Chapter 52: The Assassin

The treetops couldn't dodge at this moment, and an arrow was shot by a hundred miles of shocking dust!

With a muffled grunt of pain, he rolled from the treetops and fell among the leaves in the forest, causing the fallen leaves to fly!

Just as the assassin wanted to escape, he suddenly looked up and saw that Baili Jingchen was already standing in front of him, holding a cold sword and pointing it straight at his throat!

At that moment, the guards came in from all directions, and they all aimed their spears at the assassin!

Emperor Yuansheng walked in from the outermost layer surrounded by guards, glanced at the assassin, and asked with a cold face, "Say, who sent you?" ”

"Say."

The sword in Baili Shock's hand approached the assassin's throat again, and he said with a cold gaze.

"Yes...... It's the Queen's Mother. ”

The assassin gritted his teeth, glanced at the queen in evasion, and said in acknowledgment.

"Presumptuous! Hugh is talking nonsense! Hongu doesn't know you at all! ”

When the queen heard the assassin's words, her face changed greatly, and she immediately knelt in front of Emperor Yuansheng and scolded the assassin and said!

"Queen Mother, you said that you would keep it small, you can't be untrustworthy......"

The assassin also frowned, and said in a dying struggle!

"You talk nonsense! Hongu has never seen you! ”

"Your Majesty! You have to trust your concubines!! This person, the concubine really doesn't know !! ”

The queen was extremely panicked, pulling Emperor Yuansheng's clothes and begging again and again, and even her voice trembled!

Seeing that Emperor Yuan Sheng's face darkened, he angrily flicked his sleeves and brushed off his clothes, and ordered in a low voice: "Lock up this assassin and the empress together and hand them over to the Zongren Mansion for interrogation." ”

"Yes!"

The guards immediately escorted the two away.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! The concubine is wronged! Wronged!! ”

The Queen's desperate cries echoed not far from the entire hunting ground, knocking on everyone's hearts.

And Hulie Yechi had already ordered the people around him to come up with the best medicine and take medicine for Xuan Zhige.

"How's Miss Xuan?"

Emperor Yuan Sheng looked at Xuan Zhige, who was unconscious, and asked with a frown.

If it weren't for this Xuan Zhige today, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain to Beimeng, and this credit must be credited to her.

"Back to the emperor's words, thanks to the emperor's blessing, although this Xuan girl was shot by an arrow, she did not hurt her internal organs, and now she has pulled out the arrow and the wound has been bandaged. Go back and drink some medicinal soup that invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasis and replenishes qi, and rests for a few more days, and it will definitely get better sooner. ”

Seeing that Emperor Yuan Sheng had spoken, the imperial physician cautiously bowed his head and replied, not daring to hide the slightest.

Emperor Yuansheng saw that Xuan Zhige was fine, so he nodded slowly, and said apologetically to Hulie Yechi: "It was my Yuansheng Dynasty's poor protection that caused the little prince to be frightened again. If this matter is really done by the queen, I will definitely investigate it to the end and give an explanation to the little prince. ”

"Xiao Wang believes that this matter will definitely not be done by the dignified and virtuous queen, and I ask Your Majesty to relax."

Hulie Yechi bowed slowly, and said with regard to the faces of the two countries, but his eyes kept drifting to Xuan Zhige, who had passed out unconscious, with a worried look.

Emperor Yuansheng saw that Hulie Yechi was single-minded, so he also exchanged a few words, then turned around and led the princes back to the palace.

When Baili Shengji wanted to stay to see Xuan Zhige's injury, he was secretly dragged away by Ye Guifei's scolding, and he was never able to stay.

When Baili Jingchen saw Xuan Zhige's injury, he silently stepped forward, and without saying anything, he hugged Xuan Zhige horizontally and was about to walk in the direction of the palace.

But he hadn't taken a few steps before he was stopped in front of him by Hulie Yechi.

I saw that Hulie Yechi glanced at him, and said in a provocative tone: "Third Prince, today's matter, although Xiao Wang lost the third prince to save Xiao Wang's life, if it wasn't for Miss Xuan who stepped forward at that time, I'm afraid there would be nothing to do with you and me." ”

"What do you want to say?"

Baili said expressionlessly.

"Xiao Wang is the prince of Beimeng, and he can give Miss Xuan a better future. Moreover, Xiao Wang has never had such a strange feeling for any woman, she has protected me twice, and my heart has moved. ”

Hulie Yechi said to Baili Jingchen in the most primitive way of declaring war in the grassland man.

"Are you saying that this king does not have the conditions and ability to give her a better future, and wants this king to let her be your wife, right?"

Baili Jingchen was still expressionless, but there was a little more fierce color in his eyes.

"Xiao Wang heard that although the position of the crown prince in your country is vacant, Your Majesty has no intention of the three princes. And Miss Xuan is also a concubine when she enters the mansion. Moreover, you have not rounded up. ”

Hulie Yechi smiled slowly, his gaze sharply falling on Baili Jingchen's body, waiting for his reply.

Unexpectedly, Baili Jingchen just glanced at him coldly, and said slowly: "Let the little prince bother, collect this information and keep your subordinates busy for a long time, right?" As for the identity of the concubine, she will naturally be given a better name in the future. As for the round house, you can go back now. ”

After Baili Jingchen said this, he ignored Hulie Yechi's face, hugged Xuan Zhige horizontally and stepped on a horse, and stepped away with a loud shout!

"It seems that this king has underestimated this prince."

Hulie Yechi looked at the direction of Baili Zhenchen, narrowed his eyes, and said thoughtfully.

"Khan, why do you say that?"

On the side, one of Hulieyechi's capable subordinates asked puzzledly.

But when he saw Hulieye Chiwan'er smiling, he turned around and stepped on his horse, and said slowly: "Do you think he doesn't know how many people this king brought to Kyoto this time?" Do you think the assassin you captured alive just now is who's the person? ”

"A person who can be ruthless to himself is a terrible opponent."

The wind picked up in the hunting grounds, raising sand and dust.

************************************

Outside the prince's mansion on Xishi Street, Mingxiang was anxiously pacing back and forth at the gate of the mansion, constantly looking forward to the carriages and horses outside the mansion.

When she saw Baili Jingchen coming back with Xuan Zhige, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face, and hurriedly greeted her, shouting: "Lord Wang, you can count it back!" ”

But when she saw that Xuan Zhige was unconscious, the worry in her eyes was even more, and she asked hesitantly: "Lord Wang, Miss Xuan, ...... this?" ”

"It's okay, I was hit by an arrow, and it didn't hurt the inside. Just rest for a few days. ”

Baili glanced at her and asked a little strangely, "How did you get the news in the mansion?" ”

Mingxiang hesitated for a moment, and when he asked like this, he said a little embarrassedly: "I don't hide it from the prince, I am just an eyeliner that His Majesty has placed in the palace." If there is any movement in the palace, sometimes I will hear a little. But! Please believe that Ming Xiang has never done anything unfavorable to Miss Xuan since she followed Miss Xuan! ”

"The slave maid has long regarded Miss Xuan as her master, and Your Majesty's side is just a perfunctory errand."

Baili glanced at her, and naturally knew that this girl's words were also a little true, so he said: "Don't talk about anything useless here, go and make the bed for a while, so that she can rest for a while." ”

"Good, good. Mingxiang will go. ”

Ming Xiang learned that Xuan Zhige was fine, and her heart was happy, and her steps were obviously much happier.

By the time Baili Jingchen carried Xuan Zhige into the room, everything was ready.

"Mingxiang, go to the pharmacy to get some good medicinal materials that invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis and replenish qi, and boil some medicinal soup."

Baili Jingchen put Xuan Zhige lightly on the bed, slowly covered the cloud quilt, and saw that the imperial doctor in the palace had not sent the medicine for a long time, so he was a little anxious, so he ordered.

"Yes."

Before Mingxiang ran out of the house, he hit Baili Shengji's body with a "bang!"

"What for? Such reckless, do you understand the rules? ”

Baili Shengji hurriedly tightened the medicine bags in his hands, glanced at Mingxiang, and said scoldingly.

"Damn it! Slaves and maids should be damned! ”

Mingxiang apologized again and again.

"Take the medicine and go down to decoction."

Seeing that she was leaving, Baili Shengji called out to Mingxiang, stuffed two large medicine bags into Mingxiang's hand, and said a little arrogantly.

"Yes. Four princes! ”

Mingxiang didn't dare to stay longer, for fear of being blamed by Baili Shengji, so he took the medicine bag and ran away.

"Fourth brother, why are you here?"

Baili was shocked to see him coming, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly walked to the door to greet Baili Shengji.

"Hey, it's not that my concubine mother is pulling me and not letting me see Miss Xuan's injury! I wanted to stay, but she forcibly pulled me away. Later, I heard that Miss Xuan was fine, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground. ”

"No, Imperial Physician Liu just happened to prescribe a few prescriptions, so I personally went to the Imperial Medical Hall to call, saving you another trip, third brother."

Baili Sheng scratched his head and smiled, and said.

"There is a fourth brother Lao."

Although Baili Jingchen didn't say much, his eyes were already moved.

Among the princes in this palace, only Baili Shengji has the most simple thoughts, and he never looks down on him, which makes him find a lot of comfort in this cool family affection.

"The third brother is polite. Since Miss Xuan is fine, I also delivered this medicine. I'm going to play in West Market Street? If my mother looked for me, she said that I went to the pharmacy to give medicine to Miss Xuan. ”

Baili Shengji was playful, smiled and gave Baili Jingchen a look, and said.

"You. Sooner or later, you will be beaten to death by your mother to remember it for a long time. Go ahead, it's a serious matter to go back to the palace early. ”

Baili Jingchen waved his hand and smiled and motioned for him to go.

"It's still my third brother who is good to me."

Baili Shengji smiled and beat Baili in shock, and then ran away without a trace.

Bei Xuan on the side walked out of the shadows and said hesitantly, "Do you want to send someone to follow some four princes?" ”

"Go ahead. Recently, Chang'an has not been peaceful. It's better to be careful, don't let the fourth prince have an accident. As soon as there is news, remember to report it in time. ”

Baili Jingchen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said with a light sigh.

"Yes."

Beixuan got the order and quickly went to do something.

There was only a hundred miles of dust left in the room, looking at the unconscious Xuan Zhige from afar, a little worry slowly spread in his eyes, and he said softly: "I wanted to make the little prince who didn't know the height of the sky suffer a little, but I didn't expect to hurt you......"

"Maybe that's providence......"

"Shouldn't I thank God for this, so that you can stay in the house for a few more days. It also saves me a lot of worries? ”

His voice was very soft and soft, the height that only he could hear, with helplessness and regret, reluctance and rejoicing, together, slowly fell to the ground and gave birth to flowers.

"Lord Wang, the medicine is here."

In front of the door, Mingxiang was holding a bowl of thick decoction, standing respectfully at the door, and said softly.

"Leave it here. The king came to feed her. ”

Baili Dust glanced at the decoction and said slowly.

"The prince is really good to Miss Xuan. Miss Xuan is blessed. ”

Mingxiang smiled with her eyebrows, very happy for Xuan Zhige, and put the medicine bowl on the corner of the table.

"Hopefully, she thinks the same way as yours."

Baili Jingchen said with a slight smile.

"It must be. I saw that Miss Xuan's eyes were full of sparkle when she looked at the prince. ”

Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Oh? Is it? ”

A rare heartfelt smile appeared on Baili's shocked face.
