Chapter 541 Snow Girl

"Everyone will be here soon," he said.

She looked at the man riding a horse in the bronze mirror and said, "Now you can tell me what you are going to do."

He smiled slightly and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

She turned her back, closed her eyes and dozed off. After a while, she said, "You'd better not lie to me this time."

He smiled slightly, gently picked up a strand of her hair that had fallen outside and placed it on the pillow, then adjusted the thin blanket covering her body, and then closed his eyes to rest.

……

In the evening, the carriage stopped at the door of a mansion.

Murong Ze came out and took the two of them in.

On the way, Murongze asked, "Sir, are you still living in the Water Pavilion?" She asked him, "Have you lived here before?" He said he lived here for a while a long time ago. She asked how long it had been, and he said it had been twenty years. Murongze said, "Thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have become a wandering ghost now." She asked what happened, and Murongze told her about his experience when he was young, he was tricked into the ice field, accidentally fell into an ice hole, and was rescued.

Coincidentally, the ice hole was the one she had used to escape before.

"You call me princess, can't you see that I'm not her?" she said.

Murongze smiled faintly and said, "Then how should I address you young lady?"

She thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Miss Snow." Murong Ze called her Miss Snow.

After arriving at the Water Pavilion, Murong Ze said that two people wanted to see her. She asked who they were, and he said they were the two personal maids, He He and Ling Ling, who had accompanied Ye Lingxi to marry in the Northern Territory. She said that she was not a princess and would not meet them, but changed her mind the next moment.

Murongze asked Jingzhe to bring the two over. He went back to the room first, leaving her and Murongze in the hall. She sat down and took a sip of tea, and asked, "Do you know what he is going to do?" Murongze sat on a chair at the other end and replied, "What the master wants to do, I am afraid no one else in this world knows except the master himself." He asked again, "Are you hungry, Miss Xue? Do you want to eat something first?" She put the teacup on the table, supported her head with one hand and looked at him and asked, "Then can you guess what he wants to do?" Murongze asked back, "Can Miss Xue guess it?" She turned her head and looked outside the door and said, "I guess I can guess it."

……

Seeing her, He He and Ling Dang could no longer control themselves, tears fell like beans, and they knelt down to kowtow to her, but she asked them to stand up, saying that they had made a mistake. He He and Ling Dang could not believe that she was not Ye Lingxi, they looked exactly the same, and the blue mark on her forehead had appeared before. In desperation, Ling Dang pointed the spearhead at Murong Ze, "Your Majesty, how could the princess not recognize us?" Jing Zhe pulled Ling Dang back, intending to protect her.

Murong Ze said: "This is Miss Xue, she just looks a bit like the princess."

Lingling was unconvinced and said, "They don't just look a bit alike, they are exactly the same, they are the princess."

She said, "Since you insist on treating me like a princess, and you don't look stupid, and I just happen to be in need of two people to talk to, then stay."

The two were naturally happy to be able to stay, and would have been even happier if it hadn't been for that sentence at the beginning.

So the two of them stayed in the water pavilion.

Murong Ze asked her to rest early and when he took Jingzhe away, Jingzhe glanced at Lingling, seeming a little worried.

After leaving the water pavilion, Jingzhe asked, "Is that Miss Xue really a princess?" Murongze said, "Is there anyone else in the world who looks so similar?" Jingzhe said nothing. ...

As soon as Yan Fei entered the northern border, he met an acquaintance, Qin Yin.

Three years ago, after Yan Jiang and Yan Fei returned to the capital, Qin Yin's true identity was exposed. Ye Lanchen wanted the Dragon Shadow Guard to secretly arrest and interrogate him, but he slipped away the night before the Dragon Shadow Guard was ready to act, as if he had received the news in advance. Yan Jiang speculated that he would return to the northern border after leaving the capital, so he led his men to chase him all the way to the northern border. He appeared in front of Murong Ze as a secret envoy. Although he wore a death mask on his face, the two of them knew his true identity tacitly.

Murongze did not expose Yanjiang's identity, and asked him what he was doing. Yanjiang said that he was ordered to capture a bandit, who changed his name and joined the army, rose step by step, and became a third-rank general. After his identity was exposed, he fled all the way to the northern border. Murongze said that he would ask the Xuanyi Army to be more careful, and dealt with it with one sentence.

Yan Jiang stayed for two more days with the Dragon Shadow Guard, conducted some open and secret investigations on the streets, and then returned to the capital.

Now the other party appeared in front of Yan Fei, saying that he was here to pick him up and had been waiting for a long time. Yan Fei asked him how he knew he would come, and Qin Yin smiled and said, "I am just following orders, the prince is still waiting." At this point, he looked at Yan Fei again, "I thought you would become a useless person, but I didn't expect that your hands and feet can still move, and you can still ride a horse." He drew the sword from his waist and smiled, "Then let me try, are your martial arts still there."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up from his horse. Dark red blood lines suddenly appeared on his face. The sword in his hand also turned a bright red and chopped down at Yan Fei head-on.

Yan Fei's eyes flashed with that strange light again. When the hot air gushing out of the sword blade was about to burn his face, he flashed and appeared in the air. He chopped off the blazing red sword with one knife, and kicked Qin Yin in the chest and kicked him to the ground. When he landed, a dagger was across Qin Yin's neck. Qin Yin smiled and said, "Your martial arts have improved. It seems that this is a blessing in disguise."

Yan Fei put away the dagger, and Qin Yin smiled and said, "You are not going to kill me?" Yan Fei said, "You are a wanted criminal of the court, and the emperor has the final say on how to deal with you." Qin Yin showed a sarcastic smile on his face, which turned into a painful and distorted look in the blink of an eye. Yan Fei broke up his Dantian true energy with a palm, abolished his martial arts, tied him to the horse's back with a noose, and then rode on the yellow horse, holding the reins in one hand and pulling the big black horse that Qin Yin rode with the other hand, and continued on their way.

Yu arrived at the city gate at noon. When entering the city, he was stopped and interrogated by the soldiers guarding the city. He said that he was a guest invited by the palace. A soldier ran to the palace to report, and then Jingzhe came and took Yan Fei to the palace.

On the way, Yan Fei asked Jing Zhe if he knew the man tied to the horse. Jing Zhe replied that he had seen him in the capital before. He was General Qin. Yan Fei said that the man changed his name and joined the army to steal information. He was a wanted criminal of the court. In two days, the Dragon Shadow Guard would come and take him back. Jing Zhe said nothing.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Yan Fei dismounted first and untied Qin Yin from the horse's back, then tied him up with a noose and followed Jingzhe into the palace.

After arriving at the hall, Jingzhe asked Yan Fei to wait for a moment while he went to report. Yan Fei waited for half an hour before Murong Ze came slowly. He didn't even look at Yan Fei. He glanced at the embarrassed Qin Yin as he passed by. In a flash, a poisonous bee was shot onto the pillar by a dart.

"Your Highness, do you want to kill people to silence them?" Yan Fei said.

Murong Ze walked to the armchair in front and sat down. He picked up the teacup and scraped it twice before saying, "What's the point of keeping a useless piece of trash?"

Qin Yin sneered and said, "It is my subordinates who failed to do their job well and betrayed the prince's trust."

Murong Ze said: "Then tell me what I asked you to do."

Qin Yin remained silent.

"Why don't you say anything? Do you want to save it until you speak in front of the emperor?" Murong Ze said.

Qin Yin said: "I dare not."

Murongze smiled faintly and said, "What are you doing here again this time?" Yan Fei said, "I heard that there is a kind of cicada here that can detoxify. I came to look for it." Murongze said, "For whom?" Yan Fei asked in return, "Don't you know, Your Majesty?" Murongze said, "Should I know?" Yan Fei said, "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, I will stay in your house for a few days, and leave after I find the cicada." Murongze said, "Please." After speaking, he stood up and left. When he reached the door, he stopped and said, "There is already a guest staying at the Water Pavilion. There will be another distinguished guest coming tomorrow. Let him stay in the Changyin Pavilion at the back so as not to disturb the guest."

Jingzhe took the order and took Yan Fei there, and Qin Yin also followed.
