Chapter 300: The prince chooses a concubine
He Jingjing began to despair, why did she always encounter such an unexpected situation every time she came out?
He Jingjing had been attacked by bandits before, and those bandits would immediately stare at the luggage and gold, silver and jewelry brought by the people in the carriage, but today the target of these masked men was very clear.
They just want to kill all the guards, who sent them?
He Jingjing's first thought was Concubine Yan, but now there is no evidence, and maybe this time the emperor called himself to the capital, and also blocked the way of others.
"Defend the county lord to the death!" shouted the leader of the guards, and the wounded guards gradually shrank into a circle and surrounded the carriage.
"County Lord, we will fight a bloody path for you in a while, and you leave quickly with your father-in-law. The man had already said to He Jingjing with the determination to die.
He Jingjing's nose was sour, no one was born to give their lives to others, they were willing to sacrifice their lives for their duties, He Jingjing was really moved and admired.
"Take care. He Jingjing solemnly hugged her fists at the leader of the guards and said.
Just when the leader of the guards had already decided to die with the thieves, there were sudden earth-shattering shouts from the mountains on both sides of the canyon.
"Kill!" A bunch of people rushed down from the mountain, and despair flashed in He Jingjing's eyes.
It's over, now more people are here, and I'm really going to die here this time.
"County Lord, let's run, I don't want to die yet. The father-in-law looked flustered, and said to He Jingjing in a slightly pleading tone.
"Can we run away now?" He Jingjing sat paralyzed in the carriage, listening to the sound of the earth-shattering battle outside.
After a while, the voices stopped, and a pair of large hands lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Come on, kill or chop you up. He Jingjing stretched out her neck and said with her eyes closed.
The man froze visibly, then chuckled.
Hearing the laughter, He Jingjing opened her eyes, and what caught her eye was a face with a very terrifying ghost mask.
"Are you?" He Jingjing saw that the other party did not have any malicious intent, and asked directly.
The man did not answer He Jingjing, but stretched out his hand, and He Jingjing took the other party's hand and got out of the carriage.
"Lord of the county, we are all still alive, they saved us. The leader of the guards grinned and said to He Jingjing with a dirty face.
He Jingjing hugged her fist at the ghost masked man.
"Thank you for the chivalrous rescue, can you leave your name, so that I can repay you in the future. ”
The man didn't pay attention to He Jingjing, but took his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and left cleanly, and when he left, He Jingjing saw a familiar thing in that person.
He Jingjing was relieved, glanced back at the direction where the ghost-faced man had left, returned to the carriage, and began to prepare to return to the capital.
Seeing He Jingjing's convoy go away, a smile appeared on the corner of the ghost-faced man's mouth.
After what had just happened, He Jingjing's convoy moved at the fastest speed, and did not dare to stop for a moment to continue on the road, after all, no one could guarantee that there would be a second attack like that.
After coming to the capital, the emperor's people had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, and He Jingjing got into the royal carriage as soon as he got out of the carriage and came to the door of the upper study.
"See the Emperor. He Jingjing saluted to the emperor.
The emperor put down the official document in his hand, dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids, and let He Jingjing sit down.
"It's been a hard journey. The emperor specially greeted He Jingjing, and He Jingjing sighed.
"Why sigh?" Seeing He Jingjing's sad face, the emperor asked curiously, He Jingjing was about to say something, but the words came to his lips and went back.
It's useless to say this kind of thing, after all, it was the emperor who summoned him, and he couldn't ask the emperor why he didn't send more people to protect him, right?
"It's nothing, Your Majesty, what's the matter with me coming to me this time, the father-in-law who heard the order said that the matter is very urgent. He Jingjing said to the emperor with a worried face.
Anyway, the other party is the emperor after all, and the emperor's sorrows should also be worried.
"What I said next, you never heard it since you went out. The emperor lowered his voice and said mysteriously to He Jingjing.
He Jingjing sat up straight, and her ears turned sideways in the direction of the emperor.
"This time I'm here mainly to let you know one thing. "The emperor sold a pass.
"What's the matter?" He Jingjing's body turned to the side in the direction of the emperor again.
"The main thing is to let you participate in the concubine selection ceremony, and you give my son a staff officer from the perspective of the imperial sister. After the emperor finished speaking, he touched his beard with a smile.
After He Jingjing heard this reason, she saw that the emperor was smiling so happily that she almost turned her back on it.
For such a broken reason, he hurried to hurry day and night, and almost took his own life on the road.
"Just for this, I ran hundreds of miles to hurry up, this is what you said urgently?" He Jingjing looked at the emperor with an incredulous expression and said.
"Yes, isn't this matter urgent?" the emperor asked He Jingjing seriously with a frown.
"Do you know that I almost ...... in order to participate in this concubine selection ceremony," He Jingjing said here, realizing that there was something wrong with her attitude.
Although the emperor has always been very tolerant of himself, the other party is always the emperor, and he is just a small county lord, without any position and strength to quarrel with the emperor.
All his current status is given by the emperor, and if he really annoys the emperor, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Last time, he and Ye Haixuan had already stepped on the tiger's tail when they left secretly, and the He family was in the capital this time, and they didn't want to offend the emperor.
"Almost what?" asked the emperor looking at the irritable He Jingjing with interest.
can make this little girl angry like this, the emperor feels very comfortable.
"It's nothing, I'll do whatever you tell me to do, and I'll do it. He Jingjing immediately lowered her eyebrows and followed the emperor's words.
Seeing He Jingjing like this, the emperor suddenly felt more interested, it seems that He Jingjing has really grown a lot.
"If it's okay, I'll go first. He Jingjing saw that the emperor didn't have anything to continue to explain, and she was so flustered in the study that He Jingjing couldn't wait to leave immediately.
"There you go. "The emperor still has something to deal with, and he doesn't plan to keep He Jingjing.
Looking at He Jingjing's departing back, the emperor's grinning face immediately became serious, and this cold color flashed slightly in his eyes, like a domineering monarch.
