"Your Highness! Not what you think! You listen to the concubine's explanation, you don't want to be like this! ”

The heavy, beastly breath of the palace squirted above my head, completely covering my screams. He was rudely and furiously tearing at my clothes, ** already aroused by the anger that erupted.

"Your Highness, don't!"

My mind went blank, and I pushed my palms out with all my might—the sound of a wooden stool breaking and the screams of the palace guards in pain came to my ears.

I slowly opened my eyes, and sure enough, I saw the palace man lying on the ground, his body twisted in pain, and there was still anger and resentment on his crumpled face. He pressed his hand away from his lower back, and I saw a blinding blood-red glow in my nightmare.

After that, I don't remember very clearly how Guan Ju and Pu Jia broke in, how the servants called the imperial doctor in a panic, and how the injured palace curtains were carried back to the study by everyone.

When Pu Jia cleaned up the messy room, Guan Ju put the soothing soup on the side of the bed, and saw that I was just holding my legs sluggishly, and the lotus flower on weekdays only turned into a helpless sigh.

Gong Wei, does he still know about me and Gong Hao......

Although the palace curtain is insidious and cunning, and I frequently make killing moves, I still have the support of Taopinlou and the Tail Sect, at least I can find a way to resolve it;

Although Hou Ye is far away from the cold and fights hard, he has led troops for many years, is well versed in the art of war, and has Wen Zhao to take care of him, so he will not worry about his life;

I haven't seen it through, but in fact, the biggest threat to me has always been the palace around me.

Remorse spreads irrepressibly in my heart. Why did I break into the palace to meet the palace flags despite Guan Ju and Pu Jia's dissuasion? Why didn't you notice that the palace was around the corner when Pu Jia was talking?

Fortunately, Miyahata was sane and didn't come out of Wangqi Palace. If we are caught by the palace today, then we will really die without a place to be buried.

Reason tells me to hurry up and come up with a countermeasure to deal with a cruel tomorrow. However, my mind was always a mess and I had no clue at all. The feeling of weightlessness and powerlessness that synesthesiates every inch of the muscles and nerves of my body makes me feel like a fish waiting to be slaughtered on a board.

Struggling, but nothing can be changed.

My thoughts were drowsy, and I don't know how long I had been sitting in bed, but the faint morning light had already penetrated through the curtains.

Guan Ju and Pu Jia came in very early, the two of them walked into the inner room lightly, Guan Ju took out the charcoal basin that was burned to ashes, and Pu Jia sighed softly when she saw the soothing soup that had been placed on the bedside table all night.

The two of them thought I was still asleep, so they silently cleaned up outside. Listening to their soft conversations and footsteps, I felt an inexplicable sense of peace. When you close your eyes, you let tiredness flood into your brain, and sleepiness takes over your deep thoughts.

When I woke up, it was already early afternoon.

When Guan Ju and Pu Jia saw me get out of bed, they hurriedly replaced the breakfast that had been placed on the table in the morning with lunch. The two of them added soup and vegetables as usual, and did not say a word about the events of last night, as if it had never happened.

I couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "How is the palace house?" ”

"Don't worry, girl, the prince lied that he felt a fever occasionally, so he avoided today's morning court, and now he is resting in the mansion."

"Lying about body heat..."I was a little dazed, "Didn't he complain to the emperor?" ”

"Nope." Pu Jia said to me in a soothing and soft tone, "The slave and maid have been staring at the front yard all night, and there has been no movement from His Royal Highness the Prince's side. ”

"Even if he doesn't say it, he can't hide it." I was a little panicked, "It was the imperial doctor from the palace who came last night, how could he not tell the emperor about the emperor's injuries?" ”

"Pu Jia asked the slave maid to go to the front yard in the morning to probe the people in the prince's courtyard, and I heard that His Royal Highness the prince had seen the injury last night, so he called the imperial doctor at that time, and told him not to publicize this matter." Guan Ju's tone was embarrassed, a pair of apricot eyes flashed and flashed, and he looked at me for a long time before he said, "Girl, I have to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind to you... I really cherish it. ”

There was a sudden tingling in my heart, and it immediately faded.

Is it true that the palace is so generous and generous to me, and he doesn't even listen to my explanation, and then lets the matter go?

I stayed in my room all day, and the palace clerk never came to the backyard. Pu Jia once suggested that I cook some soup and go to the front yard to apologize, and I knew in my heart that it was naturally best to pursue the victory like this, but I was never able to convince my heart to resist instinctively.

And so the day passed.

Another day passed.

On the third day, I finally couldn't bear it, so I sank my heart and took Guan Ju and Pu Jia to the study of the palace in the front yard. However, when we arrived at the study, the scholar in the room told us that the palace had gone to court this morning.

"Going to court?" I was a little incredulous, "He was so badly injured the day before yesterday, how did he get to the court?" ”

"Your Highness has been restless for the past two days, for fear that the palace will notice something." The scholar had a bitter face, "Today, despite the dissuasion of the government doctor, I wrapped my waist and went to the court in the morning." ”

On the way home, I was a little distracted. There is an inexplicable sourness in my heart, which hides the joy of being exempt from punishment. The prince was injured, and the matter was serious. And the palace guard hid the matter for my sake......

For the next two days, I would go to the front yard to greet the chicken soup cooked by Guan Ju at night breakdown, and every time I went to the study, I was greeted by a closed door.

"The crown princess can rest assured, His Royal Highness is in good health and is no longer in serious trouble. In the past few days, the court and China have discussed the day when the five princes set off, and His Royal Highness is tired, and now he has fallen asleep. ”

I looked past the scholar and looked at the window paper with faint candlelight, and my heart was a little guilty: "Then you can tell me as usual, just say that I have been here." ”

"Yes."

"Did you say that the DPRK and China are discussing the day when the five princes will set off?"

"Yes, I heard that Lihan was in a hurry, so the emperor agreed to set off from the main palace gate tomorrow."

"Oh..."

When I returned to the courtyard, I was in a state of confusion. The palace banner was in such a hurry, and I was so entangled in the affairs of the palace in the past two days that I didn't even have time to ask Sarong and Qu Xi for help, asking them to help me send someone to escort the palace banner.

"Girl, it's not the slave who said you, how can you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the five princes?" Guan Ju looked at me and pondered, and couldn't help but say, "If he reveals a word in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, won't we be in trouble again?" ”

"No, even if he says something, the palace won't touch us."

Guan Ju was still puzzled, and I exchanged a sympathetic look with Pu Jia, and both of them sighed.

Regardless of identity, everyone is just a pitiful person.

"Although the palace is in my arms, I still can't watch the palace flag leave the city of Karshu without protection." I calmed down, "The people of Feiyan Banner are not good at martial arts, and now there are no outstanding Gangfeng Banner dead soldiers in Jiazhou." Tomorrow I will go out of the city in person, so that I can rest assured that the palace flag will walk out safely. ”

"Why should the girl go out again?" Guan Ju hurriedly said, "If you want to find someone to protect the five princes, you can ask the slave maid to send a message to Taopin Building!" ”

"Of course, Taopinlou is going to go, and it is thousands of miles away from the cold in Karzhou, so naturally I can't escort the whole process." I was worried, "I have to go back and ask Sarong for help." I'm going to go tomorrow this time, if nothing else, I want to see him again. ”

"According to the current attitude of His Royal Highness the Prince, the girl's trip out of the house must also make it." Pu Jia thought for a while and smiled at me peacefully, "Then tomorrow the slave and maid will be guarding you in the mansion, you can go and come back quickly." ”

I looked at Guan Ju and Pu Jia and smiled gratefully at the two girls.

The next morning, when I had left the palace, I packed my bags and slipped out. This morning's East Market is not as quiet as before, the officials of the court and the central government have gone to the palace gate to participate in the palace flag's send-off ceremony, and the people have also gathered on Changning Street early, everyone wants to see if His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, who has been known for his mediocrity and stubbornness since childhood, will look like a young general after putting on his battle robe.

I avoided the crowd and ran straight to the gates. The exit from the city was relatively smooth, and the soldiers guarding the city seemed to want to clear the flow of people at the city gate as soon as possible, and there was almost no interrogation of the people leaving the city.

I used light skills and ran in the direction of Lianyue Mountain, and found a low mountain bag to hide. The snow on Lianyue Mountain has melted a lot last time. The spring is cold, and the harsh winter has come to an end.

I can't help but sigh that Gong Wan once made an appointment with me in Lianyue Mountain, and later at the Five Flags rally, I made an appointment with him. This place was supposed to be the end of our fate, but by chance, it became the beginning of our love.

The sun slowly rose over the eastern sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a moment. I heard the sound of wheels rolling and horses' hooves clinking in the distance—the palace flag was out of town.

Sure enough, not long after, the figure of the palace banner on the horse appeared on the other side of the official road, I have never seen him dressed in armor like this today, although he can't see his appearance from a distance, but his complexion is smooth and fair, his temperament is vigorous and heroic, but there is really a kind of dragon and Lin Zhen major general style.

He was followed by a large group of chariots and horses, each of which carried a pile full of bags of grain and clothes, and there were more than fifty of them.

The group slowly walked in my direction, and I hid myself among the withered weeds, and for a moment I hoped that Miyahata would glance in my direction.

However, Miyahata didn't notice me, he stared straight ahead, and passed by the mounds of the Lianyue Mountains without a hitch. After the convoy had gone twenty or thirty feet away, I quietly brushed away the grass and followed. Wen Ling's internal strength is not bad, and he has the ability to make his feet land as light as a feather. I followed them quietly and went all the way southwest along the official road.

I don't know how long I walked, but the sun had moved into the middle of the sky. I calculated the distance, and I had almost followed it fifty miles from Karishu.

Now the roadside is full of barren grass, and on both sides of the grass are endless corn fields. Heaps of straw were piled up in small knolls and scattered in the open spaces of the fields—there should be no danger in such places. I thought to myself.

Just as I was reluctant to stop and was about to return home, a sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came into my ears, and looking back, I was horrified to see an uncountable number of black-clad assassins jumping out from behind the pile of straw, wielding sharp knives and heading straight for Miyahata's convoy.
