"When I returned to His Majesty the Crown Prince, I saw no sign of him. However, the Emperor has already left for the East Palace."
"Do as you were told."
"yes."
The black shadow disappeared instantly, and Xia Yunshen stood at the door of the palace, looking at the stars in the distance, without turning around.
Yi Fang sat on the ground, trying to digest every word he heard.
It seems that Xia Yunshen not only calculated that there might be an accident tonight and knew that someone would plot against her tonight, or she also knew who the person behind the scenes was! Moreover, Xia Yunshen was also looking for this person!
Who is he?
Does Xia Yunshen really have the antidote in his hands?
Continuous questions swirled in his mind, and Yi Fang stood up from the ground in confusion, "You know who poisoned you, and you have the antidote in your hands! Don't you?"
Xia Yunshen glanced at Yifang lightly and said nothing.
Yifang rushed to Xia Yunshen, grabbed Xia Yunshen's arm, and roared: "You have the antidote in your hand, don't you?"
Xia Yun lowered his eyes and took a deep look. This time, he answered Yifang's question.
"I have indeed guessed who poisoned me. However, I do not have the antidote in my hand. If Concubine Yi really wants to ask for the antidote, she might as well ask the emperor. I can guess the person who poisoned him, and so does the emperor.
."
"You said Xia Jie..."
Yifang couldn't believe what Xia Yunshen said now, how much of it was true and how much of it was false, but Xia Jie had said that he would never lie to her. If Xia Jie really knew who the poisoner was, how could he not tell her?
, and why hide it!
It seems that Xia Yunshen fell into the trap deliberately and wanted to lure out the person behind the scenes. Could it be that Xia Jie is the same!
No, Xia Jie will not lie to her, never!
I don't know why, even though Yi Fang knew that if Xia Jie deliberately allowed her to come to the East Palace, it would bring more benefits than Xia Yunshen. Not only could he catch Xia Yunshen and declare that he was only damaged, but he could also catch the person behind the scenes.
Killing two birds with one stone, but Yifang still had a stubborn belief in her heart. She didn't believe that Xia Jie would lie to her again!
Such trust, without even hesitation!
Xia Yunshen had been thinking about Yi Fang's expression. When he saw the unshakable perseverance on Yi Fang's face, he coughed suddenly, covered his chest with one hand, and said sadly: "How dare you trust him so much!
"
He didn't wait for Yi Fang's reply and chuckled again, Kong Ming's voice echoing lowly in the hall.
"That's fine. If you don't doubt him, I'll feel at ease if he doesn't let you down."
As soon as Xia Yunshen finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out the soft sword from her waist. All she could see in front of her was the heavy sword light in front of her. She felt a chill in her neck and a pain in her legs. Through the heavy sword light, she saw a pair of cold and heart-wrenching eyes of Xia Yunshen.
When he lowered his head, he realized that his legs and neck were already covered with tiny scars. They were not deep, but they were all oozing with blood. If he looked at them in the dark, he would only feel that the injuries were serious. Only Yifang himself knew clearly.
How shallow are these scars?
"you……"
Before he could ask Xia Yunshen why he did this, Yifang heard a burst of shouting.
"Come on, catch the assassin, catch the assassin!"
The voices of guards and maids suddenly filled the dark night.
Yi Fang was picked up by a black shadow jumping out of the air. She was carried on someone's shoulders, and she only had time to see Xia Yunshen's dark eyes. After being resisted for several feet, she saw Xia Yunshen fainting with Qinggong.
As she slowly caught up, she gradually understood what Xia Yunshen was going to do!
Xia Yunshen was setting up a game. He was setting up a game about assassins!
He asked someone to hold her hostage, and then followed her to rescue her, so that she could walk out of the East Palace openly and remove the stigma that she came to the East Palace for a private meeting! Tomorrow, the courtiers will only say that Concubine Yi was held hostage by an assassin and was seriously injured.
, no one will question it again!
Xia Yunshen was helping her and letting her escape unscathed!
Not only that, Xia Yunshen even sacrificed the clear name he had worked so hard to establish. There was not a single scar on his body. Maybe some people would argue that Prince Dao did this because of his personal grudge with the emperor and was unwilling to do his best to save Concubine Yi.
Let Concubine Yi's body be covered with scars! Xia Yunshen wanted to focus everyone's attention on him, and also wanted to help her clear up the rumors that Hua Yunqing had spread for a long time.
How could a prince who was unwilling to help an assassin have an affair with Concubine Yi?
Yi Fang's eyes gradually filled with tears.
She finally understood that Xia Yunshen really loved her, not for use or anything else. Even though he had other thoughts tonight, in the end, he still considered the last step for her with all his heart.
It's a pity that she can't love him, and she and he are still mortal enemies!
Yifang didn't speak anymore. The wind whistled in her ears. She closed her eyes and let the shouts in the wind pass by. In her eyes was Xia Yunshen's last gaze. She knew that Xia Yunshen was still not far away.
Look at her, but she can't do anything. Not doing anything at this time is the best kindness.
I hope that such a man can forget her, and then be merciless when facing an enemy of life and death in the future. This is the only thing she can do for him at the moment.
"Someone, catch the assassin."
Xia Yunshen's arrangement was extremely clever. The people who resisted Yifang just jumped out of the East Palace and arrived in the imperial garden. They finally met the guards who came to chase and intercept them. The man put Yifang on the ground and let out a long roar.
The tip of the sword was aimed at Yi Fang's throat. With a little force, the tip of the sword penetrated Yi Fang's delicate skin. A red mark appeared again on Yi Fang's neck, and bright red blood flowed out.
In the misty night and the illumination of the palace lanterns, the guards finally saw clearly who the assassin was holding!
"Empress Yi Fei!"
The guards were shocked, and without the assassin needing to say anything, they all retreated!
No one in the palace knows Concubine Yi's status. If the assassin has Concubine Yi in his hands, they will never dare to act rashly!
Yifang was placed on the ground, and she looked around. She saw the anxious faces of the guards, and then saw the corridors surrounding the imperial garden, extending in all directions. She understood that Xia Yunshen wanted someone to bring her here for the purpose.
To prevent anyone from suspecting that she was snatched out of the East Palace, after all, she was in the Imperial Garden, connected to all palaces.
"Bold assassin, don't let Concubine Yi go!"
Xia Yunshen's long sword chased after him, coming from the sky. The movement and sound were mixed with strong murderous intent. Yifang had no doubt that the madness of the sword was just like the owner of the sword at that moment.
"Prince, step back!"
Before Xia Yunshen could actually make a move, a loud shout came out, and Xia Yunshen's soft sword was separated by someone.
"Yifang!"
As soon as Xia Jie landed, he saw another scar on Yi Fang's neck. His delicate and enchanting face was full of anger, and his arms were trembling uncontrollably.
He knew that there was something fishy about what happened tonight, and it could even be said to be weird. It was an interlocking conspiracy. Someone sent a message to Longyang Palace, and the secret guard reported that he had lost his room. He even saw that Xia Yunshen had just done that.
There is room for a sword, but at this moment, any conspiracy is not important. We must first ensure the safety of Yifang. Other things can be left for later!
Eight updates, there are still two more, I will definitely finish it before eleven o'clock, I would have known better not to delete it and rewrite it.
