Chapter 303: Meritorious Rescue
The whole camp was noisy, only Yun Xiang sat peacefully in Concubine Shu's tent, drinking tea without a sip. It wasn't until this cup of tea cooled down that the concubine's tent became quiet.
Concubine Shu was overwhelmed by the smell of blood in the air. She tried to suppress the urge to vomit, and her eyes were fixed on the door of the tent without blinking. It was as if someone would rush in the next moment.
"Mother, the voice outside is quiet." Liangyue stood beside Concubine Shu, and when she saw that the movement outside was small, she reminded, "The slave maid went out to take a look." ”
Although it was Concubine Shu who asked for instructions, Liangyue's eyes were looking at Yun Xiang. Yun Xiang bowed her head gently, and Concubine Shu was also worried about the situation outside, "You go and go back quickly." ”
Liangyue didn't go for long before she brought back the news, "The rebel assassin has been taken down by the Qilin Guard. His Majesty had already returned to the Dragon Tent, and the Qilin Guard commanded Lord Shi to interrogate him personally. ”
Concubine Shu moved her stiff body and asked eagerly, "Do you know the news of the five princes?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the fifth prince has been escorting His Majesty, everything is fine. It's ......" Liangyue paused and looked at Yun Xiang, "His Royal Highness the Grand Prince was injured when he was protecting His Majesty. ”
Yun Xiang almost laughed, it was really three hundred taels of silver here. Who are the people around the emperor? is not only a specially selected master in the Qilin Guard. There is also a master of the master, Shi Bo, who is with him. Do you need the eldest prince to rush to the front to go hand-to-hand?
The eldest prince must have seen that the form was not good for him, and wanted to fight this injury so that the emperor would not doubt himself.
Concubine Shu sneered directly, "That's it." The eldest prince is still really brave! ”
Yun Xiang looked at the firelight outside and asked, "What about the others?" What about casualties? ”
"Returning to the county lord. There were injuries and deaths in many of the tents. The Imperial Concubine's tent was closest to the Imperial Tent, so the Assassins also broke in. But fortunately, there were a few slaves who swore to protect the imperial concubine. ”
Yun Xiang and Concubine Shu glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes. Sure enough, it was exactly what they guessed.
Liangyue continued, "There are also two little eunuchs who died in Concubine Li's tent. ”
"Inside the nobles, are you all safe?" Yun Xiang doesn't care about other people. Just want to know what the results are for some people.
"So that the lady concubine and the county lord know, our three princesses...... Stabbed to death...... His Majesty's heart was painful, and the imperial concubine couldn't stand it and fainted. ”
Yun Xiang's eyes flashed. Twelve of the twenty guards brought by the third princess died, and among these nobles, he became the weakest protector. Plus that damn lamp......
"Also...... Assassins also entered the tent of Lord Joe, but ......"
Concubine Shu frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it. What are you doing with such a stammer! ”
Liangyue's voice was lowered a little, "It is said that at the last moment, the assassin actually took the initiative to withdraw from the tent of the Shangguo Pillar. ”
Yun Xiang was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart. Could it be that this assassination has something to do with Shangguozhu? The Assassin knew Qiao Wenle?
Wait a minute! Shangguozhu is a party of the imperial concubine, and there must be something to protect his safety. Could it be that someone else has been tampered with? Yun Xiang looked at Fufeng, who smiled wryly and quickly lowered his head.
Yun Xiang is angry and funny! This girl. Even a lantern was hung at the door of Qiao Wenle's tent! But that's fine, something like this happened. With the emperor's suspicious temperament, he must also guess that there is a greasy relationship between the Shangguo pillar and the chaotic party.
When the sky was bright, the emperor finally summoned Concubine Shu and Yun Xiang to meet him. When the two of them arrived at the imperial tent, they both stood in their own positions with their eyebrows bowed and did not say a word. But some people can't see such a quiet and good atmosphere.
"Sister Shufei is really lucky, I heard that none of the people in your tent were injured?" The imperial concubine's face was a little abnormally pale. It's no longer the usual high-minded appearance, but when it comes to talking, it's still full of deep meaning.
Li Concubine also covered her mouth on the side, and said in surprise, "There are thieves in our tent, and there are many dead and wounded, why did that assassin miss my sister's tent?" ”
Her voice was not small, and everyone present, including the emperor, looked at it. Concubine Shu raised her head and glanced at the emperor first, and when she saw the doubt in the emperor's eyes, she felt a little sad in her heart.
"Concubine Li, you are not too young, and you are still so unstable." Concubine Shu first reproached lightly, and then explained, "Who said that there were no assassins in the tent of the main palace? I can tell you right now that not only did I get in, but I did not only get in, but I had more than one. More than one of my guards has been wounded! Could it be that this palace has to be injured before you are happy? ”
The imperial concubine's eyes darkened, and then she said to Yun Xiang, "I heard that the county lord of Fuhui was in the concubine's tent last night?" Are you frightened? ”
Yun Xiang raised her head silently and said, "The courtier is fortunately in the tent of the concubine, otherwise, she would rely on our four little women, and I don't know how to do it." ”
Only then did everyone remember that only this Fuhui county lord had no guards, and only brought three maids who served closely.
The imperial concubine originally wanted to push out Concubine Shu to attract people's attention, but she didn't want to be blocked back by the two. She also knew the truth that was especially inferior, if she bit Concubine Shu again and didn't let go, she was afraid that she would be doubted by others, so she simply shut up.
"How are you feeling now?" The emperor's eyes turned and he saw the silent eldest prince on the side, "I have already asked someone to find some good medicinal materials and send them to your tent, you can use them." ”
"Thank you, Father!" The eldest prince saluted with a touched face.
The emperor raised his hand, "Don't make a big move, be careful of the injury." This time you have a meritorious rescue, and I have another reward. ”
When everyone hears the words 'meritorious rescue', their faces are different. Everyone present at that time knew that it was Qilin Wei who was fighting in front, and all the princes and emperors were standing in the encirclement, and there was nothing to say about safety. Who knew that the eldest prince suddenly became angry, and suddenly roared, 'The dog thief is bold, dare to insult my father!' And he rushed out.
Heaven and earth conscience, the people present at that time really didn't hear what the assassin said! But the eldest prince is conclusive, and others are not easy to question. However, the eldest prince jumped out of the encirclement, and after fighting for only a moment, he was injured in the arm and retreated. Credit for that...... Tsk, it's really not small.
"Shi Aiqing and Gu Aiqing have contributed to this incident, and I will not forget it. Someone, proclaim. The Emperor's face was not good, and although he succeeded in serving the Assassin in this case, he also paid the price. However, the distinction between reward and punishment is a necessary quality of a monarch, and he cannot be an exception. (To be continued.) )
