Chapter 441

Qinfang Pavilion.

The carved gilt window was half open, and Wen xueluo leaned on the couch. Her dark hair was scattered at will, setting off her small face pale and haggard. As soon as Huo Yan came in, he saw her staring out of the window with her big eyes open, with tears on her face.

Wen xueluo looked at him coming in, quickly wiped away the tears on her face and smiled at him: "you're back..."

Huo Yan took her in his arms, patted her on the shoulder and asked softly, "well, why are you crying again?"

"What? You read it wrong..." Wen xueluo said with a strong smile.

Huo Yan hugged her tightly and whispered, "don't hide it from me. The tears on your face haven't dried yet."

Wen xueluo was held in his arms and his warm breath lingered around him. Finally, she couldn't help crying: "I... I just miss home..."

Her identity can't be exposed. She can only stay alone in King Wei's house. She can't go back to Wen's house.

Huo Yan held her in a low voice and comforted: "tomorrow, I'll invite Duke Wen's family to come into the house for a chat..."

Wen xueluo just shook her head. She didn't want the bastards of the Wen family. She was obviously asking Huo Yan when she could go out to meet people as Princess Wei. She has long been tired of staying in the king's residence these days. She remembered that she could communicate and laugh with those noble women in the past. Now she can only hide in the king's residence of Wei alone and come from grief for a time.

But she can't say that to Huo Yanming. She can only insinuate and tentatively talk about Huo Yan's tone.

Huo Yan frowned slightly and stretched out his arm to hold Wen xueluo in his arms: "the day after tomorrow is the fourth day of May. Your majesty is giving a banquet in the palace. I'll take you with me."

She finally saw the sun and didn't have to hide in the house anymore? Wen xueluo's face was happy. Naturally, there was no need to ask questions later. Since ah Yan brought her into the palace, the later things must have been arranged. She just needs to be ready to enjoy the honor of Princess Wei.

On the fourth day of May, it was a fine day with beautiful weather and clear sky. Early in the morning, Huo Yan sent housekeeper Chen to say that his Majesty was giving a banquet in the palace, and imperial concubine Lin was also on the invited list.

Lin Yao let his maidservants dress her up, changed into a crimson soft smoke Luo yarn skirt, and combed her black and supple hair into the most popular Wangxian bun. Before going out, housekeeper Chen looked at her nervously, trying to stop talking. Of course, Lin Yao knows what he wants to say. Housekeeper Chen naturally hopes that he won't annoy Huo Yan.

When she was full, she would provoke the evil star. Housekeeper Chen's worry was superfluous.

Since that day, it has been more than a month. Lin Yao picked up Huo Yan again, which he hadn't seen for days. If not for the banquet, the palace indicated that she was the side imperial concubine to participate in the palace, she probably still had no chance to see Huo Yan. Huo Yanchang was very handsome and gentle, but Lin Yao saw his ruthlessness at a glance.

To her surprise, standing next to Huo Yan was Wen xueluo in full dress. Wen xueluo wore a luxurious wide sleeved fairy skirt, and the little bird stood beside Huo Yan. They looked like a pair of beautiful people.

Wen xueluo smiled politely at her, but Lin Yao ignored her. She was too lazy to have half a relationship with Wen xueluo, and she was too lazy to play in front of Huo Yan.

Huo Yan really looked at her coldly, and his sight inadvertently stopped at the sleeve of her right hand. Lin Yao doesn't care about his coldness. If Huo Yan staged the drama of "deep sisterhood" with Wen xueluo in front of Huo Yan, I don't know what Huo Yan would suspect she would do to Wen xueluo.

Lin Yao walked towards the back of the first carriage, but tragically found that there was no place for her in the carriage behind. Housekeeper Chen smiled awkwardly and came forward: "Mrs. Lin, you and Mrs. Wen should sit with the Lord together."

Huo Yan and Wen xueluo sat on the soft ground together in the exquisite carved carriage. Lin Yao reluctantly got on the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was very big, so she simply chose a place far away from the two people to sit down. It was boring. She closed her eyes and slept, thinking that Huo Yan dared to take Wen xueluo into the Palace this time. There must be a good play in the palace today. Thinking about it , she leaned against the car wall and slowly fell asleep.

Wen xueluo was a little uneasy. She snuggled up in Huo Yan's arms and blinked uneasily: "ah Yan, today..."

Huo Yan patted her on the back: "don't be afraid, everything has me." but his sight fell on the woman who was sleeping heavily in the corner. A sense of anger filled her mind. She could sleep! She was still sleeping so heavily!

Lin Yao did sleep heavily. It was about the stability of the carriage. When she woke up, the carriage had gone to Sima road outside the palace.

Lin Yao rubbed his eyes blearily, and looked out of the window in a trance. A cold look glanced at her, and Huo Yan's cold voice came in his ear: "what a system!"

Lin Yao smiled faintly. It was estimated that he disliked her for sleeping as soon as she got on the bus, and didn't bring him and Wen xueluo tea or water. She trimmed her slightly messy hair, adjusted the wrinkles on her skirt, and got off the bus behind her.

She thought it was the emperor's family dinner. Unexpectedly, it was not only the princes and grandchildren in the capital, but also the princes and envoys of other countries who were hostages in the capital. Dasheng's national strength was strong, and other small countries respected Dasheng and did not hesitate to send protons to repair with Dasheng all the way in order to get Dasheng's protection.

Wen xueluo looked around curiously, but Lin Yao only lowered his eyes and tried to keep a low profile.

She has no interest in these foreign princes or nobles, let alone Wen xueluo's intention to make a big show at the party.

The eunuch seemed to whisper something back to Huo Yan, who frowned. That was the eunuch next to Huo Zheng. He was ordered to tell the king of Wei that his Majesty was tripped by the imperial concubine and could not come for a while and a half. Please invite his Highness the king of Wei to preside over the banquet first.

Because the emperor used the name of family banquet, the seats at today's banquet were very casual. Dozens of tables did not form a large ellipse. Naturally, the top was the emperor's seat, while Huo Yan sat in the first position on the left, and others sat on the ground.

It's sunny today. The water in the garden is gradually flowing and the flowers are in full bloom. It's a grand scene. Lin Yao looked around and found it interesting. Huo Yan was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. Today, he just wanted huozheng to give Wen xueluo to him as his imperial concubine in front of the public. Huozheng didn't show up. Naturally, he was not interested in hosting any banquet.

Huo Yan waved lazily and motioned to everyone to help himself.

At the beginning, they were quite cautious and dared not make a mistake in front of the king of Wei. It can be seen that Huo Yan really didn't care much, and gradually let go of his hands and feet.

The foreign princes took a lot of dancers with them. When they were interested, they asked the dancers to come out and dance for fun. The childe brothers in the capital are naturally unwilling to fall behind and let the concubines around them come out to "fight and dance". For a time, people were dazzled by the dances of different styles. One of the barbarian dancers was gorgeous and enchanting. For a time, she surprised the whole audience, but she was in the limelight.

Just as the childe brothers in the capital lamented that their dancers were inferior to others, a piano suddenly sounded. Wen xueluo sat cross legged on the ground, put Jiao Weiqin on the table, and gently stroked the strings with her fingers.

She played the piano gently, and the barbarian dancer subconsciously danced with the music. The faster she plays, the faster the barbarian dancer jumps. It seems that her piano music guides the barbarian dancer to rotate and jump. For a time, Wen xueluo in the field became the focus of people's eyes. At the moment, the barbarian dancer is just the one who accompanies her piano sound in people's eyes.

At the end of the song, Wen xueluo nodded to the crowd and smiled silently. The shocked eyes naturally fell into Wen xueluo's eyes. She hasn't been so happy in front of the public for a long time.

An alien prince with strange clothes looked at Wen xueluo for a moment. Wen xueluo was a little unhappy by his straight eyes, but he still smiled and nodded with him.

"This girl is..." he asked in a daze.

"She is Princess Wei." a cold voice came from above, and everyone was stunned. The woman with wonderful piano sound was admitted by his Highness the king of Wei as her own imperial concubine? I don't know which woman is so lucky.

Wen xueluo was overjoyed, but her face was a little shy: "the little girl's surname is Wen. She is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wen."

Last name Wen? The alien prince had a strange look on his face and muttered to himself. A flash of cold flashed across his cuff.

His country has long been a vassal of Dasheng, but his mother died in the hands of Duke Wen in his early years.

The alien Prince lowered his eyes and quietly approached Wen xueluo when people were unprepared. Lin Yao was holding up his wine glass and drinking sweet fruit wine. He saw that the alien Prince just now had a sharp knife in his hand, and the dazzling cold light stabbed Wen xueluo directly.

Wen xueluo has long been frightened and looks pale. Lin Yaoshun takes the dishes on the table and is ready to throw them at the man. However, he finds that Huo Yan has jumped up quickly, hugging Wen xueluo's body and facing the back clothes, which can avoid the attack of the sword tip.

Someone in armor rushed in outside, probably hearing something inside. Surprisingly, the weapons in the hands of these people stabbed Huo Yan.

An assassin got in!

Huo Yan held Wen xueluo in his hand and was able to repel several assassins freely. One of the assassins missed and stabbed Lin Yao with a sword in his hand. Lin Yao subconsciously hid behind, but behind her was a hard wall. She had nowhere to escape.

The sword didn't fall on her after all. Huo Yan cut off the assassin's head with a backhand sword, which was simple and rough. Lin Yao was slightly stunned, so he grabbed his collar and took out the attack range of the sword light.

He's going to rush out with Wen xueluo and himself?

Even if Huo Yan has excellent martial arts, it is inconvenient to carry two burdens. Lin Yuan hid behind him and saw him beat back the assassin with one sword after another, but a dark red gradually seeped out of his arm. The sword just now cut his arm after all.

She suddenly felt a little soft hearted. Even though he was calm and excellent in martial arts, he couldn't last long under such circumstances. If she hadn't poisoned him at the beginning, maybe he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

The assassin's attack became more and more fierce. One of them stabbed Huo Yan straight into his heart while Huo Yan was entangled by the other two. Huo Yan could see it, but his sword was entangled by the sword array of other assassins.

Lin Yao subconsciously grabbed the blade of the sharp sword. The sharp blade cut a deep wound in her hand, and blood poured out.

She bent down in pain. Huo Yan grabbed her and killed an assassin with a sword. He turned his head and asked her, "how are you?"

Lin Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly at himself.

Huo Yan hesitated for a moment. After all, he still hugged Wen xueluo tightly, turned to her and said in a deep voice, "go northwest!"

Lin Yao was slightly stunned, but he saw that he had jumped out of the assassin's encirclement with Wen xueluo and left her here alone.

In the case of saving only one person, he undoubtedly chose Wen xueluo.

Most of the assassins followed Huo Yan's footsteps. Lin Yao endured the sharp pain in his palm and went to the northwest desperately. Fortunately, the target of these assassins was not her. Coupled with the chaos, she really escaped smoothly.

Lin Yao trotted all the way to the northwest corner of Neiyuan. He didn't dare to stop all the way. Until there was no voice around, she slowed down, leaned against the scarlet palace wall, gasped, and looked down at her bloody right hand.

Her hand had long been unconscious. The knife almost crossed her whole palm. The wound was bleeding, but Lin Yao didn't feel pain. Her mind was blank and she just walked forward slowly with consciousness.

Who is more important, she or Wen xueluo, is a matter of no choice. Lin Yao lowered his eyes and looked at the bright red on his palm, with a bitter smile on his lips. She shouldn't be sad at all, but why is the pain in her eyes more and more unbearable?

She wandered for half her life and suffered a lot. She finally found ah Xuan. Finally, she gradually moved and wanted to stay with him, take care of her brother, have children and serve her husband. If life can go on like this, it is also a happy thing.

But everything she has is so vulnerable. That person is not her husband. She is just a humble concubine around him. The woman he really loves has returned to him, and his heart has lost her place.

She wanted to leave, but he refused. Will she stay in the house forever for the rest of her life and live a life of being despised and trampled on?

The sky was suddenly cloudy, and it rained heavily in a moment. Lin Yaoshen ran along the wall on the official road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. There was only the sound of falling rain around. Her shoes had been soaked, and the wound on her hand was soaked in rain, which was painful. She kept running forward. She wanted to go back alive. Ah Xuan couldn't live without her.

I don't know how long I ran. Suddenly there was a voice in front of me. Lin Yuan was a joy at first, and then subconsciously hid. She didn't know whether the person who came was Huo Yan's or an assassin. She didn't dare to ask for help.

The sound in front of me was indistinctly heard through the rain curtain. Lin Yuan hid behind a small pavilion and looked at it from a distance. He only felt that the figure looked familiar through the heavy rain.

Is it... Song Shen?

Song Shen was talking to a man who looked like an official. They seemed to have a fierce argument. When they were excited, song Shen pulled out a long sword around his waist and put it on the man's neck.

The man looked at him with a sneer, a look of no worry.

Lin Yao wanted to hear what they said, but he couldn't hear a word clearly. Song Shen seemed to want to leave angrily. The man beside him didn't stop him, but watched him go away.

"My Lord, there's a woman here!" Lin Yao trembled slightly. No, she was found!

She subconsciously shouted, "general song!"

Song Shen paused and looked back unbelievably. Lin Yao was afraid that he would lose the only life-saving straw. Regardless of the cold arrow cluster behind him, he aimed at himself and chased out a few steps in his direction.

Song Shen finally saw her, his face changed slightly, and hurried forward to protect her behind him.

Just now, the official facing song Shen's sword suddenly looked over with a smile: "this lady is... The family member of the king of Wei?"

Lin Yao subconsciously wants to promise, but his body suddenly shakes. This man is facing the sword of song Shenming and Mingdu. Why can song Shen retreat? What is their... Relationship?

She seems to remember that song Shen's father and brother were important officials relied on by the emperor. Only song Shen followed Huo Yan in the whole family. That's what they really

Lin Yao's body trembled slightly. Her uninjured left hand originally grabbed a corner of song Shen's cloak, but she released her hand in a daze.

What were they saying just now? She didn't hear a word, but

Song Shen won't believe it, and the man in front of him won't believe it. If what they just said is about hundreds of lives in the Song family

Neither song Shen nor the person in front of him can leave her alive. Only killing her is the safest.

Across the rain curtain, Lin Yao even clearly saw the killing intention on the face opposite. She subconsciously wants to escape, but here has been surrounded by them. Where can she escape?

It seemed that he felt the trembling of the people behind him. Song Shen frowned back and slowly pulled out the long sword around his waist. Lin Yao closed his eyes in despair.

The long sword pointed to the man opposite. The man was stunned at first, then his face was angry and whispered, "do you want the whole family to bury you?"

What they have just said is enough to bring disaster to the whole family, and must not be heard by a third person.

Song Shen smiled coldly and said, "she can't hear anything from so far away. If you're afraid of death, you shouldn't do such a thing!"

He never expected that his brother would be so bold, and the Imperial Palace would dare to assassinate the king of Wei under the guise of the emperor's famous doctor! If this matter is exposed, the whole song family will face disaster.

The woman in front of him was the side imperial concubine of the king of Wei, but song Shen chose to protect Lin Yao without hesitation.

Song Xu looked at Song Shen mercilessly. After all, he still couldn't kill his brother. Holding a long sword, song Shen protected Lin Yao and slowly retreated to the dead corner of the arrow vibration. After saying "offending", he carried Lin Yao on his back, used his lightness skills and jumped onto the wall.
