seniors please be careful

Chapter 40 Qi Xiyue

Sleeping against the wall in the corridor hut for the night, both of them felt sore backs.Ye Muchen was fine, at least Lu Tianqi would serve as a quilt and mattress for him.Lu Tianqi was not so lucky, leaning his back against the wall, holding Ye Muchen in his arms, he was hurt by the wall, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing Ye Muchen's dream.When I got up the next day, I called out pitifully, "Senior, my back hurts so badly, senior, rub it for me. Half of my arm is numb, and I'm going to be disabled."

Ye Mu turned around angrily, and stared fiercely.Lu Tianqi trembled immediately, and remained silent like a cicada.

Ye Muchen turned back, and Lu Tianqi was so bold that he muttered: "Before, he helped him and didn't help me, but now he's pissing me off."

"Oh? Who did I help?" Ye Muchen spoke coldly with a faint smile.

Lu Tianqi said straightforwardly: "Didn't you help Lu Ziyi bully me in Fanshan?"

Ye Mu sighed, it was indeed his fault.Just as he was thinking about whether to apologize honestly, he was patted lightly on the shoulder. Lu Tianqi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I got it back after teasing you all the way."

Only now did Ye Muchen know that Lu Tianqi's strange behavior after coming to the imperial capital was all because he helped Lu Ziyi.

Lu Tianqi was worried about Lu Ziye, he got there earlier and dug out the box, and buried it back again without finding anything unusual.He deliberately played tricks.When he arrived at the imperial capital, he specially sent a box over, and put a note in it in a cryptic manner.Then wait near the tree, jump out and tease him as soon as he sees himself, to vent his dissatisfaction.

Later, when they met at the inn, it was he who deliberately pretended to be a scholar and played the flute to lure himself into the bait.

Ye Muchen listened, and tapped his forehead with his fingers: "Satisfied now?"

Lu Tianqi took his evil hand, held it in his palm, and smiled at him: "Satisfied. Let's go, let's go back to the Immortal Emperor Palace."

With the pendant given by Lu Tianqi to heal his injuries, Ye Muchen healed completely.The two discussed it, first Ye Muchen would go back to the Immortal Emperor's Palace to inquire about news, while Lu Tianqi waited in the dark for an opportunity, and would come forward to protect whenever there was a situation.

Ye Muchen used the token to enter the Immortal Emperor's Palace, and walked towards his hut as if nothing had happened, as if the assassination last night was nothing more than a nightmare.

All the way was safe and sound, but when he walked near the side hall, a pink shadow suddenly jumped out from the dark place, a cold white light flickered in front of his eyes, and a sword rested on his neck.

Ye Muchen had already noticed her unusualness before, but now he was even more amazed in his heart, and only said: "What a nimble skill!"

The person who came was Qi Xiyue's personal maid Wan'er.She is still wearing a lotus root powder dress today, her face is delicate and pretty, but her eyes are red, obviously she has cried.Her sword rested on Ye Muchen's neck, and with a little force, his head would fall to the ground, but she remained motionless, only staring at him silently.

Ye Muchen knew that Lu Tianqi was protecting him secretly, so he met Wan'er's eyes and remained calm in the face of danger.

The atmosphere was stalemate for three breaths, Wan'er suddenly dropped the long sword, sat on the ground and burst into tears.Ye Muchen was stunned for a moment, only to hear the crisp sound of metal hitting the ground, and then he was stunned, and the little girl in front of him was already crying, and he asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

Wan'er cried and cried non-stop, wiped her tears and said: "Yuqing attacked you at night, and the second prince found out that she is going to execute her!"

Ye Muchen was surprised, but there was no emotion in his heart, he just said: "Follow me into the room first, and speak slowly."

Wan'er entered the room with him, and started talking non-stop as soon as she sat on the chair.

It turns out that both Wan'er and Yuqing have taken care of Qi Xiyue since they were in the General's Mansion.Qi Xiyue was an illegitimate child who had never been recognized and was not welcomed by both parties.The general's wife hated him, if she didn't dare to harm the emperor's heir, she would have strangled him to death in her infancy.Tianzun also despises him, because his name is not right, it is his own stain.

Qi Xiyue, however, was always proud of his status as a prince, and tried every means to enter the Immortal Emperor's Palace.Five years ago, a man in black suddenly came to his door and had a secret talk with Qi Xiyue.After that day, Tianzun recruited Qi Xiyue into the palace and arranged a side hall for him.

Their servants still called him the eldest son of Qi, but Qi Xiyue regarded himself as a prince and enjoyed it every day, only thinking that the day when he would be recognized by the Heavenly Venerable was not far away.Wan'er and Yuqing don't think so, and Tianzun's attitude has changed drastically. I am afraid that the recognition is false and the use is true.They didn't dare to say this to Qi Xiyue, so the two could only worry secretly.

A month ago, the man in black appeared again. They eavesdropped boldly and vaguely heard that the emperor was going to come with a distinguished guest surnamed Ye, asking Qi Xiyue to lead him to the altar in the back mountain.This matter cannot be done openly, it must be done secretly.After the matter is accomplished, Qi Xiyue's dream will come true and he will be firmly seated as the crown prince.

The more Qi Xi was overjoyed, he made preparations every day.He told Yuqing to arrange two people to go to the inn to collect the corpse. As long as Ye Muchen followed them, he would definitely reach the altar.It was disappointing, Ye Muchen did not follow, Qi Xiyue had no choice but to think of other ways to send the map of the altar, and then ordered Wan'er and Yuqing to bring cakes to wash him off, planning to share the map of the altar when thanking him. gift.Coincidentally, Ye Muchen happened to ask about the envoy, which caught Qi Xiyue in his arms.

Ye Muchen took the map away, Qi Xiyue only hoped that he would go to the altar sooner, but Yuqing and Wan'er were full of worries.The man in black said that Qi Xiyue would be allowed to sit on the crown prince after the matter was completed, which would be really good, but if he really had the heart to recognize his son, Tianzun would not have ignored him for several years.It is estimated that after the matter is done, the faster thing will be to kill people.

The two couldn't make up their minds, and agreed to wait and see what happened. If things changed, even if Qi Xiyue disagreed, they would tie him up and escape from the palace.Who would have thought that Yuqing, with his strong temper, would have the idea of ​​killing Ye Muchen and cutting off his plans.Yuqing was eager to protect her lord, and she had long hated the man in black who lied to Qi Xiyue, and even hated the "guest" in the mouth of the black man—that is, Ye Muchen.Only then did he act presumptuously at night, intending to kill him quickly.

At this point Wan'er burst into tears, she held Ye Muchen's hand and begged, "I know Yuqing treats you badly, but you are the only one who can save her now, can you persuade Mr. He doesn't want to kill Yuqing."

Ye Muchen felt angry when Yuqing chopped off his four fingers.Although Lu Tianqi's pendant healed his wounds and made him fully healed, but thinking of the viciousness of the other party's attack that night, his resentment was still hard to dissipate.Thinking about it now, he said: "I will remember this matter, and I will visit Mr. Qi later."

Wan'er opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she knew she was wrong, so she kept her mouth shut.Tears were rolling in her eyes, and she held back her tears and said, "Then Wan'er thanked Mr. Ye first." Knowing that there was little hope, she didn't want to force others to make things difficult, so when she walked to the door, she whispered: "Mr. Ye, what are you? Who..." Before Ye Muchen could answer, he opened the door and left.

Ye Muchen laughed at himself: "I'm no one, but I don't know why Lu Ziyao lured me to the altar." He had already equated Lu Ziye with the man in black when he heard what Wan'er said.The letter from Yong Dao clearly stated that Tianzun had teamed up with Lu Ziye and sent Qi Xiyue to help him secretly. If the man in black is not Lu Ziye, who else could it be?

Ye Muchen walked back to the bedroom, wanting to have a good rest.He had just suffered a sneak attack and was in the spotlight, so it would be safer to go to the palace to inquire again at night.As soon as he entered the inner room, Ye Muchen found that all the items were brand new, and there was no trace of fighting. It was obvious that Qi Xiyue called someone to clean them in advance.

After running around last night, coupled with the mental pressure, Ye Muchen was so exhausted that he fell asleep, and this time he slept until dusk and sunset.He got up and ate some dry food, sat in the house until it was completely dark, then changed into an inconspicuous outfit, and slipped out of the house.

Ye Muchen's destination tonight was still Qi Xiyue's bedroom. He had just passed the corner where he met Wan'er in the morning, and saw a familiar figure. Ye Muchen quickly hid in the dark and observed quietly.

I saw a graceful woman dressed in nocturnal black, jumping onto the eaves with lightness kung fu, walking in a hurry.She was wearing a black gauze, and a corner was blown by the breeze, revealing her hidden pretty face.Ye Muchen was startled suddenly, this person was Yuqing who assassinated him yesterday.According to Wan'er, she should have been captured by Qi Xiyue and imprisoned, waiting to be executed, how could she appear here?

Ye Muchen was suspicious, and followed all the way, wanting to see where Yuqing was going.

Followed all the way to a dilapidated courtyard, the weeds in the courtyard were ankle-deep, and the air of desolation rushed over.The red walls are mottled and the tiles are broken.Ye Muchen frowned and said: What kind of place is this?

He hid in the dark, not daring to make a sound.Seeing Yuqing walk into the courtyard, she pushed the door in the middle of the room to go in, followed behind, squatting outside the door, with her ears attached to the wooden door, eavesdropping on the movement inside.

Only a male voice said first: "How is the matter going?" The voice was low with a bit of arrogance, and one could tell it was Qi Xiyue.

A cold female voice sounded, and it was Yuqing who spoke: "Report to the prince. The subordinate has extracted and drawn the last map. The things are here."

The room was quiet for a while, Yuqing should have taken something out of her bosom and handed it over.Qi Xiyue was in high spirits, said "yes" three times in a row, and couldn't hide his excitement: "Father will definitely recognize me now! Yuqing, you have done a good job, those people from Shangxi Sect are useless and can be killed. "

Yuqing said: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, Yuqing has already done it." As soon as the words fell, there was only a muffled hum, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling down.Qi Xiyue called out anxiously: "Yuqing!" followed by a long sigh.It turned out that Yuqing committed suicide to keep a secret.

Ye Muchen was shocked when he heard it outside the door, and secretly sighed that although this woman was vicious, she was indeed loyal.The hatred for her cutting himself also disappeared.

Qi Xiyue was silent in the room for a long time, and then a burst of blue light came out of the paper window, presumably Qi Xiyue was using spiritual power to burn Yuqing's body.During half a cup of tea time, footsteps sounded, and Qi Xiyue walked towards the door.Ye Muchen hurriedly hid in the shadow of the corner, and saw a man in a golden dress coming out of the house, it was indeed Qi Xiyue.

Ye Muchen guessed that Qi Xiyue had obtained the map and would definitely meet Tianzun.He didn't dare to follow rashly, he was a little hesitant in his heart, but he was afraid that if he missed this good opportunity, the truth would be lost forever.After thinking for a while, holding the pendant around his neck, he still stepped up to follow.
