Chapter 66

Due to the sudden departure of Princess Mingzhu, not only the city was in chaos, but the palace was even more chaotic.Just after dawn, Feng Zhanxiu led two guards and twelve cavalry to search and arrest the whole city regardless of the poisonous gas attack.All of a sudden, the capital was flying like cats and dogs, and no one dared to breathe for fear of losing his head.

"Continue to search! Search one by one!"

"Yes!"

The guards searched from house to house, interrogating each person one by one.

The captain leading a group of guards turned his head to look at the other side of the street, and shouted in a deep voice, "Search over there!"

"Yes!" The guard immediately rushed forward.

I saw groups of guards scattered in every street of the capital, and the common people avoided as much as they could. If they really couldn't, they had to be questioned severely by them.The Twelve Cavalrymen were also looking for the princess in the capital, and Zhong Li and Yun Ni followed Feng Zhanxiu to the left and right, also searching all over the city.

After half a day, there was still no news.

Under the big stone bridge in the east of the city, a thin little beggar curled up in a corner.In the bowl in front of him, the passers-by saw how pitiful they were, and even threw a few copper coins.Looking at the copper coins in the bowl, Mingzhu could only pretend to nod her thanks, "Thank you for the kind person, thank you for the kind person, thank you..."

"You kid!" Suddenly, three or four beggars rushed out from a distance.

Mingzhu stared at those beggars running towards her in astonishment, she was obviously taken aback.

"Boy! This is our territory. You make a living here. Have you ever asked us if we agree?" The beggar leader roared angrily, with a turbid breath spraying over.

Mingzhu wanted to calm things down, so she hurriedly grabbed the copper coins in the bowl and presented them to him, "All these coins are for you."

"These money belonged to us!" The beggar leader snatched the copper coins and snorted coldly with disdain, "You boy, get out of here quickly! If you don't know the rules, come and grab the territory! Get out of here!"

"But……"

"Is it over? Tell you to get out, and you still don't get out? Do you want us to do it?" Those beggars rushed up, and they were about to hit people.

Mingzhu had no choice but to stand up, took the broken bowl, turned around and walked away with her back hunched.She lowered her head and thought secretly, what should I do now?What if Qingming came to look for her but couldn't find her! .

Suddenly, countless guards rushed forward, and the guards blocked the entire street.

Mingzhu was squeezed to the back by the crowd and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

The people suddenly shouted, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live——"

Mingzhu heard this cry and hurriedly knelt down to the ground.She didn't dare to look up, and even missed a heartbeat.Feeling the horse's hooves passing by, her heart seemed to hang in mid-air.

"Your Majesty!" The twelve cavalry came from the other side of the street to join them.

Feng Zhanxiu looked at the visitor coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "I haven't found it yet!"

"The subordinate is dereliction of duty!"

"Go away to me! Keep looking!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the familiar deep male voice, Mingzhu couldn't help raising her head, her gaze sneaking across the crowd.With just one glance, he met him.He is like a concentrator, so dazzling and terrifying.His face was a little pale, which reminded her that he was also poisoned by Gongsun Qingming.

The shameful thing is that she still worries about him.

Mingzhu clenched her fists violently, looked down at her hands, and put an end to her previous thoughts.

The sound of horseshoes clattered again, and a group of people walked slowly across the street.

The guards began to check the people here, and Mingzhu hid in the alley in chaos.Dressed in rags, she leaned against the wall, looking at his receding figure.

Feng Zhanxiu, I used to come back to you again and again, like moths to a flame.But now, even if you are in front of me, I don't want to appear again.

After all, she withdrew her gaze, turned her head resolutely and ran into the alley.

And Feng Zhanxiu, who had gone far away, suddenly felt something, and suddenly pulled the rein and looked back.In the chaotic crowd, among those unfamiliar faces, none of them was her.He clenched the reins tightly, his handsome appearance even darker.

Royal Palace
Only when the King of War left the palace, was there peace in the palace.

The eunuchs and maids finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they thought that if the King of War returned to court, there would be no peace again.

It is said that the woman who had been living in the Canary Palace a few days ago suddenly left, which is why the King of War became so irritable.Hey, I really can't figure it out.The woman was so favored, why did she leave?It is also said that the real identity of the woman was the princess of the former dynasty, and she couldn't bear the pain of destroying the country and killing her brother, so she left.

A guard officer took the token of the King of War and entered the palace through Wuzhong Gate.

After the guard officer got off his horse, he hurried towards Liangyi Hall.

"My lord! This way please!" shouted the little eunuch leading the way.

The officer said in a deep voice, "Thank you!"

When they arrived at Liangyi Hall, the little eunuch rushed into the hall and brought out Xuan Yi.Xiao Xuanyi looked at the little eunuch blankly, not knowing what happened, he asked childishly, "Where are you taking me?"

"Your Majesty is looking for you!" the little eunuch said truthfully.

Xiao Xuanyi nodded, strode out of Liangyi Hall, and followed the little eunuch to the guard officer.

"My lord! Master Xuan Yi brought it!"

"Retire, I will take the young master to report to His Majesty!" The officer shouted, and the little eunuch retreated as expected.After the person left, the officer took off his helmet. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Xuan Yi, do you still remember me?"

Xiao Xuanyi looked at him, turned his head cleverly, "I know!" Isn't he my aunt's fiance?
"Your aunt is waiting for you outside. You can follow me, okay?" Gongsun Qingming exhorted in a low voice.

Xiao Xuanyi asked suspiciously, "The emperor said that my aunt left in anger."

"Your Majesty has already found her." Gongsun Qingming thought for a while, and then said, "They are waiting for you outside the palace, let me take you to find them."

"Really? Auntie isn't angry with Uncle Huang?" Xiao Xuanyi asked happily, believing it to be true.

"Of course it's true!" Gongsun Qingming picked him up and strode out towards the way he came.

"Tat-tat--"

The guards in the capital surged, and the city had been locked for a long time, and the people who were anxious to get out of the city were even more anxious.It was afternoon again, the sun was high and the temperature suddenly rose.The guards searched closely for a long time, but still to no avail.With the scorching sun in the sky, this mood became more and more irritable.

"Report to Your Majesty! Didn't find it!"

"Your Majesty! Your subordinates haven't found it either!"

"Twelve cavalry dereliction of duty!"

"..."

Feng Zhanxiu had a handsome face, riding majestically on the BMW.Too much exposure to the sun, the poison accumulated in his body began to take hold, and he felt chest tightness and discomfort.I'm afraid this poison will take some time to recuperate before it can be cured.His cold expression made everyone tremble and dare not speak more.

"Your Majesty! The body of the dragon is important! Your Majesty will go back to the palace first, and your subordinates will continue to search for the whereabouts of the princess!" Yun Ni turned her head and saw that the blackness in his Yintang had increased, so she couldn't help but said.

Feng Zhanxiu didn't even give one out of the corner of his eye, and shouted in a deep voice, "Continue to search!"

"Your Majesty..." Yun Ni wanted to say something, but was stopped by his eyes.

In this world, no one can persuade His Majesty anymore.Except for one person, of course.

After another half an hour, Feng Zhanxiu let out a muffled snort and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone was startled, and immediately dismounted and ran to him, helping him off the horse.Had to call the carriage immediately, Yun Ni helped Feng Zhanxiu and got into the carriage, while Zhong Li drove the carriage and hurried back to the palace.The twelve cavalry remained, and the whole city continued to search.

Locking the city is not a long-term thing, the city gate must be opened.

If you can't find the princess, I'm afraid His Majesty will go crazy and vow to have another bloodbath.

After returning to the palace, the imperial doctors rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with their heads in their hands.

Feng Zhanxiu lay unconscious on the dragon bed, and the imperial physicians were once again helpless in the face of this strange poison.Generally speaking, people who are really good at poisoning will definitely not give people an easy way to detoxify.Unless you know the preparation of this poison, it will be useless even if the gods come down to earth.

The imperial physicians discussed for a while, and had no choice but to order some heat-clearing decoctions, hoping to relieve His Majesty's pain.

Zhongli and Yun Ni naturally also understand how powerful Gongsun Qingming is, and the reputation of "poison doctor" is not in vain.Gongsun Qingming is the only one who can detoxify the poison in the world.But now, Gongsun Qingming and Princess Mingzhu are both missing, what should His Majesty do?I can only hope to find the two of them soon!
After taking a short nap, Feng Zhanxiu woke up quietly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was about to get up and get out of bed.

"Your Majesty!" Yun Ni stepped forward to stop her.

Feng Zhanxiu coughed lightly and ignored it.He stood up unsteadily, his eyes darkened, and he fell down on the dragon floor again.Feng Zhanxiu's eyes were deep, and he closed them suddenly, so strong that he was very lucky.As the true qi swam away, the poisonous qi surged back, attacking his heart, and the smell of blood burst out of his mouth.

"Damn Gongsun Qingming!" He shouted in a low voice, clenching his fists violently.

At this moment, a young eunuch rushed into the palace.The little eunuch hurriedly approached Zhongli in small steps, and said something to Zhongli.When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly.He rushed into the inner hall again, and replied in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! Earlier, a guard took His Majesty's token to falsely pass on the imperial decree, entered the palace and took Xuan Yi away! It should be Gongsun Qingming!"

What?Xuan Yi was taken away?Yun Ni turned around in astonishment.

Hearing these words, Feng Zhanxiu narrowed his eagle eyes resentfully, the gloom was scary.

Pearl, do you really want to leave me so much?No, I will never let you go!

Feng Zhanxiu's eyes were deep, and when he raised his head, there was a cold light in his eyes.He raised the corners of his lips, with such a sharp arc, "Immediately put all the descendants of the master's family into the prison! Open the city gate at noon tomorrow, and punish the remnants of the former dynasty together!"

Zhongli and Yunni responded, "Yes!"

"All retreat!"

There was no one in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, only Feng Zhanxiu was sitting quietly on the dragon floor.He was like a king who had been alone for thousands of years, stunned and silent.It's just that the hesitant handsome face suddenly added a touch of madness.He lay back on Longtao, closed his eyes with peace of mind, and waited for the arrival of tomorrow.

Mingzhu, I will definitely let you come back to me, and come back on my own initiative.

※※※

Yun Ni stays at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while Zhongli leads the guards to the Hall of Liangyi.

Liangyi Palace swarmed into the Guards, frightening the little princesses.

When Eunuch De saw the guards and the guards, he immediately realized that something was wrong.He had already heard from Xuan Yi that Princess Ming Zhu left in anger.Now that the guards are coming, something must have happened.He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Guards, what's the matter?"

"Following His Majesty's order, the princesses were thrown into prison! Take them away immediately!" Zhongli shouted.

The princesses turned pale when they heard the words, and had no choice but to be forced out of Liangyi Hall by the guards.

The guards came and went in a hurry, and Eunuch De watched the princesses being taken away, anxious but helpless.He rushed to Zhongli's side in a hurry, and shouted in a panic, "Guards!"

"Eunuch De! Take care of yourself!" Zhong Li put down his words and strode away.

The news that several princesses from the previous court were thrown into the sky prison immediately spread to Canary Palace. Xiao Shunzi knelt down in Qianning Palace and lowered his head and said, "Mother Empress! This slave just saw the guards leading the guards to go Liangyi Palace, it is said that under His Majesty's order, the princesses of the previous court were thrown into prison!"

"Is this serious?" Murong Feixue was holding the teacup, just about to drink tea but stopped moving.

"The slave will take the head of the item as a guarantee!" Xiao Shunzi said firmly.

Murong Feixue took a sip of the fragrant tea and smiled slightly, "Tweety, give 100 taels of gold to Xiao Shunzi."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Xiao Shunzi kowtowed in gratitude after receiving the reward.

Murong Feixue put down the teacup, her phoenix eyes narrowed, "Xiao Shunzi, the Ai family wants to ask you to do something."

"Empress Dowager orders!"

"Okay!" Murong Feixue nodded in satisfaction, deliberately lowered her voice, "The Ai family wants you..."

Her bleak female voice made people feel terrible, and Xiao Shunzi shivered, "I understand! I will definitely do it!"

In the capital, Mingzhu disguised herself as a beggar and had to wander around.The bridgehead was occupied by several other beggars, and as long as she approached, they would drive her away. She had no way to approach at all, so she had to keep walking in the capital.From time to time, she ran back to the ruined temple to have a look, and she had to avoid the guards' capture.

I don't know how many times this is, wandering between the ruined temple and the bridge.

Mingzhu looked at the bridgehead from a distance, but Gongsun Qingming was still nowhere to be seen.When she looked up, she saw another group of guards approaching in a hurry.She hurriedly trembled, turned around and walked to beg.When the guards approached her, she simply fell to the ground, holding her breath and waiting for them to pass by.

Finally he breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up tremblingly.

Her figure disappeared at the end of the street, and a figure flashed across the bridge.

The man was wearing rough clothes and straw sandals, with a branch in his hand and a big basket on his back.In the basket, a four-year-old child is sleeping with his eyes closed.The child was also dressed in rough clothes, and his small face was black and full of dirt.

The two looked like refugees, and it was pitiful.

The man walked across the bridge silently with the child on his back.

This man is Gongsun Qingming, and the child in the basket is Xuan Yi.

Gongsun Qingming walked forward slowly with his head down, but he was suspicious in his heart.what happened?Why isn't Mingzhu here?He immediately rushed to the ruined temple with Xuan Yi on his back.

There was no one in the ruined temple, and Mingzhu hurried into the courtyard.But looking around, he still didn't see Gongsun Qingming's figure.She couldn't help being disappointed, and even more worried that something would happen to him.It's been almost a day, and she's dying of anxiety.Thinking of Gongsun Qingming's ten thousand warnings before leaving, she told herself to calm down.

Mingzhu decided not to turn east and west, but to wait in the temple, so as to save the two from looking for each other and always missing.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

Shocked, Mingzhu rushed to the temple and hid behind the Buddha statue.

Someone walked into the temple, Mingzhu covered her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.

"Hmm—" the child murmured indistinctly after waking up, Xiao Xuanyi rubbed his eyes and asked childishly, "Where is this place? Where's aunt?"

Mingzhu heard this familiar child's voice, and couldn't help but look around, but saw the sloppy man.The man turned his back to her, and she also saw the little face of the child in the basket on the man's back.

"Xuan Yi!" Mingzhu shouted in surprise, and ran out from behind the Buddha statue.

Gongsun Qingming turned around at the same time and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.He put down the basket with a smile, stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Xuanyi, and said in a deep voice, "Bring him out smoothly."

Mingzhu caressed Xuan Yi's face and said gratefully, "Qingming, thank you."

"Auntie? You're so strange!" Xiao Xuanyi didn't know what happened yet, seeing Mingzhu in all her attire, she almost didn't recognize her.

Mingzhu hugged him, and said softly, "Xuan Yi, it's okay."

"Auntie, where's Uncle Huang?" Xiao Xuanyi looked around, but couldn't find Feng Zhanxiu's figure. He was a little confused, "Why isn't Uncle Huang here?"

Mingzhu felt sour for a while, and said softly, "Uncle Huang is busy, so I'm going back to the palace first."

"Then let's go back to the palace too." Xiao Xuanyi blinked her big eyes and said happily.

"Xuan Yi, we are not going back to the palace." They can't go back...

Xiao Xuanyi was taken aback, "Why?"

Mingzhu didn't know how to explain it, and she didn't want the little child to know about those hatred entanglements.She patted Xuan Yi lightly, and lied, "Uncle Huang made an appointment with us to go out together. He suddenly had something to do, so he went back to the palace to deal with it. You and aunt go first, we won't go back to the palace."

"Then the uncle is done with his work, will he come to see us?" Xiao Xuanyi asked again.

Mingzhu was suffocated for a while, then she nodded and said "En".

Gongsun Qingming watched the two of them embrace into a ball, feeling only slightly melancholy in his heart.I even have the urge to give them a place to live, to give them a home.

※※※

The night was getting darker.

The three of them changed into clean clothes, which were still sackcloth.It's just that compared to the extremely sloppy clothes during the day, it is already a thousand times better at this moment.I simply ate some steamed buns and drank a few sips of water, and my hunger was gone.Maybe in the future, they will all live like this, fleeing non-stop.

Xiao Xuanyi lay on Mingzhu's lap, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Mingzhu patted him lightly and covered him with a piece of clothing.When I was in a haze, I heard Xiao Xuanyi murmuring softly, "Auntie, I miss the emperor..."

Mingzhu sighed, feeling a sudden pain in her heart.

He misses Feng Zhanxiu, does Feng Zhanxiu miss him?Why did he keep Xuan Yi by his side, why didn't he kill him.

"What are your plans?" Gongsun Qingming asked in a deep voice.

Mingzhu shook her head, "I don't know either."

She really doesn't know, the sky is big and the earth is big, but why does she feel that there is no place to stay.

"Why don't you follow me back to Bixia Villa." Gongsun Qingming kindly suggested.

"I've troubled you a lot." Mingzhu looked up at him and said softly.She can't bother Qingming anymore, Feng Zhanxiu won't let her and Xuan Yi go easily.If Seimei was helping them, even he would be in danger.As long as she can go out of the city, she will leave alone with Xuan Yi.

Gongsun Qingming raised the corners of his lips, and the soft silver light from the moonlight shone into his eyes, shining brightly.His handsome face was shining brightly, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as you are not afraid of trouble, I will naturally not be afraid of trouble."

"You said last night that you have a story to tell me." Mingzhu suddenly remembered, and asked cautiously, "Can I listen to the story?"

Gongsun Qingming's smile was slightly in a trance, and he said quietly, "Of course."

"A long time ago, there was a family. The master of that family liked poetry and songs very much, and he was free and unrestrained. He also liked to make friends, but his personality was cold and arrogant. Because while drinking, he said a word and was criticized by some villains. Up. The emperor was furious and sentenced everyone to be executed."

"There are more than ten members of the family, and none of them survived. They all died overnight."

When Mingzhu heard what he said, her heart suddenly tightened.

"No one knows that the unfavored concubine of that family took the child away. After hearing that the family was ransacked, the woman never mentioned the child's biological father and kept her name anonymous. Time flies , Many years passed in the blink of an eye. That child has grown up."

"He suddenly remembered the past. Although he didn't have much affection for his father, he still thought about taking revenge."

"Just when he was about to fulfill his wish, he met a naive fool."

"That fool told him, it's better to let it go. He really didn't take revenge, and let the emperor go." Gongsun Qingming's tone was very indifferent, and his expression was also indifferent, as if recalling the past, the past was really just a story. The story, but he happened to be the protagonist in the story.

And that fool was beside him, looking at him with tears in his eyes.

Mingzhu couldn't help crying, she never thought that Qingming also had such a broken past.

"I'm guilty, I'm so guilty, I made you cry even by telling a story." Gongsun Qingming pulled up his sleeves, wiped away her tears, and said softly, "I've kept you a secret for so long, and I hope you don't blame me."

Mingzhu shook her head, wiping her tears indiscriminately.

Everyone should have memories, good or bad.Remember every memory.He remembered the memory, but did not annihilate his conscience because of it.But why, with the same blood feud, Feng Zhanxiu is so violent and gloomy, he lives in hatred and cannot extricate himself.

He could obviously let go of his hatred, but why did he insist on going that way!
Go all the way to the end!
Gongsun Qingming stared at her, and said softly, "I once made a deal with Feng Zhanxiu, I cured Murong Feixue's stubborn illness, then I will personally claim Hongdi's life. But I gave up and didn't kill her." Hongdi. But Hongdi is still dead. That’s why I’m sure Hongdi was killed by him.”

"So that's how it is." Until now, she didn't fully understand the whole story.

"I also want to know what Feng Zhanxiu's hatred is?" Gongsun Qingming asked with gazing.

Chirp chirp chirp, the insects sing very beautifully.

Mingzhu was silent for a long while, looking at Xiaoxuanyi's lovely sleeping face, she said slowly, "I only know that his father was shot to death by random arrows and his heart was gouged out, and his mother was burned to death. And he crawled out of the corpses everywhere. In fact, I have always wondered why you have the same hatred as him, why you..."

She hesitated to speak, knowing that she shouldn't compare them.

"Why did I let go, but he didn't." Gongsun Qingming took her words and said in a deep voice.

"Perhaps you are right." Mingzhu stared blankly at the ground, a little melancholy, "A person like him survives entirely on hatred. He will not be easily moved."

Gongsun Qingming smiled thoughtfully.

※※※

Waking up early in the morning, Gongsun Qingming inquired about a piece of news—the city gate is about to open!

This news makes Mingzhu happy, so they can get out of the city smoothly.As long as you leave the capital, the danger is reduced.But why when she knew she was going to leave, she was happy but at the same time felt a little bit disappointed, and also felt distressed for a moment, as if lost.

Xiao Xuanyi held Mingzhu's hand, raised her head and asked, "Auntie, are we leaving?"

"Well, we're leaving." Mingzhu touched his head and said with a smile.

"Where are we going?" Xiao Xuanyi asked.

Gongsun Qingming walked up to the two of them, bent slightly, "Let's go back to Luoying Island, to Bixia Villa."

"Is it fun there?" Xiao Xuanyi asked innocently, not knowing what was right and wrong.

"You'll know when you go."

Xiao Xuanyi looked at Mingzhu again, and shook her hand.He pursed his lips and said very reluctantly, "Auntie, isn't the emperor finished? Is he really not going with us? Xuan Yi wants to go with the emperor and aunt."

"Xuan Yi, be good, you have to be obedient. Otherwise..." When Mingzhu thought of Feng Zhanxiu, the pain suddenly swelled, "Otherwise, Uncle Huang will be angry."

"I just need to be obedient." Xiao Xuanyi replied obediently when she heard her say that.

The three of them, like a family of three, slowly walked out of the ruined temple.In order to avoid being discovered by others, Gongsun Qingming and Mingzhu are dressed like ordinary farmers and women, and Xiao Xuanyi is also dressed like ordinary children.The three of them were walking on the street, Mingzhu warned, "Xuan Yi, don't talk, you know."

"why?"

"There are a lot of bad people here, so don't talk."

"Xuan Yi understands."

Since the city had been locked for two days, the King of War ordered to open the city gate today. The people were all impatient, and they all waited in front of the city gate, ready to leave the city.Crowded crowd, noisy scene.The strange thing is that there were no guards today despite the rigorous search yesterday.

Only some soldiers were maintaining order at the gate of the city.

Mingzhu and Gongsun Qingming looked at each other, feeling equally suspicious.After a while, the city gate will open.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled, "Extreme news, the King of War ordered the execution of several princesses in the previous court! They will be executed soon!"

"Where? Where?"

"Just to the west of the city!"

The people with good deeds flocked to it immediately, more lively and eager than going to the market.At the same time, the gate of the city opened wide, and there was a heavy sound. Another group of people who were eager to get out of the city had no time to watch and ask, so they just got out of the city.Amidst the heavy opening of the door, Mingzhu only felt a burst of icy coldness, like the icy cold feeling of snowflakes in June.

Xiao Xuanyi said worriedly, "Auntie, your hands are so cold."

Gongsun Qingming fell silent, Feng Zhanxiu was indeed brilliant!He unexpectedly encountered such a problem, the city gate was wide open on this side, and several little princesses were beheaded on the other side.He gave Mingzhu a multiple-choice question, and he was even more sure of what Mingzhu would choose.He wanted her to appear by herself, to appear in front of him on her own initiative.

Mingzhu's mind was buzzing, and she hurriedly pushed Xuan Yi towards Gongsun Qingming, "Take care of him for me, take him out of the city! I have no choice!"

Gongsun Qingming hugged Xuan Yi, and grabbed her hand again, "Mingzhu! I'll go with you!"

"No! You take Xuan Yi out of the city, and leave right away! The farther you go, the better!" Mingzhu looked at him, her eyes flickered with coldness and melancholy, and said softly, "Leave me alone, never come back, whatever you want You can go anywhere, as long as you can leave right and wrong and leave him.”

"Qingming! I'm going to trouble you again!" She held Gongsun Qingming's hand behind her back and said sincerely, "This may be the last time I trouble you! Please take good care of Xuan Yi!"

"You promise me!" She opened her eyes wide, longing for his approval.

Gongsun Qingming's phoenix eyes are deep, quietly flowing through countless undercurrents.

"Auntie!" Xiao Xuanyi didn't understand what happened, but when she heard her words, she hurriedly broke away from Gongsun Qingming, threw herself at Mingzhu with open arms, hugged her tightly, and said hurriedly, "Auntie, Where are you going? Don't you want Xuan Yi? I don't want it! I don't want it!"

Why is everyone leaving him?
Mingzhu bent down and squatted down in front of Xuan Yi.She stretched out her hand to hold him in her arms, stroked him gently, and exhorted, "My aunt thought that there was something I didn't buy, so I asked my uncle to take you away first. After a while, my aunt will go to you after shopping? You have to listen to uncle If so, don't be naughty."

"Auntie, Xuan Yi will go shopping with you." Xiao Xuan Yi leaned on her shoulder and said uneasily.

Mingzhu's eyes turned red, and she swallowed the sourness hard, "Auntie will look for you soon."

"aunt……"

"Are you trying to make aunt angry?" Mingzhu asked forcefully, frowning in displeasure.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Xuanyi didn't dare to say anything more.But the uneasiness in his heart remained, he pursed his mouth, his dark eyes were innocent and blank.He just hugged her tightly, as if he hugged the most important person in his life.He was so reluctant to be separated, reluctant to be separated from the emperor's uncle, and reluctant to be separated from his aunt.

"Xuan Yi, this is Uncle Gongsun! Remember what Auntie said, and listen to Uncle Gongsun!" Mingzhu let go of him, and looked up at Gongsun Qingming, eyes full of apology.

Xiao Xuanyi moved his eyes between the two, and obediently shouted, "Uncle Gongsun!"

Gongsun Qingming sighed silently, took Xuan Yi from Mingzhu's hand, and held his little hand.Such a small person made him suddenly feel a heavy responsibility.He hugged Xiao Xuanyi and said in a deep voice, "You have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I still want to watch Xuan Yi grow up slowly." Mingzhu said with a smile, but her heart grew colder.She shook Xiao Xuanyi's hand, and then slowly let go.She let go decisively, turned around without looking back, and strode towards the west of the city.

Gongsun Qingming and Xuan Yi stood in place, watching her figure gradually drift away, submerged in the crowd.

Xiao Xuanyi couldn't help opening her mouth, and shouted, "Auntie! You have to come back quickly!"

When Mingzhu heard this childish cry, she just covered her mouth, straightened her back and walked forward.She couldn't look back, and she didn't dare to look back.I'm afraid that if I look back, I won't be able to bear it.So she speeded up her pace as if fleeing.When she ran around the corner, her eyes were finally blurred.

Xiaotian, if you know in heaven, please bless Xuanyi.

The common people came to the city gate one after another, surrounded by strangers coming and going.

Gongsun Qingming held Xiao Xuanyi and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Xiao Xuanyi lowered his head and remained silent.His little hand firmly grasped Gongsun Qingming's hand, afraid that he would let him go.He didn't stop until he was out of the city.

"What's wrong?" Gongsun Qingming said slowly.

Xiao Xuanyi raised his head to look at him, and asked aggrievedly, "Uncle Gongsun, do the emperor and aunt not want me anymore?"

His words startled Gongsun Qingming, and it took him a while to regain his senses. He patted Xuan Yi's little head.

"Nonsense, they all like you."

"Really?"

"kindness."

"Did the uncle and aunt come to look for me together?"

"Of course. They will come to you together."

"..."

※※※

West of capital city
Countless people had gathered, and they could not see clearly what was ahead.In the west square of the city where he was executed, the common people stood outside the execution ground, and the guards kept blocking them.The noisy discussions had not yet been cut off, but it seemed that they could smell a faint smell of blood, which seemed to be absent in the nostrils.

"Hey! Your Majesty won't let go of even the princesses, and now I'm going to kill them!"

"Hold on! Be careful you lose your head!"

"Actually, it's strange! If you don't cut it early, if you don't cut it later, it will take so many years to cut it!"

"That's right! I'm sorry for the princesses of the previous dynasty!"

With broken thoughts in my ears, a peasant woman squeezed desperately into the crowd.Mingzhu lowered her head and anxiously walked towards the front of the execution ground.But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't squeeze in.There were too many people, and she had nothing to do.The sun was shining under the sun, and dense sweat oozed from his forehead.

Mingzhu turned her head and saw that twelve cavalrymen had arrived around the execution ground.

She looked around again, looking for someone in the crowd.Feng Zhanxiu, Feng Zhanxiu, do you really want to do this?In order to force me to appear, do you have to do this?She clenched her fists, not knowing what she was struggling with.Perhaps, she was waiting for the last moment.

She was still betting once again, whether he still had a heart or not.

Daxing has been destroyed, and the daughter of the subjugated country is innocent and pitiful, so how could she have the heart to kill her.

Time passed bit by bit, and the people gathered more and more.

Suddenly, the drums thumped.

The originally noisy execution ground fell silent in an instant.

Under the suppression of the Guards, several prisoners were escorted up.Mingzhu stood behind the crowd, unable to see the prisoner's face clearly.She only heard the murmured words of the crowd, which made her feel shocked and chilled.

"A crime!"

"Such a young woman really wants to be beheaded!"

"It's a great time, what a pity!"

In such a hot weather, with so many people around, Mingzhu felt that she was the only one left in this world, so isolated and helpless.

She suddenly raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly.

On the execution ground, several little princesses were dressed in white prison uniforms, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls.They came out very fresh, but they burst into tears because of fear.Such a delicate and pitiful expression made the surrounding people fall silent.

The twelve cavalry stayed around the execution ground, but they were also waiting for someone to appear.

The sun shone down on the stone needle plate, and the shadow cast by the small stone pillar fell on the "noon hour" grid.

The soldier glanced at the time, turned around and said, "My lord! The time has come!"

But in the execution ground, only separated by bamboo curtains, Zhong Li and Yun Ni stood on the left and right.

In the middle seat, Feng Zhanxiu put his hands flat on the arms of the chair, with a calm and calm expression.The arc of the corner of the mouth is so conceited and arrogant, enough to despise everything, as if no one or anything in the Three Realms can enter his eyes.And his gaze is impartial, deep and bottomless.

He moved his lips suddenly, and said solemnly, "Execution!"

The criminal officer sitting in a high position heard the sound and clapped the case, stretched out his hand and raised the sign, and shouted in a deep voice, "Execution!"

The voice fell, and the sign was thrown to the ground.

Several tall and burly executioners held large knives and took down the plaques on the prisoners' backs one after another.They raised their big knives at the same time, and the blades shone with silver light in the sun, which was so dazzling.The murderous executioner had no expression on his face, and he was about to raise his knife and drop it.The people closed their eyes in fear, not daring to breathe.

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded coldly, "Slow down!"

boom--

"Stop!" The executioner stopped immediately, and the executioners put down their knives.

The people were suspicious, and at the same time turned their heads to look, and consciously gave way to a road.At the end of the crowd stood a peasant woman in coarse cloth.She reached out and took off the blue scarf, and her cloud-like black hair immediately fell apart.Under the bangs, a pair of dark eyes are big and bright.

An extremely strong aura condensed around her, intimidating everyone.

Twelve cavalry rushed to her side, and a column of six guarded the avenue.

The criminal officer hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully to the ground, "Long live Your Majesty!"

The curtain behind him slowly rose.

Feng Zhanxiu flashed in front of everyone's eyes. His appearance was like a Shura from hell, and the air around him seemed to condense.A pair of sharp eagle eyes gleamed brightly, bursting out with a cold light.His thin lips were ruthless, and he smiled casually, so gentle but so cruel.

He remained silent, but he was waiting for her to walk towards him, and walked towards him actively.

Everyone froze in place, not knowing who knelt down first and shouted "Long live Your Majesty".In an instant, the common people knelt down one after another and shouted in unison, "Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live, Long live——"

There is only a hundred feet between them.

But it made her feel so far away, and the distance between her hearts would never be close.

Mingzhu took a step forward and walked towards him step by step.Seeing him getting closer and closer to her, her heart that was still warm was frozen by Bingfeng, and she didn't allow herself to warm up for him any more.Because no matter what, he still has no heart, he is a devil, he is the son of the devil king.

Finally walking in front of him, Mingzhu said coldly, "Let them go."

"Let them go?" Feng Zhanxiu's voice was deep and hoarse, full of magnetism, "What about you? Do you still want to leave me?"

Mingzhu clenched her fists and spat out words against her will, "No!"

"Come here!" Feng Zhanxiu stared at her closely, as if trying to penetrate her.

Mingzhu took a few steps forward, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her towards him.Before she could react, her jaw was already pinched by his slender fingers.When she was in a trance, her eyes met his eyes that made her heart palpitate. She suddenly hated him, and her eyes also shone coldly because of this hatred.

"You hate this king." His tone was not salty, but it made people feel gloomy.

Feng Zhanxiu lowered his head, and put a light kiss on her lips, then bit her lips, licking the bloody smell.He laughed wildly, and whispered in her ear, "Do you think you can escape? This king will never let go! If you die, even if you dig three feet into the ground, this king will dig you out!"

Hearing his words, for some reason, Mingzhu felt a chill and jumped up from the soles of her feet.

"Enough playing, I will take you back to the palace." Feng Zhanxiu breathed lightly, and pointed at her sleeping hole.

Mingzhu snorted, eyes darkened and fell into a coma.

Feng Zhanxiu stood up and hugged her horizontally.He carried her down the steps and said meaninglessly, "Let them go."

"Yes--"

Royal Palace
In the Canary Palace, Feng Zhanxiu was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at the sleeping pearl on Fengtao.His hand, with magic power, gently caressed her delicate little face, and the tender skin made him feel something was burning.He caught a glimpse of her frowning brows, and suddenly narrowed his eagle eyes in displeasure.

His slender fingers touched her brow lightly, as if to soothe her sorrow.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and Yun Ni rushed into the hall.She bowed and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Feng Zhanxiu pinched the corner of the quilt for her, then stood up, walked slowly towards the outer hall, and asked sideways, "What's the matter!"

"Your Majesty! The ladies are dead!" Yun Ni replied softly with a heavy expression.

Feng Zhanxiu frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you die?"

"Just now the two of my subordinates brought some young ladies back to Liangyi Hall. On the way, several young ladies suddenly vomited blood and died. I'm afraid they were poisoned." Zhongli took a step forward and said truthfully.

"Block the news! Thoroughly investigate immediately!" Feng Zhanxiu ordered in a deep voice, "Bury them in the imperial mausoleum immediately!"

After about half an hour, Yun Ni found some clues and came back to her life.She cupped her fists and said, "Your Majesty! At the fifth watch, a little eunuch named Xiao Shunzi once went to the prison."

"At whose order." Feng Zhanxiu asked in a cold voice, but he had already made up his mind.

Yun Ni hesitated to speak, "This..."

Feng Zhanxiu glanced at her indifferently, and said in a deep voice, "You stay and watch." He strode out of the Canary Palace and headed towards a certain courtyard.

"Yes!" Yun Ni responded, knowing that he was going to Ganning Palace.

The sandalwood fragrance in Qianning Palace permeated faintly, and the room was silent.The court lady Cui'er stood aside to serve at any time, and on the phoenix chair, Murong Feixue looked at Xiao Shunzi who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "You've done a good job! Get up!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Xiao Shunzi stood up tremblingly, but was still afraid in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." As soon as he finished speaking, he was afraid that his head would shift.

Murong Feixue stared and smiled, and promised, "Don't worry, you are from the Ai family, and the Ai family will definitely protect your life."
