"My lord, how are you?" Yang Chen didn't know what kind of attack Prince Xuan was suddenly attacked, he just thought it was because of Huangfu Yan Chong's tricks.
The guards in the courtyard had dispersed to pursue the man.
"You don't have to chase me anymore. It will be a waste of effort to catch up." Ximen Jingxuan took a deep breath and said.
He couldn't kill Wu Mei, but he could let Huangfu Yanchong leave as he pleased.
Then, Ximen Jingxuan jumped down from the roof and strode into the house. The commotion outside made Mrs. Mei afraid to show her head. She only dared to stand in front of the window and watch. Seeing Ximen Jingxuan come in, she asked anxiously, "
Prince, are you okay?"
"I am fine, but your situation will be in danger in the future." Ximen Jingxuan forced himself to stay a step away from Wu Mei.
He was afraid of getting close to Wu Mei and being affected by her, so he rarely returned home recently and rarely saw Wu Mei.
He wouldn't believe it at all that it was Lin Xiner who assassinated Wu Mei. He just wanted to know the truth. In the end, Yi Yao, the assassin, really appeared, which Wu Mei probably didn't expect.
Thinking of the moment when he was blocked by Yi Yao pretending to be a doctor in the hospital, Ximen Jingxuan was ashamed of his actions. In front of Mrs. Mei, his control dropped to the lowest point.
For him who has been poisoned by infatuation, Wu Mei is his disaster.
"Prince?" Mrs. Mei looked at Ximen Jingxuan, his eyes were so complicated that she couldn't see through them.
Ximen Jingxuan's hands behind his back could kill Wu Mei just by moving forward.
Is it true that we can't just kill her and be done with it?
Can't?
The hands behind Ximen Jingxuan's back were clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched again, over and over again.
Killing intent?
Mrs. Mei was shocked, she actually saw murderous intention in Ximen Jingxuan's eyes.
But it was only fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, Ximen Jingxuan's eyes were filled with tenderness, so that Mrs. Mei thought she had seen something wrong because of something evil in her heart.
Mrs. Mei was absolutely right. Ximen Jingxuan was struggling again at this time, and his hands behind his back were constantly clasped together.
"Your Majesty..." Mrs. Mei stepped forward gently and leaned against Ximen Jingxuan's body, looking injured and weak.
This was a very serious trick, and in order to be true, the dart penetrated deeply into her body, making her sigh to herself, how cruel she could be to herself.
Surely people wouldn’t think that she would seriously hurt herself with her own hands, right?
It's not that she is cruel, it's that she has reached this point and has no way out. The only thing she can use is Prince Xuan's "love" for her.
Lin Xiner's people really wanted to kill her, and she needed Prince Xuan's protection. She had to use her weakness to sting Prince Xuan's "love" for her, to the point of being as inseparable as before, and letting outsiders see her preparations.
The purpose of being loved.
She must really win Prince Xuan and become a woman worthy of Prince Xuan's name.
Mrs. Mei was thinking to herself as she leaned against Prince Xuan's chest and gently wrapped her hands around Prince Xuan's waist.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you help Madam to rest quickly!"
Ximen Jingxuan forced himself to stay stiff. Being stiff was better than holding Wu Mei in his arms.
"Yes." The maid wanted to quietly retreat, leaving space for the prince and his wife, but she didn't want the prince to scold her.
Wu Mei had no choice but to be pulled away by the maid.
Ximen Jingxuan took a deep breath and felt that the pain in his head was getting worse and worse.
He couldn't kill Wu Mei. As long as he rejected her, he would have a splitting headache just thinking about Lin Xiner.
"My lord, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Did the assassin hurt you just now?"
Even Wu Mei could see something strange about Ximen Jingxuan, there was a lot of sweat on his temples.
"This is none of your business, just rest in peace and recover." Ximen Jingxuan said, trying to maintain his usual expression.
He knew that now that he was weak, he had to be on guard against Wu Mei discovering any flaws and colluding with outsiders to attack him.
"It's nothing serious. I just need to nurse myself back to health." Ximen Jingxuan said and quickly left the house regardless of Mrs. Mei's reaction.
"ah!"
After leaving the Plum Blossom Court, Ximen Jingxuan could no longer restrain himself and punched himself hard on the head.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Chen didn't know the explanation.
Although everyone thought that Prince Xuan fell into Huangfu Yan Chong's trick when he was on the roof, in fact, he could clearly see that Prince Xuan's reaction was the same as when he rushed out of Mrs. Mei's house before, just like he did now.
"I'm fine, please take someone to check the Eagle King's movements." Ximen Jingxuan reluctantly confessed.
The successive appearance of eagles in the capital means that the silver-faced man has appeared in the capital. As an accomplice of Ximen Yin, he must find out.
Ximen Jingxuan deliberately avoided talking to Yang Chen about his situation, not wanting Yang Chen to know, otherwise he would cause trouble with his loyalty.
After sending Yang Chen away, Ximen Jingxuan left Prince Xuan's Mansion and came to the place where Leng Muran and Liu Fusheng stayed.
I have to admit that Ximen Hen is very capable and can find such a secret place. When Ximen Hen took Ximen Jingxuan to find Leng Muran, Ximen Jingxuan immediately decided to let Liu Fusheng stay here to make medicine.
This place is located on the bank of the Sunset River. To reach it, you have to cross the majestic Sunset River or come down from the Sunset Cliff on the Sunset River.
Sunset Cliff is a straight and very high cliff. The cliff is the "bank" of the Sunset River, and it is tens of meters wide before reaching flat ground.
Only people who don't want to live will jump off the cliff. Maybe thousands of people are lucky enough to be washed to the other side of the river and survive.
The entrance to Leng Muran's hiding place is on the cliff next to Sunset Cliff. Ximen Jingxuan thought he knew the terrain near the capital, but he didn't expect that there could be a "cut" on a steep and rugged cliff.
Door".
In fact, it is just a grotto, half sunk in the Sunset River and half exposed. However, sunken grottoes like this can often be seen on the cliff. If it were not for the guidance of Ximen Hen, no one would notice the specialness of this grotto.
That day, Ximen Jingxuan and Ximen Hen flew over the Sunset River like dragonflies, and climbed to the cliff of the grotto. If they didn't have good skills, they could easily fall into the river below.
The grotto is very narrow, only one person can pass through, and it is impossible to row a boat. When entering the grotto, in order to prevent their clothes from getting wet, the two of them held on to the uneven rocks on the top of the grotto and swung in like monkeys on a swing.
Yes, but rocks are much harder to grab than branches, and swinging them is more laborious.
A tunnel in the water is tens of meters long. If it is not at a very high level, it would be difficult to keep your feet from getting wet.
When Qing Qing brought Leng Muran that day, he swam in from the water and took with him a change of clothes carefully wrapped in oilcloth.
The same thing happened to Ou Bei when he brought Liu Fusheng. It was winter, and Liu Fusheng was trembling with wetness. Fortunately, Ou Bei was quick to help him change into dry clothes after passing the grotto.
Passing through the grotto, there is a unique world. Ximen Jingxuan was a little surprised when he first saw it.
This is a small valley, with a radius of only a few dozen meters. Looking up, it is surrounded by upright cliffs, as if they are rushing into the sky. It is not so much a valley as it is a large patio. Standing on the top of the cliff and looking down,
It must be a bottomless abyss.
The water from the Sunset River flowing through the grotto formed a swirling stream in the valley, and the other end seeped away from the cracks in the rocks beside the cliff.
The fallen snow in the valley has not been trampled by anyone, and it still retains its original softness and silvery white color. There are a few wild plum trees with white flowers in full bloom, blending seamlessly with the snow on the ground.
Due to the majestic impact of the Sunset River, the water poured into the grotto has not frozen, and the stream in the valley is still flowing. The sound of gurgling water sounds very pleasant.
Ximen Jingxuan was attracted by the quiet and peaceful atmosphere when he first arrived here.
This time, Ximen Hen didn't need to lead the way, Ximen Jingxuan found it on his own.
It took him a lot of effort to pass through the Sunset River and the grotto. The headache that he had not recovered from along the way became more and more serious. He leaned on the entrance of the grotto and rested slowly.
"Master?" Someone called softly from the door of the stone house not far away.
It was already dawn at this time.
Ximen Jingxuan walked straight over.
After Leng Muran saw the person clearly, and then saw that there were no extra people around Ximen Jingxuan, he lowered his head in disappointment and said respectfully, "The daughter of the people comes to see the prince."
Just now, she was a little excited, thinking that she saw Ximen Hen again. She should remember that there will be another person here now.
When she was first brought here ruthlessly, she thought that Ximen Hen had locked her up on purpose. Depending on her ability, it was not easy to climb to the top of the towering cliff or pass through the grotto and cross the Sunset River.
But not long after, she gave up her thoughts of escaping and was attracted by this valley.
There are stone houses in the valley that were built at an unknown time. Although they are simple, they are enough to provide shelter from the wind and rain. There are also food sent by Merciless, so you can fill your stomach by cooking by yourself.
Suddenly, Leng Muran thought, how nice it would be if he could put aside the disputes in the outside world and live a quiet life here.
It wasn't until one day that Ximen Hen brought Ximen Jingxuan that she realized that as a person living in this world, she could not completely get rid of her identity.
However, it is better to make medicine with the doctor in the valley than to let her poison people. If her poison technique can save people, it will be quite happy to think about it.
However, the person he wanted to save was Prince Xuan, a member of the Ximen family and the mortal enemy of the Leng family. Although Leng Muran didn't know what kind of illness Prince Xuan had.
"Help me diagnose my pulse."
Just when Leng Muran was lowering his head and thinking wildly, Ximen Jingxuan handed his wrist to her.
Now is the time when he is sick. I wonder if there is any toxic reaction. If Leng Muran can find out, things will be easier to handle.
Leng Muran's expression trembled, and he pressed his finger on Ximen Jingxuan's pulse.
"The prince is not in a good mood." Leng Muran checked and took back his hand.
"That's it?" When Ximen Jingxuan asked, he paid careful attention to Leng Muran.
Although he uses her to cooperate with Liu Fusheng, he must also guard against her hiding the truth from him. It is one thing to have a good attitude towards Leng Muran, but he still needs to be cautious.
