Chapter 448: Assassination
The techniques of these two assassins were not very prominent, but at the banquet in this Fengxi Palace, no one expected this scene to happen, so they did not take precautions.
In a white powder mist, a cold light flashed, and a sharp dagger stabbed towards Zhao Ling's chest. Jiang Xiaoyu was lying on the ground, and Zhao Ling's eyes were stung by the white powder, not noticing that the danger was approaching.
At the last moment, Zixin, who was next to Zhao Ling, suddenly pounced in front of Zhao Ling, and the dagger with a fierce light stabbed directly into her back.
Zhao Ling opened his eyes slightly, this scene fell in her eyes, his brows furrowed deeply, he took Zixin in his arms, and then kicked away at this moment!
At this moment, the surrounding guards had also rushed over and pressed the two assassins to the ground.
"What's going on?" The Queen Mother shouted.
Zhao Ling squinted his eyes and hugged Zixin in his arms and asked, "Why are you suffering?" ”
Zixin smiled bitterly: "I don't know what's going on with me, when I react, I'm already in front of you, I don't regret it, life and death are like this!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu got up from the ground, and when she saw this situation, she hurriedly stepped forward to check Zixin's pulse, clicked a few of her acupoints, stopped the blood for her, and said in a deep voice: "Find a quiet place, I will pull out the dagger for her!" ”
"Wait!" The Queen Mother hurriedly shouted, "This matter will not be left to the princess, let the imperial doctor do it, come on, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor!" ”
"Let's take her out first!" Jiang Xiaoyu whispered in Zhao Ling's ear.
"Hmm!" Zhao Ling nodded, hugged Zixin and went out first, and several maids hurriedly followed behind.
Jiang Xiaoyu stepped aside, comforting the frightened Zhao Yang'er, while paying attention to the affairs in the center of the hall, I don't know what the identities of these two assassins are, could it be the Queen Mother's instructions? Now that Zixin sacrificed himself to save Zhao Ling, I am afraid that he owes her a great favor, how can this favor be repaid?
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Zhao Yang'er asked in a low voice, "Are you injured?" ”
There were a few places on his arm that were burned by the hot soup and there was a faint pain, but Jiang Xiaoyu didn't have the extra energy to notice these now, and his mind was quickly analyzing the current situation.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly.
"Who are you?" The Queen Mother asked sharply.
The two assassins were pressed to the ground by the guards, raised their eyes and sneered: "We are Yan Shuzhai's people, Zhao Ling forced Mr. Beiming to death, we must find him for revenge!" ”
"Yan Shuzhai?" There was a burst of coldness in the Queen Mother's eyes, "I didn't expect you to infiltrate the inner palace!" ”
"Mr. Beiming has a life-saving grace for us!" The Assassin on the ground gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to avenge her!" Today's defeat is unsuccessful, we have nothing else to say, if we want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”
The queen mother naturally had the ungrateful eldest grandson kite in her heart, and the Yan study founded by the eldest grandson kite was naturally the organization she hated the most, she shouted coldly: "Come on, press it out, and Ling Chi will be executed!" ”
Executed two assassins, such a thing happened, this banquet naturally had no way to continue, and the Queen Mother was worried about Zixin's safety, so she asked everyone to retreat first, and she went to visit her.
Everyone kowtowed and retreated, Jiang Xiaoyu asked the king of Chu to take Zhao Yang'er and Zhao Quan back to the palace of the king of Chu first, and comforted him not to worry about the things here, she and Zhao Ling could handle it, the king of Chu was not very relieved, and let Zhao Qu take his younger brothers and sisters back first, while he stayed and watched the development of things.
"Are you alright?" Princess Jingyun asked as she followed Jiang Xiaoyu's side.
"Nothing!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head gently, "There shouldn't be any big problem!" ”
"I'm afraid this matter will not end well!" Princess Jingyun said worriedly, "You have to be mentally prepared, Zhao Ling is afraid that he will be in a dilemma, you also have to be considerate of him!" ”
"I know what I know!" Jiang Xiaoyu whispered.
"Where we are needed, just send someone out to bring a letter!" Princess Jingyun said.
"Okay, I know!"
Jiang Xiaoyu followed behind the Queen Mother and went to the house where Zixin was healed, Zhao Ling was still accompanying Zixin inside, and the imperial doctor came out with blood and water, hugged his fists and said: "Miss Zixin has injured her blood, the situation is very dangerous, the minister will definitely do her best, please be mentally prepared for the Queen Mother!" ”
"The mourning family knows!" The Queen Mother nodded and said, "You can save people!" ”
"Obey the order!"
Jiang Xiaoyu's brows furrowed slightly, the situation is very dangerous? She just checked Zixin's pulse and looked at the wound, although there was a lot of bleeding, but it was definitely not injured to the point of being critical, this pulling out the dagger is not a very dangerous thing, what does the imperial doctor mean by this?
In the room, Zixin held Zhao Ling's hand tightly, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he smiled lightly: "I don't know if I can survive, if I die, please don't feel guilty for me, I feel very happy to be able to die for you!" If you can, I hope you can stay in a small corner of your heart for me, a small corner! I can miss me once in a while, so I feel that I have no regrets in this life! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll survive!" Zhao Ling said.
"If I survive, I hope you don't feel owed to me!" Zixin said, "I don't have any other extravagant hopes for you, I just hope you can be happy, that's enough!" ”
"Don't talk yet, everything will wait until you recover!" Zhao Ling said, "Now the imperial doctor is going to draw the knife, bear with it!" ”
The imperial doctor stepped forward with the medical equipment and said, "My subordinates will draw a knife for Miss Zixin now, and ask the prince to hold Miss Zixin for a while, so that she doesn't struggle!" ”
Zhao Ling thought for a moment, hugged Zixin, the imperial doctor cut his clothes, and pulled out the dagger with a tool, and the blood suddenly spurted out!
Zixin snorted, bit Zhao Ling's arm at once, and then fainted.
A piece of gauze covered the wound, and the imperial doctor hurriedly treated the wound, and said to Zhao Ling: "The prince can now put down Miss Zixin, the dagger has been pulled out smoothly, and it is no hindrance, the prince can rest assured!" ”
"Several imperial doctors have worked hard!" Zhao Ling got up and clenched his fists and said, then slowly walked out of the room.
The Queen Mother outside waited anxiously and asked, "How is the situation inside?" ”
Zhao Ling said: "The dagger has been successfully pulled out, and now Zixin is no longer in any danger!" ”
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's good, that's good!" ”
She glanced at Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu again, and said, "Since people are no longer in danger, you don't have to stay in the palace, you can go back too!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, she thought that the Queen Mother would take advantage of today's events to make a big fuss, but she didn't expect that she didn't mention a word and let them leave, didn't the Queen Mother want to marry Zixin to Zhao Ling because of this matter?
"Today's events are all because of our husband and wife, disturbing the imperial grandmother's banquet today, and my grandson is really sorry in my heart!" Zhao Ling said with his fists clenched.
"Don't talk about that!" The Queen Mother sighed slightly, "It's okay if people are fine, this is the most important thing!" Okay, you are also frightened, the mourning family just saw that you were also injured, take care of it after you go back, and you don't have to worry about things here! ”
"Little fish retire!"
"Grandson retires!"
Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling walked out of Fengxi Palace side by side, Zhao Ling paused, pulled up Jiang Xiaoyu's sleeves, looked at the few blisters on her hands distressedly, blew lightly, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head lightly and said, "This is just a minor injury, Zixin's is a serious injury!" I just analyzed the situation of this matter, if it weren't for her, even if it was you, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get out, no matter what, she did save you, and we owe her! ”
Zhao Ling hugged Jiang Xiaoyu in his arms: "I will find a way to repay this favor, don't worry!" ”
"I'm afraid this favor won't be how you want to pay it back!" King Chu walked out from the side, his face dark, "Troublesome things are still to come!" ”
"Father's ......"
An unfathomable smile appeared on King Chu's face, and he said, "Wait, the trouble of the two of you is coming soon!" ”
He glanced at Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu, and said, "But don't think about it so much now, go back and deal with your injuries first!" ”
"Yes, Father!"
The three of them returned to the Chu Palace, Jiang Xiaoyu used the medicine powder left by the master to deal with the burns on her and Zhao Ling's bodies, compared to herself, Zhao Ling's injuries were much more serious, and she was distressed and burst into tears: "Fool! Fool! What are you doing, just push me away, why are you in front of me! ”
"The situation was so critical that I didn't think about it that much!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's just a small injury, I don't hurt!" ”
"Last time, Yang Xing took almost the remnants of the secret door, but I didn't expect that there were still a lot of remnants in Yan Shuzhai!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "This time we are indeed careless, it seems that we need to clean it up again, otherwise today's incident may happen again!" ”
"What you say is reasonable, this matter must be investigated again!" Zhao Ling nodded and said.
"What do you mean by what your father said today?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked, "I thought that the Queen Mother would take advantage of today's events to talk about giving you a marriage, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would not say a word, and my father would not say that sentence for no reason, if it was because of Zixin's matter, the only person in this world who can trouble you is afraid that His Majesty is the only one!" Could it be that Your Majesty will not be able to intervene? ”
Zhao Ling sneered: "I won't be surprised if Your Majesty does anything!" ”
