Chapter 73: Strictly Guard, Never Put One
Ning Chao frowned, he was the most powerful person beside Bei Mingxuan, he had never been so nervous as at this time, because his current decision was related to Bei Mingxuan's life and the safety of the Ming Palace.
Great responsibility, more pressure!
He turned his head and looked at Ruan Jiujiu, who was doing the needle.
She is very serious, and her seriousness makes people feel that she has a sense of authority, which makes people involuntarily believe in her.
"Zou Meng, you take people, guard the surroundings of the summer courtyard, and never let anyone come in and disturb Miss Ruan."
"Yes!"
"I'm going to guard the gate."
After Ning Chao finished speaking, he walked away, and Zou Meng also hurriedly took people to arrange.
As soon as Ning Chao came out of the gate, he found that the situation was worse than he had imagined.
The Imperial City Guards stood a few steps away from the Ming Palace, and they all pressed the handle of their knives with their hands, looking at the frame, it was clear that they wanted to break in.
He stared coldly at the leader standing in front of the Praetorian Guard, and asked in a cold voice, "Lord Zhao, are you planning to lead troops into the Ming Palace?" ”
When Zhao Yuan, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, heard this, he smiled and said, "General Ning said that he was joking, the lower officials were just to catch the key criminals, and they also hoped that the Ming Wangfu would not be affected. ”
"There's nothing to do in the Ming Palace." Ning Chao said coldly, gestured together, and the guards of the Ming Wang's Mansion behind him were also lined up, confronting the Praetorian Guard.
"Xiaguan got the news that the key culprit who murdered Princess Changle fled into the Ming Palace, which is the residence of His Royal Highness the Ming King, for the safety of His Royal Highness the Ming King, and at the same time, the lower official is also responsible for it, so please make it convenient for General Ning." Zhao Yuan was not afraid at all, he had already made preparations.
Ning Chao sneered: "Isn't Lord Zhao afraid that the prince will be angry?" ”
"If it disturbs the prince, the lower officials are willing to come to the prince in person and kneel down to ask for guilt!" Zhao Yuan had no intention of retreating.
Ning Chao's face changed, the other party knew that Bei Mingxuan was poisoned, and it was expected that the prince would not be able to come out to stop it.
It's just too deceitful!
"Lord Zhao must enter?"
"Yes! Where is the duty of the lower officials! ”
Ning Chao snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said loudly: "The soldiers of the Ming Palace's Mansion listen to the order, before dawn, they will definitely not let any flies enter the palace!" ”
Zhao Yuan's face changed, Ning Chao's words were almost the same if he didn't tear his face.
He also said in a loud voice: "Prepare to arrest the important criminal!" ”
For a time, in front of the gate of the Ming Palace, the saber rattling, the atmosphere was agitated, and the heavy rain was coming!
At this time, around the summer courtyard, Zou Meng carried a knife to patrol four times, but from time to time there were guards to report.
"General, two more assassins have been intercepted."
Zou Meng strode over and saw two men in night clothes lying dead at the base of the wall.
When I took off the mask, it was a raw face, and I couldn't tell who it was, but one after another, there were already more than a dozen people who were about to break into the summer courtyard.
He arranged the guards who stayed in the palace around the summer courtyard, although he could deal with it, but if someone kept breaking in, in case something went wrong and disturbed Ruan Jiujiu, it would not be good.
"How is Ning Wei there?" Zou Meng asked.
"Ning Wei is not easy there, the forbidden army is blocking the door, it seems that they have to come in and arrest people!"
"Fuck it!" Zou Meng was in a hurry, and the foul words came out, "You guard the summer courtyard for me, let one go, and take your own life!" ”
"Yes!"
Zou Meng rushed into the summer courtyard with a white face, guarding the periphery, he had to guard the front of the hall, and he must not let people disturb Ruan Jiujiu.
At this moment, Ruan Jiujiu didn't know what was going on outside, and now she only had Bei Mingxuan in her eyes, or the poison on Bei Mingxuan's body.
She was more focused than ever before, but this time it was harder than ever.
She has to be careful, because everything is her guess and assumption, she can't have any carelessness, every stitch is a difficult choice, every stitch is a game with life and death.
Although Ming Yu'er has been carefully wiping her sweat, the sweat still wet her clothes.
Now, everyone's heart is tight!
"Ruan Jiujiu!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came in, and the room trembled in shock, Ruan Jiujiu's back also moved, and Ming Yu'er was so anxious that her little face turned white.
She ran outside and saw that Zou Meng's face was also pale, and there was a corpse lying in front of him.
"What's the matter, why did someone call the girl's name?"
"His grandmother's, I don't know what's going on, he suddenly roared before he died, and I can't stop it!" Zou Meng was also sweating with fright, the assassin roared before he died just now, which really surprised him.
Ming Yu'er's face turned pale.
At this time, there was another shout outside.
"Ruan Jiujiu!"
Nothing else, just shout Ruan Jiujiu's name loudly, and every sentence carries internal force, enough to penetrate into the hall for Ruan Jiujiu to hear.
This is clearly to disturb Ruan Jiujiu's mind.
Listening to the shouts one after another, Steward Ming couldn't help but turn pale in the hall, and kept chanting the blessings of the gods, beckoning Ming Yu'er to close the door of the hall and the windows to close.
However, this does not do much.
The sound is still coming in.
Looking at Ruan Jiujiu again, there was more sweat on her forehead, and her little face was whiter, obviously because she was disturbed, and she was holding on.
"Poof!"
Suddenly, there was a sound, and the father and daughter of the housekeeper were all trembling, and they were even more shocked.
Bei Mingxuan, who had been closing his eyes, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Ruan Jiujiu also had a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his lips.
What can I do?
The father and daughter glanced at each other and wanted to ask, but they didn't dare, so Ming Yu'er hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe Ruan Jiujiu's sweat.
"Quick, take a piece of ginseng and stuff it into the prince's mouth."
Who knows, Ruan Jiujiu spoke, his voice weak.
Steward Ming hurriedly took the ginseng, stuffed it into Bei Mingxuan's mouth, put three pieces, and handed another one to Ruan Jiujiu.
Ruan Jiujiu opened his mouth and bit it, then closed his eyes and frowned, trembling slightly.
She felt that it was more tiring than if she had gone to fight a tough battle.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and exhaled weakly.
"Miss Ruan, how is he, Lord Wang?" Steward Ming saw that Bei Mingxuan showed no signs of waking up at all, and couldn't help but ask.
Ruan Jiujiu didn't answer, but asked, "Is the medicine cured?" ”
"Huh? Alright, alright! Always have it ready! Steward Ming reacted and brought the medicinal juice up.
Ruan Jiujiu took a breath and said, "Feed him." ”
Steward Ming saw that Ruan Jiujiu was very tired at this time, so he beckoned his daughter, one of them took a bowl and the other took a spoon, and they wanted to feed the medicine to Bei Mingxuan.
But Bei Mingxuan had his teeth tightly closed, and he couldn't drink the medicine at all.
"I'm coming!" Ruan Jiujiu felt speechless.
She took the medicine bowl, swallowed it directly, lowered her head and fed it into the mouth of Bei Mingxuan.
"Ruan, Ruan......" Steward Ming was stunned.
Ming Yu'er was even more shocked that her jaw was about to drop.
"If he doesn't drink it, how can he be cured? Things are urgent, and there is no distinction between men and women in front of the doctor. Ruan Jiujiu knew that his behavior was too beyond the imagination of the two people in front of him, so he had to explain it like this.
Steward Ming's heart trembled, and he thought that Ning Chao had said that this girl was something that could be with the prince, so he began to comfort himself.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay between husband and wife.
Ruan Jiujiu didn't know that in Steward Ming's heart, she had already become a "husband and wife" with Beiming Xuan.
After feeding the medicine, Ruan Jiujiu really felt that he was about to collapse.
At this time, there was another shout of "Ruan Jiujiu" outside.
Her face changed.
My aunt and grandmother are not dead yet, call your sister's soul!
She picked up a piece of ginseng, chewed it a few times, then took a long breath, lifted her spirits, and walked out.
"Girl, what should I do?" Steward Ming was in a hurry and shouted after him.
Ruan Jiujiu didn't reply: "Guard!" ”
When Steward Ming heard this, he stopped his steps, hurriedly retreated, and guarded the North Mystery with his daughter.
Ruan Jiujiu opened the door and went out, and saw Zou Meng swearing and fighting with an assassin.
"What's it called? When my aunt and grandmother came, did she plan to call my aunt out and ask my aunt for candy? ”
The assassin on the opposite side was stunned, but he didn't expect Ruan Jiujiu to really be shouted out, and at this moment, Zou Meng stabbed over, and his life was confessed.
Zou Meng looked ecstatic.
"Miss Ruan, you're here!"
No wonder Zou Meng is so excited, he can't hold it anymore.
"What's going on, why do these people keep calling my name?" Ruan Jiujiu asked.
Zou Meng's face was angry: "The guards in the palace came, saying that they wanted to arrest the girl, saying that you were plotting to kill Princess Changle, Ning Wei was guarding in front, who knew that he couldn't come in the open, so he came to the dark, and sent a lot of bastards to break into the summer courtyard, and I don't know who came up with the idea, and I have been calling the girl's name!" ”
"Yo, I look up to this girl so much!" Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyebrows coldly, "Let's go, go to the front and take a look, my aunt and grandmother want to ask why Princess Changle was murdered by this girl." ”
What is the murder of Princess Changle, these are all excuses, I don't know what the situation in the palace is now, but since Emperor Tianlong sent someone, it means that Murong didn't hold it there, Murong was brought into the palace by her, and if something happened to him, it would be her fault.
Ruan Jiujiu came out of the summer courtyard, and the shouting outside stopped, and she was protected by Zou Meng, and she arrived at the gate of the Ming Palace.
In front of the gate, the swords of the Praetorian Guards and the guards of the Ming Palace's Mansion were almost matched.
The Praetorian Guards came from the bright side, so naturally they couldn't directly lift their knives like those assassins, and the guards of the Ming Palace's Mansion tried not to strike first, so until now, it was still a confrontation situation.
It's just that the last grass that crushed the camel was about to be crushed.
"Who said that the lord of this county plotted to kill Princess Changle, get out of here!"
Zhao Yuanzheng was confronting Ning Chao with big eyes, and suddenly heard a crisp drink, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Ruan Jiujiu striding out, and his eyes lit up.
"The fugitive is out, arrest immediately!"
As soon as he gave the order, the Praetorian Guards were about to rush, but as soon as he rushed, he saw the sword shadow in front of him flashing like lightning, and he instantly felt a pain in his fingers, and the sword and severed finger in his hand crackled and smashed to the ground.
Ning Chao stood with his sword in his hand, and the blood on the sword was still dripping.
He said coldly: "Who dares to be presumptuous in front of the Ming Palace!" ”
