Hearing Mrs. Lin's question, Lin Qingwan didn't know how to answer, and secretly glanced at Xiao Muning, "The situation was urgent just now, and the prince saw that his daughter was thinly dressed, so he gave me his cloak." ”

Xiao Muning stood aside with a serious expression and did not speak.

Lin Xiang and his wife saw the reaction of the two of them, although they didn't ask deeply, they had some guesses in their hearts.

Ruoying was not idle on the side, snickering in his heart, this summer, who would have nothing to do to go out and put on a cloak, just saw that the princess-to-be had wet hair, and it was clear that she had just taken a bath, so when did their prince go in? What have you done?

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lin Qingwan took Zizhu to the corner to find Xiao Tan, "Xiao Tan, it's okay, come out!" ”

Xiao Tan was very frightened this time, and rushed over to hug Lin Qingwan and sobbed, "Miss, the slave is scared!"

Lin Qingwan patted her on the back and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I and Zizhu are here!" Don't cry, it's all over! ”

The hidden guards were cleaning up the corpses at the scene, at this time Lin Qingwan's courtyard was filled with a strong smell of blood, Xiao Muning looked around, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, he turned his head and said to Lin Xiang, "Today's matter is not trivial, openly assassinating the family members of heavy ministers and the future princess of this king, you can't just forget it, Lin Xiangke has objections!" ”

The enemy is so rampant, the poison last time failed, this time it has intensified the blatant assassination, Lin Xiang couldn't swallow this breath, and arched his hand and said, "The minister and the prince will advance and retreat together, and we will discuss the specific matters in the study in detail!" ”

Xiao Muning nodded, "Ruoying! Now that there is chaos in the Prime Minister's Mansion, arrange for the county lord of Qingwan to go to the east courtyard to rest, you don't have to follow me for a while, you can bring someone to protect the county lord!"

Mrs. Lin felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to take her daughter back to her yard, but she was about to open her mouth to refuse but was stopped by Lin Xiang, "What the prince said is right, in case another batch of assassins comes, only the prince has the strength to protect Wan'er." Rest assured! ”

After speaking, he went to Lin Xiang's study one after the other.

Lin Qingwan's courtyard really can't be inhabited, so she can only take Xiao Tan and Zizhu to obey Xiao Muning's arrangement, and she goes back to the room to get her pillow and thin quilt out.

Ruoying was a little surprised when she saw it, "County Lord, there are all these in the East Courtyard, what are you taking it for?" ”

Zizhu asked angrily, "Our young lady is also a daughter's family, do you want her to use your prince's bedding?" ”

This is the first time Lin Qingwan has seen Zizhu angry, and he was also shocked, this is like the usually taciturn Zizhu.

Ruoying then understood, and hurriedly apologized, "The county lord forgives the sin, Ruoying has been with the prince all the year round, fighting on the battlefield with the soldiers, and for a while he forgot that there is a difference between men and women!" I hope the county lord will forgive me! ”

Lin Qingwan knew that Zizhu was afraid that she would be despised by others, so she spoke fiercely, she didn't want to chill Zizhu's protector's heart, but also knew that Ruoying really didn't mean that, and said compromisedly, "It's not easy for the prince to return to Beijing, as his cronies, you should pay more attention to these." Naturally, I won't pursue it, but out of this mansion, how many pairs of eyes are staring at your lord, and please ask the shadow guards to know in their hearts. ”

These few words spoke to Ruoying's heart, "Subordinate Xie County Lord Haihan!" ”

Ruoying sent Lin Qingwan to the East Courtyard all the way, arranged the room, and took people to guard outside.

For tonight's incident, Zizhu blamed herself very much, blaming herself for not being good at martial arts and failing to protect Miss. She found something unusual, and it was also because His Royal Highness King Ning deliberately knocked over the tea bowl. When she rushed out of the room, she saw that her young lady was taken by the prince and flew onto the roof, and she knew that the prince had been in her young lady's room for a long time, and she didn't know it at all.

Lin Qingwan made the bed alone, and her mother sent someone to bring some freshly cooked soothing soup. Xiao Tan sat on the soft collapse, still looking frightened, she took a bowl and handed it to Xiao Tan to suppress her shock.

She glanced at Zizhu, who was standing in the corner of the wall with her head down, and shouted softly, "Zizhu! Come and have a bowl of soothing soup! ”

Zizhu walked over slowly, knelt in front of Lin Qingwan with a plop, and cried and said, "Miss, my subordinates are incompetent and have failed to protect Miss thoroughly, please punish Miss for it!" ”

Lin Qingwan hurriedly put down the soup bowl and wanted to help Zizhu get up, but she didn't get up, "Zizhu, what are you doing here!" It's not your fault. ”

"No, miss! If it weren't for the presence of the prince today, Miss's life would really be worried! Subordinates damn it, they don't even know that there are people in the courtyard. Zizhu wiped the tears from her face.

Ruoying heard the conversation in the house outside the door, and couldn't help but sink his heart, it seems that the prince is still crooked in the middle of the night and has done a good thing.

"The prince is a perennial battler, and tonight's assassins are all dead, and it is normal for martial arts to be high. And how old you are, I believe that in time your martial arts will be very powerful! Besides, there are so many assassins, I'm glad you didn't find out so much at the time, otherwise you would have confessed your life if you came out rashly! After Lin Qingwan finished speaking, he picked up Zizhu, who was stunned.

"Miss, my subordinates are guards, and I didn't do my duty today!"

Lin Qingwan shook his head and held Zizhu's shoulders with both hands, "Zizhu, you remember, everyone is equal and has the right to live, Xiao Tan and you are no exception!" So don't blame yourself, if any of you and Xiao Tan sacrifice themselves to save me today, I will be very sad and indebted! ”

"Miss!" Zizhu hugged Lin Qingwan and cried.

Lin Qingwan gently touched Zizhu's head, "Cry out!" I see you've been holding back for a long time! Zizhu, you're very powerful today! I saw it all on the rooftop! ”

The guards at the door looked at each other, but they didn't expect the future princess to be so lenient and benevolent at a young age, and she was not afraid of danger, calm and calm, and it was a good thing to think about it if there was such a princess in the palace in the future.

In the study, Xiao Muning stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his face was gloomy, and he said in a cold tone, "This king just returned to Beijing on the second day, and such a thing happened, it is clear that this king is a dismount, if this king endures it at this time, what face will he have in Beijing in the future!" ”

Lin Xiang said, "What the prince said is extremely true! I wonder what the prince has planned? ”

Xiao Muning turned around and thought as he paced, "The hidden guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion can't be exposed, so let's just say that this king and the guards killed the assassin together and saved the county lord." Tomorrow morning, he will directly carry the corpse away and let his father decide. ”

Lin Xiang felt that it was feasible and continued to ask, "The old minister saw that the assassin's clothes and weapons were all from the Northern Han Kingdom. Does the prince have any suspicions? ”

"People who are not from the Northern Han can fake their clothes and weapons, but they can't make martial arts moves! It's our own people who do it! ”

Lin Xiang nodded, at first he thought that the Northern Han Kingdom had suffered a defeat and was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, it seemed that he was too worried.

He bowed, "Thank you for saving the little girl today, the old minister wants to give you a gift in order to repay the prince's great kindness, I don't know if the prince is willing!" ”

Xiao Muning was puzzled, "Xiangye, please speak!" ”

"When the prince first returned to the capital, he couldn't stay idle, and returning to the court as soon as possible was the right way. The prince must not underestimate the patrol in Beijing, if he can take on this important responsibility, he will not be able to hide the big and small affairs in Beijing from the eyes of the prince in the future! Lin Xiang said respectfully.

Xiao Muning only thought about how to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and put an end to this kind of assassination, and he didn't think about it at such a deep level.

I can't help but secretly admire Lin Xiang's far-sighted overall situation and political skills, it seems that the position of prime minister is not something that anyone can sit on casually.

Xiao Muning returned the salute, "If it happens, it's naturally good!" If it doesn't work, I hope Xiangye won't expose himself too early and be alone! ”

"Don't worry, the minister will come up with a foolproof plan. The prince just needs to wait for the good news! ”

"This king has thanked me in advance!"

Back in the east courtyard, Xiao Muning came to the door of Lin Qingwan's house, and Ruoying greeted him, "Lord Wang, the county lord has rested!" Today's subordinates lost their words, please punish the prince! ”

Xiao Muning looked at him and motioned for him to explain the situation himself.

Ruoying told the matter from beginning to end, Xiao Muning knew that Lin Qingwan was different, but at this age, he could be so far-sighted, and if he has a father, he must have a daughter, and that is really right, "Did she really say that?" ”

"Yes!" Wakakage bowed her head and replied.

Xiao Muning smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Since the county lord has already preached for this king, then this king will no longer pursue it, you can reflect on it!" Arrange for her to stay in the East Courtyard! With that, he turned and left.

The prince didn't pursue it, and the guards all wondered, this is not like the prince's usual strict style.

So much happened today that Xiao Muning felt a little dramatic when he recalled the experience of this day!

Compared with the border battlefield, it is better than the capital, although it is full of dangers and blessings and misfortunes, but at least it is wonderful and interesting!

But when he thought of Lin Qingwan, Xiao Muning always felt a little unbearable. A good girl, born in an ordinary family, is the most innocent age, but she is walking on thin ice!
