When Xiao Nansheng heard the news and rushed over, it was already half an hour later, and after Qu Wurong returned to Yuxin Palace, she was in bed to recuperate under the persuasion of Huang Li and Huang Ying, although she never understood that she had injured her arms and not her legs and feet, why did they have to lie down and rest by themselves?

"Madam, the lord of the kingdom has arrived!" A little palace maid stood outside the dormitory and replied crisply.

Qu Wurong was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed to greet him, but he heard Xiao Nansheng's voice and then sounded: "Don't move if you're injured, just rest in bed!" ”

"It's just an arm, it's not a crippled leg and can't move." Qu Wurong finally had the opportunity to express the dissatisfaction in her heart, no matter what she said just now, Huang Li and Huang Ying were deaf, as if she was injured so badly that she didn't heal.

Xiao Nansheng sat down on the chair brought by Huang Li, looked at her arm bandaged with white cloth, and the look in her eyes darkened, "What's going on?" I heard Tianming say that the black-clothed assassin was very strong in martial arts, and the law and order in Xiao Cheng had always been good, who was so bold that he dared to commit murder on the street? ”

"I'm afraid it's not just any kind of murder." Qu Wurong pursed his mouth and said what was in his heart, "If I'm not mistaken, those people should be coming for me." ”

Hearing her words, Xiao Nansheng couldn't help frowning, "But you've only been here for a few months, and you haven't had a grudge against anyone, who wants to put you to death?" ”

"I guess it's in someone's eyes." Qu Wurong also felt very puzzled at this point, she had thought about it many times on the way back, but she never came up with a suitable reason, so she just casually vented the dissatisfaction in her heart.

It's just that after Xiao Nansheng heard her words, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Madam, the medicine is boiled, drink it while it's hot." At this time, Huang Ying walked in with a bowl of steaming black-brown medicinal juice, and saw that both of them were deep in thought, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Hearing her voice, Xiao Nansheng came back to his senses from his thoughts, stood up and shook the dragon robe on his body, he said in a deep voice: "You can stay in the palace for a few days and rest well, don't worry about other things, it's important to take care of your body, as for this matter, I will give you an explanation." ”

"yes, okay." Qu Wurong nodded, "I see." ”

After he left, Qu Wurong took the medicine bowl in Huang Ying's hand, and the bitter smell of medicine rushed into her nose, making her frown, but she still held back the discomfort and drank the medicine juice in one gulp.

Huang Ying took the empty bowl in her hand, tucked the quilt for her again, and then said: "Madame has just been frightened a lot, let's rest first, and the slave will come to call you again when we have lunch later." ”

Although Qu Wurong felt that his little injury was nothing at all, but seeing her worried eyes, he took it back if he wanted to refuse, and just nodded, "Okay." ”

After Xiao Nansheng left Yuxin Palace, he originally planned to go back to the imperial study to continue to deal with political affairs, but thinking about it, this matter seems to reveal something strange, Xu Tianming has been with him for so many years, and Xiao Nansheng knows his martial arts very well, so he will rest assured that he will follow Qu Wurong out of the palace alone, and did not send other guards to accompany him.

But this time, not only Qu Wurong was injured, but even Xu Tianming himself had many sword wounds of different shades, which showed that the kung fu of the black-clothed assassin was more than a little bit higher than him, and there were not many people who could be higher than the martial arts of his inner guards, and there were only a few people who thought about it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nansheng's footsteps suddenly stopped, because he thought of a possibility, but as soon as this thought came to his mind, he shook his head and denied it.

Qu Wurong's help to him secretly deal with Yu Feilong was very hidden, except for the two of them, there was no third person who knew about it, even if Yu Feilong was full of eyeliner in the palace, it would not be possible to detect it, so Qu Wurong should not have been assassinated by Jade Feilong for this reason.

It's just that apart from Yu Feilong, Xiao Nansheng can no longer think of anyone who can instruct such a master to assassinate Qu Wurong, and even if there is, what is his purpose?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, Xiao Nansheng took a turn of steps and walked in the direction of Yuqing Palace.

Will he come over these days, so Yu Ruyi was not surprised by his appearance today, and happily welcomed him into the hall, only then did he notice that his face did not look very good.

"What's the matter, Lord?" Handing him the milk wine that the red parrot had brought him, Yu Ruyi asked softly.

Xiao Nansheng took the cup and put it aside, and sighed softly, "It's nothing, it's just that I encountered some troubles, and I want to come to Concubine Ai to ask for a clean time." ”

"Oh?" Hearing him say this, Yu Ruyi became interested, "Is it a matter of the previous dynasty?" ”

Xiao Nansheng shook his head, "No." ”

"Is that what is going on in the harem that upsets the lord of the country?" Yu Ruyi frowned slightly when she heard this, "Is it that the concubine did something bad, so she made the lord unhappy?" ”

"It's none of your business!" Xiao Nansheng said, stretching out his hand to hold her, "Although this incident is a matter in the harem, it did happen outside the palace." ”

Hearing his words, Yu Ruyi couldn't help but become even more curious, "Can you tell the concubine what is the matter?" ”

Xiao Nansheng originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about this, I will be very angry when I mention it!" After speaking, he paused a little, and then continued as if he remembered something: "By the way, there may be some unevenness outside the palace recently, if the concubine is fine, it is better not to leave the palace!" ”

The Bailiao royal family is not as strict as Daliang is to control the actions of the harem concubines, and if the ladies are bored in the palace, they can also go out of the palace at any time to relax, as long as they ask the lord for instructions.

Although she didn't understand why he told herself like this, Yu Ruyi still nodded and agreed, "The concubine didn't often go out of the palace, unlike some people's ......" Speaking of this, she suddenly realized something and asked: "Lord of the country, but has something happened to Mrs. Qu?" ”

He just said that it was something in the harem, but it happened outside the palace, and if he thought about it, it could only be that Qu Wurong encountered something when he left the palace, so he specially told him to go out of the palace as little as possible recently, so as not to have any accidents.

Thinking of what her brother had said to her before, a trace of panic suddenly flashed in Yu Ruyi's eyes, could it be that her brother really let people assassinate Qu Wurong, right?

Although the panic in her eyes was only a flash, Xiao Nansheng had been paying careful attention to every expression on her face, so he didn't miss this strangeness, and it also confirmed the conjecture in his heart: Qu Wurong's assassination was really inseparable from their brother and sister!

The reason why he appeared here today was also because he thought of another possibility, so he deliberately mentioned this matter without saying anything, if it wasn't for the ghost in her heart, she wouldn't think of Qu Wurong's body.

"Concubine Ai is really smart!" Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Xiao Nansheng continued to talk to her with words, "She was assassinated when she left the palace today, if it weren't for my bodyguards, I'm afraid she would have died by now!" ”

The guess in her heart was confirmed, Yu Ruyi didn't know what to say for a while, she was afraid that if she said too much, Xiao Nansheng's attention would be diverted to her, and now it seems that Xiao Nansheng should not know that it was her brother who sent someone behind her back to do this.

But if you don't say something, it's not appropriate, it seems to be even more empty-hearted, Yu Ruyi carefully recalled what he just said, suddenly grasped a key point, and immediately pouted and asked: "The lord of the country gave her all the guards, do you like her so much?" ”

Seeing that she changed the topic in this jealous tone, Xiao Nansheng's eyes darkened, but he explained to her: "Where did Concubine Ai go, I didn't give her the Xu guards, but I was worried about her safety, so I asked the Xu guards to protect her when she left the palace." ”

Yu Ruyi snorted lightly when she heard this, "Worried about her safety, don't you like her?" ”

"Concubine Ai's vinegar is so unreasonable!" Xiao Nansheng stretched out his hand and pinched her puffy little face, and said with a smile, "The reason why I am worried about her safety is because her safety is related to the alliance between Bailiao and Daliang. If the emperor of Daliang uses this incident as an excuse to break the alliance with us, and even unites with the Cypriot to come to crusade, then we will be in great trouble! ”

Yu Ruyi was shocked when she said this, the reason why she agreed to her brother's assassination of Qu Wurong was not only because she felt that her appearance was very strange, but also because of Xiao Nansheng's attitude towards her, which made her have a strong hostility towards the women who appeared next to Xiao Nansheng, but she didn't expect that Qu Wurong's accident would have such a strict consequence!

What she wants is just to redeem Xiao Nansheng's feelings for her, but she doesn't want to be a sinner who has lost her country, this time fortunately, Qu Wurong was only injured and did not worry about her life, otherwise it would be too late for her to regret it!

Looks like she'll have to find a chance to talk to her brother about it!

Xiao Nansheng quietly watched the change in the expression on her face, he has been a husband and wife for nearly five years, he still knows a little about the mind of the woman in front of him, and he also understands that what she wants is different from her brother Yu Feilong, if he can use her mind to contain Yu Feilong, it will be a matter of half the effort for him.

The thoughts in his heart kept tossing and turning, but Xiao Nansheng's face was still calm, "But fortunately, there is no big thing this time, and the wound on Mrs. Qu's arm is only a skin injury, and she will be fine after a few days of recuperation, which is also a great luck in misfortune!" ”

"yes!" Hearing him say this, Yu Ruyi also temporarily let go of what she was thinking, "Later, the concubine will personally go to Yuxin Palace to visit Mrs. Qu, and the lord of the country should not worry too much!" ”

"There's no need for a visit, and it's not a serious injury!" Xiao Nansheng waved his hand indifferently, but what he thought in his heart was that since today's incident was inseparable from their brother and sister, wouldn't letting her visit Qu Wurong be tantamount to luring the wolf into the room? "As long as Concubine Ai takes care of the affairs of the harem, she will be worried about me!"

Hearing him say this, Yu Ruyi stopped insisting, anyway, she offered to visit Qu Wurong, it was just to please Xiao Nansheng, since he didn't let her go, it was exactly what she wanted.
