The sky was getting dark, while Xia Yifeng was reading the memorial, she glanced at Mu Yan and Mu Moheng next to her with her peripheral vision without leaving a trace. Seeing Mu Yan sitting on the bed with a gloomy expression, not looking happy at all, Xia Yifeng's mouth curled up slightly.
He lifted it up, then picked up a pile of memorials that he had not read, stood up and walked outside.
"Your Majesty, are you going to..." Zhu Jinzhong, who had been guarding the door, couldn't help but asked doubtfully after seeing Xia Yifeng's actions: "It's so late, are you still going to the imperial study room?"
"Yeah" nodded, Xia Yifeng did not hide his tiredness, casually handed the heavy memorial in his hand to Zhu Jinzhong and said: "There is no way, what should be dealt with must be dealt with after all."
Without further words, Xia Yifeng slowly walked towards the imperial study. The moment he left the palace, all the smiles on Xia Yifeng's face disappeared, and the childish and harmonious look he had when he was having fun with Mu Yan was nowhere to be found.
calm expression
With a hint of worry, Xia Yifeng walked slowly to the study room and opened the door. Looking at the empty room, Xia Yifeng waited for Zhu Jinzhong to light the candle, then sat alone behind the table, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
among
Ice red snow lotus...
Repeating these four words silently in his heart, Xia Yifeng's eyes flashed with light from time to time.
It is really not an easy task to get this ice-red snow lotus. Even though he promised Mu Yan emphatically, Xia Yifeng still knows in his heart that this matter is really difficult to do...
Unless it was a last resort, Xia Yifeng was not prepared to exchange the ice red snow lotus with Yin Bingchen under any conditions because Xia Yifeng knew that if Yin Bingchen agreed and handed over the ice red snow lotus to him, then Yin Bingchen would definitely open his mouth and say yes.
The territory of Yixuan Kingdom is being manipulated.
Thinking of Tang Wei and Qi Heichu who were now in Cangming Country, Xia Yifeng's brows moved slightly as if it was time to ask Tang Wei to take action...
"Your Majesty," just as Xia Yifeng lowered his head and thought, Zhu Jinzhong's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Xiao Ziluo and his wife ask for an audience."
Listening to Zhu Jinzhong's words, Xia Yifeng was stunned because he didn't expect that Xiao Ziluo and Liu Yiyi would come back so soon. According to their speed, they should have set off immediately after he left Yun'an City?
Thinking of Liu Yiyi being tricked by Murong Zixuan, Xia Yifeng curled her lips helplessly. As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against thieves by day and night. Murong Zixuan used this trick really well. He actually used it on the people around Xia Yifeng.
Coming!
After giving the instruction "Let them in", Xia Yifeng found a comfortable position in the chair and sat down lazily on it.
Squinting her eyes slightly, Xia Yifeng looked at the two people who walked in intently, smiled and nodded to them, then glanced at Liu Yiyi, who looked a little pale, and asked: "Why are you back so soon? Look at Yiyi's face.
, it seems that the body has not recovered yet.”
"Your Majesty..." He hesitated and looked at Xia Yifeng. After a moment of silence, Xiao Ziluo suddenly fell to his knees and whispered: "This matter was caused by the negligence of my subordinates. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The reactions of "Yifeng" and Xiao Ziluo were different. After regaining her original sanity, Liu Yiyi was always worried about the fact that she was tricked by Murong Zixuan. "I want to go to Cangming Country."
"Why are you going to Cangming Country?" Looking at Liu Yiyi with twinkling eyes, Xia Yifeng folded his hands on his chest and sat there lazily.
Noticing the anger in Liu Yiyi's eyes, Xia Yifeng suddenly sneered and continued: "Do you think that with your own strength, you can accomplish anything by going to Cangming Country? Or do you think that you are really Yin Bingchen's opponent?
?”
Xia Yifeng rarely shows a cold face to people around her, especially confidants like Liu Yiyi and Xiao Ziluo. So when Xia Yifeng sneered and said the obvious sarcastic words, both Liu Yiyi and Xiao Ziluo were stunned.
I was stunned there by myself
After following Xia Yifeng for so many years, they had never seen Xia Yifeng use such a tone or say such words to them. Even if the mission failed, Liu Yiyi and Liu Yiyi had never seen Xia Yifeng show such a mocking expression.
She lowered her head without saying a word. Liu Yiyi knew in her heart that even if Xia Yifeng didn't say anything, in her heart she must be complaining about her mistake this time.
Liu Yiyi closed her eyes in annoyance. She stopped talking and kept observing Xia Yifeng, the two of them, carefully, but was not prepared to talk to them anymore.
"You guys go back first. Yiyi's body needs to be recuperated in the past few days. I will find time to find you." He issued the expulsion order softly. Xia Yifeng watched the two of them leave with an indifferent expression, and then closed the memorial that had just been opened in front of him.
Murong Zixuan...
The figure of Murong Zixuan appeared in his mind. Xia Yifeng recalled this man who made him feel a sense of crisis for the first time, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Murong Zixuan, is he really dead?
That day in Yun'an City, Xia Yifeng indeed set a trap to kill Murong Zixuan. However, because the Cangming Army rushed over later, Xia Yifeng has not seen Murong Zixuan's body with his own eyes until now.
Is the blood flowing out of the carriage really that of Murong Zixuan? Is the person who fell in the carriage really Murong Zixuan himself?
The more Xia Yifeng thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she slowly clenched her fists. She wanted to see people alive, and wanted to see her body even if she died. If Murong Zixuan was really not dead, could all these things now be explained?
Mu Yan guessed right. The plague that broke out around the capital must be related to Murong Zixuan. Murong Zixuan took advantage of the way to Yun'an City to tamper with several villages along the way.
From time to time, the scene of Mu Moxi waking up and crying loudly saying that he had kidnapped her came to mind. Xia Yifeng pursed the corners of her mouth, trying to guess Murong Zixuan's identity bit by bit.
trick
The internal energy in Xi'er's body should be the result of Murong Zixuan's infusion of Xi'er, and it should also be the result of Murong Zixuan's Zhu Youshu.
If Murong Zixuan is not dead, then he should be in Cangming Kingdom now. If Murong Zixuan's goal has always been Mu Yan, then it can be explained that Murong Zixuan wanted to take advantage of Xi'er's illness and then force him to
Mu Yan went to Cangming Country in person to meet with him...
Xia Yifeng stood up suddenly and looked straight ahead with sharp eyes.
From the day Mu Yan brought Heng'er back, Xia Yifeng felt that something was wrong. If Murong Zixuan wanted to use the child as a hostage to blackmail him, wouldn't it be more advantageous to keep both Heng'er and Xi'er?
But Murong Zixuan only left one
Why?
Because one is enough...!
The haze in his eyes gradually disappeared, and Xia Yifeng stood there with an evil smile on his face.
Ignoring the memorial on the table, Xia Yifeng strode out of the study. Under Zhu Jinzhong's puzzled gaze, Xia Yifeng asked him to go back and rest first, and then slowly walked back to the palace alone.
Under the dim candlelight, Murong Zheng looked at the two little ghosts on the bed with their eyes closed with a soft expression. Xia Yifeng walked into the room with light steps, waved his hand, and cleared out all the servants in the room.
"You're back." Without looking back, Murong greeted Xia Yifeng behind him with a cold voice, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Yes, there is indeed something." Xia Yifeng stared at Mu Yan with deep eyes. He had no intention of provoking Mu Yan's emotions in this late night. He expressed his attitude to Mu Yan in a short story. Xia Yifeng sat on the chair beside him and said.
: "You clean up first tomorrow. I will take you and Ruowu to the disaster area in the afternoon. I want to solve the plague problem as soon as possible."
"Then what?" After listening to Xia Yifeng's words, Mu Yan was silent for a while, turned around, looked at Xia Yifeng who had closed his eyes tiredly, and asked: "After solving the problem, what are you going to do?"
"Go to Cangming Country" the voice became smaller and smaller. Xia Yifeng answered Mu Yan's question almost reflexively, "I will personally go and bring back the Ice Red Snow Lotus."
Xia Yifeng's ambiguous answer made Mu Yan frown and take back the Ice Red Snow Lotus. How to get it?
Standing up, Mu Yan walked in front of Xia Yifeng and looked down at Xia Yifeng, whose breathing was gradually calming down. Mu Yan asked tentatively: "Do you want to exchange something? Or are you going to sneak over and steal it?"
"I want to steal it openly and honestly." Unexpectedly, he raised his hand and pulled Mu Yan into his arms. Xia Yifeng smelled the unique fragrance of Mu Yan's body greedily, and couldn't help but feel more sleepy.
Rob?!
Xia Yifeng's words made Mu Yan suddenly open his eyes wide, and looked at Xia Yifeng in surprise. Mu Yan was about to ask again, is he crazy? But he was stopped by Xia Yifeng's face, which seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Biting his lower lip lightly, Mu Yan was thinking about Xia Yifeng's plan alone in his mind. He broke away from Xia Yifeng's arms. Mu Yan was completely immersed in his own thoughts.
Xia Yifeng lay curled up on the chair and soon fell asleep. Mu Yan, who saw him so tired, had no intention of waking him up again.
Fuyi walked out the door, and Mu Yan stood alone in front of the door, looking at the stars in the sky. The quiet night made Mu Yan's mind clearer. The cool breeze blowing slowly took away the heat from Mu Yan's body.
Wiping away the tight silk coat, Mu Yan began to explore the meaning of Xia Yifeng's words just now.
A burst of light and delicate footsteps slowly reached Mu Yan's sensitive ears and she looked up alertly. Mu Yan knew that in the middle of the night, most people would never dare to come to such a place. After all, she was currently in a dignified place.
The palace of Emperor Yixuan!
