The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 1001: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole, Using the Plan (1)
Chu Qifeng?Emperor of Nanhua?Feng Liancheng?Empress Chen?Even the fourth prince, even Beijiang and even Mobei, it seems that every aspect has a reason to destroy this marriage.

There are so many things that don't make sense.

After pondering over and over for a while, Chu Xunyang didn't bother to spend any more energy, and just put it behind her, but her thoughts were the same as Chu Qifeng's——

If one blow fails, the opponent will surely make a second attack, just wait.

It's just that she never thought that the second round of attack would come so fast, only at the second watch, just after she fell asleep, Qingluo brought the news of Ge Xiang's death at the posthouse.

"Dead?" Chu Xunyang had already fallen asleep, but when he heard this, he jumped up from the bed.

"Yes!" Qingluo replied with a solemn expression, while lighting the palace lantern on the table, "The news just came out from the post house that His Majesty was in the palace and approved the papers overnight. It's over."

Chu Xunyang sat on the bed with disheveled hair, his brows were deeply furrowed, but he didn't answer for a while.

"Your Highness?" Qing Luo tried to call her again.

"How did he die? Assassinated?" Chu Xunyang came back to his senses and asked.

"I don't know yet." Qing Luo replied: "The person who reported the news over there came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to explain anything clearly, but the news must not be false."

Qingluo couldn't help but feel a little anxious as she said, "No matter what, Nanhua's envoy was killed in our post in the capital. It’s fine if we can get the murderer, but if not, I’m afraid—”

But it is still in the critical period of the two countries discussing relatives.

Ge Xiang is a senior member of the court in Nanhua, a minister, just to kill another country in vain——

This is very serious.

"Murderer!" Chu Xunyang frowned, closed his eyes, and sighed in a strange tone. When he finally opened his eyes again, he said with a cool smile: "If you really catch the murderer, it may not necessarily be the murderer." Good thing!"

Qing Luo was taken aback when she heard the words.

Chu Xunyang had already thrown off the quilt, rolled over and got off the ground, fumbling to put on his shoes.

Qing Luo didn't want to think about it any longer, she hurried over to help her, and while helping her tidy up, she said, "Is the princess going to go?"

"Yeah!" Chu Xunyang nodded, put on his clothes, and quickly pulled his hair with his hands and feet, "Didn't my brother say that there would be changes over there? How did you arrange it?"

"Because the vast majority of people in the posthouse are from South China, His Highness was afraid that things would become serious, so he didn't act inside the posthouse. He only secretly dispatched 2000 people from the Nine City Army and Horse Division to observe secretly. It stands to reason After the incident, the posthouse should have been surrounded!"

There was a problem in Nanhua's mission. After Chu Qifeng was assassinated, he was actually worried that they would fail in one blow and would call Ge Xiang's attention later.

Although Qingluo didn't say anything, she felt somewhat depressed in her heart——

After the incident happened, if the post house had been sealed off, perhaps such an accident would not have happened.

Chu Xunyang glanced at her sullen expression, and naturally saw through her thoughts with a glance, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Don't think that it is the negligence of brother and wife that caused this accident, but it must be like this." He didn't want to escalate the situation, and even suppressed the fact that he was assassinated. Let me ask—if there is no clue at all, if all the Nanhua people in the post were detained and tortured, think about it, What are the consequences of this?"

Even if he wants to do it under the guise of protecting Ge Xiang, I'm afraid outsiders will have a different opinion.

When it comes to the relationship between the two countries, many issues will become extremely sensitive. In the eyes of the emperor of Nanhua, those who moved people from Nanhua without any evidence are a blatant slap in the face.

In the end, even if it was for the sake of his own face, the other party would definitely become angry from embarrassment.

So Chu Qifeng could only let it go.

"Slaves are stupid, so they are naturally not as thoughtful as the two masters." Qingluo smiled shyly, took out a heavy cloak from the cabinet and put it on her.

The earth dragon was burned in the room, and it was warm. Chu Xunyang's fingers touched the silky fur on the cloak before he suddenly realized that it was already the severe winter in March and September.

Her expression was free, and she gently stroked the fur.

Qingluo didn't understand what it meant, so she just explained casually: "It's changing outside, Your Highness should wear more clothes."

After hearing this, Chu Xunyang suddenly became inexplicably irritable——

Recently, the temperature has been very low, which is still the case here in the capital, not to mention being in the northern frontier. Lord Yanling has not fully recovered from the disease caused by the recurrence of the old disease last time. In this weather, others In northern Xinjiang, I don't know what's going on now.

Qingluo is far less careful than Qingteng in this regard, seeing her complexion, she just thought it was something that bothered Ge Xiang and didn't think much about it.

Because he was in a hurry to go out, and it was night, Chu Xunyang didn't make too much grooming, he just roughly pulled up his hair, put on the jade hairpin that Lord Yanling gave her, and hurried out the door.

After nightfall, a strong north wind blew outside, and the weather was gloomy, and it looked like a snowstorm was coming.

"Slave to arrange for the guard of honor?" Qing Luo grabbed an umbrella from behind the door and ran out.

"No need, you go and ask Ying Zi and Ju Hong to accompany me and prepare the horse directly without disturbing others." Chu Xunyang said.

The north wind was bitter, blowing like a knife.

She picked up the hat casually, covered most of her face, and walked out quickly.

Qingluo took her to the door, and ran to the adjacent backyard to call Yingzi, she was still uneasy after thinking about it, before going out, she went to the front yard and secretly dragged Zhu Yuanshan up.

It's already the severe winter in late December, and the night has changed, the street is empty, only the whistling wind occasionally sweeps the dead leaves.

A group of people rode past, and after walking for a while, their faces became stiff and unable to express.

When Chu Xunyang led people over, not only Chu Qifeng's guard of honor stopped at the gate, but even people from Jingzhao Mansion, Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple rushed over after hearing the news. The gate of the post house was packed with carriages and sedan chairs.

"It seems that His Majesty has also received the news." Qingluo let out a breath, and it immediately condensed into mist in front of her eyes.

Chu Xunyang pursed his lips and thought for a while, but stood at the corner of the street without moving.

"Your Highness, aren't we going in?" Zhu Yuanshan rubbed his hands, breathed into his palms, and asked.

Chu Xunyang thought for a while, and jumped off the horse directly.

Qingluo and the others also got off their horses.

Chu Xunyang looked around and asked, "This post house should have a back door, right?"
