Chapter 8: The Imperial City Changes!

"Too ...... The Crown Princess? ”

Li Hong suddenly had an urge to run away, although he had accepted this body, but for the crown princess Pei, Li Hong always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he didn't dare to face her.

Because even if Li Hong pretends to be similar, he is just an imposter after all, Pei and the original owner are a couple who share the same bed, how can they not notice it, not to mention that Li Hong can accept the identity of the original owner, but Pei has no feelings for him, and Li Hong can't imagine how he can spend his life with her.

So since Li Hong woke up, he has been deliberately avoiding this topic, and even when he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, he didn't dare to go in, but he couldn't hide from it after all, Li Hong smiled bitterly, and looked up in the direction of the little girl's slender fingers.

I saw a palace beauty walking quickly, presumably it was the crown princess Pei, Pei was followed by a group of maids, and she was also out of breath.

Pei Shi was dressed in a cyan dress, with a simple golden hairpin tied on his black bun, and in addition, there was no other jewelry on his body, and a pair of clear eyes were full of joy, and he walked quickly in front of Li Hong.

"The concubine welcomes His Highness back to the palace!"

"Uh...... That, the crown princess, no, love the concubine...... Anyway, you can calm down! ”

Looking at Pei's dusty body, Li Hong seemed a little at a loss, and changed several titles in a row, but he felt that it was inappropriate, called the crown princess? Does the two husbands and wives seem too separated, called Aifei? No, that's what the emperor called the harem concubine, Li Hong scratched his head, and really couldn't find a suitable title, so he had to vaguely go over and reach out to help Pei up.

"Puff ......"

Seeing Li Hong's embarrassed appearance, the maids behind Pei's couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, and the little girl Qian'er couldn't hold back her laughter all of a sudden.

"Your Highness, you used to call Niangniang's maiden name......

The little girl reminded softly behind Li Hong.

Boudoir name? Li Hong's face changed, damn it, how could he know what Pei's boudoir name was, this dead ghost Li Hong, who left an incomplete memory, made himself so embarrassed.

"Uh...... This, that...... Huh"

Li Hong smiled dryly, but he didn't know what to say to Pei's family, so he had to say vaguely.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? The concubine heard that His Royal Highness had been assassinated in Dongdu, but she was injured, why didn't she take good care of herself in Dongdu, so she rushed back to Chang'an so urgently. ”

Pei Shi helped Li Hong, his eyes were a little anxious, and he asked with a worried face, seeing that Li Hong was at a loss, Pei's eyes flashed with tears, and his voice was lowered.

"The concubine's surname is Pei, the small character Wanying, Your Highness, don't you remember."

"Ah, Wanying, of course Lone remembers, of course she remembers! Ahem......"

Li Hong snorted, and sweat was already showing on his forehead.

"Qian'er! What's going on, that's how you take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

Seeing that Li Hong was so strange, Pei Shi shouted at the little girl behind Li Hong, Xu was too worried, Pei Shi's tone was unconsciously a little harsh.

"Mother, slave...... Slave ......"

Qian'er was Pei's dowry girl, and with Pei's prestige in charge of the East Palace, the little girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, with a little grievance, but she couldn't speak.

"Wanying, this matter has nothing to do with Qian'er, don't embarrass her, let's go back first!"

Li Hong has always spoiled Qian'er, a girl, and when she saw Pei's reprimanding her, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart, but in front of people, it was difficult to say it clearly, and her tone couldn't help but be cold.

"The concubine is speechless,"

Hearing Li Hong defend Qian'er like this, Pei Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"The concubine just saw His Highness's strange behavior, and she was in a hurry, so please forgive Your Highness."

Li Hong was still a little angry, turned around and walked in the direction of the East Palace, after all, for Li Hong, the little girl had been with him for more than a month, but Pei's was the first time they met, so they couldn't help but be a little close.

Pei Shi watched Li Hong leave angrily, she was a little puzzled and a little aggrieved, she just scolded a girl for a few words, she didn't expect Li Hong to be so angry, but then Pei Shi quickly followed.

Li Hong walked in front and gradually calmed down, feeling a little guilty in his heart, whether he had gone too far just now.

Recalling the scene just now, Pei Shi was dressed in a simple green coat, his hair was still a little messy, only a golden hairpin tied with his hair, and there was no other jewelry on his body.

He thought it was because Pei Shi didn't like luxury, but now that he thinks about it, what is the question of luxury or not, Pei Shi is obviously already asleep, and he hurried when he heard the news that he was back.

Besides, Pei Shi didn't do anything excessive just now, but just reprimanded the little girl, and his reaction was really a bit excessive.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Hong felt a little uneasy in his heart, and turned around to go back, but saw Pei Shi hurrying up, and Li Hong was about to speak with apologies.

"Wanying ......"

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Li Hong saw Pei Shi pointing behind him, his autumn-like eyes were round, his voice became a little sharp because of extreme nervousness, and he just wanted to turn around to check, but he felt a burst of force to push himself away, Li Hong was caught off guard and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

turned around and saw Pei Shi standing in front of him, his cyan dress was already stained red with blood, and his body collapsed backwards softly.

Li Hongdeng's eyes were split, guilty, angry, powerless, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart.

"Wanying!"

Li Hong screamed, jumped up from the ground, and caught Pei's collapsed body, only to see a small dagger in the assassin's hand, the dagger had been stained red with blood, and the half-cut blade shone with a terrifying cold light in the clear moonlight.

Pei's face was pale, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and he felt that Li Hong was holding her safely, showing a smile of relief, but he immediately remembered something, and his white jade arm pushed Li Hong's body weakly.

"Your Highness...... Fast...... Come on! No...... Don't worry about concubines! ”

"Someone! There are assassins! ”

Li Hong hugged Pei Shi and shouted, the assassin saw that the blow missed, and stabbed at Li Hong with a knife, Li Hong subconsciously stretched out his arm to block, but suddenly a sword appeared, and the dagger flew away.

"Protect Your Highness!"

It turned out that several of Li Hong's guards heard Pei's shouts and hurried to save Li Hong from his hands at this moment.

The head of the personal guard is named Cheng Wu, who is a master of the forbidden army specially deployed by Li Zhi to protect Li Hong, I saw that he picked up the dagger in the assassin's hand, and stabbed the opponent's heart with a sword with his backhand, the assassin dodged, and his right arm was stabbed by Cheng Wu fiercely, and then fled.

Cheng Wu glanced at the blood stains on the ground and was worried about Li Hong's injuries, so he did not continue the pursuit, and knelt down in front of Li Hong.

"It's too late to save the driver, please forgive your Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Hong didn't seem to hear it, but just hugged Pei's and shouted anxiously, because he saw that Pei's arm was already hanging down weakly.

"Wanying! Wanying! ”

But no matter how Li Hong shouted, Pei Shi did not have the slightest reaction, and at that moment Li Hong had a gloomy face, picked up the unconscious Pei Shi, turned to the guards and ordered.

"You should rush back to the East Palace now, go and ask the imperial doctor to come over, if the crown princess has any mistakes, you will fight for the position of the prince, and you will also make these bold things pay the price! In addition, I went to invite Dai Xiang and Master Zhang to the East Palace overnight! ”
