Concubine's true colors

Chapter 124 The big fish takes the bait
On the Yangchang path leading from Guanyinyuan to the foot of the mountain, two fine horses were walking along the road at a moderate speed, and the riders were Ji Lingfeng and Huai'an Marquis Qian Ming.

Seeing that the path ahead became more rugged and difficult, Qian Ming couldn't help but see a flash of impatience in his eyes.

"Young master Ji, why do you want to persuade me to take this small road instead of taking the main road? If we take the main road, we would have reached the foot of the mountain long ago."

After some persuasion from Ji Lingfeng just now, Qian Ming obeyed the arrangement and left the Guanyin Temple quickly. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he returned directly to Chengping City without even taking the accompanying people back with him.

Ji Lingfeng stood on the horse in a snow-white gown, frowned upon hearing this, and said softly:
"Master Hou, don't you know that there is a saying, "Be careful sailing for ten thousand years?" Xiao Jinxuan thought carefully, we left the Guanyin Temple so easily, Ji always felt uneasy in his heart, so he abandoned the eye-catching Take your time and take this little road that is not easy to be noticed."

Hou Huai'an chuckled, his expression full of disdain.

"Ji Lingfeng, what did you ask Ben Hou to say about you? A little girl actually frightened you like this. Even if it is as you said, she does have some schemes, but after all, she is a powerless concubine. We have left Guanyin now. Courtyard, what else can she do to me."

Nodding his head, Ji Lingfeng felt that Qian Ming's words were not unreasonable, but he still didn't let go of the uneasiness in his heart.

Because based on what he knew about Xiao Jinxuan, this Fourth Miss was definitely a fox hunter who would not let go of its prey, but this time the other party was willing to let Qian Ming leave safely, which was really abnormal.

Seeing that Qian Ming had relaxed his vigilance now, Ji Lingfeng inevitably wanted to give him some advice.

"Master Hou, the reason why I advise you to leave the Guanyin Temple immediately is because, if Ji's guess is correct, Xiao Jinxuan is afraid that she will attack Princess Huayang. If it is really going to be dragged down, then the prince will have a chance to stand up."

When Qian Ming heard this, he was very surprised, and said in disbelief:

"Master Ji, my wife is a princess. I heard that the princess was injured because of an accident. Don't you suspect that apart from Xiao Jinxuan who was behind the murder last night, even the princess was injured by the other party. From that moment on, she All this was done just to attract me."

I heard from Ji Lingfeng before that Lianxin's death was caused by Xiao Jinxuan in order to drive a wedge between him and Huayang, and bring troubles to the Qian family, thus forcing him to stay in Guanyinyuan to preside over the overall situation.

But now, the accidental injury caused by Princess Huayang seems to have nothing to do with Xiao Jinxuan. Qian Ming really can't imagine how this little girl is so courageous and vicious.

But this time, Ji Lingfeng shook his head, then thought for a while and said cautiously:

"What happened last night must have something to do with Xiao Jinxuan, and it was really to hold you back, but for the princess's injury, I think if Xiao Jinxuan did it, it might not be because of personal grievances. After all, your wife, the princess, has made things difficult for Xiao Jinxuan a lot during this time, and according to what I know about her, if there is no exception for Princess Huayang, she will not feel at ease."

Seeing Ji Lingfeng's analysis made sense, Qian Ming's eyes flashed with hesitation.

Because according to the meaning of the other party's words, Huayang's life is in danger now, if he doesn't go back to rescue him, maybe he will really die at the hands of Xiao Jinxuan.

But after thinking about it, Qian Ming felt that this might also be an opportunity, an excellent opportunity for him to get rid of Huayang!

This jealous princess has long since made him intolerable. If he can get rid of this princess's wife with the help of others, Qian Ming's heart will be filled with anticipation.

So Huai'anhou knew that Huayang was in trouble, but chose to remain silent, and followed Ji Lingfeng without a moment's delay, and continued on his way down the mountain.

But just after the two of them walked for another half a quarter of an hour, a team of more than 20 people appeared on the rough and empty path.And it was Zhou Xianrui who rode in the front on horseback.

As soon as he saw the figure of Prince Rui appearing, Ji Lingfeng murmured inwardly that it was bad, and after only seeing each other, he immediately turned his horse's head and prepared to take Marquis Huai'an to retreat the same way and quickly avoid Zhou Xianrui.

But before they could take a few steps on horseback, the way they came was also stopped by a dozen people wearing the uniforms of Prince Rui's residence guards.

And in just a short while, Zhou Xianrui had already driven his horse to the front.

"Hou Huai'an, Young Master Ji, why didn't you even say hello when you saw this king, and turned around to leave. It seems that the two of you have really been with Prince Tai for a long time. I'm afraid it's hard for an ordinary prince like me to enter the second class." It's a good eye."

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Ji Lingfeng knew that Zhou Xianrui was definitely coming from a bad place, so he drove forward and protected Marquis Huai'an behind him, and then he said with a polite smile:

"Your Highness was joking. It's just that I was too far away just now. When I saw a group of people rushing out, Ji thought he had encountered a bandit from the green forest, so he didn't care to take a closer look, turned around and drove away. After all, who would have thought that such a In a remote place, the prince will show up with people, and now that Li has seen it, please make way for His Highness, so that Lord Hou and I can leave."

While speaking, Ji Lingfeng had a smile on his face, but his hand was already on the saber, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became dignified.

But Zhou Xianrui didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere, instead he drove his horse around Ji Lingfeng and came to Qian Ming's side with a solemn expression.

"Master Hou has been the busiest person in the capital recently, but I have something to remind you that although the capable ones work harder, you must be clear about who you are working for, or you will end up in the end." Not only will it be a waste of time, I am afraid that I will lose my wife and lose my army, that would be bad."

Facing Zhou Xianrui's indifferent eyes, Qian Ming's heart trembled, this Prince Rui was very much loved by the common people even though he was called a virtuous king among the people.

But in the imperial court, his upright and iron-blooded style made all civil and military officials terrified, and now being warned face to face by this Prince Rui, even though Qian Ming himself is also a Marquis, he still couldn't bear it. I broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Qian Ming's apparent powerlessness, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help worrying inwardly, fearing that Huai'an Hou, who had a sloppy personality, would not be able to withstand the pressure and directly compromise and confess the whereabouts of the witnesses, so how would he explain to the Prince of Thailand.

Therefore, Ji Lingfeng hurried forward and completely blocked Zhou Xianrui's gaze towards Qian Ming, preventing the other party from having any chance to exert pressure.

The voice also said with a bit of coldness: "Your Highness, I have already said hello now, Lord Hou and I should be able to leave now, you are leading people to surround us here now, we know that we are greeting each other, I don't know People thought that you brought your private soldiers and openly besieged the general and marquis, if this spreads, it is estimated that the Holy Majesty will also intervene in today's matter."

But this time, before Zhou Xianrui could speak, he suddenly saw the direction of Guanyinyuan coming, and about five or six people had already rushed forward on horseback.

As for the leader, Ji Lingfeng also recognized that it was Wen Xin who was beside Xiao Jinxuan, and the dozen or so people who followed him were all the guards of the eighth princess from the point of view of their service.

Wen Xin came to him, got off his horse and greeted Zhou Xianrui, then turned around with a sneer and looked at Marquis Huai'an.

"Master Ji, this innocent person really shouldn't be surrounded, but if he committed a homicide, it's a different matter. Fortunately, His Highness Prince Rui happened to stop the two of you today, otherwise the murder of Hua The real murderer of Princess Yang is about to run away."

Wen Xin's words really stirred up waves, especially Marquis Huai'an, who almost fell off his horse without being shocked.

Just now Ji Lingfeng told him that Xiao Jinxuan might be detrimental to Huayang, but he didn't even have a stick of incense, and the other party's words came true, and what Wen Xin said meant that this murderous finger It seemed to be him, Huai Anhou felt that his blood was about to freeze.

So I saw him stare, pointing at Wenxin and shouting sharply:

"Where did the dog slave come from, what nonsense, I went to see the princess an hour ago, the lady is still fine, why did she die in a short time. Besides, I have left the Guanyin Temple now, Even if the princess makes any mistake, it has nothing to do with this marquis."

Seeing that after Huai Anhou said this, he was so anxious that he wanted to ride his horse away, how could Wenxin make him wish, and immediately grabbed the rein of the other party.

"If Lord Hou was not guilty, why did he leave quietly? The Eighth Princess went to visit Princess Huayang just now, only to find that Her Highness the Princess had died tragically in her room. According to the doctor's diagnosis, the Princess died within an hour. Before the princess was alive, many people testified that the last person she saw was Huai'an waiting for you, so the eighth princess ordered me to bring the guards to take Lord Hou back to the courtyard. After all, you are the most suspected person now, and you haven't figured out the truth Before, the princess ordered that no one should leave the Guanyin Temple."

Seeing Wen Xin's words are convincing, Huai'an Hou had to believe it even if he thought it was a fraud just now, and his wife, the princess, is probably dead, and he is still inexplicable now. , became the number one suspect in killing the princess.

Ji Lingfeng on the side had a very ugly face, because until then, he finally figured out why Xiao Jinxuan let them leave Guanyin Temple so easily.

The other party was unable to stop them because they had no power or power, they were clearly waiting for them to leave on their own, and then charged Huai Anhou with the charge of absconding in fear of crime.

At this moment, Ji Lingfeng wished he could slap himself twice, it was not the first time he had confronted this woman, why did he underestimate her courage and ambition in the end.

Until now, Ji Lingfeng has figured out all the things that he couldn't understand before. Originally, he had indeed guessed that Xiao Jinxuan would not let Huayang go, and would use him to contain Huai'anhou.

But what he didn't expect was that the real goal of Miss Xiao Si from the beginning to the end was not Hua Yang at all, or Hua Yang's death was just a small prey that the other party solved casually, which Xiao Jinxuan really wanted to deal with , in fact, it is Qian Ming, Marquis of Huai'an!
It's ridiculous that before, he really thought that the other party just wanted to hold back Qian Ming's footsteps, but now he knows that what Xiao Jinxuan really wants is the life of Qian Ming, Marquis of Huai'an!
