On the other side of the courtyard, Sang Hong looked a little confused after waking up. Then he sat by the window and stared at the night sky thoughtfully. He always felt that he had forgotten something important.
After Zheng Dan woke up, he subconsciously checked his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they were still fully dressed. Why did he suddenly fall asleep?
She came to the wall and knocked on it carefully. She and Zu An lived next door.
Soon, Zu An's joking voice came from over there: "What's wrong? Did Miss Zheng miss me when she couldn't sleep at night?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Zheng Dan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he deliberately said this to hide it from the people outside, so he said angrily: "I miss you, you big-headed ghost, you are not dead yet."
A strange smile appeared on the yellow-gray-red face outside the yard. People said that rabbits bite when they are anxious. They can force the usually gentle Miss Zheng to be like this. You can imagine how cruel Zu An bullied him.
Both Liang Wang and Liu Yao came back drunk. Seeing that the prisoners were all safe and sound, they all fell asleep in the prepared rooms in the yard with peace of mind.
When they got up the next day, they were about to bid farewell to King Wu, but King Wu invited them to stay for another day: "Yesterday was too short, and Ji Beicheng didn't have time to show many unique things to the two uncles. For example, our Ji Beicheng
The most famous oiran in Beicheng..."
King Wu had already prepared many tempting conditions, and his attitude was extremely sincere.
The subordinate Sun Buqi on the side was even more eloquent: "I heard that various ambushes and assassinations are coming one after another along the way, so it may not be a good thing to go on the road rashly. It would be better to eliminate the people first and find out the situation ahead in advance before leaving.
Safety……"
The two of them were finally persuaded. King Liang stroked his beard: "For the sake of Xiaoyan's filial piety, we will stay one more day, but we can only stay one more day at most, and we can't stay any longer tomorrow."
King Wu laughed: "Okay, okay, Xiaoyan naturally does not dare to delay the official business of the court."
Yun Yuqing on the side was forced to smile. Originally, she had hoped that Prince Liang and others would insist on leaving, so that she would not have to carry out the mission. Unfortunately, it seems that she still has to go...
Time soon arrived in the evening, and Prince Wu's Mansion held a banquet that was even more grand and flashy than last night. Even Prince Liang and Liu Yao, who were used to seeing grand scenes in the capital, found it new.
Yun Yuqing stayed with her for a while, then got up and left, so Liang Wang and Liu Yao naturally didn't want to stay.
Although this grandnephew's daughter-in-law is beautiful, she can't be seen or touched and is not as real as those dancing girls.
But everyone couldn't let her go when she was here, so it was just the right time for her to go.
King Wu smiled and nodded to his wife, but secretly said with his vitality: "Yuqing, if you get rid of it, you must get the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"." Yun Yuqing didn't respond, with no expression on his fair face, and just turned back.
He walked away, leaving only a graceful figure behind.
King Wu was also agitated at this time. He knew that this was the last chance to stop. Once his wife left, he would have no time to stop what happened next.
His hand rose several times, but in the end he still did not stop his wife.
He didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong. On the one hand, he felt very painful, but on the other hand, he felt a little hopeful. His heart was so full of entanglement and struggle that his body began to tremble unconsciously.
He hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, using the drunkenness to cover up his gaffe.
For the throne, everything is worth it!
He kept telling himself, and at the same time, some thoughts that made him excited emerged from the darkest corners of his heart.
I hurriedly drank another glass of wine to suppress my emotions.
King Liang on the side saw it and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Xiaoyan is in a very high mood today."
King Wu smiled apologetically and said, "It's a rare opportunity to accompany my uncle, so I'm naturally a little excited."
King Liang laughed: "Xiaoyan is really filial and a considerate and good husband. It's really good. I have to have a good talk with them after returning to Beijing."
Hearing the word "good husband" at this time, King Wu felt a little harsh and couldn't help but smile a little reluctantly. He didn't know what step Yuqing was in now.
Let's say that after Yun Yuqing arrived at the inner house, she quickly called the demon maids under her command and continued to walk to the other courtyard where the imperial prisoners were detained.
I came here once yesterday, and I am already familiar with it when I come back today.
Because the marks of the Eyes of the Demon remained in the souls of those guards, they were quickly controlled again.
After ensuring that everyone was under control, Yun Yuqing asked the maids to stay outside at a distance and went in alone to find Zu An.
Seeing Yun Yuqing slowly walking in bathed in the moonlight, it seemed as if her whole body was exuding a holy light.
Zu An couldn't help but sigh: "Princess, are you really a demon instead of a fairy in the sky?"
Yun Yuqing was originally in a low mood, but after hearing his words, a smile appeared on her face: "We demons and you humans have different records in the legends and legends. Who said that demons must be evil and monsterous?"
"So seeing is believing." Zu An took a closer look at her flawless cheeks, "The princess seems to have dressed up deliberately today?"
Yun Yuqing sighed in her heart. It was not that she wanted to dress up, but her husband sent a maid to dress her up. Thinking of this, her heart became colder.
"Young Master is joking, I do this every day." She was unwilling to admit this, lest the other party take advantage of her.
Zu An didn't care either: "When a person is beautiful, she speaks with confidence. How about, since you chose to come to me today, have you discussed anything with your husband?"
Yun Yuqing took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "We can help you protect the Chu family from being targeted, and at the same time make the Chu family more and more prosperous."
"Is this the condition you have been discussing for a long time?" Zu An snorted coldly, "As everyone knows, I am no longer a Chu family. Take a step back and say, even if I am a Chu family, what do I care about the Chu family in this situation?
?”
"Young master, why do you pretend to not care? If you really don't care, why did you sacrifice yourself to save the Chu family? You should know that you could escape at that time." Yun Yuqing said, obviously the information about Zu An has been analyzed by them.
Countless times.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have already helped the Chu family once. I can't always help. I'm not that holy." Zu An replied.
"But if you don't cooperate, we can destroy the Chu family in an instant. Then your wife, your sister-in-law who has a good relationship with you, and even your beautiful mother-in-law may be sold to the Jiaofang Division.
Go, that kind of tragic situation is obviously something you don’t want to see." Yun Yuqing's tone was a bit sinister, and at this moment, she looked a bit like a demon just now.
"Are you threatening me?" Zu An was secretly angry and stared at her coldly.
"It's not a threat, I'm just clarifying the relationship with the young master." Yun Yuqing was extremely calm.
Zu An snorted: "I have already said that I have done my best to help the Chu family once. I can't always care about the Chu family's affairs. Whether they prosper or fail, it has nothing to do with me."
"Besides, there is a reason why the Chu family can exist for thousands of years. Even the emperor has been unable to deal with it for so many years. I don't believe that a mere Prince Wu's palace can destroy the Chu family."
Yun Yuqing bit her lip and did not refute. After a while, she continued: "Okay, let's not talk about others, but about yourself. We can take risks and create opportunities for you to escape, and at the same time, we can use various magical skills and secrets.
You can choose all the beauties, and when the time comes, the world will be so big that you can roam about it."
"Run away, why are you running away?" Zu An shook his head, "Isn't it the king's land in the whole world? Where can I escape to?"
Yun Yuqing was a little confused: "Don't you know that you will definitely die when you reach the capital? If you escape, you will at least have a chance of survival."
