Listening to Li Meier's words, Yue Ze's heart palpitated. With such a beauty, what more could I ask for?
He waved to the side, and a palace maid came over tremblingly carrying a tray. On the tray, there was a wine jug and a wine glass.*.* Yueze took the wine jug and wine glass and filled a glass.
Afterwards, he drank away the maids around him.
The wine in the jug is a rare and fine wine, but it is also laced with a highly toxic substance, a drop of which can kill someone.
Yue Ze's hand holding the wine glass trembled involuntarily. It would be easy to drink this poisonous wine, and then all his worries would have nothing to do with him. However, he would also be separated from his most beloved woman forever.
Looking at Li Meier's beautiful face, he felt a wave of reluctance in his heart, and said intermittently: "I really want to... I really want to stay with Aiji again... even... just one more day..."
Having said this, Yue Ze slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. Then, he suddenly raised his wine glass and put it to his lips.
"Your Majesty..." Li Meier was shocked, grabbed the wine glass, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you should let me take the first step!"
As she spoke, she made a gesture to drink the poisonous wine in the cup. At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the palace. Then, the door of the palace was kicked open from the outside, and several wind soldiers came from outside.
Rushed in.
Yue Ze and Li Mei'er were both shocked. The latter lost his grip on the wine glass and fell to the ground.
The Feng soldiers who rushed in quickly inspected for a week and found that there was no one else in the hall except Yue Ze and Li Meier, so they all retreated to both sides.
As they separated, another person walked in from the outside. This person was wearing the official uniform of a civil servant of the Feng Kingdom. He was of medium build, not old, and looked like he was under thirty. He had a fair face and no beard, and looked handsome and elegant. If he had changed into casual clothes,
, no different from a scholar.
This person is none other than Cai Gui, the general counselor of the Fengguo Political Council.
After Cai Gui walked into the hall, he first looked at Yue Ze, and then looked at Li Meier with complicated eyes. After pondering for a moment, he bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "My Excellency, Cai Gui, I have met His Royal Highness Prince An...Mrs. Yaning!"
Of course Yue Ze knew Cai Gui. He had met Cai Gui several times when he visited Fengguo Zhenjiang. Unexpectedly, Cai Gui would appear in his palace. Yue Ze was stunned at first, then smiled, smiled bitterly, and lamented: "The country is subjugated.
Sir, why does Mr. Cai need to be so polite?"
Cai Gui gave a quick laugh, cleared his throat, and said: "I... I have a few words that I would like to talk to Mrs. Yaning alone. I wonder if His Highness Prince An can make it easier for me?"
His words immediately aroused Yueze's alarm. He subconsciously grabbed Li Meier's catkins, glared at Cai Gui, and asked in a serious voice: "What do you want to do?"
Cai Gui waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, Your Highness Prince An. I have no ill intentions towards Mrs. Yaning..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Meier gently patted the back of Yue Ze's hand and whispered: "Your Majesty, let me go. I believe in Master Cai's character."
Her words meant that Yueze stared blankly at Li Meier. After a long time, he held her hand tightly before slowly letting go. Li Meier walked out of the inner room and approached Cai Gui.
He bowed and said in a low voice: "Thank you."
She thanked her because Cai Gui did not reveal her identity and did not address her by her first name, but addressed her as "Mrs."
Cai Gui understood what she meant, pursed his lips, and then asked: "You...really decided to die with Yue Ze?"
"Yes!" Li Meier nodded firmly.
"Do you really think he's worth what you're doing?"
"yes!"
"I regret it now, but I still have a chance." As he spoke, Cai Gui approached her and whispered in her ear: "The king has already told you that if Meier is willing, she can stay with the king and be his wife!"
"Sir, please go back and thank the King for your kindness on Mei'er's behalf. Mei'er... can only accept it heartily." Li Mei'er looked at Cai Gui, the firmness in her eyes was heartbreaking.
Alas! Cai Gui sighed secretly, looked straight at Li Meier for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly. He waved to a wind soldier on the side, and the wind soldier immediately stepped forward and put the bag on his shoulders.
He took off the package and handed it to Li Meier.
"Sir, this is..." Li Meier glanced at the package, then looked at Cai Gui in confusion.
"There are two sets of Fengjun uniforms inside. While the palace is still in chaos, you and Yue Ze... run away quickly, far away, to a place where no one can find you." Cai Gui
He took the package and stuffed it into Li Meier's arms without any explanation.
She never expected that Cai Gui, who only thought about his career career, would dare to risk losing his head and let the king and himself escape privately. Li Meier looked at him in disbelief, tears welled up in despair, and she said in a trembling voice:
"grown ups……"
"Stop talking, let's go!" Cai Gui randomly took out a dozen banknotes from his arms, without looking at them, stuffed them directly into the package, then took a deep breath and said: "There is nothing I can do.
There are only so many, so hurry up and leave!”
After saying that, he pushed Li Meier hard, and then shook his head to the wind soldiers on the left and right.
Several wind soldiers took out the oil jars they had prepared, opened the lids, and quickly poured kerosene on the floor and walls of the palace.
With tears in her eyes, Li Meier held the package and slowly backed away while looking at Cai Gui.
In the past, she thought that she was just a tool in Cai Gui's heart, a tool to destroy Anguo and make him prosperous. It turned out that this was not the case. She had her own place in his heart.
She suddenly stopped, lifted up her skirt, and knelt on the ground with a plop. She didn't say anything, but kowtowed three times to Cai Gui. Then without further delay, she stood up, turned around, and walked back to the inner room, exchanging Fengjun with Yue Ze.
military uniform.
The two sets of military uniforms Cai Gui gave her seemed to be tailor-made for them. They were one large and one small. They fit Yue Ze and Li Meier perfectly. Soon, another Feng soldier came forward, took off his helmet, and untied his helmet.
The battle armor was handed over to Yue Ze. Now he was completely confused, his mind was blank, and he put on the Feng Army's military uniform and armor with a confused face.
He couldn't understand why Cai Gui did this and why he wanted to help him like this. When he was in Zhenjiang, although he had met Cai Gui a few times, he didn't have a close relationship with him. There was no friendship at all!
After Yue Ze and Li Meier put on their military uniforms and armor, Cai Gui ordered two wind soldiers to escort them out of the palace, while he himself took the remaining wind soldiers out of the palace, lit torches, and threw them into the palace.
The palace had been doused with kerosene, and the fire caught fire. In the blink of an eye, the huge palace turned into a sea of fire. The fire spread from the inside out, and soon the roof of the palace was broken open, and the flames jumped into the air.
Cai Gui stood outside the palace, watching the fire getting stronger and stronger, and he let out a long sigh.
No one present noticed that there was a person squatting on the courtyard wall not far away. This person was none other than Tang Yin. Now his eye injury has healed, but there is still a slight redness around the eye sockets, but
It no longer affects his vision.
"It turns out that His Highness can be kind-hearted sometimes." With a chuckle, Ren Xiao jumped onto the courtyard wall and sat down next to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin turned to look at him, deliberately pretending to be confused and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Master Cai himself does not have the courage to let King Yue and Miss Mei'er go privately. Presumably, this must have been authorized by His Highness in advance." Ren looked at him with a smile.
Tang Yin shrugged, noncommittal, but he acquiesced.
As Ren Xiao said, even if Cai Gui had the courage, he would not dare to release Yue Ze privately. This is not a trivial matter. If the news reaches the court, he will not only have his head moved, but everyone in the whole family will probably be alive.
If it fails, the Cai family will be exterminated.
"Prince An once did something inappropriate to the princess, and His Highness was willing to let him live. It is really not in line with Your Highness's usual style! Could it be..." At this point, he deliberately did not finish the sentence, and just looked at it with a smile.
Hold him.
After waiting for a long time, Tang Yin didn't answer. He secretly said that he was bored and had to continue: "Could it be that His Highness has fallen in love with Miss Meier and can't bear to see Miss Meier die with Prince An?"
Tang Yin, who was silent, suddenly said: "There is something I want to ask you."
Seeing the seriousness on his face, Ren Xiao stopped joking and asked seriously: "What is your Majesty asking about?"
"Does Lingwu cultivation level really affect one's character?" Tang Yin frowned and stared at him.
"It stands to reason that it is like this." After a pause, Ren Xiao then continued: "However, I think it is a good thing that His Highness's mind has become broader."
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at him, changed the subject, and said in an indifferent tone: "Miss Meier has made great contributions to Fengguo. Letting her and Yueze live is my reward for her. That's all. I have no other intention."
After speaking, he leaned back and floated from the courtyard wall to the outside of the courtyard.
"Uh... His Highness is really indifferent!" Ren Xiaoyueze's palace was set on fire by Feng Jun. Feng Jun's external claim was that both Yueze and Li Meier were burned to death. Don't say that An Ren didn't understand the inside story, even if
He is a wind person, and there are only a handful of people who know the inside story.
To completely cut off An Ren's desire to restore the country, Tang Yin had to create the illusion that Yue Ze was dead.
However, what even Cai Gui didn't know was that Yue Ze and Li Mei'er had not actually escaped from Tang Yin's control.
After the two of them quietly escaped from the palace, they were immediately controlled by the hidden arrows ambushing outside. Tang Yin ordered the secret arrows to place them in an isolated deep mountain forest. Where they lived, Tang Yin sent people to help them.
Tang Yin can provide buildings and food unconditionally, but the two of them can't take a step out. There are dedicated personnel stationed around their residence. It can be said that Yue Ze and Li Mei'er are under house arrest forever by Tang Yin. Of course.
