"Uncle Murong, you've said the same thing before. Mom and I haven't even been here for a few days and we've already been found?" Dou Dou's beautiful big eyes revealed a hint of childishness at a glance. Feng Yu was immediately amused to the point of letting out a bell-like laughter, but Murong Zhi was unable to laugh no matter what.
A look of distress flashed across Murong Zhi's face. This place was indeed very safe, who told Xuanyuan Zhan to be so smart?
"If it's not safe, your Your Highness would have come to take you away already. Where are you going to wait for me to send you away?" In order to protect his dignity and the reputation of the Flying Hung Pavilion, Murong Zhi told Dou Dou in a half-frightened tone that he had not fooled Dou Dou in the slightest, and there was even a look of disdain on his face.
Murong Zhi looked at him helplessly. How could he care about a child? He turned his head to see Feng Yu looking at him with a gloating expression, his expression even more helpless.
"Even the Young Master Yu does not trust me anymore?"
"That's why I told you to run with us." Feng Yu said, "Of course not."
Murong Zhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The warmth he felt just now had completely vanished, he had simply been looked down upon.
His peach blossom eyes stared at Feng Yu from top to bottom, thinking that she was actually quite a good match for Xuanyuan Zhan — a good match in terms of words.
He heaved a sigh of relief. It was not the time to joke around, so he put the topic down.
"All of you, hurry up and pack up. I'll bring you guys away later."
Dou Dou also took out the things that he usually played with. He was afraid that some things would get in the way and he sensibly took out the larger ones, but Feng Yu smiled and put them all away.
Murong Zhi had wanted to personally send them off, but if Xuanyuan Zhan had been monitoring them from the shadows, then things would have gone south. He called out a trusted aide to escort them.
"We will split into five different paths and head towards the five different city gates. The Prince Zhan will definitely suspect that I am hurriedly sending you out of the Shengjing, and I will personally lead you there. The possibility of the Prince following me along this path is extremely high, but you are going to take another route to the outskirts of the city instead, and did not leave the Shengjing at all." Murong Zhi plotted and said, "Prince Zhan is so worried about you two, this time he will definitely fall for it."
Feng Yu felt that their plan was not bad. Murong Zhi was still quite crafty, so he nodded in agreement and Murong Zhi immediately sent his subordinates to arrange everything. After they had departed from the fourth route for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Murong Zhi's trusted aides brought them there.
After shaking the carriage all the way, they quickly arrived at another manor on the outskirts of the city and settled down.
This place was much more remote than the previous one, so it had an excellent scenery beside a mountain and water. Murong Zhi's trusted aides brought Feng Yu and Dou Dou to the courtyard, which was the most suitable place to enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers, then respectfully left.
This place wasn't as big as before, but Feng Yu felt even more at ease. The air was also much fresher, allowing her to draw calmly, her world only consisted of himself and Dou Dou, if the two lived in such a big place, they would also feel extremely lonely.
Feng Yu carried the tired Dou Dou and gently patted his soft and fragrant back.
"It's such a pity, Dou Dou. It took me so much for me to finally be able to go out and play. I can only obediently wait here for the danger to pass."
Feng Yu was a bit shy because of her work, so it wasn't really a big deal if she didn't go out. Children like Dou Dou liked to play around at this age, so it was really hard for them to stick around.
Dou Dou shook his head, extending his white and tender hands to caress the smooth face of the phoenix feather.
"It's fine as long as Dou Dou has a mother. Wherever his mother is, Dou Dou is also there. Where there is a mother, Dou Dou is happy." Dou Dou looked out of the window, a smile on his face, "There are flowers, grass and butterflies here, can Dou Dou play here?"
Feng Yu was very touched. She also knew that this place might not be safe for a long period of time, and if necessary, it would be moved very soon.
"Dou Dou, it's been hard on you. You are really my mother's darling." As Feng Yu praised him, Dou Dou was so happy that his eyes lit up.
After putting Dou Dou down, Feng Yu started to take out her luggage. A few days ago, in order to make it easier to escape, she had asked Murong Zhi to make a few modern rucksacks for her. This way, she could easily carry Dou Dou.
Feng Yu put the silver notes they earned into the cabinet beside the bed so they could easily take them out. She only packed all of the clothes in her bag.
Dou Dou helped Feng Yu to carry her clothes as he learnt from her that she could only take out one or two of her toys.
Dou Dou took the wooden toy Murong Zhi bought him, wiped off the perspiration on his face, and wrinkled his small nose, revealing his disgust: "The one who hates the most is Your Highness, he's always bothering Mother, he's definitely not a good person."
Looking at Dou Dou, Feng Yu wanted to laugh. Dou Dou and Xuanyuan Zhan had never been on good terms with each other, and Xuanyuan Zhan's ice-cold face was indeed not liked by children, but naturally not by her either.
Just like ice, she couldn't help but shiver when she thought about it. Who would believe that he was hugging onto true love? Moreover, she was only wearing the shell of a phoenix feather. Since she had raised her son, she had feelings for him, so there was no need for her to have such an icy husband in her arms.
She only wanted to find out who caused Feng Yu's death six years ago, then bring Dou Dou to live a free and unrestrained life. She strongly refused to marry an ancient man with three wives and four concubines, unless she met someone with the same thoughts as her.
Now, she was going to start thinking about the crown prince. Just what role did the crown prince play in the battle six years ago? How could he uncover deeper secrets?
Patting Dou Dou's head, Feng Yu's voice was soft and filled with maternal love.
"Don't be afraid, there will be a day when you won't have to run all over the place. Mother will take you to hide somewhere that Prince Zhan can't find."
After Feng Yu and Dou Dou were done with their arrangements, Murong Zhi immediately received a message from her trusted aides. With a satisfied smile on her face, she took her subordinates outside the city gate and went around the city, acting as if she had completed some kind of "sale" before slowly returning to Shengjing's own residence.
Who knew that once he returned to the residence, the butler would come up to him with a mournful look and tell him that Xuanyuan Zhan was waiting for him in the hall.
This time, Murong Zhi's heart was completely unperturbed. He leisurely adjusted the long sleeves on his body, and walked in leisurely.
Arriving at the great hall, Murong Zhi looked like he was sitting with a dark face with the fragrant tea beside him still not moving an inch, a faint smile formed on his lips.
"Prince Zhan, you are … Is there anything important you need from me? "
Seeing Murong Zhi's smiling face, Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes flashed with a cold light, as if it was the north wind in the middle of winter.
Murong Zhi smiled at him, and before Xuanyuan Zhan could say anything, he waved for his servants to come over.
"I've just obtained a precious fruit from the Western Regions. It's unusually delicious, and it's served to Prince Zhan."
"No need." Xuanyuan Zhan rejected his in a low voice, his tone was steady and suppressed like a battle drum, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Murong Zhi deeply, and saw all of his expressions.
"Pavilion Master Murong is truly amazing. No wonder you are the Pavilion Master of the Flying Hung Pavilion. This king has underestimated you."
Murong Zhi's face was extremely calm, at least on the surface he maintained his indifferent attitude.
"I don't know what the Prince is talking about." Murong Zhi replied, "May I ask for Your Highness's explanation?"
Seeing that he was still pretending, anger overflowed between Xuanyuan Zhan's brows, and swept towards Murong Zhi like a black flame.
In order to lure this king into a trap, I even personally led a group of people. In the end, this duke has indeed been tricked, and with a second thought, this king's wife and children will definitely find another way to leave. It is impossible for them to leave the Shengjing, so they should still be in the Shengjing, right?! Xuanyuan Zhan immediately analyzed Murong Zhi's plan, and said, "It is not appropriate for them to be living in the city right now, maybe you sent them to the outskirts of the city."
Murong Zhi's heart skipped a beat again, he wondered why Xuanyuan Zhan had seen through everything so clearly. It was just that he still pretended to be calm and maintained his' innocence '.
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? The four groups of people are part of Flying Hung Pavilion's business and if Your Highness wanted to investigate, he can find out. Because there were some urgent matters, so we left Shengjing together. It was a pure coincidence."
Xuanyuan Zhan did not buy all of his tricks, checking? — Hmph, he didn't have the time to check these out.
"Pavilion Master Murong, since you're not afraid of this prince investigating, I presume this matter has already been resolved. This prince will not waste any more time. Since Pavilion Master has the heart to prevent this prince from seeing his wife and son, this king does not need to be courteous either." Xuanyuan Zhan said in a low voice. His tone made Murong Zhi feel a chill in his heart, "This king will tear down your Flying Hung Pavilion right now, let's see if you can continue lying to this king despite this face of yours."
Murong Zhi panicked. Although he had a high position in the martial arts world, but he could not fight against the Prince Zhan. He immediately stood up and frowned as he looked at Xuanyuan Zhan.
"Prince Zhan, this cannot be tolerated, aren't you bullying the common people by doing this?"
"You can sue His Majesty."
Murong Zhi's face twitched, a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with pain. How could he be so unlucky to have provoked these two devil stars?
"Prince Zhan, I really can't. If Royal Concubine and Young Prince really aren't here, then please spare me. Even if you were to smash this place, you wouldn't be able to find them." Murong Zhi almost went forward to pull him up, but he did not move at all as he looked at him.
No matter whether it was in the light or in the dark, he did not care. With how heavily Crown Prince Xuanyuan Qingtian was on guard against him, making some 'mistakes' could lower his guard. Although this action would easily cause Xuanyuan Qingtian to take the opportunity to strike him down, in short, it would bring more benefits than harm.
"Forget it …" Xuanyuan Zhan retracted his gaze, and as if he was magnanimous, he picked up a cup of fragrant tea, used the lid of the bowl to scrape the tea away, and drank a mouthful.
Murong Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. He guessed that he had given up, but he did not expect that Xuanyuan Zhan had not finished speaking.
"You can let this king not destroy the Flying Hung Pavilion but instead help this king keep an eye on the movements of the crown prince's faction. Even if they look at any of their concubines once, they would have to notify this king. As long as they keep an eye on him for a year … "No, a year and a half."
