The figure in the bushes did not stop, and at the same time, with a ding, a weapon collided with Su Qiang's dagger in the air, and the two weapons both fell to the ground.

Su Qiang hid behind the tombstone, and saw his face clearly before the other party hid properly.

"Argon!" She called.

The man in black who had been hiding was actually Agon, the secret guard of the prince of the East Palace. Su Qiang had seen him in the East Palace several times to report to the prince about court affairs, but he didn't want him to be so skilled.

The figure hiding behind the bushes froze for a moment, silent.

"Agung, it's me. Crown Princess. Su Qiang had no choice but to report her identity.

The figure behind the tree still didn't move, and Su Qiang said again: "The prince is seriously injured, if you don't come out again, this palace will ask you for dereliction of duty." ”

Only then did the figure behind the tree confirm Su Qiang's identity and slowly stood up.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" He knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is injured?" How can it hurt? "He looked nervous and worried, not pretending.

Su Qiang stood up from behind the tombstone, looked at him and said coldly, "Tell me why you are here." ”

Agung hesitated for a moment and said, "I am here with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, because there is something to report. ”

"What time is it?"

"The time."

"Why didn't you arrive at the time?" Su Qiang picked up her dagger from the ground and looked at him coldly.

Agung said calmly: "The lowly position has been dragged down. ”

To assassinate the crown prince, of course, you must hold off the secret guards who protect him at all times.

"What is the matter with your appointment?" Su Qiang looked down at the blade thrown by Agung, which was a small money dart. Although it is not large, it is meticulously carved and hard.

Still kneeling on the ground, Agung said earnestly: "I can't say anything about humility. ”

Su Qiang approached Agung, put the dagger on his neck, and said coldly: "If this palace takes advantage of the prince's sleepiness and asks you to execute you, you won't say it?" ”

Agung lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "Although Your Highness asks for sin, you can't say anything about your humble duties." ”

He is obviously strong in martial arts, and now although he is kneeling, he must be able to fight to the death with himself within a few moves. But he knelt so woodenly, letting the dagger cut his neck but kept silent, which made Su Qiang can't help but trust him.

"Get up." Su Qiang put away the dagger and said lightly: "The prince was assassinated by the assassins of the Jin Kingdom, although he is not dead, he only has half a life left. You go and find out the details of these assassins, and when the prince wakes up, you can atone for your sins. ”

"Yes! Humble thanks to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess for not killing. Agung bowed solemnly before he stood up.

"No one else knows about the covenant between Your Highness and the lowly office. The lowly will go to find out how the rumors leaked. Argonne said as he took a few steps back and was about to leave.

The dagger in Su Qiang's hand tapped on the palm of her hand, and said lightly: "You have to be careful yourself." Find out what you find, just report it to the prince, and don't put yourself in a disadvantageous situation. ”

Agung clenched his hands into fists and nodded heavily before quickly leaving.

Something about to be discussed here?

Su Qiang raised her eyes and looked around. This is the tomb of their ancestors, their resting place. Isn't this the intention of disturbing them?

"Li Cong," Su Qiang said coldly, "I saved your life because of me." ”

……

The smell of soju used for disinfection, sandalwood to calm the nerves, white medicine to stop bleeding, and musk to dissolve stasis were mixed together, so that Su Qiang turned around and retreated as soon as she stepped into the dormitory.

The sneer and the palace maid in front of him trembled, and came out of the room with a basin of reddish blood. Seeing Su Qiang, there was a faint and somewhat reverent look in her curtsits.

She rescued the prince from the outside.

Even if it is covered up, this matter will not be able to hide from the subordinates of the East Palace.

instructed Xiaoqing to take her clothes to the clean room, freshen up, and change into the spring clothes that she usually wears in the East Palace. Xiao Qing carefully coiled Su Qiang's hair, and between the strands of her hair, she finally couldn't help but say, "Miss, oh no, Your Highness really impressed the slave maid today." ”

"Really?" Su Qiang pursed her lips.

The two maidservants brought from Shangshu Mansion, she had a better impression of Xiao Qing, who was quick to talk and knew some self-defense skills.

"Miss, how did you suddenly become so powerful!" Xiao Qing recalled the scene of today's fight and couldn't help but stroke his chest.

"Practiced." Su Qiang smiled and said, "Didn't you walk the plum blossom stake recently?" ”

It's just that walking around the plum blossom pile is so powerful?

Xiao Qing's eyes showed envy and puzzlement, but since Miss said so, then it must be Miss God-given and self-taught. Compared with the young lady who only knew how to read and embroider before, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the current young lady was more admirable.

After the two of them came out of the clean room after freshening up, they saw Qu Fang kneeling on the ground, and said in a worried voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Princess to come over." ”

Su Qiang looked at Qu Fang and smiled, walked a few steps slowly, and said, "Just ask this palace to come over, how can the chief steward make such a heavy courtesy." ”

Qu Fang's voice choked and said: "Old slave, thank God, Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, for saving Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess from danger today." The old slave was also ashamed that he had not made proper arrangements today, so that the prince almost ...... "Tears flowed out as he spoke.

Su Qiang ordered Xiao Qing to help Qu Fang up, and said lightly: "The chief steward also knows that this palace is the crown princess, so naturally there is no reason not to save the prince." The prince's recklessness is not the fault of the chief steward. ”

Having said that, Qu Fang knew that she had wanted to assassinate the prince many times. Although the crown prince covered up those things, the investigation of the crown princess did not stop.

Therefore, in Qu Fang's tears, most of them were glad that Su Qiang had opened her mind and did not leave the prince.

Just thinking about it, Su Qiang had already crossed Qu Fang and walked towards the bedroom.

The crown prince Li Cong was lying on his side on the bed and had already woken up. The red on his face had faded by half, his lips were pale, beads of sweat were condensed on his forehead, and his eyes were gloomy, and he looked like the end of a strong crossbow.

For the first time, Su Qiang believed that he did not live long.

"How's your Highness?" After retreating, Su Qiang took a few steps forward and sat on the low stool next to the bed, and said a little jokingly.

Li Cong's eyes lit up slightly, the corners of his lips hooked, and he said gently: "It's okay, I'm waiting for Concubine Ai to feed the medicine to this palace." ”

Sure enough, there was a four-cornered table next to the bed, and a bowl of thick medicinal soup was placed on the small table. The spring day is slightly cool, and the light mist on the medicinal soup is exactly the temperature that can be drunk.

Su Qiang raised her hand to pick up the medicinal soup, looked at Li Cong and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?" ”

"Concubine Ai poisoned the palace at this time, I'm afraid there will be a war. War...... I don't know if the little boy of the Fuguo Mansion has the ability to go to the battlefield. ”

With a snap, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, splashing a thick black medicinal soup.

"What did you say?" Su Qiang stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Cong's throat.
