into the bosom

Chapter 447 Two-day deadline

How obedient and obedient!Xu Jiao's eyes flicked between the two of them, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Emperor Xian took two sips of tea slowly, and the anger on his face subsided for the most part. At this time, Gan Nei Shi also came back, accompanied by Kang Nei Shi, holding a few scrolls in his hand.

Emperor Xian waved his hand lightly, and those paintings were thrown to Xu Jiao's feet, and two of them were spread out, and after a light glance, as expected, they were indeed the ones she thought.

Xu Jiao raised his eyes to look at him calmly, "Don't you cherish these paintings the most, Your Majesty? He even brought them with him when he fled. Naturally, he cherishes them, but now he treats them like this. His Majesty's thoughts are really unpredictable. .”

"If those pictures are real, I will naturally cherish them. The key point is, they are just fakes, aren't they?" Emperor Xian raised his eyebrows lightly, his gaze fixed on her, "Where are the real ones, you should be the most important one." Clear. Of course, I don’t care about those real paintings anymore, what I want is the secret you want to hide even if you don’t hesitate to hide it.”

Xu Jiao didn't quibble, but he didn't admit it either. He just looked at the paintings silently, without saying a word.On that day, the message Banlan sent failed to reach Emperor Xian, and was intercepted by Mo Chuohe halfway. Later, because of Mo Chuohe's insistence, she temporarily shelved the idea of ​​revealing this secret to Emperor Xian, but obviously, He couldn't hide it from the past, but how did Emperor Xian know this secret?
She raised her eyelashes and looked at Emperor Xian in doubt.

"You are very smart." Emperor Xian seemed to understand her unspoken doubts, pondered for a while, and explained her doubts generously, "These paintings are really uncanny, and they are fake, even if I look at these paintings every day, see After more than ten years, I still haven't noticed anything wrong. If it wasn't for some accident, I accidentally spilled tea on one of the pictures, I might be kept in the dark by you forever."

When Xu Jiao heard this, his eyelashes trembled slightly, but the suspicion in his eyes deepened by two points.

"You may not know that the scrolls of these paintings are all unique. If they are soaked in water, a hidden pattern will appear at one end of the scroll. It was specially made by the emperor just in case. I didn't expect you to send The painting that came back was actually repackaged, so I didn’t think of going to check it, and I was almost hidden from you, but fortunately, God has eyes.”

"But it's okay, you lied to me, and I'm happy instead. If you hadn't discovered the secret in the painting, why would you go to such pains to cover it up? The secret I've been searching for for so long has finally been found."

When he said this, Emperor Xian looked at Xu Jiao eagerly.

Xu Jiao really didn't expect to be exposed because of this, the god who loves to play tricks.That being the case, there is no need to argue anymore. "Since your majesty knows who I am, you should know why I have tried so hard to hide it. The hatred between me and your majesty is irreconcilable. I will not let you get what you want. Even if your majesty knows How, I just know the secret in the painting, but I just won't tell His Majesty, so what? Your Majesty might as well kill me, and it will be over once and for all. So, Your Majesty should not waste your time, anyway, now that the overall situation is settled, His Majesty has escaped Come out, as long as you remain anonymous, you can still live the rest of your life comfortably, why not do it?" Xu Jiao smiled at Emperor Xian, but the smile in his eyes was weak.

Emperor Xian was not irritated by her anymore, "You don't need to worry about how I live. Now that you are in my hands, do you still naively think that you have the final say? You can spare your life. If it doesn’t work, you don’t care about your mother’s life?”

Xu Jiao's complexion changed slightly, "My mother is the sister of your Majesty's mother, how can you really say such a thing?"

"Didn't you say that? I have lost humanity! What can't be done for a person who has lost humanity? To tell you the truth, your mother is not sick at all, but poisoned. The antidote is only for me. Only then." Emperor Xian even laughed when he said this.

Xu Jiao had guessed a long time ago, but when he heard this, he still felt cold in his heart, even though he knew that Emperor Xian was cold-hearted, and he didn't even have any sibling affection for the eldest princess, and his emotions were complicated and turbulent. Only condensed into two words, "Despicable!"

Perhaps he had figured it out, and felt that Xu Jiao really had no other choice but to show off his quick tongue. Now Emperor Xian was able to calm down when he heard her scolding him. Not only was he not angry, he even laughed. , "You can scold as you like! As long as you are happy! Besides, your mother is not the only bargaining chip in my hands."

Emperor Xian glanced thoughtfully at Wang Wan and Lingxue beside Xu Jiao, his eyes were cold, "Yingyue said that I have lost humanity, but I have to thank Yingyue for his love and righteousness, otherwise, how could I be able to do that?" So sure that you can get what you want? But... I have no patience, I can't wait for a long time, two days! I can only give you two days at most, and in these two days, I will offer food and drink If your mother, concubine Wan, and you, the maid, don’t see what I want after two days, then I’m sorry, and I can only use your maid first.”

"Don't worry, I won't let her die immediately. After a stick of incense, I will have someone cut off a piece of flesh from her body. This person can still last for a while. If she dies, Then change to Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan is over, and your mother..." Emperor Xian said these things with a smile, but Xu Jiao and the others felt chills all over their bodies, shivering almost uncontrollably like falling into an ice cellar Come.

Xu Jiao finally couldn't hold back, gritted his teeth and said, "Enough!"

Emperor Xian looked at the pale faces of the few of them, the tears in Xu Jiao's eyes, but he smiled with great satisfaction, "Don't worry! Two days are two days, you hurry up for these two days, after two days , if I still can't get what I want, then I can only say sorry."

"Let me meet my mother first!" Xu Jiao clenched his fists and said in a low voice.

"Your mother is sleeping now, even if you see it, it's useless." Emperor Xian said.

"Then let me see her, at least let me make sure she's okay." Xu Jiao insisted.

Emperor Xian turned his eyes, looked at Taoist Yun Qing, and nodded, "Forget it, just let you see it, and after seeing it, you can draw what I want with peace of mind. However, the ugly words are Up front, you'd better not think about playing tricks, otherwise none of you will be able to live." After warning again, Emperor Xian raised his hand to summon Gan's servant, "Take her there!"

Then he raised his hand and pointed at Wang Wan and Xue Xuedao, "Take these two down first, and wait in the apartment prepared for her."

Xu Jiao and Neg Xue looked at each other, without saying anything, turned around and walked out with Gan Neishi.

The house is actually quite small. Xu Jiao raised his head to look at the sun in the sky, and he could only guess that the house was probably in the east of the city, and it didn't look like it was newly prepared. There were traces of life everywhere. Just prepare yourself a back road.

The place where the eldest princess lived was not far from the main courtyard just now, presumably for the convenience of control, as Emperor Xian said, the eldest princess was sleeping groggyly in the bed, but she was fine for the time being.

Xu Jiao couldn't help but quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Gan Neishi urged, "Since the Princess has already seen her, and saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess is sleeping soundly, can you go with our house with peace of mind now?"

Xu Jiao glanced at the eldest princess who was unknown, stood up silently, and walked out of the house.

Attendant Gan Nei followed her, smiling and persuading, "Princess, there is a good saying, those who know the current affairs are excellent, and the princess is a smart person, so don't think of other tricks, obediently follow your Majesty's orders." Order, get those things ready, so that you can protect the person you want to protect, as well as yourself..."

Xu Jiao remained silent, wondering if he had listened to Gan's servant's words.

As expected, the residence arranged for her was not close to the eldest princess's residence, but not far away, just one east and one west, and the emperor Xian's residence was just separated in the middle, and the defense was very tight.

When Xu Jiao walked into the door, the door suddenly closed behind him, and there was a faint sound of locking.

"Ajiao!" Wang Wan and Xuexue were waiting for Xu Jiao in the room, already very anxious, seeing her coming, they immediately came up to meet her.

But Xu Jiao exchanged winks with Wang Wan, and when the door was locked, Xu Jiao pulled Wang Wan and entered the inner room together with Lingxue.

The house is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and the outside room is arranged as a study room. She took a cursory glance just now. The desk, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all available. The inner room only has a bed and an Arhat bed, which is not bad, at least He must have been very confident in not separating them, not afraid of them playing tricks under their noses.

Naturally, there are guards and surveillance around the house, but if you enter the inner room and speak in a low voice, you won't be overheard.

"Can you see Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? Is she okay?" After the two sat down, Wang Wan asked softly in a low voice.

Xu Jiao nodded, then shook his head again, "I've seen it, but it's the same as what they said, falling asleep and unconscious." Xu Jiao said, his brows were also tense, if the eldest princess was really poisoned Even if the poison didn't seal the throat with blood, she was worried that it would hinder it after a long time.

"What should we do now?" Negative Xue also frowned.

Xu Jiao shook her head lightly, her eyes darkened, "Let's take one step at a time, let's spend these two days safely." That picture has long been engraved in her mind, and it will only take a few days to copy it out. It only took an hour, but since the emperor was so generous and gave her two days, she was disrespectful.At this time, A Shu must have noticed that she was taken away. Although the emperor must have made perfect preparations and would not allow anyone to easily find his hiding place, but with A Shu here, everything is unknown.Two days... Ashu may not be unable to find her.

But before that, all she had to do was to protect the person she wanted to protect, protect herself, and wait for him to come.

When the fire in Cuiwei Palace was extinguished, the sky was still bright, and several charred bodies were carried out from various places, including males and females. After squatting down and looking at it for a while, Mo Chuhe said with dark eyes, "Sure enough... "

"Ajiao isn't here anymore, right?" Jing Duo noticed the subtle emotional changes on his cold face, and realized something.

Xu Jiao had already left before the fire, which was a good thing, but it was not a good thing. At this moment, where did A Jiao go?

Because the people he deployed in Anfu Palace and Cuiwei Palace were quietly removed, he didn't even know when Ajiao left Cuiwei Palace and which direction he went.

Standing on the ruins where the smoke still lingered, Mo Chuihe looked around in a daze, feeling powerless for the first time as he didn't know where to start.

At this moment, several sharp whistles suddenly pierced the sky and came from somewhere in Miyagi.

"It's ours!" Wen Tao recognized that it was a signal for help, which was similar to the whistles that Mo Chuihe blew just now, but after those whistles just now, there was no echo at all None, Wen Tao didn't dare to say, but she was mentally prepared for the worst.But... when she suddenly heard the wolf whistle, she felt mixed feelings, "Lang Jun, could it be the princess..."

Before he could say the following words, Mo Chuohe had already picked up the long knife in his hand, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the direction where the wolf's whistle came.

Wen Tao froze for a moment, then grabbed the short sword she carried with her and followed, as did Jing Duo.

A group of people walked quickly following the sound of the whistle, and after walking not far away, they heard the sound of fighting as weapons were exchanged, then quickened their pace again, and rushed over to see the two sides fighting, Mo Chuohe's expression froze slightly, The next moment he raised the knife and joined the battle with Jing Duo and others.

With their participation, the originally stalemate battle situation soon became clear. Although those red-eyed forbidden soldiers were no longer ordinary people, they didn't know pain, and they didn't fear life and death, but they were still flesh and blood after all, vulnerable to absolute strength. It was quickly defeated.

The sound of fighting gradually subsided, and the surroundings were surrounded by a strong and disgusting smell of blood, but Su Le let out a long sigh of relief, stepped forward, and lightly thumped Mo Chuohe's chest, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" As he said, he turned his eyes to the side behind him, aiming at Princess Huiming and Li Xin, who were in a mess but had to be completely bearded.

Princess Huiming was also looking here from afar through the crowd, her eyes fell on Mo Chuohe, she hesitated to speak for several times.

But Mo Chuohe didn't look at her at all, and he didn't even look at Su Le. He just pursed his lips tightly, his face was always expressionless, but there was an extremely gloomy aura all over his body, which occasionally leaked out from his eyes. The cold light, all contained the murderous aura of Senrui.

Su Le grew up with him, and immediately noticed something was wrong with him. He smiled and lowered his voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mo Siuhe didn't answer him.Su Le's inquiring gaze turned to Jing Duo and Wen Tao, both of whom were silent, and even lowered their eyes subconsciously, avoiding his sight.

Su Le walked around in the crowd, and when he noticed something, his pupils and heart shrank suddenly, "Princess, where is the snow?"

Still no one answered him. With a sound of "Keng", Mo Chuohe threw away the blood-soaked steel knife in his hand, and suddenly turned around.
