"Not only is there an osmanthus heart in it, but also a lily, which is fresh and refreshing, Miss, you can taste it quickly." Qing Cicada picked up a piece and handed it to Ning Zhao's mouth, full of expectations.

Ning Zhao opened his mouth and took a small bite, and then the pastry melted in his mouth, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus was combined with the sweetness of the lily, but the taste was very good.

"Hmm." Ning Zhao nodded and praised: "It's really good, is there anything else?" Give some to your mother to taste. ”

"Absolutely!" Qing Cicada smiled and said, "Everyone in the house has a share." ”

Just came back from the palace, Ning Zhao was still pretending to be troublesome, but he was relieved a lot by Qing Cicada's gag.

It was almost time for Ning Zhao to return to the house, so she didn't go to the hospital again, she still remembered what Liuying brought for Jin Yuan, and asked her to stay in the mansion.

Although there was a conjecture in his heart, the fourth princess did not find it for a day, and this matter was not concluded in the end, Ning Zhaoxian had nothing to do at home, teasing Xiaohua while thinking nonsense in his heart.

Until nightfall, Ning Zhao accompanied Aunt Dou to have dinner, and rested early after returning to the room.

Bangzi knocked for the third time, and it was already the third watch.

Yesterday, the fourth princess disappeared, and the city of Kyoto was already under martial law, and there were officers and soldiers patrolling around in the middle of the night.

The green leather tiles on the eaves shook slightly, a black cat jumped lightly to the roof of another house, and the street was extremely quiet, with the occasional dog barking and drifting into the air along the gradually cold wind.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded suddenly, startling the black cat that was licking its fur and arched its back, its green eyes wandered around for a long time, and then as if sensing the danger, the black cat fell on all fours, and a few jumps disappeared into the night.

On the deserted street, a pair of patrolling officers and soldiers walked out of the corner, and several people paid attention to the movements around and chatted while chatting, until they walked out of the street, the sound disappeared completely, and a faint sound of footsteps came out of the alley.

The cold wind flickered, there was a moment of stillness, and then it blew again, and where the footsteps came, suddenly there was another person, and the back of the great shore merged in the night, like a beast dormant in the dark, giving people a sense of oppression for no reason.

"Your Excellency." Several men in black bowed to the comer, their voices low.

Liuying glanced at him lightly, and then his gaze fell on the humanoid object under the corner of the wall not far away, "Are you injured?" ”

The men in black glanced at each other, and one of them said helplessly: "The temperament is too strong, and while we are not paying attention, we have injured ourselves." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly added, "But when I found it in time, it was all minor injuries, and there was nothing serious." ”

The Shadow was silent for a moment, then nodded, looked at the corner of the wall, said nothing, and turned to disappear into the night.

After the shadow left, the men in black glanced at each other, and then one of them took a few steps to the entrance of the alley, and shouted into the night: "Dead man! ”

The silence of the night was broken in an instant, and the crowds of firelight accompanied by hurried footsteps rushed towards the place where the sound came from, and the man in black did not stop, quickly retreated back to the alley, and soon disappeared.

"Where are the dead?!" The officers and soldiers of the two teams met, and one of the generals held a torch and asked with a cold face.

Another group of officers and men on patrol also heard the sound and rushed in, but they did not know the specific situation.

Seeing that no one talked, the general gave an order, and two pairs of officers and soldiers searched nearby, and the general personally led a team of men and horses towards the alley next to him.

"My lord! There are people here! Someone shouted, and everyone ran towards him.

The general took a few steps to the person who spoke up, and looked down, and there was indeed a person lying in the corner, he was lying on his stomach, and his face could not be seen clearly, but looking at his clothes and size, it was obvious that it was a woman.

The general's eyelids jumped for no reason, and then he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to turn the person on the ground over, and the next moment, the general's eyes widened violently, and he exclaimed: "Fourth princess?!" ”

At the beginning of the Yin period, the inner courtyard of the palace was brightly lit, the palace maids and eunuchs were in a hurry, there were several imperial doctors standing in front of the Fengyang Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs were even more numerous, one by one, they were silent, and for a while only the footsteps could be seen walking back and forth.

"How is the fourth princess?" A majestic voice sounded, and then the old emperor walked into everyone's sight in a big coat.

Everyone knelt down and saluted the old emperor, who frowned and walked impatiently to the front of the hall, looking down at the imperial physician who was kneeling at his feet.

"What happened to the fourth princess?" The old emperor asked again, his expression majestic.

"Back to the emperor." The Imperial Physician Ling bowed his head and said respectfully: "The fourth princess is frightened and is in a coma, except for the skin injury between her forehead, there is no major problem, as long as she rests for a few days, she will recover." ”

Hearing this, the old emperor's expression was slightly gloomy, but his brows did not loosen.

He looked at the Imperial Doctor's order solemnly, and asked vaguely, "What about the others?" ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the imperial doctor Ling also understood what the old emperor meant, and hurriedly replied: "The doctor girl is inside, and I'll know later." ”

The old emperor took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, he sighed and waved his hand, "Get up." ”

Everyone got up one after another, the imperial physician ordered to retreat aside, and the old emperor stared at the palace door for a long time.

"The emperor's ......" Ai Ai's female voice came, the old emperor closed his eyes, looked back, and saw that the queen was being supported over, her steps were a little staggering, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked too sad at first glance.

"The queen is not in good health, why did she come here?" The old emperor glared at the empress's side and asked.

The old lady looked bitter, looked at the queen and was about to answer, but the queen opened her mouth first, "Jiao'er has been found, how can I not come and see, that's my daughter!" ”

"Hmm...... Your Majesty, how is Jiao'er now? Are there any injuries...... "The queen cried and cried, and the old emperor's head disease was just a little bit and there was a tendency to recidivism.

Seeing that the old emperor didn't speak, the imperial physician on the side hurriedly replied: "Back to the queen's mother, the fourth princess is fine, but she is frightened, just rest for a few days." ”

"Really?" The queen mother hurriedly stepped forward, and the mother helped the person up, for fear that the queen would bump into it.

"Seriously." The Imperial Physician replied.

The queen breathed a long sigh of relief, but she didn't know what she thought, and her tears fell again, "Jiao'er...... What a good thing to do in the future! ”

"That's it!" The old emperor pressed his temples irritably, and shouted, "What does crying look like!" ”

Startled by the old emperor's voice, the queen quickly shut down, sobbing and choking, wanting to say but not daring, holding her breath, looking even more aggrieved.

At this moment, the door of the palace suddenly opened from the inside, and the medicine woman walked out with the medicine box and saluted the old emperor and empress.

"How?" The old emperor took two steps forward with a solemn expression.

The doctor didn't dare to delay, and immediately replied: "The fourth princess is still perfect. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and the old emperor closed his eyes and sighed: "Okay, let's all step down." ”

The imperial physician and the medical woman retreated one after another, leaving only the palace maid and eunuch who were waiting in Fengyang Palace, waiting carefully.
