Chapter 64: Move with the Wind (6)
Zhou Yan's idea was correct. When he was about to go to the next floor with Yin Yin, he heard a noise at the entrance to the third floor. After a while, two jailers came up from the third floor carrying a stretcher with a person lying on it, and a jailer led the way in panic...
"What happened?"
The jailer who was leading Zhou Yan and Yin Yin hurried forward when he saw this. He wanted to find out the situation before attracting Zhou Yan's attention. It would not be surprising even if a corpse was carried out from the third floor, but now that Zhou Yan and Yin Yin were there, they could not be careless. If they carried a corpse, it would definitely cause Zhou Yan's dissatisfaction, and then they would be implicated, so the jailer who led the way had to be cautious.
"Warden Tao--"
"What's wrong? Eh? This is—"
Just when he was about to ask about the situation, the prison warden who was leading Zhou Yan and Yin Yin was so frightened that he dared not speak after seeing the person lying on the stretcher. He just stood there stupidly with the three jailers who came up. Zhou Yan, who had noticed the situation from the beginning, was a little concerned about their actions, so he helped Yin Yin walk together...
"What's going on?"
"Eh? Ah, meet the prince and princess!!"
Seeing Zhou Yan and Yin Yin's arrival, the three jailers who had just come up were so scared that they knelt down and saluted in a hurry, and also put the stretcher on the ground. Before she could respond to the three jailers' salute, Yin Yin had already noticed the person lying on the stretcher; the white prison uniform was tattered and bloody, and there were only bloodstained scars, bruises and swelling on his face and body, as if he had been soaked in water. In addition to being soaked in blood, the prison uniform also had traces of being soaked in water. These are not important. What is important is that the person lying on the stretcher is the purpose of Yin Yin's visit this time. Seeing the unrecognizable face and pale complexion, she knows the result without asking.
The next moment, Yin Yin's eyes went dark, and it was as if all the strength in her body was drained away in an instant...
“Yin Yin!!”
Before Yinyin collapsed to the ground, Zhou Yan supported her in time. In Zhou Yan's arms, Yinyin regained consciousness a little...
"You, lied to me—"
When Yin Yin's voice died, she also lost consciousness.
"Yin Yin!!!"
No longer caring about the meaning of Yin Yin's words, Zhou Yan just worriedly picked up Yin Yin quickly and walked back the way he came. The fact that Zhou Yan and Yin Yin came here had made the jailers in the entire dungeon panic. At this moment, Zhou Yan repeatedly warned Ma Feng to save his life, and Yin Yin also fell down because of this. The jailers were already panicked and terrified!
The news of Yin Yin's fainting spread quickly...
The north wing of the palace.
"Really? It looks just as I imagined."
"Yes, Master."
Feng Yan was reporting the situation to Feng Qinghan, and Feng Qinghan acted as if everything was as expected, with his usual leisurely attitude...
"master--"
"Eh? What's going on?"
"Since the princess's reaction was within the master's prediction, then the master should also know that Prince Jing will guess who drove the princess to see Ma Feng, right?"
"Of course. Prince Jing is a smarter person than you think. He will guess it."
Feng Yan acted as if it was a matter of course, without any sense of being in trouble. He was not worried because his opponent was Zhou Yan, nor was he worried about what would happen to Feng Qinghan. He just couldn't figure it out. It was like this every time. Although he was used to it, he would still ask questions subconsciously.
"Then why did the master do this? Isn't this creating unnecessary trouble? Prince Jing can't possibly not investigate, right?"
"Um."
If Feng Yan had not been following Feng Qinghan all the time and had some understanding of his habits, he would have been tortured to death by Feng Qinghan's indifferent attitude towards facts. As a subordinate, it would be a dereliction of duty if he could not figure out the master's habits. Fortunately, Feng Qinghan did not hate being asked, otherwise Feng Yan would have been dead long ago.
"Please forgive my rudeness. I just don't understand why the master did this. If Prince Jing investigates, won't the master be unable to stay with the princess? Or has the master already planned to leave?"
"Why are you leaving?"
In response to Feng Yan's concern, Feng Qinghan asked him the reason instead. The reason was so obvious that Feng Yan felt there was no need to say it. He also couldn't understand what Feng Qinghan meant.
"The good show has just begun. If you leave now, won't you miss it?"
Feng Yan was getting more and more confused. Feng Qinghan had clearly said that Yinyin was the one he chose, so why did he use such a random method ? Could it be that Feng Qinghan was tired of her? No, Feng Yan didn't think that Feng Qinghan would give up before he got her. Although this was the first time that Feng Qinghan had persisted in a long-term pursuit, he shouldn't have forgotten about Yinyin now. Speaking of forgetting, Feng Qing didn't know whether Feng Qinghan had used his feelings. The only thing he knew now was that Feng Qinghan had already started to act. Of course, what Feng Qinghan wanted to do was something Feng Yan could never see through.
The turmoil caused by Feng Qinghan has officially begun. Will Yinyin become hostile to Zhou Yan as he wishes? Will Zhou Yan hold Feng Qinghan accountable for this? Just from Feng Qinghan's relaxed attitude, one can feel that everything is under his control...
The spring breeze was blowing gently over the palace, but it was accompanied by a hint of an approaching storm...
