Zhuo Haoxuan nodded, and got into another carriage with Xia Huaizhong's support. After entering the carriage, he lifted the curtain and looked at Ling Yuxin's carriage, and it happened that Ling Yuxin also lifted the curtain to look at him, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, Zhuo Haoxuan solemnly instructed: "Xin'er, remember not to sneak out of the house alone in the future, it's too dangerous!" ”

Ling Yuxin remembered that she had sneaked out of the house disguised as a man, and at first she had met Zhuo Haoxuan as a man, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and nodded with a red face, "Thank you, Zhuo Gongzi." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan glanced at Ling Yuxin with a smile, said no more, and then instructed Li Qingshan: "Send Miss Ling back to her house quickly, be careful on the road." ”

"Yes." Li Qingshan immediately drove straight to Ling's mansion.

Zhuo Haoxuan said to Xia Huaizhong: "Follow them, Xin'er will return to the palace after arriving at the Ling Mansion safely." ”

Xia Huaizhong hurriedly said: "Master, your face is very bad, you have to hurry back to the palace to heal your injuries, the black-clothed masked man has been trapped by the hussar camp, there is Qingshan to escort you, Miss Ling will be fine, the minister will send you back to the palace first." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan said angrily: "I said it's okay, you have repeatedly resisted the decree today, is it useless to speak when you leave the palace?" ”

Xia Huaizhong hurriedly explained: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is just worried about the emperor's ....." Seeing that Zhuo Haoxuan's face became more and more ugly, he lowered his head in silence and didn't dare to say more.

Zhuo Haoxuan naturally knew in his heart that Xia Huaizhong was for his good, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, he softened his tone and said: "The assassin's swordsmanship is not very good, it has not hurt the vital point, and I have already sealed a few big holes, it is not in the way, if I can't watch Xin'er return home safely, even if I go back, I won't be able to recuperate with peace of mind." Keep up. ”

Xia Huaizhong had no choice but to comply, driving the carriage some distance apart, and secretly following behind Ling Yuxin's carriage.

Ling Yuxin lowered the curtain of the carriage and turned back to the car after the carriage started, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind: How did this Zhuo Gongzi know that he had sneaked out of the house, and he had the impression that he had never mentioned such a thing to him! Then several pictures appeared in his mind one after another, either Zhuo Haoxuan looked at his strange eyes, or Zhuo Haoxuan said some strange words to himself, so Ling Yuxin's heart was suddenly full of doubts.

As soon as she thought of this, Ling Yuxin immediately lifted the curtain of the car window again, but saw that Zhuo Haoxuan's carriage had been left behind, although she was full of doubts, but thinking of the process of sacrificing his life to save himself and saving himself from danger with injuries, he felt that he would definitely not be a bad person, and he would definitely not harm himself, now his wounds were still bleeding, and he urgently needed to see a doctor, so he couldn't go back to delay him for medical treatment in order to ask a few words, and remembered that he had agreed with him that he would send someone to pick her up and take her to his mansion after he recovered from his injuries. It was not too late to ask him if there was any problem, and when he thought of this, he was completely relieved, temporarily let go of the confusion in his heart, and then put down the curtain again, turned around and returned to the car.

But when he turned his head, he saw Bai Zhu staring at him with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help asking, "Bai Zhu, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"Miss, you just said that Zhuo Gongzi was injured because of you, what's the matter? How did you escape the black-clad masked men? ”

Ling Yuxin's expression darkened, and she roughly told Bai Zhu how Zhuo Haoxuan blocked the sword for her and how the two of them avoided the man in black.

After hearing this, Bai Zhu comforted Ling Yuxin and said, "Miss, you don't have to blame yourself too much, I believe that Gongzi Zhuo will be fine, blame those black-clothed masked assassins, I hope that hussar battalion can catch them." ”

"Hussar battalion? Is it the hussar camp that is as famous as the Xiao cavalry camp led by Wei Chifeng? Who led the soldiers? Ling Yuxin couldn't help but be curious.

"It should be, I heard Commander Li and Zhuo Gongzi's entourage say so, it shouldn't be wrong, I don't know what the name of the person who led the troops is, we were anxious to find you as soon as we got out, so I didn't bother to ask Commander Li, but that person looks very young, and listening to his tone, I feel quite arrogant, but we didn't wait for him to make a move and got out, so I don't know what his skills are."

While the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, only to hear Li Qingshan say, "Miss Ling, we have arrived." ”

Bai Zhu and Ling Yuxin got out of the carriage one after another, and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Wei Chifeng who was coming towards them and was obviously stunned, at this time, a thought suddenly flashed in Ling Yuxin's mind, so she turned around and asked Li Qingshan: "Commander Li, why did you suddenly appear when the assassins attacked us?" ”

Li Qingshan's expression froze, and he subconsciously avoided Ling Yuxin's inquiring gaze, and said, "I just happened to pass by, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Ling." ”

"By chance?" Ling Yuxin's tone was obviously suspicious.

Wei Chifeng also heard the conversation between the two of them, and had the intention of helping Li Qingshan break the siege, so he hurriedly interjected and asked, "Commander Li, Miss Ling, why are you here?" Miss Ling, haven't you been in the mansion all the time? How will it come back from the outside? Also, how do you dress like this? ”

Ling Yuxin's expression froze, she glared at Wei Chifeng, then looked at Li Qingshan, and pursed her lips slightly, "As Commander Li said, it just so happens that the two of you are chatting slowly, so we won't bother." After speaking, he pulled Bai Zhu and strode towards the door.

Wei Chifeng was slightly stunned, then glanced at Li Qingshan, and the two of them looked at Ling Yuxin's back and suddenly felt a little crying and laughing.

After Ling Yuxin and Bai Zhu entered the gate, Wei Chifeng asked Li Qingshan: "Commander Li, what happened?" How did you end up with Miss Ling? And what about the assassins she was talking about? The smoke at the city gate has anything to do with you? ”

Li Qingshan was concerned about Zhuo Haoxuan's injury, and hurried back to the palace, although he knew that Wei Chifeng saw Ling Yuxin who sneaked out of the palace and Zhuo Haoxuan who went out of the palace in Weifu yesterday, but he was inconvenient to say that Zhuo Haoxuan left the palace in Weifu, let alone reveal Zhuo Haoxuan's injury privately, so he simply explained: "General Wei, you don't have to ask about Miss Ling's departure from the mansion, and it is inconvenient to say more, as for the smoke at the city gate, there is a group of black-clothed masked people who want to assassinate Miss Ling, and they chased all the way to the city gate, alarming the soldiers guarding the city, Those black-clothed masked people are also rampant enough, and they directly fought with the soldiers defending the city, killing and wounding a lot of soldiers, so they will light smoke to warn and ask for help, when we left, the hussar battalion was chasing those black-clothed masked people, and there were important things to do next, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, but the assassins were so bold, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not directly attack Ling's mansion, and asked General Wei to be careful about it, it was best to send some more people, how much importance the emperor attaches to Miss Ling, General Wei also knows, if Miss Ling has any mistakes, you and I can't afford to take care of it, I hope General Wei will bother more. ”

Although Wei Chifeng had already guessed a thing or two, he couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard Li Qingshan say it so solemnly at this moment, so he said seriously: "Commander Li rest assured, Wei is trusted by the emperor and will do his best to protect Miss Ling's safety, and he will never dare to slack off." After speaking, he turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Quickly go and send two more battalions to garrison, and order everyone to strengthen patrols and precautions, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Wei Chifeng's men immediately took the order and left.

Li Qingshan immediately hugged his fists and said, "There is General Lao Wei," after a pause, he said solemnly, "General Wei, Ming people don't say secret words, because you are responsible for protecting Miss Ling, so you will tell the truth about the black-clothed masked assassin attacking her, so that General Wei can prepare and take precautions in advance, but you and I know how Miss Ling got out of the mansion, if you really want to investigate, I am afraid that General Wei will not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of responsibility, so whether it is for Miss Ling's reputation or General Wei himself, please keep General Wei tight-lipped, just don't know anything, Nothing happened. ”

Wei Chifeng naturally knew that what Li Qingshan said was true, so he immediately replied cooperatively: "Naturally, Wei didn't know anything, except for the smoke warning in the direction of the city gate, he didn't know anything else, and naturally it was impossible to mention anything to anyone, please rest assured that Commander Li would." ”

Li Qingshan was relieved at this time, so he didn't plan to delay any longer, and immediately hugged his fists again and said: "Then I'll leave first." ”

Wei Chifeng replied: "Commander Li is good." ”

Li Qingshan immediately drove the carriage in the direction of the palace. Before he had gone far, he recognized that the carriage not far in front of him was the one he had bought together and that Zhuo Haoxuan had boarded, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did Xia Huaizhong drive the carriage here, it stands to reason that they should have entered the palace a long time ago, and after a slight thought, he suddenly understood that it must be Zhuo Haoxuan who was not worried about Ling Yuxin, so he had been secretly following the carriage he was driving, until he saw Ling Yuxin enter the Ling Mansion before leaving the direction of returning to the palace.

Xia Huaizhong took care of Zhuo Haoxuan, who was injured in the car, so he deliberately slowed down a little in order to seek stability, so as not to be too bumpy, and Li Qingshan was moving forward empty, so the speed was naturally faster than the carriage driven by Xia Huaizhong, and when he arrived at the palace, Li Qingshan almost caught up with Xia Huaizhong, and the soldiers guarding the gate naturally recognized the two of them, but it was a little strange why the two of them each drove a carriage, and when they wanted to check the carriage according to the rules, both of them showed the royal exemption from the entrance and exit cards, and the guards had to let the two enter the palace gate one after another.

After arriving at the gate of the palace, Li Qingshan went in first and whispered a few words to Zhao De, Zhao De's face changed greatly, and he immediately drove away a group of palace people, and at the same time instructed his henchman eunuch Xiao Fushun to quietly go to the Tai Hospital to invite Imperial Doctor Zhang to come.

After seeing that all the eunuchs and maids in the palace had left, Xia Huaizhong lifted the curtain and helped Zhuo Haoxuan get out of the carriage.

After Zhao De listened to what Li Qingshan said, he was very worried about Zhuo Haoxuan's injury, and after driving away a group of palace people and instructing Xiao Fushun to find the imperial doctor, he couldn't wait for Xia Huaizhong to help Zhuo Haoxuan into the palace, so he immediately hurried out of the hall to greet him, and saw Zhuo Haoxuan's face was pale and his steps were vain, and he became more and more panicked and worried, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

In order to avoid touching Zhuo Haoxuan's wound, Xia Huaizhong deliberately kept supporting his right hand. When Li Qingshan informed Zhao De, he only said that "the emperor was injured and was in the carriage outside the palace", but he didn't have time to say where the injury was, Zhao De was shocked, and naturally he didn't bother to ask carefully, but he was in a hurry to drive everyone away so that he could quickly pick up Zhuo Haoxuan, and now when he saw Zhuo Haoxuan in a very bad state, he became more and more panicked, and instinctively stepped forward to support Zhuo Haoxuan's other hand, and at the moment of holding Zhuo Haoxuan's left hand, he caught a glimpse of Zhuo Haoxuan's left back shoulder full of bloodstained wounds, this surprise is even more extraordinary, couldn't help but say sharply to Xia Huaizhong and Li Qingshan: "How did the two commanders escort them?" How could the emperor be so seriously injured? You ......"
