Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 240 It's Too Late

Lingshu received Xie Wanqing's order and did not dare to delay, and immediately headed towards Xie's mansion, while Xie Wanqing and Xuanyuan Jue went straight to the East Palace.

I just hope that everything is still in time...

Half an hour ago, Feng Duo abandoned his sword and left, but he didn't go back directly to the East Palace. Instead, he lingered in a hidden place near the East Palace for a long time, thinking carefully about the relationship between him and the Crown Prince and King Jing. Because the prince ordered him to assassinate Xuanyuan Jue, he had to follow the order, but when facing Xuanyuan Jue, he couldn't bear it. He didn't want to hurt or rebel against these two people who grew up with him.

Now, he let Xuanyuan Jue go, but he still had to go back and face the prince, who was his good brother in childhood and also his master!
Feng Duo had already calculated his own ending, he understood the prince's temper, and he might not be able to come out again this trip.

Looking at the sky, Feng Duo took a long breath and walked towards the East Palace.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ming was waiting in the prince's mansion anxiously. He believed that Xie Chongguang could settle the rest of the matter. Xie Chongguang couldn't help him——

That was the end of Xuanyuan Jue's life.

Looking at the time, Feng Duo has been out for a long time, and if the matter is successful, he should be back now, if the matter fails... at most Feng Duo will be killed by Xuanyuan Jue's people.

No, Xuanyuan Ming had been confused all his life, but he was extremely shrewd in this matter. He was sure that Xuanyuan Jue would not kill Feng Duo, so no matter what the result was, Feng Duo would come back.

Xuanyuanming had sent people outside to investigate more than once, and he was looking forward to someone coming to inform him that Feng Duo had returned.

Xuanyuan Ming was already devastated enough, but Xie Siru did not feel the anxiety of the current situation at all, and was still looking for opportunities to please Xuanyuan Ming. At this moment, she was walking towards Xuanyuan Ming's bedroom with her skirt and food in her hands. Come, looking at the lights in Xuanyuanming's dormitory, and not seeing the prince summoning others to wait on him tonight, Xie Siru thought that he might have a chance to get close to the prince, so as to clear up the previous misunderstanding.

However, Xie Siru had just approached Xuanyuanming's dormitory when he was stopped by someone, and the guard outside Xuanyuanming's room shouted coldly: "Your Highness will not see anyone tonight!"

They are the guards who are only loyal to Xuanyuan Ming, so naturally they don't pay much attention to Yingyingyanyan in this mansion, including Xie Siru.

Xie Siru was annoyed for a while, she was a master after all, but she was humiliated by two little guards, and when she was about to get angry, she thought, if something happened at this time, His Royal Highness would definitely get angry with her again, it would be self-defeating .

Gritting his teeth, Xie Siru swallowed the breath forcefully, raised the food box in his hand with both hands and said: "I'll bring some food to His Royal Highness, but His Highness didn't see dinner, so..."

The two guards looked at each other, then at the food box in Xie Siru's hand, thinking about whether to go in and report.

Xie Siru softly said: "Please tell me..."

Seeing Xie Siru's sincerity, the guard was a little moved, thought for a while, and went in to consult for her.

"Your Highness!" The guard had just entered, and Xuanyuan Ming was startled, "Is Feng Duo back?"

The guard shook his head, Xuanyuan was clearly disappointed, sat down again, and asked: "What's the matter?"

"Return to Your Highness, thank you... Concubine Shu has brought you food!"

Xuanyuan Ming's whole heart is on the outside at the moment, how can he have any thoughts about eating, and Xie Siru came to bother him at this time, it will inevitably make him unhappy, without thinking, he said: "Tell her to go back, don't come out and run around if you have nothing to do, I don't have time to see her right now!"

"Yes--"

The guards brought Xuanyuan Ming's original words to Xie Siru verbatim, Xie Siru was very disappointed when he heard it, and when he was about to ask, the two guards put on a face again.

Xie Siru pursed her lips, a sense of grievance welled up in her heart, she turned around sadly, and bumped into Feng Duo who had just come back from the outside, the food box in her hand fell to the ground, and the snacks in the food box fell to the ground in an instant.

Xie Siru's originally suppressed anger was all aroused at this moment, and he raised his voice and shouted: "Don't you have eyes?"

Without raising his eyelids, Feng Duo passed Xie Siru directly, almost tripping Xie Siru to the ground.

Accompanied by Xie Siru's cursing voice, Feng Duo pushed the door open and entered Xuanyuanming's bedroom, until he saw Feng Duo himself, Xuanyuanming's heart fell to the ground, seeing that Feng Duo was intact, not even a trace of blood on his body Come on, I thought, did things go so smoothly?
"How?" Xuanyuan Ming couldn't wait to grab Feng Duo and asked.

Feng Duo's eyes dimmed slightly, and he replied in a deep voice: "Your Highness...I..."

"Is he dead?" Obviously, Xuanyuan Ming didn't care about the process of the matter, he only wanted to know the result he was most looking forward to.

Feng Duo hesitated for a while, and told the truth: "Your Highness, this subordinate...Your Majesty's work is not good...Your Highness, please punish me!"

Xuanyuan Ming staggered for a moment, let go of Feng Duo suddenly, and looked up at him: "What did you say?"

"Subordinate..." Feng Duo suddenly knelt down, "Subordinate is really..."

"So, you failed to kill him?" Xuanyuanming sneered for a while: "It was you who failed to kill him, or you didn't think about killing him!" Although the result is the same, the essence is different. If the former Xuanyuanming might still keep Feng Duo alive, at least he is still loyal to him, but if the latter... Xuanyuanming felt a chill in his heart, he would not keep anyone who betrayed him!
Feng Duo could have explained that he was inferior to others and couldn't kill Xuanyuan Jue, but the last ounce of loyalty in his heart forced him to choose to be honest and honest, and he only heard him say: "Return to Your Highness, because this subordinate can't bear to do it." ..."

Xuanyuan Ming's expression changed suddenly, and he turned to stare at Feng Duo, "You can't bear it?"

Feng Duo pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"Okay! Very good!" Xuanyuan laughed loudly: "A Duo, I have treated you well. You have been with me for so many years, how have I ever done you any harm?"

"Your Highness treats his subordinates with deep affection, and I dare not forget them." Feng Duo lowered his head, "But Your Highness, Your Highness Prince Jing, after all, are your blood relatives..."

"Shut up!" Xuanyuan Ming seemed extremely disgusted to hear Feng Duo's voice again at this moment. He pinned all his hopes on Feng Duo alone, but he didn't expect it to be broken in his hands in the end.

"Do you think that if you can't bear it, I won't be able to kill him?" Xuanyuan Ming suddenly drew his sword, and his lingering eyes swept across Feng Duo, wishing he could smash his body into thousands of pieces immediately.

In Xuanyuan Ming's eyes, he never even considered a brother like Xuanyuan Jue, let alone Feng Duo?
There was a trace of sadness in Feng Duo's heart, but he stubbornly guarded their weak brotherhood. Even if he died at the hands of Xuanyuan Ming today, he would not complain.

Outside the heavily guarded Prince's Mansion, Xie Wanqing and Xuanyuan Jue, who were not in the dark night, looked at each other tacitly. Xuanyuan Jue's hand suddenly reached out to Xie Wanqing's waist. Xie Wanqing trembled all over. Although it is not the first time that they have such an intimate act, every time Xie Wanqing feels a strange feeling, as usual, Xuanyuan Jue dragged Xie Wanqing through the night with light work, Xie Wanqing seemed a little bit Worried: "My lord, your hand..."

"This little injury is fine."

It was not the first time for them to climb onto the roof of a house. The last time they were in the Ning Mansion, this time they were in the Prince's Mansion. There seemed to be no difference.

However, the defense of the Prince's Mansion is much stricter than that of the Ning Mansion.

Xuanyuan Jue led Xie Wanqing to Xuanyuanming's bedroom familiarly, Xie Wanqing sneered: "My lord is really skilled in doing this kind of thing, the prince's mansion is probably not as good as you Get familiar with it!"

Xuanyuanjue raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, subconsciously thinking that Xie Wanqing was praising him, but then he felt that something was wrong, all the changes in his expression fell into Xie Wanqing's eyes.

At this moment, the faces of the two were very close. Xie Wanqing's cheeks were hot. If she had a bronze mirror in her hand, she would be able to see how red her cheeks were. After a while of embarrassment, Xie Wanqing suddenly reminded: " Someone came out!"

The two of them crawled on the roof and looked down. It was Xuanyuan Ming who came out of the room, holding a bloody sword in his hand.

And behind Xuanyuan Ming, two guards were dragging a man out. The man was covered in blood, his limbs were limp, and his life and death were unknown, but Xuanyuan Jue recognized him at a glance, and blurted out: "A Duo!"

Seeing that Xuanyuan Jue couldn't hold back the impulse and was about to rush down to snatch someone from Xuanyuan Ming, Xie Wanqing quickly pressed Xuanyuan Jue with her eyes and said, "My lord, don't be impulsive!"

"But..." Xuanyuan Jue looked at the blood dripping from Feng Duo's body and Xuanyuan Ming's lonely back, and suddenly became angry, and he could vaguely hear Xuanyuan Ming ordering: "Did you see it? This is betrayal Ben Gong's fate, go, cut off his head to Ben Gong, so as to remind you, lest someone imitate him in the future!"

Xuanyuan Ming's words were poured into Xuanyuan Jue's ears as well as Xie Wanqing's ears like the night wind mixed with the night wind one after another, they were still late...

Xie Wanqing silently grasped Xuanyuan Jue's hand, and could clearly feel the cold sweat continuously overflowing from Xuanyuan Jue's palm. Xie Wanqing couldn't understand Xuanyuan Jue's feelings for Feng Duo, but she could see that Xuanyuan Jue's heart at this moment was full of love. What kind of resentment and struggle.

"He... died because of me..." Xuanyuan Jue's throat was slightly sour. Xie Wanqing had never seen such a helpless and lost Xuanyuan Jue. In front of her, Xuanyuan Jue had always been tall and mighty The existence of her is her arm and her support, but at this moment, Xie Wanqing suddenly felt that no matter how powerful an existence is, it also needs the warmth and embrace of others.

Inexplicably wanting to hug Xuanyuan Jue, Xie Wanqing didn't even think about it, she opened her arms and embraced him, "There's still me...I'm still here!"
