Chapter 14: Assassination
CHAPTER XIV
The camp was brightly lit, and as soon as Ye Anan entered the tent, he saw Tang Huai sitting straight with a guqin in front of him. He slowly wiped the strings, his fingers were slender, his bones were distinct, and he looked whiter and whiter against the black lacquer guqin, and the candlelight shone like jade.
"Yong'an hasn't seen the adults for many days, and I heard that the adults didn't go to the dinner tonight, so I came to see them." Ye Anan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Adults also like to play the piano? ”
"I don't like it." Tang Huai didn't look at her, lowered his eyes and gently plucked a string and said lightly, "Listening to the sound can know the state of mind." "If you are guessed, you will be caught in weakness.
Ye Anan smiled slightly: "Practicing the piano can also nourish the heart." ”
Tang Huai squinted at her when he heard this: "You are becoming more and more bold." ”
"Yongan is dedicated to the factory, what he says is what he thinks, and he will not hide anything from the factory, so he is naturally bolder than others." Ye Anan had a smile in his eyes, full of innocence and innocence.
Tang Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at her with a smile: "I hope so." ”
Ye Anan smiled shyly: "Naturally." ”
"Since the princess is here tonight, then please ask the princess to taste the sound of our piano."
"It's an honor."
Ye Anan sat on the side of the desk and lit a pillar of incense.
Count the hours, the dinner is almost over. Thinking that something big would happen next, Ye Anxin thumped in peace.
I hope everything goes well, Ye An thought with peace of mind, if Concubine De doesn't die, she can make persistent efforts next time, but at least tonight, her little life must be saved.
Ye Anan is indeed timid and cowardly, she doesn't want to explain here.
The sound of the piano comes to mind leisurely, and the fragrance tugs at the heartstrings.
Ye Anan was a little surprised, she didn't expect Tang Huai's piano sound to be melodious and brisk, like a ring, beads falling on a jade plate, without the slightest sadness or bloody killing intent.
Is he in a good mood right now?
Ye Anan looked confused.
Tang Huai looked at the girl who was a little stunned from the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
Outside the tent, there was a long wind, and a dark shadow flashed.
Tang Huai said lightly: "Has the princess ever seen blood?" ”
Snow?
Ye Anan listened to the melodious sound of the piano and forgot for a moment that the person in front of him was the ruthless and vicious Dongchang factory, not the young man, and said dumbfoundedly: "I've seen it, but I don't like snow, it's too cold." ”
"......" Tang Huai was choked for a moment, and then sighed, "It seems that it is me and I who overestimate your intelligence." ”
Karma?
Ye Anan blinked, and before he could speak, he saw that suddenly a long wind swept into the camp tent, and rows of candles were blown out.
Facing the moonlight, a black shadow with a sword flew into the tent and stabbed straight at Tang Huai.
Tang Huai didn't seem to know, and was still stroking the qin.
Ye An shouted in peace of mind, the opportunity has come! got up and quickly pounced, and opened his arms to block in front of Tang Huai: "Be careful, adults!" ”
In the next second, the long sword stabbed into his chest, and the sharp pain came instantly.
Ye An'an's face turned pale, lying in Tang Huai's arms and he didn't dare to move.
It hurts! How spicy it hurts! If I had known, I wouldn't have saved him!
When the assassin saw that he had not been stabbed, he drew his sword and stabbed again. Ye An'an's eyes widened, big brother, if you draw your sword, I will really die of blood!
Although the pain was unbearable and he couldn't use his strength, in order to survive, Ye Anan tried his best to hold down the sword body and prevent him from drawing the sword.
At this moment, a pair of hands as white as jade pressed the sword body with slight force, and the long sword suddenly cracked.
Instead of breaking into two sections, the sword body was broken one by one, creating cracks, and then shattering in an instant, and the entire sword turned into a pile of fragments.
The Assassin was also shocked to see this, and immediately pulled a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at him.
Seeing that the dagger was only an inch from his neck, the Assassin found that no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer pierce it, or even move his whole body.
What kind of sorcery is this?!
The Assassin was shocked and tried his best to break free, only to find that he could not function any internal strength.
He didn't see it, but Ye Anan could see it clearly.
In the moonlight, thin threads against the glimmer wrapped around his wrists, waist, and ankles, tightly strangling his joints like marionettes, controlling his whole body.
Is that...... String.
Ye An'an looked at Tang Huai, his expression was hidden in the darkness, and she could only see the delicately sharpened chin and her lips as bright red as cinnabar.
The next moment there was another sharp pain in her chest, and her eyes went dark and fell into darkness.
The Assassin knew that his plan had failed, so he tried to bite the poison sac in his mouth, but Tang Huai's fingers hooked lightly, and he felt that he could not move in his mouth.
"It is said that eating a trench grows a wisdom, last time you fled in embarrassment, I thought there would be some new way, but I didn't expect it to be this trick." Tang Huai said lazily, "But our family's patience has been exhausted, so I won't play with you." ”
A team of guards hurried to stand outside the tent, and said to the leader: "My subordinates are late for rescue, please forgive the factory father." ”
"Take people down and serve them well." The voice inside the tent paused, "The princess is injured, call the royal doctor." ”
......
When Ye Anan woke up again, he looked at the top of the unfamiliar bed, his eyes were a little confused, and he moved slightly, but found a sharp pain in his chest. The pain cleared her head a lot, and she realized that she was still in the camp.
"Princess, are you awake?" A voice of surprise came. Chun'er looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Princess, you can be considered awake." ”
Ye Anan wanted to speak but found that his voice was hoarse: "What's wrong?" ”
"Have you forgotten? During the spring hunt, an assassin sneaks up and you get stabbed with a sword. The imperial doctor said that you were already weak, and this time you almost hurt your heart, if you don't treat it in time, I'm afraid it will be ......" Chun'er said that tears welled up again, "The emperor was furious, and sent the factory prince to investigate the case thoroughly, and the assassin who killed a thousand knives was imprisoned in the celebrant prison." Chun'er took a sip, "It's not a pity that this kind of person should be killed with a thousand knives!" ”
"Where are we now?"
Chun'er said: "You were weak at the time, and the road back to the palace was bumpy, and I was afraid that your body would not be able to bear it. The master of the factory made a pilgrimage to the emperor and asked you to recuperate in his nearby house. ”
"Where is the factory now?"
"Your Excellency has returned to the capital."
Ye Anan nodded, then thought of Concubine De again, and hurriedly asked, "How is Concubine De over there?" ”
Chun'er paused: "Concubine De has also returned to the palace."
"Concubine De is not dead?!" Ye Anan's eyes widened.
"It's not dead, but it's almost like death." Chun'er sighed, "Princess, you don't know, the guard who had an affair with Concubine De somehow ran to the racecourse, pretended to be a retinue eunuch at the dinner party and attempted to assassinate Concubine De, but failed and was arrested. He shook out all the things with Concubine De in public, and even said what color Concubine De's belly pocket was. Chun'er said that her face was a little shy, "It is said that Concubine De sent someone to kill his entire family, and this guard didn't even want his life at this time, and committed suicide after denouncing Concubine De." Later, the hospital found out that Concubine De was pregnant for five months, and what the guard said happened to match. The emperor was furious, and directly kicked Concubine De to see red, and she was beaten into the cold palace and never allowed to come out. The cold palace is a damp and cold place, and Concubine De has just had a miscarriage, so she has no food or drink, so it's a matter of time. ”
Ye Anan was silent for a moment when he heard this: "You go down first, I'm a little tired." ”
"Yes."
