When Xia Mengning woke up, when he opened his eyes, he saw Changsun Yun sitting on the small couch in front of the window, recalling everything before he fell into a coma, Xia Mengning felt a little guilty in his heart, if he hadn't insisted on going to lure the enemy alone, there would be no such things, looking at Changsun Yun's pale face, Xia Mengning felt a pain in his heart, and he only felt more and more sorry for him.

At this moment, Changsun Yun snorted slightly, obviously having opened up the muscles and veins of his body, Xia Mengning hurriedly closed his eyes, and he didn't even know why.

Eldest Sun Yun slowly opened his eyes, it was already the middle of the night outside, and he had consumed most of his internal strength after tossing for a day, but fortunately he did not hurt his vitality, and he was much better after recuperating for most of the day.

After getting off the couch, Changsun Yun walked to Xia Mengning's bed, and seeing that the other party was asleep, Changsun Yun sat down, his fingers gently touched the wound on Xia Mengning's arm, and his face was a little distressed.

Xia Mengning couldn't pretend anymore, so she had to open her eyes slowly, and when Changsun Yun saw that she was awake, she smiled and said, "How do you feel?" ”

Xia Mengning blinked, "Today's event is thanks to you." ”

Changsun Yun looked at her dodging eyes, knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "If you feel guilty, remember to tell me if you have something in the future, let me solve it, and don't take risks alone like today." ”

Xia Mengning felt that Changsun Yun cared, in fact, when she was fighting with the group of black-clothed people on the cliff today, Xia Mengning felt that Changsun Yun would come.

Even if he didn't believe him a few days ago, when he was pointed at by the woman in black with a sword, he still thought of him in his heart, it turned out that he already believed in him so much.

Changsun Yun stretched out his fingers and gently scraped her face, frowned and said, "Do you know that when I heard the news from the secret guard today, I almost went crazy, if you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, I am afraid that I will not be able to live alone." ”

Xia Mengning recalled the look in his eyes when he saved himself, crazy and distressed, thinking of this, Xia Mengning only felt a sense of happiness of being carefully cared for, looked at Changsun Yun's eyes, and said softly: "There will be no next time." ”

After speaking, he curled his lips and smiled at Changsun Yun.

Eldest Sun Yun leaned over, and a gentle kiss landed on Xia Mengning's forehead.

"Take a good rest, I lost your true qi, and your body will get better faster." After speaking, Eldest Sun Yun stood up and tucked the corner of the quilt for Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning looked at Changsun Yun and asked, "Who are those people today?" ”

When Changsun Yun heard Xia Mengning's words, he moved an embroidered stool and sat over, and said, "I asked people to check, according to the weapons made by the black-clothed man on the cliff, it should be from the Western Regions." ”

After Changsun Yun finished speaking, he looked at Xia Mengning, who only paused slightly, then shook his head and said, "It is absolutely impossible to be from the Western Regions." ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning said again: "There is a contradiction between the Western Regions and the Northern Kingdom, both sides are on the verge of breaking out, but the Western Regions are not strong now, and even many treasures are paid to the Northern Kingdom every year, which shows that the Western Regions do not want to conflict with the Northern Kingdom now, and besides, the people in black are all masked, obviously they don't want people to see their true appearance, but why would they leave their weapons on the cliff so coincidentally, the people of the Western Regions are good at scheming, if they really want to kill, I am afraid that they will not use weapons with their own country markings." ”

Eldest Sun Yun nodded, "I think so too, these people know everything about us, I'm afraid it won't be that simple." ”

Xia Meng thought for a moment and said, "The woman in black in the lead is proficient in disguise techniques. ”

Eldest Sun Yun frowned, "How do you know?" ”

Xia Mengning said: "A few days ago, Wu Qing found that the girl Jiu'er next to me seemed to have changed a little, and I didn't take it to heart, but I heard the sound of someone going out late that night, and when the sound disappeared, I went to Jiu'er's house to see, Jiu'er really disappeared, and Zhulian, who slept together, was also given ecstasy incense, and later, I tried several times, and finally knew that she was not really Jiu'er, but I didn't even notice it at all, and it was enough to see that the person's disguise technique was quite famous. ”

Hearing this, Eldest Sun Yun said, "She may have found out about you at that time, and knew that the Ning clan was going to send someone to kill you, so she planned it." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "I noticed a unique fragrance on her body, I just felt familiar at the time, but I couldn't tell where I smelled it, but now I suddenly remembered that it was the same smell on a person's body a few days ago." ”

Saying that, Xia Mengning looked at the eldest grandson Yun, "That day in the chrysanthemum banquet in the palace, I smelled the body of the side concubine Meng Xianya, and it was such a smell. ”

Eldest Sun Yun frowned, "Is that her?" It shouldn't be possible, she doesn't know martial arts, today's woman in black is strong in martial arts, and when I fought with her, her internal strength was also amazingly deep. ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, "I'm not saying that the woman in black is her, but it must have something to do with her, I'm just preliminarily guessing now that the woman in black must be from the same place as Meng Xianya." ”

Eldest Sun Yun was shocked and said, "You mean that the man in black is from the south?" ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "I just have a preliminary suspicion, if she is also from the south, then everything today can make sense, the north has captured the south, so that the originally rich south has become the territory of the north, although the current king of the south is all obedient to the north, but it is difficult to guarantee that he is really surrendered in his heart, he may have privately cultivated a group of dead soldiers or people with strong martial arts, specifically to deal with the north, but now the strength of the north is much stronger than any country, the king of the south wants to rebel, but he is powerless, Therefore, he specially sent someone to pretend to be from the Western Regions, come to assassinate, provoke a conflict between the northern and western regions, and when the northern country and the Western Regions go to war, he can also reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, Changsun Yun fell into deep contemplation, and seeing that Changsun Yun was silent, Xia Mengning said again: "I suspect that there are spies from enemy countries around us. ”

Eldest Sun Yun raised his head sharply and said, "They must know about the relationship between you and me, and they want to provoke me by killing you, and I am a person close to the emperor's uncle, so I will naturally make a proposal to the emperor's uncle to raise an army to attack the Western Regions......"

Xia Mengning nodded, "They can master so many details, interlocking, if it weren't for the people around us who had problems, they would only be immortals." ”

Eldest Sun Yun remembered that he was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly told Xia Mengning about it.

After listening to this, Xia Mengning's expression became solemn, "It seems that this person's power is much more powerful than we imagined, and he even dares to break into the palace, which should not be underestimated." ”

Eldest Sun Yun said: "If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to guard against it." ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's okay, the reason why Nanguo used such a roundabout way to assassinate is because he is afraid that others will know his identity, so after this failure, they will also stop for a while, after all, if they are really found out, they will really die." ”

Eldest Sun Yun nodded, "Then we have to pay more attention to the people around us." ”

Xia Mengning also nodded, her face solemn.

After more than a month, Xia Mengning's injuries gradually improved, and she stayed quietly in the bamboo branch garden every day to regulate her internal management, since the last incident, Xia Mengning felt more and more that only when she became strong could she protect the people around her.

After Jiu'er woke up, she couldn't tell what happened, Xia Mengning knew that it must have been that person who used other methods to make Jiu'er forget what happened at that time.

Xia Chuanyuan has two sons, they are the eldest son Xia Zhihan, born to the Fang family, and the eldest son of the Xiangfu, who is now in the Far South military camp and does not go home all the year round, and the second son Xia Zhishen, born to the fifth aunt Wei, is Xia Mengran's elder brother, and is also older than Xia Mengning and Xia Mengyou.

When she went to Yong'an Hall in the morning to ask for peace, Xia Mengning saw her cousin who had not met for many days, Xia Zhishen was fifteen this year, and he was as old as Xia Mengxi. It's just that when he was young, he was sent to study in other places and was away from home all the year round.

"I've seen Daddy." Xia Meng's body was blessed, and when he saw Xia Chuanyuan's happy face, he guessed that there must be something good.

Sure enough, Xia Chuanyuan first excused Xia Mengning's courtesy, and then said to Xia Mengning: "This is your second brother, who just came back from studying in other places a few days ago. ”

Xia Mengning nodded hurriedly, "I've seen the second brother." ”

Xia Zhishen's appearance is somewhat similar to Xia Chuanyuan, but because he has been wandering outside for many years, the whole person has a sense of maturity that has gone through vicissitudes, and a pair of deep eyes looked at Xia Mengning in front of him, and bent slightly.

Seeing Xia Mengning saluting to herself, Xia Zhishen immediately bowed down and said, "The third sister is polite, I haven't seen you for many years, and the third sister has become a big girl." ”

Xia Mengning lowered her head and made a shy appearance, everything was natural and just right.

Xia Chuanyuan saw that his children were all polite, and he was very relieved, and asked, "Ning'er, you didn't come out of the house a few days ago, are you getting better these days?" ”

Xia Mengning didn't dare to alarm Xia Chuanyuan and the others because of her injury, so she had to say that she was unwell, Xia Chuanyuan was worried and sent doctors to see her several times, but how could Xia Mengning let other doctors come to see her, so she excused herself and said that she couldn't see the living, so she prevaricated the past.

Seeing that Xia Chuanyuan cared about him so much, Xia Mengning also felt warm in her heart, so she hurriedly said: "Back to Daddy's words, my daughter is completely fine, thank you Daddy for your care." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll ask the housekeeper to send you some good bird's nest every month in the future, and you usually drink a little, so as not to be so weak all the time." ”

Xia Mengning nodded: "Daddy Xie." ”

After Xia Chuanyuan finished speaking, he saw Xia Zhishen beside him, and said with a smile: "There is another happy event today, your second brother came back from studying abroad, and he won the list in the imperial examination just now. ”

Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, and then she understood why Xia Chuanyuan's expression was so happy today, it turned out to be like this.

Following the congratulations, Xia Mengning's eyes rolled, and he quickly thought of these recent things, and then said: "Daddy, this is a great happy event, the second brother is so talented, it can also be said that he has won glory for his father's face, according to his daughter's view, Daddy should set up a banquet to entertain the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, firstly, let everyone know that our house is full of talents, and secondly, you can also take the opportunity to introduce the second brother to everyone, what does Daddy think?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, touched the beard on his chin and smiled: "Very good, very good!" As he spoke, he said to Xiao Liuzi: "Just do what Miss San said, send invitations to various mansions, and let them all come to see my son in Xia, hahaha!" ”

Xiao Liuzi took the order, and Xia Mengning also said goodbye.

Walking out of Yong'an Hall with Jiu'er, Jiu'er immediately said: "Miss, this second young master has been hit by the list, maybe the fifth miss and the fifth aunt will be proud." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, tightened the clothes on her body, it was late autumn, the weather was gradually getting colder, seeing that winter was coming, Xia Mengning calculated, her aunt is now five months pregnant, and she will not give birth until next spring at the earliest.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning tilted her head and said: "Jiu'er, look at these things that have happened in the house recently, which one was interfered by the fifth aunt, Xia Mengran is a shrewd master, he has been taught by the fifth aunt since he was a child to know how to advance and retreat, but he lost at a young age and has less experience, so it is inevitable that he will not be able to control himself, but what about the second brother, he is different, he is fifteen years old, and he will be majestic and proud if he is another person, but you see that he is just in front of his father, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he has not even shown a little smugness, which shows that the depth of this person's city is definitely not to be underestimated. ”

Jiu'er listened, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Miss, do you want to say that the most powerful person in our house is the fifth aunt?" ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and the two walked under the big willow tree in front, Xia Mengning said: "The Fang family is so jealous and domineering, it is really powerful to be able to give birth to a son under her nose and raise it safely, not to mention that so many winds and waves have not involved her recently, just say that her pair of children, you can see the scheming of the Wei family, which is really unfathomable." ”

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, he saw Xia Zhishen coming out of Yong'an Hall, saw Xia Mengning's master and servant, smiled, and walked towards this side.

"Second brother!"

Xia Mengning shouted first, "I haven't congratulated the second brother on winning the list, Ning Er has congratulated me here." ”

Xia Zhishen smiled, "It's okay, the third sister's mind, the second brother's heart." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "If it's okay, Ning'er will go back first." ”

Raising her head, Xia Mengning looked at Xia Zhishen, and saw that the other party was staring at her without shying away, there was a flash of playfulness in her eyes, Xia Mengning had some doubts in her heart, but she still hurriedly walked back.

Xia Zhishen stood in place, staring at Xia Mengning's distant back, and smiled slightly.
