Yu Qingfeng wanted to punch this kid, but now, he was still thinking about her purse!

Just when Yu Qingfeng was about to take action, Pei Wuyan raised his hand to stop him and said jokingly: "Why bother? You should be the best able to understand my little brother's desire, right?"

Yu Qingfeng grabbed Pei Wuyan's elbow and pinched it back and forth, "Master Pei, the direction of your elbow is very strange. Aren't you curious about what the assassin dropped? It floated down. Is it worthy of this kid?

So showy?"

"I know what it is." Pei Wuyan and the young guard also tried to show off to Yu Qingfeng.

Yu Qingfeng disagreed, "You know?"

"Quick feathers, and peacock feathers." Pei Wuyan kept staring at the little guard as he spoke, "That's right?"

The young guard's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he forgot all about the disparity in status and honorific title, "You, how do you know? Commander Xiao said that this matter is not allowed to be spread to outsiders, how could you possibly know?"

Pei Wuyan was finally able to feel proud in front of Yu Qingfeng, but before he could feel proud, the little guard suddenly shouted.

"Ah - are you the thorn..."

Yu Qingfeng's fist still hit the little guard's head, "You kid, what are you yelling about?"

"I don't have the ability to fly over walls and walls," Pei Wuyan laughed at himself, "Okay, go down. If you want to keep this piece of silver and your head, you'd better control your mouth. What happened today...

"

"I have nothing to do today. I haven't seen you two adults before, so I'll take my leave." After the little guard finished speaking, he ran away in large strides.

"What's going on with peacock feathers?" Yu Qingfeng asked Pei Wuyan quickly.

Pei Wuyan looked around and said warily: "Although I didn't see anyone watching as far as I could see, I'd better go back to be on the safe side."

Yu Qingfeng endured her curiosity and thought about it all the way. She had some reasoning in her mind and hurried back to confirm with Pei Wuyan.

Returning to Dali Temple, she followed Pei Wuyan into his room. Yu Qingfeng didn't care about going back to change out of her official uniform, or whether it was appropriate for her to be there when Pei Wuyan changed out of his official uniform. She followed Pei Wuyan closely, wishing she could

He leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and asked quickly:

"You and the prince, you are acting this time, right? The prince is really under house arrest? If someone is really eavesdropping, wouldn't it be dangerous for the prince to tell you the truth? Did you say something that belongs to you?

Code word? Peacock feather is your code word?"

Pei Wuyan didn't see anyone outside at all and took off his official uniform in front of Yu Qingfeng.

Yu Qingfeng was also generous and didn't even turn her head. Anyway, she had already seen everything she should and shouldn't see, so there was no need to worry.

"Indeed, we are all acting." Pei Wuyan faced Yu Qingfeng head-on, held her shoulders with both hands, and turned her around.

Yu Qingfeng simply walked around in circles and then back again, insisting on facing Pei Wuyan who was changing clothes, "I have so many questions, but you answered them one by one."

Pei Wuyan sighed and continued to change clothes slowly, "From the first time I heard the prince's voice, I noticed something was wrong."

"He is sick, and his voice is indeed a little weak." Yu Qingfeng thought carefully, and found nothing wrong with his voice except that it was weak. "Is it because there is fear in his voice? Is there really someone hiding in the bed threatening him?"

Pei Wuyan shook his head, "The tone and timbre of his speech were different from before. In addition, he didn't want to show his face. Even if he did show his face later, it would only be half of his face, and it would be an exaggerated scowl."

"So you, you mean... that person is not Qi Jinglin at all?" Yu Qingfeng only believed that Qi Jinglin was under house arrest, but never thought that the villain would actually use a trick to change the prince.

"Only these two points make me suspicious. In fact, I don't have much confidence myself. But after hearing what he said about Cheng Minrong and Wang Gonggong, I became even more suspicious. How could he still be angry with me after such a big change?

?”

Yu Qingfeng shrugged and murmured sourly: "You are really confident in your relationship. Those who don't know better would think you two..."

Pei Wuyan changed into his casual clothes and took the time to tap Yu Qingfeng's forehead with his knuckles to stop her from continuing, "I will personally prove my orientation to you. How about tonight?"

Yu Qingfeng took a step back, her eyes drifting to Pei Wuyan's bed inadvertently, and then to Pei Wuyan beside her.

Pei Wuyan smiled half-heartedly, looking at Yu Qingfeng with burning eyes.

"Can you be more serious?" Yu Qingfeng avoided looking, walked to the table, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.

Pei Wuyan sat down opposite Yu Qingfeng and continued the serious conversation, "So next, I raised the matter of the marriage for confirmation."

Yu Qingfeng's finally adjusted mentality went astray again. Did Pei Wuyan mention the marriage to the prince a long time ago?

"When we were celebrating New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, the prince and I had a private chat, in a very private place, with the same volume as you and I talk now. At that time, I asked him for help and asked your majesty to grant a marriage. The prince's reaction was the same as that of the civet cat just now.

Same, saying he is not sure, after all, I am the third-rank minister of Dali Temple in the imperial court, and you...so you can only be a side wife at most, and you are still a concubine in essence."

"You should have known this a long time ago, so why bother mentioning it." Yu Qingfeng rolled her eyes. She had known that so far she was guaranteed to be Mrs. Fang, but she didn't expect that Pei Wuyan would have this idea during the Chinese New Year.

"Yes, I have known for a long time that even if the prince proposes it, His Majesty will not agree, so what I call a marriage grant is not a marriage grant for the two of us at all."

Yu Qingfeng was surprised. The joy and sweetness just now were wiped away, and she asked in a rough voice: "Then who do you want?"

Pei Wuyan was stunned for a moment, then tapped Yu Qingfeng's forehead again, "What are you thinking about? Who else can I want?"

"Then, then..." Yu Qingfeng was confused.

"My so-called betrothal gift is to ask the prince to propose to Your Majesty that the marriage to Lin Ming, the young minister of Dali Temple, be put on the agenda. Your Majesty has long planned to grant Lin Ming the daughter of the Minister of Industry and Commerce."

Yu Qingfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "You, the marriage you are talking about is a marriage to Lin Ming! What you do is too... too thief, isn't it?"

Pei Wuyan smiled heartlessly, "Chicken thief? Humph, except for this word, the prince's reaction was the same as yours. He also said that he wanted to get to know me again and evaluate my character."

"That's right, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You can't decide your own marriage, so you just go after your competitors' ideas." Yu Qingfeng suppressed laughter and complained seriously.

"I can't help it. This Lin Ming is obsessed with you every day. I think His Majesty has already had this intention anyway, so why not go ahead and let him give up on you as soon as possible. Are you a villain?"

Yu Qingfeng finally couldn't help it and nodded with a smile. She thought that if Lin Ming knew that Pei Wuyan was doing this little trick behind his back, he would really roar: "Listen to me and thank you."

"The prince thought I was joking at that time, so I didn't insist on it anymore. No, His Majesty didn't grant me a marriage. Lin Ming still held out hope of marrying you."

"Hang on, stop, why are you going off topic again?" Yu Qingfeng waved her hand, "Let's get back to the topic, so you tried to confirm it with the marriage grant, but it turned out that the civet cat really misunderstood and took the wrong step."

"That's right. Now that I've confirmed that the prince is fake, I will comply with their wishes and completely break off all relations with this fake prince. In this way, they won't have to deal with me in the future, and I won't have to work hard to act with them. I will have time to track them down.

The whereabouts of the true prince."

Yu Qingfeng suddenly wondered, "Could it be that Eunuch Wang is not dead, but he escaped with the prince?"

"That must be the case. The prince and the prince were first under house arrest and could not ask for help from Dali Temple; then Cheng Minrong was taken away by the envoy; then the prince and the prince found the opportunity to escape from the East Palace with the prince. The reason why they did not go to Dali Temple for help should be

It’s because the enemy has already set up an ambush near Dali Temple.”

"So the assassin that the little guard just mentioned the night before the prince's death was actually not the killer of Qianji Pavilion, but - the prince?" Yu Qingfeng suddenly understood, "the prince showed up alone on purpose, not to escape, but to

Attract the attention of the guards and let more people discover him and the feathers he left behind, the better, because the feathers are the secret code he passed to you?"

Pei Wuyan looked at Yu Qingfeng with admiration and doting, and nodded, "Yes, the prince is very skilled in martial arts. He must have taken the prince to escape from the East Palace, went to find Que Ling, and then returned alone, pretending to be an assassin and leaving Que Ling behind."

"The dignified prince is really miserable. If he hadn't reached the end of his rope, how could he have allowed the dove to occupy the magpie's nest and run away from his own territory? Could it be that his appearance is... no longer enough to prove his identity?" Yu Qingfeng imagined.

After looking at Qi Jinglin's situation, he shuddered.

"Even if the road ends, there will always be a bright future. The most important thing now is to find the prince and the prince. And the clue to their escape route is Que Ling."

"The prince likes Cheng Minrong so much, so the escape route should be to the Southwest Dian Kingdom?" Yu Qingfeng thought for a while, but couldn't think of any connection between Que Ling and the Southwest Dian Kingdom.

Pei Wuyan remained silent, waiting for Yu Qingfeng to continue reasoning.

"That's right!" Yu Qingfeng had an epiphany and in excitement, she slammed the table hard, frightening Pei Wuyan.

Yu Qingfeng said excitedly: "The villain who is chasing the prince will definitely be the same as me, thinking that the prince will go to the southwest and go to Dadian Kingdom to rescue his beloved woman. So since the prince and the prince are now in decline, they must first hide

When chasing troops, you must not escape to the southwest.

"Then the best direction is to go in the opposite direction, any direction except southwest. The clue is peacock feathers, peacock, peacock flying southeast! So the prince's hint is southeast."

Pei Wuyan smiled and said nothing.

"Isn't it right? Doesn't it mean that the peacock flies southeast?" Yu Qingfeng's excitement and confidence disappeared in an instant, "That's right, that's right. If I can crack the code so easily, can't the villain also crack it? The prince and the others did this.

The risk is too great.”

Pei Wuyan explained: "Que Ling is the secret code left by the prince, and as you said, the more people can see it, the better. This will increase the chance that it will reach me in Dali Temple. Que Ling is indeed in

It implies that the peacock flies southeast. But it does not imply the southeast direction."
