Chapter 712 The Assassin and the Princess
Han Mang retracted.
But the sword was still pointing at Luo Qingzhou's throat, the cold piercing his skin!
Luo Qingzhou stabilized the turbulent internal strength and blood in his body.
He raised his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was thinking about whether to return to the ground again, Yue Wu's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness, Yuan Zhong, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, has come and said that there are assassins in the palace." , I don’t know if he escaped here. For the safety of His Highness, he hopes that His Highness will allow him to bring people in to search. Also, he hopes that His Highness can temporarily put away the underground formation. Their people are already underground, and they want to go Search the underground here."
Nangong Huoyue's gaze was fixed on the masked figure in front of her, and she said calmly, "Let him go."
"yes!"
Yue Wu immediately turned around and went out.
Not long after, she came back and replied: "They have retreated to a distance and are guarding outside, saying that they are to protect the safety of His Highness."
Nangong Huoyue didn't speak any more, but still stared at the motionless figure kneeling on one knee in front of her with her head lowered. Then she reached out and pulled off the red belt from the screen beside her, and tied it slowly in Yingying's grasp. slender waist.
After finishing all this, she glanced at the figure again, then turned around, and with a pair of bare snow-white slender feet, stepped on the velvet blanket, walked to the table next to her, and sat down.
Then he picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine, and tasted it slowly.
In the room, there was silence.
Luo Qingzhou knelt on the ground with one knee, his throat pressed against the point of the sword, no expression could be seen on his masked face, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he also said nothing.
Long time.
Nangong Huoyuefang put down his wine glass, looked at him again, and said in a calm tone, "Did you see Bengong's body?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and remained silent.
The tip of the sword that was at his throat suddenly pierced into his skin with force.
A drop of blood overflowed along the tip of the sword.
Luo Qingzhou still didn't speak.
Nangong Huoyue picked up the jug, poured another glass of wine, and said, "Tell me, why did you appear here."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, and said: "I am wandering around the ground at will, and those who inadvertently broke into this place did not intend to offend, nor did they have any intentions."
Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "But people outside say that you are an assassin."
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said: "I will never dare to assassinate...you."
Nangong Huoyue said: "Oh? Do you know me?"
Luo Qingzhou respectfully said: "As a Dayan person, who doesn't know about my Dayan Heavenly Lady?"
Nangong Huoyue stared at the mask on his face for a while, and ordered: "Take off the mask on his face."
Without waiting for Luo Qingzhou to do it himself, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, and took off the black tiger mask on his face.
After being wounded by the old eunuch, his disguise technique has expired.
Now he has returned to his original body shape and Chu Feiyang's appearance.
He still lowered his head, his eyes fixed, his face full of respect.
Nangong Huoyue ordered again majesticly: "Raise your head and look at me."
Luo Qingzhou slowly raised his head and looked at her.
The two looked at each other.
Nangong Huoyue's face was majestic and cold, and she said indifferently: "Chu Feiyang, you entered the palace late at night, not to assassinate, but why?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, and said: "It has nothing to do with His Highness."
"Shua!"
The tip of the sword at the neck touched his throat again.
Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows, and said: "Oh? Is it really not related to me? I thought you came here specifically to find me. After all, that day, you defended me in the palace and said something so impassioned. if."
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head in silence.
Nangong Huoyue ordered again in a cold voice: "Raise your head and look at Bengong. You are not allowed to bow your head until Bengong tells you to bow your head."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to raise his head again and look at her.
Nangong Huoyue stared at him majesticly and indifferently for a while, then Fang picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
A wisp of wine flowed down the corner of her red lips, then slid down her snow-white long neck, landed on her white and perfect collarbone, and continued down...
Luo Qingzhou lowered his eyes.
Nangong Huoyue put down her wine glass, looked at him and said, "Ask you again, did you see Bengong's body when you came out of the ground just now?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, lowered his eyes and said: "There is fog by the pool, I did see His Highness getting up from the bath, but I didn't see clearly."
Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "That's what I saw."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say any more.
Nangong Huoyue said indifferently: "Tell me, how are you going to explain to me?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "What does Your Highness want to explain?"
Nangong Huoyue stared into his eyes, and said coldly: "Gouging out your own eyes, or cutting off your tongue, you choose one."
Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly, and slowly clenched the Jade Mouse in his hand.
Just as he was preparing to accumulate strength and go underground, Nangong Huoyue suddenly said coldly: "You can't escape, and no one in the ground arrests you? Only here in this palace can you survive. Only this palace can Get out of here safe and sound."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Your Highness, I don't want to harm myself. If Your Highness needs help with other things, I will definitely agree."
Nangong Huoyue seemed to think about it for a while, and said, "Any other things?"
After a pause, she looked at him again and said, "I haven't thought of it yet. After you look at Bengong's body, what do you think can make Bengong stop pursuing it? As Bengong, what can I need?" Do you help?"
When Luo Qingzhou didn't know how to answer, she said lightly: "Chu Feiyang, for the sake of protecting my palace in the hall, I can give you another choice without self-harm. However, for the time being, this palace I haven't thought of anything yet, but you need to agree to Ben Gong now, no matter what Ben Gong asks you to do in the future, you can't refuse."
"Of course, I will never let you hurt innocent people, let alone do heinous things."
Luo Qingzhou thought about it carefully, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Your Highness, I am willing to serve Your Highness."
Nangong Huoyue's eyes flashed with light, and said: "There is no evidence for words, but written evidence!"
As soon as the words were finished, Yue Wu had already brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread out the rice paper on the table, and grinded the ink herself.
Nangong Huoyue picked up a pen, wrote a paragraph on the rice paper, and said: "Come here, copy it, sign your name, press your handprint, and drip your blood."
Luo Qingzhou paused, got up from the ground, walked to the table, stared at the words on it carefully several times, Fang took the pen, transcribed it in another handwriting, and signed his name again.
Immediately, according to the fingerprint, wiped the blood on the neck, and pressed it on it.
Nangong Huoyue picked up the rice paper, looked at it carefully for a while, then put it back on the table, looked at him and said, "In that case, I will spare you today. But, Chu Feiyang, if you don't know what happened tonight If it gets out, you should know what the consequences will be."
Luo Qingzhou immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will never dare to spread the matter of today. If there is any rumor, the heavens... will die!"
Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you dare say that the sky is struck by lightning?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, and said again: "If there are rumors, it will be struck by lightning!"
Nangong Huoyue said again: "One more thing, cut off children and grandchildren."
The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he had to say again: "If there are rumors, the sky will be struck by lightning, and the sons and grandchildren will be cut off!"
Nangong Huoyue nodded in satisfaction. Just as she was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is coming. Li Zhong and Eunuch Li are following behind."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Huoyue focused her eyes, pondered for a while, looked at the young man in front of her and said, "Li Zhong is a master master, it's too late for you to go out at this time. As for the underground, let alone go."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head and glanced at the bathtub, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Hide in the water, remember, don't emit any breath, don't make any slightest movement."
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately entered the bath, sank to the bottom of the water, held his breath, performed the breathing technique, stuck to the bottom of the water, and remained motionless.
Nangong Huoyue looked at the petals on the water gradually returning to calm, put away the things on the table again, and then said indifferently: "Tell the queen mother that I am taking a bath, and let her come in alone."
"yes."
Moon Shadow and Moon Dance both retreated.
Not long after, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he said in panic: "Huoyue, are you okay? There was an assassin in the palace just now, and the assassin suddenly appeared in your emperor's bedroom. Eunuch Li happened to come out of retreat and found out, I'm afraid your imperial brother... Hey, I don't know how that assassin sneaked in there, and there is only a wall between you and your imperial brother. Until now, the queen mother is still scared."
The empress dowager was wearing a purple dress, and she hadn't had time to put on the headgear yet. She obviously got up in a hurry, with a lingering fear on her face.
Nangong Huoyue still sat at the table, looked at her indifferently and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, there are so many masters in the palace, the assassin will definitely be caught."
The queen mother came to her side, held her hand and said, "Huoyue, you don't know, that assassin is very scary, there are so many guards outside, and there are many formations underground, he even sneaked in quietly Now the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Yiwei are dispatched, but they can't find him, and they don't know where he hid. The queen mother is worried about you, afraid that the assassin will come here."
Nangong Huoyue still looked at her indifferently and said: "Is the queen mother concerned about me and came here to accompany me, or did she suspect that the assassin is hiding here, so she brought Eunuch Li to search?"
As soon as the words came out, the expression on the Empress Dowager's face froze for a moment, and she quickly said: "Huoyue, what did you say, why would the empress doubt you? The empress is just worried about you, so she came to take a look. That assassin is very scary , If you accidentally sneak in, and your guards don't find it, it will be dangerous. That's why the mother brought Eunuch Li over to look for it and help you find it. Huoyue, you can't hurt the mother's heart. "
Nangong Huoyue lowered her head slightly, stroking the wine glass in her hand, without any waves on her face, but in her tone, there was a trace of self-mockery and desolation: "Mother, you can doubt me about anything, but...he is my younger brother, with the same father and the same father. My mother's younger brother, even if I, Nangong Huoyue, are cold-blooded and ruthless, I will never do anything to hurt him. Don't you think I have any humanity?"
The queen mother held her hand tightly, looked at her lovingly and said: "Huoyue, the queen mother really didn't suspect you, it's just... that assassin is very dangerous, the queen mother is just worried about you. You are obedient, let them search your palace For a moment, there is still the ground, so that the queen mother can feel at ease, okay?"
Then he hurriedly said: "Huoyue, don't worry, except for Eunuch Li, all the guards are searched, and they will never touch anything of yours. As for your boudoir, no one will dare to enter."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a while, and Fang said: "Since the queen mother has spoken, let them search."
Immediately ordered to the outside: "Yueying, temporarily put away the underground formation."
"Yes, Your Highness."
There was a promise from outside.
The queen mother heard the words, and immediately ordered to the outside: "Go."
There were no footsteps outside, but a few strange breaths left quickly.
The Queen Mother looked at the bathroom.
Nangong Huoyue picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine, and tasted it slowly with a calm face.
"Huoyue, did you just take a shower? What kind of petals did you use? It smells so good."
The Empress Dowager stood up, walked towards the bathtub while talking, and looked inside.
Nangong Huoyue sat at the table and said indifferently: "The queen mother sent it last time."
The Empress Dowager stood by the pool, stared at the pool for a while, raised her head, glanced at other places in the room, then returned to the table, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager still has some fresh ones, if you I like it, my mother will send it to you tomorrow."
Nangong Huoyue drank the wine and said lightly: "I don't like it."
The queen mother paused, then smiled again: "By the way, Huo Yue, the queen mother has already told your uncles and uncles about your selection of a son-in-law, and they don't have any objections. We discussed it carefully and decided to hold a meeting on the first day of the new year. When the time comes, I will go to propose marriage. Your uncles will go in person, and your sisters and sisters will go together. You can just wait in the palace and don’t have to worry about anything. As for the son-in-law you chose... "
"Mother Queen."
Nangong Huoyue suddenly interrupted her, saying: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest, I'm tired too."
The queen mother was about to speak, when the voice of Changsun Wan'er suddenly came from outside: "Queen mother, they have searched the place of the eldest princess, the underground and the ground, but they did not find the assassin."
The queen mother stroked her chest when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Huoyue, it's okay, the assassin didn't sneak in here, so the queen mother can rest assured. Since you are tired, go to rest early, there are guards outside, you Don't worry too much. The queen mother will go back first."
Nangong Huoyue lowered her head slightly, looked at the wine in the glass, but did not speak.
The queen mother glanced at her again, and Fang dragged her long skirt to leave.
At this time, an old eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Queen Mother, I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time. Back then, the late emperor asked me to teach His Highness how to practice kung fu. During those days, I was the happiest day for you... Please Allow the servant to stay here for a while, and let the servant talk to His Highness."
The queen mother paused, and said: "You can be regarded as Huo Yue's master, and you should see her."
After speaking, she left surrounded by maids and guards.
The old **** bowed his head and stood outside the door. After the queen mother came out, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, this old slave pays my respects."
Nangong Huoyue sat at the table, with waves in her eyes, and said lightly: "Eunuch Li, do you want to come in and talk?"
The old **** bowed his head outside the door and said: "I dare not. I stay here and just want to chat with His Highness. Although it may be a bit long-winded, but I don't want to see His Highness go further and further away. The late emperor is disappointed."
Nangong Huoyue remained silent and did not speak again.
