Chapter Seventy-Six: The Most Interesting Part
The arrow pierced through the sky, with a sharp whistling sound, and the target was directly aimed at Rongwang Luo Qianmo!
At the same time, a scream rang out: "Princess, be careful! ”
With this scream, a figure also slammed down from the ground!
The guards also shouted: "Protect Lord Rong!" ”
It's just that, as if in the panicked scene, Bai Youlan didn't move, and King Rong's footsteps didn't have a trace of panic, but he just raised his hand slightly and waved his sleeve, and the arrow that shot was swept to the ground by King Rong lightly.
Only the figure who swooped over to protect Bai Youlan, who couldn't stop his body, still pounced in front of Bai Youlan, but when he was about to pounce on her, he was blocked by an arm that came out!
That arm was stretched out by Mo Lin, he watched expressionlessly as the man hit his arm, and then was bounced back and sat on the ground, only then did he bow slightly and said, "Please forgive Concubine Chu!" ”
Just now, King Rong Luo Qianmo happened to staggered by Bai Youlan, and the arrow seemed to be aimed at King Rong on the surface, but in fact it was not.
This is King Jing's Mansion, and King Rong's Luo Qianmo came to the door of King Jing's Mansion by accident, how could someone ambush and assassinate King Rong here!
However, no matter who the archery shooter was just now, who was the target, it was really bold to assassinate him at the gate of the palace in the blue sky and daylight! King Rong's guards and King Jing's palace guards had already been dispatched.
The assassin only shot this arrow, and there was no movement, thinking that he had already fled far away when he saw that the blow was missed, and Bai Youlan didn't care if those guards could catch the assassin, but looked at Chu Yuyue who was sitting on the ground with deep eyes, and didn't say a word.
When she got out of the carriage before, she saw Chu Yuyue and Chu Yuying, the two side concubines, at the door, Bai Youlan had a strange intuition, these two people had never left the house, and they had never seen the two of them go out to greet Luo Mingxuan, could it be that he, the person who grabbed her husband with them, would have a bigger face!
Just when he was puzzled, an assassin suddenly appeared, and the strangest thing was that Chu Yuyue was obviously a weak woman who was powerless, and she could react so quickly, almost swooping down at the same time as the arrow came to "protect" her?
Didn't she see clearly, there was a person between the direction of the arrow and Bai Youlan, that was King Rong Luo Qianmo, if you want to talk about danger, King Rong should be more dangerous, and if you want to protect King Rong, you should protect King Rong!
The guards all shouted "Protect Lord Rong", and only Chu Yuyue shouted "Princess, be careful!" ”
And Chu Yuyue suddenly hit Mo Lin's arm that was as hard as iron and stone, rebounded and fell to the ground, and was also a little dazed, and only when Bai Youlan's gaze fell on her did she react, with a deliberate expression of joy on her face, and said, "The princess is fine, it's really good!" ”
It's just that Bai Youlan saw a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
Luo Mingxuan has only been at the border for less than half a month, are these people so unwilling to be lonely! Bai Youlan smiled coldly in her heart, without any emotion on her face, and looked at King Rong.
King Rong stood with his back straight, his clothes dancing slightly in the breeze, and there was no anger or curiosity on his face, as if what he had just swung to the ground was not an arrow that could kill people, but a falling petal.
Seeing Bai Youlan's gaze looking over, Rong Wang Luo Mingxuan gave a light salute, and said in a pleasant voice: "The fifth sister-in-law is safe and sound, and Qianmo said goodbye." ”
He didn't even go to find out who came to assassinate him, or assassinate Bai Youlan, so he turned around and got into the carriage not far away unhurriedly, and left directly.
Looking at King Rong's every move, Bai Youlan's eyes narrowed slightly, if she was not mistaken, when King Rong left, his footsteps paused slightly when he passed by the arrow!
Bai Youlan motioned to Mo Lin to take advantage of no one's attention, quietly picked up the arrow on the ground, and looked at Chu Yuyue, who was helped up by the maid.
"Thank you so much for sacrificing your life to save Concubine Chu."
"The princess is polite, the concubine just did what she should do."
"Yes."
Sakura smiled with a smile, and Bai Youlan said indifferently: "I'm afraid that someone will even do what shouldn't be done." ”
After that, Bai Youlan ignored Chu Yuyue's appearance that had changed color but tried her best to hide, and Shi Shiran entered the palace.
In King Jing's Mansion, Bai Youlan sat down in the hall, her fingers rubbing her fingers on the rouge gouache she bought, her eyes looked at the rouge box as if she was looking at some treasure, and she didn't look at the few people standing down.
Seeing that Bai Youlan didn't seem to have noticed anything at all, Chu Yuyue's face slowly returned to normal, she quietly glanced at Chu Yuying a few times, exchanged a look with her, and then the two sisters slowly stepped forward together and saluted: "The princess has been in the palace for a long time, and the two concubines are very worried. ”
Bai Youlan was silent, as if she hadn't heard, and it took a while to take her eyes off the boxes of rouge, her gaze swept over them, and finally landed on the butler Anfu.
This Anfu has been relatively peaceful since she was poisoned and sunbathed, and she used the excuse of inquiring about the affairs of the house to keep him busy in the dark.
It's just that......
"Butler Ann."
"What does the princess command?"
Bai Youlan raised her eyebrows and looked at An Fu, and said, "This princess remembers that someone once said that the prince has an order, and no one is allowed to wander around in the palace?" ”
Hearing this, An Fu hesitated slightly and replied, "Yes." ”
"So, what's going on?"
"This ......"
"The concubine is just waiting for the princess at the door!"
Chu Yuyue immediately said anxiously: "Why is it just hanging out in the palace?" You are the princess, and you can't frame us like this! ”
Slowly hooking her lips and smiling, Bai Youlan asked softly: "Concubine Chu, are you too anxious?" Is this princess talking about the two of you? ”
Chu Yuyue was stunned for a moment, Bai Youlan really didn't say who it was, but wasn't her meaning obvious?
"Steward An, let the maids do things as usual, without any special preparations, this princess can't bear to watch them walk around."
It turned out to be talking about those maids and subordinates who were busy because Bai Youlan returned to the house, Chu Yuyue quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but in a blink of an eye, she became resentful, and she actually wanted to give their sisters a disgrace when she came up, it was really hateful!
When Anfu went to arrange for those subordinates, Mo Lin hurriedly walked in from outside the door, whispered a few words to Bai Youlan with a dark face, and presented the arrow that had been in his hand to Bai Youlan.
With a smile in her eyes, Bai Youlan looked at the arrow in her hand and smiled even more brightly, and slowly put the arrow on the table, but didn't say anything immediately, just waited for An Fu to arrange the next person, and then returned here again, then looked at Chu Yuyue, but unexpectedly met her gaze staring straight at the arrow.
Xu didn't expect that the ordinary arrows shot by this assassin would actually be taken by Morin, and there was obvious surprise in her eyes.
"It seems that Concubine Chu is very interested in this arrow, isn't it interesting to look at it?"
Chu Yuyue immediately denied it: "No...... No, no! ”
"However, the princess was very amused to it, for it was not an ordinary arrow, but from the palace. But that's not the most interesting part of it, do you know what's the most interesting? ”
Knowing that Youlan had a very bright smile on her face, but for some reason, Chu Yuyue felt a chill in her heart, and she didn't dare to look at her again, lowered her eyes, and replied softly: "I don't know about the concubine." ”
"The most interesting part is that it is an arrow shot by an assassin, but the tip of the arrow has been removed from the barb and smoothed a little, so that the arrow is not easy to penetrate the flesh, and the damage to people is minimized. Isn't that interesting, you say? ”
"Grunt", Chu Yuyue heard Bai Youlan's slow voice, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but it was unusually loud because of the silence around her.
She also immediately realized her gaffe, nodded her head randomly, and responded: "It's funny, it's interesting." ”
At this time, not only Bai Youlan looked at her, but even her sister Chu Yuying cast a beam of surprised gaze and hurriedly took it back.
Seeing this, Bai Youlan laughed again, and secretly said in her heart that Chu Yuyue even hid her own sister, but she didn't know what her purpose was for doing this, and what kind of benefits it had?
If there was no unexpected appearance of King Rong in front of the palace and disrupted the development of things, would the next thing be that Chu Yuyue pounced and blocked an arrow for her?
Sacrificing her life to save the princess is indeed a good reputation, and Bai Youlan will treat her well and reasonably.
But even if this incident didn't happen, Bai Youlan didn't take action against them, wouldn't it be useless for her to do such a thing?
It's definitely not going to be that simple!
And Chu Yuyue peeked at Bai Youlan and saw that Bai Youlan had been smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, and suddenly there was a panic in her heart, but she clearly heard Bai Youlan say in her ears: "Concubine Chu, do you know why the assassin did this?" ”
Chu Yuyue's eyes looked around in a panic, as if she wanted to find something, but when her gaze fell on the arrow, she suddenly calmed down.
Even if the arrow is tampered with, so what? It has nothing to do with her!
A very puzzled expression appeared on her face, and Chu Yuyue replied: "The princess's question is getting more and more strange, the concubine stays at home in the palace all day long, embroidering and embroidering to make a female red, how can she know these things?" ”
She was thinking about how she would refute Bai Youlan if she continued to question her, but she didn't expect to see Bai Youlan nodding in agreement with her words.
"Also, how would Concubine Chu know about the assassin."
Bai Youlan's words blocked all the remaining words of Chu Yuyue in her stomach, making her very depressed, but she also let go of the heart she had been carrying and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that before she finished her breath, she heard Bai Youlan's voice suddenly turn cold: "So, should Concubine Chu explain......
