He paused for a moment, and after seeing Wei Xuerong's face becoming more and more ugly, he continued, "You won't tell me that this basin and this blood-stained silk cloth are also the ones you carry with you.
Things?"
Wei Xuerong was silent.
She couldn't say a word, her mind went blank, she couldn't make any reaction, she could only tremble.
Xia Houfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Xuerong up and down for a long time before he spoke, "Wei Xuerong, are you soft-hearted? Do you want to give up? After seeing Huangfulian's appearance?"
"I..." Wei Xuerong wanted to speak and opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to have been burned by fire and he was completely unable to make any sound.[
"I don't want what happened today to happen again." Xia Houfengli put all the things in his hands back to their original places and stood up, "If there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back without giving Wei Xuerong any chance to speak.
Wei Xuerong sat there in embarrassment, watching Xia Houfeng gradually go away until his back disappeared in the darkness. For a long time, he could not come back to his senses.
Wei Xuerong's body seemed to be filled with lead and she was completely unable to move.
What kind of person is she cooperating with?
Looking at the long empty narrow passage, Wei Xuerong felt chills all over her body for no reason...
She quickly picked up the things on the ground, ran back to her room with a pale face, shook her hands, and bolted the door.
The flickering candlelight reflected on Wei Xuerong's pale face, clearly illuminating her fear and panic.
As if she was exhausted, she leaned against the door, shaking her body and gasping for air for a while, before finally allowing the violently beating heart in her chest to calm down a little.
Wei Xuerong took a deep breath, ran to the table, poured the bottles and jars onto the wooden table, stumbled to the bed, with trembling hands, pulled out a delicately embroidered envelope from under the pillow.
Patterned black bag.
She stole this from Wu Yu.
It contained medicine that Wu Yu had prepared in advance to prevent Jiang Nanyan from falling into coma after a dystocia.
Wei Xuerong overheard Jiang Nanyan taking that medicine.
At that time, nothing had happened to her child yet
After the child disappeared, she was instigated by Xia Houfengli's guards. When she went to save people, she stole the medicine that Wu Yu, who came to check for her every day, carried with him.
At that time, Wei Xuerong's idea was that even if Xia Houfengli failed to take Jiang Nanyan away from the imperial palace and stole the medicine, Jiang Nanyan would definitely not live long if he did. Then, she would be able to take his place...
…
Wei Xuerong believed that as long as Jiang Nanyan was gone, Huangfulian would slowly turn her attention to herself.
However, when he saw Huangfulian refusing to let go and agreeing to give Jiang Nanyan to Xia Houfengli under the torture of Xiahou Fengli, Wei Xuerong was greatly shocked in her heart.
In addition, everything that happened in the room just now and everything I saw.[
At that time, she already understood in her heart that even if Jiang Nanyan was gone, Huangfulian's heart would never turn to her.
To Huangfulian, she was a betrayer, a woman who united with outsiders to frame him. This identity could never change in any way.
Wei Xuerong looked at the small kit in his hand, with a pale expression on his face.
Things have developed to this point, and she no longer knows whether she should continue to persevere or turn back...
***************************************
Two days later, the merchant ship stopped in a small town.
There will be a ten-day journey, and the merchant ships need to replenish enough water and food, so they will stay in the town for at least one day and one night.
After that, you will enter Songguo directly from the canal.
In other words, if you want to turn back, you only have one chance.
Wei Xuerong stood on the deck, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the shore and the crew members who were constantly moving things to the merchant ships. He couldn't help but tighten the bag of tips that had been hidden in his sleeves for the past two days.
Huangfulian, Jiang Nanyan and Concubine Wei disappeared together. There must have been a commotion in the imperial palace of the capital. Wu Yu and Qian Gang must have launched a blanket search in the capital.
After the merchant ship docked, within an hour, officers and soldiers had already arrived three or four times.
It's a pity that Xia Houfeng had changed his appearance for everyone, and the officers and soldiers couldn't recognize them just based on their portraits, so it was naturally impossible to find out that Huangfulian was on this merchant ship.
If they were guards who had been with Huangfulian for many years, they would definitely notice something strange and discover their disguise.
Wei Xuerong believed that someone from Qian Gang and others must have arrived in this town, but they just couldn't get away and searched everywhere.
If she wants to turn back, as long as she quietly passes the news to those officers and soldiers the next time they board a merchant ship for a routine search and asks them to inform Qian Gang and the others, Huangfulian will definitely be saved...
But, after letting Huangfulian go back, where should she go?
It is definitely impossible to go back to the imperial palace in the capital.
After colluding with Xia Houfeng and doing these things, how could they let him go back?
It was impossible for Xiahou Fengli to take her in.
Even if Xia Houfengli still kept his promise and sent her to the original place after the incident failed, Wei Xuerong believed that she would not stay there for long.
If Huangfulian is not around, what's the point of going to that so-called paradise alone? [
Besides, once things fell apart, Xia Houfengli's first reaction was probably to go back to Songguo to recruit people, without caring about himself at all.
Wei Xuerong looked sad and sighed silently.
However, if the officers and soldiers were not notified of the news that Huangfulian was on the merchant ship, and Xiahou Fengli had continued to torture her along the way, Huangfulian might have been killed on the spot before she even reached Songguo.
Xia Houfengli's behavior became more and more cruel.
Not only did he inflict injuries all over Huangfulian's body, he even didn't know what medicine he fed Huangfulian, making Huangfulian's voice hoarse as if it had been burnt by fire, and every word she spoke seemed extremely difficult.
, as if something was pinching his neck severely, he was sweating profusely and his face turned pale.
If this continues, Huangfulian will definitely die.
Wei Xuerong lowered his head and looked at the officers and soldiers patrolling the shore. He gritted his teeth and made a major decision in his heart.
