Chapter Twenty-Four: The Aftermath
Looking at her with a handful of snot and tears, Yun Mengchen had no expression on her face, and sat quietly beside her like this. When she was tired of crying, Qi Xiao came back. He was very surprised to see Yan Jiaxin on the ground, what surprised him was not that she was crying, but that she was still alive!
This is the first ever surviving Princess Chen, he can't tell what it feels like in his heart, he looked at Yun Mengchen who was sitting on the side, presumably the prince of his family had never expected this situation, looking at his expression at the moment, it seemed that he didn't know what to do with this crying person.
"Lord Wang, this..."Qi Xiao looked at Yan Jiaxin and asked. He had been in the room before he came, and the whole room had been shot into a sieve by arrows, and all the way to the ground, there were arrows all over the walls, and he didn't know how she survived, and she didn't look hurt at all? Qi Xiao is a little square...
Also a little square is Yun Mengchen, she can survive, his accident is not too big, now what should give him a headache is how to settle this person. In the past, their families had been notified of their funerals at this time, but now...
Looking at Yan Jiaxin, who was still sobbing in front of her, she was tired of crying, or she was frightened, except for the occasional sobbing, she didn't continue to cry. "Qi Xiao, arrange for Yueru to serve her, and clean up the west wing of the inner courtyard for her to live in."
Qi Xiao nodded: "What about you, Lord Wang?" "The room has become like that, I'm afraid it will take a few days to repair before I can live again, and his prince doesn't like to live in other rooms, I'm afraid that this time it will be a little troublesome.
"Study." Two words indicate all.
"Yun Mengchen, is your family very poor?" Yan Jiaxin suddenly spoke. She had heard that he was not treated well in Yongling Kingdom, but she didn't expect to be so downcast, and it was really pitiful!
“......”
“......”
Two inexplicable glances looked at her.
"Why did the princess ask such a question?" Qi Xiao looked at her. said that the prince of his family was poor, and he didn't know who settled the accounts of nearly a thousand shops in the entire Yongling City for her last time, which was millions of taels!
Yan Jiaxin relieved her breath and looked at the two of them: "I just escaped from the room, there is not a single maid, isn't the prince generally very rich, and there are many housekeepers and guards at home, but the palace of Chen Wang doesn't seem to be like this." ”
Looking at her aggrieved appearance, Yun Mengchen raised her eyebrows: "What, let you down?" It's a pity that you have already married this king, a depressed prince, and it is too late to regret it. After Yun Mengchen finished speaking, he looked in a good mood, turned around and slid towards the direction of the study.
Yan Jiaxin Nunu immediately looked around the black press, and always felt that the danger had not dissipated, so she quickly stood up and patted her ass and ran towards Yun Mengchen, but Qi Xiao consciously let go of the position behind Yun Mengchen.
Yan Jiaxin subconsciously pushed Yun Mengchen away: "Actually, there is nothing to regret, just don't be so dangerous, there are assassinations or something from time to time, don't let those maids and guards don't do it." ”
Originally, she was a modern person, and she had long lost that concept of servitude, in her heart, even if she was the lowest-ranking slave in their eyes, everyone was equal, not to mention that she didn't need to be served with good hands and feet.
"Princess, please rest assured, it's still quite safe in the palace usually, just pay attention." Qi Xiao gave Yan Jiaxin a reassuring pill.
But Yan Jiaxin didn't believe it, if he said this before, she might have believed it, but after what happened in King Chen's Mansion in the past two days, her danger factor here is a full score! One less point is sorry for the sharp arrows that passed by her.
"Rest early, the palace will be safe in the future, don't worry." Yun Mengchen's magnetic and beautiful voice came, pulling Yan Jiaxin's thoughts back, and it seemed that there was a kind of centering magic, which actually gave her the illusion that there would really be no more danger. Only then did she realize that they had arrived outside a room.
"Won't you go in, lord?" The ghost made the gods, Yan Jiaxin blurted out such a sentence, and after reacting, she almost wanted to bite off her tongue. What kind of words is this, she's a topic terminator!
Yun Mengchen was fortunately facing away from her, and Yan Jiaxin didn't see the unnatural look on his face at this moment: "Ahem, this king still has something to do, so let's go first." After saying that, he turned his wheelchair and slid towards the study next door as usual.
Yan Jiaxin didn't dare to stay long in the night breeze, the shadow just now was still hovering around her, looking at the two guards guarding outside the door, Yan Jiaxin said hard work to the two of them and walked in.
"Lord Wang, I have already helped you tidy up a side room, why don't you go and rest as well."
"This king is not tired." When I came to the window, I could faintly see the corner of the west wing where Yan Jiaxin was at this time: "Qi Xiao, if you spend it safely tonight, she is still there, what do you think of this matter?" ”
"Qi Xiao doesn't know whether it's good or bad, but one thing Qi Xiao knows is that the palace will set off turbulent waves because of this, and I'm afraid that the prince's troubles will be even more at that time!"
After a long silence, the aggrieved little face just now appeared in my mind again. Looking out the window, the bright starry eyes moved slightly, and sighed helplessly: "Yes, it's really a big trouble." ”
His thoughts turned back: "Did those people catch them just now, whether they missed this time or some other reason, this matter must be thoroughly investigated." ”
"Yes, Qi Xiao understands, and Qi Xiao also wants to know how this princess escaped under that situation at that time. This time, they actually broke into the backyard of the palace, and the time of action was much earlier, and there was really no one in the backyard. ”
"And don't you think it's strange, Lord Wang, this time, there is obviously only one person, not for you, it seems to be for the princess, and as soon as she came, she found the location of the princess, and it was better to find it in other rooms in the past, after all, the first eleven times were in that room."
"But this time, the prince specially changed to your room, and as soon as those people came, they went straight to that room, the prince..." The more Qi Xiao spoke, the more serious his expression became, and he didn't dare to speculate in front of his family's prince, so he could only wait for Yun Mengchen's instructions. Not many people know about this.
Yun Mengchen closed his eyes lightly, and then opened them: "Has the person who was hidden by the assassin today been found?" ”
"Nope."
Predictable.
"Lord Wang, but Qi Xiao compared the list details of each guest, and found that he and the prince only came over, and the person who arrived didn't stay long before leaving the palace, and the rest was nothing abnormal."
"And the Prince?" Hearing this, Yun Mengchen's eyebrows frowned slightly.
"That's right, lord, isn't this the prince's younger brother of the queen, maybe the queen asked him to congratulate the prince on behalf of the emperor."
Yun Mengchen raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, it seemed that his troubles had begun to come to him. "I know, you go down first, you have to strengthen your vigilance tonight, if you don't succeed, they won't give up!"
"Yes, please rest assured, Qi Xiao will retire!"
Qi Xiao went out, the door was closed, and Yun Mengchen's face was stained with a layer of frost, and his forbearance all the time was exchanged for these people's inches. The starry eyes drooped, and all emotions were hidden in the night like the night outside the window.
Yan Jiaxin thought that after the catastrophe that had just passed the life-and-death catastrophe, she would be able to sleep well, but she didn't think about it, her ass had just gotten into bed, and there was a lot of movement outside.
As if reflexively, he jumped up from the bed and pulled the door open: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Are the Assassins back? Yan Jiaxin rushed out and asked in surprise.
"Princess, please rest assured to go back to the room to rest, there are Qi guards outside, you are safe here." The two guards outside replied to her words with a calm face.
"Safe ball!" Yan Jiaxin crossed her waist and looked in the direction where the sound of fighting was coming from outside, and frowned.
“......”
It doesn't matter so much, Qi Xiao is outside, isn't Yun Mengchen alone in the study, how can he escape from a person with inconvenient legs and feet? Thinking of this, Yan Jiaxin went straight to the study.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he saw Yun Mengchen opening the door from the inside, he saw a trace of surprise in Yan Jiaxin's eyes, he didn't understand why she suddenly appeared here, he thought she would shrink in fear and tremble in a corner of the room.
"I'll just say that you, the prince, are too poor, the palace where the assassins are constantly assassinated doesn't even have a guard to guard you, and you have to ask me, a weak woman who is powerless, to rescue you..."
“...... Where are you going to push me? Yun Mengchen looked at Yan Jiaxin and pushed him out of the study. For the words she just muttered, his cold and resolute expression softened slightly.
"Don't say it, just come with me." Yan Jiaxin pushed him and ran quickly towards the room she was just in. Because in her opinion, this unguarded study is not as safe as the room guarded by two people she just now!
"Lord, princess!" Two guards saluted them both.
Yun Mengchen didn't say anything, and let her push it. Yan Jiaxin looked at the two people when the door was closed: "Hey, you two, if the assassin comes over in a while, pay attention, those people's arrows are called a fast and accurate ruthless, don't fight hard at the critical moment, your life is important, do you understand?" ”
The two guards listened to Yan Jiaxin's words, and although they wanted to laugh, they were still moved: "Lord and Princess, please rest assured, the little one swears to protect the safety of the Lord and Princess to the death!" ”
"....." Yan Jiaxin looked at the two of them: "I'm talking about running for your life, not swearing to die!" ”
The two guards didn't dare to answer, and they both glanced at Yun Mengchen behind Yan Jiaxin. Yun Mengchen raised his hand to signal, and the two of them were ordered to stand outside the door like door gods.
