The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 872
This way, Chu Xunyang rushed back non-stop, and then followed the grand ceremony here the next day. She didn't have a good rest. Although Qingteng concealed it carefully for her, Chu Qifeng still At a glance, she could see the tiredness that was deliberately hidden on her face.

Seeing the obvious bloodshot eyes in her eyes, Chu Qifeng's calm and unwavering eyes slowly rippled a layer, and said: "Don't stay here, there is still an hour and a half before the banquet, you go find a place to rest first After a while, when the banquet starts, I will send someone to call you."

"There is no reliable person here to watch, so I don't worry!" Chu Xunyang smiled, "Today is my brother's big day, so I can't be sloppy at all, and it's rare for me to have a chance to show my courtesy to you, so don't worry about it, brother." I'm gone, go and do your work!"

"Could it be that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are full of wine bags and rice bags, and they wouldn't work without you watching?" Chu Qifeng didn't buy her account, and his eyes seemed to sweep the hall inadvertently.

This gaze cannot be said to be so sharp, but with such an attitude, it still made the eunuchs in charge who had been staring at this side and watching for signs in the palace to be extremely vigilant.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who is in charge here hurriedly walked over, prostrated himself in the tunnel, and said, "Everything here is the job of the slaves, and the slaves must do it properly, and they won't do anything wrong." What a problem. I don’t dare to bother Her Highness the Princess to ask, but please go to the harem to rest!”

Chu Yi'an didn't ascend the throne, even if he acknowledged the emperor's status in the handbook he sent back, it was somewhat off the mark.

Chu Xunyang knew that Chu Qifeng was trying to beat these slaves with an excuse to make them realize their duty. In addition, she was indeed very tired all the way back to Beijing. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't refuse. , I will go with my brother!"

Chu Qifeng was going to the Imperial Study Room, and she followed along, directly resting in the side hall next to the Imperial Study Room.

Because she was really tired, she fell asleep quickly after lying down for a while, and she didn't know how long it took, and when she woke up in a daze, it was already dark.

At this time, Chu Qifeng should have finished his work and went to the front.

Having had enough sleep, Chu Xunyang's energy improved a lot. Lai stretched out comfortably on the couch, and when he raised his arm, he felt a strange molecule in the air diffuse.

She was vigilant, but she was only stunned for a moment, then she bent her eyes, hooked her arms, put her arms around the neck of the person next to her, and said, "When did you come?"

"Heh——" Lord Yanling smiled, raised his hand to press her waist, and said, "Dare to hang it around someone's neck casually, aren't you afraid of hugging the wrong person?"

Chu Xunyang smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly saw a large area of ​​fire outside the hall, and a burst of noisy footsteps were quickly approaching.

What is this for?Caught in bed?
The flames were shining brightly outside, even through the window paper, they could clearly see all the furnishings in the palace.

Chu Xunyang let go of the hand hanging around Yanling Jun's neck, sat up straight, with a serious expression on his face.

Lord Yanling also frowned——

It has been an hour since he came here, and he avoided everyone very carefully, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be followed.

And even if these people wanted to take advantage of the two of them, why didn't they come sooner?Why did it take so long?
Is it really just to stop them?like--

It's a little bit unreasonable.

The two exchanged a tacit look, and Chu Xunyang nodded slightly and said, "You should avoid it first!"

This side hall has no back door.

When Lord Yanling stood up, he had already scanned the room with keen eyesight, and then with a boost of strength, he turned over and jumped onto the beam above his head.

This is the side hall of the imperial study room. It was originally built magnificently, and a beam was made of a hundred-year-old giant wood. Lord Yanling lay on his side, even if the people below looked up, he could not find him.

Chu Xunyang just sat on the couch without moving, waiting for people from outside to come in.

"Your Highness, please slow down, wait for the servant to hold the lamp for you." A servant said in a sharp voice, as if rushing to help Chu Qifeng while speaking, but Chu Qifeng pushed him away, shouting: "Get out of the way!" !"

There was fire light outside, and Chu Xunyang had already seen Chu Qifeng's shadow reflected on the door.

She took a deep breath, and just when she was about to get up, she suddenly heard a woman's voice covering her mouth in surprise, "Yeah——"

This sound, although short, seemed very abrupt.

The courtyard was so forced that the fire at the door suddenly turned in a different direction, and many people rushed towards the adjacent side hall. Only Chu Qifeng was worried about Chu Xunyang, so he pushed open the door without worrying about Chu Xunyang.

Chu Xunyang sat on the couch vigilantly, listening to the movement in the hall next to him, and was startled by the sound of Chu Qifeng pushing the door in, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes and turned over on the bed, and walked towards him.

"How? Are you okay?" Chu Qifeng asked, holding her arms with both hands, and quickly looked her up and down.

"I'm fine!" Chu Xunyang shook his head and looked behind him seriously.

On the square in front of the hall, hundreds of imperial guards came to guard them. Under the light of torches and lanterns, the entire square in front of the hall was illuminated as if it were daytime.

"Brother, what happened?" Chu Xunyang asked alertly.

"The banquet is going to be held ahead. I sent someone to call you, but the palace maid was found stabbed to death in the front garden." Chu Qifeng said in a very cold tone.

Since Chu Xunyang was fine, the expression on his face was extremely indifferent, he didn't seem to take it seriously, he just curled the corner of his lips coldly, and said in a mocking tone: "I thought someone was going to target you -"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xunyang had an epiphany——

If it wasn't aimed at her, then it should be aimed at someone else.

"Then—" Chu Xunyang sighed secretly, turned his head to look in the direction of the side hall, and gave Chu Qifeng a questioning look.

"Before, Feng Yi and Feng Liancheng came to the palace to congratulate me. Feng Yi was caught in the wind and cold, and his energy was low, so he rested in the next hall." Chu Qifeng said, so without delay, he and Chu Xunyang went back and forth Turn around and leave the main hall, and walk along the corridor to the adjacent side hall.

He came here directly from the banquet, because there was a murder case in the harem, so Chu Qiyan and the princes of several other palaces also followed.

It's just that at this moment, those people are all standing in the corridor with embarrassed expressions, with their backs facing the direction of the door behind them.

The servants and bodyguards who came with him all backed away, hiding far away under the corridor, lowering their heads vigorously, not to look at evil.
