After Marrying the Disabled Crown Prince of the Enemy Country

After returning to the Prince's Mansion from the secret passage, it was already late at night.

An Xuan was waiting outside the dormitory, and when he saw them coming back, he took a few steps forward and said, "His Royal Highness, someone is coming from the palace."

Hearing this, Le Zhi frowned slightly——

At this hour, Cui Feng came to the house, why?

But Huo Du's expression didn't change, as if he knew it. Le Zhi glanced at him suspiciously, and followed him to the front hall...

"See Your Highness, Concubine." Cui Feng was very polite. He was deeply impressed by the last decree. He must be careful about this Prince.

Huo Du responded lightly.

"It's really urgent for the old slave to disturb you late at night. The drought in Shengyang City was severe this year. Although the court has withdrawn a lot of relief funds, it has not improved in the slightest, and now there is violence and chaos in the city. By His Majesty's word, please His Royal Highness Prince. Go to Shengyang City tomorrow morning to quell the riot..."

Cui Feng paused slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Tomorrow morning?" Le Zhi was shocked.

- How can it be so sudden?

Hearing this, Cui Feng lowered his eyes and smiled, but he opened his mouth towards Huo Du, "There are some things that the old servant should not have said, but when the Crown Princess asked, the servant said more. This errand, His Majesty originally planned to let the Third Prince I went, but you also know what happened today... Now that the princes are still young, can I not make you work hard this time?"

After thinking about it again and again, Cui Feng still said it. An **** like him who has been immersed in the palace for most of his life, naturally knows the truth that disaster comes out of his mouth. However, from the day the third prince returned to the dynasty, he completely belonged to the queen's camp.

Although this was said by him, it was actually the Queen's behest.

With his hands hanging by his side and hidden in his sleeves tightly clenched, Le Zhi froze in place, unable to react for a while.

Now that the word of mouth has been passed, Cui Feng also bowed and retired.

"Cui Feng." Huo Du stopped him without raising his eyelids, "I knew I shouldn't say it, but I said it anyway..."

That is, looking for death.

He smiled and waved his hand: "Come here, send Eunuch Cui."

Cui Feng's brows twitched, his whole body trembled for no reason, and some inexplicable fear and remorse suddenly appeared in his heart. But the words have been exported, and the water is hard to collect. He frowned and followed the servant out of the mansion...

"Go, go back to the bedroom." Huo Du said slowly.

At this time, Le Zhi finally cleared his mind. She quickly stepped forward to stop him, looked straight into his lacquer eyes, and asked word by word: "Kouyu, Shengyang City, pacifying the riots...you expected these things early in the morning? "

Her voice trembled a little, but her eyes did not shift.

The lights in the Yongning Palace were brightly lit, but the empress, who should have been sleeping peacefully, were all neatly dressed, and there was no sign of sleepiness on their faces.

"The Queen is satisfied?" Huo Changyun said with a smile, but his tone was cold.

Lin Wanning knew she couldn't hide it from him, but she still pretended to be stupid and said, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? The concubine doesn't understand."

The stove in the bedroom was burning vigorously, and the silver filament carbon inside made a little noise. The refreshing fragrance of tranquility seems to be ineffective at this moment, and it is useless, unable to appease anyone's mind.

Standing beside the incense burner, Huo Changyun turned around and walked towards the beauty's couch—

Lin Wanning sat upright on the collapse.

He approached her, raised his hand and squeezed her chin, staring at her: "The queen has done so much, but because you don't believe me?"

With some strength between his fingers, he pinched out some red marks on the delicate skin. Lin Wanning frowned slightly, and said softly, "The concubine naturally believes in Your Majesty, it is Xu'er who disappointed His Majesty."

"Ah."

Huo Changyun heard the complaint hidden in her words, and then let go and laughed: "The queen thinks about it, since he returned, has he done something commendable?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanning pursed her lips sadly.

—Indeed, none of them.

"Now I still have the heart of being a minister, and I am being played in public." Huo Changyun said in a deep voice, "But even so, I still forgive him."

After a pause, he raised his eyes and continued: "The matter of Shengyang City, Cui Feng... Is the queen still pretending to be confused with me?"

Lin Wanning's eyes widened in disbelief. She was not surprised that Shengyang City was known to him. But to win over Cui Feng, she asked herself that she was doing everything without leakage. How did he know about it?

Huo Changyun admired her changing expression with satisfaction, he stretched out his right hand to hold her profile face, and lightly rubbed her cheek with the pulp of his thumb.

His hand was icy cold and touched his face, causing Lin Wanning to tremble uncontrollably.

Soon, he withdrew his hand, turned and walked outside the hall.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Wanning was so frightened by his actions tonight that she fell to her knees and asked tremblingly, "Since you already know, why did you let the prince go..."

Since you saw through my botched plan early in the morning, why did I push the boat as smoothly as I thought?

Huo Changyun paused slightly, but did not answer. After half a breath, he lifted his legs and left without hesitation.

Not long after Emperor Qi left, Mother Qin anxiously walked into the bedroom. After seeing Lin Wanning sitting in a daze, she ran over in shock and helped her up and sat on the collapsed.

"In this harsh winter, why is the empress sitting on the ground?"

Lin Wanning shook her head weakly. She caught a glimpse of Mother Qin's face and asked, "What happened?"

"If you go back to the Empress, Eunuch Cui went to the Prince's Mansion to pass the word, but he hasn't returned to the palace at this moment..."

"No need to wait." Lin Wanning hooked her lips and pulled out a sad smile, "He can't come back."

Hearing this, Mother Qin was stunned, "You mean, he was given by the prince..."

There was a smile on his pale face, giving people a sense of relief. Lin Wanning shook her head affirmatively, "Not the prince."

Cui Feng, who has been by the side since Huo Changyun was born, has worked hard for decades. Even so, didn't he just kill him?

Her pillow, heart and blood are cold.

"Mother Qin...Mother Qin!" Lin Wanning suddenly grabbed Mother Qin's arm tightly, and she lost control of her emotions, her tone was panic and panic: "He is so cruel, if he knows Huo Xiao the matter, will he, will he…”

My heart tightened, and I was afraid to climb the whole body, "Do you think he knew long ago that the accident back then was..."

"Miss!"

Mother Qin raised the volume and pulled Lin Wanning out of her panic in time. She patted her back with her hand and comforted in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, there are servants in everything, don't be afraid."

Under the comfort of Mother Qin, Lin Wanning finally fell asleep.

Looking at the haggard face of the collapsed man, Qin Nan frowned in distress.

—— Over the years, she has taken care of the queen. Although she is the master and servant, she also treats her as her own daughter. When the lady brought her back from the street, she treated her very well. Since the lady left, she has taken on the responsibility of the mother for the lady. The queen has been in charge of the Lin family and her son for most of her life. Without her, the Lin family would have been in decline long ago.

If what happened back then was revealed, she would take care of it all for the queen.

She has absolutely no regrets.

The night was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and the imperial garden was silent.

Unconsciously, Huo Changyun walked to the edge of the familiar red plum tree and stopped. The palace people stood behind him, trying their best to keep their breathing low, daring not to disturb the emperor's tranquility and anger Longyan.

Just now, Lin Wanning's question was still echoing in his ears, Huo Changyun looked at the red plum, whose color could not be clearly seen in the dark, his eyes were heavy.

——Knowing the trap that Lin Wanning laid in Shengyang City, why let Huo Du go?

The lacquer eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly did not dare to look directly at the red plum tree. But in just a moment, his expression returned to normal.

The cold wind suddenly picked up, the thick clouds were blown away, and the bright moon and the stars spread the cold light on the ground.

Red plums are like blood, more like fire.

Fire... Huo Changyun remembered the fire in Cangyan Mountain.

His hands clenched into fists, and the anger on his face was mostly covered by the darkness.

Every mountain range in Daqi is related to the fortune of the country.

That bastard, dare to say that it will burn. For a woman, his mind is not clear.

Then the trip to Shengyang City should be regarded as the punishment given to him by his father. It's a punishment and a test.

If he can survive this calamity, he will be worthy of the throne; if he can't...

He Huo Changyun doesn't need a useless son.

Thoughts gradually returned.

He took a few steps forward, folded off a red plum, and put it between his nose and sniffed lightly.

"Yes."

Huo Du looked at the fox eyes full of surprise and admitted. Looking at each other, he couldn't lie to her.

It felt as if the tip of a knife had been stabbed in the heart, and the pain was filled with fine numbness. Le Zhi couldn't help but take a step back and almost knocked on the door...

Seeing this, Huo Du subconsciously stretched out a hand to help her. But she immediately raised a hand to block him, she raised her eyes, her crow's eyelids trembled, "Let me...let me be quiet."

Without waiting for Huo Du to answer, she turned and walked out of the hall.

The cold wind was blowing outside, but the coke branches felt cold at all. She tried her best to calm herself down, sorting her thoughts from the beginning.

She thought that her plan was perfect, to cooperate with Shen Qingyan, to use Shen Xiang's power to attack Huo Xu, and to let Shen Qingyan escape...

In fact, she was still complacent until Cui Feng appeared. Huo Xu's current situation, the tragic state of his downfall and the stupidity of not having any doubts about her, all made her feel happy.

Unexpectedly, joy gave birth to sorrow.

The harem of the former dynasty was turbulent. She did all the calculations, omitting Huo Xu, a good mother, and the shrewd Emperor Qi. Compared to them, she is still too immature...

The mist in front of me accumulated more and more, and after the long eyelashes were dyed, they fell one by one. She stubbornly raised her hand and wiped it hard, but the more she wiped, the more she could wipe it.

Why is the dorm so far away? She walked for a long time and didn't come.

She finally couldn't help it, squatted down and buried her face in her knees, crying softly.

Suddenly, a warm palm caressed the top of her head. Le Zhi slowly raised his head and stared blankly at the person sitting in the white jade wheelchair. Her emotions were complicated, and the bottom of her eyes went from confusion to anger—

She is immature and thoughtless. But Huo Du obviously had it, and even knew about the chaos in Shengyang City... He could have told her earlier and let her adjust her plan.

If so, he will not be implicated by this matter, and will go to the place where riots and chaos are everywhere...

"Why?" Le Zhi raised her voice and asked him.

"To see you laugh."

Huo Du stared into her eyes and said as a matter of course.
