Lingfei and Ningxiang were both shocked. Lingfei secretly regretted his carelessness and took it so lightly. If such top-secret news spread, not to mention that Situ Lian and Jiang Landi would not survive. I am afraid that Situ Chen would not even let her go.
Qingwei's figure was like the wind, and he had already flashed out of the tent.
"Ah..." A scream pierced the sky outside the tent, and Ling Fei's breathing almost stopped. The voice was none other than Murong Yan.
She rushed out in three steps and two steps at a time. Murong Yan fell to the ground with a pale face. Qingwei's hand had already pinched her neck.
"No..." Lingfei reflexively ran over, took Qingwei's arm and said, "No!"
Qingwei looked at Lingfei in disbelief and said: "Are you crazy? You want to leave this woman to die? Don't tell me that you can trust her to keep secrets! I have seen this woman's acting skills. Even if you don't worry,
I’m not worried either.”
Lingfei was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. Of course she knew that letting Murong Yan go was an extremely irrational act, but Murong Yan was a good living person and suddenly disappeared. How could Situ Chen not be suspicious? What should she do?
She only hesitated for a long time, but Qingwei lost the opportunity to take action. A figure shook in the distance, and Situ Chen heard the scream and came over to see the situation.
"My lord, save me..." Murong Yan screamed as she was granted amnesty.
Lingfei's vision went dark and he almost fainted
Qingwei waved away Lingfei's arm and used his palms to crush Murong Yan's trachea. No matter what, he would kill him first and then find any excuse to deal with Situ Chen. Even if he didn't believe it, it was better than letting Murong Yan tell the truth.
But he wanted to kill someone in front of Situ Chen, but he was not qualified yet. Situ Chen held a gentle wind in his palm, brushed off Qing Wei's wrist, pulled Murong Yan into his arms, frowned and asked: "What the hell?"
What's going on?"
Murong Yan stretched out her hand and hugged Situ Chen's waist tightly, her teeth chattering. She took a few deep breaths to calm down, and said anxiously to Situ Chen: "My lord, you have been fooled. The emperor and Concubine Jiang are not dead at all. They
He was let go by Song Lingfei!"
Situ Chen raised his eyes to look at Ling Fei. Ling Fei opened his eyes wide, wondering in his mind that if he refused to admit it to death, Situ Chen might believe it...
Qingwei looked at Murong Yan and said coldly: "Little witch, don't talk nonsense. Even if you want to win favor, you shouldn't say such ridiculous things. The emperor and Concubine Jiang died in front of us. Everyone saw us with their own eyes."
Last time I didn't hold you accountable for lying to Lingfei that the prince was in the house, causing her to wait at the door for several days. You still didn't repent, and now you're here to beat her up again."
Murong Yan bit her lip and said: "I didn't say panic, I heard you clearly, you must believe me, Your Majesty."
Situ Chen squinted at Lingfei for a moment, then lowered his head and said to Murong Yan: "Yan'er, stop making trouble. You can't say such nonsense. If word spreads, the morale of the army will be weakened. How can we control the situation?"
Murong Yan's face turned pale because Situ Chen didn't believe her words, and also because he used that distant title.
Situ Chen softened his voice and said to Murong Yan: "You are my concubine. No matter what disputes our parents have, you are still my woman. Do you understand? You don't want anything to happen to me."
Murong Yan opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Situ Chen interrupted her: "Don't say those words just now. The harem is not allowed to discuss the government affairs indiscriminately. This is a rule set by the ancestors, not to mention such a big thing.
The late emperor and his concubine were indeed seen dead by everyone, and I don’t want to hear any rumors.”
Murong Yan pursed her lips, glanced at Lingfei coldly, and finally whispered: "Yes, Yan'er knows."
Situ Chen said with a smile: "Then go back and rest. How many times have I told you that it's cold at night and don't go out for a walk?"
Murong Yan felt blessed, resigned, and Situ Chen stepped forward, turning her head and asking: "Did she lie to you last time that I was in the palace? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
Lingfei blinked, not knowing what trick Situ Chen was playing.
Situ Chen took Lingfei's hand and said softly: "Yan'er is not sensible. It's her fault to make you angry, but you can't kill her. Don't be so impulsive next time. Let's go back."
Lingfei looked back at Qingwei with a warning look, and Qingwei nodded calmly.
It wasn't until Situ Chen and Ling Fei walked away that Ning Xiang asked Qing Wei in surprise: "What kind of riddle are you and Ling Fei playing?"
A cold light flashed in Qingwei's eyes, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I will guard their camp tonight. If Situ Chen goes back at night, I will fight him."
Ningxiang closed her eyes in depression. She was so happy that she felt so sad. God really didn't like her very much.
Ling Fei and Qing Wei were thinking the same thing. The suspicious Situ Chen would never turn a deaf ear to Murong Yan's words. He kept a calm expression on his face, just because he didn't want to arouse their suspicion. This matter was of great importance. If Huo Hu was not here, he would definitely be worried.
After borrowing someone else's guise, he will definitely go back tonight to see if Situ Lian and Jiang Randy are still in the stone tomb.
Lingfei didn't dare to sleep all night. She closed her eyes and lay next to Situ Chen, but she was very alert and her ears were open. Situ Chen was breathing long, but she didn't know whether she was really sleeping or pretending to sleep.
Early on the second day, Situ Chen continued to advance with his army. It was still the same on the third day. Now even if he wanted to go back, it was too late to go back that day. He really didn't go back...
Qingwei and Ningxiang were surprised how Situ Chen could be so trustworthy this time, and secretly prayed for luck.
Only Lingfei's face became increasingly pale
On the night of the third day, she hid in the camp early and asked Situ Chen with a trembling voice: "Did you already know that I had done something?"
"What did you say?"
"You know what I'm talking about?" Lingfei lowered his head with tears in his eyes.
Situ Chen took her into his arms and sighed: "Actually, I knew it when they died."
Lingfei looked at him in disbelief, wondering where he had exposed his flaw.
Situ Chen said with a smile: "Ningxiang even thought that I would attack Situ Lian. How could you, a little thing, not think of it? If you thought of it, why wouldn't you stop me? But you never mentioned it to me from the beginning to the end.
I was still surprised at first, but when I saw Jiang Randi and my father taking poison together, it became clear to me. I understand my father’s temperament. Jiang Randi may seek death, but he will never do it.”
Lingfei felt desolate in his heart. He had known it for a long time, but he didn't say anything. He must have been waiting for her to confess that she had let him down again.
Situ Chen kissed her long hair and said in her ear: "To tell you the truth, I was really angry at the time. I was not angry that you wanted to help them, I was angry that you were lying to me again and making your own decisions. You would rather believe it.
Situ Lian doesn’t believe me either and doesn’t come to discuss with me.”
Lingfei let out a low sob, tears dripping down his cheeks and onto his chest.
Situ Chen changed his subject and continued: "Later I ordered the soldiers to shoot the patients to death with random arrows and then burn them with fire. They looked at me with fear in their eyes. Only then did I realize that I can't blame you.
