Chapter XVIII: Serious Injuries

Huangfu Jingyao's expression was now terrifyingly calm, and only those who were familiar with him knew that he was now extremely angry. He said again: "Let her go, this king will spare you from death." ”

"King Rui, the emperor is still here, do you have the right to call the shots?" The leader on the other side spoke defiantly.

"Let go of the concubine, I can let you live." Huangfu Jingwen opened his mouth, he also felt a little unhappy about Huangfu Jingyao's first opening, and at this moment, he was also worried about Xiang Wan's safety.

"Oh, it turned out to be the concubine Niangniang, no wonder she is so captivating." After speaking, the leader of the other party also took advantage of the situation to hug Chu Xiangwan's waist.

"Helian City, if you dare to be presumptuous, this king will make you die without a whole body." Huangfu Jingyao couldn't wait for Huangfu Jingwen to speak at this time, although he had also seen Huangfu Jingwen and Chu Xiangwan occasionally have intimacy, but seeing Helian Cheng's hand restlessly restlessly on her, he was almost unable to control his emotions.

Helian Cheng heard Huangfu Jingyao call his name, knowing that his identity had been recognized, fortunately he took off the black veil on his face, and laughed loudly and recklessly: "Huangfu Jingyao, I haven't seen you for a few months, do you still remember this prince?" ”

"You are Helian City, the eldest prince of the Huns?" Huangfu Jingwen also heard it, "You are so bold, you dare to sneak into the capital to assassinate me?" ”

"Hmph, Huangfu Jingyao killed my father and blocked the border, causing my Huns to be torn apart because of the competition for food, why can't I kill you?"

"Helian City, this is a matter of government affairs, you and I solve it alone, and now you have captured a weak female stream as a hostage, what kind of hero is it?" Huangfu Jingyao said in a deep voice.

"My reinforcements have surrounded you, and I will tell you your conditions, and I will let you go, and I will not pursue it again."

"Oh, it seems that this noble concubine is still very important to the emperor. Even so, I can't let her go easily. Let me think about it, it is better for the emperor to hand over Huangfu Jingyao to me for disposal, and then send us Xiongnu 100,000 loads of grain and 100,000 taels of gold every year. ”

"Your Majesty, don't agree to his request for the sake of your concubine. Take the Great Zhou Sheji as the priority, and don't care about the safety of the concubines. Chu Xiangwan spoke calmly.

"Shut up, are you a woman who wants to die?" The knife went into Chu Xiangwan's neck for another two points, and there was already a faint trace of blood oozing out.

"This king can be at your disposal, as long as you let Concubine Yan go." Huangfu Jingyao was only worried about Chu Xiangwan's safety now, and his heart was pinched when he saw the blood on her neck. He turned to Huangfu Jingwen and said, "The emperor cares about the concubine, and the minister is willing to exchange with the concubine and be their hostage." As for the other conditions, please let the emperor decide. ”

"Your Majesty, King Rui is responsible for protecting the security of the Great Zhou border, how can it be handed over to the Huns, please think twice. The main palace is grateful to King Rui for sacrificing his life, but this must not be. Hearing that Huangfu Jingyao wanted to exchange for himself, Chu Xiang was anxious to open his mouth. What he actually wanted to say was: "Brother Yao, don't take risks for me." The Huns hate you to the bone, if it really falls into their hands, how can you live? I'm afraid I'm going to have to suffer a lot of humiliation, and I don't want you to suffer this later. Her eyes swept Huangfu Jingyao, there was heartache, reluctance, and attachment, but her gaze couldn't stay for too long, she only hoped that Huangfu Jingyao could see her anxiousness at this time.

"Towards the night, I will not abandon you." Huangfu Jingwen is certainly in love, but he also has his own plans. He didn't care about the safety of Huangfu Jingyao, anyway, he and the Queen Mother were going to regain military power from Huangfu Jingyao's hands sooner or later. He continued: "I have approved this proposal, but I will not accept the grain and gold in Helian City, but I can promise you to open a mutual market on the border, so that your Huns will not suffer from hunger and cold, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty," Chu Xiangwan didn't expect Huangfu Jingwen to agree, and she wanted to persuade again, but Helian Cheng interrupted her: "Woman, you do have the courage, this prince admires, but if you say more, this prince's knife is not guaranteed to cut your throat." ”

"Helian City, don't talk nonsense, do you agree or not?" Huangfu Jingyao knew Chu Xiangwan's worries, and he also knew Huangfu Jingwen's plans, but for Chu Xiangwan's sake, he had no hesitation.

"Okay, I promised what the emperor said. The emperor respectfully Yao Yao you come here, and I will let your concubine go back. Helian City shouted.

Huangfu Jingyao walked towards the opposite side step by step, Chu Xiangwan looked at him, as if to say, "Why are you so stupid?" Why? Don't, Brother Yao, don't come here. Huangfu Jingyao returned a reassuring smile to Chu Xiangwan, and seemed to answer her: "Wan'er, I won't let you have anything." ”

Huangfu Jingyao's expression Huangfu Jingwen couldn't see it, but Helian Cheng saw Chu Xiangwan and his eyes, thoughtful. He whispered in Chu Xiangwan's ear and laughed, "I didn't expect that there is more than one man here who cares about you." ”

Chu Xiangwan didn't look back, but said: "The prince's courage is also admired by this palace, but it is just a means, and this palace despises it." Helian Cheng's face was momentarily embarrassed.

When Huangfu Jingyao walked to a foot away from Helian City, Helian Cheng said: "King Rui's martial arts are world-famous, this prince has received a sword from you again, and now, you are also stabbing yourself in the chest with a sword, otherwise, even if there are many of us here, I am afraid we will not be able to control you." ”

"Helian City, don't take an inch." Huangfu Jingyao gritted his teeth and said.

"Refusal? Is that going to give me a stab in this woman? ”

"Okay." Huangfu Jingyao did not hesitate, picked up the sword in his hand and stabbed it deeply in the chest. There was only a muffled snort, accompanied by Chu Xiangwan's tears.

"Brother Yao." Chu Xiangwan silently recited these three words, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

"Lord Wang!" Hongxia was also in a hurry.

"Okay, Huangfu Jingyao, you are loyal to your emperor, and you are willing to harm yourself in order to save a concubine." Helian Cheng meant something, and at the same time threw a white porcelain vase to Huangfu Jingyao, "Take the inside to dissipate it." ”

"Don't," Chu Xiangwan said urgently, she ignored the knife on her neck, and struggled hard, Helian Cheng didn't dare to really ask for her life after all, and if she really killed her, she would have no bargaining chips to retreat, which made Chu Xiangwan break free from his grip and run towards Huangfu Jingyao. But it was too late, Huangfu Jingyao obeyed Gongsan, and immediately knelt down with one hand. Chu Xiangwan ran to Huangfu Jingyao, a man in black stepped forward, wanting to catch Chu Xiangwan, Huangfu Jingyao saw this opportunity, stood up and grabbed Chu Xiangwan's arm, and pushed her to Huangfu Jingwen, he tried his best to pick up the saber on the ground to block the opponent's knife, and the cartilage scatter made him temporarily lose his strength and add injury, just this time, it had already exhausted him, and he was no longer able to parry. Who knew that Helian Cheng secretly threw out the knife in his hand again, pointing directly at Huangfu Jingyao, seeing that Huangfu Jingyao was stabbed by the knife, there was a "poof" sound, and there was a sound of the sword entering the flesh and blood, but it was not inserted in Huangfu Jingyao's body, but on Chu Xiangwan's chest.

"Late!" Huangfu Jingwen shouted, he didn't know why Chu Xiangwan had already left the danger range, and turned back to block the knife for Huangfu Jingyao. Huangfu Jingyao was already unconscious, but the moment Chu Xiangwan fell into his arms, his eyes widened, his breath was unsteady, and he shouted intermittently: "Evening! I don't know if it's tears or sweat, drop by drop fell on Chu Xiangwan's face.

"Protect the prince and the mother." Hongxia was afraid that the emperor would see the clue, so he shouted, so he led people to rush forward, and the two sides of the people and horses fought again.

"Later, why are you so stupid? Why did you come back to block this knife for me? You know, it hurts more than my own injury. Seeing the blood gushing out of Chu Xiangwan's chest, Huangfu Jingyao, who had always been calm and domineering, also panicked.

"Why? Hehe, Brother Yao, you have always been shrewd, how could you ask such a stupid thing. Finally, I can do something for you, maybe only when I'm not there can be a dead knot between us, don't you say? Chu Xiangwan's voice was weak, his face was pale, he couldn't support it anymore, and fainted.

"I won't let you say that, I won't let you have anything to do, I'm not allowed to leave me. Wake up. Huangfu Jingyao shouted in a low voice, and he almost fainted.

Now that they had lost their hostages, they had to flee immediately, and they fought and retreated, suddenly throwing out several smoke bombs, and in the confusion they took the opportunity to flee north.

"Don't chase it, save the concubine and King Rui first, and go back to the palace immediately." Huangfu Jingwen commanded. Just saw Huangfu Jingyao hugging Chu Xiangwan, too far away from them in the chaos, Huangfu Jingwen couldn't get a seizure, now, he stepped forward and picked up Chu Xiangwan from Huangfu Jingyao's hands, and got into his car.

Huangfu Jingyao watched the person in his arms being taken away by Huangfu Jingwen, and he was in great pain, and when the curtain of the emperor's car was lowered, he finally fainted.

"Quick, go to the Innocent Villa and ask Mr. Ning to come to the palace quickly." Hongxia whispered to his subordinates.

The speed of the car back to Beijing was very fast, in order for Chu Xiangwan to be able to get treatment in time, Huangfu Jingwen ordered people to come back quickly, and the people avoided all the way, and the middle gate of the Forbidden City was wide open, leading directly to the emperor's Minxun Palace. When the Queen Mother heard about it, she scolded the emperor for messing around, but it was too late to stop it, and the situation was critical at the moment, and Huangfu Jingwen couldn't care about it so much.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, several of the oldest doctors were already waiting, Chu Xiangwan's wounds on his body were very deep, and he was hurt in the heart, after the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, he knelt down to Huangfu Jingwen and said: "Your Majesty, the wound of the concubine Niangniang is a little more off, and there is no way to return to the sky, the lady hurts the heart and loses too much blood, the doctor will immediately bandage the medicine for the mother, and Weichen immediately prepares a decoction for the mother, and applies it internally and externally, as long as the injury does not deteriorate tonight, it will be safe." Wei Chen retired, and asked the emperor to avoid it, rest for a while, and let Wei Chen check the emperor to see if he was injured. ”

"No need, I'm fine, you go to decoction immediately, I'm here to wait for the concubine to wake up."

"Your Majesty, there was a message from the Queen Mother's palace before, please go to Cihe Palace as soon as the emperor returns to the palace." The little eunuch of the Minxun Hall reported.

"Get down, I'm not going anywhere now." Huangfu Jingwen was now reluctant to leave Chu Xiangwan by half a step. He kept holding Chu Xiangwan's hand tightly, and said angrily to the doctor next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you give medicine to the concubine Niangniang." ”

Qian'er helped the doctor girl to take off Chu Xiangwan's clothes layer by layer, and in the end, Chu Xiangwan only wore a belly pocket, and her fair skin and bright red wounds were exposed together, which made Huangfu Jingwen shocked. The medical women gave Chu Xiangwan medicine with their hands and feet, and wrapped the wounds on his neck and chest, and Chu Xiangwan's head oozed beads of sweat the size of beans, and Qian'er couldn't wipe it anymore. Her face was very painful, and tears kept flowing out, but people just didn't wake up, Huangfu Jingwen said to himself: "Isn't it painful, Xiang Wan?" You'll get through it, and I'll always be by your side. After speaking, he kissed Chu Xiangwan lightly on the forehead.

Half an hour later, the imperial doctor sent a decoction, and Huangfu Jingwen personally fed Chu Xiangwan to drink, and Chu Xiangwan fell into a deep sleep.

In the Empress Dowager's palace, Fang Xiaohan knelt on the ground, and the Empress Dowager said, "What's going on?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it was the eldest prince of the Huns, Helian Cheng, who led people to assassinate the emperor, and later captured Yan Guifei as a hostage, who knew that King Rui was not only injured but also lost his skills to save Yan Guifei, and Yan Guifei was seriously injured to save King Rui." When Fang Xiaohan said this, the hateful eyes of the Queen Mother didn't see it, no one knew, in fact, she didn't enter the palace voluntarily, but her father repeatedly forced her to enter the palace, from beginning to end, what she always liked was Huangfu Jingyao. That night in the mountain behind Yuanji Temple, in addition to Huangfu Jingyao and Chu Xiangwan, she was also present, she heard the conversation between Huangfu Jingyao and Chu Xiangwan, when she knew that the person Huangfu Jingyao loved was Chu Xiangwan, she was already eager to kill Chu Xiangwan. Just when Helian City appeared, she wanted to push Chu Xiang to die at night, but who knew that Huangfu Jingyao would sacrifice herself to save her, at that moment, she was really angry and wanted to go crazy.

"Oh, listening to you say that, there seems to be something unspeakable between Chu Xiangwan and Huangfu Jingyao. You should also ask the emperor to think about the key to this at the right time. When the Queen Mother heard this, she became excited, she thought, whether this is true or false, it is best to take the opportunity to eradicate these two thorns in the eye.

"Yes." The corners of Fang Xiaohan's mouth were slightly upturned, but the only thing she wanted to bring down was the woman lying in the Minxun Palace.
