"Huh?" The Sixth Prince's expression changed, "What's going on?"

After Yun Lian vomited blood, he took a few steps back again and again, but kept holding the snow ganoderma plant high in his hand.Under his protection, the snow ganoderma was not stained with a single trace of blood.He couldn't stop panting, stood his ground firmly, bowed again and said: "I beg the lord to give me an antidote."

The sixth prince saw his actions, nodded in approval and said, "What antidote do you want?"

Yun Lian said in a low voice, "I'm not going to lie to my lord, before my subordinates came to the palace, Zhao Linhuai's followers accidentally discovered their whereabouts. They forced them to drink Shi Zhan's poison in order to deter the majesty of the lord."

The Sixth Prince nodded, with a bit of innocence and puzzlement in his bright eyes: "But, I remember, I saw you in the palace that day. At that time, you were clearly with that thief."

Yun Lian's heart skipped a beat, and his tone became even more humble: "The subordinates know that Zhao Linhuai's faction is in trouble, and they want to get rid of the serious troubles for the prince, so they managed to infiltrate into Zhao Linhuai's party. The reason for bringing that person into the palace that day was just to get his Trust, so that you can plan things out of it, the prince must not misunderstand."

He lowered his head, and handed over Xue Lingzhi respectfully.

The sixth prince ordered someone to take Xue Lingzhi, but he didn't return it.

He vomited a mouthful of blood, his vision suddenly became confused, and his heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably.Say it a second time: "Please save my life, my lord."

For some reason, there was no response for a long time, and there were bursts of buzzing around, as if someone was whispering.

Yun Lian could only see the faint flames around him, but could not see the face of the Sixth Prince. He bit his lower lip hard and repeated: "Please save my life, Lord."

He repeated these words unrelentingly, with his head lowered, but his back was always upright, and his body stood upright, like a tough blade of grass in a strong wind.

After a while, the sixth prince's regretful voice sounded next to his ears: "If you don't die, you are indeed a character."

Yun Lian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "As long as the prince saves the life of his subordinate, I will not die."

The prince chuckled a few times, waved to the shadow of the tree behind the firelight and said, "Go and take out the antidote left by that person in Tianluo Palace."

"Yes." Someone answered under the dark tree shadow.

Yun Lian raised his head and looked where the sound was coming from, but just happened to meet the dazzling fire light, and the extremely severe pain hit his temple, he had to lower his head again, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Not long after, a person came out from the darkness, came to him, and called him, "Master."

"It's you—" Yun Lian's head was about to burst from pain, and he was dumbfounded, unable to see anything clearly, but he had heard that voice countless times over the years, "Qianying?"

"It's me." The man in front of him said, "The prince knows about the fact that you arranged for the imperial court's convicts and helped the bandits in the rivers and lakes to rob the prison, my lord."

When Yun Lian was in a daze, his mind became clearer and clearer. All the things that he couldn't figure out at the time now had the answers. secret."

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in, son, and the subordinates can't help themselves."

Yun Lian laughed again.As expected of the subordinates brought out by him, these cold words seem to have been learned from him.

The voices of the people around were getting quieter, only Qianying, who was right in front of him, said:

"My lord, you can't escape. The battle tonight is just for you."

"Young master, there may still be a chance of survival if you surrender now."

"Young master, surrender..."

Unexpectedly, Yun Lian seemed to stop all resistance actions suddenly, bowed his head, and stood like a log.His facial features were shrouded in the darkness of the night, and it was difficult for outsiders to see his expression at the moment. Qianying slowly approached him while talking: "My lord..."

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were blurred, and Qianying's hands were empty. When he realized it, he found that Yun Lian had taken the antidote from his hand.

Yun Lian stood still, waiting for this opportunity.After a hit, he didn't stay any longer, and immediately endured the severe pain, turned around, and flew out: "My lord kindly, my subordinates, it's late at night, so please don't disturb me!"

However, after running for a few steps, all the officers and soldiers with swords surrounded him, blocking his way heavily.Yun Lian held his head in pain and was forced to step back step by step.

"stop!"

Accompanied by the torches flying around, all the officers and soldiers drew their swords one after another, and the blades and blades interlaced with dazzling glare against the background of the fire.Yun Lian was stung by the omnipresent light and shed two streams of clear tears, subconsciously closed his eyes.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, the voice behind him became clearer: "My lord, no one will come to rescue you tonight, so hurry up and beg for mercy."

A short number poured into Yun Lian's ears, as if he had been enlightened. In this short moment, a clear thought flashed through his mind.

Qianying and Liuhong are brothers, now that Qianying has taken refuge in the Sixth Prince, what about Liuhong?

What if Liu Hong secretly betrayed her?

So - in this way, would Shen Yufeng have no way of knowing his whereabouts?

His heart, which has always been calm and calm, finally felt fear at this moment. He pressed his head and walked and retreated. A chill surged from the soles of his feet, as if his whole body had fallen into a bone-piercing ice cellar.

At this time, he really had a premonition that he might end up here tonight.

And the countless swords around him have come to him, and they are slashing at his head.

***

Liu's other courtyard.

It was another night of waning moon in the sky.

After Shen Yufeng practiced the sword, he sat in the courtyard to rest, and the Fang brothers came up to him and asked about some confusion about martial arts.

Shen Yufeng didn't hide his secrets, and explained to them one by one his experience in martial arts.

When the three of them were talking about the most excitement, they saw Shi Fengting walking out of the room.Shen Yufeng shut his mouth, stood up immediately and said, "Excuse me, Yu Feng."

After taking the antidote in the morning, Shi Fengting recovered more than half of his body. He was unwell and thick-skinned, so he took it for granted that he lived in the Liu family courtyard.Shen Yufeng took into account Hong Lian's face and didn't throw him out, but he really didn't want to see this person's face again. After meeting Shi Fengting face to face, he stopped practicing his sword and lost his appetite, so he withdrew his "Ming Xin" Jian returned to his room.

He walked slowly through the front hall, and saw that mysterious black figure was still guarding the door. He had been standing there all day, but he had no intention of retreating to rest.

Shen Yufeng greeted him: "He hasn't come back yet?"

Liu Hong did not respond.

Shen Yufeng said again: "Let's rest first, he probably won't come back today."

Liu Hong still didn't respond.

Shen Yufeng couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.

Yun Lianshou's two subordinates were more serious than the other, and he asked casually, knowing that the other party would not be able to respond.

He turned around and walked back to his room, but he suddenly had doubts in his heart: Yun Lian disappeared without a trace after taking the snow ganoderma lucidum on his body, from day to night, and he didn't know where he went all day?

He stopped and asked, "Where did your son go?"

Liu Hong remained silent.

Shen Yufeng frowned secretly, and Liu Hong finally said, "Young master should handle the accounts at Yun's house."

Shen Yufeng felt even weirder. It's not that he doesn't understand the Yun family's business. In the past few years, Yun Lian has cultivated many smart and capable subordinates in the Yun family's merchants. The large and small businesses of the Yun family are basically handed over to specialized people. No matter how many bills you have, you don't have to worry about it so late.

He wanted to pay more attention. At this time, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door.

It's so late, who else will come?

Shen Yufeng walked to the door, opened the door, and found a groom standing in front of the door, and behind him was a carriage parked, and a beautiful woman got out of the carriage, it turned out to be Liu Hanyan.

Shen Yufeng stepped forward to greet her and said, "Miss Liu, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Liu Hanyan seemed anxious, and asked, "Master Shen, is Mr. Yun there?"

Shen Yufeng shook his head and said, "He's not here."

"He went to my house to retrieve the repaired jade flute, and said some strange things, I, I was worried if he was going to do something, he used to chat with me for a while when he came to Liu's house, but tonight As if in a hurry, I took my things and left—”

Liu Hanyan was speaking incoherently, but Shen Yufeng accidentally grabbed one of the words and interrupted her: "What are you repairing? What are you talking about repairing?"

Liu Hanyan gave him a strange look, but still kindly explained: "It's a broken flute. He asked me to find a craftsman in Chang'an City to repair it in the name of Liu's family. He just went to my house to pick it up."

Shen Yufeng was stunned for a while, and hurriedly asked: "Is it the flute he gave me before?"

Liu Hanyan shook her head and said, "I'm not very clear either."

At this time, Liu Hong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Master Shen, before leaving, the young master said that you will know after you go back to the room and take a look."

Shen Yufeng turned his head abruptly, frowned, turned around and strode into his room, and then he saw a gray package on the table beside the bed.

When I opened it, I found that what was wrapped inside was the very familiar "Weeping Bone" flute.

They had a dispute in the cave that day and accidentally slipped the "Weeping Bone" flute to the ground and broke it into pieces, thinking that the pieces had been washed away by the flood at that time.He didn't know that from the cave to Chang'an City, Yun Lian carried the fragments of the jade flute with him all the time!

What surprised him even more was that the flute was not only restored to its original appearance, but even the chapped fine lines on it were repaired as smooth as before, without any trace of cracks.The body of the flute had perfect lines and was as white as jade. When it was touched by his fingers, it made a sound that was neither gold nor jade.

Shen Yufeng stroked the smooth surface carefully, and there was a panic in his heart for no reason, and the fingers holding the "Crying Bone" flute suddenly tightened.

Liu Hanyan followed and walked in: "Master Yun really went out?"

Shen Yufeng looked back at her, and said strangely: "He didn't tell you where he went?"

Liu Hanyan was even more strange than him: "I...why did he tell me where he was going?"

Shen Yufeng only felt a headache: "You, why don't you know? Aren't you a fiancée? Aren't you the most important thing to know?"

Liu Hanyan was very surprised and said: "Mr. Yun and I have already broken off our engagement!"

"What?" Shen Yufeng was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing him stunned, Liu Hanyan was even more puzzled: "Why, didn't he tell you?"

"Three months ago, he returned to Chang'an from another place, and came to Liu's house to meet me, told me his real identity, and asked me if I knew his identity, and if I wanted to marry him. At that time, I heard about this The absurd thing was indeed shocking for a long time, but seeing him say it so sincerely, it was unavoidable to be a little touched, and I thought about it for a long time."

"I've been thinking about this for a few days, and then I gradually figured it out. I realized that although he was asking for my opinion, he didn't actually want to marry me at all. I also admit that I really only have friends with him. I have no love for men and women, and I don’t want to marry a husband who seems to be divorced. We hit it off immediately, and soon begged my father to come forward to dissolve the engagement between us.”

Shen Yufeng only felt that his whole head was in a mess, and murmured: "This...he never told me..."

However, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Liu Hanyan doesn't need to lie. Yun Lian, a person who is not pushed to the extreme, will never be able to reveal his sincerity.

Liu Hanyan sighed: "Oh, I don't know about this. I have known Mr. Yun for several years, but he will never tell me what he is thinking. Sometimes I feel that there is too much hidden in his heart. Too many things, too much thought..."

Listening to her rambling about the past, Shen Yufeng's mind became even more messed up, and he didn't even have the intention to continue talking to her, so he subconsciously turned around and went out, saying, "I'll go to Yun's house to find him!"

He really has too much to say to Yun Lian.

But when he realized that he was holding the "Weeping Bone" flute in his hand, he stopped abruptly.

Facing Shang Liu Hanyan's suspicious gaze, he explained: "If he returns to Yun's house, it is impossible for him to come to another courtyard to return the flute to me."

If Yun Lian wanted to return the flute to him, there would be plenty of opportunities, so there was no need to make this special trip.

But what did Yun Lian mean by placing the flute beside his bed on purpose?

Somehow, he suddenly sensed a hint of farewell from Yun Lian's indistinct behavior.

"Yes, Master Shen," Liu Hong walked in at this time, and said in a warm voice, "Before the sixth prince frequently issued orders to the Yun family, asking the young master to return to the palace to answer his orders. Perhaps, the young master is now in the palace."

Shen Yufeng and Liu Hanyan were stunned together. The rumors of the palace robbing the prison and killing Master Zhan had been spreading in Chang'an these few days. Almost everyone in Chang'an city knew that Yun Lian had been involved in this matter. Why did he go back to the palace to repeal his order?

Isn't this taking the initiative to die?

Could it be that Shen Yufeng thought of what he said before leaving during the day-could it be for the antidote on Hong Lian's body?

Shen Yufeng drew out the "Ming Xin" sword and swept out the door: "I'm going to the palace right now!"
