The water seemed to have just been boiled, and Princess Linhua exclaimed, and when she looked down, she saw that her chest was red and swollen. Luo Qinghe was also anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly find the imperial doctor!" Take the princess back quickly, and rinse the burned area with cold water! ”

But before she could finish speaking, the instigator of this matter, the county lord of Yun'an, suddenly pointed to the palace people on the side and said sharply: "You drag this wild girl out for me, and beat her to death!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qinghe was shocked: It wasn't me who splashed water on the princess, how could this person want his own life as soon as he came up!

But in the end, the master is the master, as soon as the lord of Yun'an spoke, the palace people on the side didn't care who made the mistake, and immediately rushed up, just thinking that they could keep themselves safe after arresting the subordinates and taking the blame.

Twisting Luo Qinghe's arm, the two strong eunuchs escorted Luo Qinghe and walked out of the garden.

"No, no! Wronged! Seeing that this person was about to drag herself to a secluded place without saying anything, Luo Qinghe's desire to survive made her care about nothing else, and shouted in a panic: "It's not my fault!" Help me! Mr. Xu!! Ah, I have Dr. Yang's folding fan! ”

Luo Qinghe was completely panicked at this time, in this era, civilians have the least status, and the people in the palace pinch themselves to death like pinching ants! But if she died in the palace like this, how could she be willing!

Just when she was full of despair, she heard a calm and majestic male voice shouting: "Let her go!" ”

"I've seen the King of Plain, Lord Wan'an!"

Since the prince had spoken, the two eunuchs must not dare to slack off, and they hurriedly knelt down as soon as they threw Luo Qinghe on the ground.

But this is a cobblestone path, Luo Qinghe was caught off guard and fell heavily on the uneven stone, his eyes were dark in pain, and he didn't have the heart to listen to the people on the side. But the desire to survive made her care about anything else, so she got up in a hurry and crawled to the man's feet, crying: "This is not the case, it is not me who hurt the princess!" It's her..."

Fang Cai, who was gloating and watching the excitement in place, saw that this man had the intention of saving Luo Qinghe, and saw that Luo Qinghe still had to identify himself at this moment, so he suddenly came over with an angry face and shouted, "Presumptuous!" It's clear that you, an unidentified wild girl, couldn't hold the tea tray to hurt the princess, and now you still have the face to plead? Could it be that someone deliberately instructed you to murder the princess? ”

"No, not really!" Luo Qinghe clung to his glimmer of life and hurriedly denied it.

At this time, the man who heard a strange voice smiled again: "I thought that such a fierce and fierce woman was only available in the desert of our Mibu Department, but I didn't think that you Wenyuan also had such a temperamental woman, it's really interesting!" ”

"Presumptuous! How do you talk! Yun An heard this person say that he was fierce, and he was dissatisfied: "I am the lord of the county, and you dare to criticize it?" Believe it or not, I cut off your head? ”

I saw that the face of the prince of Hirano changed slightly.

But Xia Hafu was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "Although I am from the Western Regions and don't understand your Wenyuan's laws, I will lose my head because of a joke, what a joke!" ”

Before King Pingye could speak, Yun An looked at Xia Hafu contemptuously and sneered: "Joke? What kind of thing dare you laugh with me? I'm telling you, as long as the lord of this county is unhappy, killing you is as easy as killing a chicken! ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was much more than a joke!

Xia Hafu is also an envoy from the Western Regions, although this Mi tribe is not as strong as the Wenyuan Kingdom, but the people of the Mi tribe are in the company of the beast Huangsha all day long, and they can also be called brave and good at fighting. At this time, Wen Yuan had just been founded, and the frontier was not yet stable, but even if the Xuan Mi Department could not defeat Guangling and provoked a war on the border, this price would not be borne by Wen Yuanguo!

Although Xia Hafu was a little embarrassed when he found fault in the court, it was he who first provoked at that time, and then was refuted by the talents with reason. But at this time, the unreasonable and extremely contemptuous attitude of the county lord of Yun'an made Xia Hafu a little annoyed.

Just now, he ate several large steaks in succession at the state banquet on a whim, and drank a lot of wine, Murong Wei saw that he was uncomfortable, so he asked the fourth prince, King Pingye, to personally lead him out for a walk to eat, but he never expected to encounter such trouble.

The reason why King Fang Pingye wanted to stop this farce was just because he felt that it was a little indecent to make such a fuss in front of outsiders, but he didn't expect that the county lord of Yun'an didn't understand his eyes so much, and he still didn't let go of it.

Seeing that Xia Hafu's eyes were slightly cold, King Pingye chuckled and arched his hand and said: "Lord Xia Hafu, this little girl's temperament is a little perverse, but she is still an ignorant child, I will compensate you for her, and please don't go to your heart!" ”

It's not that King Pingye wants to defend the lord of Yun'an, but at the moment, with the strength of Wenyuan's treasury, he really can't withstand the war anymore! This matter was provoked by Yun'an, and King Yipingye could only say that the unhappiness between the lord of Wenyuan and the envoys of Fanbang was the nonsense of the youngest daughter's family, and then bowed his head in her name to appease the envoys of the Mi Ministry.

I thought that when it came to this point, ordinary people should be interested, but this Yun'an was not an honest person, and when he heard that the king of Pingye said that he was ignorant, he immediately crossed his waist, and took out a domineering posture and reprimanded: "King Pingye, don't forget your identity!" I'm your cousin by seniority, how dare you be so disrespectful! ”

In Yun An's opinion, this King of Plains is really not a character: this person is just a fourth prince, even if he is a prince, the first three people must die before he can take his turn, besides, this person has been weak since he was a child, his body does not seem to be strong, and his behavior is not as flamboyant as that of several other princes, and today he actually took the initiative to bow his head to a foreign envoy?

Thinking like this, the county lord of Yun'an despised this king of Pingye even more, relying on his identity as the daughter of the marquis of Qishan, and set up a stand in front of the king of Pingye.

When King Hirano heard this, he didn't bother with her, but said lightly: "Since you want to discuss family affairs with your 'nephew', then I bother you to talk in private, but don't let the foreigners watch the excitement!" ”

Yun An was still unwilling, sneered and wanted to force King Pingye to apologize to himself, but at this time, a palace maid suddenly bowed down and whispered: "County Lord, our princess said that she couldn't support it and wanted to go back to the dormitory to take medicine, please go and help!" ”

Although the lord of Yun'an didn't know the power of this Pingye King, Linhua did know it very well in his heart. Although this King of the Plains seems to be low-key and soft, but his ruthlessness and the city, almost no one in the royal family dares to offend him.

Thinking that she had an acquaintance with the lord of Yun'an, and this person was the most favored daughter of the Marquis of Qi Shan, Princess Linhua thought about it, and still ordered the palace maid to come and take her away.

Yun An, who has always been arrogant, saw that Princess Linhua had the intention of avoiding it, and her heart was somewhat empty, but if she was asked to give up, she would never be reconciled: "That's it, you, drag this wild girl away for me!" ”

"Childe help!"

There was another cry from his feet, and the king of the plain looked down, only to see the woman struggling with her brocade robe: "Do you remember me!" Last time you ate the barbecue I made for you, they said that I entered the palace this time or at your suggestion! ”

finally saw this person's face clearly with hazy teary eyes, and Luo Qinghe suddenly felt that he saw hope. But when it was such a matter of name, Luo Qinghe didn't forget to hide the fact that they met in Wei Chigong's mansion.

When King Hirano heard this, he was surprised and said, "Miss Luo? ”

"Yes! Childe, just after I finished frying the steak and walked with Mr. Xu to the palace gate, I didn't want to be intercepted by a drunk adult by the palace wall and said to beg for water, Mr. Xu was scolded and dragged so he could only stay and take care of it, I went out to look for water first, and then I happened to meet a eunuch named Xiao Hezi, so I asked him to give me this pot of water first. ”

Luo Qinghe hurriedly explained: "But when I was about to go back to deliver water, I got lost, and when I was waiting for the palace people to show me the way, I heard the princess and the county lord laughing and came over, at that time I didn't know the identity of the two and was afraid of losing etiquette so I hid, but later I was accidentally discovered, but before I could speak, the county lord of Yun'an raised his hand to hit me, but accidentally overturned the kettle and injured Princess Linhua!" Childe, I really can't blame me for this! ”

As he spoke, Luo Qinghe hurriedly pulled out the folding fan hidden in his sleeve and said, "This folding fan was given to me by Dr. Yang Tong, saying that if there is an accident, I will present the fan to the emperor, and the emperor will surround my life!" Childe, please take me to the emperor! ”

"Dead girl, you still dare to quibble?! When the county took the initiative, if you were honest, how could you hurt Princess Linhua! I'm embarrassed to intercede here, but the county lord hasn't bothered with you about the hot hand just now! Come! Immediately drag this shameless slut out and throw herself into the well! Look how she still makes a mistake! Listening to Luo Qinghe's explanation, Yun Andeng was furious, although Luo Qinghe's words were right, but if she really admitted it, wouldn't it be her own mistake?

"Lord Wang, it seems that this matter still needs to be decided by the Holy Lord!" Xia Hafu, who was watching quietly, realized at this moment that he had just eaten several pieces of pan-fried steak from the hands of this girl, so he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Luo Qinghe and said: "Don't worry, girl, we all say in the desert that people who cook delicious food are fairies sent by shamans to spread happiness in the world, and today I am fortunate to taste your craftsmanship and feel the happiness brought by food, so I will definitely repay this kindness!" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at this cheap girl, the county lord of Yun'an said angrily: "Okay! This is my cousin's world, how dare you not speak to me, and what shaman do you use to suppress me? Do you still want to find the Holy One? That's my cousin! Hmph, let's get him right now and let him cure you of a great sin of disrespect! ”

I originally thought that this Yun'an County Lord was just a little willful, but I didn't expect this person to be so arrogant and vulgar, and he didn't know the general situation! Looking at Yun An's mean face, King Pingye felt a wave of disgust in his heart, frowned and said coldly: "Since you are so uneven, it is better to invite the Marquis of Qi Shan to administer justice to you together!" ”

As he spoke, King Hirano waved his hand and asked the little guy behind him to invite someone.

But at this time, Murong Wei came here with the Queen Mother and other harem ladies.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress were discussing in the Imperial Garden that they were the talents of the princesses, and the conversation was almost over, and the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite Murong Wei over to make a decision.

When the group was chatting in the garden, they happened to hear the movement here.

When Murong Wei heard that the county lord of Yun'an actually threatened his son with his own name, and he was embarrassed in front of the envoys of Fanbang, his face turned cold, although he didn't say a word, but the people on the side saw his unhappiness and honestly silenced.

But people like the county lord of Yun'an, who couldn't understand the eyes, saw that Murong Wei's face was not good, and thought that he was dissatisfied when he saw that he was being squeezed, so he stepped forward with a proud face and complained: "Cousin! Come and do me justice, they've gone too far! ”

Murong Wei didn't answer, but said lightly to King Pingye: "King Pingye, your uncle has been ignoring the world because of his frailty, why do you bother him with an old man!" ”

"The child is stupid, please atone for your father's sins!" When King Hirano heard this, he said respectfully.

Murong Wei nodded, but he still didn't glance at Yun An, and commanded directly: "Please ask Mrs. Qi Shanhou to come over and go to the Empress Dowager's palace to wait for the county lord of Yun'an." ”

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yun An was a little puzzled and froze in place.

But Murong Wei, who had just been reprimanded, was like a mirror, and lowered his head to hide the sneer on his lips. His own father was the one who single-handedly established Wenyuan, how could he lose the general situation like Yun'an, and offend the envoys of Fanbang for a small county lord?

Moreover, with a well-known identity like the Marquis of Qi Shan, although Murong Wei respected his uncle, he was still somewhat jealous, so he would not be able to fuel Yun An's arrogance now!

Since Murong Wei wants to hand over Yun An to the Queen Mother, it means that Yun An will not be better this time!

I saw Murong Wei turn his head and chuckle at Xia Hafu: "This Yun'an County Lord only recognized her father Qishan Marquis not long ago, I think I haven't had time to learn all the rules and etiquette, all the offenses today, I hope to make the envoy Haihan!" ”

After hearing this, Xia Hafu waved his hand and laughed loudly: "It's okay! I heard a few days ago that the Marquis of Qi Mountain of Wenyuan had found the girl who had been living abroad and begging for many years, and I was still curious, but I didn't expect to meet him today! ”

The experience of begging outside was the last thing the county lord of Yun'an wanted to mention, and as soon as Xia Hafu's words came out, she said angrily with shame on her face: "Presumptuous! The lord of this county is also what you dare to arrange! ”

"Choreography?" Xia Hafuqi said: "Where did I say wrong, haven't you begged for food before?" ”

"It used to be before, but now I am the daughter of the dignified Qi Mountain Marquis, the lord of Yun'an!"

"Then were you the lord of the county when you were begging? No way? ”

Seeing that this person hit the nail on the head and unabashedly mentioned that he had begged for food, Yun An only felt that a nameless fire was burning in his heart, but at the moment, none of the people in the garden could be used to vent his anger.

With a turn of his eyes, he saw Luo Qinghe standing quietly on the side. The county lord of Yun'an felt that he had finally found a soft persimmon, so he jumped forward and slapped it out: "Slut, if it weren't for you and me, how could people be ridiculed so much!" ”

Everyone didn't expect this Yun'an to dare to be so arrogant in front of the emperor, so they didn't have time to react.

At this time, she saw a smoke-blue figure blocking Luo Qinghe in an instant, and she was blocking this slap for her. There was only a crisp sound, and five red fingerprints were printed on the man's white face.

Looking at the Qingyun Immortal Crane embroidered on the placket of this person, all the people who participated in the state banquet suddenly gasped and exclaimed.

But this person didn't care, but knelt down straight and saluted Murong Wei, and said respectfully: "Please be merciful, Weichen is willing to accept the punishment for this girl!" ”

"What does that mean?" The change came so quickly that even Murong Wei didn't react, looking at the person kneeling in front of him in a daze, and said in surprise.

But this person didn't explain, but turned around and kowtowed to Luo Qinghe: "Girl's great grace, I finally have a chance to repay it!" ”

Who is this? What was he talking about? Aren't you going crazy again? Seeing this person kowtowing to himself, Luo Qinghe was also startled, and subconsciously hid back.

Although Luo Qinghe didn't know the identity of this person, almost everyone present knew him.

Xi Chen.

The first talent who stood out and won the first place in the examination for the first time since the founding of Wenyuan, the eldest son of the scholarly family Yingchuan Xi, is also the first person to speak at the state banquet, and he has leveled Xia Hafu appropriately, so it can be said that Fang Cai is in the limelight in front of the ministers!

But why are such good people willing to put down their dignity and block a slap in the face for this ordinary ordinary person?

Since Xi Chen can make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military praise, it is naturally not just because of impulse that he heroically saves the beauty.

In fact, he had already wanted to come to the Imperial Garden with Mr. Xu to sober up, but as soon as they arrived here, they saw Yun'an arguing with the King of Plains.

Xi Chen knew in his heart that this royal matter was not something he could take care of, so he quietly hid aside and watched the excitement. Mr. Xu was anxious to step forward to rescue Luo Qinghe, but he was dragged by Xi Chen, saying that he should not act rashly until the last moment, so as not to get into trouble.

But when he saw Luo Qinghe's appearance clearly, and when he heard Na Xia Hafu mock the county lord of Yun'an as a begging person, Xi Chen suddenly remembered that the girl who Mr. Xu wanted to save several times was not the great benefactor who saved his son on the painting boat that day!

And the arrogant and domineering county lord of Yun'an, who was bent on putting people to death, was the enemy who shot his son with an arrow that day!

However, this champion's reaction is fast, and after this Xi Chen realized this, he immediately had a plan in his heart that could not only repay his kindness, but also take revenge.

Yes, when he saw that the county lord of Yun'an was about to make a move again, he stepped forward to block this vicious slap for Luo Qinghe.

After kowtowing to Luo Qinghe, Xi Chen turned around to meet everyone's puzzled eyes, squeezed out a few tears, and choked up: "Girl, do you remember the child who was shot by a feather arrow and almost lost his life on the Shaoyang Lake painting boat that day!" I am the father of that child! If you hadn't saved my child regardless of the danger, I'm afraid my four-year-old son would have died! Benefactor, that day I and my inner man were already distraught because of the child's injury, so I forgot to ask your name, but fortunately I have a good memory, and I drew the appearance of you and the benefactor under the reminder of my inner person! ”

As he spoke, Xi Chen trembled and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve: "I have been carrying it with me since the day I beat it, and I thought that I would meet you one day!" ”

Luo Qinghe looked at it, and sure enough, he saw the portrait of himself and Fang Shaoze painted on this handkerchief, and then he completely remembered the events of that day: "That... Is your son okay now? ”

Xi Chen is waiting for this sentence!

As soon as he heard Luo Qinghe deliver a message to him, Xi Chen hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, "Fortunately, the benefactor helped that day, otherwise my son would have died on the spot in this ruthless arrow!" Now the child has almost recovered, and Fushang Langzhong is also using decoction to recuperate for my son. ”

Although Xi Chen didn't say a word about the perpetrator, anyone with a discerning eye could hear that someone must have deliberately murdered the young child!

The owner of this arrow, Lord Yun'an, was already covered in cold sweat at this time.

Sure enough, when Murong Wei heard this, he said angrily: "Who dares to attack and harm a child in Guangling County!" There is no king's law! Xi Zhuangyuan, you can explain that I will give you justice! ”

"The emperor's ......" Xi Chen, who was still clever at the state banquet, did not dare to speak at the moment.

Looking at his description, Murong Wei knew that Xi Chen must have felt that he couldn't afford to provoke this murderer.

The person who may not be able to offend the Xi family must have a lot of power in the court, but if such a person even has such a dead hand with a four-year-old child, then I don't know how many things he can do in private!

Thinking of this, Murong Wei's eyes suddenly showed fierceness, and he said coldly: "Xi Chen, don't worry, boldly say, since I mentioned it today, I will never tolerate it!" ”

But Xi Chen still didn't say it directly, but just bowed to Murong Wei and said, "Before you say it, can the emperor allow Weichen to send someone to get an object?" Also, since he saw his benefactor today, Xi Chen is willing to exchange his name for his benefactor's peace, and I hope that the emperor will be gracious! ”

Seeing that the topic was about Luo Qinghe again, Murong Wei looked at Luo Qinghe with sharp eyes and said, "Why did you annoy the county lord just now?" ”

Luo Qinghe saw that the opportunity had come, so he hurriedly knelt down and explained Fang Cai's matter again.

After hearing this, Mr. Xu also bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty, it was indeed because the drunken Lord Xi dragged the villain that he couldn't let go, so he could only let Miss Luo go to find water." But we waited by the palace wall for a long time and didn't wait for anyone, so I thought Master Xi wanted to come and look for it..."

Seeing that Mr. Xu, who had been working hard in the palace for more than 30 years, spoke for Luo Qinghe, Murong Wei nodded and believed it.

What's even more coincidental is that Princess Linhua, who also said that she went back to heal her wounds, also sent a eunuch over at this time to spread the word: "Princess Linhua asked the slave to come over and say a word, it was the lord of Yun'an who knocked over the teapot and injured the princess, and asked the emperor to punish this innocent person!" ”

In this way, the truth is revealed.

But the county lord of Yun'an, who was sold by his friend, was still unwilling: "If she didn't block it just now..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xia Hafu sneer: "She is not a descendant of your family, why was she beaten by you for nothing?" Could it be that when you were begging for food, you never stopped when you were beaten? ”

Looking at Yun An's red-eared appearance, Xia Hafu turned back to Murong Wei with satisfaction and said, "Holy Lord, the fragrant fried steak at the state banquet finally made me see how amazing your Wenyuan's food is!" Now I just happened to see this cook, and I asked the saint to give me a lesson, and when I returned to the Minyabu, I could let them taste this delicious taste from Wenyuan! ”

In fact, this Xia Hafu doesn't really want to learn, but he just thinks that this internal matter of the royal family, he is not a good person in this state.

Murong Wei smiled when he heard this: "It's naturally no problem to teach you!" However, this girl is only afraid that she is physically and mentally exhausted after experiencing this turmoil today, so it is better to let her go back and rest first, and you can make an appointment another day! ”

Xia Hafu saluted again after hearing this, and thanked him happily.

"It's all gone! Xi Chen, you come with me! Murong Wei glanced at Yun An coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.

Since the emperor had spoken, after sending the others away, Mr. Xu also hurriedly led Luo Qinghe away, leaving only Yun An, who was frightened by Murong Wei and didn't know how to be good, was stunned in place.

It didn't take long for an old lady with a mean face to come over and say coldly: "County Lord, the Queen Mother has summoned you over!" ”
