only showed a slight smile, and handed over a bowl of soup, "You drink this first, it's for calming the nerves." He seemed to see her thoughts, but he didn't say anything.

Yu Qiqi looked at the decoction in his hand and frowned, she was afraid of suffering.

"Swallow this after you finish drinking, it won't be bitter." He held a piece of rock candy in his hand.

Yu Qiqi blinked and took the soup from his hand.
