Chapter XIII: Assassination
Xia Ruqian thought about it: "It's just a few pots of chrysanthemums, I don't think the prince will mind, right?" β
"I don't mind! The princess wants to give it away, even if it is. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Ning Qing glanced at the Queen Mother aggrievedly.
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "What's the matter, you can't go around the palace, what is the princess afraid of?" β
The queen glanced at Xia Ruqian, and came out to play haha: "The queen mother doesn't have to be angry, presumably the two have just gotten married, and they are newlyweds, like glue, I'm afraid they don't have the leisure to entertain guests!" β
"Hmph, what is that? Do you still want to learn from the excesses? It's so unbelievable! β
"The queen mother is angry, Miss Qing'er wants to come to the palace, and she should try her best to entertain her, and she is not ambiguous."
"That's pretty much it." The Queen Mother smiled slightly.
Xia Ruqian sighed and sat down, it's okay now, it's really a wave of unevenness.
The Ninth Prince played with the jade cup for a while, and drank all the wine inside: "This is a guest you invited yourself, solve it yourself, don't bother the king." β
Cut, it's not the rotten peach blossom you provoked yourself!
Xia Ruqian glanced at the Nine Princes and complained in her heart.
The next step is to stagger, push the cup and change the lamp.
Xia Ruqian had nowhere to vent her anger, and suddenly saw the food and buried her head in eating.
Everything is normal, it's just that the emperor's and queen's eyes are a little subtle, Xia Ruqian is a little concerned, but he can't understand.
When the banquet was about to end, the emperor suddenly summoned the prince to the study, saying that there was something to discuss. Xia Ruqian sat in the carriage and waited for a long time, and when the prince came back, the banquet had already dispersed. Only the carriage of the palace remained.
Autumn is strong, autumn is strong, and the sky gets dark very quickly.
Xia Ruqian lifted the curtain and looked out, there was no one on the road, and the shadows of the woods on both sides were a little terrifying.
Xia Ruqian shuddered, quickly put down the curtain, shook his head, and warned himself in his heart not to scare himself.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Li An's voice sounded outside the car: "Lord Wang, there is an ambush." β
"How many?" The prince raised his head.
"At least thirty by eye, I don't know if there is a follow-up."
"I didn't expect them to be so uncontrollable and have to do it so quickly. It seems that someone has mixed in with the palace! The Nine Princes' eyes were deep, and his left hand stroked the wrench of his right index finger.
"Lord Wang, wait a while, you and the princess will go first, we only have fifteen guards plus secret guards now, and there may be danger."
"Diversion, go back." As soon as the ninth prince ordered, he lifted the curtain and went out, paused and turned back to Xia Ruqian and said, "Stay inside and don't move." β
As soon as the prince left, Xia Ruqian immediately lifted the curtain and looked out.
The guards of the palace and a group of black-clothed people have been in a scuffle, there are cold arrows in the distance, some of the guards fall in response, Xia Ruqian fell into the carriage, the arrow pierced the wall of the carriage, but did not penetrate.
Xia Ruqian patted his chest and stood up, and couldn't help but open the curtain of the car, the groom was still trying to turn the front of the car, but before he could turn around, he was shot by a cold arrow and went down.
A group of black-clothed people poured in the distance, and Xia Ruqian knew that the carriage was no longer safe, and he had to find a place to hide.
She pulled the already frightened cloud and jumped out of the carriage.
The sky was completely dark, and I couldn't see my five fingers, and I couldn't see the enemy clearly, but I only heard Li An hurriedly shouting to protect the prince and go first.
It seems that the prince also joined the battle.
Xia Ruqian bent on his waist, stepped over the corpse on the ground, and carefully slipped into the woods.
Coming soon, coming soon, a little more.
Xia Ruqian encouraged herself in her heart.
However, the woods are really a little far away, and Xia Rushallow and anxious.
Suddenly, the clouds behind her did not move, and Xia Ruqian looked back at her. The cloud stretched out his finger to the left, his lips moving, but he didn't make a sound.
Xia Ruqian followed her fingers and looked over, it turned out that there was a horse. Xia Ruqian didn't have the heart to think that she couldn't ride a horse at all, she only had one thought, ride away, the sooner the better, and her body was already anxious to the horse.
When Xia Ruqian pulled the horse, the horse did not have any overreaction, and it seemed that it was trained very well. She grabbed the reins and tried to go up, but the horse's back was too high, and she couldn't do it after several attempts.
Suddenly, a force pushed her up, Xia Ruqian immediately hugged the horse's neck, stabilized herself, and a person behind her also turned over on the horse. Xia Ruqian didn't have time to look back to see who it was, so the horse ran up.
"Bend down." As soon as the voice behind him came out, Xia Ruqian immediately recognized that it was the voice of the prince.
She followed the force pressed on her back, bent down, and then felt that the prince also bent down and stuck to her back.
Xia Ruqian felt that there was a noisy voice behind her, and when she turned her head, it was the handsome face of the prince, only a stone's throw away from herself.
"The step on my head, Zama's ass." Xia Ruqian was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear and shouted loudly.
The Nine Princes immediately understood, took off the step shake on Xia Ruqian's head, and stabbed the horse fiercely, the horse was in pain, and immediately ran forward with joy, the wind was howling, and the noise behind him was left behind for a while.
The people behind were thrown off for the time being, but the horse couldn't be controlled.
Xia Ruqian watched the road ahead becoming more and more secluded, the forest getting deeper and deeper, a little irritable, and secretly complained in his heart: My lord, do you recognize the road, where did you go.
But he felt that the weight on his back was getting heavier and heavier, and when he looked at the prince again, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be injured.
At this time, the horse's speed began to decrease, and Xia Ruqian seemed to hear the sound of chasing behind him again. She lifted herself, turned around and embraced the prince, and while giving the horse another look, she silently counted one, two, three, and rolled off the horse with the strength of the prince.
The horse lost weight and was away in a few moments.
Xia Ruqian hugged the prince and flipped it over a few times before stopping, and his body was already covered with fallen leaves. She didn't have time to sigh in pain, and dragged the prince's clothes to the woods.
The prince seemed to be a little sober, squinting his eyes and standing up, Xia Ruqian hurriedly let him press on his shoulder, and the two stumbled for a while.
The woods were full of bushes, and Xia Ruqian looked around, and there was no place to hide. So he helped the prince to rest under the tree, found a lush bush by himself, climbed into it, and dragged it with a pressure belt, and was stunned to make a hole. Xia Ruqian collected some dry leaves and spread them in, at least lying in it would not sting people.
The Nine Princes fell into a coma almost as soon as he entered the tree hole, Xia Ruqian looked carefully at his whole body, there were four knife wounds alone, and there were blood stains, and he didn't know how he had survived until now.
