Chapter 247: Life Hangs by a Thread (2)
Jiu'er and Eldest Sun Xinyue were hidden under the table arranged by Xia Mengning, and now the boat shook violently, both of them had no martial arts, and they couldn't hold it steady, and the eldest grandson Xinyue was about to roll into the river along the half-tilted deck, Jiu'er hurriedly reached out and grabbed her hand, but she didn't have any extra strength, and the two rolled to the side of the boat together.
Fortunately, there was a huge mast on the side of the boat, and both of them were intercepted and did not fall into the river.
The eldest grandson Xinyue got up, stood firmly, and just wanted to pull up Jiu'er, there was a more violent shaking of the boat under his feet, and the eldest grandson Xinyue screamed 'ah', and his body was violently thrown to the other side, and he distanced himself from Jiu'er.
Zheng Hanxiu and Zheng Yuxiu have been arched ashore, but Meng Xianya was thrown on the boat, Wen'er helped Meng Xianya to move forward, the two moved forward a little bit carefully, at this time the boat shook more violently, Meng Xianya was afraid of death, and dragged Wen'er's hand desperately, and cold sweat broke out.
The two walked forward, Jiu'er Zheng also stood up, and climbed forward with Meng Xian Ya Wen'er, Leng Xiao was killing enemies on the shore, Wen'er's eyes glanced at Leng Xiao, and then looked at Jiu'er beside her, she suddenly remembered the chrysanthemum banquet in the house, the intimate interaction between Leng Xiao and Jiu'er.
I don't know what's wrong, Wen'er's heart tightened, her eyes darkened, and a black internal force was carried in her palm, which hit Jiu'er's leg without a trace.
Jiu'er only felt a pain in her legs, and couldn't help but lose her strength, and with the shaking of the boat, she fell into the river at once.
A hint of ridicule crossed the corner of Wen'er's mouth, and she helped Meng Xianya to walk to the shore.
Just when everyone thought they were safe, unexpectedly, the black-clothed people on the shore suddenly increased again, and Zheng Yuxiu, who was originally on the shore, was overturned into the river at once.
"Protect the Queen!" The screams sounded instantly, and many of the maiden eunuchs who protected Zheng Yuxiu hurriedly jumped into the river, Leng Xiao put away his sword, and looked coldly at the bubbling surface of the river, and a trace of a smile oozed from the corner of his mouth.
In the grass on the shore not far away, several black-clothed people showed their faces, the corners of Leng Xiao's mouth were slightly cold, and just as he wanted to open his mouth, he saw Wen'er's small movements.
Leng Xiao's heart tightened, he saw clearly that the person who was beaten into the river by Wen'er was Jiu'er, and he didn't care about giving orders, so he suddenly jumped into the river.
Leng Xiao's movements did not attract the attention of others in this chaotic scene, but Wen'er saw it clearly, she and Meng Xianya walked ashore, Wen'er did not have the slightest panic on her face, just looked at the river lightly, but her heart felt like she had been punched hard, and the pain was uncomfortable.
Leng Xiao jumped into the river, he didn't know if Jiu'er would be able to water, but the scene at that moment made him feel panic like never before, he didn't care about anything else, he just kept swimming, looking, trying to find Jiu'er.
Jiu'er fell into the river, in fact, she didn't know water at all, just when she felt that she was going to suffocate, she was pulled up by a pair of strong arms, and Jiu'er saw a familiar face in a daze.
It's him!
Jiu'er's heart moved, knowing that he must have come to save himself, forgetting that this was at the bottom of the river, Jiu'er opened her mouth and just wanted to speak, but was poured into her body by the water pouring from everywhere, Leng Xiao saw it, her good-looking eyebrows furrowed, and then she reached out and pulled Jiu'er's body over, and her cold and thin lips were imprinted on her.
Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, only to feel a steady stream of gas entering her body from her lips, and her thin body was tightly clamped by Leng Xiao, and she didn't even have the strength to struggle.
Leng Xiao took her with one hand and paddled the water upstream with the other, and the two finally got on the water, Jiu'er's face was already blushing, and her hair was wet and imprinted on her head, Leng Xiao looked sideways, and was slightly stunned.
Jiu'er noticed Leng Xiao's gaze, and lowered his head a little embarrassed, at this moment, he only heard a loud noise not far away, Jiu'er's ears were almost deaf, and he only heard Leng Xiao next to him secretly say that it was not good, almost at the same time, Jiu'er felt that he was firmly pressed into a warm embrace, and his ears were full of Leng Xiao's heartbeat.
Immediately afterwards, a louder and more violent voice sounded, Jiu'er felt Leng Xiao's body move suddenly, and a warm liquid flowed onto his face, after the sound, Jiu'er raised his head, the river water in front of him had been mixed with a hint of red, Jiu'er was stunned, and saw that Leng Xiao, who was still protecting himself, had leaned his head softly in his arms.
Jiu'er was shocked, hurriedly reached out to help Leng Xiao's face, and shouted eagerly: "Brother Leng, Brother Leng, what's wrong with you......"
The sticky touch from her hand made Jiu'er's heart tremble, and she slowly moved her hand to her eyes, and her eyes were all shocking red.
At this time, the sound had passed, and many people jumped into the water to save people, and the royal palace had already arrived and rescued Leng Xiao and Jiu'er ashore.
Jiu'er was frightened, holding Leng Xiao's hand and crying, Xia Mengning finally found Jiu'er, in fact, all the people on the shore saw the scene just now, Xia Mengning came over and just wanted to speak, Jiu'er hurriedly turned around and held Xia Mengning's hand and cried: "Miss, Miss...... Please...... Save Brother Leng...... Brother Leng ...... to save me"
Jiu'er was out of breath crying, Xia Mengning was distressed, hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears, nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”
As he spoke, he squatted down to check Leng Xiao's pulse, and Jiu'er couldn't stop crying on the side, "Miss, will Brother Leng be okay?" ”
Xia Mengning carefully checked Leng Xiao's pulse, and was shocked, but he instantly put down his mind and said, "It's okay, his injury hasn't hurt his internal organs yet, and timely treatment will be fine." ”
At this time, the eldest grandson Yun had already come over, instructed the nursing home to carry Leng Xiao back, and said to Jiu'er: "Don't worry, Leng Xiao's body is very good, and he won't die so easily." ”
Jiu'er held back her tears and bent down to thank her, "Master Xie." ”
At this time, Zheng Yuxiu was also rescued, compared with Leng Xiao, Zheng Yuxiu was not so optimistic, not only was his mind no longer clear, his two legs had been blown beyond recognition, and the imperial doctors on the side were in a hurry.
A good boating pleasure became like this, even the queen was injured, and Cheng Tianxing, the master of Ying Tianfu, was almost frightened and fainted.
The rest of the things were handed over to the government to take care of, the eldest grandson Yun sent Xia Mengning back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he got off the carriage, Xia Mengning couldn't help but advise, "Take care of your injuries, and if Leng Xiao is well, remember to let him report a message." ”
Jiu'er sat on the side, looking at Changsun Yun with a pair of big wet eyes and longing, and Changsun Yun smiled lightly, "I know, you have to be careful yourself." ”
Xia Mengning and Jiu'er returned to the Bamboo Branch Garden, Zhulian was startled, and hurriedly boiled hot water and served tea, Xia Mengning saw Jiu'er's lost soul, reached out to give her a pulse, and knew that Jiu'er's body was not damaged, so she sighed and said: "Don't worry too much, if it's good, I'll come and tell you." ”
When Jiu'er heard this, she burst into tears again, knelt at Xia Mengning's feet and cried: "Miss, Jiu'er has a reluctant request, Brother Leng was injured to save the slave, and the slave wanted to go to the palace to take care of him, and begged the young lady to fulfill it." ”
Xia Mengning sighed, pulled Jiu'er up, and said, "Okay, I'll go and talk to the prince, don't worry too much." ”
Zhu Lian heard the doorway, and also came to comfort Jiu'er, and helped Jiu'er back to the house.
After Xia Mengning bathed, he sat on the couch to recuperate the true qi in his body, and when he took Leng Xiao's pulse today, he actually found a strong true qi in his body, that kind of true qi is the ancient qi that only people with extremely strong martial arts can practice, and he fought with Leng Xiao, although Leng Xiao's martial arts were powerful at that time, but they were not strong to this point, Xia Mengning frowned, why did Leng Xiao's body have such a powerful true qi, and he looked at him today with a blue face, obviously faintly having the meaning of going mad.
Could it be that this Leng Xiao is secretly practicing some kind of martial arts, which leads to going mad?
Xia Mengning twisted her eyebrows, and heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then, the door curtain was lifted, Wu Qing walked in with a nervous face and said, "What's the matter, I searched for you everywhere but didn't find it, who was injured?" ”
Xia Mengning told Wu Qing about the matter, Wu Qing was silent for a long time, and then said: "You think the same as me, I went to explore the terrain, I thought it was Changsun Mo's person, but when I started to find out that it was not, who sent this person." ”
Xia Mengning's face was solemn, "Today's incident is for me, but the group of people in the back is for the queen." ”
Wu Qing was shocked, "Queen? Who is going to kill the queen? ”
Xia Mengning thought carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "Do you remember that night when we went to the Mojun Palace, there was another man in black, I guess, today's incident was caused by this person, he has a grudge against the queen, so the queen must be put to death." ”
Wu Qing nodded, "It's bad now, if the queen dies, many forces in the court will be disrupted again, you say, who is most beneficial to this matter?" ”
Xia Meng pondered for a while, and then smiled slowly: "No, the queen is smart and suspicious, how can she be so simple to be calculated, I can see that she knows some kung fu, but she hides it so deeply, I can't see how many martial arts there are." ”
After speaking, Xia Mengning said again: "Today, Jiu'er fell into the water, it was Leng Xiao, the guard next to Changsun Yun, who saved her, Leng Xiao was injured, Jiu'er was worried, you go and talk to Changsun Yun, let Jiu'er go to the palace to take care of Leng Xiao for a while." ”
When Wu Qing heard this, he couldn't hide his surprise on his face, and said, "Good girl, when did these two people come together?" ”
Xia Mengning shook his head, "I only found out today, Leng Xiao had every chance to throw Jiu'er and run by himself at that time, but he chose to protect Jiu'er without thinking about it, and he was injured by a mine, it seems that his thoughts about Jiu'er are not fake." ”
Wu Qing smiled, took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, "Leng Xiao is a good person, but he is as his name suggests, his temperament is too cold, I didn't expect to be fascinated by Jiu'er, but I know, the girl Wen'er next to Meng Xianya in the palace also likes Leng Xiao, if you talk about Jiu'er like this, what if that Wen'er makes any stumbling blocks for Jiu'er?" ”
Xia Mengning let out an 'oh' and said with a smile: "This is why I sent Jiu'er in, I am going to get married in half a year, and Jiu'er can't be left alone, if I can find a good home as soon as possible, it can be regarded as lucky, this time if Leng Xiao can protect her, I will agree to this matter, if not, I can cut off this thought for Jiu'er as soon as possible." ”
Wu Qing smiled narrowly at Xia Mengning, "You, you have a lot of ghost thoughts." ”
Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and tapped Wu Qing, pretending to be serious: "It's not big, it's not small!" ”
