Chapter 429: Surprise(1/2)
Peking City.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
In the study room in the front yard, Ye Qing was kneeling on the ground with a nervous look on his face. Although Zhu Di had noticed something, he still refused to admit it and tried hard to find excuses for himself.
"Get up."
Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ye Qing said gratefully and slowly stood up.
"I heard that when you were about to return to Peiping, your carriage was attacked?"
Zhu Di looked at Ye Qing and asked as if nothing had happened.
"A sharp arrow did hit the carriage at that time, but it was not an attack, and no pursuers from the Northern Yuan Dynasty appeared."
Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and said.
"Since you didn't see the pursuers, why did you shoot an arrow out of thin air? What happened?"
Zhu Di stared at Ye Qing and continued to ask.
"I don't know about my humble position. I asked Pei Zhen's envoy at that time, but he didn't answer."
Ye Qing shook his head and said helplessly.
This is not his fault. He really didn't know what happened at that time, but he did see with his own eyes that there was something tied to the arrow.
"Has anyone else diagnosed and treated the poison Hu Fei suffered?"
Zhu Di looked at Ye Qing and asked again.
"No."
Ye Qing shook his head and said without thinking.
"Okay, then tell me what happened to you in the North. Did you find anything?"
Zhu Di frowned, changed the topic, and asked in a deep voice.
Therefore, Ye Qing reported to Zhu Di everything he encountered along the way, including what happened in Tianyuan Ancient Town and Fanyang City.
However, he did not mention the existence of Xiao An, let alone the fact that his life was saved by Hu Fei.
"Gone?"
After Ye Qing finished speaking, Zhu Di spread his hands, looked at Ye Qing, and asked with some disappointment.
"Back to Your Highness, no more."
Ye Qing nodded and answered seriously.
"Okay, you can go down."
"Remember, don't let others know you have been here, otherwise you should know the consequences."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said impatiently.
"I understand the humble position."
Ye Qing agreed, bowed his hands, and slowly exited the study.
After Ye Qing left, Zhu Di's face instantly darkened, and he threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
"Your Highness?!"
Shen An was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed, with a look of fear on his face.
"he's changed!"
Zhu Di stared at the door and gritted his teeth.
"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"
Shen An hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.
"He is no longer mine! But I can't understand what method Hu Fei used to conquer him!?"
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said with dissatisfaction.
Although he didn't really discover anything, he could feel that Ye Qing's heart was no longer on his side.
"In this case, this person can't stay any longer! Do you want to?"
Shen An frowned and asked tentatively.
"No, once something happens to him, Hu Fei will definitely become suspicious. Let's spare his life first."
Zhu Di shook his head and said helplessly.
Shen An cupped his hands, not daring to say anything more, and slowly exited the study.
Zhu Di sat on the chair, his face solemn, and he did not move for a long time.
...
Noon the next day.
After taking the second antidote pill, Hu Fei, who had been in a coma, finally woke up. The dark purple color on his face gradually dissipated, but he still looked a little pale.
Seeing Hu Fei regaining consciousness, Pei Jie and Qi Yun, who were standing in front of the bed, were filled with joy and could not suppress the excitement in their hearts.
"Master, you finally woke up. You don't know how worried we were about you during the period of coma."
Pei Jie looked at Hu Fei and said excitedly.
"Where is this?"
Hu Fei gently looked at the layout of the room and asked weakly.
"Master, we have returned to Beiping City safely. This is Prince Yan's Mansion."
"Knowing that you were poisoned, King Yan personally went to the city gate to greet you, so we had no choice but to follow him to King Yan's Mansion and stay in the King's Mansion temporarily."
Pei Jie hurriedly explained.
After listening to Pei Jie's words, Hu Fei frowned subconsciously, with a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry, young master, there's nothing wrong with you."
Pei Jie saw the worry on Hu Fei's face, shook his head and said.
After hearing Pei Jie's comfort, Hu Fei nodded slowly and felt relieved.
"The antidote was passed down by Senior Xiao with a flying arrow on his way back to Peking. No one knows about it except his subordinates and Chundie."
Immediately, Pei Jie lowered his voice and said.
"Very good, how is Chundie's injury?"
Hu Fei nodded and asked slowly.
"It's no longer a problem. The doctor has taken a look at it and prescribed a prescription. It is estimated that he will be cured after a period of rest."
Pei Jie replied affirmatively.
"Where are those brothers who withdrew from Tianyuan Ancient Town before?"
Hu Fei continued to ask.
It seems that what he cares about most is no longer his own injury, but the people around him, and he may not even realize it.
"They have returned to Peiping a long time ago and are staying at Chunfengting Inn. I have already contacted them."
"However, in the Northern Territory, fourteen of our brothers died in total, including eleven Jinyi Guards and three Golden Cavalry Guards..."
Pei Jie lowered his head sadly as he spoke.
"What a heavy loss!"
"Don't worry, I won't treat their families badly."
Hu Fei frowned and said with some emotion.
In the final analysis, those people all died for him. Hu Fei felt very lucky to have a group of people who were willing to die for him.
"By the way, young master, when you were unconscious, King Yan secretly summoned Ye Qing. As for what was said between them, my subordinates don't know."
Pei Jie nodded, then hesitated and lowered his voice.
Hearing Pei Jie's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but frowned, but didn't say much.
Ye Qing had long been a member of King Yan, so being secretly called for questioning at this time was nothing to be surprised about. However, he was a little worried about whether Ye Qing would tell the truth about Xiao An.
Although he had noticed Ye Qing's changes, he was still not convinced.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Ye Qing suddenly opened the door and barged in, making all three people in the room stunned.
"Why did you just barge in like this without permission?! What should I do if I disturb the commander?!"
Pei Jie looked at Ye Qing dissatisfied and asked in a deep voice.
