Chapter 12: Something Happened
In the inner courtyard of Du'an Pharmacy, the eldest grandson sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the lime who had not yet woken up, a faint sadness flashed on her beautiful face, the lime was brought up by her hand, and she was the only person who could still talk after she entered the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The most ruthless emperor's family, the intrigue and conspiracy in the palace are everywhere, she has long been incompetent and exhausted, for this reason, the lime who has not yet been weak in the crown has silently helped her shoulder the affairs of Weiyang Palace, and it has been the same for seven years.
"Knock Knock"
Outside the room, there was a knock on the door, and the eldest grandson came back to his senses and said softly, "The door is not locked, come in"
"Queen Mother, I'm back"
In his ears, a familiar voice sounded, and the eldest grandson turned around, directly ignoring Ning Chen, who was smiling proudly, and instead looked at the Taiping Marquis beside the latter.
"Big Brother"
The eldest grandson's eyes were stunned, and a rare flash of excitement rose, and he spoke.
"Don't worry, thank you for your hard work"
Looking at the sister who was still beautiful in front of him, but had the breath of time, Taiping Hou was full of emotion in his heart and sighed softly.
On the side, the smile on Ning Chen's face was very bright, and he tried to open his eyes wide, do you see it, this is all my credit, you praise me, hurry up and praise me.
It's a pity that the eldest grandson was very excited, and when he was excited, he forgot about the heroes, and the Taiping Marquis had no intention of taking care of Ning Chen at all, so the heroes were ruthlessly forgotten aside.
"Ningchen"
Fortunately, the eldest grandson is not an ordinary person, and after a short period of excitement, he quickly stabilized his mind, glanced at Ning Chen on the side, and spoke.
"Huh?" Ning Chen's face was happy, and he finally remembered the hero, and quickly stood straight, which means that you praise it, I will listen.
"You go out first, this palace has something to say to the Taiping Hou"
“……”
Ning Chen ran away with tears, his heart was as broken as tofu dregs.
"This son, not bad"
The Marquis of Taiping weighed for a moment, and finally decided to remind the eldest grandson that he was quick and wise, bold, but not losing his normal heart, he was a good seedling, and if he cultivated it well, he would definitely be able to become a character in his own right.
The eldest grandson glanced at the former differently, there are not many people who can make his eldest brother praise so much, and he can count them on one hand.
The Marquis of Taiping simply said what happened today, and the eldest grandson who listened also nodded secretly, such a quick wit is indeed unusual for ordinary people, and at the same time of admiration, he couldn't help but sigh at the same time that his nephew was not angry.
"Yun Xuan is still young, it's just a matter of punishing him, don't hurt the relationship between father and son because of this" For some reason, the eldest grandson deliberately stopped mentioning Ning Chen's matter, but changed the topic.
Taiping Hou nodded, and said, "I have my own opinions on this matter, don't worry, why did you leave the palace this time, and let yourself fall into such a big danger, this is not in line with your consistent and rigorous style of doing things."
"I have to do it" The eldest grandson sighed softly, "Presumably the eldest brother also knows about the danger on the northern border, the royal court of Beimeng is no longer what it used to be, and Emperor Xia's desire to send troops was blocked by the will of heaven, and now only his father who is sitting in the northwest can secretly help with reinforcements."
"Although I have heard of it, I didn't expect that the Northern Mongolian Royal Court will eventually become a big disaster" The Taiping Marquis has a heavy heart, the former barbarian land, but today it has become a needle on the back of Daxia, which is really unexpected.
"Most of the courtiers in the court still have an impression of the Northern Mongolian court ten years ago, so they don't care very much, but unfortunately, the providence makes people, and Emperor Xia finally decided to send troops against public opinion, but was disrupted by a sudden accident."
The eldest grandson's heart is also heavy and abnormal, if he misses this opportunity, no one knows what kind of price Great Xia will pay, but there is no doubt that this price will definitely be unbearable for them.
In recent years, the Northern Mongolian royal court has been fighting in recent years, and its heart has long been clear, and the soldiers and horses in the northern part of Great Xia are no longer enough to resist the greatly increased strength of the Northern Mongolian iron cavalry, and the matter of sending troops cannot be delayed.
"In the final analysis, the existence of the Cult of the Eternal Night God is the greatest source of disaster, this organization that has existed for thousands of years controls the faith of the world, and its influence is really terrifying."
The Marquis of Taiping is not a mediocre person, so he can naturally guess the reason why Emperor Xia does not send troops, although Great Xia is strong, but it is not strong enough to be the enemy of the world, the sky has sent disaster police, and wars are everywhere, sending troops at this moment is not intended to be the best excuse for the Eternal Night God Cult to promote the world's invasion of Xia.
The most terrifying thing, I'm afraid this is just the beginning, the existence of the Northern Meng Royal Court and the Eternal Night God Cult has restrained Daxia too much energy, and there is no time to take care of anything else, and some forces that have surrendered to the force of Daxia in the past are likely to surface one by one.
Sitting on the Central Plains for thousands of years, Great Xia has been invincible for too long, and there is no doubt that it has already become the target of public criticism, and what those who are ready to move are just waiting for an opportunity.
The Central Plains is prosperous and rich, just like a piece of fat, anyone wants to come up and bite it, now Daxia has a strong military deterrence, no one dares to be a bird, but if the general trend of the world to cut down Xia appears, these hidden forces will inevitably show their long-hidden fangs.
"Don't worry, I'll send you back to the palace first"
Time is pressing, the Taiping Marquis immediately decided, no longer delayed, one day earlier to reinforce the north, the crisis in Daxia will be alleviated one day earlier, time is running out, there is no room for the slightest hesitation.
Half an hour later, the carriage was already waiting in the courtyard, and Ning Chen, as a coolie, was naturally responsible for carrying the lime into the car.
"Uncle shopkeeper, don't forget to go to Lingyan Pavilion tomorrow to pay back the tea money, and I'll pay you back when I send you" Before leaving, Ning Chen was still reluctant to leave, and chattered for a long time, and only after finding that the eldest grandson's face was not right, he reluctantly followed the eldest grandson back to the palace.
After the eldest grandson and Ning Chen returned to the palace, it was already dark and could not be darker anymore, and it was inconvenient for the Taiping Marquis to enter the palace, so he sent the eldest grandson to the palace gate and left.
"What's going on"
After entering the palace, both the eldest grandson and Ning Chen found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the palace, and the guards were running, and it seemed that something big had happened.
"What's wrong?" asked the eldest grandson Ning Chen as he stopped a Praetorian Guard general.
"Tell the queen that someone broke into the imperial study at night, and His Majesty was furious and ordered the entire palace to be searched," the general of the Praetorian Guard replied respectfully.
Ning Chen was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was very anxious.
"Ning Chen, you take the lime back first, this palace is going to go to the Heavenly Oracle Palace" The eldest grandson got out of the carriage and immediately ordered.
"Yes" Ning Chen lowered his head, avoiding the attention of the eldest grandson, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, that stupid woman, don't do stupid things.
After the eldest grandson left, Ning Chen hurriedly rushed towards Weiyang Palace with the lime, because he was in a hurry, he didn't even hear the soft groans that sounded in the carriage.
Back in Weiyang Palace, after Ning Chen carried the lime back to the room, he rushed towards his residence without stopping, but he didn't find that behind him, a pair of bright eyes quietly opened, looking at his back thoughtfully, without saying a word.
"Twilight Snow"
Pushing open the door, the first thing he found was that the beautiful figure was lying on the side of the bed with blood stained clothes, Ning Chen's face was shocked, and he quickly closed the door and hugged the former to the bed.
Seeing that the blood on Du Chengxue's right shoulder stained half of his clothes red, and his breath was free, Ning Chen couldn't care about the difference between men and women, and tore the clothes on his shoulders with a stabbing sound, but saw that the sword on his right shoulder was completely wounded, and there was no other wound.
Ning Chen was anxious, and his heart was even more anxious, this sword was obviously not a fatal injury, Du Chengxue was seriously injured and unconscious, but he didn't understand medical skills, and he didn't know what the real injury was.
"Medicine, yes, medicine"
Ning Chen remembered the life-saving medicine that Du Chengxue had given him, and at this moment he could only hope that she would give him one left, gritting his teeth, he couldn't care so much anymore, and his hands groped on his body.
"No?"
At this moment, Ning Chen's face turned white and he was at a loss.
What to do, what to do, Ning Chen felt that he was so powerless for the first time.
"You must find a way to get out of the palace"
After thinking for a moment, Ning Chen's heart was crossed, he no longer hesitated, picked up Du Chengxue and walked outside, fortunately he came back in a carriage, which could play a good cover.
When he just entered the palace, many guards had seen him, and it might be the best time to go out at this moment.
He didn't know what the outcome would be if he left, but if he didn't leave now, Twilight Chengxue would definitely die, he was not a noble person, but he was not a coward.
He promised Twilight Chengxue that if he wanted to take her out, he would do it.
"Bang"
At this moment, the door was opened with a bang, and Ning Chen's footsteps paused, and his body trembled suddenly.
"Sister Lime"
The familiar shadow in front of him made Ning Chen breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not a palace guard, but the next moment, his body became tense again.
He had almost forgotten that Lime was the most loyal of his eldest grandson, and that he was more dangerous than the Praetorian Guard.
"Why are you here?"
Ning Chen thought about it, he didn't feel that he had any flaws exposed, and besides, Lime had been in a coma, and it was impossible for him to notice anything.
"You are not a careless person, how can you not even notice that I woke up, the only explanation, there is something on your mind"
Lime's face was still pale, blocking the door, and said coldly.
"Is she the one who entered the palace to assassinate, Ning Chen, you disappointed me too much"
Lime glanced at the woman in Ning Chen's arms, her eyes became cold, she didn't expect that the assassin who made the entire palace guards desperately find was hiding in Weiyang Palace, she was really careless.
Ning Chen sighed in a deep voice, knowing that it was useless to explain again, he took two steps back and pulled the rope next to the bed, and suddenly, the door of the room slammed shut, and a rope net fell silently.
Lime sensed that something was wrong and wanted to dodge, but he felt that his chest was stagnant, his breath was not smooth, and his steps slowed down by half a minute, and he was caught by the falling rope net.
Ning Chen didn't expect that the mechanism he set up would one day be used on Lime, but fortunately, Lime had just woken up and couldn't even move, otherwise this small mechanism would basically be of no use.
"Sister Lime, I'm sorry"
Ning Chen put Du Chengxue down, and immediately stepped forward to tie Lime's hands and feet and seal her mouth, then untied the rope net and carried her to the bed.
"Whether you believe it or not, Sister Lime, I have never had an unfavorable idea for you and the queen mother, I happened to meet Twilight Chengxue on the night I entered the palace, and she helped me, so I must save her, this is what I promised her, it is impossible and will not be broken"
Ning Chen covered the lime with a thin quilt, and chattered, he knew that he might never have the chance to see each other again, he had only been in this world for a few days, and the lime was the best person for him, he didn't want to hide it, but he didn't want to deceive.
After doing this, Ning Chen picked up Du Chengxue and walked out, before going out of the door, he looked back for the last time, his eyes were intertwined, he grinned brightly, and said:
"Finally, I still have something I want to say but I haven't dared to say, Sister Lime, you are so fierce to see who dares to ask you in the future"
The door closed, Ning Chen left, on the bed, Lime stared at the door tightly, and her tense body loosened little by little.
She didn't know if it was right or wrong for her to do this, but she knew she didn't regret it, not today, not in the future.
He was still so stupid, how could he not think about it, how could she be caught by this simple rope net, she didn't dodge, but it didn't mean that she couldn't break free.
It's a good thing he's still so stupid......
