Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 289
It was night, and the palace lanterns fluttered in the hallway.

It was already late at night, and the normally silent palace was plunged into a deep darkness.Only the patrolling guards walked back and forth, and there was no other movement.

But the deeper restlessness is the human heart.

Yingying was lying on the bed at the moment, but she was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and the words that Xuanyuan Mingfu whispered to her during the day came back and forth in her ears.Word by word, word by word echoed clearly in my mind.

King Jing is trapped, King Jing is trapped...

How could such a shrewd person, who was so stunning and intelligent, be easily trapped in the hands of the King of Xiangyang?
Yingying was half anxious and half doubtful, which made her unable to sleep at all.He simply got up and walked around, put on his coat and turned on the lamp, and sat at the table for some contemplation.

The noise from the hall woke up the little maid who was sleeping lightly outside the hall.The little maid got up in a daze, and saw that the lights were on in the inner hall, thinking that something happened, she knocked lightly on the door.

Yingying was startled by the sudden knock on the door, and then heard the maid's voice from outside the door, "Miss Yingxue, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Yingying seemed to remember that she was in Concubine De's palace, she shook her head helplessly, and said, "It's just that I'm a little thirsty, it's okay, you can continue to sleep."

Hearing this, the little palace maid couldn't help but said: "It's late at night, I'm afraid the tea is a little cold, my servant will go and make you a hot pot."

Yingying lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Don't bother, I just take a sip to moisten my throat, nothing happened."

The little maid had no choice but to nod, and listened quietly on the door frame slightly, only hearing the sound of tea being poured from the room, then she relaxed her body again and continued to sleep.

Yingying heard that there was no movement outside the house, so she put the celadon cup aside and stared at it intently.But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. For a while, he was so confused that he couldn't do anything, and he almost lost his footing.

If something happened to Xuanyuan Jue, then all his efforts would be in vain.Without Xuanyuan Jue, even if things come to fruition, I'm afraid there will only be helplessness and loneliness left.This feeling that she may fall short at any time makes Yingying very resistant, but now that she is trapped in the deep palace, there is nothing left to do.

Sighing deeply, Yingying got up from the stool and sat back on the bed.The burning crackling red candles dyed the whole room in a warm color, but no matter how warm it was, it couldn't warm Yingying's heart.

If something happened to Xuanyuan Jue, even if he broke the boat, he would drag the prince into the water.

Thinking of this, Yingying's face couldn't help being tinged with an icy chill, making her daunting.

Just when Yingying was restless and tossing and turning, Xie Wanqing and her party finally arrived at Fengling Town.

Fengling Town is the nearest town to Xiangyang City, because it is thousands of miles away from the imperial city, so the time is also different from the imperial city.So when Xie Wanqing and his group arrived at the outskirts of the town, they happened to encounter the beautiful scenery where the sun was about to set.

The style of the northern border is very different from that of the imperial city. Compared with the majesty and uprightness of the red walls and golden tiles of the imperial city, the desert wind and sand in the northern border is much more carefree.On the swaying carriage, Xie Wanqing couldn't help reaching out to pick up the curtains. It just so happened that the last light of the setting red sun came into Xie Wanqing's eyes through the curtains.

For a time, the light shines.

I saw that under the wind and sand in the desert, the red sun was like a huge fireball, dyeing the sand and soil around ten miles into red, and the momentum of the prairie fire spread instantly, as if it wanted to burn out the last bit of light.

Even Xie Wanqing had never seen such a magnificent scene beyond the Great Wall.Over the years of intrigue in the imperial city, it's not like I haven't seen the sunset, but this sunset outside the Great Wall is the first time that Xie Wanqing has a subtle emotion.

Really strange.

Squinting her eyes, Xie Wanqing lowered the curtain and said, "Sure enough, it's a beautiful view outside the Great Wall. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, I would really like to see the view outside Xiangyang City."

Lingshu and Su Wen looked at each other, knowing each other well.

Ever since Xuanyuan Jue was trapped, Xie Wanqing seemed to have lost three souls. Even though she still had the desire to speak at this moment, anyone could tell that her heart was completely on Xuanyuan Jue.

Perhaps even Xie Wanqing didn't expect that Xuanyuan Jue actually existed like a life in her heart.

Looking at Xie Wanqing's pale face, Lingshu and Su Wen naturally understood Xuanyuan Jue's position in their master's heart, but the current appearance of their master made them even more anxious.

If even Xie Wanqing is down, how can His Royal Highness King Jing be saved?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

"Fengling Town is the closest town to Xiangyang City. Because of the convenient traffic, there are many people from the Jianghu court. Although this place is unpredictable, it is very convenient for us to hide." Lingshu raised the curtain slightly to look Glancing out the window, he continued.

This sound was intended to break the delicate atmosphere in the carriage at this time, Xie Wanqing naturally understood it very well, and then said: "Hiding is good, but there are many robbers and bandits here. After all, we are foreigners, and everything must be done. careful."

"There are many people here, so naturally there are many different ideas. Your safety, master, is the most important thing." Lingshu frowned, but at this moment he didn't think of any better way to protect Xie Wanqing.

Su Wen nodded, but seemed to think of something suddenly, leaned out slightly and whispered something to Akabane who was driving.

Akabane understood it, and turned the carriage in one direction, instead of going to the town according to the road, but turned the horse's head and walked towards the reef forest that he just passed by.

Seeing this, Lingshu couldn't help feeling a little strange, and asked with his head: "Chiyu, where are you going?"

"You will know later, sit back quickly." Akabane just drove the carriage forward, and said a word.

Lingshu frowned, got back into the carriage, turned around and asked, "Su Wen, what are you going to do?"

But Su Wen didn't bother to answer, took a bag from one side, quickly untied the bag, and saw that there were several clothes wrapped in the bag. Although the styles were different, it was obvious that all of them were the same. It's Hu Fu.

Xie Wanqing suddenly laughed softly, with a strange flush on her pale face, and said: "Su Wen is still thoughtful, Lingshu should ask Su Wen for advice more."

At this moment, Lingshu thought of Su Wen's meaning, snorted dissatisfied, and said, "Miss, you are biased!"

Even though he said this, he didn't look angry at all, instead he took the Hu clothes from Su Wen's hand and handed them out one by one, and handed him Chi Yu's suit as well.

Akabane parked the carriage in a hidden place at this time, looked around and checked again and again that there was nothing unusual before stopping the carriage, reached out to take the Hu suit, Akabane opened the door and said to Xie Wanqing: "Master, Although it is hidden here, it is still somewhat dangerous, the three of you changed your clothes early, so we can reach the town to rest before sunset."

Xie Wanqing nodded, and said, "Act quickly, so as not to be discovered."

Everyone nodded, Akabane closed the car door, turned around and went to a hidden place to change clothes.After a while, the group of people finished changing their clothes. Su Wen rewrapped the clothes they had changed, put them in the dark compartment where the carriage sat, and said: "It's getting late, let's go to the town as soon as possible." Bar."

Xie Wanqing nodded, just about to move her seat, but felt a sense of dizziness overwhelmed her, for a moment she slipped and fell onto the carriage.

This move made the three of them jump, and Lingshu hurriedly grabbed Xie Wanqing's hand, showing anxiety on his face: "Master, what's wrong with you, master?!"

Xie Wanqing's eyes were blurred, and the unnatural red tide on her face was getting heavier and heavier, she wanted to speak but she seemed to have suddenly lost her strength, and she couldn't speak at all.

Su Wen frowned immediately, took Xie Wanqing's hand to feel her pulse, was startled, and said: "No, the master is seriously ill, and I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to hold on for so many days."

While talking, Su Wen took out a pill from the medicine box and put it into Xie Wanqing's mouth. The pill melted in the mouth, and after Xie Wanqing swallowed it, she became a little unconscious.

Su Wen helped Xie Wanqing to lie down, covered Xie Wanqing with a blanket, turned her head and said to the two people behind her: "King Jing is trapped, the master has already suffered a serious illness due to physical and mental exhaustion, but this illness has not yet come. It’s so clean, so I came to the northern border with exhausted boats and cars. The wind, food, and camping along the way will do great harm to the master’s body, so there is no need to delay any longer, so let’s go to the town quickly and have a good rest.”

At this time, Lingshu was a bit confused, and when he heard what Suwen said, he hurriedly said to Chiyu: "Why are you hesitating, let's go into town quickly."

After hearing this, Akabane shook his head hesitantly, and said, "No. You can't go."

"What?" Hearing Chiyu's answer, Su Wen couldn't help being more puzzled, and said, "Why not?"

"Master fell ill this time. If we are in peace, we will definitely stay in an inn. The innkeeper's fiery eyes that have been cultivated for many years may see through us at a glance. Although we are wearing Hu suits, we don't look like this People from the north, if something else happens, they will be in trouble."

Hearing Chiyu's words, Lingshu immediately became furious, and because Xie Wanqing was unconscious at this time, Lingshu had to lower his voice and said: "Is the status more important than the master's life?! Don't forget, There is still one trapped in Xiangyang City right now!"

"I just said that because I knew that person was still trapped in the city!" Akabane also frowned, and his usually cold eyes became darker now, "Master is more anxious than anyone else for being trapped, but right now The master fell ill, if we enter the store rashly, our identities will be exposed even more easily! If we are all caught, you say, what will the two of you do?!"

Lingshu and Suwen choked for a moment, then turned to look at the sleeping Xie Wanqing.The mood of the three of them was like breaking a bottle, with mixed feelings.

If Xie Wanqing is allowed to do this, it will only worsen the situation at hand, but if he enters the town, he will face another hidden risk.

These two, no matter which one, the three of them cannot bear.

This burst of anxiety is really difficult to deal with!
