Phoenix Knot: Butterfly Dance

Chapter 11

There are more and more things these days, just after discussing Zhilan with Lien Chan, a jailer came.

"Xue Wufeng disappeared? What do you mean by disappearing?"

"This... I don't know. He was originally in prison, but he disappeared when he delivered the meal this morning."

"You go down"

"Yes, the slave will leave"

"Jing Tong, I'm sorry to trouble you." Jing Tong has been listening in the dark, and naturally knows what to do, I just need to wait for the news.

"Queen Mother, it seems that this Xue Wufeng is not simple." Cong Yan sent away all the maids, and also took a sword: "Why don't the slaves help the Fourth Young Master too?"

"No need, Jingtong can take care of it. Speaking of which, what happened to Concubine Yu?" I gave Zhilan the surname 'Yu' and made her a noble concubine.Before conferring concubine, she was conferred the title of princess first, and Lien Chan and I have quarreled a lot for this reason.

"I have already given the imperial doctor to take care of you." Gu Yan smiled again: "Last night, the emperor spent the night at Concubine Tong's place."

"Concubine Tong?" So fast?What is Second Sister thinking?

The whole morning was spent in the imperial garden, feeding the fish in the fish pond, and it was finally boring. At lunch, Gu Yan screened all the maids away.

"Queen, the Fourth Young Master has already captured Xue Wufeng...in the Imperial Tomb"

"Imperial Tomb! It is heavily guarded, how did he get in, could it be..." Could it be that Xue Wufeng is a martial arts master?

"The fourth young master said that Xue Wufeng's martial arts are not inferior to his."

This Xue Wufeng is really mysterious.

"Gong Yan, ask Jing Tong to bring Xue Wufeng here"

"Niang Niang..." Gu Yan looked at me as if hesitantly said, "Yes..."

Gong Yan's reaction was really not normal. After waiting for a while, Jing Tong came with Xue Wufeng.

"Bold and unreasonable, you won't kneel down when you see the Queen Mother!" Gou Yan shouted angrily.

Xue Wufeng chuckled and still stood there.

I signaled Gugyan to stop talking, and asked, "Since you have already escaped, why didn't you escape farther and be brought back again? What is your purpose?"

"I'm looking for"

"Looking for? What are you looking for?"

"Looking for the law of heaven and law in this world" raised an eyebrow: "What law of heaven and law?"

"The queen mother knows the biggest murder of the royal family nine years ago"

I turned my head and asked Cong Yan: "Nine years ago? Murder?"

Gu Yan just pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Nine years ago was the year when I entered the palace, and it was also the year when Emperor Xi Yuan ascended the throne, but that year... what happened?

"Queen Mother, let me tell you what happened nine years ago. If it hadn't happened, you wouldn't be too thick today." Xue Wufeng rolled up his sleeves, and on his left arm was a red totem Tiger: "Does the Queen Mother know what this is?"

"The symbol of Xue Jiajun" Jing Tong said lightly, but he didn't expect him to recognize it.

"Yes, the army of the Xue family nine years ago. When the late emperor was alive, the late emperor's empress was named Qiu Shaoyun. Nine years ago, the late emperor was poisoned and died. Lien Chan judged the murderer to be the queen's family who conspired to rebel. The Bing family, the Qiu family, the Xue family, all the families Even the empress's children will not be spared. Empress Qiu's mother's surname is Xue, and the empress is my aunt. Does the empress understand?"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he asked, "Hasn't the entire Xue family been punished?"

"Yes, but I am a survivor, and I am also an avenger." Xue Wufeng's eyes burst out with fierce murderous intent: "I just want to seek justice."

"Ask for justice?" What kind of justice?There is no need to kill Emperor Xi Yuan.

"The first emperor was not harmed by Empress Qiu. Do you believe it, Empress Dowager?"

The case back then was handled by Lien Chan. I was still young at the time, so I don’t remember much.Could that case go wrong?Besides, what about Xue Wufeng...but he doesn't need to lie to me now.

"Go on"

"Back then, before I fled, my aunt arranged for someone to die in my place. She said, Wufeng must live on and rehabilitate us. After so many years, I went back to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to the late emperor. Ling, let me find out the truth. Even if the queen mother kills me now, there are still thousands of Xue Wufeng. In the past nine years, I have organized a powerful army, and this mission will definitely be completed!"

"Kill you? What reason should I kill you? Assassinate Emperor Xi Yuan?" I stood up and walked to his side: "If it was you who assassinated Emperor Yuan, you would have been executed by Ling Chi long ago. Unfortunately, the assassin was not you. The scapegoat should stay in the prison obediently."

"If you don't kill me, aren't you afraid that I will find out the truth?"

"What are you afraid of?" Turning his eyes and chuckling: "It doesn't make any sense to me whether I find out, Jing Tong, take him back to the prison"

"Yes"

Before Xue Wufeng left, he looked at me meaningfully, wondering why I could be so calm?
