The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 726 Thank you for helping me escape! (7)
This was originally a risk-free gamble. If Chu Yijian succeeded, the East Palace would follow suit to collect interest. If Chu Yijian lost, it was his own fault.

Li Wei listened, but the expression on his face became more and more dignified, and he said: "The news I got before, when the emperor's palace was blown up, except for the prince who was with the emperor, and then the king of Nanhe complained of illness, it was not in time for a while. Entered the palace, survived, the other sons of Emperor Xiyue——all died in the sea of ​​fire!"

"Huh?" Feng Liancheng still kept a refined smile on his face when he heard the words, and frowned after hearing this, "The king of Nanhe said he was sick?"

He said it himself, but shook his head in denial, "I'm afraid it wasn't him calling the disease, but Chu Qiyan forced him to call it sick, and only then saved his life. Speaking of it--the position of the prince of Xiyue is not very firm. .”

"Will it?" Li Wei didn't believe it, "Nanhe King's qualifications are mediocre, and he was disgusted by the Emperor Xiyue because of his stupid things before, so no matter how good the son of Nanhe King's son is, compared with the prince, his qualifications are still It’s so far away, how can there be capital and the crown prince to take this position?”

"Maybe not in the past, but not necessarily in the future!" Feng Liancheng said, letting out a meaningful breath, and the expression on his face gradually turned serious.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the pitch-black night sky outside, and after a while he smiled inexplicably and said: "The emperor was deeply affected by the death of his son in old age, and this time he was hit hard, and his suspicions will be even worse. From then on, his sons had no choice. In order to check and balance the prince and ensure that he was still at the peak of absolute power before his death, he had to bring someone out from his grandchildren. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see, the prince of Nanhe is about to stand out.”

Li Wei has followed Feng Liancheng since he was a teenager, and he is also well versed in the tricks that the emperor often plays in the royal family.

Based on Chu Pei's personality, what Feng Liancheng said is absolutely possible.

"But looking at him like that, I'm afraid he won't live long!" Li Wei said thoughtfully.

"It's none of our business." Feng Liancheng smiled slightly, "Let's go, let's go and have a look too!"

"Yes!" Li Wei agreed, followed his steps and walked out. After taking two steps, he still couldn't help worrying, "Your Highness, the young prince Jian entered the palace through the identity of Guisan, and when he turns back, the Emperor Xiyue will investigate—— "

"The palace was in such a mess just now, who would know that it was him?" Feng Liancheng said, but he didn't care at all, "While there is still time, you can find another Guisan to come out!"

Although this method is not safe enough, it is the best method available now.

Li Wei agreed and left quickly.

Only then did Feng Liancheng smile slightly, and slowly wandered out of Jiaotai Hall leisurely.

Because Chu Yijian left and returned, the whole palace became a mess again.

The Yulin Army made great fanfare and tracked down every inch of the floor.

However, he was too familiar with the terrain of the palace, he only turned out from the back window of Jiaotai Hall, and then disappeared completely.

The emperor didn't dare to take it lightly at the moment, and took a large number of hidden guards to protect him, watching the imperial forest army search the palace in the imperial garden.

The whole palace was full of turmoil, and it was not like it was going on.

All the concubines locked their doors behind closed doors, not daring to show their heads, for fear that someone would be unlucky and lose their lives.

Chu Xinrui came out of the Jiaotai Hall, taking advantage of the chaos, retreated from the crowd, dodged and hid behind the stone lion next to her, and when the crowd was far away, she immediately turned around and went straight to the emperor's bedroom up.

She walked very quickly along the way, and when she hurried over, what she saw in the distance was still the scene of flames soaring into the sky.

The fire guards fought for two hours, but they couldn't extinguish it anyway. In addition, the wind was a bit strong at night, and the fire spread, and even the other two side halls next to it were also drawn into the sea of ​​flames.

She didn't know why she came here, but she was attracted by something intuitively, and she always felt that Chu Yijian might appear here.

She stumbled along the periphery of the fire scene, looking around vigilantly, and when she was nervous, she was suddenly pulled behind the bushes and her mouth was covered.

Chu Xinrui wanted to scream subconsciously, but the bloody smell that wafted from the man's palm made her terrified.

But at the next moment, she felt relaxed all over, and tears rolled out by herself.

The person behind him seemed to be exhausted, so he just gave her a hand, and then fell to the ground weakly.

Chu Xinrui fell down with him, got up, and didn't care about the darkness here, and couldn't tell the face of the person, turned around and hugged the person's head in her arms, suppressing her mournful voice: " Fifth brother!"

Chu Yijian's body was originally thin, and after being slapped by the dark guard, he couldn't hold it anymore.

He didn't resist either, and just let Chu Xinrui hold her in his arms.

Chu Xinrui's tears kept rolling down, but she didn't dare to cry loudly, so she just repeated over and over again: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault!"

If she hadn't been eager for quick success and made the emperor suspicious during the palace change, Chu Yijian would not have been forced to such a point of doing it desperately.

Later, if she hadn't insisted on going her own way and killed Chu Xunyang in order to vent her personal anger, she wouldn't have cut off all the back roads for her brother.

As long as the emperor is dead, Chu Yi'an will benefit, and maybe he won't pursue them fiercely.

But now-

If she moved Chu Xunyang, she would really have killed herself.

At this moment, Chu Xinrui's mood can only be described in four words——

Sorry for the first time!

Chu Yijian didn't have the strength to deal with her, so she rested on her leg for a while before finally regaining some strength.

"Heh——" He smiled hoarsely, mocking himself and being powerless, but he was no longer unwilling or resentful, "I will do it again, but in the end I still failed, probably this is also God's will, God's will calls everyone in the Chu family Everything is in his hands, and I am no exception."

"Fifth brother, don't say that, we still have a chance." Chu Xinrui said, holding him in tears, "You are injured, don't talk, when your injury heals, we will return to you." If you have a chance, you can do it all over again!"

"There's no chance." Chu Yijian shook his head, propped himself up and sat up.

In the darkness, the two faced each other silently, but neither could see the other's face or eyes.

Chu Xinrui burst into tears.

Chu Yijian groped and raised her hand to caress her eye sockets, and gently wiped away the water marks at the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.

His voice was very soft, with the appearance of warmth for many years, and he said softly and slowly one by one: "Rui Rui, do you blame Fifth Brother? I actually lied to you back then, and you walked up the road with me. This road, this is a desperate situation with no retreat from the very beginning. I keep accusing Chu Pei of being selfish and cold-blooded. In fact, if I really want to say it, I might as well give way compared to him. You should have it in this life I lived a peaceful life, but I personally buried you."
