Offer a tripod

The forest was silent, Yun Cong was holding the concealed weapon he found from the corpse of the assassin in his hand, and walked slowly down the mountain, lazily giving any birds and animals a shot when he saw it, but it was a pity that he was not good at aiming, so he walked all the way. Come to nothing.When he was bored, he heard the sound of hunting in the distance.After autumn, the weather became very cold, but the sound of the wind came with a sense of scorching heat.

Yun Cong squinted his eyes for a while, then quickly threw the hidden weapon in his hand into the nearby grass, and stepped forward to meet him: "Master." Chu Yu's expression remained unchanged, he nodded at Yun Cong, and kept walking. , still going up the mountain.He was so fast that Yun Cong had to trot to follow him: "Why are you back again?"

Chu Yu said: "The crown prince's token landed on it, I'll take it."

Yun Cong stroked his sweaty hair and recalled: "I have searched all over the room, and there are no tokens."

Chu Yu's pace stopped suddenly, and the cloak like a long sail slowly fell behind him: "Is this true?"

Yun never nodded without thinking: "Naturally!"

Chu Yu frowned slightly, thinking of Yuan Jing's unusual behavior just now, he felt a little uneasy, but he had never played tricks on him, so Chu Yu couldn't think of the reason for a while.Yun Cong said thoughtfully from the side, "His Royal Highness sent you away on purpose?"

Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat, before he could think about it, he turned around and rushed back.At this moment, Yun Cong came to his senses, and guessed a lot about the reason why the prince did this.He was worried all night about what would happen after the prince was injured and returned. Now that Chu Yu had the opportunity to clear up the relationship, he was very relieved.

It rained again in the middle of the night, and when Chu Yu rushed to the place, the building was indeed empty, and even the rut marks on the ground were blurred and hard to find.Cursing secretly, he had no choice but to go back to the Prince's Mansion first, but someone got there first.

Originally, when he heard that the prince hadn't come back, his expression became serious.When he saw Yuan Xi sitting majestically in the main hall, with many palace officials kneeling at his feet, his eyes suddenly became more gloomy.Seeing him coming back alone, Yuan Xi was really surprised, and glanced behind him calmly: "What is the prince doing here so late? Could it be that he also came to look for someone after hearing the news that the prince was missing?" With a bit more sternness, the palace people prostrated at his feet immediately buried their heads even lower.

Chu Yu's figure flickered, and he had come to Yuan Xi. His expression was indifferent, and his tone was calm: "Marquis Shun'an, please take a step to speak."

The orb hung high in the hall, and it was as bright as day at first, but when his tall body approached, Yuan Xi felt his eyes dim, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You guys go down first." Chu Yu added: " Close the door."

Xiao Liu was the closest, and felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit weird at the moment. Taking a sneak peek, he felt that Chu Yu's current appearance was much more terrifying than when he was angry with the prince before. .

As soon as the Humen closed, Chu Yu's eyes fell again.Yuan Xi saw his appearance clearly, her fingertips trembled, and she forced herself to calm down: "Your Majesty, what do you want to say..." Before he finished speaking, he had already grabbed his neck and lifted him from the chair.

Yuan Xi didn't expect that he would dare to commit murder here, and even struggled a little slower, and when he was about to break his hand, his complexion turned pale from being pinched by this callused hand, and even breathing was difficult.

Chu Yu kept tightening his hands like iron pliers, and his eyes were as cold as ice: "Where is the prince?"

Yuan Xi grasped his arm firmly with both hands, and said in a difficult voice: "How... would I know... Chu Yu, you dare to kill me, Father... will not let you go!"

Chu Yu sneered without a smile, and stared at him like a dark cloud: "I have a bad temper, and you are worthless in my eyes no matter what kind of prince and noble you are, you will kill it! Marquis Shun'an, Since you entered Beijing, I have known that you have evil intentions. I can see what you see in my heart. That is, the prince respects you and believes in you, so you will be deceived by you. It is you who captured Quli and the traitor. You are the one who hides things and does not report them. Today's matter, you and I are tacit, if something happens to the crown prince, do you think you can survive? Even if I don't do anything, the emperor will not spare you!"

Yuan Xi's expression turned dead, and she snorted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about...maybe you abducted Brother Jing...caused something to happen to him...instead...framed me..." With just one word, he felt the hand that was pinching him suddenly tightened, and his neck bone creaked. He was terrified, knowing that Chu Yu's move was real, and shouted: "Come here..." It's a pity that he was so angry , can't pass it on at all.

Chu Yu said coldly: "The prince has something to do, that is, I have lost a backer, and you have lost a strong enemy. Think about it yourself, who will the emperor trust!"

Yuan Xi's eyes turned black, and she couldn't think anymore. In desperation, she blurted out: "He doesn't have... other sons... you can only trust me..."

Chu Yu's expression became more and more disgusted, and he could cut off his neck with just one more force: "Great! You have a good plan. If there is such a day, the emperor really has no other choice. But I don't have his tolerance , I only know that if anyone dares to hurt Yuan Jing, I will tell him to die!" With a lift of his arm, he was lifted so that his feet did not touch the ground, Yuan Xi snorted a few times, breathing more and more, his face He was so suffocated that he turned purple, and his body gradually lost strength.

At the critical moment, I heard Xiao Liu shouting outside the door: "My son! Lord Hou! Your Highness is back!"

Chu Yu loosened his palm, threw Yuan Xi to the ground as if throwing something, turned around and walked out.At this time Yuan Jing had already been carried to the sleeping hall, his face was pale, his clothes were stained with blood, and the medical officers rushed over one after another, or cut off his clothes, or stopped the bleeding for him.He tried his best to search for something through the crowd, until he saw Chu Yu's figure appearing, he felt relieved, smiled at him lightly, and fell into a coma.

This time the crown prince was injured, even Emperor Yan was alarmed.It was not even the morning, and it was early dawn, so I rushed here.The imperial doctor worked all night, and finally saved his life and came back.The blood-stained dagger was also pulled out and set aside.When Emperor Yan saw the murderous weapon, he immediately understood who the perpetrator was, and immediately issued an imperial edict, ordering General Shenwu to execute all Quli rebels who had been sent there.

His eyes fell on the bed, and he saw Yuan Jing's weak and pale sleeping face. The strict father's behavior that he had pretended for the past few months disappeared in an instant.He was so distressed that he couldn't even speak, he just waved to Chu Yu who was guarding beside him, then sat beside Yuan Jing's bed, lifted the quilt to look at his wound, and sighed heavily.

Chu Yu knew it would be inconvenient to stay here, so he left silently.When he returned to the mansion, he saw Fang Qing kneeling in front of his room door, pleading guilty, holding a sword.Chi Zhu stood next to him anxiously, touching the wine gourd from time to time, but unfortunately he had run out of wine, so he dared not walk away, so he had to suppress his alcohol addiction.

Chu Yu turned a blind eye to them and said coldly, "Get out."

Chi Zhu saw that he was really angry this time, so she had the cheek to follow in, but Fang Qing knocked her out as soon as she stepped into the door.Fang Qing put Chi Zhu aside, held a long sword, and knelt down in front of Chu Yu again.

There was an open wooden box on the table, which contained the poisonous incense that Chi Zhu was ordered to make.At this moment, it has been put in the sachet, and the concentric buttons made of five-color silk ribbons are dropped on it. When you sniff it carefully, you will feel the subtle fragrance.No one would have guessed that under this lingering affection, there is a life-threatening poison.Chi Zhu had been making it for many days, but he couldn't find a chance to give it to him. Today, Fang Qing seemed to have caused a catastrophe, so he hurriedly offered this thing, trying to offset some punishment for him.

Fang Qing didn't wait for him to ask, confessed his guilt, and told him what happened last night.The coldness on Chu Yu's face was still there, and he said indifferently: "You go when he tells you to go? What if something happens to him on the way?"

Fang Qing said: "The prince will not be injured until he dies. I followed him until he was sent back to the mansion. What's more, he has a firm attitude and what he said is true. If you go back with him, the emperor will have no way to explain it." Yes, this subordinate has to obey, although he is the prince of a country, you are my lord. It’s just that this subordinate failed your promise after all, so please die.” Holding the sword high in front of him, showing no shame Uncovered nape of the neck.

Chu Yu glanced at him, took the long sword and waved it, the snow-like sword light flashed, and a strand of long hair floated to the ground.Fang Qing touched the back of his head, a little unbelievable, Chu Yu said expressionlessly, "This is not an example."

Fang Qing knelt for too long, and staggered when he got up, seeing Chu Yu staring at the sachet, standing aside, not daring to say more.After a while, Chu Yu said softly: "If he wants to know, what will happen?" Fang Qing looked him up and thought, "Is there a need to ask?" Before he could decide on his words, he heard Chu Yu say : "Take it and burn it."

Fang Qing thought he heard it wrong: "Do you really want to burn it? Chi Zhu said that these medicines are very troublesome to prepare, and it may not be possible every time."

Chu Yu didn't rest for a day and a night. At this time, his face showed a little tiredness, and he rubbed his temples: "The prince is injured right now, and how harmful it is for him to wear this thing by his side. After all, I owe him once. Even if I give him a favor." He got up and asked him to take someone to the mountain to deal with the aftermath, and the Prince's Mansion was also watched by people, and once Emperor Yan got up and drove back to the palace, he would come to reward himself.

After Fang Qing left, he lay down on the bed with his clothes on, and when he closed his eyes, he could see Yuan Jing smiling at him covered in blood.Suddenly, there was another sharp pain in my heart.

Many years ago, when the Chaoyue Valley fire broke out, he suddenly understood the feelings of the weeping people who jumped into the flames.
