Chapter 317: The Missing Hu Weiyong(1/2)
Royal Palace.
Outside the Yangxin Hall.
The moment Hu Fei slowly walked out of the hall, he finally let out a deep breath and wiped a trace of sweat from the hair on the back of his neck, but his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Until this moment, he was convinced that he had truly escaped this disaster.
After going through all this today, he finally realized the truth. A person who truly holds the world in his own hands will not really care whether the people around him are loyal or not. As long as they are still valuable, they can
Turn one eye and close one eye.
And he is the one who still has residual value, so he can walk out of the hall behind him alive.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter how tall he stood, he was just an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
This feeling made him very unhappy deep in his heart, but he still had to pretend "I am still useful" in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, because only in this way could he continue to live.
But he was unwilling to do so. This feeling of having his fate in the hands of others frightened him.
So he vowed that sooner or later, he would truly take control of his own destiny, and when that day came, he would never leave his life or death in the hands of others again!
If you want to really live, you have to be the one who controls life and death in the world!
After taking a deep breath, Hu Fei turned around and looked at the main hall behind him, then strode towards the outside of the palace, head held high.
After a long time, Hu Fei finally walked out of the palace gate and saw Chundie and others who had been waiting for him outside the palace gate. Mu Ping and the other three women also came.
It seems that this time, everyone is really scared.
Princess Anqing is also here.
Seeing that Hu Fei finally appeared, Princess Anqing breathed a sigh of relief. With a slightly excited smile on her lips, she quickly rushed to Hu Fei, hesitated, and threw herself into Hu Fei's arms.
Hu Fei said nothing and hugged Princess Anqing tightly into his arms.
The person in his arms was the last trace of goodwill he had for the palace and city behind him.
"You're finally okay, Brother Fei, that's great."
Princess Anqing put her arms around Hu Fei's back and said in a choked voice.
This time, she really thought she would never see Hu Fei again.
"sorry that I had you worried."
Hu Fei sighed and said apologetically.
"It's okay, everything is over."
Princess Anqing shook her head and said slowly, with a satisfied smile on her face.
"go home!"
Hu Fei let go of Princess Anqing, wiped away a faint tear from the corner of Princess Anqing's eyes with his own hands, pursed his lips, and said firmly.
Princess Anqing nodded, followed Hu Fei into the carriage, and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This time, Hu Fei not only frightened Princess Anqing, but also probably frightened Hu Weiyong so much that he planned to go back and apologize to the old man.
"Master, you don't know how worried everyone has been about you in the past few days since you were arrested,"
"Especially the master. In order to plead for you, I knelt in front of the Yangxin Hall for a long time. My legs almost became lame from kneeling. It was not easy for me to recover."
"Now that you have returned safely, I must be very happy."
In the car, Chundie looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but say, with a trace of uncontrollable joy on his face.
After hearing what Chundie said, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown. He was imprisoned for three days. He still doesn't know what happened during these three days.
He didn't expect that before he was arrested, he asked Pei Jie to tell the old man not to stand up for him, but the old man still didn't listen to his advice.
"What else happened in the past three days, tell me about it, young master."
Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.
So, Chundie told her everything about how Hu Weiyong, Prince Zhu Biao, King Yan Zhu Di and others knelt down outside the Yangxin Palace to beg for mercy after Hu Fei was arrested, as well as how the old people in the city knelt outside the palace gate to beg for mercy.
Hu Fei.
Finally, Chundie suddenly knelt down directly to Princess Anqing in the carriage.
"Chuntie! What are you doing?!"
Princess Anqing was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"Your Highness Princess, the master said that it is all your credit for Your Majesty to agree to give the young master a chance to prove his innocence. If you had not accompanied the master to kneel outside the Yangxin Hall for a long time and almost lost his legs, it would not have been possible.
The meeting finally alarmed the Queen."
"If it weren't for the Queen's persuasion, Your Majesty might not have given the young master this opportunity. Therefore, you will be our great benefactor from now on!"
Chundie looked at Princess Anqing and said with gratitude.
"It's not as serious as you said. Get up quickly. Your young master is safe now. This is the best ending."
Princess Anqing said as she helped Chundie up.
Hu Fei frowned and turned to look at Princess Anqing, who had a gentle look on her face, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"What's wrong?"
Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei, smiled and asked, subconsciously touching her cheek, thinking there was something on her face.
"Why didn't you mention a word just now?"
Hu Fei looked at Princess Anqing with eyes full of love and asked slowly.
"No matter what, the most important thing is that you are safe. For you, everything I do is worth it."
Princess Anqing smiled and said softly.
"fool!"
Hu Fei couldn't help but complain, and hugged Princess Anqing into his arms, his eyes feeling moist.
"Does it still hurt?"
Hu Fei asked slowly while holding Princess Anqing in his arms and caressing Princess Anqing's knees.
Princess Anqing did not speak, she leaned on Hu Fei's chest and shook her head gently, with a happy smile on her face.
"If I fail you in this life, I will not die well!"
Hu Fei kissed Princess Anqing's forehead gently and said firmly.
"No nonsense!"
Princess Anqing hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover Hu Fei's mouth and complained.
Hu Fei nodded, said nothing more, and then hugged the beloved in his arms tighter.
...
After a long time.
The carriage finally returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As Hu Fei got out of the car and walked into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was completely blown away. The servants ran around telling each other, with reassuring smiles on their faces.
However, Hu Fei searched around and found that Hu Weiyong was not in the house, and even Qin Hai was nowhere to be found.
"Where's the old man?"
Hu Fei quickly walked out of Hu Weiyong's bedroom, looked at Mu Ping and others in front of him, and asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. After the master left the palace, he said that he was going back to the house first, and then he was picked up by Butler Qin."
Mu Ping shook his head blankly and said.
"Where's the master?!"
Hu Fei turned to look at the other servants beside him, frowned and asked.
But the servants didn't know either, saying that Hu Weiyong had not returned home.
Hearing such an answer, Hu Fei's face was full of doubts, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He secretly thought that the old man had gone to find Xu Da to fight for his life, right?
At this moment, Pei Jie, who was standing in the crowd, seemed to suddenly think of something. He couldn't help frowning and hurriedly came to Hu Fei.
"Master, I seem to know where the master is."
Pei Jie looked at Hu Fei and said hesitantly.
"Where?!"
Hu Fei's eyes lit up and he asked in a deep voice.
"Master, please take a step to speak."
Pei Jie took a peek at Princess Anqing and said hesitantly.
Hu Fei frowned, turned and walked away.
Pei Jie hurriedly followed.
"what happened?!"
