Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Dai Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hands, which were originally placed on the table, were gently retracted into his sleeves. His fingers were slightly bent and gradually clenched into fists.

he does not know.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows: "Don't you know?"

"I don't know, old slave." The smile on Dai Quan's face disappeared without a trace, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at her revealed a hint of coldness.

Wang Xifeng also frowned, pursed her lips, and paused for a while before saying:

"After Prince Su finished his Fengshan mission and returned to the capital, His Majesty sent the commander of the imperial guards to pick him up.

"But when we were approaching the capital, Prince Su left a letter late at night, saying that he missed the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and would first go to the temporary palace to pay his respects, report to the Emperor, and then return to the capital.

"Then he took a few trusted guards and left quietly.

"How could the commander have imagined that Prince Su would do something like this?

"It was not until the next morning that he discovered it, so he had to send someone to the capital to tell His Majesty. He then led his troops to chase Prince Su to the other palace."

Dai Quan's fingers trembled as they came out from his sleeves and tapped lightly on the table.

Wang Xifeng looked at his nervous expression and knew that he really didn't know the truth. She felt a little relieved, but at the same time she became nervous. She couldn't help but sit up straight and whispered:

"The Emperor and I have calculated the time. No matter what, Prince Su should have arrived at the palace yesterday..."

Dai Quan said in a deep voice: "If it is a large group of people, then I should know about it no matter what!"

"So..." Wang Xifeng looked at Dai Quan in horror, and they both said at the same time:

"Prince Su didn't come to the other palace!?"

This is a big trouble!

Dai Quan just felt a little dizzy.

Wang Xifeng noticed that he was swaying slightly, and quickly reached out and grabbed his arm: "Dai Xiang!~"

Dai Quanqiang struggled to steady himself, but his face turned pale: "I have to go back, this matter can be big or small..."

To put it in a positive light, Prince Su encountered some obstacles on the way, so he arrived at the palace a day or two late, which is fine.

But what if he had come a long time ago, but changed his direction and location and entered Zhongnan Mountain, deceived the imperial guards, sneaked into the palace, and had ill intentions...

——What if he succeeds?

What if! ?

Especially now that the Queen Mother is still here!

They, mother and son, forged an imperial edict... and with his ambitious and foolish disciple as his accomplice...

Dai Quan could no longer sit still, he stood up and rushed out!

Wang Xifeng grabbed him and said, "You can't go back alone in this state!"

He called Jing Li loudly.

"This is the Jing generation from the former East Palace. You know their abilities. If you need to run errands to fetch someone, he is better than an ordinary eunuch."

Wang Xifeng whispered, holding Dai Quan's fingers tightly, "Grandpa Dai, since I entered the palace, you have been the best person to me besides the Grand Master and the Emperor.

"You must take good care of yourself.

"I don't know how your disciples are doing, but I have a grandson of yours who is smart and filial. He is waiting to take care of you until the end of your life!"

Dai Quan thought of the little fellow named Qian Gang who was left in the Daming Palace to fend for himself because Zhou Dai was so angry and humiliated.

At that moment, his face involuntarily relaxed a little and he smiled: "Okay, okay!

"Since the queen is helping her servants to plot against my little fortune, how can I not understand the situation?

"If there is ever a day when I return to Daming Palace, I will make Qian Gang smash pots and banners for me!"

This means recognizing Qian Gang’s legitimate identity!

Wang Xifeng groaned, "What the hell is this saying?"

He did not argue with Dai Quan anymore, but instead instructed Jing Li, who had come over to help support Dai Quan, to say:

“I believe that you, the Jing generation, have your own ways of contacting each other.

"Jing Quan never returned to the capital after sending the concubine back to the other palace.

"Call him out and listen to Grandpa Dai's instructions together - don't worry about me, I eat and sleep, I don't know anything!"

Jing Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, his face darkened slightly: "My Lady..."

"Have you remembered what I said?" Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed.

Jing Li had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Yes, I will obey your orders!"

Dai Quan was full of approval, patted Wang Xifeng on the shoulder, and left quickly with the help of Jing Li.

Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the night sky.

cough.

A slight cough.

The sound was crisp and light, and even seemed to disappear into the air when blown by the mountain breeze on a summer night.

However, within three or five breaths, two night owls, two tits and a cuckoo flew over, landed on the high branches in the yard, and each called out.

See Master Phoenix.

Wang Xifeng looked at them and coughed again.

The birds responded again, and immediately flapped their wings and flew away into the sky, opening their mouths wide and screaming sharply.

Chunsheng and Chunnuan then rushed out: "My Lady, what's wrong?"

Wang Xifeng looked at the two of them and smiled: "Just now there were several birds standing on the tree over there quarreling. I was very annoyed, so I threw a stone and scared them all away."

The two of them finally felt relieved.

They all looked around subconsciously, and didn't see any palace servants doing menial jobs, so they all felt a little dissatisfied.

Chun Nuan went forward to support Wang Xifeng, muttering softly, "Prime Minister Dai wants to talk to you, and everyone should keep a distance. This is the right thing to do.

"But how come there is no one guarding the courtyard and the corridor?

"These people are too lazy..."

Wang Xifeng gently grasped her hand and said, "People in other palaces only listen to the Grand Master and the Queen Mother, and at most they listen to a few more words from the Grand Concubines and Imperial Concubines.

"Who are we? We are just here to do our job.

"Besides, we can only rest for a day or two at most, and then we will have to carry the coffin to Xiaoci County. How can we have the time to argue with them?

"You all finished washing up?"

Chunnuan's heart skipped a beat, she looked up at Chunsheng, winked at him, but her tone softened and she chuckled:

"Yes. I have washed and packed everything. Sister An'er will be back with the food soon. We will have dinner and rest."

Wang Xifeng paused again, then raised her head and looked at Chunsheng nonchalantly: "Go and pick up your sister An'er.

"The people in this courtyard are lazy. She might have to carry a big box of food by herself. Other palaces are not like Daming Palace. Don't let her get lost again."

Chunsheng's face tensed up in an instant, he quickly agreed, and walked away quickly.

On a summer night, in the middle of the month, the moon was bright in the sky, the stars were shining brightly, and the pavilions and palaces in the mountain breeze were flickering with faint candlelight, casting dark shadows of the towering mountains and spacious palaces on the ground.

Especially the tall trees that the birds had just been startled into flying, their branches dancing lightly in the wind, casting shadows of chaos between the mountain and the palace.

It was as if there was an unknown thief hiding in the houses, looking around with ulterior motives.

Chunnuan watched Chunsheng's back disappear into the darkness as he walked out of the Cuibo Pavilion gate, never to be seen again. Suddenly, she felt a tremor in her heart, and she pulled Wang Xifeng and whispered:

"My lady, let's go in."
