Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 163
There was a faint smell of blood in the house, and everyone's faces were ugly. The plan that was originally flawless, but because of their negligence, caused the current situation.

The big man suddenly asked: "You say, who is the one who attacked us tonight?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

After a while, someone said: "If I guessed correctly, they should be the Xuan Yuwei under King Jing."

They have all heard the name of Xuanyuwei. Back then, Xuanyuwei's iron cavalry stepped across the grasslands of the northern border and beheaded their clansmen under the knife. How cruel and bloody was the scene?
But compared to Xuanyuwei, what is more frightening is its owner—His Royal Highness King Jing of Dayan.

Back then, Fu Mingjue fought with King Jing'an in the Tatar war and led his troops to slaughter five Tatar cities. Such insane methods are really frightening.

They have been hiding in the capital for so long and are cautious everywhere. Who would have thought that they would be careless today and directly offend Fu Mingjue, the evil spirit?

Thinking of this, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside the door, and the person closest to the door stood up abruptly, subconsciously clenched the knife, and after seeing the person coming through the crack of the door, his body suddenly relaxed.

The next moment, the door was opened, and several snowflakes were blown in instantly.

"Your Highness, you are finally back."

Yuan Yuxuan wore an indigo embroidered green pine cloak, her black hair was tied up with a gold hairpin, her nose was high, and her eyes were sharp, not as cold and dignified as Fu Mingjue, but a little more Wild roughness.

He coldly glanced at everyone present, and when he saw the man who had just bandaged his wound, he suddenly became angry: "Idiots! Who told you to act without authorization?"

"Your Highness, calm down!" Everyone quickly knelt down and confessed.

With anger in her eyes, Yuan Yuxuan strode up to the head and sat down, said coldly: "Before I left, did my prince tell you that you would never be allowed to step out of the other courtyard without my order?"

"But you have ignored my prince's words!"

"His Royal Highness, please calm down, your subordinates have no such intentions!" The leading man bit the bullet and explained, "We have been in the capital for dozens of days, but we have not made any progress. Seeing the southern border, the envoys from Xizhou are about to enter the capital. , if we don’t rush to find that person before then, I’m afraid our previous efforts will be in vain!”

"This prince makes his own decisions, why do you need to make your own decisions?"

What he said made Na Jia feel a little displeased. He was a close minister of the king after all, but now he was going to be angry with Yuan Yuxuan.

Seeing that the atmosphere was condensed, the others hurried out to persuade them: "Your Highness, we are also impatient, after all, we are going to the court meeting soon."

This time they entered the capital ahead of schedule because of the king's secret decree. They deliberately concealed their whereabouts in order to buy more time to find that person. But now that they have been discovered by Fu Mingjue, they are one step closer to being exposed.

Yuan Yuxuan's eyes darkened, and he said: "What's the use of being anxious? Since my father has given me the token, I will do it myself."

Hearing his words, Na Jia paused: "Did you already find that person, Your Highness?"

"Well," he took a sip of tea, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow in his eyes, "I received a confidential letter this morning, which said that we will meet in Huixian Tower in seven days."

"Huixianlou?" Najia was taken aback, he had heard of Huixianlou, it was on this street, but the place where they met was so close to their foothold, and it had to be doubted, "Your Highness, this time Is the news accurate?"

Yuan Yuxuan said: "There is nothing wrong with that. The letter contains the secret code of the Beidi royal family. No one else knows it except him."

Before coming to Dayan, his father had explained that the man was very important to Beidi, but he didn't want to reveal his identity. He only said that the man would contact him when he arrived in the capital.

After waiting in the capital for half a month, I finally got news from him today.

Seven days later will be the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are three days before the court meeting. If I remember correctly, that day happens to be the day when the envoys from Nanjiang and Xizhou will come to Beijing to meet.

It's just that I don't know what is his purpose in choosing this day on purpose?
"Don't go out for the next few days, everything will be discussed after seeing him."

Najia expressed concern about this: "Your Highness, I'm afraid we can't stay here anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Xuan Yuwei has already discovered us. According to Fu Mingjue's temperament, he probably has already searched the whole city for our whereabouts."

Hearing Fu Mingjue's name, Yuan Yuxuan's complexion suddenly changed: "You were discovered by Fu Mingjue?!"

Although so many years have passed, the name Fu Mingjue is more terrifying than King Jing'an in the northern border. Who would have thought that they would actually get into trouble with Fu Mingjue?

Najia immediately admitted his mistake: "This subordinate was negligent, and please ask Your Highness to beat him and punish him. This subordinate is willing to accept the crime, but the most urgent thing is to think about how to stay in the capital safely."

Yuan Yuxuan glared at him fiercely, the fist hidden under the big sleeve loosened and tightened, and gritted his teeth: "This prince will not punish you for the time being. When you return to Beidi, you will ask your father for your crime!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

Yuan Yuxuan snorted coldly and said nothing more.

What happened tonight is just over.

The seven days may not be long or short, but for those literati and nobles, it is a big deal——Mu Xiaoxiao has a performance on the fifth day of every month, and you can hear the little girl's performance without spending money. It's the song, isn't that important?
Of course it matters!
Similarly, today's fifth day is also a big event for the officials in the court.

The envoys from Nanjiang and Xizhou are expected to arrive in the capital at noon today, and His Majesty sent Fu Mingjue to meet them.

Early in the morning, Ling Youyao was awakened by Fu Mingjue's movement. She pushed someone, but before she opened her eyes, she urged: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent you to meet the envoys. You should get up."

Fu Mingjue didn't seem to hear, grabbed her wrist, and said with a smile: "It's only past [-]:[-], and you go so early, do you want me to wait for them at the gate of the city?"

Ling Youyao forced a laugh: "Then you should lie down."

Since the beginning of winter, this man has made excuses to stay in her yard, because he is afraid that she will sleep alone at night and be cold.

I thought that Fu Mingjue just wanted to tease her on a whim, but who thought he was serious, so he stayed here for half a month.However, there are more people around, and it is indeed much warmer to sleep at night, and there is no need to stuff Tang Pozi under the bed anymore.

Fu Mingjue pulled her into his arms, hugged her habitually, and said, "There will be a banquet in the palace tonight, and the king may come back later. If you are sleepy, go to bed first."

Ling Youyao fell into a drowsy sleep, and after turning her head for a long time, she didn't understand what he was talking about, so she only replied vaguely: "Okay."

I don't know when it started, but she seemed to have gotten used to Fu Mingjue's side, and the other person seemed to have changed unconsciously.

If you don't think about the future, it seems to be pretty good now.
Thinking about it, Ling Youyao couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth.
