As if to confirm Yan Xiaoyi's bad conjecture, not far away on the side of the water corridor, a group of palace maids came over surrounded by a woman in brocade clothes.

Yan Xiaoyi's eyes swept hurriedly, and her heart sank suddenly, it was the queen mother!

At this time, the north wind blew from the lake behind him, blowing everyone's clothes flying. Yan Xiaoyi's heart is like a fish that fell into a fisherman's net in the glacier, the more she struggles, the tighter she feels the fishing net on her body.

The queen mother walked all the way with a thin anger, her eyes swept over Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi, and there was no kindness as the first few times they met. Her eyebrows were slightly twisted, and the fat powder on her face was thick, making her already cold face even more ruthless.

She picked the corners of her mouth, and her voice was cold: "A little palace maid has already returned to the main palace and said that there was a dispute in the back garden because of the female assassin, what is going on?" ”

Her gaze swept over the Praetorian Guards lying on the ground, and her eyes suddenly showed anger: "Ah Xiu, what are you doing here?" The dignified little general's sword is not against the female assassin, and the knife is against his own people, what is the reason? Fight and kill here, if you collide with the emperor, what crime should you be guilty of? ”

This queen mother has a "female assassin" in her mouth, obviously with the five princes Baili Yeqing, who is not good, Yan Xiaoyan bit her lip tightly.

Rong Xiu's already cold eyes were more like a layer of ice, and he raised the corners of his mouth unruly, as if he didn't take the queen mother in his eyes at all: "Rong Xiu has always respected the queen mother, but now you haven't even investigated the matter yourself, and you only listened to other people's hearsay and gave the definition of 'female assassin', which really disappointed Rong Xiu." As he spoke, he pulled Yan Xiaowei to his side behind him, and said as if taking an oath: "Yan Xiaoyun is my Rong Xiu's woman, if anyone wants to move a finger of her, don't blame me for being rude!" Don't talk about you, even the king of heaven is here, and I Rong Xiu will also fight with him! ”

The queen mother was furious, her chest rose and fell for a while, and her slender fingers pointed at Rong Xiu and she couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, she pursed her lips tightly: "What you just said is true?" Do you really have Hongu in mind? ”

Rong Xiu smiled coldly: "It's not that I, Rong Xiu, don't take you seriously, it's that you have to go against me." What are you thinking, I know very well in my heart, but ......" said, his eyes suddenly darkened: "You miscalculated, I will never cooperate!" ”

The queen's willow eyebrows were raised: "You! You dare to talk to this palace like this, this palace wants to treat you with great disrespect! It's really unthinkable that a hairy boy would dare to argue with this palace! Don't you want to think about your Rong family? Heh, now that your Rong family dominates the entire army of the Baili Dynasty, our Baili clan has long wanted to purge you! As she spoke, she suddenly shouted to the Praetorian Guards who were following her: "Arrest these two embarrassed dog men and women for me!" ”

The long sword in Rong Xiu's hand lit up, and the sword was still stained with the blood of the Praetorian Guards just now. His cold eyes swept over the queen mother, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "Our Rong family has been loyal to the Baili clan for generations, but if you want to frame us with this kind of unscrupulous framing method, then don't blame my Rong family for being ruthless!" I have a tiger talisman on my body that can mobilize a million troops in the Baili Dynasty, if you dare to make a move, don't blame me for being rude! ”

The queen's motherly eyes were blood-red, and her voice was so sharp that it could almost split the cold air in the air: "What did you say?" It's really against you! ”

She looked back at the Praetorian Guard, who had greeted him very thickly, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Can't so many of you take the two of them? ”

Although he said that, no one around dared to move!

It is easy to catch Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi, however, as Rong Xiu said, their Rong family is the one who controls the million-strong army of the Baili Dynasty, as long as they move their fingers slightly, the destruction of the Baili clan is a matter of a flick of a finger! Therefore, the queen's order was given, but after all, no one really dared to offend the Rong family!

Over there, the fifth prince Baili Yeqing saw that Rong Xiu and the queen were confronted, and the atmosphere was stagnant, so he hurriedly walked up for a while, with a lot of smiles on his face: "Oh, what do you see you doing?" Okay, why is this all right? The Praetorian Guards just saw a female assassin and wanted to take Miss Yan back for interrogation. Ah Xiu, didn't you also say it, Miss Yan can't be an assassin, since that's the case, what if you bring it back and ask? If you prove her innocence, she will be released soon, as for you to fight and kill like this! ”

Seeing that Rong Xiu's face was expressionless, Baili Yeqing laughed again: "Moreover, if it weren't for the closeness of our Baili clan and the Rong clan, what you just said would have been suspected." As he spoke, he pretended to say solemnly: "In the future, you are not allowed to say anything like that just now, it doesn't matter if you are young and vigorous and occasionally fighting, if this word reaches the ears of others, I still think that your Rong family has the intention of plotting against it!" When the time comes, it will be really difficult to do! ”

Hearing his words, Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart. Looking at today's events, it is clear that it is a trap set by these five princes, first sending someone to take the tassel from his clothes at some point, and then sending Liu Gonggong to follow him all the way, attracting the Praetorian Guards, and framing himself as a female assassin who tried to assassinate the emperor! He Baili Yeqing and the queen are colluding, one singing red face and the other white face, and then clear her after Yan Xiaowei is convicted, so as to win over Rong Xiu, so as to obtain the powerful backer of the Rong family in the upcoming battle for the throne!

This plan is really thoughtful, but since Yan Xiaowei can see it, how could Rong Xiu not know!

In the small abacus of Baili Yeqing and the queen, it is estimated that they did not expect that Rong Xiu would not hesitate to fight to the death for Yan Xiaoyi. In view of the majesty of the Rong family's army, they could only say good things and turn things back. Baili Yeqing skillfully transformed Rong Xiu's righteous rhetoric just now into angry words, which not only eased the tense atmosphere between the two teams, but also gave the opposing sides a step down, which was really exhaustive.

Rong Xiu pursed his lips, looked at the queen and Baili Yeqing unruly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Baili Yeqing couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking in his heart.

Although Yan Xiaowei was very disdainful of Baili Yeqing and the queen's small means behind her, she knew that in this situation, only by taking advantage of Baili Yeqing's words to go down the stairs could she protect herself.

She thought for a moment and pulled the corner of Lajon's coat from behind, trying to hint that he should not go toe-to-toe with those men.

Rong Xiu pursed his lips expressionlessly, and looked at the few people in front of him lightly. The long sword in his hand was still dragging in his hand, exuding the same chilling aura as his people.

In the midst of this strange stalemate, a shrill and old voice suddenly came from outside the crowd: "What are you all doing here?" ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked for the sound and saw an old man in a dark red palace dress standing not far away.

This person has gray hair and a sparse beard, although Yan Xiaowei doesn't know who it is, but he can see at a glance that he is a respected father-in-law.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were over, the father-in-law walked over calmly, as if he was walking straight towards Yan Xiaowei and Rong Xiu.

Although he is old, his eyes are like torches, and Yan Xiaowei is stared at by him like this, and he inexplicably feels a little drumming in his heart. She racked her brains and couldn't figure out when she had met this person, but he really walked all the way towards her, standing in front of her and Rong Xiu with some smiles.

He opened his mouth, the sparse white beard on his chin swayed a few times with this movement, and said to Rong Xiu: "Little General, why are you here?" Don't you want Miss Yan to go over and see the emperor's injuries? The old slave has been waiting for you in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, and I haven't seen you over! ”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Yan Xiaoyi, and he asked kindly, "This girl is Miss Yan, right?" ”

Yan Xiaoyun looked at Rong Xiu, and saw that since he saw this father-in-law, his face suddenly warmed up, so he nodded cautiously: "If you go back to your father-in-law, I am Yan Xiaoyi." ”

The father-in-law nodded: "In that case, come back to the Heart Cultivation Hall with me!" ”

Yan Xiaoyun blinked, and before she could speak, the queen walked over from the side, looked at the father-in-law and said, "Princess, at this time, you are not guarding the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Palace, why did you come here?" ”

Yan Xiaowei nodded silently in her heart, and said strangely that everyone here looked respectful to her father-in-law. It turned out that this was the prince who served in front of the emperor, and assisted the highest internal official of the two kings of the Baili Dynasty!

The princess looked stunned, slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on the queen's face, and then he suddenly said: "The queen, the fifth highness, you are also here." ”

He bowed down and blessed the two, and stretched out his hand to Yan Xiaoyi: "The emperor's injury, several doctors in the hospital have seen it, but they haven't seen it well, I'm anxious." I heard that General Rong's fiancé opened a medical hall in our capital, and it was still a plaque given by the emperor at the beginning, so I thought of inviting her to come over to help the emperor take a look. I didn't expect to wait for a long time, but I didn't see a figure, who would think, I found it here. ”

The queen and the fifth prince Baili Yeqing obviously didn't expect that the prince would actually stand up and help Yan Xiaoyun speak, and they were speechless for a while.

After a while, one of the leaders of the Praetorian Guards came up and questioned while covering the wounds on his body: "Princess, you said that this Yan girl was invited into the palace by you?" However, we can find his attempt to assassinate the emperor outside the Heart Cultivation Palace! It seems that she is not a medical woman, but a female assassin! Don't be deceived! ”
