Chapter 231: Broken Branches (23)
The two of them were worried about what to do with the fainted man in the room, and they were worried that the man would wake up all the time, so they first hid the man in the cupboard, holding a stool in his hand, and waited for him to give him if he woke up.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and the two turned their heads in unison, and found that it was Ling Xiqian, Xi Gu'an breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
After seeing the scene in the room clearly, Ling Xiqian glanced at the people behind him warningly, and several guards all retracted their necks and didn't dare to look at it again.
"How's it going, are you hurt?" Unexpectedly, the reason for Ling Xiqian's ugly face was not because of the situation inside the house, but because he was angry, but because of Xi Gu'an's problem.
Xi Guan shook his head: "It's okay, fortunately, this incident happened earlier, it's this person ......"
Ling Xiqian's eyes were cold, this was even more ugly than when he found out about the assassination just now.
He asked coldly, "What's going on?" ”
Mu Zhi's body shook, and her face turned pale - she thought that His Royal Highness had criticized the actions of the two of them, thinking that she and the young lady had angered the iron-faced god as soon as they entered the mansion, and her face became ugly for a moment.
However, when she raised her head, she found that the prince was looking in the direction that was obviously the location of the door behind him, and as his voice fell, a man in black knelt on the ground.
Ling Xiqian's voice was a little angry: "What have I confessed? Keep the princess safe at all times, don't you even obey my orders? ”
God knows how ruthless those people's methods are, and this man in black is also sent by those people. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of abuse Xi Gu'an would suffer if he was robbed by this gang of people without a little vigilance.
Fifteen knelt on the ground and didn't dare to defend, but he was still a little aggrieved in his heart: "The matter is related to the life and safety of the prince, and Fifteen doesn't dare to slack off." ”
Xi Gu'an was a little depressed, he didn't expect Ling Xiqian's subordinates behind him to be so stupid and loyal, and they also had a very individual appearance. However, on the contrary, he could also feel the unique charm from Ling Xiqian, belonging to a high-ranking person, and being able to reach such a point showed that this high-level soul was indeed doing well.
A huge storm was brewing in Ling Xiqian's eyes, and he was obviously angry. Seeing that the surrounding atmosphere was not right, Xi Guan immediately interrupted the dangerous atmosphere.
"It doesn't matter, in fact, this is what I ordered, after all, there are more rules in the new house, and it is unlucky to provoke any rules. Today is a special day, let them go to the Joy Bar. ”
After saying this, the cold atmosphere around him finally eased, and Ling Xiqian turned his head to see Xi Gu'an winking at him.
He also knew that this was just nonsense on the part of the other party, just to calm things down. Although he was angry, he obviously knew that now was not a good time to dwell on this matter, so he could only wave his hand and make them all retreat.
Fifteen was obviously still a little entangled, and said: "Lord Wang, the current situation is uncertain, and there may still be dangers, but we are still ......"
Ling Xiqian directly interrupted him: "No, it's okay to have me here, you all step down." After thinking about it, he added, "You go and check on tonight's affairs, especially from the third prince." ”
Fifteen was a little stunned, and asked puzzledly: "However, it is clear that the third prince is very attracted to His Royal Highness, but it is the prince's side that ......."
Ling Xiqian shook his head: "I have my own opinions on this matter, and you just do it." ”
Now that it has come to this point, several guards naturally did not dare to question it and left one after another.
With this farce, the others did not dare to continue the wedding ceremony below, and the backyard became extremely quiet, and no one dared to touch the anger of the prince.
Seeing this situation, Xi Gu'an also asked Mu Zhi to retreat, leaving her and Ling Xiqian alone. Mu Zhi was a little worried about the safety of his young lady and wanted to stay, but now that the young lady had married into King Ning's mansion, the current master was naturally Lord Ma Ningwang, so she naturally didn't dare to disobey.
When there were only two people in the room, Xi Guan was inexplicably a little nervous, although she had experienced so many worlds, had weddings and commitments, but for the first time she got married so seriously, she was still a little nervous in her heart.
Ling Xiqian took his hand and sat on the edge of the bed, obviously a little silent.
Seeing this, Xi Guan also learned something, and asked: "Is it this assassination incident, does anyone want to frame him?" ”
Ling Xiqian nodded, but didn't explain much, but asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
If Xi Gu'an, who was first reported, would naturally be afraid, but after experiencing the Western Fantasy World, this kind of assassination incident was already annoying in her heart. But now she is still a young lady who does not go out of the door, so she will naturally feel scared. Just go and listen to the book
"It's okay, but I'm sure Your Highness will protect me."
Ling Xiqian sighed, and the sadness on his face did not dissipate a little: "It's that I'm not strong enough now, and I can't protect you well." ”
In every previous world, Ling Xiqian was omnipotent, without any pressure and helplessness, but at the beginning of this world, Ling Xiqian already had flaws, and he had been setting up countless opponents in the court, obviously the two assassinations were planned and purposeful, just to be able to kill Ling Xiqian completely.
Ling Xiqian said: "There are many people involved in this matter, I may have to go out tomorrow, and I probably won't come back for a few days, I will send you to another hospital, and you will come back in a few days." ”
After hearing this, Xi Gu'an was a little anxious: "Is it dangerous?" ”
Ling Xiqian fell silent and pursed his lips, obviously refusing to answer the question.
"Then I'll ...... tomorrow"
"You're too tired today, so let's rest early." Ling Xiqian said and walked outside, "I'll go first, and I'll arrange your affairs tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Xi Gu'an's heart sank for a while, and she felt that Ling Xiqian was extremely cold today, and what made her even more angry was that she actually went directly to another room on the wedding night.
Xi Gu called the system aggrieved in his heart: "Is this person also like those big pig's trotters, and he is no longer interested in what he gets, so the newlywed Yan'er abandoned me alone in the cold new house." ”
The system was also helpless, and said: "The big guy may have his own ideas." ”
As if he hadn't heard the answer from the person behind him, Ling Xiqian turned around and saw the little girl's aggrieved and completely lost look, and the sparkling light in her eyes had dimmed. As if aware of the little girl's uneasiness, he laughed quietly, and his voice was a little sultry.
"Don't think about it," Ling Xiqian said, "Although we are husband and wife now, many pairs of eyes are staring at us now, and now my temporary plan is that we don't have to be so close, so that your safety is guaranteed." ”
Xi Gu'an was a little surprised by the other party's carefulness and thoughtfulness, and nodded: "If there is anything that needs to be cooperated, you can also tell me." ”
Ling Xiqian's eyes became a little gentle: "If you protect yourself, you will be the greatest help to me." He paused, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes, but then it was replaced by firmness, "After a while, when the limelight is over, you can go to live in that place in the suburbs." ”
Thinking of the luxurious mansion that was decorated, Xi Gu'an nodded, but a little vigilant: "Me? What about you? ”
Ling Xiqian's eyes were a little guilty: "I'm sorry, maybe after this period of limelight passes, I will be sent outside for a period of time by the emperor for various reasons, isolating this relationship between the court and the middle, and there may be no way to accompany you." ”
After Ling Xiqian left, Xi Guan lay on the bed and sighed: "Alas, in the end, you are stronger than me in the plot, no matter whether His Royal Highness King Ning has a good impression of me or not, in the end, he was beaten to the point of being sent to the cold palace." ”
The system looks like a little pitiful glance in the corner, and it feels like the host's resentment is about to radiate.
……
The next day, sure enough, a person who looked like a guard knocked on the door, and to Xi Gu'an's surprise, this person could obviously be stuck out as a woman. She could tell from the numbers of these people that they should all be the secret guards under Ling Xiqian, and they have been living a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and they must be a group of powerful men.
Seeing the surprised expression on Xi Gu'an's face, Chu Jiu smiled slightly: "What, is Miss Xi surprised by my gender?" ”
Xi Gu'an nodded a little shyly, revealing a shy smile: "Yes, Miss Chu Jiu looks very powerful." ”
Chu Jiu also smiled, with a little hearty feeling: "The princess is really easy to enter, no wonder the prince likes you so much, and sent me to protect you closely." She paused and winked mischievously, "It seems that the prince is also a vinegar jar, and he doesn't want those stinky men to get close to you." ”
Xi Gu An immediately figured out the intention of Ling Xiqian's arrangement, and sure enough, Chu Jiu said: "Mu Zhi girl and I have been serving as maids by your side for the past two days, protecting your safety closely, Miss Xi doesn't need to worry." ”
Xi Gu'an was a little worried and asked, "Where did the prince go today, I didn't see him early in the morning." ”
"The prince has attacked the palace, after all, it was yesterday's incident......" Speaking of this matter, Chu Jiu's voice was a little suppressed, "The emperor is really old and confused, and he has always felt that the prince of my family is plotting against him, obviously she is ......"
"The ninth day of the first month!" A voice interrupted her words sharply, and a powerful man walked over with a carriage, his sharp gaze swept over at Chu Jiu, "You dare to discuss the affairs of the Son of Heaven casually, aren't you afraid that the wall will cause trouble to the prince?!" ”
