Chapter 40 Escape
Xia Er nodded again.

Mingzhu was inexplicably angry, she was angry with Dong Xiaotian for hiding it, why did he hide it from herself?Let everyone hide it together?She stretched out her hand to hold Xia'er's hand, staring and asked, "Xia'er, you are my closest person. I believe what you said. I don't blame you for keeping it from me earlier. But now you have to tell me the truth .”

"Master, I..." Xia'er looked into her clear eyes, bit her lips and said, "I've said everything."

"After you met an assassin in Guanghan Temple, you were seriously injured and died, and the imperial physicians were helpless. The prince suddenly took a medicine, and then cured you. What is the medicine called Golden Toad's Tears? Anyway, the imperial physicians were all dumbfounded at that time." gone."

"Later, you ate the candied fruit sent by the prince, and you vomited blood and passed out in the middle of the night."

"The imperial physicians treated you in the middle of the night and found that the candied fruit was poisonous, and you were poisoned."

"So..." Xia'er put all kinds of things together in a few words, and only mentioned the general idea, "So the prince just..."

After Mingzhu listened quietly, she continued her words, "So he was arrested and thrown into the prison."

"En." Xia'er responded.

Mingzhu's whole body sank. It turned out that so many things happened these days. It turned out that she was seriously injured and died at the beginning. It turned out that what he said about saving her was not just once, but twice.But why was she poisoned?Candied fruit he sent?And why did brother Xiaotian hide it from her again!
After much deliberation, she couldn't figure it out, she just felt that the surroundings were dense.

As if trapped in a fog, she couldn't escape and couldn't get out...

"Master, what are your plans now?" Xia'er asked worriedly when she saw that she was hesitating.

Mingzhu said softly, "I'll wait for brother Xiaotian."

※※※

"His Royal Highness—" Outside the bedroom, the greetings of the maids came.

Mingzhu knew that Dong Xiaotian was coming, she turned her head and saw him walking towards her slowly.He was still dressed in white, still smiling calmly and elegantly, still so gentle and warm, like a spring breeze blowing on his face.But at this moment, she felt that the spring breeze was also contaminated with dust, and it was no longer as bright as before.

"What's the matter? Looking at me like this?" Dong Xiaotian rushed to visit her just after finishing his business, but saw her staring at him stupidly, so he asked in a deep voice.

Mingzhu patted the edge of her bed, and said softly, "Brother Xiaotian, sit here."

Dong Xiaotian rushed to her side, flicked his robes and sat down.The closer he got to her, the more he realized that something was wrong with her.He stretched out his hand towards her, but she grabbed it, "Mingzhu? What's the matter? Could it be something uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine, I'm not sick. It's just that you have something to hide from me." Mingzhu asked with a smile, she wanted him to take the initiative to tell her.

When asked by her, Dong Xiaotian naturally understood that she must have known.

He tightened his eyes, held her little hand instead, and thought about it, "Did she come to you?"

"Don't care if she came to see me or not, I just want to hear Brother Xiaotian tell me yourself." Mingzhu was very stubborn.

Dong Xiaotian was instantly annoyed, he knew earlier that Liu Shuiyao should be sent out of the palace and brought back to the mansion in person, he thought that according to Liu Shuiyao's temperament, he would never come to ask for the Pearl.But unexpectedly, she actually came to ask for the Pearl for the sake of Feng Zhan Xiuzhen!Having settled down, he said solemnly, "Feng Zhanxiu has indeed entered the prison."

When Mingzhu heard him confess, her heart sank suddenly, "He used to save me with the tears of the golden toad?"

"Yes."

"He got hurt because of me?"

"Yes."

"..."

Dong Xiaotian frowned and looked into her eyes, "Although he protected you and saved you, you were poisoned after eating the food he sent! Mingzhu, he wants to poison you, this is also true .”

Mingzhu suddenly remembered what Feng Zhanxiu said casually that day.

He said, if the king wants to give it away, he will give it away. If you are afraid, then don't eat it.Beware of poisonous.

Why, why did he say that.

She doesn't understand, she doesn't understand.She never understood him, understood him.At this moment, she has an impulse, she wants to see him.She wants to meet him and ask him what he thinks, Feng Zhanxiu...

"Mingzhu?" Dong Xiaotian called out.

But she calmed down, her eyes were very gentle, and she said softly, "I want to see him."

"No!" Dong Xiaotian was worried and refused.

Mingzhu held his hand carefully, and although she looked at him beggingly, her words became more determined, "I want to see him."

"Pearl..."

"I, want, see, him."

……

Under her insistence, Dong Xiaotian had no choice but to take her to the prison.Since Tianlao was very far away from Pingle Palace, the two had no choice but to sit in a carriage.The carriage bumped, and Mingzhu felt a little uncomfortable.Seeing her pale face, Dong Xiaotian said in a concentrated voice, "Mingzhu, are you not feeling well? Let's go tomorrow, shall we?"

"No, I have to see him today." Mingzhu's stubbornness broke out at this moment.

At this moment, Dong Xiaotian is not only worried about her body, but also worried about whether Feng Zhanxiu will tell everything between them.Trembling all the way, unknowingly arrived at the prison.

Dusk is over, the afterglow of the setting sun is gradually dissipating, against the sky, the sunset glow looks beautiful and gloomy.

Dong Xiaotian helped Mingzhu get out of the carriage. When the jailer saw the person coming, he immediately knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, Your Highness Princess."

"Open the door." Dong Xiaotian shouted, and the jailer immediately opened the cell door.

With the support of Dong Xiaotian, Mingzhu walked into the prison again. The prison was filled with stench, and Mingzhu covered her mouth in discomfort.

Finally, she saw him...

In the cell, Feng Zhanxiu was half lying in the haystack.Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.When the line of sight touched the person who came, a gleam flickered in the bottom of his eyes.Her little face was pale, and she looked very weak, but she still persisted to get here.It was obviously very uncomfortable, but he insisted on being brave.

Suddenly, he remembered every time she tried to be brave.

This little woman, where does the strength come from, where does the tenacity come from, where does the indomitable come from...

Feng Zhanxiu just felt a little irritable and stood up.

"Brother Xiaotian, I want to talk to him alone." Mingzhu said to Dong Xiaotian beside him.

"Pearl..."

Dong Xiaotian was naturally unwilling. He was about to say something, but stopped because of her firm gaze.I had no choice but to swallow all the words back, let go of my hand very worriedly, and exhorted, "I only give you a little time, you must leave here. If you don't feel well, call me immediately. I'll be outside."

"En." Mingzhu nodded and smiled at him.

Dong Xiaotian was infected by the humidity in the prison, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

As soon as he coughed, Mingzhu immediately reached out and patted his back, "Brother Xiaotian, you should go out quickly, it's too cold here."

"I'm fine." Dong Xiaotian reassured him, took another deep look at Feng Zhanxiu, and finally turned and left.

Feng Zhanxiu watched the two of them play a brother-sister relationship in front of him coldly, and narrowed his eyes in disgust.He just thought it was funny, so he raised the corners of his lips.As soon as Dong Xiaotian left, two eyes locked on Mingzhu, and he sarcastically said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to ask you a word." Mingzhu walked towards the cell and said softly.

Feng Zhanxiu stared at her increasingly pale face, and shouted in a very bad tone, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and get out of here after you finish speaking."

"Poison, did you inject it?" Mingzhu stared at him calmly and spit out such a sentence.

I don't know what happened, but now she and him seem to have switched places.Once, she was thrown into the dungeon by him because of poisoning.Now, he was thrown into prison by his father because of poisoning.It was really like karma, and he finally got it.But why, she only wanted to ask him this question.

Feng Zhanxiu was silent, and after a long silence, he said with a light smile, "Believe it or not is up to you."

But he neither admitted nor denied, but gave such a vague answer.

His answer made Mingzhu feel annoyed.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed the iron fence, and said in a trembling voice, "Feng Zhanxiu, is it really that difficult to ask you for an answer? I only want you for an answer, and you won't give it."

"Haha—" Feng Zhanxiu laughed out loud.

Mingzhu frowned and looked at him in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"Ye Mingzhu..." Feng Zhanxiu read her name and approached her.

The two were close at hand, and she and him faced each other across the iron fence.And his bewitching handsome appearance was particularly vague, and his deep male voice was even more dumb.His eyes, at this time, condensed too much melancholy, the kind that carried endless sorrow and vicissitudes.She was startled suddenly, feeling inexplicably sad.

His black eyes were extremely bright, Feng Zhanxiu said quietly, "I have answered you many times, have you believed it?"

hum-

There was a ringing in her head, and Mingzhu's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Feng Zhanxiu...you..." She was eager to say something, but her chest hurt unbearably.

"You go! Let me get out of here immediately! I don't want to see you!" Feng Zhanxiu bit his lower lip in pain and shouted loudly.

His scolding attracted Dong Xiaotian, he rushed in to take a look, his handsome face immediately paled, "Pearl!"

Dong Xiaotian hurriedly ran to Mingzhu, and hugged her horizontally.

When she turned to leave, Mingzhu was confused, only seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth made her feel hesitant.

※※※

Going in a hurry, returning is also in a hurry.

When she arrived at Pingle Palace, Mingzhu lay on the bed and drank some medicine, the pain finally eased.

She looked at Dong Xiaotian and remained silent.

Seeing her looking at him like this, Dong Xiaotian suddenly found that he couldn't face her.He had no choice but to find a reason to leave, and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late, you should rest." As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and left.

"Brother Xiaotian..." Mingzhu spoke.

Dong Xiaotian suddenly stopped, and heard her soft female voice coming from behind, "I believe him, the poison, he didn't do it."

Mingzhu watched Dong Xiaotian's back, and said softly, "Let him go."

"No!" Dong Xiaotian shouted in a deep voice, clenched his fists, "He poisoned you, I can't let him go. This time it was poisoning, what about next time? Next time it might directly kill you ! I can't put you in danger!"

He turned around and ran to the edge of the bed again, and sat down slowly.

"Mingzhu, doesn't he treat you well?" Dong Xiaotian looked at her in bewilderment, and asked in bewilderment, "Why do you still trust him when he treats you like this?"

Mingzhu shook her head, she was also confused, "I don't know."

"Then don't believe him!" Dong Xiaotian grabbed her hand excitedly and tried to persuade him, "He only has Liu Shuiyao in his heart, and he will only hurt you!"

Liu Shuiyao?A loud voice suddenly came to Mingzhu's ears——

There is only one sentence at the end, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

……

Mingzhu came back to her senses, turned to Dong Xiaotian anxiously, and said softly, "I believe him, and it has nothing to do with Liu Shuiyao being the only one in his heart."

"Let him go, he didn't poison me." She held his hand instead and said every word clearly.

When Dong Xiaotian heard this, he loosened his hands weakly.He stood up abruptly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Feng Zhanxiu, you must not let go!" With a serious brow, he got up and strode away.

"Brother Xiaotian!" Mingzhu didn't expect him to react like this, and shouted at his back.

But Dong Xiaotian walked resolutely, and walked even faster.

As soon as he left, Mingzhu felt dejected and didn't know what to do.

The night was getting dark, she looked at the moon outside the window, and made a decision in her heart, "Xia'er! Help me up!"

"Master?" Xia'er heard the sound and rushed in.

"I'm going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

Ming Zhu insisted on going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but Xia Er had no choice, because she knew that her master's temper had always been stubborn, even stubborn.As long as she decides to do something, she will definitely do it.On the contrary, she won't do things that she doesn't agree with, even if a knife is on her neck.

"Master, please slow down." Xia'er said worriedly, supporting her along the way.

Mingzhu walked very slowly, but she was really anxious, so she couldn't care about the wound on her chest.

When she came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the night was getting darker.

Eunuch De came out to meet her against the cold wind, and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, you haven't recovered from your injuries, why are you here late at night?"

"Eunuch De, I want to see my father." Mingzhu said resolutely.

Eunuch De was stunned for a moment, and said back to God, "You wait, the slave will go pass it on."

"Thank you, Eunuch De." Mingzhu thanked him happily, watching him walk into the hall.

Although it is spring, the cold wind in the middle of the night is still bitterly cold.Mingzhu stood outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, rubbing her hands together from time to time.Xia'er was afraid that she would be cold, so she pulled her cloak closer and said softly, "Master, the lord treats you so badly, and you still do this for the lord's sake. Xia'er feels that it is not worth crying out for you."

"Xiaer." Mingzhu called her name, reached out to hold her hands, and said with a smile, "I don't know why, but I just don't think he will poison. If he really wanted to kill me, he would have killed me long ago." How could he be so stupid, he gave me something by himself and poisoned it?"

Xia'er nodded when she heard her say that, "Master is right. It's just..."

"What?" Pearl asked.

Xia'er looked up at her, and looked at her worriedly, "I'm afraid the prince still treats you badly."

"It hasn't been a day or two since he treated me badly, I'm used to it." Mingzhu shrugged.

At this time, Eunuch De walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, ran behind Mingzhu and sighed, "Princess, you should go back."

"Why?" Mingzhu asked in surprise.

"The emperor won't see you, so you can go back. It's useless for anyone to do the prince's business." Eunuch De watched Mingzhu grow up, so he naturally had some feelings, so he tried to persuade him.He didn't dare to stay any longer, and reminded, "The emperor naturally has the emperor's plan, princess, please go back."

Mingzhu didn't expect that even her father wouldn't want to see her now.What happened to them all?Why must he be punished?
"I won't go!" she said firmly, "Eunuch De, I'll just stand outside and wait until Emperor Father is willing to see me."

Eunuch De was stunned at the moment, "Oh! Princess! You are..."

Then, no matter how Eunuch De tried to persuade her, Mingzhu refused to leave.She was uncomfortably cold, and she pursed her lips so stubbornly that she remained silent.Xia'er supported her and stood side by side, the two of them were like two sculptures.Eunuch De resignedly went into the hall, came out from time to time to have a look, and sighed again.

Mingzhu didn't know how long she stood there, until she even felt numb.

She was almost out of strength, but she held on with one breath.

"Master..." Xia'er shouted, her voice softened half a bit.

Mingzhu gave an "en" suspiciously, and looked at her, "What?"

"Could it be that you're in love with the lord?" Xia Er asked cautiously, focusing on her expression.

Under the night, Mingzhu's face became very blurred.The moonlight fell on the bottom of her eyes, and those eyes became clearer and brighter.She was obviously overwhelmed by this question and froze immediately.Then he chuckled and shook his head hastily, "How could that be? It's impossible, I didn't like him..."

I like the cruel, ruthless, cold-blooded...

That Feng Zhanxiu who has no merits in his body?No, it's impossible...

※※※

After an hour, Mingzhu did not leave.

Another hour passed, and Mingzhu still hadn't left.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, she still refused to leave. She and Xia Er stubbornly stood where they were, waiting for Emperor Hong to summon him.The weather is very cold, and the dew is more likely to catch cold.Eunuch De couldn't stand it anymore, and Emperor Hong also had a sleepless night.At the third watch, Eunuch De was ordered by Emperor Hong to go to the East Palace to invite the prince.

Dong Xiaotian came here at the first moment, he was a little angry, even more unbelievable, sad and nervous.Too many feelings were intertwined, making his expression look gloomy.

From a distance, he saw Mingzhu standing in the cold wind for several hours.

Dong Xiaotian rushed to her side with a few strides, reached out and grabbed her arm, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

Mingzhu was too tired to speak, she just laughed.

"I don't allow you to do this for him!" Dong Xiao growled angrily, as if he was going to hug her horizontally.

But Mingzhu knelt down, looked up at him, and called out, "Brother Xiaotian."

This cry made Dong Xiaotian tremble slightly.At this time, he suddenly felt that she was a little far away from him, and at some point, she was far away from him.Dong Xiaotian was filled with remorse and took a few steps back.He lowered his head and stared at her, vaguely seeing her immature back then.

Now in the blink of an eye, she has grown up.

Dong Xiaotian couldn't bear her to continue kneeling, and stretched out his hand to help her up.But she still couldn't get up, he smiled helplessly, "Get up, I promise you, I will intercede with the emperor."

"Brother Xiaotian." Mingzhu choked out a sob, and let him help her up, no longer refusing.

Dong Xiaotian let go, turned around and entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hong was also restless.Seeing Mingzhu being so persistent, he couldn't bear it.It's just that this matter has been completely handed over to Dong Xiaotian, and he wants Xiaotian to decide whether to let him go or not.I wanted to keep Feng Zhanxiu, he is really a rare general.However, he was unwilling to hand over the military talisman.

Today, Pearl poisoning is real.

Even if Feng Zhanxiu refused to hand over the military talisman, he could use the excuse of poisoning Mingzhu to directly take back the domain and even depose his power in one fell swoop.

But who would have expected that Mingzhu would plead for him and guarantee him in this way.

Dong Xiaotian walked into the hall slowly, clasped his hands together, and said in a deep voice, "I will see my father, I implore my father to release Feng Zhanxiu."

Emperor Hong looked down at Dong Xiaotian, and said in a slanderous manner, "Xiaotian, this opportunity is never to be missed, and the time will never come again. You really have to let go of Feng Zhanxiu? If he turns against each other in the future, then..."

"Father! My son has already made a decision!" Dong Xiaotian replied forcefully.

Emperor Hong sighed, staring at Dong Xiaotian for a long while speechless.Is it really a disaster for a beauty?

"Xiao Dezi." He called helplessly.

Eunuch De immediately took a step forward, "Your Majesty."

"Pass on my words, let Feng Zhanxiu go." Hongdi Longyan decreed intimidatingly.

Eunuch De took the order and bowed, "Cha!"

"Wait!" Hongdi frowned slightly, and murmured, "Let her in."

At this time, the sky is already hazy.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Pearl's lips turned white.She saw Eunuch De coming out of the hall, and Eunuch De walked up to her, quickly helped her up, and said with emotion, "Your Highness, the Emperor let you in!"

"Then what about the prince?" Mingzhu asked anxiously, supported by him.

Eunuch De replied, "The emperor issued an order to let the prince go."

After Mingzhu heard this, she finally settled down.

Eunuch De bowed and ran to the prison, Mingzhu smiled at Xia'er.Then she turned around and walked slowly into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.My legs seemed to have no strength, and my whole body felt uncomfortably cold.Step by step, she finally saw Hongdi who was sitting on the dragon chair with extraordinary momentum, and Dong Xiaotian who stood beside him very quietly.

When Dong Xiaotian saw her, he clenched his fist slightly, and his eyes were darkly locked.

"Father... long live long live long live..." Mingzhu shouted, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

Hongdi stared at her, and said in a deep voice, "Get up."

"Yes! Father!" Ming Zhu stood up enduring the pain again, and walked to the side.Beside her stood Dong Xiaotian.She cautiously raised her head to glance at him, but his gaze remained unbiased.She withdrew her gaze and was in a daze.It seemed that he was really angry.

I don't know how long it took, but the eunuch's voice was heard from outside the hall, "Lord Zhan is here—"

Then, a tall figure slowly walked into the hall.

Feng Zhanxiu's expression was not gloomy, but still chic.He walked to the center of the hall, flipped his robes, and knelt down on the ground, "I see the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Feng Zhanxiu, I don't know who put the poison on. However, it is also true that Mingzhu was poisoned after eating something you sent. But because you are loyal and Mingzhu strongly recommends you, I will allow you to be released from prison. You must understand how much I and Mingzhu have for you. As for the poisoning..." Hongdi said, turning to Dong Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, leave it to you to continue to investigate."

"I obey!" Dong Xiaotian responded immediately.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness." Feng Zhanxiu replied at the same time.

Feeling tired, Emperor Hong waved his hands, "You all step back. It's already five watch, and it's time to go to court early."

He stepped off the dragon chair, and Eunuch De cleverly stepped forward to help him.

The three people in the main hall bowed or supported their bodies, and said in unison, "My son (chen) leave!"

As soon as Hongdi left, Mingzhu felt dizzy and couldn't help falling backwards.

Seeing this, Dong Xiaotian immediately stepped forward to help.But someone was one step faster than him, rushed to Mingzhu's side, and hugged her.Dong Xiaotian had no choice but to stop, and stood there in a daze, watching Feng Zhanxiu pick up the pearl.He clenched his fists violently, but couldn't move forward.

Feng Zhanxiu glanced at Dong Xiaotian, his deep eyes sparkled, and he ran out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation without looking back.

Mingzhu still wanted to say something, but she could only call out "Brother Xiaotian".

Her voice was very soft, and when it reached Dong Xiaotian's ears, his expression suddenly became sad.

Feng Zhanxiu took the Pearl out of the Palace of Mental Cultivation and ran back to Pingle Palace.He looked down at her in his arms, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Why did you save me."

Just now I heard from Eunuch De that in order to save him, she did not hesitate to stand outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for several hours.With such a body, it is not good to recuperate, but it is still stubborn to this point.

Mingzhu was a little groggy, and her consciousness began to blur.Half-closed her eyes, looking at Junrong who was close at hand, she said intermittently, "Because...because..."

Feng Zhanxiu waited quietly.

"Because Liu Shuiyao came to beg me...she begged me...I..." Before Ming Zhu finished speaking, she couldn't help but closed her eyes due to fatigue.

And the second half of the sentence she hasn't finished - and me, I don't know why, I believe you.

※※※

When Feng Zhanxiu returned to the palace safely, the servants in the palace were obviously relieved.Only Zhongli was very calm, as if he had expected this long ago, he just shouted "The prince is back", and followed silently.The two entered the study one after the other, and Feng Zhanxiu sat down alone.

He looked up at Zhongli, and asked in a deep voice, "How many days are left for the prince's wedding?"

"If you go back to your lord, the emperor has issued a decree to set it on the sixth day of the next lunar month, so there are only half a month left." Zhongli replied respectfully.

Feng Zhanxiu closed his eyes, "Half a month."

The crowd agreed, "Exactly."

"Yun Ni will be back soon." Feng Zhanxiu spit out such a sentence with a calm expression.

The crowd was a little confused and asked, "My lord, I have a question."

"You want to ask me, her poison has been cured, so what's the use of the sagegrass?" Feng Zhanxiu smiled lightly, raised his dark eyes slightly, and asked, "Zongli, why are you so close to me?" It's been a long time, tell me what this king is going to do next?"

"This subordinate understands, the prince is almost on time, and it's time to close the net." Everyone was stunned for a while, and then bowed again.

Feng Zhanxiu took out the Linglong Jade from his sleeve, held it in his hand, stroked it carefully, and muttered to himself, "This king has calculated everything correctly, but there is no time to calculate it..."

The crowd stood quietly by the side, silent.

After a while, Zhongli asked, "Your Highness is referring to the Princess?"

"Her?" Feng Zhanxiu suddenly remembered her stubborn little face, and said quietly, "I really want to see what kind of expression she will have when she knows the true colors of those people."

Prime Minister's Mansion

In the boudoir, Liu Shuiyao has been waiting for news.She didn't know if Mingzhu would speak up to help her, and she didn't sleep well all night.At dawn, she got up.She originally wanted to leave the palace and enter the palace, but was restrained by her father.After Dad knew what happened yesterday, he was furious.At this moment, she was locked in the room and not allowed to go out.

Liu Shuiyao walked around the room irritably, and started to smash things.

"Bang bang—" only the piercing sound of things being smashed could be heard continuously.

Liu Shuiyao yelled coquettishly, "Open the door! Let me out! If you don't let me out, I'll keep smashing! Open the door!" She was silent for a while, but she was still ignored, and she was angry again, picking up the expensive vase and about to throw it down again. .

Suddenly, the door was opened.

"Yao'er!" Liu Qing walked into the boudoir, walked to her side to stop her with a headache, and put the vase back to its original position, "My dear daughter, can't you let daddy worry about it!"

Liu Shuiyao pursed her lips, and said aggrievedly, "Daddy, why don't you let your daughter go out!"

"Don't worry, the emperor issued an order to release him, and he will be fine." Liu Qing said in a deep voice.

When Liu Shuiyao heard this, she was overjoyed, "Really? The emperor really released him? I'm going to find Brother Zhanxiu!"

"Don't go!" Liu Qing stopped her, and sternly shouted at the guards outside the room, "Look after Miss, don't go anywhere! Also, remove all the things in this room, don't hurt Miss."

Several nuns immediately replied, "Yes! Master!"

"Daddy!" Liu Shuiyao shouted in amazement.

"Father forbids you to go out and cause trouble again! Father is for your own good!" Liu Qing put down these words, turned around and left resolutely.

Liu Shuiyao stomped her feet angrily, and shouted loudly, "Father! Let your daughter out!"

※※※

The emperor decreed to release the matter of Feng Zhanxiu, not only to the prime minister's residence, but also to Prince Rui's residence.

A man in Tsing Yi came on horseback and dismounted in front of the mansion.

Afterwards, he hurried into the mansion.

In the side hall, the singing and dancing is peaceful, and the graceful women wear transparent skirts, dancing fragrant dances.The sound of silk and bamboo sounded eloquently, and even the musician who played it was as beautiful as a fairy.The light breeze blows, and the curtain flutters slightly.On the seat in the middle of the hall, Prince Rui held Gu Xiner in his arms, drinking and having fun.

Gu Xiner caressed his chest delicately, and said softly, "My lord, have another drink."

"Okay! This king will have another drink!" Dong Yanrui took a breath, his eyes were full of crimson, and he drank the wine.

"My lord!" Suddenly, a person rushed into the hall.

It was the man in Tsing Yi.

Prince Rui's complexion changed, he looked up at the man in Tsing Yi, clearly displeased, and scolded, "Idiot! Didn't you see that this king is busy?" It is well known that Prince Rui loves women.He was naturally disappointed to be disturbed when he was in such a fairyland.

"My lord, calm down. Listen to what's going on first." Gu Xiner persuaded softly, with a charming face.

Seeing that her smile was more beautiful than a flower, Prince Rui immediately softened his voice, "Okay! You all stand down!"

"Yes!" The girls replied softly.

Immediately, the side hall fell silent, and the singing and dancing sound dissipated.

After the man retreated, the man in Tsing Yi reported back, "Your Majesty, Madam, something is wrong. There is news from the palace that the Emperor has let the King of War go."

"What? Let him go?" Prince Rui's eyes widened.

"Yes! I heard that it was the princess who personally went to beg and sponsor the King of War." The man in Tsing Yi replied truthfully.

Prince Rui was startled, and said in surprise, "She went to intercede in person?"

"Yes!"

"Go and investigate again!" Gu Xiner ordered in a cold voice.

The man in Tsing Yi nodded immediately and hurriedly retreated.

Prince Rui was a little restless, turned his head to look at Gu Xiner, and asked, "Xiner, what do you think we should do now? The plan you planned for this king has been messed up!"

"My lord, don't worry, let this concubine think about it." Gu Xiner's beautiful eyes flashed, and her body fell softly to his chest.

She really did not expect Hongdi to release him so soon, it was completely beyond her imagination.

I heard that the silly princess even took the initiative to ask for reconciliation.

Logically speaking, there is no harmony between her and Feng Zhanxiu!The silly princess who was completely blinded to the bones, she should completely stand on the standpoint of Emperor Hong and Dong Xiaotian, how could she plead for mercy?
The fire had just started to extinguish before it was extinguished.

As a result, it is not good on the contrary, will the Fengzhan Xiuhui surrender to Emperor Hong because of this.

If this fatuous Prince Rui can't succeed in rebelling, then...

Gu Xin'er thought for a while, then said quietly, "At first, I thought that as long as I ordered someone to poison me, it would be enough to separate Emperor Hong and Feng Zhanxiu. Then if the princess doesn't die, Feng Zhanxiu's life will never be in danger. According to him Because of his temper, he will not hand over the soldier talisman so easily. After all, he is a majestic warrior, and he has worked hard."

"At that time, the prince will come forward to reconcile, and he will remember the prince's love."

"I'm afraid things will backfire now..."

Prince Rui nodded and said in agreement, "What Xin Er said is right, what should we do now?"

"The princess has already been poisoned once before, so why don't she be poisoned once more, let her die directly, and it will be over. At that time, Feng Zhanxiu must be involved. And the daughter of the Liu family is not married, so Prime Minister Liu will naturally be used by the prince. The prince Why not pursue the victory and take it down!" Gu Xiner narrowed her eyes and smiled vividly.

Prince Rui frowned and pondered, only felt that this idea was feasible, "Okay! This king is waiting to sit on the throne. When the time comes, this king will make Xin'er the queen!"

"My lord..." Gu Xiner put her arms around his neck and said angrily, "You should change your mouth, from now on, you should call yourself 'Zhen'!"

Prince Rui was overjoyed, and immediately said in a deep voice, "I will definitely make you queen!"

"Hehe." Gu Xiner smiled alluringly, her winking eyes sparkling.

Prince Rui was so fascinated by her smile that he tore off her clothes immediately, and rushed forward anxiously, "My dear Xiner, quickly give Zhen Le a..."

"Your Majesty, please slow down. Hehe, Your Majesty..."

Suddenly, the room was filled with beautiful spring colors, and Gu Xiner's bright and beautiful eyes shone with amber light.

Several days passed without incident, and Mingzhu's body gradually recovered.Perhaps because of the magical golden toad's tears, the wound also healed quickly.Regarding the poisoning, there is something left over.However, Dong Xiaotian didn't come to visit her for several days, which made her very depressed.

On the other hand, Feng Zhanxiu must come every day.

But the relationship between them is a bit weird.But if I really want to say what's wrong, I can't tell.

No, Mingzhu had eaten, and it was time for someone to come.

He only heard the maid call "Prince", she immediately nestled into the quilt and closed her eyes to pretend to be asleep.

The footsteps really sounded heavily.

Feng Zhanxiu walked into the bedroom, saw that she was sleeping and didn't disturb her.Just sitting on the edge of the bed, staring silently.He sharply noticed the trembling eyelashes, and a smile appeared in his eyes.Slowly lowering his head, he brought his lips close to hers.

Mingzhu felt his breath gradually approaching, she grabbed the corner of the quilt violently.

"How long do you want to pretend to be asleep? En?" Feng Zhanxiu asked jokingly with a heavy breath.

Mingzhu had no choice but to open her eyes, seeing him so close to her, her face blushed immediately.Blinking, like an innocent little white rabbit.She continued to pretend, and said in a daze, "My lord, why are you here?"

"The body is almost healthy, it's time to go back home."

"I..." Mingzhu heard him say this, and was anxious to find a reason.

"My lord has asked someone to prepare a carriage, we can go." Feng Zhanxiu said, carrying her with him.

Mingzhu was wrapped into a rice dumpling and couldn't move at the moment.She looked at him in amazement, only to find that he had a wicked smile on his face, "My lord, my injury is not healed yet! I am dizzy, I have a headache, my chest hurts, I hurt here, there, everywhere, I hurt... It hurts to death, it hurts to death..."

Halfway through her words, he directly tapped her acupoints, not letting her resist or let her think about it.

Mingzhu glared at him, unable to burst into anger.

Feng Zhanxiu smiled heavily, ignored her glaring, hugged her and walked out of the palace.

Outside Pingle Palace, the carriage was ready.

Xia'er stood in front of the carriage with a panicked expression.She stood there in a daze, seemingly preoccupied.Seeing the two people slowly walking out of Pingle Palace, she regained her senses and shouted, "Your Highness, Princess."

Feng Zhanxiu got into the carriage with Mingzhu in his arms.

A group of people set off to leave the palace.

After going through one after another palace gate, he finally left the palace smoothly.

In the carriage, Feng Zhanxiu hugged her on his lap, looked at her rosy face leisurely, and couldn't help but kiss her.Mingzhu's face was flushed red, and she suddenly turned into a small tomato.

※※※

War King's Mansion
After traveling for a long time, the carriage finally arrived at the palace.

Feng Zhanxiu put the cloak on her body, and carried her out of the carriage again.

"Brother Zhanxiu." Liu Shuiyao's soft female voice sounded.

Hearing this call, Mingzhu immediately looked for the reputation.I saw Liu Shuiyao and two maids waiting outside the palace, she frowned slightly, she seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"You're here." Feng Zhanxiu's tone softened a bit, his attitude was not as cold as before.

Liu Shuiyao was locked up by her father Liu Qing for several days, and was not allowed to come out until today.She immediately came to the palace to look for him, but the servants said he was not in the mansion, so she waited outside the mansion.Finally saw him, but saw that he was holding Mingzhu in his arms.Her heart was slightly sour, she just pursed her lips and approached them gently.

Liu Shuiyao tightened her handkerchief and said, she couldn't hide her concern and asked, "Brother Zhanxiu, are you alright? Princess... Is the princess alright?"

"It's fine." He answered briefly.

Liu Shuiyao didn't know what to say for a while, so she just stared at him blankly, "..."

"Don't do this for me anymore, even if I'm going to die, don't do anything for me anymore." After a long silence, Feng Zhanxiu suddenly broke the silence, implying that she was pleading for herself.

Liu Shuiyao was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "Why?"

"You go. Mingzhu is tired, don't disturb her." Feng Zhanxiu didn't say any more, and walked into the palace with her in his arms.

Mingzhu did not expect that he would treat Liu Shuiyao so indifferently, and was unable to speak, so she could only silently look at Liu Shuiyao, while her eyes were red, standing alone in the wind.Liu Shuiyao like this made me feel a little melancholy.Such a person who treats him sincerely, how can he be so ruthless.

After entering the mansion, Feng Zhanxiu said in a deep voice, "Everyone, send her back to the mansion."

"Yes! My lord!" Zhong Li responded immediately, turned around and chased after him.

Mingzhu looked sideways, but saw that Zhongli deliberately kept a distance and followed behind Liu Shuiyao.

She was a little stunned, could it be...

The two walked through the front yard, turned around the corridor, and headed towards the old Su hall.

Feng Zhanxiu didn't directly carry her back to the house, but carried her up to the small attic in the garden.A very clean garden, so clean that it feels desolate.He hugged her and sat down, lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Old rules, you are not allowed to move or make noise, and this king will unlock your acupoints. How about it?"

Mingzhu wanted to nod, but she had no choice but to look at him like this.

Feng Zhanxiu smiled slightly, and then he started to untie her acupuncture points.

"Actually, you care about her very much, right?" Mingzhu couldn't help asking, looking at him carefully, trying to find some clues.

"Hush!" He reached out and touched her lips, and murmured in a low voice, "Don't talk, I just want to hug you."

"..." Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, only to feel a slight sadness in his eyes.What's up with him……

Feng Zhanxiu buried his head on her neck and said in a low voice, "I don't care about her."

"You have." She was extremely firm and insisted.

"How can you be sure?" Feng Zhanxiu stared at her.

Mingzhu couldn't tell the reason, and frowned in annoyance, "I don't know, anyway, you have."

"Hehe." Feng Zhanxiu laughed again, "I don't have any."

Mingzhu's stubborn temper came up, "You have it! You have it! You care about Liu Shuiyao!"

"You're jealous." But he kissed her directly, as if trying to escape.

The prince's wedding was approaching, and the guards in the capital became stricter.And in the palace, it was even more busy.The entire Daxing Dynasty was immersed in an atmosphere of joy, in order to welcome this prosperous wedding ceremony.Every household cleared the luxuriant grass at the corners of the eaves and hung up red lanterns.

At night, the red lanterns flickered brightly, like lights guiding people home.

Mingzhu lived in Zhanwang's mansion for a period of time, and her body has recovered.But she never saw Dong Xiaotian again.Even if she enters the palace to wait, she still can't meet him.Maybe, maybe he was avoiding her on purpose.Because she pleaded for Feng Zhanxiu.Or, he was also feeling unworthy for her.

As for Feng Zhanxiu, he has been sleeping alone in the study these days, and he doesn't make things difficult for her.

At this moment, Mingzhu was sitting quietly in the garden alone, looking up at the moon.She calculated the time silently, and in three days' time it would be the wedding day of Dong Xiaotian and Liu Shuiyao.

Three days, only three days left...

"Master." Xia'er called out, and slowly approached her with a cup of sweet soup.

Mingzhu looked back at her and said softly, "Come, sit beside me."
