After Xia Luotong retracted the needle, he let out a long breath. Before he could feel happy, a dark shadow flashed beside him, and then Wu Fengyan's clothes were pulled up in front of him, covering him tightly.
Xia Luotong was stunned by this sudden movement, and then glanced at Wu Zechen beside him in a funny way. He couldn't help laughing, but he didn't say anything more.
After all, there are other people present at this moment, and Wu Zechen's majesty must be taken into account after all.
"Thank you sister for saving me. Thank you for your hard work, sister." A slightly weak voice sounded, and Wu Fengyan struggled to sit up.
In fact, he had always been awake, but it was precisely because he was awake that he could feel the pain caused by the poison more clearly, as if his whole body had been fished out of sweat.
He first silently glanced at Wu Zechen beside him. He was naturally aware of Wu Zechen's actions just now, and then looked at Xia Luotong with some shyness and concern. He remembered that Xia Luotong was still pregnant.
"It's okay. It doesn't take much effort. It'll be fine if you're okay." Seeing that Wu Fengyan was in good condition, Xia Luotong was completely relieved. She raised a gentle smile and gently stroked the top of his head, as if to comfort him. Like a younger brother.
Wu Fengyan greedily felt the tenderness between the palms of his head, and suddenly felt that the poisoning this time was nothing.
But Wu Fengyan was in a good mood, and Wu Zechen felt a little bit of sourness in his heart. At that moment, he interrupted without hesitation: "This is still the prince's territory. We can't take it lightly. Leave first."
How could Xia Luotong not know that the man next to her was sour again? Ever since this man became aware of her thoughts, she could make her jealous about anything, and she was used to it.
But thinking of the knocked out prince in the front room, she knew that Wu Zechen was right, and she had to leave this place quickly.
"Should we leave the palace directly? But A Yan is like this now, and I..."
Wu Fengyan struggled on the ground just now, and his body was already covered with dust. Naturally, it was not convenient to see people. Xia Luotong himself was also somewhat messy, and he was afraid of causing misunderstandings by others and attracting a lot of rumors.
Besides, if the prince fainted here and was discovered by others, they might not be able to tell clearly.
Wu Zechen had obviously considered this and had already made plans. He said directly: "Go to Cining Palace and find the Queen Mother."
Xia Luotong nodded immediately. Indeed, it would be best to ask the Queen Mother for help at this time, but...
"What should I do, Prince? Is he still here?" Xia Luotong asked with a frown.
Although she wished something happened to the prince, it couldn't happen now.
"Just throw it away and don't worry about it. His men will naturally come looking for him later." When mentioning the prince, Wu Zechen's face also looked unhappy, but it's not the time to take action now, otherwise based on what the prince did today, He won't let the prince end well!
Xia Luotong naturally knew the anger in Wu Zechen's heart, as well as the annoyance and self-blame in his heart. He stretched out his hand to wrap his clenched fists, raised a faint smile on his face, and silently comforted him.
Wu Zechen felt as if the anger in his heart had been extinguished by a burst of cool spring rain, and he became calm again. His eyes were filled with tenderness again. He wrapped Xia Luotong's little hand with his backhand and walked out of the house first.
Wu Fengyan, who was recovering on the side, looked at the interaction between the two in front of him, and felt that something might have happened just now that he didn't know about, but now was not a good time to ask, so he did not speak, and followed after getting up. The two of them left the house behind them.
Several guards and eunuchs were lying scattered outside the house. They were all the people who had guarded Wu Fengyan and had captured Xia Luotong and Lindong. Now they were all unconscious on the ground. It was obviously the work of Wu Zechen, Lian Ye and others. of.
This small courtyard is very remote. It should be a place in the East Palace where few people come and go on weekdays, so the prince chose this place, but he didn't expect that Wu Zechen would find it.
Wu Zechen carefully protected Xia Luotong all the way out. Xia Luotong looked at the unconscious people and asked with some worry: "After putting down so many people, if the prince wakes up and learns about this..."
"It's okay, don't worry, he already knew it, and I'm not exposed."
Wu Zechen didn't say much, but Xia Luotong already understood the meaning of his words.
It seemed that the princes and Wu Zechen had known each other for a long time, but no one had lifted the last layer of fig leaf. They kept making secret moves, but maintained the fragile peace on the surface.
Xia Luotong couldn't help but frown. If the emperor and the princes lifted the fig leaf, what kind of situation would Zhou be in?
Under the cover of the secret whistle in the palace, Wu Zechen and his party escaped the sight of the palace people and quietly left the East Palace and arrived at the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother was.
When they arrived, the Queen Mother had already taken a lunch break. When she learned that Wu Zechen and others had arrived, she immediately asked the palace staff to lead them into the underground palace.
As soon as he saw that Xia Luotong's hair was slightly messy, his clothes were stained with dust, and Wu Fengyan's image was even worse, he became a little anxious and immediately got up and walked over.
"What's wrong with you? What happened? Tong'er is still pregnant!" The Queen Mother glanced at Wu Fengyan and saw that although he looked a little miserable, he was in good spirits and had no obvious injuries, so she Then he pulled Xia Luotong aside and sat down.
After looking back and forth, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xia Luotong was fine.
Xia Luotong smiled to show that he was fine, and then took out the words he had promised before: "Grandma, don't worry, we are fine. It's just that when my grandson-in-law was playing with A Yan just now, she accidentally stepped on the wrong foot. , Ah Yan made a backing to protect his grandson-in-law, and that’s why the situation turned into what it is now. Ah Chen was worried that others would misunderstand and gossip if they saw it, so he asked us to go to the imperial grandmother’s place to deal with it. "
Xia Luotong and Wu Fengyan had met several times in the Queen Mother's house recently, and Si Hanyan mentioned it to the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother also knew that Xia Luotong and Wu Fengyan were in love, and they were more like siblings than Wu Zechen, a serious cousin.
"Yes, and Tong'er is pregnant. My grandson is afraid that she will be unwell, so he wants to let her come over to rest for a while." Wu Zechen added at the side.
After hearing what Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong said, and Wu Fengyan nodding at the side, the Queen Mother smiled and nodded to express her relief, but there was a touch of sadness in her eyes, and she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
It is said that the most ruthless emperor's family is, isn't that what they are?
The Queen Mother is not an ordinary woman. As a woman who accompanied and supported the late emperor all the way to the throne, how could she not understand anything?
As long as she thought of the fact that today the crown prince accepted his concubine, a banquet was held in the East Palace, Wu Zechen and others had obviously just come down from the banquet in the East Palace, and King Wu Fengyan of Qi looked so embarrassed, the Queen Mother could guess a little bit.
