Lin Shutong didn't go far, and was caught up by Pei Deyin, who was walking like a fly.

"Sister Tong, don't be angry, what Fang just said is just small talk, I don't mean anything else......"

Lin Shutong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Pei Deyin: "The princess is serious, how the princess wants to do it is not something that the courtiers can put their beaks." ”

Because of Fu Jiao's relationship, Pei Deyin has always regarded Lin Shutong as her own sister, and she is better than the half-lord in the palace.

But now, Lin Shutong is indifferent and detached, a "princess" and a "courtier", deliberately opening the relationship between the two, and Pei Deyin feels very uncomfortable.

can empathize, if she knew that the people close and trusted around her not only opposed her and Ye Xiyang being together, but also wanted to break them up, she would definitely be very angry, and even reacted more fiercely than Lin Shutong.

Thinking about it this way, her guilt for Lin Shutong is even deeper, because she is too selfish, only thinking about herself, but ignoring Lin Shutong's intentions.

She could only explain: "Sister Tong, I'm just talking, but I haven't done anything. I can't interfere in my brother's affairs, don't get me wrong. ”

Lin Shutong didn't, but said: "It's cold, princess, please go back, don't get cold." ”

Pei Deyin hurriedly reached out to pull her: "Let's go back together." ”

Lin Shutong took a step back, avoided her outstretched hand, and said coldly: "Don't bother the princess." ”

Lin Shutong repeatedly refused, but Pei Deyin couldn't, so he could only leave first.

The maid who was far behind saw Pei Deyin leaving, so she stepped forward and asked, "Girl, shall we go back?" ”

Lin Shutong glanced at the food box in her hand, and said lightly: "I'll go back first, you send the pastries to the second sister-in-law and then come back, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

The maid responded, and hurriedly walked to the direction of the carriage where Zhou Jingrong was riding.

Lin Shutong stood still and didn't move, a cold wind hit, blowing up the snow on the ground, falling on her face and not entering her collar, and the knife-like cold air went straight into her heart.

What Lin Shutong said was true, she was not angry with Pei Deyin.

She just suddenly realized that no matter how good she and Pei Deyin were, the difference in their identities was always there, and they couldn't be crossed.

Pei Deyin doesn't like her, so she can even ask about her marriage and take care of it.

She's not angry, she's just a little sad.

And what made her really angry, even angry, and couldn't let go of it was Fu Jiao, her mother.

She thought that Fu Jiao's opposition to her relationship with Shizi was out of her mother's instinctive love for her daughter.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiao and King An still have such a past, it turned out that she hindered her daughter's marriage for her own sake, how ridiculous.

Another cold wind rose, and Lin Shutong's originally sad eyes gradually became firm. She tightened her cloak and did not return to the carriage, but walked in the opposite direction.

"There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty! ”

"Protect the Queen Mother!"

"Protect the Queen!"

……

Zhou Jingrong had just received the food box sent by Lin Shutong, and was about to get into the car to eat some snacks to cushion his stomach, but suddenly heard a noisy sound not far away.

She had a psychological shadow on the word assassin, and subconsciously grabbed Fu Yunshen's sleeve.

Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes slightly, touched the top of Zhou Jingrong's hair, and comforted: "You get in the car first, there are guards from the Royal Forest Army all around here, and it is very safe." ”

Zhou Jingrong said worriedly: "What about you? ”

Fu Yunshen showed a reassuring smile: "I'll go and see the situation, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Zhou Jingrong knew that she couldn't help at this time, so she had to obediently get in the car and wait.

Regardless of the panic outside, Xian Ge and Yayi ran over from other carriages to accompany her, which made her feel a lot more settled.

After a long time, Zhou Jingrong could still hear a few arrows piercing the air and colliding with swords from a distance, but soon there was no sound, and everything was calm, but Fu Yunshen didn't come back for a long time, which couldn't help but make her feel worried.

Zhou Jingrong waited for a while, but she was really tormented, so she simply got out of the car and went to find Fu Yunshen.

She just got out of the car, but saw Fu Jiao walking this way.

Fu Jiao's face was full of sadness and urgency, and she walked in a hurry, walked in front of Zhou Jingrong, looked behind her, and asked, "Can you see Tong Niang?" ”

Zhou Jingrong was surprised: "Didn't she go back?" ”

When Fu Jiao heard this, she chuckled in her heart, her feet were soft, she stumbled and almost fell, but Zhou Jingrong hurriedly supported her.

Fu Jiao's face was pale, her eyes were full of fear, she grabbed Zhou Jingrong's arm and muttered, "Just now, but there are assassins?" Tong Niang, she, will there be anything to do......"

Although Fu Jiao's body was so frightened by her own speculation that she was a little unstable, she couldn't help but clasp Zhou Jingrong's arm.

Zhou Jing endured the pain, let her hold it, and comforted: "Auntie, don't mess with yourself first, there are many female relatives who have gotten out of the car to enjoy the snow, maybe Tongniang met an acquaintance, delayed the time to go back, and there was an assassin attack, where is she hiding, let's go to find it together." ”

Fu Jiao came to her senses and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, she should be hiding, she will be fine, let's go find it." ”

Fu Jiao had no master, and had no direction at all, so she could only let Zhou Jingrong pull her away.

Zhou Jingrong had a clear goal, and Fu Yunshen said that if he went to see the situation, he must go to see the emperor's situation. So as long as she walked in the direction of the Imperial Frame, she should be able to meet him.

Zhou Jingrong expected it well, the emperor just got out of the car to breathe, and borrowed a farmhouse yard to rest.

When she came here, before she could speak, an attendant took the initiative to step forward and asked her to wait for a while before she went to pass the word.

Zhou Jingrong was wondering, she was not an important person, how could this chamberlain be so attentive, Fu Yunshen walked out.

Zhou Jingrong hurriedly greeted him, pulled his arms and shook him, looked at him from head to toe on tiptoe, and said with concern: "How are you, are you injured?" ”

Fu Yunshen stretched out his hand to brush the snow that fell on Zhou Jingrong's shoulder, and saw that she was not even wearing a thick robe, revealing a look of disapproval: "I'm fine, why did you come here, and I don't know how to wear more." ”

Fu Yunshen said, took off the clothes on his body and put them on Zhou Jingrong's body, only then did he see Fu Jiao who was following her, and his face changed slightly: "Why is my aunt here too?" ”

Fu Jiao said eagerly: "Erlang, you look for Tong Niang quickly, I'm afraid that something will happen to her." ”

Fu Yunshen glanced around vigilantly, dragged the two aside, his eyebrows were solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Auntie, don't worry, although Tong Niang has been injured, she is not worried about her life......

Before Fu Yunshen finished speaking, Fu Jiao only heard the words "worry about her life", and her whole body was already paralyzed, and she didn't have time to ask Lin Shutong what happened, so she felt dizzy, her eyes were dark, and she almost fell down.

Fu Yunshen grabbed her arm and lifted her up, his voice was very low, but his voice was very fast: "Tong Niang was injured to save the driver, aunt must not cry when she goes in later, you must cheer up." Tong Niang's injury is not life-threatening, and my aunt should not worry too much. ”

Zhou Jingrong's eyes widened in surprise, was Lin Shutong injured, or was he injured to save the driver? What kind of plot can't be beaten by eight poles?

Fu Jiao listened to what Fu Yunshen said, took a reassuring pill, barely cheered up, and nodded.

Zhou Jingrong helped Fu Jiao and walked in behind Fu Yunshen.

The emperor and queen were all in the hall, and Lin Shutong was treated in the inner room.

The emperor was closing his eyes and recuperating, and when he heard the greetings of Fu Yunshen and others, he slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Fu Jiao, his face was a little warmer: "Madame doesn't need to be polite, Ling Yan has a meritorious rescue and a reward!" ”

Fu Jiao's pale face squeezed out a smile full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

The emperor gave her a seat, but Zhou Jingrong didn't sit down, stood behind Fu Jiao, and put his hand on her shoulder, hoping to transmit strength to her.

Lin Shutong suffered an arrow wound, which was injured in the shoulder, but it was not life-threatening. But for a weak woman like her, the pain was unbearable, and she fainted in the morning, and even the numbness was saved.

So there was no sound coming from inside, and the emperor closed his eyes and pondered, obviously in a bad mood, and the needles could be heard outside.

Zhou Jingrong stood straight in this extremely quiet environment, not even daring to move, for fear of making a little noise to attract attention.

But for some reason, she felt a gaze always hovering over her.

Zhou Jingrong pretended to follow that gaze inadvertently, but saw a woman standing next to the emperor dressed in palace maid clothes and dressed plainly.

After seeing the person's face clearly, Zhou Jingrong was stunned.

That's not ...... Ling Guifei?!

Oh no, it's Concubine Ling now.

But isn't she grounded in the palace and can't go out without an edict? And there is no her in the accompanying palace concubines this time! Why is she here, and what's going on in this palace maid's dress?

Xu is Zhou Jingrong's shocked eyes were too straightforward and enthusiastic, and Concubine Ling raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes full of hatred and resentment.

is really worthy of being the biological mother of the five princes, and the cold eyes of the two people like poisonous snakes are exactly the same.

However, Zhou Jingrong was not afraid of her, and met her gaze with a big smile, and rolled her eyes contemptuously.

Concubine Ling couldn't resist the stimulation the most, and secretly clenched a pair of pink fists when she was angry.

After Lin Shutong bandaged his wounds, he was awake for a short moment, then fell into a coma again and was sent back to the carriage of the Fu Mansion.

Although Fu Jiao endured her excitement in front of the palace, she couldn't stop crying after she went back.

At this point, the snow on the road ahead was almost cleared, and the team marched again.

Zhou Jingrong was afraid that Fu Jiao would be too sad, so she accompanied her to take care of Lin Shutong all the time, but failed to talk to Fu Yunshen.

When they arrived at the palace, everyone was led to their arranged accommodations, and the dinner party originally scheduled for tonight was postponed due to the episode of the assassin on the road.

Lin Shutong was carried around, and woke up bumpy, but his spirit was not good, and he only drank some soup and fell asleep again.

Although Lin Shutong is still very weak, he is fine, he just needs to recuperate, Fu Jiao's mood has eased at this time, and Zhou Jingrong is relieved to go back.

After Zhou Jingrong took a bath, she lay on the bed, physically and mentally exhausted, but she still couldn't stop her curiosity: "How could Concubine Ling be here?" ”

Fu Yunshen hugged her sideways and sneered: "I guess, she originally wanted to do the thing that Tong Niang did." ”
