Chapter 370 Is Xie Yao okay?
In the courtyard.
Hearing the sound of Cheng Fengqi's footsteps as he left, Xuan Yue breathed a sigh of relief with an almost imperceptible intensity.
She did it on purpose.
Because her yard was not safe now, she didn't want Cheng Fengqi to come in, so she deliberately said that.
Obviously Cheng Fengqi also understood what she meant, so he followed her words and left quickly.
Talking to smart people is simple.
Xuan Yue just turned around and saw the black figure standing under the eaves, staring at her with a pair of sarcastic eyes, as if he could see through everything.
Xuan Yue's heart tightened, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Then a hoarse voice sounded, "Don't you want to be his concubine?"
"I can help you with this."
Wha, what do you mean?
There was confusion in Xuan Yue's eyes, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart. What was this man in black going to do to Cheng Fengqi?
"He's an official appointed by the imperial court..." Xuan Yue started to speak tentatively when the man in black sneered, "So what?"
"Don't worry." The man in black said, "As long as you behave yourself, you won't be implicated."
Before Xuan Yue could say anything else, the man in black's eyes suddenly turned cold, murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Or... are you lying to me?"
Xuan Yue naturally denied it.
Her life and Qian He's life were now in each other's hands, so how could she dare to lie? She could only pray in her heart: Nothing will happen to Cheng Fengqi.
After Cheng Fengqi left Xuan Yue's residence, he hurried into the palace.
Judging from what the Queen said to him last time and her attitude, the Queen still admires Xuan Yue very much.
She did not blame Xuan Yue for Xuan Shu's affairs, but it was difficult to get close to him because of his status. Now that Xuan Yue is in trouble, the Queen Mother will definitely not stand idly by.
Moreover, the capital city is currently in turmoil, with poisonous insects rampant, and Xuan Yue happened to get into trouble at this critical moment. This is too much of a coincidence.
Maybe these two things are related?
Naturally, he couldn't act rashly, let alone gamble with Xuan Yue's life.
Cheng Fengqi's mind was full of mixed thoughts, but his feet kept walking.
But before she even reached the entrance of the alley, she felt a strong wind blowing—
The Changning Marquisate is a family of nobles and their ancestors fought on the battlefield. Although Cheng Fengqi chose the path of a civil servant, his basic boxing skills are still pretty good.
He blocked immediately.
Suddenly, a man in black appeared and attacked Cheng Fengqi with swift movements.
The two men started fighting in the narrow alley.
Cheng Fengqi soon discovered that this man's punches and kicks were average. If he was at that level, he could easily defeat him.
At this moment, Cheng Fengqi suddenly felt a pain in his neck.
Then he suddenly froze and stopped where he was. The man in black also disappeared very quickly.
Cheng Fengqi stood there for a moment, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
At this moment, the "neighbors" living on both sides of Xuan Yue also looked into the alley because they heard unusual noises.
But he only saw Cheng Fengqi's back as he left, and behind him was a guard.
After leaving the alley, Cheng Fengqi got on a carriage and entered the palace as planned.
It was naturally very simple for Cheng Fengqi to meet the emperor.
He entered the Yangxin Palace very smoothly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Xiao Ji was sitting behind the dragon throne. When he heard Cheng Fengqi's voice, he frowned slightly. He realized something was wrong, so he looked up.
Cheng Fengqi's voice sounded a little stiff at this moment.
Before Xiao Ji could ask, Cheng Fengqi had already walked up to Xiao Ji step by step.
Xiao Ji: “???”
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but Cheng Fengqi said nothing. A tiny black shadow shot towards Xiao Ji at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Ji was an excellent fighter, so he naturally reacted quickly.
The pen in his hand swung in the air, leaving an afterimage, trying to cut down the flying insects.
But the insect was too small and moved so fast, and Xiao Ji was not prepared for Cheng Fengqi, so even Xiao Ji couldn't react!
