Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 181
"I will see my father!" Jiao Jingyao said respectfully, but his tone was alienated and cold.

Jiao Jincheng turned around, looked at Jiao Jingyao, and said with a smile, "You are here." His tone was unprecedentedly gentle, as if standing in front of him was not Jiao Jingyao, but his mother, his beloved woman.

Jiao Jingyao was slightly stunned. In his memory, only when he was very young, his father used to speak to him in such a gentle tone. Now more than 20 years have passed, when he heard such words again At that time, he felt very uncomfortable, and felt that the more gentle he was, the more huge conspiracy was waiting for him.Soon he recovered his normal color, and asked angrily: "Father, why, why did you do this?"

Jiao Jincheng lowered his face and said seriously: "Prince Yong, do you know who you are talking to?"

As he said that, Jiao Jincheng waved to Han Ming and Eunuch Han who was standing aside, signaling him to back down. Even the closest relative's servant cannot know some things.

Eunuch Han understood, saluted and withdrew.

"Father, you promised your minister before that you would not do anything to Su Mei, but now, you have colluded with outsiders and kidnapped the auspicious princess you personally conferred. Don't you think this is also beating yourself Face?" Jiao Jingyao said without fear, leaving no sympathy for his father.

"Presumptuous! Father did this for your own good, for."

However, before Jiao Jincheng finished speaking, Jiao Jingyao interrupted him and said, "Father, if you are really doing it for the good of my son, then please don't interfere with my son's affairs, my son has already promised you When you return to the imperial court to serve, please ask your father to keep his word!"

He said that with him around, he would never let anyone hurt Su Mei, but now, he can't do anything, and the person who pushed Su Mei to the forefront was his father.He didn't know if Shang Junyuan knew her identity, but it was a terrible thing for Su Mei to be alone with him.

"Presumptuous!" Jiao Jincheng couldn't bear it anymore, he slammed the table and said coldly, "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

"Father, please keep your word!" Jiao Jingyao kowtowed again on his knees and said, for Su Mei, he was willing to do this, even though he knew that his father would not agree.

Jiao Jincheng trembled slightly, he felt his lungs were going to explode, he knew Jiao Jingyao's feelings for her, that's why he pushed her out, hoping to take back his heart by doing so, but now It seems that there is no effect.

Thinking of this, Jiao Jincheng coughed violently.

Jiao Jingyao didn't expect Jiao Jincheng to cough suddenly. He remembered that his father, the emperor, had always been in good health and had no symptoms.

"Father, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that he was coughing, Jiao Jingyao asked with concern.

"Noon is fine, it's just an old problem, just rest for a while." Jiao Jincheng waved his hand, and then sat down on the chair.Looking at the concerned expression on Jiao Jingyao's face, he knew that his Yao'er cared about him and cared about him, and he could take advantage of this. It seemed that it was impossible not to make some serious news.

Jiao Jingyao couldn't help lowering his tone, and said, "Father, Su Mei is just a weak woman. She just wants to live a peaceful life, so I ask Father to hold you up!"

"Weak woman?" Jiao Jincheng smiled lightly, and continued, "Do you know that the weak woman you are talking about is Princess Chaohua who fell off the cliff before Longyu Kingdom?"

Jiao Jingyao raised his head in astonishment, shocked by what Jiao Jincheng said.

Looking at Jiao Jingyao's shocked expression, Jiao Jincheng mistakenly thought that Jiao Jingyao didn't know anything, so he smiled coldly and said, "Yao'er, this Princess Chaohua is the fourth prince of Shanghuang Kingdom, who is today's King Qi's fiancée married someone else just because of the cliff, and now, it is only natural for him to take her away. I am the king of a country, what is there that I don't know?" Jiao Jincheng stood up, and then said : "You go back first, I will treat today's incident as never happened, don't worry, I will not reveal the true identity of Princess Xiangrui, let alone the news that Princess Xiangrui has gone to Shanghuang Kingdom Announce it."

"Father, I don't care what Su Mei's status is, since she is my adopted sister, she is a member of my country. I will never allow anyone to hurt her!"

After finishing speaking, Jiao Jingyao got up and strode out of the hall.Unexpectedly, Shang Junyuan actually knew the identity of the younger sister, so that night, the black shadow I saw in the younger sister's courtyard was undoubtedly Shang Junyuan. Thinking of this, Jiao Jingyao quickened his pace.

Looking at the back of Jiao Jingyao leaving, Jiao Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in a cold voice: "No name!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wuming quickly jumped off the beam and said humbly.

"Follow Prince Yong, if he moves, bring him back immediately!"

"Yes."

Based on his understanding of Jiao Jingyao, he believed that Jiao Jingyao would sneak out of the city and go to Shanghuang Country to meet Su Mei, and he couldn't let him leave no matter what, he had a premonition that as long as he left , he may lose his son forever.And for such a thing, he will never allow it to happen.

Coming out of the palace, Jiao Jingyao ran wildly all the way, the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, he could only put it all in that gallop, maybe in this way, his emotions could be relieved.

Jiao Jingyao, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't notice at all. Not far behind him, there was a black shadow following him closely, and there was a look in those dark eyes that others could not understand.

Jiao Jingyao didn't go back to the palace, but rode his horse to the western suburbs, the wind whizzed past his ears, blowing away all the noise, as if he was the only one in the whole world.

The horse was probably tired, and gradually slowed down, and finally stopped by the river bank.

Jiao Jingyao came back to his senses, Hao Ran found that this place was so familiar, and he remembered after careful consideration that he had brought Su Mei here not long ago, and his friend Yuan Jun was also with him. .

Jiao Jingyao sighed, patted the horse's back lightly, and said, "Ma'er, although you are a livestock, you never expected to remember the way you came here."

As he spoke, he led the horse under a big tree, tied the horse rope, and then walked to the river, bent down and squatted down, stretched out his hands to hold a handful of river water, and gently washed away the dirt on his face. dust.

When the icy river water brushed across his cheeks, he shivered violently.It is already autumn, even though the temperature is still not low, but obviously, the water is already icy cold.

He shook off the water drops in his hands, simply sat on the grass, and quietly looked at his own reflection in the river.

Seeing Jiao Jingyao's sluggish expression, Wuming, who had been hiding in the tree, couldn't help frowning. In his impression, the Seventh Prince has always been a heroic and righteous person, how could he become so sentimental?
But at this time, a snake suddenly appeared on the branch where Wuming was standing, standing upright and looking at Wuming, with a long letter spitting out from its mouth, looking very vicious.

Wuming is a master of martial arts and has never been afraid of these things, but seeing the snake getting closer and closer, Wuming couldn't help getting goose bumps and shivering.

Snakes never take the initiative to attack inanimate things. Suddenly, Wuming remembered the teachings of his old master.Thinking of this, he tried his best to adjust his breathing and try to stabilize his emotions. In order not to expose himself, he had to try. He held his breath and kept a standing posture, motionless.

Sure enough, the snake stopped wriggling, but stood there, quietly observing the person in front of it. It also seemed to feel that the person opposite was not a living thing, but a branch growing on a branch. It observed for a while Son, seemed to feel bored, and finally lost patience, turned the snake's head around, twisted his body and left.

Seeing this situation, Wuming let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed.The situation just now was very dangerous. If the snake really attacked, then he would definitely draw his sword to fight back, and he would be exposed without a doubt, and he would even face the danger of being bitten by the snake.

Wuming raised his hand to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but unexpectedly touched the branch above his head. Maybe he was too nervous, or maybe he used too much force, and only heard a "click", and the branch was broken.

Jiao Jingyao, who was sitting on the bank of the river, heard the sound, and immediately turned around, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking around vigilantly, and shouted coldly, "Who?"

Jiao Jingyao tensed his nerves and looked towards the east seriously. He could conclude that the voice just now came from the trees in the east.

Wuming secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, the emperor just asked him to follow Prince Yong, and stopped him when he had abnormal behavior, but he did not appear in this way today, and he must not be found at this moment, but right now When he was about to stay on the branch, the snake just turned back for no reason. Seeing that the snake was about to come to him, he turned around quickly, raised his breath, and flew down the tree. Covering his ears, he got on his horse and galloped eastward.

Wuming's speed was too fast, Jiao Jingyao only saw a black shadow flying down from the tree quickly, and quickly sank into the woods.

He immediately got up and got on his horse, and when he ran over, where could he see a shadow of a person?In the dense forest, there is nothing but green trees or green trees.

Jiao Jingyao narrowed his eyes slightly, and unconsciously clenched his hand holding the long sword.

Who is this person?Why did you follow the king so far?And the martial arts are so superb, this king didn't realize it.

Jiao Jingyao looked down at the branch that fell on the ground, and his eyes narrowed slightly. If it weren't for the sound of the branch breaking, he might still be in the dark.

Jiao Jingyao raised his eyes to look at the sky, and flicked the whip suddenly. The horse suffered from pain, and ran away towards the way it came.

There was only one thought in his mind, that is, since he asked his father for ten days of leave, what's the point of taking more?He had to go to Shanghuang Country, and he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, as if Su Mei left forever, and he might never see Su Mei again in his life.

"Drive!" Jiao Jingyao clamped the horse's belly with his legs and accelerated his running speed.

Prince Yongfu.

"Woo!" Jiao Jingyao reined in the reins, jumped off the horse lightly, handed the reins to the guard at the door, and then walked quickly towards the mansion.

He had to explain some things in person, even if he was going to Shanghuang country, he had to be prepared.

Ling He has been guarding Prince Yong's Mansion, waiting anxiously in the hall, and Ling Lan was also sent back by Jiao Jingyao after returning to Kangzhou City, and now she is also in the front hall, waiting for Jiao Jingyao's return.

"My lord!" The two of them saluted respectfully as soon as they saw Jiao Jingyao walking into the front hall.

"Well, get up." Jiao Jingyao came to the main seat and sat down, and said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, my lord." As they spoke, the two stood on both sides. In the mansion, although Ling He was the housekeeper, he was also a member of the hidden guards.

"Linghe, what happened when the king was not in the mansion?" Jiao Jingyao asked with frowned eyebrows.

"Reporting to the prince, when you were not in the mansion, everything was normal and no one came."

"Yeah." Jiao Jingyao nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "How about the posthouse?"
