The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 46 The Murderer Appears
Chu Xunyang was slightly taken aback, and looked at her quite unexpectedly.

Tuoba Yunji smiled, with a bit of guilt in her expression, but she didn't explain anymore, but raised her finger and pointed to the mouth of the well above, "Since those people didn't find this place just now, it means that the location of the well mouth should be It's quite secretive, should we think about how to get out now?"

Chu Xunyang didn't force her, but became more and more interested in this courageous sixth princess of Mobei.

"What's the rush?" She walked slowly around the bottom of the well, carelessly flicking the side of the well with her fingers.

Tuoba Yunji's heart skipped a beat, and she pondered, "Is there a secret way at the bottom of this well?"

"Pfft!" Chu Xunyang couldn't help but stopped and turned around, "Where do you think this is? If you can find a secret passage in the queen's bedroom, what would the whole palace be?"

Tuoba Yunji frowned, "Then what should we do?"

The assassins didn't know if they had really left. It would be unrealistic for them to shout for help to lure the patrolling Imperial Forest Army over. If they didn't find reinforcements but instead attracted the enemy again, the loss outweighed the gain.

"This place is pretty good. If you stay a little longer, you will be clean for a little longer." Chu Xunyang said, taking a deep look at her meaningfully.

Tuoba Yunji thought about the meaning of her words, but before she could figure it out, Chu Xunyang smiled again.

"If you trust me, just wait here. Otherwise, you can call for help yourself and try!" Chu Xunyang said, without waiting for her to react, just put his hands on the walls of the well on both sides, using the walls of the well to exert strength, Using both hands and feet, he pulled out of the mouth of the well in a few strokes.

The withered moss on it was touched by her, and a lot of dust fell down one after another, covering Tuoba Yunji's head and face.

Chu Xunyang climbed up to the mouth of the well, looked back at the mouth of the well half-hidden under a large clump of chrysanthemums on the cliff, then patted the dust on the corner of his skirt as if nothing happened, and walked towards the exit of the garden.

Qingluo finished her work and came back just to meet her. She was shocked when she saw this, and quickly pulled Chu Xunyang to look him up and down, "Princess, are you alright?"

"Your princess is very good!" Chu Xunyang said, paused, then raised his eyebrows again, "But maybe someone will have a headache soon!"

Thinking of someone daring to poison Chu Xunyang in the palace, Qing Luo's face was immediately covered with frost and she said, "The maidservant has been captured and handed over to Lu Yuan for the time being, but at the moment her body The toxin from the infection broke out, and the person passed out, and the servant has not had the opportunity to ask."

"Well, don't say anything about it for the time being." Chu Xunyang nodded, not paying too much attention to it, "Can you save her life?"

"It shouldn't be a problem." Qing Luo said, "The tea is mixed with poison that is taken internally, and its effectiveness has been greatly reduced at this moment, otherwise she would not just faint."

"That's good!" Chu Xunyang said, raising his eyes to look at Qingluo, "Where is Qingteng?"

Just looking at Qingluo's calm expression, she knew that she must be fine, otherwise she would have asked her a long time ago.

Sure enough, Qing Luo said: "Princess, don't worry, Qingteng is fine, but she was fainted by someone, and the slave has already placed her properly."

After a pause, he added: "Why don't you—maid call someone to send her back to the mansion first?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Xunyang raised his hand to stop her and said, "I don't need it for now, I may have to ask her to cooperate in a play later."

Qingluo was a little confused, but Chu Xunyang didn't want to say more, so he just blinked at her, and put it off for the time being.

Qingluo is the most calm person, as long as it is something that Chu Xunyang doesn't want to say, she never asks, and this time is naturally the same, but she just looked around and didn't see Tuoba Yunji, she couldn't help being surprised, Said: "Princess, isn't that Princess Yunji with you? She—"

Chu Xunyang pursed her lips and motioned her to look at the flowers in the distance, "There is a dry well there, I asked her to stay and rest for a while."

Qing Luo frowned, and there was a cold and murderous intent in her eyes, "Princess, is it because this Tuoba Yunji is suspicious, and wants to force you to save her?"

Within the boundaries of the entire capital city, no one dared to kill Chu Xunyang. The person who came was targeting Tuoba Yunji. This was already an indisputable fact, and it was no wonder that Qingluo didn't want to see her.

"She will leave other people alone and come to me for help, which means that she knows my character and ability well. She is a rare smart person, and she will not do such stupid things like digging holes for herself." Chu Xunyang thought Shaking her head without thinking, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she asked, "If it's really a trick she used to put her to death and live later, once I find out what happened, what good will she get?"

Qing Luo thinks about it, and she is even more confused: "She is an outsider, and she is a woman, who would be eager to openly attack her in the palace?"

"You also said that she is just an outsider!" Chu Xunyang said, squinting his eyes, and smiled meaningfully, "We people in the court can't afford to make things difficult for her, an unknown woman. The murderer is nothing more than There was a back and forth between the two."

Qingluo frowned tightly, thought for a while and said, "Leaving aside the disputes between the three of them, the fifth prince of Mobei seems to be a man of the city. You wouldn't do such a foolish thing."

Fortunately, Tuoba Yunji was lucky enough to escape, if she was really poisoned in the palace, she would definitely cause many unnecessary troubles.

At that time, the emperor will definitely not take this responsibility, and will definitely throw this hot potato back into the hands of the Mobei people themselves.

Then Tuoba Huai'an not only needs to deal with the emperor's investigation, but also lost a royal daughter under his nose, and will inevitably be severely interrogated by the king of Mobei after returning. This is not the same as stabbing Hornet's nest?
Chu Xunyang naturally knew what Qingluo could think of, so he didn't say much at the moment, he just patted off a small piece of grass on his cuff, and continued to walk towards the exit: "Let's go , let's go ahead and see who is behind the scenes!"

Qing Luo nodded and followed quickly.

Chu Xunyang didn't show off, and deliberately avoided the patrol route of the guards during this time period. Even the maids and servants walking in the Shoukang Palace avoided them one by one, and went back to the main hall in front of them secretly.

It was almost noon by then.

Empress Luo went back to her bedroom to change clothes, while the others were led by the maids to wait in the Hundred Gardens first.

There are a lot of people here, so Chu Xunyang waited in advance on a corridor diagonally opposite to the gate of Shoukang Palace, watching from a distance a group of wives and daughters filed out of it, heading towards Baihuayuan go.

"The Eighth Princess of Mobei is not among them." After observing for a while, Qingluo said.
