Su Leyao had friends, but Xu Rouzhi did not care about this matter. She did not care how Su Leyao fawned over the Eastern Palace. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, that's easy to understand.
Her concern was, "My … my two sisters, did you save me?"
Feng Qingmo nodded his head: "We have already settled them in a safe place, don't worry."
Xu Rouzhi heaved a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried. "Are they injured? "Why not bring them over?"
Feng Qingmo raised his head and glanced at her, "Right now, the people from the Madam Su are probably looking for you all. If we bring them here, the target would be too big.
Xu Rouzhi was not afraid of being implicated, speaking of this, she was the one who implicated Bi Su! However, if the Eastern Palace was truly involved in this matter, they definitely wouldn't let it go so easily. Bi Su and Pingfan not being by her side would instead be even safer.
She nodded and looked at Feng Qingmo: "Your injuries …. "How do you feel?"
"Thank you, esteemed wangfei, for saving us."
"Stop calling me Princess!"
— — It's good that this matter happened. It just so happened that there was no need to return to the Prince Qi Palace anymore. The matter regarding Chu Yixuan, had nothing to do with her anymore!
Feng Qingmo seemed to have noticed something and said: "Under the Xu’s Medical Center, I also met another group of people. Those people might be planning to rescue the wangfei. "
"Oh?" Xu Rouzhi was startled, "Who is it?"
"I don't know. It looked like they weren't from the Prince Qi Palace. However, they must be digging underground to save others! "
Xu Rouzhi wanted to ask, how do you know if those people were from the Prince Qi Palace? Thinking about how Feng Qingmo had been secretly paying attention to the Prince Qi Palace these past few days with regards to the Xu’s Medical Center, he probably knew a lot of guards in the Prince Qi Palace.
"You know the people from the Prince Qi Palace, then what secret do you know about the Prince Qi Palace?" she asked.
Feng Qingmo looked at her and chuckled: "I do not have any secrets of Prince Qi's Palace within my grasp, so this Princess Qi does not need to worry."
Xu Rouzhi coughed unnaturally. She wasn't concerned with Feng Qingmo having his secrets, what did it have to do with her.
Feng Qingmo leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, saying, "Esteemed wangfei, please sit for a while, I'll rest first. In a while, I'll go out and gather some information."
Asking for information? What news was he going to ask for?
Seeing that Feng Qingmo seemed to have slowly fallen asleep, Xu Rouzhi stood up and went to the window to take a look outside, but all she could see was a decaying courtyard, and other than that, she could not see anything else.
She was a little depressed as she sat back down by the fire. She wanted to tell Feng Qingmo to open the door and let her go, but Feng Qingmo seemed to be sleeping soundly, so she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Forget it, he was injured and needed to recover from his sleep. It was better to let him rest for a while.
For some reason, he fell asleep. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and realized that it was already night time. The fire beside him had already extinguished, and a gust of cold wind surrounded Xu Rouzhi. It was so cold, so cold!
Where was he? Where's Feng Qingmo?
"Feng Qingmo? Feng Qingmo... "
In the darkness, Xu Rouzhi called out to him uneasily, but she did not hear a response from him. Reaching out her hand, she felt that the place where Feng Qingmo had sat was actually already empty.
Xu Rouzhi was shocked, where was Feng Qingmo?
She got up in fright and pushed the door open! She turned around and looked at the dark little room behind him. Like the gloomy eyes of a ferocious beast, Xu Rouzhi subconsciously ran out from the room.
He didn't know where he was. It seemed like a street, but it was closed, and even the snow couldn't be seen in the darkness of the night.
What was going on? It was already the end of the year, so the night of the Ji City should be very lively.
On the street, it was pitch black. Occasionally, he would see two lanterns hung at the entrance of one or two houses. The lanterns lit up, flickering, and the lanterns were half lit. It seemed very strange. Occasionally, when a gust of wind blew past, the tree would shake, and a strange feeling would spread out endlessly.
Xu Rouzhi was clearly not such a timid person, but at this time, she was actually so nervous that all the hairs on her body stood up.
Where was this place?
Where exactly was the place that Feng Qingmo had brought her to hide? Where's Feng Qingmo? Had he gone to look for information? Why isn't he back yet?
Xu Rouzhi nervously tried to determine the direction, but there were no stars in the sky, there was no way for her to pinpoint the direction!
Supporting herself against the wall, she nervously walked in the darkness. Didn't Feng Qingmo say before that Su Leyao's people would definitely be looking for her around?
However, as he continued walking, he realized that he had reached a dead end. There were walls on three sides of him. There was no way out!
Damn it, why did they end up walking into a dead end alley?
Xu Rouzhi angrily turned around. A black shadow in front of her scared her so much that she almost jumped up!
"Who are you?" She tried her best to mask the nervousness in her tone as she subconsciously took two steps back.
The black shadow slowly appeared in front of him.
Borrowing the light from an unknown source, she could vaguely see that face. It was handsome and gloomy, with a noble aura of a king, — — It was Chu Yizhao.
Chu Yizhao? How could he appear in front of her alone? Did he have to do it himself if he wanted to kill her?
Sure enough, Chu Yizhao said coldly: "Xu Rouzhi, I had thought that you and Third Brother were truly like a friend and a guest, but who would have thought that you didn't have any standing in his heart! Since you can't lure him out, what's the use of keeping you here? "
After saying that, Chu Yizhao slowly extended his hand and clenched his palm into a fist, suddenly wanting to smash it onto her face.
Just as the fist was about to hit her face, Xu Rouzhi seemed to have been frozen in place, unable to move at all!
Suddenly, a hand came out from the side and grabbed onto Chu Yizhao's wrist.
Chu Yizhao slowly turned around. "Third brother?"
It really was Chu Yixuan!
Xu Rouzhi was surprised and happy at the same time, she never thought that Chu Yixuan would still come to save her!
That meant, during this period of time, what she did, the feelings between the two of them were real, and it was not Chu Yixuan who was lying to her?
Chu Yixuan looked at her, then turned his face to Chu Yizhao and said sinisterly: "Big brother, she is my woman, if she wants to die, then let me be the one to handle it."
What?
Xu Rouzhi was shocked!
Chu Yixuan, he... What does that mean? Let him finish it? He meant he was going to kill her himself?
When she was at her wit's end, the two men that suddenly appeared in front of her were actually aiming to kill her. Xu Rouzhi's heart slowly sank and his body also gradually became cold. As for her, there was a tall wall behind her and she had no other way out.
Abruptly, Chu Yixuan struck out with his backhand towards Chu Yizhao's face! The swing of the palm caused Xu Rouzhi's clothes to suddenly fly into the air!
Caught off guard, Chu Yizhao, who was suddenly struck by the palm, immediately staggered a few steps and fell behind him!
The blood that spurted onto Xu Rouzhi's face. The warm smell of blood assaulted her sense of smell, and suddenly, her stomach started to churn as though everything was over. Xu Rouzhi immediately vomited.
"Soft stop." Chu Yixuan slowly stretched out his hand with a slight smile on his face, "Come here."
Xu Rouzhi resisted the urge to vomit and looked at Chu Yixuan in fear, "What do you want?"
"I want to take you back!" Chu Yixuan had a harmless smile on his face, "You are from the Prince Qi Palace, so you should be a ghost of the Prince Qi Palace even if you die. Right! "
"You still want to kill me?" Xu Rouzhi asked nervously.
Chu Yixuan did not reply, the smile on his face gradually became cold, until finally, his eyes became like a gloomy and cold sword, about to pierce through her!
Suddenly, Chu Yixuan's face changed, his fists turned into claws, and like lightning, he grabbed towards her face.
AHH!
"What's wrong?" Feng Qingmo quickly supported her shoulders, "Are you alright? Are you having a nightmare? "
Nightmare?
Xu Rouzhi looked at Feng Qingmo in a daze.
He turned his head to look at the woodshed. The fire was still burning brightly, and the sunlight was shining in through the window. It was still the same as it had been during the day.
So that was just a nightmare?
Xu Rouzhi wiped away the sweat on her forehead and spoke with lingering fear: "You still haven't left, right?"
"I just came back." Feng Qingmo let go of his hands, and brought over a drawer to the side, opening it to reveal the lid, "You must be hungry, this is the food I brought you from the restaurant, eat while it's hot."
Xu Rouzhi stared blankly at the dishes in the basket that still had a tempting aroma. Feng Qingmo moved them away layer by layer and introduced the recipe to her, "This is the Taihu Roasted Goose, this is the Warm Winter Flower Brewing Donkey Steam, and this is the Rookie Chicken.
"You even gave me so many big meals at a time like this?"
"I'm afraid you won't get used to normal food."
"I'm used to everything." Xu Rouzhi wiped her forehead, picked up the chopsticks, and looked at Feng Qingmo: "It's been hard on you, you should eat too!"
"I've eaten." Feng Qingmo smiled warmly and lit up the small wine jar in his hand.
Xu Rouzhi quietly ate two mouthfuls of each dish. The taste was really good, not one bit worse than the kitchen of Prince Qi Mansion.
— — Uh, I'm thinking of the Prince Qi Palace again!
She raised her head and looked at Feng Qingmo: "What news have you obtained?"
Feng Qingmo looked at her: "Let's finish eating first, then talk!"
What? Could it be that the information he'd gathered would make it so that she wouldn't be able to eat?
However, Xu Rouzhi's heart was in pain. She looked at Feng Qingmo sincerely: "It's fine, tell me!"
"Actually, it might be a good thing." Feng Qingmo said, "Your husband will no longer be threatened by anyone."
"What do you mean?" Xu Rouzhi's heart tightened. Could it be that what she saw in her dreams was the truth that Chu Yizhao was dead?
Feng Qingmo said: "Just now when I went out, I heard that everyone in the Ji City was talking about it. They said that someone saw Prince Qi crawling into the city's temple with wounds all over his body, while the Eastern Palace Prince's personal guard, Cheng Feng, appeared next with a blade in his hand, intending to kill Prince Qi. Fortunately the guard Lu Ming from the Prince Qi Palace appeared in time to save the Prince Qi. Now that Cheng Feng has been tormented into the palace, I'm afraid the Eastern Palace will fall soon. "
Is this true?
Xu Rouzhi was stunned! The Eastern Palace guards wanted to kill Chu Yixuan, to think that there would actually be a witness who could personally witness this matter …
This is... Eastern Palace's conspiracy failed? Or was it actually just Chu Yixuan planning to destroy the forces of the Eastern Palace in one go? Thinking about his nightmare just now, Xu Rouzhi slowly put down his chopsticks. As expected, her kidnapping was a trap that would benefit both sides? No one cared about the safety of her as a hostage. The Chu and Chu brothers had both wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of each other, but in the end, Chu Yixuan won?
