Chapter 174 Hongying was rescued by Muqi.
Chapter 174 Hongying was rescued by Muqi.
Lin Yiyi looked at Hongying crying silently, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and then she realized that it was not that Hongying had no feelings for Mo Cang.
When Mu Feng walked towards Hongying with the sword in his hand, Hongying raised her head. The tears on her face had not yet dried, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.
"You killed Mo Cang, I will make you pay with your lives!" As he said that, he quickly stood up and pounced towards Mu Feng. Mu Feng dodged and then stabbed Hong Ying in the abdomen with a sword.
Hongying's hand stopped in front of Lin Yiyi, and the wind from her palm blew up the cloak on Lin Yiyi's body. Lin Yiyi's eyelashes moved slightly, but she did not retreat.
Mu Feng drew out his sword and Hong Ying fell to the ground.
When Mu Qi came from a distance, he saw Mu Feng raising his sword and preparing to strike the second sword, and he immediately threw the hidden weapon in his hand away.
With a clang, the sword in Mu Feng's hand was knocked away, and Lin Yiyi looked over immediately.
Suddenly, a figure flashed towards her and Mu Feng. Lin Yiyi's face changed immediately and she grabbed Mu Feng's shoulder and stepped back.
Those figures only stopped beside Hongying, with no intention of attacking. In just a moment, Hongying was hidden in the corner by those figures.
Mu Feng said anxiously: "I'll go after him!"
Lin Yiyi stopped Mu Feng and said, "Don't chase them, they are very fast."
Mu Feng threw the sword to the ground in annoyance, but in his heart he cried out: "Alas, I did not complete the young lady's instructions."
Lin Yiyi tightened her cloak, then stepped over the corpses on the ground and walked towards Wang Ziyan.
He lowered his head and stared at Wang Ziyan, seeing the blue spot on his chin, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently.
After not seeing each other for many days, Lin Yiyi did not expect that Wang Ziyan would look so haggard. Was it because the internal energy he passed on to her had not recovered?
When Mu Feng came, he brought a dozen people with him, but now there are corpses all over the ground, and only the three of them are alive.
Mu Feng walked to Lin Yiyi's side and said softly, "Sister Yiyi, let me take him back."
Lin Yiyi stared at Wang Ziyan's thin face, her eyes gradually becoming blurred. Just when tears were about to fall, she immediately stood up and turned her head away.
He lowered his voice and said, "Let's go. Don't tell him I was here tonight."
Mu Feng moved his lips, knowing what Lin Yiyi meant, and nodded, making her greedy.
The wind suddenly blew at night. Jiang Xue was worried about Lin Yiyi's health, so she took another thick cloak, carried a lantern, and walked out of the house towards Huaxiang Street.
Because the weather suddenly changed, the moon that was just hanging high in the sky has now hidden in the dark clouds, and the stars seem to have hidden as well.
The street was pitch black, with only a faint white shadow moving slowly in the night.
Jiang Xue just turned the corner with a lantern in her hand and ran into the shadow.
Then he called out tentatively, "Yiyi?"
Lin Yiyi paused for a moment before she spoke: "Xue'er?"
Jiang Xue approached with a lantern in her hand. Under the candlelight, Lin Yiyi's face looked a little bad. Seeing that there was blood on Lin Yiyi's cloak, she reached out to untie the cloak and threw it on the ground, then put the cloak in her hand on Lin Yiyi and tied it tightly.
"walk home."
Lin Yiyi let Jiang Xue pull her forward. After a while, Lin Yiyi said, "Xue'er, Hongying has been rescued."
Jiang Xue said as she walked: "It's okay, she won't leave the capital for the time being, we can slowly look for her."
"Yeah." Lin Yiyi nodded, and then said, "Xue'er, I want to drink the porridge you cooked."
"Okay, I'll do it for you when you get back."
The two of them walked one after the other, chatting idly until they arrived at Jiang's residence. Lin Yiyi finally calmed down, but soon fell asleep again.
After Jiang Xue checked Lin Yiyi's pulse, her eyes were solemn, and she still felt the cold wind......
It was already late at night and a light drizzle had begun to fall without us noticing.
At the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion, the door was slowly opened and Pei Zhijin walked out. The servant who opened the door bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Goodbye, sir." Then he handed the umbrella in his hand to Pei Zhijin.
Pei Zhijin took the umbrella calmly, nodded slightly, turned around, opened the umbrella and left.
As soon as Pei Zhijin left, Mu Qi brought Hongying into the mansion.
In the backyard, Mu Qi had someone treat Hongying's wound and then went to report to Li Lingxuan.
"Your Majesty, Hongying has been brought back."
"But can someone see us?" Li Lingxuan looked over lazily.
Muqi shook his head, "No."
Li Lingxuan turned the teacup in his hand, then lowered his eyes and said casually: "Then let her take care of it. When her injury is healed, send her to the countryside."
Mu Qi nodded and bowed, "Yes."
------
Two days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet arrived as scheduled.
However, the streets and alleys were not as lively as usual, and everyone was still in a state of panic. The number of people infected with the Gu had increased dramatically in the past two days, and even Jiang Xue's blood was of no use.
In Jiang's house.
Aunt Zheng pushed Jiang Jian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, in the yard to bask in the sun. Jiang Jian's legs had gradually improved and he could stand up on his own, but walking was still a little difficult. Jiang Xue had started giving Jiang Jian acupuncture every day and said that he would be able to walk freely in two months.
Aunt Zheng was very happy after hearing this, and she was busy taking care of the Jiang Mansion every day. Lin Yanfu knew that Lin Yiyi was staying in the Jiang Mansion, so he came to take Lin Yiyi back to the mansion, but Lin Yiyi refused.
Seeing that Lin Yiyi's face was not very good, Lin Yanfu did not say anything harsh. He just told her to take care of her health and then left. Because of the empress dowager's affairs in recent days, Lin Yanfu had been busy and felt suffocated by those officials all day long.
"Alas..." Aunt Zheng sighed slightly.
Jiang Jian looked up at Aunt Zheng in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I don't understand."
"What's the matter?"
Aunt Zheng looked at Jiang Jian, frowned, and said, "Master, you said there was a banquet in the palace, why did you ask Xue'er to attend it?"
Jiang Jian's eyes curved slightly, and he said, "Do you think I can go to the palace for a banquet in this state?"
"Alas, the people of the capital are in a state of panic right now, how can the emperor still have the mind to hold a grand Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"
Jiang Jian remembered what Jiang Xue had said to him last night, that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was just a cover, and it was actually an unbreakable net.
After hearing this, Jiang Jian had a vague feeling that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was not simple. Knowing that Jiang Xue had her reasons for going, he told her to be careful.
Jiang Jian looked up at the sun that was about to set, his eyes dim, and then looked at Aunt Zheng and said, "Push me in, the weather is going to change soon."
"Hmm?" Aunt Zheng looked up at the sky. The sunset had already covered half the sky, and it didn't look like the weather was going to change.
"Master, you are confused. The weather is so good, how could it change?"
Jiang Jian raised the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and said, "Go in."
Aunt Zheng pretended to hit Jiang Jian, and then pushed the wheelchair into the house.
