"Swallow orchid?" Long Xunyi seemed a little confused. He examined the potted plant and raised his lips slightly. "What is a swallow orchid? It doesn't look like a swallow."
"The fragrance of this flower is pleasant and makes people happy. When you are in a good mood, you will naturally have a feeling of flying. That's why it is named Swallow Orchid. It is worth a fortune and is the most difficult species to find among orchids." Fu Mo said half-truthfully.
In fact, what he said was not false. The swallow orchid does have such a meaning, but its true meaning is that it can make people die in joy and ascend to heaven.
"I see. My heart is soaring like a swallow. What a nice name, what a nice orchid. Thank you, Western Emperor, for this generous gift!"
…
"How long will it take? Can't it go faster?" An Tingyu asked for the umpteenth time in the carriage.
On the other side, Feng Beijian glanced at her and sighed slightly, "This is already the fastest! Wait a little longer! We're about to enter the city."
"It's all my fault. Why was I so careless?" An Tingyu blamed herself.
She should have been alert when Fu Mo suddenly became so obedient. Fu Mo had suppressed hatred in his heart for more than ten years, so how could he let her keep an eye on him? But she never expected that Fu Mo would act so quickly, leaving her unprepared.
"Okay, stop blaming yourself." Feng Beijian's tone was calm, and he added, "Although I don't know whether what you said is true or not, you don't need to worry too much. After all, the emperor is not a powerless person. He is the ruler of a country and is surrounded by many experts. It is not easy to take his life, so he will be fine. I think the one who should be worried about is Fu Mo. If he really has that kind of idea, no matter whether he succeeds in the end or not, he will not be able to escape from the palace."
"Honestly, are you worried about the emperor or Fu Mo?" Feng Beijian asked again.
It's not that he wants to doubt An Tingyu's thoughts, but An Tingyu's behavior is really worthy of his suspicion. An Tingyu obviously knows Fu Mo's thoughts, but she didn't tell Long Xunyi, and only expressed her concern verbally. He couldn't help but wonder if An Tingyu also had the same hatred. After all, the late emperor was the enemy of An Tingyu and Fu Mo.
"I'm worried about both of them." An Tingyu frowned, not liking his suspicion too much. She then whispered softly, "Also, I don't want anyone other than you to know about this."
Feng Beijian chuckled sarcastically, "Do you think this can be kept secret?"
Once Fu Mo takes action, everyone will know that the late emperor was the murderer who caused the destruction of the An family.
Feng Beijian gracefully changed his posture and continued, "Although I already knew your mother died because of someone, I never imagined that this person was the late emperor. Now that I think about it, is this the reason the Empress Dowager and the Emperor dote on you so much? Are they paying off the late emperor's debt?"
If this incident had not happened today, he would not have learned from An Tingyu that there were such grievances between the An family and the king. After all, the Queen Mother and Long Xunyi doted on An Tingyu so much, and An Tingyu and Long Xunyi were like brother and sister, and she even called the Queen Mother "Mother", so who would have thought that there was such a deep hatred between them!
Hearing this, An Tingyu remained silent, because she had thought about this question before, but she didn't think it was possible, because the Queen Mother's attitude was too strange, treating her better than her own son. How could this be considered paying back a debt? So she had never come to a conclusion on this issue.
“Ouch~”
The coachman suddenly stopped the carriage. An Tingyu and Fu Mo were startled. The latter quickly asked, "Why did it stop? Let's go into the city."
"My Lord, it's not that I don't want to go in, but I can't!"
Hearing the coachman's words, Feng Beijian lifted the carriage curtain and saw the towering city gate and a group of masked men in black standing in front of them.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Feng Beijian said coldly.
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that someone doesn't want you to enter the city today." said the leading man in black.
Upon hearing this, even a fool would know that these were Fu Mo's men, because Fu Mo was the only one who least wanted them to enter the city today.
"It seems that Fu Mo has another trick up his sleeve besides using you!" An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily, and a hint of admiration flashed in her beautiful eyes.
In fact, Fu Mo is a very smart person. He knew that Feng Beijian cared about her, so he asked Feng Beijian to look after her. But precisely because he knew that Feng Beijian cared about her, Fu Mo may have thought that Feng Beijian might be emotional, so he arranged these men in black and made double defenses.
It’s a pity that his intelligence is not used in the right way.
"This bastard, it seems he doesn't believe me at all!" Feng Beijian cursed, then looked at An Tingyu, "So what should we do now? Break in?"
"Give me the antidote! How else can we break through?" Feng Beijian only brought a guard and a groom, and she didn't even bring Dang Yan with her in order to avoid Fu Zhonghan's suspicion. There were more than a dozen men in black in front of them. If they only relied on Feng Beijian, a guard and a groom, and brought her, a powerless woman, how could they break through the siege?
Feng Beijian curled his lips, looking unwilling, but at this point, he had no choice. After all, the person Fu Mo wanted to kill was the emperor of their Longyan Kingdom, and also the husband of Concubine Feng. How could he possibly look down on the emperor?
Feng Beijian handed the antidote to An Tingyu, who slowly took it, but...
"Why don't you eat?" Feng Beijian looked at her puzzledly.
At this time, An Tingyu was staring at the medicinal powder. It was clearly the antidote she longed for, but she did not move.
An Tingyu looked at him with a frown, "If flour can relieve my muscle weakness, I'll eat ten or twenty packets of it."
"Flour?" Feng Bei was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips in self-mockery. He raised his hand, grabbed the packet of so-called 'antidote' and threw it out the window. "What a brilliant chain of tricks! It seems I've been completely fooled by this brat Fu Mo, but I didn't expect him to even anticipate this step."
He was asked to watch An Tingyu, blocked outside the city gate, and given a packet of fake antidote. It seemed that Fu Mo was determined to assassinate Long Xunyi today. At this moment, Feng Beijian finally believed An Tingyu's words completely, and finally realized the seriousness of the matter, because Fu Mo was definitely not joking.
An Tingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Then we can only force our way in, rush through."
Feng Beijian's originally calm eyes suddenly became sharp, his sharp pupils emitting a coldness, "Then go ahead!"
As soon as the words fell, the guards who were originally sitting next to the coachman and Feng Beijian in the carriage immediately jumped out of the carriage, guarding the front of the carriage and clearing the way for An Tingyu...
