Chapter 124 Design

In the Mingfeng Palace, the lights are shining brightly.

The palace people were all standing in awe in the flickering light and shadow. Inside the main hall, there were many tribute offerings from foreign countries piled high, including precious whole ferret fur, rare fist sized pearls, and nine consecutive rings carved from white jade

When illuminated by light, it shimmered brightly and shone brightly on one's face.

When Su Shangyi walked in from outside, she gently asked, "Where is the princess?"

The palace maid still had lingering palpitations and timidly said, "Inside, I won't come out, nor will I ask the maids to come in and serve."

Su Shangyi felt a heart wrenching pain.

She watched the eldest Royal Highness Princess grow up and said disrespectful words, which meant she was treated as half a daughter. Now she saw the envoy from Tartar raise a glass to celebrate with the Holy One on the hall and betrothed the princess in a few words

"I'll go in and take a look."

Su Shangyi walked over and raised her hand to lift the pearl curtain.

The window was not closed, and cold air blew in from outside. The tentacles of the beads on the curtain were actually cold, and when they were released, they collided together, making a pleasant sound.

But when Shen Zhiyi heard it, she could only feel that the sound was like ice cubes colliding together.

The beautiful makeup in the daytime has already been removed.

The scar on his face, which had once been covered with cherry blossom powder, became particularly prominent on this plain white face, like what the royal family called familial affection. After the big waves washed away the sand particles on the ground, he finally showed some ferocious and ugly abilities.

Shen Zhiyi saw Su Shangyi's figure in the mirror, which made her appear particularly calm. She even gave a faint smile and said, "I'm fine, Su Shangyi doesn't have to worry about me. If she turns around and lets the Empress Mother know, she might even trouble you."

Your Highness in the past, what is this?

At that time, it was bold and unrestrained, saying whatever you were happy about. Now, when encountering such a big thing, everything is so calm.

Shen Zhiyi didn't cry, and Su Shangyi almost blushed first. However, she had always been a very strict person and didn't want to show too much emotion. After enduring it, she said, "I heard that Your Highness didn't have dinner tonight. I really can't rest assured. Let the small kitchen make something new, even if it's a bowl of soup to keep warm."

Shen Zhiyi only looked at the scar on her face, gently stroked it with her fingertips, and lowered her eyes, saying, "I can't warm my heart."

Su Shangyi's tears immediately came down.

Shen Zhiyi finally turned around and hugged the grandmother who was watching her grow up, as if she wanted to draw some strength and warmth from her. However, she avoided the topic of marriage and asked, "Shang Yi, won't Ning Ning come tomorrow?"

When the news of the reconciliation with the Tatars came out, Shen Zhiyi calmly accepted it without crying or making a fuss. Perhaps her calm demeanor only stirred up the rare guilt of Shen Lang, the older brother. He only asked if she had anything he wanted and tried to satisfy him as much as possible.

But she only said that she wanted to accompany the readers back to the palace to study.

In order to make Shen Zhiyi happy, Shen Langdang immediately agreed and allowed the young lady who had originally been selected as the accompanying scholar to enter the palace at night. But Jiang Mansion handed over a confession, saying that Jiang Xuening was sick and couldn't bear the wind and cold. She was also afraid of passing the illness to the princess and had to wait until she recovered before entering the palace.

Su Shangyi also inquired and comforted her, saying, "Jiang Mansion has invited a good doctor to see. Although the condition is severe, it has stabilized and will be able to enter the palace in a few days. Please don't worry."

Shen Zhiyi suddenly felt empty in her heart.

It's better not to come, and it's no different if other accompanying readings come or not.

Besides

She silently curved her lips and said, "Yes, even if Ning Ning enters the palace now, there is nothing to learn. Mr. Xie has led people to calm the chaos of Tianjiao and is not teaching in the palace. When Mr. Xie comes back, her illness will also recover, and it's uncertain if it's just the right time."

Su Shangyi didn't understand what was happening in the court, so she nodded and said, "Your Highness, that's the best way to think."

Then, just like before, remove the Zhucui from Shen Zhiyi's portrait.

Thick clouds of long hair scattered down, but in the mirror, there were a pair of calm, almost lifeless eyes.

*

There was indeed a discussion in the court about the Tianjiao prison robbery.

After all, no one expected so many fugitives to follow out at first.

The plan was proposed by Xie Wei, which naturally drew a lot of criticism.

Although he has always been a civil servant, since some people have questioned his strategies and suspected such negligence in releasing tigers back to the mountains, he naturally has to step forward and take responsibility.

In fact——

This is also the purpose of Xie Wei.

Gu Chunfang's recommendation for Zhang Zhe to take on the risk of impersonating a person from Mount Dujun was a failure of his plan; Now, taking advantage of the fact that the court has some criticisms about this, I take responsibility and investigate the whereabouts of these people and the rebels of the Heavenly Sect, completing the arrest. This naturally brings this matter back into control.

However, there was always a little unexpected.

At first, a large army of officers and soldiers had already been stationed outside the dilapidated temple where Jiang Xuening and his companions had settled.

The originally dilapidated temple has been cleaned up.

Jianshu walked back from the dimly lit dry forest outside, stepped into the temple, and saw Xie Wei sitting on a clean brocade mat in the corner, looking up at the headless Bodhisattva. His dark eyes were half hidden in the shadow, dim and difficult to see.

He was dressed very thick, and his thin lips didn't have much blood color.

Although still looking calm, there was a hint of frosty coldness between the eyebrows.

Jianshu bowed and said, "I found a mark left by Xiaobao on the bark of a tree outside. There was indeed a woman walking with Zhang Zhe, who was quite sheltered by him. Perhaps it was Miss Jiang Er. And..."

Walking with Zhang Zhe, he was quite sheltered by the other party

She is not worried about her own safety.

The Bodhisattva has only a body but no head, and when the light is dim, it looks particularly frightening.

Xie Wei looked at him and only asked, "What else is there?"

Jianshu hesitated for a moment, but his voice softened a bit. "Xiao Bao said that besides Huang Qian and Feng Mingyu, Lord Dingfei has also come this time."

Sitting cross legged, the hands naturally rest on the knees.

His sleeve and robe were wide, covering the back of his hand.

The exposed fingers, while slender, have some green and white colors. The small wound on the abdomen of the ring finger on the right hand has been treated and is scabbed with blood. When it is placed on the knee, it no longer hurts much.

Upon hearing the name, Xie Wei curved his lips and said, "That's quite a coincidence."

There is a hint of mistiness in the smile.

Jian Shuxin knew what the word "coincidentally" referred to and said, "Lord Dingguo is leading the troops and is also heading straight to Tongzhou. The matter you explained a few hours ago has been handled by someone, and the news from Lord Dingguo has been delivered."

If Xiao Dingfei were here, he would probably jump up when he heard these words!

Well done, why is that damn Xiao Dingguo also involved?

===Kunning Section 161===

This matter will start from the day of the court's deliberation.

The strategy of using Gong Yicheng as bait to lure the Heavenly Cult into the game was originally initiated by Xie Wei alone. Apart from some unexpected incidents, Xie Wei should also handle them himself. Unexpectedly, Duke Xiao Yuan of Dingguo jumped out and said that Xie Wei was a civil servant who did not have the ability to lead troops in battle, so it would be safer for him to do it himself.

The emperor thought about it too.

With a wave of his hand, he instructed Xiao Yuan and Xie Wei to handle the matter together. He decided to split the troops and track them separately, striving to capture the rebels in the shortest possible time, apprehend the criminals, and bring back Zhang Zhe who was in danger.

At noon, Xiao Yuan set off with his own soldiers.

Xie Wei was not in a hurry and did not follow behind slowly.

Jianshu is extremely worried.

Xie Wei only gave him one command, saying, "Hell has no way but to break through. Since he wants to die, he must teach him a lesson."

After listening to the instructions, Jianshu was shocked.

However, he had been with Xie Wei for many years. After calming down, he thought about it and was really scared out of a cold sweat. He thought to himself that this time it was one stone and three birds, and he couldn't be good. Not to mention Tianjiao and Xiaoshi, it's Zhang Zhe, sir

There was a fire in the temple, but the wind blew in and it was also very cold.

Xie Wei's face turned a little pale again.

However, in the next moment, there was a slight blush, and he frowned and coughed. His shoulders shook, and the shadows that stretched on the wall also shook.

So the person standing still in the shadow became clear instead.

It is a sword and qin with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing a dark blue strong suit, carrying a bow and arrow pouch, standing behind Xie Wei like a shadow.

Jianshu knows that unsheathing his sword does not necessarily mean killing.

But if the arrow of Dao Qin leaves the string, it will definitely take its life.

"Sister's complexion is not very good, is it uncomfortable?"

Jiang Xuening listened as everyone was still discussing the affairs of the court and the public, and hadn't said a word for a long time. Suddenly, she heard such a concern and looked up to see a towering braid swaying in front of her.

It's that young little treasure again.

The other person had big eyes and was squatting next to the fire adding firewood. When he looked back at her, he seemed to be worried and asked a question.

Jiang Xuening suddenly came to her senses, thinking that the matter of Shen Zhiyi and his marriage was ordered by the emperor. At best, she was just a young lady from an official family. How can she influence the court situation and prevent this from happening?

I can't control it.

Besides, are you really going back to that prison in the capital for the sake of others? It is important to note that opportunities cannot be lost, and losses will never come again. Perhaps there will never be such a good opportunity again in the future

This is beyond your control.

This is beyond your ability.

This is how people have destiny.

She told herself in her heart, forcing herself to pull back the chaotic thoughts in her mind and subconsciously saying, "It's okay."

Xiao Bao was puzzled and blinked, saying, "But you look like you're sick."

Sick?

Jiang Xuening remembered the plan with Zhang Zhe.

After entering Tongzhou City, she had to pretend to be sick and then go to the hospital to see a doctor. By spreading the news, she could escape from danger. Then, without realizing it, she left Tongzhou and the capital.

Starting from now on, it would be just right

So she didn't tidy up her mind either, just sat next to Zhang Zhe with a lazy expression, smiled weakly, and said, "Maybe there was a wind blowing on the road, and I have a headache."

The girl's body is delicate, let alone Jiang Xuening?

At this moment, everyone didn't think much and felt very normal.

Xiaobao's gaze flickered, as if lost in thought.

Xiao Dingfei was originally crowded next to Jiang Xuening. With his eyelids raised, he saw Xiao Bao coming to add firewood to the fire. He felt really scared and quietly slipped away, holding his own water bag. He went to Feng Mingyu's side and asked, "Mr. Zuo, hasn't there been any news from the city yet? I can't wait any longer!"

If this doesn't end soon, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the evil star.

He was so anxious in his heart that he wished he could immediately enter the city and slip away.

Feng Mingyu, however, still remembered his absurd words on the way. His face trembled for a moment and he said, "It should be fast."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from the darkness.

Everyone with swords on their bodies suddenly held down their swords.

Huang Qian heard a whistle in the darkness and quickly got up to suppress everyone's reaction. He smiled and said, "The whistle should have come back. I'll go take a look."

Huang Qian walked over.

There was a dark figure talking to him over there and handing him something.

Huang Qian's body seemed to shake for a moment.

He took the thing back and handed it over to Feng Mingyu.

That is a thin letter holder.

At first, Feng Mingyu didn't pay much attention when he took it over, but when he opened the letter holder, he pulled out the small rolled up pages of the letter and saw a small black emblem drawn in the upper right corner of the letter. The lines were smooth, like the winding mountains, simple to the point of returning to simplicity, and his face suddenly changed.

Upon reading the exhibition letter, the pupils tightened even more.

Despite repeatedly warning himself not to startle the snake, his intense flickering gaze still drifted uncontrollably towards the direction where Zhang Zhe was.

Zhang Zhe was too far apart, only vaguely feeling that the other person's gaze had turned towards him.

He felt a slight chill in his heart.

Xiao Dingfei couldn't wait any longer and repeatedly asked, "How, how?"

Feng Mingyu stuffed the letter back into the receiver and put it back into his sleeve, not letting anyone else see the badge. His heart raced, but when he walked back, he smiled and said, "Please wait a long time. The sentry will reply, everything is safe. Everyone can now enter the city."

Everyone was overjoyed and stood up one after another.

Zhang Zhe also stood up.

Jiang Xuening, however, felt an indescribable unease in her heart. She gently grabbed his sleeve, her lips parted, and before she could say anything, Feng Mingyu had already walked up to them. A face with its back facing the burning fire behind it, although smiling, the shadow covered it with a hint of eerie intent, and its posture was respectful: "Mr. Zhang, let's go together?"
