Chapter 30: The Feast (Part II)
Seeing this, Xian Chen didn't care about the pain in his legs, rushed to the window and pushed open the window on the east side, and overturned a few tables and chairs, and the teacups and teapots shattered to the ground. Before he had time to think, Xian Chen grabbed a piece of broken porcelain and slashed it on his neck, and after a sharp pain, he felt a large piece of his neck wet.
Vice General Nie and Xiao Yu'er who were present were shocked, but soon Vice General Nie reacted, looked at her with admiration and admiration, and then pulled out his sword and made an attack posture.
It was too late, and almost at the same time, the door to the side hall was pushed open. Princess Anping was the leader, Mrs. Xiao looked solemn beside her, and there were many gloating faces, Xianchen didn't know much, but Ning Luotong and Zhuang Shuhong guessed that they couldn't get out of this matter. The two of them were also shocked when they saw Xianchen lying in a mess, and the blood on her neck was bright red and dazzling, as if everything was different from what she expected, and she didn't need the words she had prepared, she just looked at them dumbfounded.
Mrs. Xiao was the first to react, quickly ran forward and hugged Xianchen, crying and shouting, "Yue'er, what's wrong?" ”
Princess Anping has seen a big battle, and she is quick to call the doctor.
Xian Chen covered the wound with a handkerchief, and cried weakly: "Just now the two of us walked here, I suddenly felt a pain in my legs, so I came in to rest, who knew that I met bandits and was taken hostage, fortunately, this righteous man rescued me, otherwise ......"
Hearing this, Adjutant General Nie put his sword back into the sheath, hugged his fists and said: "This young lady is frightened, I am the deputy general of the security battalion, responsible for the security of this banquet, I just saw a bad guy sneak in, track it here, I don't want to be a step late, let the young lady be injured." After speaking, Vice Admiral Nie turned around and knelt down to Princess Anping to plead guilty: "The protection of the lower officials is not good, so the guests are injured, please ask the lady to confess." ”
Princess Anping glanced at Ning Luotong beside her with her spare eyes, and then said to Vice General Nie generously and decently: "This is not the time to say this, since the gangsters have not yet been captured, then Deputy Lao Nie will continue to hunt down, here are all female dependents, and you have a lot of inconvenience here." ”
Vice General Nie ordered to get up, glanced at Ning Luotong in disappointment and disgust, and was about to retreat. At this moment, Zhuang Shuhong, who was beside Ning Luotong, said without knowing whether she was alive or dead: "Madam, we have all seen this lonely man and widow living in the same room, and those who can tolerate them in a few words can easily excuse themselves." ”
Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "This young lady is conclusive, so dare to ask what you saw?" Is it a private lecture or a disheveled person? ”
Zhuang Shuhong argued strongly: "It's just that we came in time, and if we have selflessly taught and received, we have to search before we can make a conclusion." ”
Mrs. Xiao: "You ......"
Vice General Nie said with a disdainful expression: "Nonsense, I am a close friend of the Marquis of Wen'an, how could I do such an immoral thing in the Marquis of Wen'an's Mansion, and I have never seen this young lady before today." ”
Ning Luozhi looked very embarrassed and said: "Vice General Nie is angry, and only then did someone come to report that there was something wrong with the Ning Frost Pavilion, so my mother came to check it, since I bumped into you and Miss Yan are alone, men and widows are here...... It is also appropriate to ask one or two. ”
Vice Admiral Nie snorted and turned his head away, not wanting to say anything more to her.
The grandmother with the Chinese character face before led the doctor in to bandage the fine dust, but fortunately only cut the flesh and skin, but did not hurt the blood vessels. Princess Anping ordered someone to clean up the side hall immediately, all the ladies sat down, and the ladies stood behind them, only Xianchen sat at the end of the seat due to injury.
Princess Anping didn't seem to have the meaning of turning a big thing into a small thing, and continued: "Where did you just talk about it?" ”
Zhuang Shuhong replied with bad intentions: "Returning to the woman, I am talking about searching for selfless giving and receiving. ”
"Since Miss Ning said that someone will report it, who is this person? How is it reported? I've only been here for a moment, how can I get you all here and catch you all right? "Xianchen doesn't want to mention Ning Luofang's deception to himself, and no one believes him when he says it, so he can only attack head-on at this moment.
"Miss Yan, you don't believe me, you can't disbelieve my mother if you don't believe me in time, then my mother was with me when the next person returned." Ning Luotong naturally knew that Princess Anping would definitely defend her in full view of everyone.
"But no, Madame knows everything, you still dare to deny it." On the fox and the fake tiger, Zhuang Shuhong recognized the second, and no one dared to admit the first.
For a while, public opinion was attacking Xian Chen, and Mrs. Xiao was forced to be speechless after several arguments, and she almost wanted to vomit blood, and at this time, a majestic voice with anger said: "The bandits who broke into the Hou Mansion have been captured and detained, and this matter is just a misunderstanding." ”
Everyone looked for prestige, and it was Wen Anhou himself who spoke, and the ladies present for a while all blushed, bowed their heads and were silent, and secretly longed to be noticed.
Ning Zheyu walked in with a high spirit, glanced at Xianchen almost undetectably, and went straight forward to salute Princess Anping: "Mother is frightened, the bandits have been arrested, mother can be relieved." ”
That being the case, you can rest assured. It's just a misunderstanding, but poor Miss Yan was frightened again and again, and she must make up for it. and Vice General Nie was involved for no reason, which also made me feel uneasy. Seeing Ning Zhe appear, Princess Anping knew that Yan Xianchen was saved today, and she was angry that her son cared so much about this concubine, and she was angry that her daughter was so unstable and had such an ugly plan. But on the surface, he still looks loving and amiable.
"Yes, Vice General Nie and Miss Yan have been wronged in the Hou Mansion, and the child will compensate for it. It's just that...... Since the Hou Mansion has a subordinate who catches the wind and shadows, and asks my mother to hand them over to me, I will punish them severely. At this moment, Ning Zhen stared at Ning Luofang, his eyes were extremely terrifying. Ning Luotong was so frightened that she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, and she was even more resentful in her heart, why did Yunyi and her brother protect her like this.
Hearing this, Vice General Nie and Xian Chen got up and thanked each other without mentioning it.
Xian Chen only glanced at Ning Zhe at this moment, he was not as warm as usual, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was solemn, which made people a little scared. At the same time, I am also very grateful in my heart, if there is no him to save the scene today, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good. Seeing that Ning Zhe's eyes were also on her, he bowed slightly, but this small movement made the wound on her neck bruise again, and she didn't feel that her brows were furrowed.
Ning Zhi saw that her snow-white gauze was oozing blood, and she was distressed, and tried her best to calm down and said to Princess Anping: "Mother, Miss Yan's wound still needs to be properly treated, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
Everyone whispered when they heard this, Princess Anping coughed lightly and was about to speak, but Mrs. Xiao said with a non-negligible beak: "No need, I'll go back to Yanfu immediately." After saying that, he simply said goodbye to everyone, and then he and Xiao Yu'er helped Xianchen out.
Today, it was the second time that Ning Zhe had helplessly watched Xian Chen's back disappear in front of him.
Xian Chen walked out of the Frost Pavilion and saw Wen Ju waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and knew that Ning Zhe was attracted by her, and nodded gratefully to her. However, Wen Ju only saluted respectfully, and couldn't see any other expressions. Mrs. Xiao was inconvenient to disturb General Yan, so she led Xian Chen back to the house by carriage to heal her injuries.
