Chapter 73
Chapter 73
The reason why the prime minister's wife didn't leave Yongdu with Feng Ce and the others was because the prime minister hadn't come back yet, and she wanted to wait for him, at least to see that he was safe and sound.
So, she lived in Wenbie's small building, worrying about whether Ye Shaoqing and Feng Ce had left safely, and when she heard someone coming back at night, she immediately lit the light and opened the door, only to see that it was Wenbie who had gone upstairs.
Wen Bie's complexion was not good, she watched worriedly, but Wen Bie didn't give him a look, and went straight back to the room.
She sighed, looked worriedly at Wen Bie's room, and then closed the door.
When Wen Bie went downstairs the next day, he saw the prime minister's wife had prepared breakfast. Seeing him coming downstairs, she brought a bowl of hot porridge from the kitchen in the backyard, and said with a smile, "Sir, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Eat first." It’s never too late to go out.”
Wen Bie looked at her with a weird face, not understanding why she did this and cared about him so much.
The prime minister's wife sighed, put the porridge on the table, and continued: "Sir, he looks a few years older than my Shaoqing. My Shaoqing always runs out without breakfast. He will regret it sooner or later."
Wen Bie replied coldly: "I won't eat."
The prime minister's wife was not annoyed, she pulled him to sit down: "I made polenta for you, Shaoqing ate this most when he was a child, would you like to try it?"
Hearing these words, Wen Bie seemed to be stimulated by something. Looking at the corn porridge on the table, he immediately frowned, like a frightened beast, and even his pupils shrank.
Then, he raised his hand uncontrollably and overturned the corn porridge, his tone was cold and angry: "I said I won't eat it!"
After Wen Bie finished speaking, he left, his footsteps were a little chaotic, as if he had fled in despair.
"This child..." The prime minister's wife couldn't help but sighed, and then began to clean up the porridge bowls he knocked over.
Wen Bie stepped out of the threshold, only to wake up after being blown by the cold morning wind and rain, and stabilized his body and mind.
Then, he looked back at the prime minister's wife in the hall, she was really amiable, gentle and kind.
Everything in my mind just now seemed to be an illusion.
After withdrawing his gaze, Wen Bie raised his eyes to look at the heavy rain outside, and the fan in his hand suddenly turned into an umbrella again.
He opened the umbrella and entered the rain curtain, and his figure was hidden by the heavy rain.
It was late at night when Feng Ce returned to the Hou's Mansion, the rain continued for a day and a night, and the boots he was stepping on were already soaked by the rain.
He hadn't walked so much when he was chased by the dog, so Feng Ce put away his umbrella and pushed open the gate of Hou Mansion, sat down on the threshold to rest for a while, and hammered his sore legs.
But the sudden chill on his back made him feel that someone was staring at him in the dark, and when the feeling became stronger and stronger, Feng Ce finally couldn't help looking back.
It was a figure all in white, which looked very blurry in the rainy night.
Feng Ce looked over carefully, the man seemed to have seen through his intentions, and the white oil-paper umbrella he was holding leaned forward to block his face.
Feng Ce had enough rest, stood up and looked at the man for a while, then closed the door, turned around, lowered his body, picked up the umbrella and opened it, and walked back to the east courtyard.
Jingfeng was waiting for him under the eaves.
Feng Ce went into the eaves, put away the umbrella, and asked, "Did the prince and Ye Shaoqing fall asleep?"
Jing Feng watched Feng Ce come back hesitant to speak, nodded upon hearing this, and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Wu and I caught those three people back, but Rouqian and Yin Bingyu haven't seen them all day today. "
Feng Ce nodded and said, "Bring those people back to Demon Realm and let Yuwu take them back."
Jing Feng responded immediately, very glad that Feng Ce didn't let him leave: "My lord, will he come back when Yu Wu goes back?"
Feng Ce: "No need to come back, we will go back soon."
The last time Feng Ce asked Jingfeng to bring Shui He and Ke Yan back, the progress bar of the two disappeared immediately, indicating that they left the Twelve-tone Pavilion and returned to the Demon Realm, so they were not included in the main task.
Of course, there are no rewards.
Jing Feng quickly went to inform Yu Wu, while Feng Ce quietly opened the door and went in to take off his soaked boots and put on a pair of clean ones.
Just as he was changing, there was the sound of turning over on the bed, and Zhao Jingchen's confused voice also came: "Cousin, you are back."
Feng Ce glanced back at him, and said "Yes".
Zhao Jingchen sat up wrapped in a quilt, and asked, "Cousin, how is my father and mother?"
Feng Ce said: "In the palace, nothing will happen."
Zhao Jingchen bowed his head in silence for a while, then looked over timidly with a pair of deer-like eyes: "Cousin, are you...really my cousin?"
Feng Ce looked at him and replied, "No, your real cousin died seven years ago, and my identity is a hoax."
Zhao Jingchen: "Why?"
"It's related to the battle between the immortal and demon realms. Don't worry, this battle won't hurt too many innocent people."
No amount of Feng Ce has been told to him.
As soon as he went out, he saw Yu Wu rushing towards him, and Jing Feng followed behind with a proud expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, Jing Feng said that you asked me to send those people to the Demon Realm, is it true?"
Feng Ce nodded.
Yuwu instantly wilted.
Knowing that this is a critical moment, Feng Ce still chooses to keep Jingfeng by his side, which makes Yuwu a little disappointed.
Jing Feng was about to speak proudly, but Feng Ce spoke first: "Whether you stay with me or bring those three back to the Demon Realm, it's equally important, understand?"
Yu Wu looked up at Feng Ce: "Your Majesty, then I really don't have to come back after I go back?"
Feng Ce was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Remember to lock him up before you come back."
Yu Wu immediately jumped up, and responded with a smile: "Good sir."
Looking back at Jing Feng who was pretending to be disdainful, he hummed triumphantly and left.
Jingfeng asked Xiang Fengce: "My lord, what should I do next?"
"Take care of Zhao Jingchen." Feng Ce looked at the sky that seemed to be dawning again, and said, "The rain is about to stop, I'll go to the Twelve-tone Pavilion."
After Feng Ce finished speaking, he picked up the umbrella placed at the door and propped it up again. Soon, he was dressed in black, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
When we arrived at the Twelve-tone Pavilion, the rain suddenly stopped, Feng Ce opened the door and went in, the inside was empty.
Every step, there is an echo.
Feng Ce went to the tea room, walked into the secret passage, and reached the entrance of the enchantment, and found that Wen Bie had opened up this place.
It seems that Wen Bie not only broke out last time, but also completely destroyed the barrier.
This made it easier for Feng Ce to enter the Demon Building to purify the demon's heart.
Yesterday, the awakening spell awakened the people of the whole city, allowing Feng Ce to save tens of millions of bottles of purified water. Although he was sure of dealing with the corpse demon Moxin, he was still a little flustered when he stepped into the Demon Building.
Hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know how far the corpse demon heart has developed. If you are not careful in it, you may lose yourself, stay in this building forever, or... die in it.
However, stepping into the first floor, all is well.
On the second floor, nothing happened.
……
All the way to the ninth floor, there was no disturbance at all.
According to Feng Che's memory, Feng Ce found the corpse demon's heart that was locked at the bottom, but found that what was trapped by the iron chain was just a rotten and smelly demon's heart.
Could it be that the last time Wen Bie broke in it was already resolved?
Feng Ce couldn't believe it, but immediately left the Demon Building.
With the Demon Building destroyed, his next job will be much easier—as long as Yin Bingyu and Rou Qian don't suddenly appear to stop him.
Feng Ce stepped out of the barrier quickly with a nervous heart, and suddenly there was a "ding" sound from the system.
741: Congratulations to the host for completing the task of preventing Prince Rui from being lured into a demon by Yin Bingyu.
Obtained purification value: 10
Obtained props: 30 bottles of purified water
Feng Ce paused: What's the matter?
741: Prince Rui Zhao Jian and Emperor Zhao Mo died together in the Jinluan Palace, and died from the sword.
Feng Ce rubbed the center of his eyebrows, he was a little confused: both of them are dead?Has the edict to pass on the throne been written yet?
741: It happened suddenly, not at all.
So now we have to send Zhao Jingchen there first, and let the crown prince ascend the throne.
Feng Ce came out of the Twelve-tone Pavilion, and the death knell of the country had not yet finished ringing, one after another.
For some reason, at this time, the east was white, and it seemed that the sun was about to rise and the sky would clear.
People on the street opened the door and looked in the direction of the palace.
At this moment, a large wave of soldiers poured in from outside the city of Yongdu, led by He Qianqing's third elder brother, He Yihuan.
Feng Ce returned to the Hou Mansion, and found that Zhao Jingchen, who had heard the death knell of the country, had collapsed and was crying to leave. Jing Feng was hugging him and refusing to let him go.
Seeing Feng Ce, he finally stopped struggling, but cried and shouted: "Cousin! Father is dead!"
Feng Ce said, "You can't go out."
The soldiers brought by He Yihuan were so aggressive that they didn't look like they were sent by Beijiang to support them. Instead, they looked rebellious.
Of course, this is just Feng Ce's sixth sense.
Seeing that Zhao Jingchen didn't understand why Feng Ce didn't let him leave, Feng Ce added: "It's dangerous outside, wait for half an hour."
Sure enough, when Prince Rui died, He Yaozong, who had already led troops to surround the palace, felt that the timing was good, and planned to plot a rebellion with his third brother who had brought troops to support him.
Yong Du looked at the sky that was about to be sunny and suddenly turned cloudy again.
After half an hour, Feng Ce felt that it was almost time to take Zhao Jingchen back, so he asked Jingfeng to send Zhao Jingchen to the empress's side.
The longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation will be if the dragons have no leader.
The crown prince disappeared, and the people in the front court and the harem were in a mess. The people who followed Prince Rui before had all defected to He Yaozong. He Yaozong wanted to support the second prince as a puppet to ascend the throne first, and at that time he would be thrown away Kicked off the throne.
However, the Taifu and the prime minister were different, with He Yaozong holding his neck, he still believed that the eldest son should inherit the throne.
So for a while, someone in the harem asked the fourth prince to wear a dragon robe, and someone went around looking for the prince to come back.
Some of the people looking for the prince also had malicious intentions, such as He Yihuan, who had already started a city-wide search, and rewarded 100 taels of gold for anyone who provided information.
After Jingfeng sent Zhao Jingchen away, Feng Ce thought that Yin Bingyu and Rouqian should be watching the court situation at this time, and immediately went to the Shieryin Pavilion again, intending to completely eradicate the pear tree in the backyard.
A night of rain did not make the pear tree blossoms in the waning spring, on the contrary, they became more and more delicate, and the pear blossoms became more attractive with the rain.
The whole snow-white pear blossom has no trace of elegance, but it is as gorgeous and attractive as the fiery red crabapple.
It's just a different color.
Feng Ce originally wanted to burn it up with a fire, but thinking that Leng Zhu failed to burn it with fire last time, he gave up this idea.
Afterwards, Feng Ce squatted down under the pear tree, ready to take out the purified water from the system store, and try to see if the purified water can be purified successfully.
But when I turned on the system, I saw that the task of purifying Rouqian had reached 90%.
what's the situation?
