Chapter 55： caught on the spot (1)

"Of course, this is just my guess, but Seventh Brother has always been very strategic in his work. This time, he has gone out of line. He is not as calm as usual. So, I guess that maybe he is stimulated by you." The anger gradually subsided, and after she calmed down, she realized that she was abnormal, so she stopped all actions." Xuanyuan Qing thought for a moment, and then said slowly.

What she said is not unreasonable. After all, in order to chase a woman, it is a bit too exaggerated to go through such a lot of trouble, even using the Imperial Forest Army.

Moreover, no matter what, the Royal Forest Army is used to protect the safety of the emperor. Although the capital is still calm now, the emperor will not need it for a while, but he can't find a woman every day, or Xuanyuanye suddenly realizes Arrived, so stopped.

"Is it possible?" Meng Fuying's eyes flickered, and she murmured again. She had to admit that Xuanyuan Qing's analysis was correct, and she also felt that Xuanyuan Ye was really too much for her. After that, it is normal to stop.

After seven days and seven nights of searching with great fanfare, those Imperial Forest Army might have been tossed miserably by him, not to mention, he also ordered to search the palaces of those ministers, the ministers in the court will definitely have opinions, after all, no one Secrets or something, after being searched by him like this, he must have found some shady things.

Although the emperor dotes on him very much, he can't ignore the anger of the public and let him do whatever he wants.

So, no matter from which perspective, Xuanyuan Ye's withdrawal is reasonable.

However, she always felt that something was wrong, it seemed a little too sudden, and, in the past few days of confrontation, she had fully understood Xuanyuan Ye's strength and his insidiousness, so it was hard to guarantee that he would play out again. What a bad move, maybe it's another conspiracy of his.

Maybe a trap was set up for her to throw herself into it.

Meng Fuying's eyes suddenly widened, waiting for her to throw herself into the trap! At this moment, she suddenly thought of a possibility - an empty city plan.

Will that man play an empty trick to lure her into the bait?

According to his insidiousness, it is absolutely possible.

Ha ha. Meng Fuying's lips curled into a slight smile, trying to deceive her was not so easy.

Having figured it out, Meng Fuying continued to eat quickly.

Xuanyuan Qing froze for a moment, then asked again, "What are your plans? Are you going out of town?"

In Xuanyuan Qing's mind, Xuanyuan Ye is the best, so Xuanyuan Qing will never associate the word sinister with Xuanyuan Ye.

The Seventh Brother in her mind is open and aboveboard in everything he does.

"Not going out." Meng Fuying replied while eating, only a fool would go out at this time.

"Why, everyone has already withdrawn." Xuanyuan Qing was a little surprised. Although she was safe here and would not be discovered for a while, Meng Fuying hid in the secret passage every day. Come out at night to get some air. There was no light at all.

It is not good for the body if it goes on like this for a long time.

Moreover, she also knew that Meng Fuying had always wanted to go out of the city, and wanted to venture into the rivers and lakes by herself. In fact, she also wanted to go out of the city very much, to breathe the free air.

She still thought about letting Meng Fuying take her out of the city, so when she heard Meng Fuying's words, she was faintly disappointed.

"I said, lovely Qing'er, don't imagine your Seventh Brother to be too perfect, he is more negative than anyone else when he plays bad moves." Meng Fuying naturally understood her thoughts, she glanced at her mouth slightly, slightly Said with dissatisfaction.

"You mean, this is a deliberate scheme by Seventh Brother?" Xuanyuan Qing opened her eyes slightly and asked in astonishment.

"It's at least eighty percent possible." Meng Fuying swallowed another mouthful of rice and said vaguely. Of course, she wasn't completely sure, but the possibility was at least eighty percent.

Xuanyuan Qing didn't speak any more, she seemed to be thinking about this problem, Meng Fuying was still eating quickly, but she was thinking secretly, what should she do next?

After all, although it is safe here, it is not a long-term solution. In the past two days, she felt that she was about to get moldy.

She only hoped that Xuanyuanye would make that empty strategy, wait a few days, and if she didn't show up, she would give up, and then she would leave again.

"Then what should we do now? Should we continue to wait?" Xuanyuan Qing might have figured it out, and felt that possibility. He looked at Meng Fuying again and asked softly. In the darkness, Meng Fuying's face could not be seen clearly, but she was still eating quickly.

"Well, let's wait a few days before we talk about it. Anyway, there's no rush." ​​Meng Fuying smiled slightly. If you want to talk about being anxious, Xuanyuanye is definitely more anxious than she is now.

"Well, that's fine, but when you go out of the city, you must take me with you." Xuanyuan Qing nodded slightly, but suddenly made her astonishing request.

Meng Fuying's movements stopped abruptly, and a piece of chicken that happened to be in her mouth was stuck in her throat forcibly, and she couldn't get up or down. For a moment, her entire face was flushed red. So scary.

They really are brother and sister, last time Xuanyuan Ye almost scared her to death, this time it was Xuanyuan Qing.

Quickly picked up the breast at hand, took a sip of tea, and then swallowed the mouthful of chicken.

Then he exhaled heavily, "My aunt, do you want your life? Take you out? I can't protect myself now, and if I take you up again, are you afraid that your seventh brother won't find us?"

"Let's just be careful, and wait a few more days, Brother Qi won't be watching so closely, and then we'll go out again." Xuanyuan Qing obviously planned it long ago.

"No way." Meng Fuying rejected it without thinking. She is running for her life now, not going out to play.

The crime of escaping marriage is already serious enough, and if you want to abduct a princess, then she will have ten heads that are not enough to chop off.

"If you don't agree, I'll tell Brother Seven right now." Xuanyuan Qing blinked slightly, and said nastyly.

"Xuanyuan Qing." Meng Fuying shouted angrily, with obvious threats in her voice.

"Okay, this time, you don't have to take me back, but after you leave the palace and are safe, you must let me know, and then help me sneak out of the palace, isn't that too much?" Seeing her who was a little out of breath, Xuanyuan Qing chuckled slightly, and then said her plan word by word.

Meng Fuying was taken aback for a moment, then stared straight at Xuanyuan Qing with a pair of eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "F*ck, they really are brother and sister, equally sinister."

However, thinking that this girl is in the palace every day, she is really going crazy. When she goes out, if it is really safe, she can consider taking this girl out when Xuanyuanye no longer chases her. rush.

"Well, this can be considered." Slightly nodded, Meng Fuying responded softly.

"Really, you agreed. If you slip your words when the time comes, you will be punished by God." Xuanyuan Qing hurriedly said with excitement on her face when she heard Meng Fuying agreed.

Punishment? The corner of Meng Fuying's lips twitched fiercely, this girl really had the same black belly as her brother.

One day, two days, three days...

Meng Fuying still hid in the passage during the day, and only came out to eat at night, and then got some air by the way.

After another seven days, there was no movement at all.

"Brother Seven hasn't moved at all these days. It seems that he has completely forgotten about you. I think he really gave up. It's not a trap, and even if it is a trap, he might withdraw after such a long time. "In the evening, after Meng Fuying came out, Xuanyuan Qing discussed with her in a low voice.

Xuanyuan Qing has been paying attention to the situation outside the past few days, but she didn't dare to inquire about it openly. It's just that people can mix in the crowd to see the situation and listen to the words of the people, so that they can understand the general situation. .

Meng Fuying slowly gnawed at the steamed bun in her hand, her eyes were obviously pensive.

It's been seven days, seven days is enough to wear out a person's patience, seven days is enough to expose his trap, but there has been nothing unusual in these seven days.

Or Xuanyuan Ye has really given up.

When the word    flashed into his mind again, Meng Fuying's chewing movement froze slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hey, I'm asking you something, why are you in a daze?" Seeing that she was silent, Xuanyuan Qing just stared at the table in a daze, and touched her slightly.

"En?" Meng Fuying seemed to have regained consciousness just now, looked at her quickly, and asked subconsciously, "What?"

"I said, are you a little disappointed because Brother Qi gave up and stopped looking for you?" Xuanyuan Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled half-truthfully.

"Cut, nervous." Meng Fuying gave her a hard look, "I don't have masochistic delusions, I'm just wondering if I'm really safe now."

She's not crazy, Xuanyuan Ye doesn't look for her anymore, but she's in love, and she's disappointed, how disappointed?

"Oh." Xuanyuan Qing responded for a long time, with a deliberate sudden realization, the words paused slightly, and then added again, "Then do you think it is safe now?"

"It should be almost the same." Meng Fuying gave her a hard look once again when she heard her eccentric tone, and then said in a low voice, "However, to be on the safe side, we still have to wait a few more days."

Although according to common sense, it should be regarded as safe now, but after all, his opponent is not ordinary people, but Xuanyuan Ye, so, for extraordinary people, he must be very careful.

"Well, it's fine, but I'm just afraid that if you keep hiding, you will turn into a white-haired monster." Xuanyuan Qing's words were slightly low, although Meng Fuying always came out at night, she couldn't see Meng Fu clearly. She looked like a shadow, but thought that Meng Fuying hadn't seen the sun for half a month.

I heard that if you don’t see the sun for a long time, your hair will turn white, and the hair on your whole body will turn white. I don’t know if it’s true.

"It's better that way, and it saves you from changing your face." Meng Fuying said disapprovingly. She naturally understood Xuanyuan Qing's worry, but she didn't turn into a white-haired monster within ten days.

However, if you continue to stay, it's really uncertain.

"In the past few days, go and help me prepare some things, find a set of clothes worn by an old man in his sixties or seventies, and then find a pair of white beards. Find some white dye." Meng Fuying's eyes flickered slightly. , said in a low voice again, Xuanyuan Qing's words gave her a sudden idea.

Last time, although she was wearing men's clothes, she was always close in age, so it was easier to arouse Xuanyuan Ye's suspicion. This time, she dressed as an old man.

"Ah!" Xuanyuan Qing opened her eyes slightly, opened her mouth wide, and said excitedly, "Do you still know how to disguise yourself? Do you want to disguise yourself as an old man?"

"Well, remember to be careful when you go looking for it, so you don't get caught." Meng Fuying warned with a little worry, there are too many people talking in this palace, it's too dangerous.

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry about my work." Xuanyuan Qing replied confidently.

The next day, Xuanyuan Qing followed Meng Fuying's instructions to search for it. Because she was afraid of being found out, she didn't dare to let other people look for it, so she did it herself.

It is relatively easy to find a set of men's clothing, but the white beard and white dye are really hard to find in this palace.

Because in this palace, except for the father, everyone has no beard, so she can't cut father's beard, right? And the father's beard is not white.

Xuanyuan Qing couldn't think of a way for a while, she could only turn around slowly in the palace, hoping to find what she was looking for, turned to a wall screen, and when she saw the pattern of galloping horses on it, her eyes flashed suddenly .

Yes, I can’t find a beard, so I use a ponytail instead. Isn’t the white ponytail similar to that beard?

Xuanyuan Qing became more and more excited as she thought about it, she was so smart, she quickly came to the stable, and there was her father's horse, which happened to be white.

It's just that although she is brave, she doesn't dare to pluck the hair on the pony's tail.

"See the princess." The guard who was in charge of the horses saw Xuanyuan Qing was slightly startled, and then saluted again and again, "I don't know if the princess arrived suddenly, what instructions do you have?"

"It's like this. I heard that the ponytail is very flexible and light. I've been embroidering some interesting things recently. I want to borrow a few ponytails to adjust the thread." Xuanyuan Qing's eyes flickered Shan, said without blushing and panting.

"Want a ponytail?" The guard was stunned, and the corners of his lips seemed to twitch a few times, asking for a ponytail to embroider, which was really unheard of.

However, that was what the princess said, and he didn't have the guts to refute it.

"Yes, you can cut some for the princess." Xuanyuan Qing said quite naturally.

"Okay, the little one is going to the princess to cut it." There are a total of six horses in this stable, and they are all high-quality horses. Although they are all used by princes, it doesn't hurt to cut a few hairs. He originally thought of cutting Xuanyuan Qing a few casually.

"Just use it, the white is pure and easy to match." Xuanyuan Qing suddenly stepped in front of the white horse, pointed with a slender hand, and said lightly.

The guard's expression was slightly startled, and he subconsciously said, "Princess, that is the emperor's horse, I'm afraid..."

"Oh, what are you talking about, isn't it just a few tails? Father and King don't know how to count its tails, and he won't find out. What are you afraid of? Hurry up and cut some tails for this princess. Let's do it." Xuanyuan Qing frowned slightly, put on the airs of a princess, and said impatiently.

"Let the little one do it." When the guard heard Xuanyuan Qing's words, he became anxious and asked the princess to cut it by herself. If the princess was injured, it would be troublesome, so let him do it.

Although he was a little worried, the guard still cut some pony tails for Xuanyuan Qing.

Xuanyuan Qing responded with satisfaction, and then walked towards her palace with a happy face.

Maybe it was because she was so proud that she didn't notice Concubine Rou who was walking towards her. She didn't realize until Concubine Rou came close to her. She was suddenly stunned, came back to her senses, and saluted again and again, "Qing'er here Concubine Rou, please greet me."

Subconsciously, he hid the ponytail in his hand behind his back. This should be the most instinctive reaction of people.

"What did Qing'er do here, are you very happy?" Concubine Rou asked softly with a loving face, looking at Xuanyuan Qing's eyes, there was also a smile.

"No, it's nothing? Just walk casually." Xuanyuan Qing was a little nervous, and answered again and again, but her hands hidden behind her were slightly tightened. If Concubine Rou found out, would she be suspicious?

If you doubt it, will you tell Seventh Brother? Although Seventh Brother seems to have calmed down now, but if Meng Fuying is caught, she will definitely not let it go easily, so she can't expose Meng Fuying.

"Hehe..." Concubine Rou couldn't help chuckling, "What's wrong with you child, why are you so nervous when you see Bengong, what are you holding in your hand? I'm afraid that Bengong will see it ?”

Xuanyuan Qing was slightly stunned. Hearing Concubine Rou's words, she slightly suppressed the tension in her heart, and tried her best to restore herself to her usual spontaneity.

She is so nervous at the moment, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here? The more nervous she is, the more suspicious she is?

Concubine Rou is very simple, she shouldn't think of it too much, so she let her see it openly, I believe Concubine Rou will not think of going anywhere else.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Qing smiled slightly, then walked in front of Concubine Rou, and handed the ponytail in her hand to Concubine Rou, "Qing'er went to find a few ponytails, I heard that the effect of ponytails is particularly good for thread adjustment. , so Qing’er wants to try.” There was a slight pause, her eyes looked around slightly, and then she said mysteriously, “However, this pony tail was cut from the lightning of the father, so Qinger just dared not let Concubine Rou see it, but Qing'er knows that Concubine Rou is the kindest, and she will never tell her father, right?"

Xuanyuan Qing subtly lied about her nervousness just now.

Concubine Rou was stunned, her eyes looked at the ponytail in Xuanyuan Qing's hand, the smile on her face stagnated for a while, but then she smiled again, "You girl, you are just playful, you are so big, you have not yet A positive type."

"Hehe..." Xuanyuan Qing smiled disapprovingly, and did not forget to ask again, "Concubine Rou must keep Qing'er a secret, and you must not tell my father."

"Okay, I know." Concubine Rou shook her head slightly, and said with a little helplessness.

"Qing'er knew that Concubine Rou was the kindest." Xuanyuan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a touch of emotion, "Then Qing'er will go back first."

"Well, you go back." Concubine Rou nodded slightly, and said with a chuckle again, seeing Xuanyuan Qing slowly going away, the smile on her face also slowly dissipated.

"Your Majesty, you said that this princess is really messing around, and she actually did something like this." Seeing Xuanyuan Qing leave, a maid next to Concubine Rou said in a low voice.

"She is a princess, when will it be your turn to talk?" Concubine Rou frowned slightly, and looked at the maid beside her with some dissatisfaction, her voice sounded a bit reprimanded, but it was still gentle.

"I know I'm wrong." The maid said repeatedly, lowering her head slightly. I thought to myself that my master is kind and kind-hearted, and he never talks nonsense about human affairs, and he always treats people sincerely.

"Let's go, let's go back." Her voice regained its usual softness, and then continued to walk forward.

Returned to the Soft Heart Palace, but unexpectedly saw Xuanyuan Ye sitting in the hall.

"Ye'er, why are you here? Why didn't someone inform the concubine mother, but sat here and waited?" Seeing Xuanyuan Ye, Concubine Rou's face suddenly burst into a chuckle, and she walked in quickly .

"I just came to see my mother and concubine, nothing happened." Xuanyuan Ye replied softly. At this moment, the usual coldness on his face disappeared a lot, and his voice was also rare and soft.

"Mother Concubine heard that you no longer let people look for Ms. Meng, is it true?" After hearing his words, Concubine Rou became more gentle on her face, and said softly.

"Well, I didn't look for it anymore." Xuanyuan Ye was stunned for a moment, and then answered slowly.

"Since she doesn't want to marry, she can't come if she can't do it, so you let her go free, and you don't have to worry about it." Concubine Rou seemed to flicker when she heard his affirmative answer, and then she spoke softly again Said.

That meant that Xuanyuanye let Meng Fuying go, and stopped pursuing Meng Fuying's affairs, which was regarded as pleading for Meng Fuying.

"What the concubine mother said is true, I know." Xuanyuan Ye's hands hidden under his clothes seemed to tighten slightly, but he responded very obediently.

Regarding Concubine Rou's words, he is indeed too obedient, so obedient that he seems to be a little less assertive, and it seems that it does not fit his personality. He usually dares to defy the emperor's words.

After Xuanyuan Qing returned to her bedroom, she dismissed all the maids and said with a little fatigue, "This princess is a little tired and wants to rest, you all go out."

"Yes." The maids responded in a low voice, and then backed out again and again.

After they all left, Xuanyuan Qing closed the door, got on the bed quickly, put down the curtain outside the bed, and then opened the curtain inside, opened the mechanism, and shouted in a low voice, "Ying'er, I have already put the curtain on the bed." The beard is found, take a look."

While speaking, he passed the pony tail in, because Xuanyuan Ye hadn't made any movement these days, so Xuanyuan Qing was a little bold, and dared to open the mechanism during the day.

Meng Fuying slowly moved a little distance away, then stretched out her hand, and took the 'beard' over, but her person was not in front, so Xuanyuan Qing still didn't see her face .

"Is this a beard?" Meng Fuying asked in a low voice as soon as she took the thing. This girl, when she was a three-year-old child, dared to lie to her, "Tell me, what exactly is this?"

"Hehe... I didn't expect that you would find it all at once. In fact, it is a ponytail, but it is not much different from a beard. For a while, I really didn't know where to find the beard, and it was too obvious. Afraid of causing suspicion." Xuanyuan Qing smiled awkwardly and explained again and again.

Meng Fuying also knew that what she said was correct, and when she touched the pony tail, it was indeed similar to a beard. Although the top part was a bit hard, the bottom part was very similar, so as long as the top part was cut off, it should be There is no problem.

"Well, then you go and wash it off first." Meng Fuying said a little sullenly, she was going to stick this thing on her face, and when she thought it was on a horse's butt, she felt a little disgusted.

"Okay, okay, I'll let someone wash it in a while, I said you have been in it for so long, and you haven't seen the sun, why don't you come out to shine, let it shine through." Xuanyuan Qing suggested in a low voice , she was really afraid that Meng Fuying would turn into a white-haired monster inside.

Meng Fuying was startled for a moment, thinking about whether to let Xuanyuan Qing know what she was doing at this moment, when she suddenly heard some messy footsteps coming from outside, and then she heard the panicked voice of the palace maid, "Slave to Concubine Rou My lady, please greet me."

Xuanyuan Qing and Meng Fuying were startled, why did Concubine Rou come here suddenly?

"Where's the princess?" Concubine Rou's voice was still soft, but at the moment when she heard Meng Fuying's ears, she felt an inexplicable chill.

"The princess said she was tired and was resting." A court lady said in a low voice, and then added a little courteously, "This servant will inform the princess right now."

"No need, I'll go in and see what's wrong with her." Concubine Rou's soft voice was filled with obvious concern, and then she walked towards Xuanyuan Qing's room.

Xuanyuan Qing quickly pressed the switch, closed the passage, and hastily lowered the bed curtain. Before she could get out of bed, the door of the room was pushed open, and Concubine Rou had already walked in.

"Qing'er pays respects to Concubine Rou." Xuanyuan Qing got up quickly, got out of bed, and saluted repeatedly.

"What's wrong with Qing'er? Are you uncomfortable?" Concubine Rou gently helped her up and asked worriedly.

"No, just turned around a few times, I'm a little tired, I want to lie down." Xuanyuan Qing stood up slowly with her gentle support, and smiled slightly.

Concubine Rou seemed to be slightly relieved, "It's fine." But her eyes were looking at the clothes on Xuanyuan Qing's body. Seeing her neat clothes, she slightly annoyed, "You girl, don't even wear clothes when you rest. Don't take it off, and when you get up, is this dress still decent?"

"Hehe, in my bedroom, I didn't pay much attention there. Qing'er has always been used to it." Xuanyuan Qing froze for a moment, then explained with a light smile.

It's just that Meng Fuying, who was hiding inside, was slightly startled when she heard Concubine Rou's words. Was Concubine Rou's words really just unintentional?

"You girl, you are really careless. You want to rest, why don't you even cover yourself with the quilt?" When Concubine Rou looked at the bed, she frowned slightly again, and said with a little worry, "What if you catch a cold?" what should I do?"

It's just that when the eyes were looking at the bed, they stayed for a moment before looking at Xuanyuan Qing again.

"No, it's already summer now, so I won't catch a cold." Only then did Xuanyuan Qing realize that she was too anxious just now, and she didn't even open the quilt at all. However, she turned around very quickly, and explained again and again .

Meng Fuying was shocked again, isn't Concubine Rou's temperament extremely simple? How can you observe in such detail?

Is it really just because you are worried about Xuanyuan Qing?

"Hey." Concubine Rou sighed softly, "You girl, it's just so worrying." Her voice was full of distress.

"Qing'er will definitely pay attention in the future, and won't let the empress worry." Xuanyuan Qing's voice was obviously a little more moved, and then helped Concubine Rou to sit on the chair.
