Chapter 25: The trouble is just the beginning
Wu Feng's eyebrows did not raise his eyebrows and said, "The villain dares not speculate in vain. However, since it is known to everyone, for the sake of justice, you should avoid suspicion. Although our prince's life and death are not clear, there are still people in the Yun Mansion who can still find out the truth. If the prince has nothing to do with this matter, he will be able to take great care of the world."
Rong Chengxuan looked at Wufeng, with a cold aura in his eyes. The other party lowered his eyebrows slightly, neither respectful nor timid at all. The atmosphere became condensed in the confrontation, and the pressure became lower and lower, as if a bloody battle could break out at any time.
After a while, Rong Chengxuan suddenly relaxed his eyebrows, raised his lips slightly, and said, "Wufeng, I only know that you are not bad at all, but I didn't expect that this mouth is quite powerful. What you said is reasonable. If the Qing Dynasty is clear, it will inevitably lead to some villains. If I stay here, there will inevitably be villains who think that I will do something. However, since you said that there are still people in charge of your Yun Palace, I want to meet for a while to see if he is really capable of taking on this important task."
Fang Yan originally thought that the scene would be out of control, but she didn't expect that Rong Chengxuan would suddenly go down the stairs by herself. Could it be that she had other plans?
Wufeng's voice and expression remained unchanged, saying, "Since that's the case, please wait in the mansion. When he arrives, he will come to visit him."
Rong Chengxuan glanced at the corpse on the ground again, and finally looked at Fang Yan and said, "Let's go."
Seeing his desire to speak but stop, Fang Yan didn't ask much. When passing by Cai Ping, the woman who seemed to be exhausted and could faint at any time suddenly raised her head, and her eyes, which were crying red, looked at Fang Yan fiercely like a knife.
Fang Yan could read the hatred in her eyes at a glance. It seemed that the bond between them was getting deeper and deeper.
After leaving the yamen, Rong Chengxuan called his guards forward and told him to pay close attention to the movements of King Yun. Seeing that there was no sadness on his face, Fang Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" This slight move actually fell into Rong Chengxuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"I used to envy those who have brothers and sisters." Fang Yan said sincerely: "Now I feel more and more that it's good to be alone."
Rong Chengxuan's face froze slightly. If someone else had said this, he would have been angry long ago. But facing Fang Yan, he just sighed helplessly and said, "Even do you think this matter has something to do with me?"
Fang Yan nodded and said, "You didn't look at the guards of the Yun Palace. They all cried like walnuts. Instead, your brother, not only did he not have a single tear, but he was also so indifferent. Oh, it's really better to have a brother than to have nothing."
Rong Chengxuan was embarrassed, cleared his throat, and said, "I just think that the third brother should not be able to die like this. Those corpses are no longer able to be recognized. Maybe he is not inside at all."
"But maybe he is really dead." Fang Yanyu said with a pun, maybe the real Rong Chengjin is no longer in this world.
I hope. Rong Chengxuan answered in his heart, but now whether Rong Chengjin is dead or not, his trouble is coming. He sighed and said, "Maybe you are right. In the royal family, family affection is very cold, and how to make yourself live is crucial."
He had a premonition that this matter was not over yet, or it was just the beginning.
The heavy tone in his tone made Fang Yan slightly tremble. The royal family may be the most bewitching but dirty place in this world. At this moment, she was a little glad that she was just an outsider. But it was not until a long time later that she realized that she was already in the game.
After staying up all night, Fang Yan was already tired, so she returned to the villa and fell asleep. She slept sweetly, but was awakened by the maid who was serving him, saying that Rong Chengxuan had something urgent to invite him. Seeing the maid looking anxious and burning her butt, Fang Yan felt that something was wrong, so she reluctantly got up and washed up and rushed to the front hall.
Before he entered the door, he saw Rong Chengxuan sitting in the chair with a heavy face, with a very haggard face. His charming peach blossom eyes were also a little lost. The circle of eyes was blue and black, becoming a true panda eyes. A circle of green stubble could be seen on his chin, making him look much more "mature".
Fang Yan was shocked. She had slept for less than a day, right? It wasn't a year? Why did Rong Chengxuan wake up and seem to be several years old?
"Why, are you going to take the path of brotherly love after listening to my tips? " Fang Yan teased him, and walked into the hall, sat down in the chair next to him, and picked up a piece of snack on the coffee table and ate it. It was almost evening and I was so hungry.
Her arrival made Rong Chengxuan's eyes look bright, but his face was still solemn, saying, "I just received the news from the capital that my father's old illness relapsed a few days ago."
Fang Yan choked in her throat with a mouthful of pea. She quickly picked up the tea on the table and swallowed it, waiting for his next sentence.
Rong Chengxuan suddenly turned his head and looked at her, saying, "The letter said that my father had not left the bedroom for several days. I think the condition is very serious. Miss Ma, you have to follow me back to Beijing immediately."
"Return to Beijing?" Fang Yanke had never thought about going to the capital with him, but she almost immediately thought of Rong Chengjin. What does the old emperor mean to be sick? Fighting for the throne! Rong Chengjin is deliberately staying in this time and space, isn't it just a plan for this? Then did he already know the news? If he knew it, he would definitely rush to the capital, right?
If he was really allowed to enter Beijing, things would become more troublesome, and she could almost see that her hope of completing the task was getting farther and farther away.
Rong Chengxuan didn't know what she was thinking, so he nodded and said, "You can only cure your father's illness. This matter cannot be delayed. I have already ordered people to prepare. We will set off later."
Obviously Rong Chengxuan had already made a decision, and asked her to come and just inform her, rather than asking her for her opinion.
Fang Yan said without saying a word: "But, if you leave at this time, will the people from Prince Yun's Mansion doubt you even more?"
Rong Chengxuan's eyebrows were filled with coldness and said, "I can't care about so many things. The sooner we set out, the better. There was another conspiracy behind this matter. Now it seems that this conspiracy is not small. If you can't return to the palace in time, things will be even worse."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, if he refused again, he would be suspicious. It would be better to follow him first. Anyway, with his own skills, it would be easy to get out of the way.
Thinking of this, Fang Yan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, everything depends on the prince's arrangement."
Rong Chengxuan's face softened and said, "Miss Ma, you will be my lucky star."
Hearing this, Fang Yan couldn't help but feel a little upset. He trusted her so much. When he found out that she was missing, how frightened and helpless would he be? The scene must be quite interesting.
Thoughts were dissipating, the housekeeper rushed over, holding a stack of clothes in his hand, and said, "Master, you are ready for everything you want."
Rong Chengxuan nodded, and the other party said, "Go and change the clothes, and we will set off in a quarter of an hour."
Fang Yan looked at the guard uniform in the butler's hand, and it seemed that Rong Chengxuan wanted her to disguise herself as a guard. She didn't delay at the moment, and took the butler to the side room next to her and changed her clothes.
Disguise is Fang Yan's strength, let alone a woman dressed in a man. In a moment, a handsome guard was born.
In the backyard, Rong Chengxuan had also changed into a guard dress. When he saw Fang Yan, he was lost in his mind for a moment.
He thought he had seen her beauty, but he didn't expect that when she dressed up as a man, she had a unique charm. Her every move was free and handsome, and her graceful demeanor set off a clear and refined face, which made people unable to look away.
"Prince Chen, it's time to set off." Fang Yan did not avoid it when he knew he was looking at her, and accepted his gaze openly and reminded him kindly.
Awakened by her words, Rong Chengxuan immediately came to his senses. When he met her smiling eyes, he felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly turned his face as if nothing had happened and said, "Let's go."
On this day, there were countless guards entering and leaving the villa. At this moment, the two of them were mixed in a team of guards and went out calmly, which was naturally not very eye-catching. However, Fang Yan still felt several pairs of eyes staring at their movements in the dark, but did not stop them.
After successfully leaving the city gate, Er Qing, the leader, led everyone to gallop along the official road. The sky gradually darkened and passed a small town. Everyone had no intention of stopping to stay. Fang Yan knew that they were afraid that King Yun would catch up and would rush around overnight.
Fortunately, Rong Chengxuan chose all the best horses, and even if he was rushing at night, he was still running steadily. He just rode all night long, and before he knew it, he rushed all night. Seeing that the sky was getting dawn, Rong Chengxuan ordered to stop and rest.
"Are you exhausted?" Fang Yan just sat down against a tree, Rong Chengxuan came to her, reached out and handed her a bun, and said apologetically: "Time is tight, and I can't even let you eat something. Let's get some together first."
Fang Yan was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. After taking the steamed bun, she started eating without caring that it was so cold that it was a little hard.
After chewing for most of the time, I suddenly found Rong Chengrong Chengxuan still squatting in front of her, her eyes falling softly on her face, and she did not leave for a moment.
Fang Yan was slightly stunned and looked around again. He saw that the other guards had divided their labor without waiting for instructions, picking up branches and burying bonfires, and some people even took out dry food and water from the salute.
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner and no one looked here.
Fang Yan glanced at the remaining half of the bun in his hand. Could this be his food? However, in just a moment, she understood and couldn't help but chuckled: "Prince Chen, I have discovered your secret."
Rong Chengxuan didn't expect that she was not shy but was so straightforward, but felt a little embarrassed. However, when she saw her bright smile, she couldn't help but be happy and said, "That's right, actually I..."
"Actually, you like men, right?" Fang Yan leaned in front of him, lowered his voice and took over his words.
Then, he saw Rong Chengxuan's face, which was originally slightly red, turned pale in an instant, and the smile on his face became stiff.
Seeing this, Fang Yan approached his ear and said, "Because since I changed into men's clothing, the look you look at me has changed."
In addition to the stressful work, it is also a good pastime to be flirted with the ancients occasionally.
The soft breath at the ear made Rong Chengxuan's heart tremble. As she approached, a faint fragrance came, which made people's heart sway.
Rong Chengxuan became a man with a family and naturally would not be as shy and helpless as an ordinary boy.
