When Yu Ruoxu woke up, it was already twilight.

When she opened her eyes, the room in front of her was a little unfamiliar. She was slightly distracted, and after a while, she remembered that this should be Liang Jin's house.

"Ahem......" She wanted to open her mouth, but she couldn't say a word in her hoarse voice, but coughed violently because of force.

"Miss Yu?" A light female voice came, Yu Ruoxu saw a little maid-like person pushing the door in, holding a copper basin in her hand, and when she woke up, her face was full of surprise, "Miss Yu is awake?" ”

Yu Ruoxu didn't know this little girl, "You are ......"

This time she heard her own hoarse voice, and she was finally able to speak.

"Miss Yu, let's drink saliva to moisten your throat first." The little maid looked quite clever, and when she saw that her throat was dry, she hurriedly put down the copper basin and poured her a cup of tea.

Yu Ruoxu took two sips and felt much more comfortable, "Thank you." You are? ”

"The slave Tie Niang was sent by the general to serve Miss Yu." The little maid said.

"General?" Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "General Yang?" "Why is even Yang Zhen alarmed?

Tie Niang nodded, "Back to Miss Yu's words, our general and young lady heard that the prince was assassinated, and they were very worried, and later heard that Miss Yu was injured, and there was no maid serving in the prince's house, which was somewhat inconvenient, so the general asked the slave maid to come over to help the prince take care of the young lady." “

Yu Ruoxu suddenly realized, "Let General Yang and Miss Yang bother." “

"Miss Yu is too polite." Tie Niang's every move is quite the demeanor of a first-class maid from a big family, "Miss Yu has been burning for two days, and the doctor said that if she doesn't wake up again, it may be difficult to do." “

Yu Ruoxu didn't expect that she had slept for so long, "Two days? ”

"That's right, when the slave maid first entered the mansion, it was just in time for Miss Yu to be the most sick." Tie Niang smiled, "I scared the slave maid at that time, but fortunately, Miss Yu was blessed by the gods, and she finally survived." ”

Yu Ruoxu remembered that she had to burn every time she was injured, and she scared the people around her a lot, and she suddenly felt a little confused in her heart, "By the way, what about the prince?" ”

"The prince went to the camp early in the morning, and he will be back soon." Tie Niang said, "The slave maid will serve the young lady to freshen up first, and then you can use the medicine after a while." ”

Yu Ruoxu nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart for Tie Niang's intimacy and meticulousness. She looked down at her hands, which, like last time, were thickly wrapped in gauze, and still tingled a little when she moved, and her feet were not much better. She couldn't help but be a little afraid, this time it was too dangerous, and she almost put her life into it.

Unexpectedly, the Assassin arrived on the night she came.

Tie Niang gently wiped her face with a handkerchief, the force was just right, she squinted her eyes comfortably, "Tie Niang, you usually serve Miss Yang, right?" ”

Tie Niang was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, Yu Ruoxu said again, "You know how to take care of your daughter's family." ”

Miss Yu laughed. Tie Niang smiled gently, "As Miss Yu said, the slave maid has always been by our young lady's side to take care of her. “

Yu Ruoxu remembered that day at the gate of the camp, Yang Yuqing, who was dressed in military uniform, looked thoughtfully, "This time, Miss Yang cut her love." When I feel better, I will definitely come to the door to thank me. ”

"Our young lady said that Miss Yu is the guest of the prince, that is, her guest, so she naturally has to take good care of her, and Miss Yu doesn't need to be polite." Iron Lady said.

Yu Ruoxu understood a little in her heart, it was true that this iron lady came to take care of her, and she was more entrusted by Yang Yuqing, let's see what is going on between her and Liang Jin, right?

There was a neighing sound of war horses outside the door, and Tie Niang stood up, "It should be that the prince is back, and the slave will go to tell the prince." Before she could walk out of the courtyard, she heard Liang Jin's voice, "Tie Niang, how is Miss Yu?" “

"Miss Yu just woke up and is now preparing to take medicine." Tetsu replied.

Liang Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, walked to the door quickly, stretched out his hand and buckled it, "Are you awake?" Can I come in now? ”

Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she heard him look so cautious, "Come in, I'm awake." ”

Liang Jin opened the door lightly, for fear of disturbing her. Seeing that she was half-sitting on the bed, her face was still a little pale, but at least with a smile on the corner of her lips, she looked at him softly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally woke up...... You burned so badly that you scared half of my life to death. ”

Yu Ruoxu saw that his face was not very good, and he looked haggard, "Haven't you had a good rest these days?" ”

Liang Jin smiled in a low voice, "The border is not peaceful, and my small military mansion is not peaceful, it can be regarded as internal and external troubles, and it is normal to be more tired than usual." ”

Yu Ruoxu was speechless for a while, and her heart seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud, "By the way, what about Pei Changchang?" How is he? ”

"Don't worry, I didn't expect his martial arts to be so strong, and he still didn't let the other party take advantage of him with one enemy and three enemies." Liang Jin said, "I just suffered some skin injuries, and now I am lying in bed, and I don't have to worry about my life." ”

Yu Ruoxu let out a long sigh of relief, "That's good." ”

"Why don't you ask yourself?" Liang Jin sighed, "That dagger is not light, you were bleeding at the time, and you scared the old doctors in the barracks." ”

Liang Jin remembered that Yu Ruoxu's blood kept gushing out of her hands at that time, like an unstoppable spring, draining her strength slightly. He saw her lying on the bed, her face as white as paper, motionless and lifeless. At that moment, he was almost mad with a hurry, and a devouring fear suddenly arose in his heart—he was afraid that he would never see her again.

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "...... Thank you for bringing me back. ”

A clueless sentence blocked Liang Jin's next words.

If he hadn't stabbed the assassin with a sword, she wouldn't be lying here safely now.

Liang Jin had already blamed himself thousands of times in his heart, he thought that he had made a thorough deployment, but he didn't expect Qiao Huanyan to come to the East Courtyard, at that time, he felt bad in his heart, and the thing he was most worried about finally happened. Knowing this, he should have sent a few more people to protect her, and he even wondered if she had been left in the most heavily guarded East Courtyard at that time, would she not have been injured?

"Has the identity of the assassin been found?" Yu Ruoxu saw that Liang Jin's face was uncertain, and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Not yet. These assassins are dead soldiers, with poison hidden in their teeth, and it is impossible for us to catch them alive. Liang Jin thought for a while, "I sent someone to search them next to each other, and found that their clothes and weapons were very ordinary, and there was no way to find them." ”

"Could it be sent by the emperor?" Yu Ruoxu muttered, "At that time, I asked the assassin if the emperor had sent him, and he seemed to be a little relieved, and he said that the dead don't need to know. Moreover, there are many more people from the emperor around Jieyu Niangniang, is it possible that Niangniang heard that the emperor was going to send someone to kill you, but the emperor noticed it, so she used the excuse of the epidemic to put Niangniang under house arrest? Yu Ruoxu's voice trembled slightly, "Niangniang has no other way but to risk death to send a message, and ask me to sue you!" “

She couldn't figure out why there were so many people around the little emperor outside Chonghua Palace that day. During this assassin operation, they sent several people to surround and suppress her, as if they had intended to kill her from the beginning.

Yu Ruoxu was taken aback, and the little emperor ...... It's on purpose!

He knew that she had come to Liaodong and was ready to kill her and Liang Jin.

Liang Jin's voice condensed, "These assassins are by no means ordinary reckless, but like trained killers. I have already inquired, and none of the assassination organizations on the rivers and lakes have made any deals with the imperial court. If you're right, it's only possible...... It is a secret guard cultivated by the emperor himself. “

"Dark Guard?!" Yu Ruoxu suddenly remembered the time when Yu's mansion caught fire, and Liu's mother looked at her eyes without blinking, "The emperor can also raise secret guards under the noses of the Hou Ye and the Queen Mother?" “

Liang Jin frowned and said, "I also think it's strange that the emperor is not in charge of the government at present, and it stands to reason that he is not capable of having such a powerful secret guard." Unless...... It was left before. ”

Yu Ruoxu was a little puzzled, "What was left before?" Was it left by the first emperor? ”

"The first emperor naturally had a secret guard." Liang Jin paused, "However, because the emperor was too young when he ascended the throne, those secret guards have already been under the command of the queen mother. But there is not only this secret guard in the palace...... I once heard my father mention that the forces in the palace are intertwined, and perhaps the emperor himself has secretly cultivated a force. ”

Yu Ruoxu was taken aback, but he didn't expect that Dingyuan Hou had already noticed it, "Hou Ye has already found it?" “

"Not yet. My father was only suspicious, but he hadn't found any evidence yet. Liang Jin shook his head, "It's just that we all know in our hearts that the emperor has a long-standing grudge against the Liang family, and it is normal to have revenge." “

Yu Ruoxu never deliberately prefaced the grievances between the Liang family and the little emperor in front of him, "You ......"

"I don't really want to get my hands dirty." Liang Jin smiled helplessly, "But after all, I am the prince of Dingyuan, and no one in the world will believe that I am unwilling to meddle in the affairs between my father and the emperor...... This time, the emperor attacked me, I am afraid that he has been planning for a long time. “

"I underestimated the emperor before." Yu Ruoxu sneered, "These people don't look like they were cultivated overnight...... I don't know what method he used to avoid the surveillance of the Hou Ye and the Queen Mother, and privately developed such a secret guard. “

Liang Jin shook his head, "This is also what I don't understand." ”

Yu Ruoxu frowned, she once heard the little emperor say that he wanted to kill the Liang family, and she thought it was just a sentence of anger, but she didn't expect that there was such a bloodthirsty conspiracy behind it.

Both of them fell silent, and after a while, Yu Ruoxu spoke, "This assassination will not succeed, I am afraid that the emperor will be unwilling, we still have to be careful." “

"I understand." Liang Jin saw that she was already a little tired, so she said softly, "You better have a good rest, don't think so much, there is me in one qiē." ”

Yu Ruoxu had been talking for so long, and her body was already a little overwhelmed, so she had to nod obediently, retract into the quilt with Liang Jin's support, and fall asleep deeply.

Liang Jin helped her pinch the corners of the quilt, and when she saw her quiet sleeping face, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her side face.

She had saved him twice, and each time it was a lifesaver. In the end, he was unscathed, but she was injured all over the body.

"I really can't pay it back." Liang Jin muttered in a low voice.
