Kings have been romantic since ancient times, and Beitang Lie was no exception. Although he had three thousand beauties in his harem, when he saw a more beautiful woman, he would still be tempted and want to take her into the harem.
"Ahem."
Empress Dowager Chen coughed slightly, glanced at Bei Tanglie with slight annoyance, and secretly thought, this son is good at everything, but he is too romantic, even worse than his deceased father.
Then he remembered that his mother was still sitting in the carriage. Beitang Lie smiled. If he had known that he would meet such a stunning woman on the road, he should have sat in a carriage when he left the palace.
"Wei Feng, send this girl home properly. You must deliver it to your doorstep."
This order had a hidden meaning. It was clear that Wei Feng must find out where Lu Wushuang lived?
Having been with Bei Tanglie for many years, Wei Feng could tell from the look in Bei Tanglie's eyes just now that the emperor had fallen in love with this beautiful woman in front of him.
Wei Feng responded, and after waiting for the carriage to leave, he turned his eyes and looked at Lu Wushuang, who was bathing in the moonlight. Maybe she might become the empress of the palace in the future. There was a hint of respect in Wei Feng's tone when he spoke, "
Girl, it’s not safe to walk alone in the middle of the night. It would be bad if you meet a gangster again, so I’d better send the girl home.”
"Brother, thank you for your kindness. But I still have to buy wine, so I won't bother you to send it to me." Lu Wushuang declined. How dare she ask Wei Feng to send it to her. If the guess is correct, the person who was with me just now
Empress Dowager Chen was sitting in the same car, and the man with a domineering look on his brows was the current emperor of Beitiao Kingdom. If her lies were exposed, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and her head would be beheaded.
"How about this? I'll accompany the girl to buy wine first, and then send the girl home after buying the wine."
"this……"
"Young lady heard it just now. This is my master's order and cannot be disobeyed." Seeing Lu Wushuang's reluctance, Wei Feng had no choice but to move out of Beitanglie.
Lu Wushuang also knew that it was hard to break the sacred order. Although she didn't want to embarrass Wei Feng, she was more afraid that her lies would be exposed.
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, she decided to buy wine first and then slowly think of a strategy to get rid of Wei Feng on the way.
After finding a pub that was open all night, Lu Wushuang drank a bottle of wine. She carried the bottle and walked with Wei Feng on the quiet street until they reached the alley where she had just happened.
"Brother, you see, my family lives here. Your mission has been completed. You can leave." Lu Wushuang raised his hand and pointed at the door of the house in front of him with a plaque with the word 'Gaofu' on it.
explain.
"Where does your family really live?" Wei Feng's face darkened and he asked in a cold voice. This Gao Mansion is his grandfather's house.
"Yes." Lu Wushuang nodded, not understanding that Wei Feng, who was somewhat respectful to her a moment ago, suddenly changed his attitude at this moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Feng moved his wrist, and the sharp and cold blade was already placed on Lu Wushuang's neck.
"Tell me, what is your purpose in approaching the people on the carriage?"
Lu Wushuang was stunned. This was all nonsense. Why was she getting more and more confused the more she listened?
"Hey, let me tell you, this big brother, although I don't know why you suddenly changed your face and put the knife on my neck, the question you just raised is quite puzzling. It seems that it was always you who wanted to execute you.
My master ordered me to be sent home, but I refused several times." Lu Wushuang said calmly without changing his expression.
This kind of courage and calmness makes Wei Feng somewhat admired. If an ordinary woman has a knife held to her neck, she will usually be shocked. Even if she barely pretends to be calm, there will be a bit of panic in her eyes. This also makes
Wei Feng wondered if Lu Wushuang was just faking the fear in the alley just now?
"Did you kill those three people in the alley just now?" Thinking of this, Wei Feng blurted out and asked.
"Have you not checked the wounds of those people? They all died of snake venom." Wei Feng did not see murderous intent in his eyes. Lu Wushuang raised his hand and pushed away the knife on his neck, not panicking.
replied.
"Did you release those three snakes?" Wei Feng had a very flexible mind and got to the point as soon as he asked.
"I said, brother, do you have too much imagination? If I had the ability to release snakes, I could drag that stinky gangster into the alley and get slapped for no reason. Look, my
The left half of his face is still swollen." Lu Wushuang turned his head slightly and showed Wei Feng the slightly red and swollen left side of his face.
Thinking about what Lu Wushuang said, there was some truth to it. Wei Feng believed Lu Wushuang's words. Thinking of tonight's mission, he said, "Where do you live, can I take you back?"
"How do you know this is not my home?" Lu Wushuang pointed to the plaque behind him and asked with doubts in his eyes.
"The Gao family is my grandfather's residence."
Hearing this answer, Lu Wushuang once again felt a group of black crows flying above his head. Why was he so unlucky? He pointed at the door of his grandfather's house.
"I'm sorry for lying to you. In fact, I also have my own reasons. I am a prostitute, and I had no choice but to lie to you and your master just now. You won't go and report me in front of your master, right?" Afraid of Wei Feng's insistence.
To send him home, Lu Wushuang had no choice but to make up another lie to demean himself.
This time, Wei Feng had no doubts. He stood there, his dark hair fluttering in the night wind. He was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Take care, girl, I won't send you off."
Although there was no disgust in Wei Feng's eyes, it was clear from his distant tone that he despised women from brothels.
Looking at Wei Feng's back as he turned and left, Lu Wushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just in case, and worried that Wei Feng was just acting and that he was secretly following her, Lu Wushuang did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but stayed in a nearby inn for one night.
After a restless night, Lu Wushuang slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. She briefly freshened up, checked out of the room, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard of Luoqiyuan, he saw Beitang Ye sitting cross-legged on the big stone with a sullen face and a circle of black and blue under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.
superior.
Indeed, after seeing off Bei Tanglie and Queen Mother Chen last night, Lu Wushuang was nowhere to be seen when they returned to the bathhouse. Bei Tangye thought that she might have returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and ran to look for her with joy. Little did he know that Luoqi Courtyard was pitch dark.
It was empty, so he sat on the big rock where Lu Wushuang usually practiced and waited for her. This time, he waited for now.
"After you left Prince Qi's Mansion, you never returned to Luoqiyuan. Where did you go that night?"
As soon as he saw Lu Wushuang walking into Luoqiyuan, Bei Tangye acted like he was interrogating his wife who had stayed away all night, with a straight face and a cold voice.
"Thanks to your imperial brother, I was forced to walk on the street with his bodyguard Wei Feng in the middle of the night. In the end, because I was afraid of being followed by Wei Feng, I had to sleep in an inn for one night." Lu Wushuang didn't know why.
When Beitangye frowned and looked unhappy, he actually opened his mouth to explain to him.
After listening to Lu Wushuang's explanation, Beitangye's anxiety and annoyance that he had been waiting for all night disappeared, but another question made his just relaxed brows wrinkle again, "Why are you related to the emperor brother again?"
He stood up from the big rock and walked towards Lu Wushuang while asking. As he got closer, he noticed that the left side of Lu Wushuang's face was slightly swollen and there was a slap mark on his face, "How did you do that?"
"Before I met your imperial brother last night, I met a few gangsters and was slapped by one of them." Lu Wushuang explained.
"Those who don't care about life and death dare to beat up my Beitang Ye woman. Where are those gangsters now?" Beitang Ye's dark eyes froze, and an invisible murderous aura emanated from his whole body.
"Dead." A very short answer.
"You gave them an advantage. Did Wei Feng deal with them for you?" Beitang Ye continued to ask.
Lu Wushuang shook her head, "I'll let a snake bite you and them." She didn't want to lie to Bei Tangye.
"Where are their bodies?" Bei Tangye's dark eyes flashed with a cold light, and he would not let go of any woman who dared to touch me, Bei Tangye, even if she died.
"We still need to keep it in the alley." Lu Wushuang told Bei Tangye the alley where the incident happened last night, and also told Bei Tangye in detail about his encounter with Bei Tanglie and Queen Mother Chen last night.
"Tie Yi, take two people to the alley and drag the three corpses to the mass graves to feed the wild dogs." Beitang Ye ordered Tie Yi, who had been hiding in the dark to protect him.
As Bei Tangye finished speaking, the leaves of a lush tree outside the courtyard wall moved slightly, and a black shadow flew towards the outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion like wind and lightning.
"Look at your face that's swollen like a steamed bun. It's so ugly that you don't know how to apply some medicine." Bei Tangye kept nagging, but he pulled Lu Wushuang towards the big flat stone.
.
"Sit down." commanded.
Lu Wushuang sat down very obediently this time.
Later, Bei Tangye also sat down. He took out a small box from his body and opened it. A fragrant smell spread in the air.
I saw Bei Tangye using his slender index finger to pick out a little ointment and apply it on Lu Wushuang's red and swollen face, and then slowly spread the ointment on her face with gentle movements. A hint of coolness spread on her face,
The redness and swelling gradually subsided and there was no pain anymore.
Seeing Bei Tangye applying medicine for herself carefully and considerately, Lu Wushuang was deeply moved. In addition to being moved, there seemed to be some other emotions.
"Beitang Ye, will you treat me like you do today for the rest of your life?"
Maybe it was because she had been in silence for too long, maybe it was because his gentle movements melted her cold heart, and the mindless questions just blurted out.
Bei Tangye nodded, staring at Lu Wushuang with unparalleled seriousness and affection, taking her hand and placing it on his heart.
"This place will always beat for you alone, this place will always house only you, Lu Wushuang, and this place will always only love you, Lu Wushuang."
The touching vows, the sincere and affectionate eyes, the violently beating heart, and the heart that would always beat only for her, all moved Lu Wushuang.
Her silent heart beat happily with the frequency of his heartbeat, competing with each other. On this sunny noon, when the sun was strongest, they played a thrilling swan song together.
