Chapter 723: Wake Up!
The corners of the man's mouth hidden under the black cloth curled slightly, and a pair of narrow eyes looked at Zhong Xiaoshu with an angry face on the other side with a slight interest.
As soon as he saw the secret guard over there rushing towards him, the man only sneered and then made a light effort and rushed to the wasteland.
The secret guard chased after him for a while but didn't keep up, but he felt that this man was not only athletic, but also very good at light skills.
Seeing that people were running farther and farther, several secret guards became more and more worried about Zhong Xiaoshu's safety.
After all, there are only two people guarding Zhong Xiaoshu now, and if something happens, they can't afford it.
The leader waved his hand behind him, and hurriedly returned to Zhong Xiaoshu with the group of people behind him.
After seeing that she was still safe, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you catch it?"
"Nope!"
The Dark Guard Captain glanced at Zhong Xiaoshu, and his voice was extremely low.
Zhong Xiaoshu could only sigh helplessly after hearing this.
"Forget it, let's take Tianya Hua back to the post station first, the most important thing for blindness is it, this is related to Princess Qin Xiang's life."
After speaking, Zhong Xiaoshu was escorted by a group of secret guards and returned to the post station with medicinal materials.
As soon as he returned to the post station, Zhong Xiaoshu gave the medicinal herbs to the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor, who had been guarding Qin Xiang's side, hurriedly took the medicinal materials and dispensed the medicine, and gave it to Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang also quickly sobered up under the effect of medicinal materials, and his spirit was no longer in a trance.
Yin Zhige saw that Qin Xiang came to his senses, so he nodded.
Immediately, he ordered Xiao Dezi to spread the news that the queen gave up her life to take medicinal materials.
It didn't take long for the rumors to spread outside
"I heard that Princess Qin Xiang of the Qin Kingdom has woken up!"
"What? Isn't Princess Qin Xiang of the Qin Kingdom always groggy? I've heard people say it's been a few days. ”
"It seems that the queen mother went to a far away place to collect medicinal materials, and only that medicinal material can cure Princess Qin Xiang of Qin Kingdom."
"That's a big deal!"
"I'll just say that the queen mother is very kind-hearted, and you narrow-minded people will talk nonsense!"
For a while, the teahouse outside and the storytellers in the tavern almost didn't blow Zhong Xiaoshu into the sky.
"Harm! The queen mother is also very powerful, she found the medicinal materials so quickly and cured Princess Qin Xiang of Qin Kingdom. ”
"What's there, it's her business, she should be."
"What! The murder of Princess Qin Xiang of Qin State has not yet been decided, is it not possible for the queen mother to do it.
However, I don't think it's like it, the queen has always been kind and charitable, I'm afraid, it was someone who deliberately spread rumors before. ”
"Yes, yes!"
The rumors outside, the little princess Qin Xiang of Qin Kingdom didn't know that she had just woken up and her body was still very weak.
Drinking the medicinal food carefully made by the maid, lying on the chaise longue, his little face was pale, and his usually bright eyes were darkened a lot.
"I have a little ancestor, you can get better quickly." King Qin saw Qin Xiang's look of arrogance, and he was anxious.
"Dad, be quiet."
A few days later, news suddenly came from the frontier.
Above the court.
As soon as Yin Zhige saw the letter from the frontier from Xiao Dezi.
Suddenly, angry eyebrows rang out.
"Too much deception!"
The handsome face was already full of anger, and he almost overturned the table in front of him.
"Don't be angry, King Yan and the soldiers are fine, and the loss is not particularly big!"
As soon as they saw Yin Zhige so angry, the ministers below hurriedly bowed their hands, leaned down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
"What kind of person is that, who is so bold as to dare to burn my Xichuan military camp!
King Yan and all the soldiers are fine, but the national prestige of my Daxichuan is beyond doubt! ”
Flicked his sleeves vigorously, Yin Zhige's narrow eyes were full of anger, and his hands that fell on the dragon chair next to him were already covered with green tendons.
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty!"
The ministers in the audience had already folded into a ball, and Yin Zhige's appearance was angry when he looked at it, and they were all afraid of drawing the fire to themselves.
"Why don't I get angry when the soldiers are fighting on the frontier, but the yurts they rest in at night are burned down?
What about King Yan? If he hadn't taken all the soldiers to rehearsal, I am afraid that he would have been burned by the enemy.
There are not a single casualties, and their own camp is gone, how can they rest? How do generals make up for the enemy and kill the enemy? ”
Yin Zhige was so angry that his anger rose from above, and the ministers in the audience were trembling with fright.
One by one, they didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhong Xiaoshu, who was in the harem, naturally heard about it.
Naturally, I was surprised that the other end of the frontier was burned.
Lying on the chaise longue, looking at the peonies and lilies in the back garden, each delicate flower, touched his chin.
After a while, Zhong Xiaoshu pointed to a peony in the garden and said to the maid behind him, "What do you think it looks like?" ”
The peony is surrounded by delicate flowers, and it doesn't seem to be outstanding.
But the root underneath is very peculiar, the stem of the peony is extremely simple, but it is connected to a moon next to it.
"This ...... The slave can't see this, so please make it clear. ”
The maidservant had been grinding for a long time, but she couldn't say why.
Zhong Xiaoshu waved his hand and said, "Once the peony is broken, the moon season will definitely be damaged." ”
The maid shook her head and said, "Niangniang, the slave doesn't understand. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu smiled and said, "The form of the peony is exactly the same as the current form of the frontier. ”
The maidservant girl asked, "Why?" How did the mother know? ”
Zhong Xiaoshu smiled and stopped talking.
She also had some guesses about the identity of the arsonist.
So many things have happened in so many days, first the mysterious death of the palace maid, then the disappearance of the princess, and now the setting of fire to the yurt.
Several things happened too coincidentally, and it was hard not to let Zhong Xiaoshu associate them together.
The purpose of the man who burned the yurt was probably to make the soldiers on the frontier suffer a great loss of vitality, so that they would no longer have the strength to fight.
Zhong Xiaoshu sneered a few times, even if she was usually extremely good-tempered, she was amused by the enemy's shameless gesture.
"Niangniang, what are you laughing at?" The maidservant listened to the queen's mother laugh suddenly, and only felt a little confused.
She is a little palace maid, so she naturally can't figure out the doorways inside, and Zhong Xiaoshu also understands.
"It's nothing, it's just, it's going to be dawning soon."
The handmaid was even more confused, didn't it dawn earlier?
"Niangniang, do you want to eat mung bean cake?" The maidservant suddenly came out with such a sentence, which made Zhong Xiaoshu cry and laugh a little.
It's just that, and she can't tell it.
"Well, you asked the imperial dining room to make some mung bean cakes, this palace really wants to."
The maid was complacent, and after answering, she left Kunning Palace.
Only Zhong Xiaoshu sat alone on the chaise longue with a solemn expression.
