Zhao Wuyou was alone in front of the wooden house in a daze. Banban also washed away the blood and stains all over his body and lay at his feet, his big head drooping feebly.
Wu Hai learned a lesson today. This kid should have taken Gong Jiu's injured body to the Prince's Mansion to complain. What will he say?
Worried in his heart, he got up, changed his clothes, and went straight to the Prince's Mansion to find out the Prince's reaction to this matter, and also to probe his bottom line.
Since devouring the essence of a thousand leopards, his cultivation has reached a great level, and he has practiced the harmony of dragons and phoenixes for several days and nights in conjunction with the Dragon Saint Clothes, and has developed the actual phoenix wings.
With a wave of a pair of phoenix wings, it can reach dozens of feet away.
Without the time to drink a cup of tea, he went upstairs to the Prince's Mansion. On the roof of the study not far away, there were still several experts patrolling to ensure the Prince's safety.
From a distance, Zhao Wuyou could only see a few figures in the house. As for who was inside, he had to look at the seat position.
As the undisputed protagonist, the prince sat at the desk, and there were several people standing next to him, both near and far, with different close relationships.
However, there is indeed a female character in it that Zhao Wuyou can see through. She can appear in the prince's palace and not retreat when the prince talks about serious matters. There will be no one else except the prince's concubine.
After watching from the sidelines and still unable to detect anything, Zhao Wuyou simply gave up and walked directly to the Crown Princess's room.
At this time, the princess was in the study, talking to the prince. There was no one outside her room.
Zhao Wuyou turned around, lightly jumped into the princess's room, and hid in the closet inside.
He still held the butterfly jade pendant of the dead Qin Xiaofeng in his hand. He was just waiting for the Crown Princess to come over and give it to her. Before that, he also took the opportunity to listen to the inside story and prepare for the Crown Prince to attack him.
He waited anxiously, but the room was still empty. Zhao Wuyou even wondered if this woman had already slept in the prince's room.
But just when he was about to die of patience, the palace door of the Crown Princess was opened, and several dignified maids walked in from the outside, followed closely by the exhausted Crown Princess.
"You all go down. I'll call you if I need anything." She waved her hand and asked all her concubines and maids to guard the door. She took off the day's baggage and sat alone in front of the dressing table, removing her makeup in the mirror.
.
After a while, all the makeup on the Crown Princess was removed, and she was left with only her obscene clothes. She sat alone on a chair and looked at herself.
After a while, she lay on the table and sobbed softly. The sound was so soft that you could hear it if you didn't listen carefully.
"Could it be because of Qin Xiaofeng?" Zhao Wuyou thought secretly, but he still didn't rush to stand up and talk to her face to face.
The princess cried for a long time, which made Zhao Wuyou's legs numb when he was standing in the cabinet. Only then did the woman stand up and gradually walked towards the cabinet.
She put her clothes on the shelf next to the cabinet, and just when she was about to go to bed to rest, she saw a crack in her closet suddenly opened.
She walked forward with some confusion, wanting to reach out and close the cabinet, but she never thought that the cabinet door would open directly, revealing a face with a bad smile.
Zhao Wuyou, who was smiling evilly, did not hesitate and directly reached out to cover the Crown Princess's mouth.
"Princess, don't talk nonsense. If something happens, I can't guarantee your safety."
With that said, he took the princess to the inner room, and along the way, showed the two jade pendants in front of her eyes.
"This is the guy named Qin Xiaofeng. He asked me to give it to you before he died. If you want it, I will give it to you. If you are afraid of trouble and don't want it, then give it to me. I
I quite like this jade pendant.”
Before Zhao Wuyou finished speaking, the Crown Princess struggled with emotion, and her eyes were still filled with hot tears. It looked like she wanted to say something.
But now that he was in the Prince's Mansion after all, he did not dare to take risks. Instead, he pulled her aside with a serious face, turned the dandy bracelet in his hand into a dagger, and placed it on her neck.
"Princess, don't say that I don't trust you. We have indeed had unpleasant experiences, so there is no need for me to trust you."
Immediately afterwards, he said:
"Now as long as you promise not to talk casually and nod your head, I can promise to let go of your mouth."
The latter nodded and accepted Zhao Wuyou's statement.
Seeing her nod, Zhao Wuyou felt relieved, released her mouth, and then put the dagger against her neck vigilantly.
The Crown Princess snatched a pair of butterfly jade pendants from Zhao Wuyou's hands and cried silently. She even deliberately looked outside before crying.
As the Crown Princess of the Fengming Empire, she has to pay attention to everything she says and does. She has become accustomed to herself acting in front of outsiders, and she is the real herself now.
The two of them were in the corner. Zhao Wuyou put the dagger on her neck and listened helplessly to her cries. However, the latter ignored his dagger and still lowered his head, looking at the jade pendant in his hand with tearful eyes.
Zhao Wuyou even accidentally cut a gash on her neck, and a trace of blood appeared.
"You go ahead and cry, I'm leaving first." Zhao Wuyou saw that she was too sad and knew that he couldn't ask anything today, so he simply left to avoid staying in this dangerous Prince's Mansion.
The Crown Princess suddenly took his arm and said seriously:
"Zhao Wuyou, please take this jade pendant away. I understand Brother Qin's intention, but this jade pendant cannot stay with me. If it stays with me, it will only cause unnecessary trouble."
With that said, she handed another pair of jade pendants to Zhao Wuyou, while she threw herself on the bedside, sobbing softly.
He was holding two jade pendants in his hands. Although Zhao Wuyou liked the jade pendants very much, he looked at her with a look of reluctance. The reason why he gave them to him was just because she had a special status and could not put them away.
After much thought, Zhao Wuyou decided to take the jade pendant away, but when he came out, he saw a figure approaching outside the door.
"Sister, I have something I want to talk to you about alone. Can you let me come in?"
It was Wu Hai's voice. He seemed to be in a low mood this time, and what he wanted to say seemed to be very secretive.
Zhao Wuyou had no idea what Wu Hai wanted to say now. He didn't want Wu Hai to discover him in her sister's room. If he was discovered, he might not be able to survive in the Fengming Empire.
"What's the matter? It's too late. I'm going to bed." The Crown Princess was also very anxious. She signaled Zhao Wuyou to quickly find a place to hide, but now the closet was opened by him. If he closed it, there would be another big noise. It was easy.
Make others suspicious.
"Then sister, let me come in and talk to you." After saying that, Wu Hai, who was the childhood sweetheart of the princess, pushed the door open and walked in.
In a panic, Zhao Wuyou was pulled onto the bed by the Crown Princess, while she leaned against the pillow and used her body to block Zhao Wuyou's figure.
A pair of lotus-rooted arms are draped on the quilt. Most people can't tell that there is a person hidden inside.
Zhao Wuyou was a little embarrassed when he was hidden in the quilt. He wanted to step back, but found that the quilt was not big. If he moved around, he would be in danger of being exposed.
But if the distance was too close, he would inevitably become distracted. He tried hard to maintain his image as a gentleman, but he couldn't stand the warmth of the princess.
As soon as the two of them hid, Wu Hai walked in. He did not close the door, but opened it, indicating that it was an honest matter for him to get along with the Crown Princess.
He walked to the side of the Crown Princess and found nothing unusual, so he got on a stool and stopped not far from the Crown Princess.
"Sister, what do you mean by the prince asking me not to deal with Zhao Wuyou in a hurry? Doesn't he also hate Zhao Wuyou? Why can't he listen to your suggestions now?
Can you continue to talk to the prince tomorrow and transfer this bastard Zhao Wuyou away as soon as possible, so as to prevent me from having no choice but to work in Yangjiao Mountain."
Listening to Wu Hai's complaints, the Crown Princess complained secretly. She wanted to remind her brother that there was someone next to her, and she also wanted to stop her brother.
But she could never find a suitable excuse. In desperation, she could only stop Wu Hai and say:
"Wu Hai, didn't the prince say now that Zhao Wuyou should not move for the time being and wait until some time later? Why don't you listen?
You should follow the prince's instructions, don't move around, don't mess around. Remember, don't mess around."
The Crown Princess's voice was slightly excited and trembling when she spoke. She was afraid that her brother would say some nonsense again and Zhao Wuyou would hear it, and then his situation in Yangjiao Mountain would be even worse than now.
After Wu Hai heard what the Crown Princess said, he no longer dared to talk about Zhao Wuyou.
He paused for a moment and remembered something important, so he continued:
"Sister, Brother Qin died two days ago. He died at Zhao Wuyou's residence in Yangjiao Mountain. I'm afraid that this person heard some rumors and wanted to use this to threaten you or me.
I didn't expect that all this would happen so quickly, and I didn't even see Brother Qin for the last time."
The Crown Princess was also touched. She smiled softly and said:
"This is fate. It's not up to us or him. Their whole family is gone, as if they never existed."
Wu Hai said with tears in his eyes:
"Yes, it's a pity. Brother Qin is such a good person. It's a pity that he was born into the wrong family, was used by the elder, and became a traitor in the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor.
I knew he would run away, and I also knew he would come to see you, but unfortunately I didn't do a good job. I should have caught him, put him out, and never returned to Fengming Empire."
The Crown Princess was indifferent. Now everything has become a foregone conclusion. Even if she is unwilling, she will eventually accept it. Who told her to accept her fate and become a Crown Princess?
Wu Hai stayed in her room for a while before leaving, and the Crown Princess released Zhao Wuyou from the quilt after confirming that her brother had left.
She looked at Zhao Wuyou with a complicated expression, fearing that something strange would happen to him.
"Let the matter between Wu Hai and you be over as it is. You can stay well in Yangjiao Mountain and no one will do anything bad to you. I will also persuade Wu Hai."
"I know, but even if you don't want to, you can't resist the advice of his subordinates. I don't believe that he will be so honest." Zhao Wuyou said helplessly.
Seeing Zhao Wuyou's expression, the Crown Princess quickly sat up and said nervously:
"Zhao Wuyou, you won't do anything to Wu Hai, right?
I know that you have many capable men, and I also know that your methods are cruel, but Wu Hai is still a child after all, and you can't do anything to harm him.
When you let that tiger hurt Gong Jiu before, you were actually killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, right? As long as I'm here for a day, you can't hurt Wu Hai."
Seeing that she was so excited and had some solutions in her words, Zhao Wuyou had no choice but to nod and said with a dark face;
"As long as he doesn't want my life, I won't do anything to hurt him, but you should also advise this person and don't let him always go against me."
"Do not worry."
Only then did the Crown Princess relax.
Zhao Wuyou also got off the bed, picked up the jade pendant, and said to her:
"This jade pendant is here with me. If one day you still want it, I will return it to you."
"Well, I know, let me see it again."
Zhao Wuyou handed the jade pendant in his hand to her, and the latter held the jade pendant like a treasure. Unexpectedly, the wet blood on her neck actually stuck to the jade pendant.
In an instant, the two jade pendants emitted colorful light and transformed into one person.
The two people were also blocked by the light of the jade pendant for an instant, and entered a sealed space in an instant.
Zhao Wuyou had only seen this thing in the hands of the Dragon Saint Clothes and the Phoenix clan, but he did not expect that these two jade pendants would actually produce such a result when combined.
When he was wondering, he and the Crown Princess saw a figure flashing in front of him. He quickly followed and chased him. He had no choice but to leave, and the Crown Princess had no choice but to follow behind him, chasing the person who flashed past.
After not taking two steps, the two of them came to a dense bamboo forest, where a middle-aged man sat cross-legged. He smiled and looked at the people who came to his space.
When he saw the flustered princess in obscene clothes, his eyes were full of regret.
"It's not easy for me, Zhou Zhentian, to still see my descendants after so many years of death."
As for you, the little guy is quite powerful. You have mastered the Supreme Tao Sutra at a young age. Although you have not understood its secrets, you can still be regarded as a dragon or a phoenix among people.
It's a pity that you are not of my right blood, and it was only because of her blood that you managed to enter my sky-suppressing space."
Seeing this middle-aged man say this, Zhao Wuyou said with some confusion:
"You are the human immortal Zhou Zhentian who drove the mythical beast tribe into the barbaric land back then?"
The latter looked at Zhao Wuyou with a smile, with only endless nostalgia in his eyes.
"After all these years, there are still people who remember me. It's not easy." This chapter has been completed!
