Chapter 043: Forced Marriage

Just when Ruan Zijin was worried that Jiu'er would not come back for a long time, a red figure rushed in in a hurry. When I looked at it again, Jiu'er was already in front of Jian Ning's bed.

Even though Ruan Zijin had already scrubbed the blood on Jian Ning's face, the strong smell of blood on his clothes still couldn't escape Jiu'er's nose. Jiu'er subconsciously lifted the quilt and asked, "Is there any injury on your body?" What's going on? ”

"Ning Er was not injured, but I don't know why she suddenly fainted." Ruan Zijin replied on the side.

Hearing this, Jiu'er took Jian Ning's hand and checked the pulse, but her brows wrinkled tighter as time passed. It was almost a quarter of an hour before Jiu'er withdrew her hand with certainty.

"How?" Seeing that Jiu'er had been taking the pulse for so long, Ruan Zijin was also very bottomless in his heart, and asked anxiously.

"There is nothing wrong with the body, and the pulse is normal." Although I felt that there were some problems with this answer, Jiu'er still said it affirmatively after repeated confirmation.

After a pause for a few seconds, Jiu'er immediately turned around and asked Xiahou Yan and Ruan Zijin, "What happened before my sister fell unconscious?" ”

"We encountered the assassination of the killer, and Ning'er was almost killed by the killer, but the prince and I both stopped the killer and didn't hurt Ning'er. It's just that the killer's blood splashed Ning Er's face, and Ning Er stood stunned for a moment before fainting. Ruan Zijin quickly explained the situation just now.

Jiu'er fell into deep thought after hearing this, if that was the case, it should just be frightened, and it was normal for him to be stunned, but he wouldn't faint! Especially when it's already safe.

"Now I'll apply the needle first and see if I can wake my sister up!" Jiu'er had no other way, and now she could only stimulate the acupuncture points to see if she could make Jian Ning wake up.

After looking at Jian Ning, and after looking at Ruan Zijin and Xiahou Yan, Jiu'er still couldn't hold back after all: "You go out and freshen up first." Let's change your clothes. The smell of blood is disgusting. ”

"By the way, by the way, let Xi'er prepare a bucket of hot water and a set of clothes for her sister."

Ruan Zijin looked at his body, although there was not much blood stained. But the clothes did get soiled too. And Xiahou Yan obviously had more blood stains on his clothes than Ruan Zijin. After all, he killed two people with a sword at that time, and carried Jian Ning all the way to the shore.

"No need. The main hall is here waiting for her to wake up. Xiahou Yan rejected Jiu'er's suggestion, and directly found a chair to sit down.

Jiu'er didn't like Xiahou Yan's arrogant and arrogant appearance, and then said angrily: "This is also my sister's boudoir, you don't say that a man has stayed for a long time, even if you don't even enter." Besides, I don't like people watching when I'm treating, if you're really for my sister's good, let me out now! ”

Although Jiu'er is small. But in terms of momentum, he is not lost to adults at all, and even many people do not have Jiu'er's strong momentum.

Xiahou Yan was obviously unmoved, and had no intention of leaving. Just when Jiu'er couldn't help but drive people away, Feng Yang's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Master, my subordinates have something to come back to." ”

Xiahou Yan knew that if it wasn't an important matter at this time, Feng Yang would not come to him. One last glance at Jian Ning, he walked out.

After Xiahou Yan left, Ruan Zijin also walked out immediately. Just now she heard very clearly that Xiahou Yan called a name "Fengyang". Although she felt that this Fengyang was not the other Fengyang, Ruan Zijin still couldn't help but want to check it.

On that day, Fengyang separated from them, saying that he was going to Kyoto to find his sister. But they've been through so much in Kyoto. If Feng Yang was really in Kyoto, it would be impossible not to show up once.

When Xiahou Yan walked outside the house, Feng Yang was there with a respectful face. Feng Yang knew that now the master was in a bad temper, and anyone who was not careful could become cannon fodder, and if it was not necessary, he would really not find here.

"Say, what's the matter?" Xiahou Yan didn't look at Feng Yang, and walked out of the courtyard. He asked.

"Back to the master, Emperor Yuanchu heard that the master was assassinated. Specially sent someone to invite the master into the palace to understand the situation. Feng Yang said in a fifteen-ten manner.

Xiahou Yan sneered in his heart, he knew so quickly. It seems that I have a lot of eyeliner around me! It just so happened that he also wanted to enter the palace to see Long Zeye.

Thinking of Jian Ning before leaving, Xiahou Yan instructed Feng Yang: "You stay here, and you will be notified immediately if there is any situation." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Feng Yang was originally following behind Xiahou Yan, and when he heard Xiahou Yan say this, he immediately stood still and nodded in response.

There's that girl from Xiaoyao Valley here, and it shouldn't be okay. Those people won't let her be okay either. Thinking like this, Xiahou Yan left quickly.

After returning to the palace and changing clothes, he went directly to the palace.

At this time, in the imperial study, in addition to Long Zeye, there was also a man in his thirties dressed in the official mansion. You don't need to look to know that the one kneeling here at this time must be Jing Zhaoyin.

Xiahou Yan entered the imperial study and did not salute Long Zeye, he was originally the prince of a country, and it was normal for him to perform a ceremonial salute when he was polite, but now that Yuan Chu was in the front, even if Xiahou Yan did not salute, no one would dare to say anything.

"Your Majesty, the main hall is in a good mood to go out today, I want to feel the New Year of Yuan Chu, but I don't want to encounter such a thrilling thing, this Yuan Chu's security is really an eye-opener for this prince!" Although Xiahou Yan's words did not have a single question, they were full of sarcasm and belittling.

And Jing Zhaoyin, who was kneeling there, was even more frightened and trembling, now that such a thing happened in Kyoto, he was Jing Zhaoyin to blame!

Originally, today's Chinese New Year, he was still eating happily at home with his wife and children, but he didn't want the yamen to suddenly receive a report that the prince of Dongshang was assassinated in Xiangshui Lake. He was so frightened that he smashed the rice bowl in his hand and almost bounced off the stool.

After asking about the situation, he was even more frightened, and there was actually a woman on the boat who was injured and unconscious, and the prince immediately left with someone in his arms.

His own people didn't see the scene at that time, and the person who came to report the crime didn't say anything, and left after putting the bodies of those killers in Jingzhao Mansion, so the situation at that time was mostly told by the people who were there.

In Jing Zhaoyin's ears, the woman who was on the boat at that time could let Prince Yan leave with her arms should be Princess Leling. Princess Leling is now not only the princess of Dongshang, but also the future queen of Yuan Chu, if the princess is injured, then her own sin will really be great.

"Prince Yan encountered such an unpleasant thing in my Yuanchu, I will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly and give Prince Yan an explanation." Long Zeye couldn't say anything to refute at the moment, so he could only promise to give Xiahou Yan an explanation, so as to make things smaller.

Seeing that Xiahou Yan didn't speak, he obviously acquiesced in this way of dealing with it. In fact, everyone understands in their hearts what the origin of these people is, and Xiahou Yan doesn't want to make too much trouble this time.

"I don't know if those killers hurt Prince Yan's side?" Regarding this assassination incident, Long Zeye had naturally received the news a long time ago, but it happened too quickly, and Xiahou Yan used a trick this time, so he didn't know the specific things at that time.

"I heard that a woman was injured on the ship at that time, I don't know if it was," Long Zeye asked tentatively.

"Ling'er is fine, and no one on the boat was injured, but a woman invited by Ling'er was a little frightened. It is said that the female emperor also knows it, it is Jian Ning. "Xiahou Yan doesn't intend to hide these things from Long Zeye, if Long Zeye wants to know these things, he can know them by checking them casually, and he doesn't need to hide them at all, and he can't hide them.

"But Your Majesty, although Ling'er was not injured this time, your country is so safe, and the palace is really worried about Ling'er's safety in the palace!" Xiahou Yan didn't give Long Zeye a chance to speak, and said directly.

Long Zeye knew what he wanted to do as soon as he heard what Xiahou Yan meant. It is obvious that Xiahou Yan wants to take advantage of this assassination to force himself to marry Le Ling, at least to give a wedding date.

"Prince Yan is too worried, this incident is accidental, although Prince Yan can rest assured, such a thing will definitely not happen a second time." Long Zeye immediately said.

"Now that the New Year has passed, I will find Qin Tian to supervise the selection of an auspicious day to marry the princess as soon as possible. Prince Yan is relieved of the princess's safety. ”

"This is very good, this palace believes that the father and the queen mother must also want to know the day of Ling'er's marriage." Xiahou Yan nodded with a smile.

Originally, this wedding date should have been set on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, but at that time, Hua Yuebai intervened, and the time was limited, so it has been delayed until now, and no specific date has been given.

"Just now I heard Prince Yan say that Princess Leling invited Jian Ning, but I don't know when the princess and Jian Ning became acquainted?" Long Zeye was obviously very skeptical of this matter. He had always known that Xiahou Yan seemed to be different from Jian Ning, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

This time, it was the princess who invited Jian Ning on the surface, but in fact, I am afraid that it was Xiahou Yan's meaning! And obviously he didn't want anyone else to know, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make such a big detour.

"After Ling'er tasted the cake made by Jian Ning in Xiangzhai that day, she liked it very much, so she specially asked Jian Ning for advice this time." Xia Houyan casually gave an excellent reason.

Indeed, between women, such a reason is reasonable. Seeing that Xiahou Yan passed so easily, Long Zeye also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he stopped talking.

Glancing at Jing Zhaoyin, who was kneeling there, Long Zeye said majestically: "The assassination case of Prince Yan will be handed over to King Xiang for personal investigation, and you are responsible for assisting King Xiang and making up for it!" If there is any slack during the period, you don't have to sit in this Jing Zhaoyin position! ”

"The minister's decree, thank the emperor for his kindness!" Jing Zhao Yin kowtowed heavily as if he had been amnesty. (To be continued) R466
