Chapter 216 Don't mention it to anyone else
The prince's gray eyebrows moved, and he did not hesitate to deny the Praetorian Guard's statement: "You mean that this Yan girl is an assassin?" The old man shook his head decisively: "You are definitely mistaken. ”
He stretched out his hand and pulled Yan Xiaoyi over, and said to everyone present: "Miss Yan entered the palace this time, I have already discussed it with the emperor in advance. The emperor woke up from sleep, his spirit was not confused, and when he heard about Yan Xiaoyi, he didn't doubt it at all, so he asked the old slave to invite him into the palace. ”
His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and there was a faint majesty: "The emperor can trust this Yan girl, do you want to question the emperor?" ”
The prince moved the emperor out, and even if the queen mother and the fifth prince Baili Yeqing who were present wanted to hold on to Yan Xiaoyu anymore, they had no choice.
The Praetorian Guard who had just spoken was even more divided, and seeing that the eyes of the Empress and Baili Yeqing fell on him, he couldn't help but touch the back of his head.
Before, Baili Yeqing and the queen told them that they must be sure that Yan Xiaocun had the intention of assassinating the emperor, so that it would be convenient for them to use Yan Xiaoyun to win over General Rong. However, after thousands of calculations, I didn't expect the prince to actually meddle in this matter and move the emperor out!
At this moment, the queen and Baili Yeqing's little abacus did not succeed, and they had to blame this fault on others. He thought about it and couldn't help but shrink his head, stepped forward and smiled flatteringly at the prince: "Princess, you don't dare to question the emperor's meaning even if you borrow ten of us!" Aren't we also doing this for the emperor's good, for fear that some assassins will come into this palace and threaten the emperor's life! ”
The prince glanced at the Praetorian Guard, and his gray beard curled up: "Say that Miss Yan is an assassin, what evidence do you have!" ”
The Praetorian Guard hurriedly raised the tassel in his hand and shook it in front of the prince: "Princess, this is what our brothers found near the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it is the same as the one that fell off Miss Yan's clothes!" ”
Wang Gonggong took the tassel with his hand, glanced at the other one on Yan Xiaoyi's body, and then asked, "Where did you pick up this tassel?" ”
The Praetorian Guard's eyes rolled and his expression paused, and then he continued: "Oh, it's really at the entrance of the main hall! ”
Rong Xiu saw the opportunity and said from the side: "That's right, Xiao Wei told me that she had just been ordered to enter the palace to go to the Yangxin Palace to treat the emperor, but when she walked to the door of the palace, she called several times and no one answered. She was afraid that the loud voice would alarm the emperor, so she stayed for a while and left. He found me in this back garden again, and wanted me to help introduce me. Who knows, before she and I went, you were noisily condemned as a 'female assassin'. Now that I think about it, the tassel in your hand should have been accidentally dropped by my cumin at the door of the main hall. ”
The Praetorian Guard opened his mouth to speak, but found that there was no way to refute it. He slipped the queen and Baili Yeqing with his eyes, but saw that one of them pursed his lips and was silent, and the other stood there stunned, he didn't plan to look at him at all, and he didn't know what to do for a while
Over there, the princess's patience had been exhausted, Bai Huahua's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, from the perspective of the old slave, this dispute today is just a misunderstanding. Now it's easy to say anything, that is, the emperor's injury is important, and there is no delay, so the old slave took Miss Yan to the Heart Cultivation Palace to treat the emperor. ”
As he spoke, he blessed the queen and Baili Ye Qing respectively, and then took Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyu away.
When he reached a secluded side hall, the prince headed by him stopped his steps.
He listened attentively to the movements around him, and then gave a salute to Yan Xiaoyi: "Miss Yan, are you okay?" ”
Others don't know what's going on, but Yan Xiaowei can't be clearer. Her entry into the palace today was simply improvised, how could there be any invitation from the emperor or anything like that.
Now that she has escaped a catastrophe, she hurriedly bowed to the princess: "Thank you for saving the princess!" Cumin toothless and unforgettable! ”
The prince flicked his hand, glanced at Rong Xiu with a light smile: "Miss Yan is so polite, Ah Xiu, this kid was raised by an old slave since he was a child, and the person he likes will not be wrong!" Moreover, the old slave has been in the court for so many years, and the old slave still knows who and what kind of person he is. How can you be an assassin if you have saved a person who saves the suffering and opens a civilian medical hall? I heard that this girl of yours didn't even want to enter the Tai Hospital at the beginning, how can she be a person who is nostalgic for officialdom! ”
He smiled kindly: "When you first entered the palace, the old slave was with Ah Xiu, knowing that you would be calculated when you entered the palace this time, Ah Xiu begged the old slave to help take care of it." You know, this kid has grown so big, he hasn't begged anyone yet! ”
Rong Xiu listened to Wang Gonggong's words, and quickly turned red, deliberately didn't look at Yan Xiaoyi, and complained with some disgust: "Wang Gonggong, why do you say anything!" ”
Wang Gonggong pointed to Rong Xiu's appearance and smiled lightly at Yan Xiaoyi: "This kid has been awkward since he was a child, and he won't say it directly if he likes it, like a gourd with a stuffy mouth." You girl looks kind, and she takes care of it a little more on weekdays! ”
Yan Xiaoyun glanced at Rong Xiu, and saw that his thick eyebrows were twisted, and his eyes drifted around, but he didn't look at her, so he couldn't help but smile lightly, and nodded hurriedly: "Princess, don't worry!" ”
The prince nodded with relief.
After laughing, Yan Xiaoying remembered what happened just now, but she was still a little worried. She couldn't help pursing her lips and asked Rong Xiu: "Just now you injured several Praetorian Guards with your sword, I see that several of them are in a group, will the queen and the fifth highness make trouble for you in the future!" ”
The shyness on Rong Xiu's face suddenly disappeared, and the corners of his mouth tugged at the corner of his mouth with a faint look: "I just want to take this opportunity to tell them that our Rong family is to maintain the safety and stability of the Baili Dynasty, and they are not being pulled around one by one to fight for the throne!" If you want to use some tricks to force me to go along with it, don't even think about it! ”
Yan Xiaowei listened, twisted her eyebrows, and couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid they won't be so kind and give up......"
Rong Xiu's face turned cold and he didn't say anything, but the prince on the side said to Yan Xiaoyi: "This, Miss Yan doesn't have to worry." ”
Yan Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask the prince what he meant by this.
Who knows, the princess looked at the sky, changed the topic, and said to Yan Xiaoyi: "Just now in front of the queen mother and the fifth highness, what the old slave said was not all to help the girl out of the siege. ”
He sighed softly, groaned slightly, and then continued: "The emperor's situation is not very good now. I heard that the girl's art is extraordinary, and the old slave dared to ask the girl to take a look for the emperor, even if it was not good, it could be regarded as the old slave's mind. At the end of the words, he seemed to be a little choked.
Yan Xiaoyi's eyes couldn't help but be hot, just imagine that an internal official of the two dynasties like Wang Gonggong basically belongs to watching the emperor grow up from childhood to adulthood, calling for wind and rain and white hair and twilight, and now Bai Liying was seriously injured after being assassinated, as a personal official, his old man's heart must be uncomfortable.
Yan Xiaowei hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, princess, although Xiaofen's medical skills are not good, I will definitely do my best to help the emperor take a look!" ”
Wang Gonggong raised his cuffs and wiped his tears from the corners of his eyes, and then continued to walk forward with Yan Xiaowei and Rong Xiu. However, instead of taking the main road, he walked into a Merlin.
The plum blossoms in winter are particularly fragrant, but at this moment, the three of them have no heart to watch.
After walking for a while, I saw a corner of the main hall where Merlin was hidden.
Although she has never been to the Heart Cultivation Palace, when she occasionally entered the palace before, Yan Xiaoyi had seen it from afar. At this moment, a small side door highlighted under the cover of Merlin is obviously an inconspicuous corner of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Yan Xiaoyi followed behind Wang Gonggong all the way, and couldn't help but wonder a little.
Since just now the princess had already said in front of the queen mother and Baili Yeqing that he wanted to let himself be hurt by Baili Ying, then now, what is the reason why the prince has abandoned the main entrance of the hall and quietly taken himself to the left side of the door?
With questions in her heart, Yan Xiaowei followed quietly behind.
The prince listened vigilantly to the surrounding movements, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he stretched out his hand to open the side door.
As soon as she entered, Yan Xiaowei smelled a strong smell of medicine! The smell was so loud that she almost choked on her breath.
As if he was accustomed to it, Wang Gonggong stretched out his hand to beckon Yan Xiaowei and Rong Xiu, and closed the door tightly. Then he neatly took out a candlestick from somewhere, lit a fire, and led the two of them into a dark and lengthy path by the faint light of the candle.
The more he walked, the colder it became, and in the end, Yan Xiaoying felt that the breath he exhaled from his mouth was gray.
The temperature in this place is even colder than outside!
Even though she was covered in a thick fox fur, however, after only a short walk, her limbs began to stiffen, and the blood on her body seemed to flow more slowly due to the cold.
As if feeling Yan Xiaoyi's discomfort, Rong Xiu took off the cloak on his body, and unexpectedly draped it on her body, wrapping her whole person into a huge cotton ball.
Rong Xiu raised his hand and touched her cold little face, and wrapped her hand in his big palm.
Yan Xiaowei looked at the princess who was slowly leading the way in front of her, and had a lot of questions in her heart, but before she could speak, Rong Xiu seemed to already know, reached out and squeezed her little hand tighter, and said softly: "You'll know when you arrive." ”
Yan Xiaowei had no choice but to purse her lips and continue to follow.
Fortunately, this narrow and dim corridor did not walk for long, and before she was about to be driven crazy by the various questions in her mind, the princess who had been walking in front of her finally stopped in front of a stone wall.
He looked back at Yan Xiaoyu and said, "Miss Yan, the old slave can trust Ah Xiu, so he can also trust you." However, I still have to advise you, no matter what you see or hear here, don't mention it to anyone else after you leave this door! ”
