Chapter Fifty-Four(1/2)
In the darkness of the street, a figure watched Xueyan leave the general's mansion. It was Hua Ruoxi.
"Xueyan, you have gotten too much. It's time for you to lose." Hua Ruoxi was angry, and secretly made up his mind and turned around and left.
"How are the preparations made by the Northwest tribe?" Master Wu asked his confidant standing in front of him.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the orders of the National Normal University."
"Ye Feng seemed to have noticed what we planned. He was probably setting up heavy troops in the northwest to stop our plan." Wu Guoshi stroked his long beard. "He is a martial arts group, I searched for masters everywhere, and none of them could take his life, and the emperor refused to kill him. It was really hateful."
"Don't worry, the national master is that he is imprisoned in the mansion, which is no longer a concern." The confidant came to Master Wu and whispered. "Now the emperor is seriously ill and Ye Feng is imprisoned again. The power of the government is in the hands of Lord Master. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not as good as us..."
"No, although Ye Feng lost his military power, he was deeply supported by the military and civilians. If he responded to his request, all my major plans would be wasted. I have been planning for so many years and I will never allow any mistakes!" Master Wu said angrily. "I must get rid of him first!"
The confidant lowered his head and thought. "But Emperor Ji Ren has always valued Ye Feng very much. His dereliction of duty has been suppressed. He was just imprisoned and not dealt with. It seems that he intends to protect him. If we go and ask for an order again, I am afraid..."
"I have a way!" Hua Ruoxi pushed the door and walked to the hall, leaned over to salute. "See the charity father."
"You have a way? What can I do? Let me tell you." The national master did not blame her for being rude and signaled her to get up.
Hua Ruoxi walked over and hid in Master Wu's ear and whispered something.
"Good plan, kill two birds with one stone!" Master Wu laughed happily after hearing this, and stood up and said. "I'll go and ask for an order, hahahaha... Just wait to be your wise princess."
It was already afternoon, and Xueyan didn't buy anything. She just sat down at a nearby teahouse and took Cai'er to the palace. Xueyan was quiet along the way and didn't speak, as if she was worried. Cai'er felt strange and asked timidly: "Miss Xueyan knows General Ye?"
"Yeah." Xueyan nodded.
"Did you know me before you met the prince?" Caier asked.
Xueyan raised her head, looked at the blue sky with large clouds floating, and sighed. "Yes, I met you a long time ago."
"The girl is so lucky, and everyone she meets is noble." Caier envies.
Xueyan sighed lightly. She could not tell Caier what she had happened, nor could she tell her the principles of reincarnation in the Three Realms. She just said something she could probably understand. "If you do more good deeds and accumulate virtue, you will naturally meet noble people who will help you."
"Ah?" Caier didn't understand Xueyan's words and looked at her in confusion.
"Nothing." Xueyan smiled slightly, burying her head and continuing to move forward. People in the world often see the gains and losses in front of them, and very few people are willing to do good deeds and accumulate virtues for the invisible future.
As soon as they entered the palace, a few maids came up to congratulate him. Xueyan looked at them happily celebrating.
"The palace has spread. The fifth day of October is a good day. When the emperor gives the marriage, Miss Xueyan will become the hostess of our palace."
"Yes, yes. With such a big happy event, the whole country will celebrate, and Miss Xueyan will become the happiest person in the world."
Several maids said everything, but Xueyan didn't understand and asked lightly: "Has the prince not come back yet?"
"It's not yet, I'm probably still discussing the wedding in the palace." A sharp-eyed maid saw Xueyan confused, squeezed into Xueyan from the crowd, and explained: "The emperor was seriously ill. Master Wu asked for an order to marry the prince and the girl. The wedding was scheduled for the fifth day of the 10th lunar month. It is said that it will be celebrated for three days, and he also ordered a general amnesty for the whole world to participate in the grand ceremony."
When Xueyan heard that it was Master Wu’s idea, there must be any bigger conspiracy waiting for her. She sighed secretly, looking sad.
Several maids saw that Xueyan was not happy and walked away silently. Xueyan sat alone in the room. Why didn’t Xu Jin come yet? Could it be that he had a conflict with Master Wu and had been revealed?
Master Wu’s ruthlessness, Xueyan
I have seen it, and I won’t even let my adopted son go. So isn’t Xiaoqi and Xiaochen even more dangerous?
There is nearly a month left before the fifth day of the 10th month, and now I can no longer get out of it. This road can only be moved forward and cannot turn back.
Xueyan got up and opened the window. The cool wind blew in. The flowers and trees outside the window were withered a little. Xueyan couldn't help feeling a little cold. She still remembered what Hantian said to her last, asking her to live well, but without him, every day now is suffering.
"Hantian, I use my happiness as a bargaining chip to ensure that the people around me can be safe..." Xueyan murmured in a low voice. "Will you blame me?"
Early in the morning, the sky was clear and the sky was high and the clouds were faint.
Xueyan sat alone in the corridor, scattering the fish food in the lake, watching the fish swimming around in the lake freely.
"You are worried these days." Ji Xian walked over. "Are you missing home?"
Xueyan got up and was about to salute, but Ji Xian stopped him. Xueyan hurriedly asked, "Will you not enter the palace today?"
Ji Xian smiled slightly. "Wouldn't it be nice to spend time with you?"
Xueyan did not answer, but just dispersed all the fish food in her hands into the lake.
"I'll be bored in the royal palace these days. I'll take you out for a walk." Ji Xian said, and took Xueyan's hand, got on the horse at the gate of the royal palace, and ran all the way to Quancheng.
It is worthy of being a good horse from a thousand miles away, and it is early in the morning when the horse enters the spring city.
Ji Xian pulled Xueyan to the hillside of Yueshan. The scenery here is in harmony with each other. The red leaves swayed in the bleak autumn wind, like a ball of flames, adding a little warmth to this desolate and cold autumn. Turning over the dense forest, the clear spring flowing down the mountain flows down the mountainside, the noise shook the sky, and when it fell in front of him, there was a waterfall that splashed thousands of miles away. The mist splashed lightly and the mercury waves seemed to be like pearls falling from the sky. The mist that spread out formed a rainbow that appeared faintly by the waterfall, which was extremely beautiful.
Xueyan stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of her and remembered the clear pond on Xukun Cliff. Although the clear water was not as magnificent as before her, it had a unique gentle and tenderness.
"Xueyan, I know you like freedom too." Ji Xian put his shoulders over Xueyan and said softly: "I will not be bound by the prince's identity. We are in this mountain forest, looking for an open space and building a small house, and the piano and se are in the imperial palace, and we will accompany each other for a lifetime."
Xueyan turned her head and avoided his fiery gaze. Behind her was a clearing ground. The redness of the mountains and fields stinged her eyes. The leaves scattered by the rustling autumn wind, like flying flames.
People always have to go through many detours before they know what they really want. They stumbled through the bumps and turned around and met the sunshine. The experience may not be all beautiful, but it makes Xueyan stronger.
Xueyan remembered to talk about her wishes with Hantian on the top of the cliff of Bihua Mountain. The scene that night was just like today. Since she left the heaven, she always thought that her wish was to become an immortal. Until she knew that her wish was to be a pair of fairy-like couples with her beloved, this wish had already slept in their dreams with Hantian.
The two people fell in love deeply, and even life and death were not enough to separate them. Xueyan looked up at the sky and murmured. "Do you only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals..."
Ji Xian hugged her in her arms behind Xueyan. "Xueyan, how about marrying me? Let's take care of prosperity with me, and look down on the prosperity and lightly sword and fast horse."
Xueyan pondered for a moment. It was nothing wrong to fall in love with someone. Moreover, Ji Xian treated her sincerely, but Xueyan still couldn't help but think about it. How good would it be if this sentence was said by Han Tian. Han Tian, can you hear my heart say it again, do I miss you?
Now Xiaoqi and Xiaochen are still in the hands of Master Wu, and she no longer has the right to refuse. Xueyan bit her lips and nodded.
It is obvious that love should be beautiful, but it has become a naked transaction. Han Tian, forgive me!
Hua Ruoxi came to the general's mansion alone. The guards all knew that she was the adopted daughter of Master Wu, so they did not stop her.
"Senior brother, Junior Sister Xueyan is going to marry King Ji Xian as the princess. Are you not in a hurry?" Hua Ruoxi asked straight to the point.
"Loving her doesn't have to get her, as long as she is happy." Ye Feng said lightly, but there was a hint of sadness in his heart. He kept staring at Xueyan silently and guarding her. He never told Xueyan that he actually loved her.
&1t;b
r />"But Xueyan doesn't love King Ji Xian." Hua Ruoxi said loudly, walking to Ye Feng and saying word by word: "Senior brother should know very well that she will not be happy to marry King Ji Xian."
Ye Feng remained silent. She was right. Xueyan was not bound by nature and was kind and simple. How could she find happiness in the imperial imperial family that was fighting openly and secretly? Ji was both virtuous and talented. Emperor Ji Ren had high hopes for him. He was the heir to the future throne, shouldering the welfare of the people, how could he take care of Xueyan's future?
Hua Ruoxi saw Ye Feng thinking and said, "Although I don't want to watch Xueyan's junior sister enter the tiger's mouth and ruin her future happiness. But as a senior sister, I have no power and no military power, and I can't help much." Hua Ruoxi walked over and patted Ye Feng on the shoulder. "What will happen to the junior sister in the future depends on the senior brother."
"Where is she now?" Ye Feng felt a little anxious.
"As far as I know, King Ji Xian took her to Quancheng and probably wouldn't be back tomorrow." Hua Ruoxi replied.
Xueyan, if you are really unhappy, I would rather betray the people of the world than take you far away.
Xueyan returned to Jizhou, and it was the next night. There was still no news about Xu Jin, so she could not drag it down any longer. As she dragged it down, she fell deeper and deeper. If she really married Ji Xian, there would be no room for recovery.
Xueyan couldn't sleep, so she was anxiously walking in the room, and pushed the door open alone and entered.
"Senior Brother!" Xueyan raised her head and saw that Ye Feng was coming in, so she went over.
Ye Feng closed the door with his backhand and anxiously held Xueyan's shoulder. "You are indeed in the palace! Did King Ji Xian bully you?" He was coming after all. He wanted to confirm whether Xueyan was willing and whether she really loved Ji Xian.
"No, he treats me well. He and I have always respected each other." Xueyan explained.
"Then..." Ye Feng was about to speak.
"Fill here for me, and no fly is allowed to be released!" A voice shouted outside the house, and saw torches outside the window scattering, surrounding Xueyan's room.
This was obviously premeditated, and it must be the trap of the national teacher. Everyone outside the house came for Ye Feng.
Xueyan hurriedly asked, "Who told you that I am in the royal palace?"
"It's... Hua Ruoxi!" Ye Feng also saw the clues. It was Master Wu's conspiracy and wanted to kill him with Ji Xian's hands. The emperor was reluctant to kill Ye Feng's military achievements, but Ji Xian was the prince that Emperor Ji Ren loved the most. If Ye Feng touched his taboo, he would definitely die.
There was no way out. Xueyan looked around and saw that the house was completely surrounded. Master Wu mobilized a large number of troops to come to the royal palace to catch people. He must be sure of victory. If he was turned out, it would be even more difficult to explain.
Xueyan turned around and said to Ye Feng, "I'll go and see, wait for me." After that, she walked out.
"Sir, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" Xueyan asked, standing at the door, raised her eyebrows.
"Miss Xueyan, we are chasing the fugitives, and we are just here to chase them. How offensive it is, which makes the girl frightened." Wu Guoshi said polite words, but there was a smug smile in his eyes.
Xueyan got angry when she looked at his face. She was helpless and had no choice but to take care of him. Ji Xian came over. "Xueyan, don't bother you."
Xueyan shook her head and turned to Master Wu and said, "I don't have any fugitives. It's too late now. I still have to rest. Master Guo, please come back."
"Whether there are any fugitives, please ask the guards to come into the house and see it." Master Wu looked up and looked at Xueyan with a smirk. "Miss Xueyan is the future wise princess. If you have a few things, we can't afford it."
"You..." Xueyan knew that this was his conspiracy, but she couldn't refute it.
"Search for me!" Master Wu ordered loudly.
"No need to search, I'm here." Ye Feng walked out, and everyone present was shocked.
"General Ye, offended!" Wu Guoshi succeeded in his treacherous plan, and the smile on his face became stronger. "Take it down for me!"
"Stop!" Xueyan stopped Ye Feng. "I won't let you take him away." If Ye Feng was taken away, Master Wu would definitely find a reason to kill him.
Ji Xian was slightly stunned when he saw Xueyan's reaction, and the waiter rushed over
Wei knew that Xueyan was the distinguished guest of King Ji Xian and would also be the future Princess, so he didn't dare to come forward and wait for the order of the national teacher.
"Miss Xueyan, General Ye was ordered to be imprisoned, but ran away privately. We just came to catch him back. Do you knowingly know him?" Master Wu smiled and pretended to say, "Oh, by the way. General Ye was imprisoned because he did not bring Miss Xueyan back to report. No wonder General Ye ran to Miss Xueyan in the middle of the night. It seems that the general and the girl have a close relationship!"
"You..." Xueyan glared at him. Master Wu obviously wanted to anger Ji Xian and use his hand to get rid of Ye Feng.
"Miss Xueyan is about to be the princess, so don't get entangled with a fugitive!" Master Wu walked to Xueyan proudly and whispered: "If you are willing to let me kill him, I can protect you from death!"
