Although Yuan Piaopiao, who came uninvited, was not as noisy as Yali, but because he was a person of few words, after chatting with Feng Hongluan for a while, the atmosphere became a bit cold.

After Liu'er came to report the good news between the prince and the bachelor, Yuan Piaopiao naturally said goodbye and left.

Not long after Yuan Piaopiao left, Hong Yan came back, looking a little tired.

Feng Hongluan hurriedly asked Liu'er to prepare dinner again, and then stepped forward to massage Hong Yan's shoulders thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?"

"Something happened."

Hong Yan held his forehead.

It was rare to see Hong Yan showing such a tired expression, Feng Hongluan frowned.

"What's up?"

"Brother Imperial may have been targeted, please ask me to send people to secretly support you as soon as possible."

"What?"

Feng Hongluan's eyebrows tightened slightly.

The emperor's private visit incognito was very secret. Except for a few ministers in the court, almost no one knew about it. Moreover, even if someone got the news and wanted to attack the emperor outside the palace, it would not be easy to succeed because of the many experts around the emperor.

The emperor also brought with him a first-class imperial guard with swords. I heard that the martial arts of those two men were unfathomable and no one could approach within ten meters.

With two people like these around, the emperor would still be in trouble.

But at the moment, protection is very important. No wonder Hong Yan had to discuss it with the cabinet bachelor for so long. The matter is of great importance and every detail must be taken care of.

"Hongluan, I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you to climb the mountain tomorrow. Far water cannot save the near fire. Now I am the only one who is going to escort you in disguise. You wait for me here and don't go anywhere. If you want to go hiking to watch the sunrise,

Let Liuer accompany you, do you understand?"

"only you?"

Feng Hongluan was obviously worried.

Hong Yan gave her a comforting smile: "Don't worry, the bachelor will arrange for experts to come to help later. I promise you, I won't let anything happen to me."

Even though he made this assurance, the person who was eyeing the emperor must be something serious, and Feng Hongluan could not help but be worried.

"Otherwise I will go with you."

If anything happens, she still has a way to kill both the jade and the stone. Even if she can't save herself, she will share weal and woe with Hong Yan.

Hong Yan's face became serious: "Be obedient and wait for me here. I will set off in the middle of the night. Remember not to be separated from Liu'er."

Feng Hongluan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, because she knew that if the confrontation was really a difficult opponent, her presence would only add burdens and worries to Hong Yan, and become Hong Yan's burden.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you. When you come back, we can watch the sunrise together."

"Well, okay, Liu'er said you haven't had dinner yet, let's eat together."

Her heart was heavy, but she didn't want Hong Yan to worry about it, so she forced a smile and shared dinner with Hong Yan.

After dinner was finished, time flew by. In a blink of an eye, the moon was high in the sky and everything was quiet. Hongyan was dressed as a farmer and went out with a bamboo hat.

Reluctantly sending him to the door, Feng Hongluan kept telling herself that Hongyan was very skilled in martial arts and there were two masters beside the emperor, so nothing would happen to him.

But how could such self-hypnosis hide the worries in my heart?

She just wished she could turn into a butterfly and follow Hong Yan all the way, just to see him every day.

Hongyan left in the middle of the night, and Feng Hongluan spent the entire second half of the night tossing and turning. When the sky became slightly brighter, she couldn't sleep anymore. The faint uneasiness in her heart made her restless all day long.

After lunch, sleepiness finally hit her, and she reluctantly fell asleep, only to wake up when the sun was setting.

Hong Yan is not around, and it has been a long time since she and Hong Yan have been separated for such a long time. It seems that except for the time when Uncle Xiao died, she hid in Hong Zhi's other courtyard and refused to see Hong Yan, and refused to forgive Hong Yan.

It was that period when there was such a separation.

Missing him has been with me from the moment he left.

*

Three days later, there was no news about Hong Yan, and the cabinet bachelor's family had also returned home. They invited Feng Hongluan to accompany them, but Feng Hongluan refused.

Hong Yan said that if he asked her to wait here, she would wait.

Moreover, Liu'er also wanted to let the cabinet bachelor's family leave first, as they would have to stay here for a few more days.

There was a new waiter in the store in the past two days, which was not a strange thing at first, but Feng Hongluan always felt that the waiter's face felt inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before.

In the evening of this day, the weather was a little hot. As spring came to an end, the feeling of summer began to get stronger.

After dinner, Feng Hongluan wanted to go out for a walk, Liu'er accompanied her. There was a small lotus pond in the yard. The lotus flowers were blooming very well. There were several koi carp in the lotus pond. Feng Hongluan was sitting in the pond.

I was looking at the koi carp in the pond when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind me.

She turned around and saw the new clerk in the store behind her.

Liu'er looked at the other person very warily. The man smiled at Feng Hongluan with a strange smile.

Feng Hongluan also smiled slightly, always feeling that this person was strange.

"Don't remember me?"

But he spoke first.

Feng Hongluan looked at the other party doubtfully: "Should I know you?"

He was startled, then smiled: "Actually, you should know me."

Should know.

Feng Hongluan searched her memory for memories about this face, but found nothing, but the inexplicable feeling of familiarity became even stronger.

Liu'er didn't seem to have a good impression of this person, so he asked Feng Hongluan, "Master, let's go back. He's nothing more than a flirt with women."

After saying that, he was about to help Feng Hongluan. The waiter just looked at Feng Hongluan with a smile and said nothing. When Feng Hongluan and Liuer passed by him, he suddenly smiled jokingly: "Your Majesty, noble people really forget things.

.”

Empress! He knows her identity.

In the inn, she never revealed her identity.

"who are you!"

Stopping in his tracks, Feng Hongluan said that this person was not a good person.

The man dressed as a waiter smiled and pulled off the top of his head, and his long hair was spread down. He neatly put his hair into a bun and tied it with a wooden hairpin on top of his head. At a glance, Feng

Hong Luan was suddenly shocked: "It's you!"

Liu'er obviously didn't recognize the person in front of him, but judging from the man's smile and eyes, he knew that this man had bad intentions. He secretly practiced his skills and was ready to fight at any time, but he was shocked to find that he could not concentrate his internal energy at all.

With each movement of his kung fu, the internal energy began to rush around in his body. He panicked and tried to control the turbulent internal force, but was counterattacked by a greater control force. There was a stream of blood in his throat, and his brows were frowning.

's tight.

"Hahahahaha!" The man laughed wildly, lowered his head and looked at Liu'er, his eyes full of disdain and coldness, "Don't do useless work, I knew Hongyan would keep you by her side.

Your martial arts is extraordinary, but no matter how powerful your martial arts is, can it be a match for my colorless and odorless Neigong Powder? So, do you feel that your internal strength is completely out of control and is scattered in your body? The harder you try, the more helpless it becomes.

Take control, I advise you, don’t do useless work, otherwise, you will only be killed by your own internal power."

"Who on earth are you!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Liu'er's figure became a little unstable.

Feng Hongluan hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu'er, and looked at the man in front of her coldly: "Xia Chengtian, you finally showed up."'

Xia Chengtian!

This name is not unfamiliar to Liuer.

I was shocked.

The man in front of him was actually Xia Chengtian, the son of the former General Xia Hui and the brother of the former Jin Princess Xia Rongling.

At that time, Xia Rongling hurt their princess, and the Xia family disappeared overnight. The emperor issued a nationwide arrest warrant, but nothing was found. Now, many years have passed, and the emperor has slowly begun to give up the pursuit of the Xia family. Unexpectedly,

, Xia Hui’s son is actually hiding in a place like this.

No, he is not hiding in a place like this. He clearly came to this place on purpose. He came here to seek revenge.

Thinking of this, Liu'er tried to exercise his skills again regardless of life and death, but was stopped by Feng Hongluan. She knew that Liu'er was eager to protect his master, but in this situation, even if Liu'er risked his life, it would be of no avail.

Feng Hongluan had also secretly lucked out just now, and she was indeed poisoned.

In such a peaceful town, such a quiet season, and a place with simple folk customs, she and Liu'er really failed to take precautions, which allowed Xia Chengtian to take advantage of it.

Now, she and Liu'er were unable to resist at all, just like fish under a sword, they were at the mercy of Xia Chengtian's whims.

Judging from Xia Chengtian's eyes that were gradually filled with hatred, he knew that Xia Chengtian would definitely kill them.

Sure enough, Xia Hui sneered, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed Feng Hongluan on the left shoulder.

"ah……"

Feng Hongluan took a step back in pain, but Xia Chengtian took a step closer and pierced the dagger deeper.

The severe pain made Feng Hongluan gasp for air frequently, and cold sweat fell from his forehead.

At this moment, even with Qin, she was no match for Xia Chengtian. She had to pour in her inner strength to complete the task in one go, but she couldn't control her current inner strength at all.

She knew that she would definitely die.

But before she died, she wanted to know.

"Xia Chengtian, where did Xia Rongling take Liuxiang?"

Xia Chengtian's eyes were fierce: "Go to hell and ask the King of Hell, you bitch, you are the one who caused the death of our Xia family, caused our family to be displaced, and caused my mother to commit suicide because she couldn't bear such changes, leaving my brother and sister to become

I have given birth to an orphan, Feng Hongluan, I have been waiting for a moment for too long, go to hell!"

After saying that, he pulled out the dagger from Feng Hongluan's shoulder and slashed it towards Feng Hongluan's neck.

"Empress!" Liu'er almost flew over, but was easily kicked away by Xia Chengtian.
