Chapter 22: Disturbing the King's Dreams
This night is destined to be a sleepless night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now that Du Xiu and Qin Ming are not in the Jin Tomb, it is impossible for them to know about Jiang Ying'er's disappearance, and they can't let them know.
Su Jin could only try his best to calm down, and went to the Jiyue Pavilion overnight through the secret passage, and immediately summoned all the forces that could be mobilized at the moment, even if it was to turn over the entire Jinling City, he had to find people.
At the foot of Mi Mountain, camp.
The night is getting darker, in the dragon tent, Emperor Chen is reviewing some important recitals sent from the Jin Tomb, Concubine Miao Shu sent off all the palace maids and servants who served in the tent, and grinded Zhu Mo for Emperor Chen by herself, she knew that Emperor Chen at this time did not like to be disturbed, so she was quiet and did not speak, and tried to lower her existence; She knew that Emperor Chen had to drink a bowl of Sydney clear soup every time she finished the performance, so she had already ordered her to go down in advance and prepare the clear soup to be passed on at any time; She knew that Emperor Chen was allergic to hazelnuts, so she ordered that during this period, no matter whether it was a meal or pastry for Emperor Chen, it was absolutely not allowed to use a hazelnut.
Ruthlessness is the heart of the emperor, which every harem woman knows, maybe he was still in your gentle township last moment what kind of mountain alliance and sea swore that he would never live up to you, and the next moment he had already hugged other women in his arms, saying the same words as he said to you before, just like as soon as she entered the palace, she snatched Emperor Chen from Concubine Chen steadily.
Xu Miaoxin knows very well that one day, she will also end up with the same result as the current Chen Guifei, but the woman who played her role three years ago has not yet appeared, but there is a woman in the world who does not desire to be loved by a man forever, no matter how many women Emperor Chen has, but her husband has only one in this life, she thinks that she actually really loves Emperor Chen, it is the kind of love that comes from the heart.
After Emperor Chen finished approving the recital, Xu Miaoxin passed the pear soup that had been prepared for a long time, personally brought it to Emperor Chen, and said softly with a smile, "Your Majesty, your soup." ”
Emperor Chen hummed, took the jade bowl, and was about to drink it, when a maid walked in and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shuniang, that girl has woken up!" ”
Before Xu Miaoxin could speak, Emperor Chen immediately put down the bowl, stood up and walked out and said, "Take me over to see, how long have you been awake, how are you now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, that girl just woke up, and she is still a little weak, but the doctor said that it is not a big deal!" The maid replied carefully.
Xu Miaoxin was stunned, and the face of the stunned woman who was in a coma that she saw in the morning instantly appeared in front of her, and sure enough, he ......
As soon as Emperor Chen left, Xu Miaoxin immediately called his close maid, "Yurui, you go over and take a look immediately, and as soon as there is anything, come back immediately and report to the palace!" ”
"Could it be that Niangniang is worried that the woman will ...... with Your Majesty," Yurui wondered.
Xu Miaoxin stroked her forehead, "Such a woman of unknown origin, but Your Majesty is still so attentive to her, how can you let this palace not worry!" ”
"Yes, slave and maid will pass!"
Xu Miaoxin nodded, "Go ahead!" When the opportunity comes, when it's time, you remind Your Majesty that the palace is still waiting for him to come back! ”
Yurui owes herself, "Yes, Niangniang!" ”
After Yurui left, Xu Miaoxin was the only one left under the huge dragon tent, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that she had gained and lost something.
In the tent on the other side, Emperor Chen was happy to come, and saw that the woman was lying on the couch on her side, her face was a little pale, but even so, it was difficult to hide the woman's stunning posture......
The woman raised her eyes when she heard the footsteps and saw Emperor Chen's arrival, but she just looked straight at Emperor Chen gradually approaching, and she had no intention of staying and saluting at all.
The maid who was kneeling on the ground next to her was anxious, and hurriedly urged in a low voice, "Girl, kneel, kneel quickly!" Girl!! ”
"The girl is weak, so these etiquettes are not necessary!" Chen Huang stepped forward and said with a smile, hearing Chen Huang say this, the maid naturally didn't dare to urge again.
"You saved me?" The woman asked.
Chen Huang's woman sat down at the end of the bed, smiled and nodded, "Sort of, it's a gesture, the girl doesn't need to remember!" ”
"Well, you're ...... Your Majesty? ”
As soon as these words came out, the maid next to her was instantly frightened, but it was Emperor Chen, but when he heard this, he just laughed, "The girl can be me or not!" In other words, since the girl is your savior, but this savior doesn't even know the name and identity of the person she saves! ”
The woman's face was suddenly startled, as if she had just remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty forgives me, the folk girl forgot to introduce herself, the maiden's surname is Ning Qin'er, a native of Sangyang Bi County, because her parents died early, Qin'er was raised by her uncle since she was a child, but her uncle ...... He was addicted to gambling and owed a large amount of debt in the gambling house, and the people in the gambling house said that if he couldn't pay it back within two months, he would take his uncle's life to pay...... Sold to the fireworks building in Sangyang City! I escaped from the fireworks building, at first they also sent a lot of people to arrest me back, I desperately fled for two days, they finally gave up, but I knew that I could never go back to Sangyang, so I walked along the avenue, kept walking, walked for three or four days, the only little silver on my body was long gone, and then, and then I fell on the road, woke up, it's now! ”
Hearing Ning Qin'er's words, Emperor Chen's heart of pity suddenly rose, "How can your uncle be such a person!" You are a weak woman, and you can escape from those hateful people, but you have suffered you! ”
Ning Qin'er smiled and shook her head, "Although Qin'er escaped, if it weren't for Your Majesty who saved me, I would probably be under the Yellow Spring now!" ”
"Why do you say such depressing words, aren't you good now! In this way, you tell me that your uncle's name and address, as well as the gambling house and the fireworks building are all such lawless things that those people do, you can rest assured, I will definitely administer justice for you! ”
Ning Qin'er smiled and shook her head, "No matter how wrong my uncle is, after all, he is the uncle who has raised me for so many years, he will be desperate and forced by the situation to treat me like that, and I am afraid that I will not be happy with him now, I don't want to pursue him anymore, just dang, there has never been this uncle!" As for the others, they are only for their own livelihood, so why should I bother to pursue them! ”
"You're generous!" Chen Huang smiled lightly.
"To be generous to others is not to be generous to yourself! Why should people live too complicated, just keep it simple! ”
Chen Huang smiled and nodded, "Miss Qin'er is right, I am taught!" ”
Ning Qin'er smiled, "Your Majesty's words are serious, Qin'er is ashamed!" ”
"Do you know where you are now?"
Ning Qin'er was stunned when she heard this, paused for a moment, and then shook her head slightly, "I don't know." ”
Emperor Chen smiled faintly, "Jin Ling!" ”
Ning Qin'er was shocked, "Jin Ling...... The imperial capital of Jinling, is it? ”
"In my Da Chen, is there a second Jin Tomb?" Chen Huang smiled lightly, "Since you can't go back to your uncle now, then you ...... in the future."
Before the words fell, the cold light burst out.
"Your Majesty be careful!!" Ning Qin'er suddenly exclaimed, and her body had almost instinctively leaned over, pushing Emperor Chen away, and then, a long sword instantly pierced deeply into Ning Qin'er's right shoulder, and blood splashed everywhere!
Ning Qin'er snorted, her lips opened, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, and she fainted......
"Miss Qin'er!!" Emperor Chen was shocked, hurriedly got up and supported Ning Qin'er, the killing intent suddenly rose under his eyes, and he pulled out the sword on Ning Qin'er's shoulder and threw it back at the assassin fiercely.
What's even more incredible is that in the face of such a deadly sword, the assassin seemed to be frozen, and did not dodge at all, but fortunately, the two closest accomplices on his side reacted in time, and together they blocked the sharp sword that was almost about to pierce the heart of the middle assassin.
But no one noticed that the eyes of every assassin at this moment were filled with incomparable shock and disbelief! In this time, even if it is used to kill Emperor Chen, it is more than enough.
The maid next to her was already completely stupid with fright, but fortunately, the Praetorian Guards guarding outside the tent heard the movement and quickly rushed into the tent, "Quick, escort!!" There are Assassins ......"
"Withdraw!" An assassin next to him shouted.
Seeing that they were about to be encircled, the other five quickly withdrew from the tent, but the assassin who had just almost died did not move, and the archers of the Praetorian Guard had surrounded the Great Horde.
"Don't let the arrows go, stay alive!" Emperor Chen said sharply, "Also, immediately pass on the Imperial Doctor, Miss Ning is injured!" ”
Yang Gonggong, the chief attendant who had just rushed over, hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and at the same time asked to move to protect Emperor Chen's safety, Emperor Chen looked at the assassin who was surrounded coldly, and picked up Ning Qin'er, who had passed out in a coma, and left quickly.
It wasn't until the backs of Emperor Chen and Ning Qin'er completely disappeared that the assassin finally came to his senses, but he was already in a dead end, and it was too late......
"Take it for me!" The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Xie Yan, said sharply.
Dozens of powerful swords swarmed up, and there was no way to avoid it!
At the last moment, the top of the big tent suddenly burst open, and another dark night of masked assassins landed in the air, everyone only felt a blur in front of them, and all the guards who leaned on the front circle had already broken their throats and fell to the ground!
Everyone was stunned, this person is so terrifying!
Xie Yan knew that it was impossible to capture alive in this situation, rather than giving away so many of his subordinates' lives in vain and not being able to keep people, it was better to take his life first and then go to Emperor Chen to plead guilty, and immediately immediately decided, "Release the arrow!" ”
All the guards immediately retreated, and the archers quickly filled their positions, and in an instant, a rain of arrows fell.
Faced with such a situation, the two assassins leaned back to each other and worked together to block the arrows, although they were not injured, but the two knew that if they did not leave, they might really die here, before the second wave of arrows fell, then the assassins quickly picked up the previous assassin, jumped forward, and rushed straight out of the top of the big tent, while the guards on the periphery did not think that the two could escape from the tent alive, and when they reacted, the assassins had already disappeared into the night.
The news of Emperor Chen's assassination spread quickly in the camp, and all the princes and courtiers who accompanied him were alarmed.
But Emperor Chen is now only worried about Ning Qin'er, who is in a coma who blocked the sword for him, how can he bother with them, and reprimanded Wang Qi, the deputy general of the imperial army, and Xie Qi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, a few words, and then ordered an investigation, a thorough investigation! Then everyone disbanded and went back to rest, and the matter will be held accountable after returning to the palace after the spring hunt.
It's not that it's not chasing, it's just not now!
Emperor Chen took Ning Qin'er back to his tent, and did not let people rearrange it, Xu Miaoxin accompanied Emperor Chen, while sighing that Ning Qin'er was fortunate to have a sword for Emperor Chen, and proposed that Ning Qin'er could be temporarily arranged in her tent, which was self-evident.
But the result was that Emperor Chen asked her to go back to rest by herself, and she didn't need to accompany her tonight!
Xu Miaoxin's face suddenly turned pale, looking at the unknown woman lying on the dragon couch, the anger in her heart suddenly rose, and she said without choosing to speak, "Your Majesty, are you because of her?" Don't you feel suspicious that she came out in the middle of the way, a woman of unknown origin, and then you were assassinated as soon as she appeared, and you happened to be with her again? Maybe she's in league with those assassins! ”
Emperor Chen's face turned cold, and he scolded angrily, "Xu Miaoxin, are you talking to me?" If she were an assassin accomplice, then you would not be seeing me, but my corpse! ”
"That's the bitter meat trick, it's definitely the bitter meat trick, those assassins made an assassination, injured her, and then gained your majesty's trust to achieve some ulterior purpose, for sure!"
"Have you ever seen a bitter ploy that gambles with your life? Although she is only injured in the right shoulder now, the imperial doctor said that from the perspective of the assassination just now, it is a little bit more than that, and that is the heart!! ”
Xu Miaoxin was unconvinced, "But Your Majesty, those assassins have the ability to escape in such a situation, so naturally they are ......also capable."
"Xu Miaoxin!!" Emperor Chen scolded angrily, "What kind of face do you have to say about others here, I'm just afraid that if I was with you at that time, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to hide, where can you still care about my safety!" ”
At this time, Xu Miaoxin's face turned pale, and the surging anger in her abdomen turned into tears of grievance and rolled down, and after a stalemate for a while, Xu Miaoxin owed to Emperor Chen, who was facing away from him, and said in a low voice, "The concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine retires!" ”
Jin Ling, Jin House.
It was already the fourth watch in the middle of the night when he returned to the Jin Mansion, according to the original plan, the people on the Mishan side should have completed the task and all withdrawn, but now they have not waited for any news until now, and the people sent out to find Jiang Ying'er overnight have been four or five hours, more than two hundred people, it stands to reason that any corner of the entire Jin Tomb should have been searched, but why is there still no news......
Looking at Su Jin's frowning and restless appearance, Bi Xi didn't feel good in her heart, but at the moment she had no other way but to wait, so she could only comfort, "Girl, don't worry too much, Miss Jiang will definitely be fine, and the eldest prince will definitely be back soon!" ”
Su Jin stroked his forehead, "I hope!" ”
"Otherwise, you should go to sleep for a while, it's all four watches, otherwise you will ...... tomorrow"
"But do you think I'll be able to sleep now?" Su Jin smiled bitterly.
Can't sleep! Bixi knew, so she could only wait, wait until the eldest prince and they came back, and when she found Jiang Ying'er, her hanging heart could land.
Finally, at the fifth watch, the door of the secret passage in the study opened again, and an errand worker from the Jiyue Pavilion came out of it.
"Girl, eldest son, they're back!"
