Chapter 43: Arrest the Assassins
Liu Yuyao, who was holding the pillar, was dumbfounded, seeing that he had already taken off his coat and was about to take off his middle coat, he hurriedly stopped: "You won't live in my room tonight, will you?" ”
Li Che glanced at her idly, hummed without any emotion, and continued to let Xiao Anzi undress.
Liu Yuyao hurriedly said: "No, no, you can go to Meng Xue's room quickly, my bed here is too small to squeeze you!" ”
"Too small?" It was the first time that he had heard a woman use this reason to drive him over, "Since it is only suitable for one person, the prince sleeps on the bed, and you sleep under the bed." ”
After that, he looked at her for a long time, and he had already made up in his mind the situation that the girl was shouting and shouting unwillingly, and then he could take a good mandarin duck bath with her, and sleep with his wife in his arms.
Who knew that Liu Yuyao hesitated for a while, let go of the hand holding the pillar, cleaned up the bedding and pillows on the bed, spread them in the corner, and said casually: "Then so be it." ”
Li Che once again darkened his handsome face, waved Xiao Anzi away with one hand and said, "You all go down!" ”
Naturally a little reluctant, after being married for so long, Liu Yuyao has never let her worry, if the prince has any disputes with her again......
"Go down!" Li Che once again scolded dissatisfiedly.
Shadow had to bend his knees and retreat.
Liu Yuyao showed a harmless smile, patted the soft futon and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, go take a bath, I'll sleep first, I'm so sleepy!" ”
Yan Ba lay directly in the bed, just closed his eyes and heard footsteps wrong, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a man walking to her side, and kicked her angrily: "Get up, go to bed and sleep." ”
Liu Yuyao wrapped the quilt tightly and glanced at him and said, "I'm sorry!" ”
The man snorted and was about to bend down to hug her, but he didn't expect this girl to suddenly stretch out her arm from the quilt to hug him, and laughed while hugging, "Come on, come on, anyway, my aunt didn't take a bath and was gray, who is afraid of whom!" ”
This trick really worked, and I saw Li Che let go of his hand and quickly took a few steps back, his eyebrows locked.
Liu Yuyao looked at him proudly, and saw that he didn't plan to do anything to himself, so he smiled, wrapped himself in the quilt again, and didn't pay attention to the person who gritted his teeth on the side.
She doesn't have any big preferences in her life, one is that she likes silver, the second is that she likes to eat, and third, of course, she sleeps.
She belongs to the kind of person who sleeps on the pillow, and after Li Che came back from the bath, she had already played several games of chess with Zhou Gong.
After squatting in front of the little woman for a long time, the man finally reached out to her, wrapped the bedding around her, reluctantly picked her up, and put her on the bed in three steps and two steps.
When he was done, he pushed her in, and then he lay down in his clothes outside.
With his hands on his arms, he quickly fell asleep after a day of carriage and horses.
It seemed to have only been a short slept when suddenly, a shrill scream reached his eardrums.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and by the bright skylight, his black and white eyes were like a deep astringency.
The screams came from outside, and the guards outside the door were heard running and shouting, "There are assassins!" ”
"Assassins?" The man's first instinct was to jump out of bed, however......
Before that, he had to break one of the legs he was holding on to before removing her hand from his neck.
Looking at Liu Yuyao, who was still in a dream, Li Che snorted coldly and walked out of the room quickly.
The sky was not yet fully bright, and I saw that the torches held high by the guards had already reflected the sky.
Li Che looked in the direction that the guards were chasing, and sure enough, he saw a black figure disappearing into a low tree in a few ups and downs.
He knew the palace well, and soon understood where the road led behind the low trees, and he turned and walked quickly along the base of the wall, contrary to the guards.
One rolled over a wall, his sleek and muscular figure plunging straight across the low trees.
The speed of taking this shortcut was indeed a few points faster than that of the guards, and it didn't take long for him to spot the black figure, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly chased after it.
As the distance gradually narrowed, he spotted a cypress tree, stepped up in three steps and two steps, and leaped forward, directly to the back of the man in black, and without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the man in black.
The man in black was in pain, turned around and slapped the prince.
The prince hurriedly avoided it, but the man in black also hurriedly withdrew his palm.
Before the crown prince's leg wind swept over, the man in black jumped over, and before the prince could make his next move, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness!" It's me! ”
Li Che withdrew his palm, his eyes full of suspicion, "Xia Zhong? How are you?! ”
Xia Zhong hurriedly pulled down the mask in his mouth, clasped his hands into fists and saluted the prince heavily: "My subordinates came to investigate the fact that the fifth prince secretly hid the dragon robe, and I didn't want to alarm the Praetorian Guard. ”
There was too much information for a while, and the prince really didn't react, "What did you say?" ”
Xia Zhong sighed and said, "My subordinates have received a secret report that the fifth prince Li Heng has hidden the dragon robe!" ”
At that moment, Prince Li Che's mind was full of thoughts, but it was not a taste.
Although he knew that the queen and the fifth brother had long been interested in the position of the prince, this gluttonous heart was put on the table, and as a brother, he was still a little reluctant to see it.
What he didn't expect was that this fifth brother looked gentle and elegant on weekdays, and he was like a gentleman, but he would do such a rebellious thing behind his back? !
"Reliable information?"
"What the maid planted by the kamikaze camp beside him said is true, and the maid was killed by him not long after the news came back, so he must have noticed something."
"Why haven't you reported it?"
This made the crown prince Li Che very puzzled, Xia Zhong was his confidant, so he naturally told him what he should say, and he actually hid such a big thing, he was still a little angry in his heart.
Xia Zhong glanced at the many guards who were chasing the assassin from a distance, and said eagerly: "This matter is about the crown princess, the subordinates originally wanted to investigate it in person and then report it to His Highness, but now that His Highness knows, his subordinates must make it clear to His Highness, but not now!" ”
The so-called employment is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not needed, Li Che still understands this truth.
He grabbed the sword in Xia Zhong's hand, slashed it on his arm, and said, "Hurry up!" ”
"Yes!" Xia Zhong was not ambiguous, and disappeared in a few moves.
At this time, the Praetorian Guards also arrived just in time, and just about to chase after him, he heard Li Chehu kneel down on one knee and say: "Ah! This assassin's martial arts are not low! ”
"Your Highness is injured?"
The Praetorian Guards surrounded them and stepped forward to support the prince.
Li Che said: "Leave me alone, it matters if you catch the assassin!" ”
The Janissary Commander shouted, "You guys! Keep chasing! ”
"Yes!" The crowd responded, and chased in the direction where the assassin had disappeared.
Opportunity is in the blink of an eye, sometimes a pause can miss a good opportunity, this assassin, naturally, did not catch it.
This commotion in the early morning alarmed everyone in the palace, and after a while, the emperor and empress and several princes gathered together, talking about this matter, and still had palpitations.
The so-called high-ranking and powerful people cherish their own lives very much, and the peddlers and pawns have no food and clothing, so how can they talk about life?
I only heard the eunuch outside whispering: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" ”
The empress, who was talking to the emperor with her head sideways, said, "Come in." ”
After a while, the crown prince Li Che entered the inner room, lifted his robe and saluted on one knee: "The son is late, and I hope that my father will punish him." ”
When today's son snorted coldly and said, "You are the first soldier, how can you be blamed?" Let's go. ”
"Yes."
As soon as the prince got up and sat down in his seat, he heard Li Lu cough dryly and said, "Third brother, I heard, I heard that you were injured in order to catch the assassin?" Isn't it serious? ”
This Li Lu heard the dissatisfaction between the emperor's words, and wanted to use this method to win the sympathy of others, which could be regarded as fighting for some tolerance for the prince.
Li Che smiled slightly, "It's not a big deal, the imperial doctor has already bandaged the wound." ”
"This sword wound can't be sloppy, especially in a season like this." The fourth prince, Li Xian, who has always been obsessed with swords, shook his head and said, "I don't like the wound medicine in the Tai Hospital, I will send you some good ones to the prince later." ”
"Fourth brother Lao is bothered."
"If a family doesn't talk to two families, what bother not to bother." The fourth prince, Li Xian, said that he was also on his side.
The queen also opened her mouth to care for him and said, "Is the injury serious?" I wonder what the Assassin's martial arts were? ”
Li Che said: "Fortunately, that assassin only has the upper hand in light skills, and his martial arts are not high. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the current son dissatisfied: "You are not good at wielding knives and guns on weekdays, but you still chase assassins single-handedly, if you hurt you, the prince, how should I explain to your grandfather and uncle who are far away?" ”
In a word, the relaxed atmosphere here is a little more dignified.
The smile on Li Che's face was undiminished, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, he looked at the black marble floor, and only felt a cool breath sublimating from the soles of his feet, piercing into each of his bone marrows, making him a little unable to help but want to shiver.
What a chilling sentence, what an irresponsible parent would have to say something that he couldn't explain to his grandfather.
People usually only hear that they can't explain to anyone's parents, because I am afraid that there is no one in this world who is thicker than his parents, and when he comes to him, he is not surnamed Li, but changed his surname to Shen?
Silence in crowded places is often the most embarrassing thing.
Fortunately, Li Lu, who often enlivened the atmosphere, did not let this embarrassment continue, and he was startled and said, "Third brother, show me your wounds!" Does it hurt? ”
The prince lifted his sleeves, revealing the wound that was still bandaged, but had oozed blood, and said, "Why doesn't it hurt, you also know that I am the most afraid of pain." ”
Li Lu shushed at him and said, "Look at the fourth brother, like an iron-beaten man, the last time I took a bath with him, I saw new injuries on his body and old injuries!" ”
The fourth prince, Li Di, laughed and said, "Why is it a good thing that my brother has hurt your kid's mouth?" The queen mother listened to it and said that I taught you badly! ”
Even when I heard it today, I smiled slightly: "It's not wrong for a man to learn a skill, learn from your fourth brother, it's better to be injured than to be injured by the enemy, cough cough!" The prince hurt his arm, I'm afraid I can't do my best, the last time I hunted was three years ago, right? I want to see if your brother grows. ”
The fifth prince, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said quietly: "Actually, Erchen has always had something unclear, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is chasing assassins, how can he approach the assassins one step earlier than the Praetorian Guards who discovered the assassins?" ”
