Birds on the edge of the abyss 42
Seeing her pointing outside, Chu Xin nodded stiffly. Jian Can walked forward with great joy, patted Chu Xin on the shoulder, and said with difficulty, holding his stomach, "Junior brother, why are you doing this? You have to provoke Le Luo when he is furious."
Chu Xin:......
After Jian Can ordered the replacement shadow guard to enter the cell instead of the two, several people quickly escaped. This series of actions were done quietly.
After a while, they arrived at a hidden inn. After hearing Chu Xin's words, Le Luo's expression cracked for a moment. She raised her eyes slightly and said calmly,
“Your Highness is saying that Master Shen has been arrested?”
Chu Xin nodded while sitting on the chair, looking tired.
"What's the situation in Beijing?"
"There is no turmoil yet. I guess they want to wait until Your Highness disappears before taking action." Le Luo pondered for a moment before saying
Jian Can sat aside with his legs crossed, picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, saying nonchalantly, "The Imperial Concubine has not given up yet, which shows her infatuation. It's a pity that she has given her love to the wrong person. I don't know when she will repent."
Le Luo sighed and stood aside to observe the miserable scene outside without responding.
Chu Xin pursed his lips, and became more and more anxious. Whether it was Shen Luli or his mother who was far away in Kyoto, he needed to do all the big and small layouts.
"The more unpredictable Father's thoughts are, the more likely it is to arouse Mother's dissatisfaction. It's not far from Mother's awakening." He stood up and walked back and forth a few steps. Seeing that the internal energy in his body had recovered as before, he said
"Let's put Mother aside for now and send someone to rescue Shen Luli first."
"Tsk, what are you so anxious about!" Jian Can wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, licked his lips and chuckled, "Chen Changle would backstab you but not his beloved brother. The situation outside is so chaotic. If we rescue him, not only will it arouse Prince Jing's suspicion, but it is also very likely that he will be imprisoned."
Jian Can narrowed his eyes, looked at the chaotic streets outside, and continued, "It might very well kill him. The most urgent thing is to return to the capital quickly and start making preparations."
"Jian Can is right, Your Highness, now is not the time to care about the love affairs of children. Moreover, there are spies of Prince Jing all over Meizhou. It is impossible to save people easily. Everything should be based on the overall situation." Le Luo nodded and said lightly
"Huh..." Chu Xin covered his face in pain. He raised his eyes and said darkly, "I know, but..."
Chu Xin paused and said, "We must send a Grade A shadow guard to sneak in and protect them."
"Pfft..." Le Luo covered her mouth and smiled, "Your Highness doesn't need to tell me, I remember it too."
Jian Can rested his chin on his hand and said, "We sent people in a long time ago, but we didn't expect you to be so impulsive. Before we could stop you, we heard that you had already entered the royal city. You are lucky that Prince Jing didn't take this opportunity to kill you directly."
"You must be planning to publicly humiliate His Highness after the deed is accomplished... Stupid!" Le Luo said coldly, raising the corner of his mouth.
A faint blush rarely appeared on Chu Xin's face. After hearing Le Luo's words, she continued, "My brother has always been stubborn and conceited. He is not a concern. I am just wondering how he managed to win over so many important officials in the court who strongly support him..."
Several people were also lost in thought. After a while, Jian Can suddenly clapped his hands and said
"By the way, the guy you sent to southern Xinjiang not long ago is back."
Chu Xin turned around, and Le Luo added, "And he has brought back someone who has been coveting His Highness for a long time..."
"Where is he?" Seeing Le Luo's ambiguous look, Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
"We placed him in a remote courtyard in the city," Le Luo said.
"Lead the way!" Chu Xin stood up and said
"Oh, what should we do with him?" Jian Can suddenly jumped up from his chair and landed on the ground. When he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered that there was an unconscious person lying on the bed.
Chu Xin glanced at him and said, "Take them to the other courtyard and let Lan Huan treat them."
After three incense sticks
Chu Xin sat on a stone bench in the yard, with Bazhu and Le Luo standing behind him, Jian Can sitting next to him, and opposite him sat an extremely beautiful woman.
The woman was wearing a grey fox fur coat, revealing clothes underneath, and a lot of jewelry of different colors on her body. The breeze blew, and the bells jingled, the sound was crisp and pleasant. Her skin was wheat-colored, with deep features, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and a straight nose, which made her look quite exotic.
Lan Huan served tea to several people and ran into the room in a panic, probably worried about someone.
"How are you, Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Feng Ze raised the jade token in his hand and said with a smile.
Chu Xin said expressionlessly, "It's time to fulfill your promise."
"Humph, of course I know that, but we haven't seen each other for many years. Why don't you allow me some time to catch up with you?" Feng Ze curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Chu Xin pushed the tea aside and said coldly, "What's there to reminisce about with you?"
"Tsk!" Feng Ze spat, glanced at the others with a smile, then picked up the tea and took a sip and said, "Tell me! What do you want to do?"
"Go to the royal city and save one person." Chu Xin avoided Feng Ze's desk and rubbed his feet, stretching out to seduce him. He looked at the other party.
Feng Ze paused and asked in surprise, "It's just a small matter? Is it worth my effort?"
"It's worth it," Chu Xin said solemnly, "There's no time to lose. Get in as soon as possible. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long."
Even if the royal city had the most skilled imperial physician, they could not remove the poison from Shen Luli's body and could only delay it for a short time. He had no other choice but to hope that the other party would be alive and well, waiting for him to go and greet him openly after he had dealt with the important matter. While thinking, Chu Xin slowly clenched his fists.
Feng Ze whistled and stood up. She bent down and blew a breath towards Chu Xin, saying softly, "It's a miracle that someone like you can still have a chance to bloom like an old tree!"
She stretched out her hand and was about to touch Chu Xin's cheek, but suddenly her arm was clamped and she couldn't move. A dagger stood at her throat, and with a little more force it would pierce into her neck. Feng Ze was stunned and looked up.
But she saw that Bazhu, who had come with her all the way, was staring at her fiercely. His pair of deep black eyes looked at her like a pool of stagnant water without a ripple.
There was a stalemate between the two. Jian Can was watching a show, munching on sunflower seeds. Le Luo stood by with his eyes wide open, sighing helplessly. Chu Xin put the tea on the table and said coldly, "Stop, Bazhu."
"Yes, Master." Bazhu paused after hearing Chu Xin's voice, then retracted the dagger and stood silently.
Feng Ze retracted her arm, frowned, and shook it off. For a moment, she felt as if she had entered the territory of a wild beast and completely lost her strength. She smiled and said, "Your subordinate is quite conscientious. I am very interested in him."
"If you're interested, just have him follow you." Chu Xin stood up and said as he walked, "Tell the informant about the herbs you need. Now pack up and set off for the royal city!"
Feng Ze frowned, glanced at the jade token in his hand, sighed, and muttered "madman".
