Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1490 Little rascal, she is still alive
Xiao Hou didn't take the carriage, but directly galloped towards the palace.

Because he has Xiao Xu's order in his hand, he can ride a horse after passing the palace gate.

I have never seen His Royal Highness Yi Wang who is so anxious and unstable. The guards of the palace immediately opened the palace gate when they saw it, lest they delay the important event.

So Xiao Hou came to the imperial study room without hindrance.

As early as the moment Xiao Hou entered the palace, Xiao Xu received the news and was waiting here.

Because Xiao Xu believes that if there is no urgent matter, the third child will not use the **** order.

Although it was for the convenience of him entering and exiting the palace, he had never seen him use it.

As soon as Xiao Xu put down the memorial in his hand, a panting person appeared in front of the desk, and the father-in-law next to him pleaded guilty to him with a look of embarrassment, "This old servant is guilty of not stopping His Highness King Yi."

Xiao Xu raised his hand to let his father-in-law go down, and looked at the person in front of him with surprise in his eyes, "What happened? It's not your style to be so panicked."

Xiao Hou didn't intend to beat around the bush, and asked bluntly, "Brother Emperor, I have something I want to ask you. In the assassination incident I planned on Phoenix Mountain last year, the fire spirit appeared nearby because you knew about my plan. Or something else?"

"Why do you ask that suddenly?" Xiao Xu had a guess in his mind.

Xiao Hou's eyes met his sharply, "Brother Emperor, I want to know if Zhijing is still alive."

It was rare to see him take off his gentle coat and reveal such a sharp-edged appearance. Xiao Xu admired it a little in his heart. It seemed that what happened to Pang Zhijing was his backlash.

"I can't answer you about this, but I can show you someone."

As soon as Xiao Xu's words fell, Xiao Hou's eyes lit up instantly, unlike the usual smiling bright eyes, it seemed that the lights that had been extinguished were lit up again.The former is alienated without intimacy, while the latter is joyful with expectation.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xu felt emotional, and led him towards Yan Xu Palace.

Chu Qingyan had already got the news, and she was half-sitting in front of the couch waiting for the two of them to come over. She only knew that Xiao Hou had something to look for her, but Da Bingcube didn't have time to say what it was.

But when Xiao Hou entered the inner hall and saw the people on the couch, Chu Qingyan clearly felt that the light in his eyes dimmed all of a sudden.

"Third, what's the matter with you?" Chu Qingyan was a little confused.

It turned out that the elder brother brought him to see the emperor's wife, not her.

This gap made him depressed all of a sudden.

Xiao Hou cheered up, pursed his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, can you tell my younger brother, Zhijing, is she still alive?"

That's right, back then he had heard the little rascal say that he would ask the emperor's wife to help him leave. At that time, he was too confident that she would not be able to escape from his grasp, so he never took this matter to heart, but when he thought of Huo Ling Appearing under the cliff, and the attitude of the emperor brother just now, the hope in his eyes was rekindled, and he stared at the person in front of him intently.

Chu Qingyan was stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Hou to come to her because of Zhijing, and she didn't expect that after such a long time, he could actually find out about her, she had to admit his persistence, and also saw his infatuation from the side .

only--

"I remember when you found Zhijing's body at the bottom of the cliff, didn't you confirm everything?" Chu Qingyan looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Xiao Hou was stunned for a moment, with stubbornness and temptation in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, isn't that corpse Zhijing's?"

Seeing him holding on, the hands hidden in the sleeves trembled slightly. If she could prove that Zhijing had passed away again, she believed that this man might be ruined, and he would no longer have the courage to live.

Chu Qingyan smiled, "Third brother, I'm very happy that Zhijing's feelings for you can be reciprocated."

As she spoke, she called Biyu to come forward, and Biyu walked up to Xiao Hou and handed over a letter.

"Third brother, take a look, maybe you will have the answer after reading it."

If this incident happened before yesterday, she still wasn't sure whether Zhijing survived or... Her answer would probably be that she didn't know.

But it so happened that she received a letter from Yanluo today.

That letter was plain and plain, the handwriting on the cover was very scribbled, it looked like it was written in a hurry, but in Xiao Hou's eyes, that letter seemed to carry a very heavy weight.

He took it, opened the seal, and took out the paper, with only one line of writing on it.

Zhijing passed the dangerous period safely, don't read it.

It was just a few words, but Xiao Hou looked at them for a long, long time. The heat in his chest spread to his eyes. It was as if a hole had been torn open in the cage where he was imprisoned, and the sunlight poured in. The long-lost warmth and joy There are mixed flavors, and it is hard to tell whether it is joy or sigh.

Seeing him like this, Chu Qingyan felt more confident.

"At the beginning, I promised Zhijing to send her away from the capital, but on the day she left, she happened to know that you were attacked, so she went to the mountain to look for you, and finally fell off the cliff. You know what happened during this period. After Huo Ling found out that she fell off the cliff, she immediately mobilized The nearby people searched for her, but when they found her, her life was already hanging by a thread. It can be said that there was only one breath left. You still remember Yanluo, she was the one who held Zhijing's life. Zhijing will definitely die."

Hearing this, Xiao Hou couldn't help tightening his fingers, his face turned pale.

"Later, Yanluo thought of her father, Doctor Luo, who took her out of the city overnight with a glimmer of hope. Before, we designed Zhijing to leave to fake an accident so that people would think she died in an accident. Pretending to be her body would also We found it, but no one expected such an accident to happen.”

"So you used that fake corpse to replace her and stay at the bottom of the cliff?" Xiao Hou wanted to cry and laugh, with extremely complicated emotions in his heart.

"Yes, because the situation was urgent at the time, we didn't know the relationship between you, and I made a promise to Zhijing not to let her get involved in the political disputes between the two countries, so everything is logical."

Chu Qingyan felt a little sorry, but given the original situation, she had to do this, and if Zhijing was sober, she would be allowed to do it.

"The reason why I didn't notify you is very simple. At that time, Zhijing was injured too badly, and you were not there at the time, otherwise you would definitely feel distressed. Even a genius doctor can't guarantee whether you can snatch someone from Lord Yan and save him. That's fine, if you can't be rescued... so it's useless to tell you, I'm afraid it will give you hope, and when the time comes to annihilate your hope, it will only be a second and heavier blow to you."

Xiao Hou understood what she meant. After a year, the little rascal was out of danger. It was conceivable how badly he was injured.

"It's good to live. As long as she lives, no matter how much torture I suffer, it's worth it. It's a redemption."

All of this is also his own fault. If he hadn't set up a situation at the beginning, if he hadn't insisted on revenge, if he hadn't accidentally involved her, all of this would not have happened, and she would not have suffered so much.
