Chapter 4: The Assassins

Ling Huyuan returned to the study and found that Ruyi had woken up. "What's going on?" Ruyi asked as he sat on the couch.

"There are assassins, but it's all right, don't worry, you just have a good rest."

"Did you assassinate me?"

"Why do you think that?"

"The voice came from the small courtyard on the west side." Ling Huyuan was stunned, he didn't expect Ruyi to have such a keen insight, and he didn't think about what to say for a while.

"You don't have to hide it from me, just tell me the truth." Ruyi looked resolute and said seriously

Ling Huyuan was silent for a while and said, "They are here to look for you, but it seems that they want to take you away, and they haven't found out who it is." ”

Ruyi soon realized that his life had been turned upside down, and it was not like An Shi said that he could go back to live an ordinary life as long as he left. She must be prepared for the storms ahead. She is closely connected to the world and this history.

"General, I have something to ask for?" "Call me by name." "Brother Linghu, can you teach me some self-defense techniques. I also want to learn a skill. ”

Ling Hu Yuan didn't expect Ruyi to be this request, "Of course you can, I'll arrange it tomorrow." ”

"Thank you." Ruyi also deliberately learned from the people in the rivers and lakes outside to hug his fist. Ling Huyuan felt that it was fun, and he laughed out loud, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, let's go to bed first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. If you don't get better soon, I'll teach you tomorrow. Linghu Yuan urged Ruyi to lie down quickly, but Ruyi had no choice but to lie down and close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

Ruyi relived the events of the past two days in her mind, since she had come here, she would live the life of the moment, although she couldn't remember the past, but she speculated that the fire might be a conspiracy, and her brother might not be dead. She wants to find her brother, maybe he knows the truth of the matter. Ruyi straightened out his thoughts, calmed down, and his sleepiness gradually came up, and he fell asleep deeply.

Ling Huyuan sat on the desk outside, upset for a while. He remembered that when he was a child, his mother sat alone in front of the window and wept silently, and his father always wandered between the study and the martial arts, and rarely came to see his mother. His father was also extremely strict with him, and he didn't dare to ask his father. In this way, the seeds of hatred were planted in his young heart, and he felt that it was the portrait that robbed his father.

When he was 12 years old, one day his father said to him, "The little princess is back, Ah Yuan, you go to the palace to protect her!" "He'd already heard that it was the person in the painting who came back with her son and daughter. He agreed, and he wanted to go into the palace to see what kind of person he hated for so long, causing his mother to cry every day.

When he entered the palace and saw the little man who was like a fairy in pink and jade and called himself "Brother Yuan" sweetly, his heart suddenly turned into water, and he couldn't hate it anymore. The eldest princess is also a very gentle woman, she cares about him more than her mother, and he is also very close to the little princess's brother Tian Yinqi, the two are of the same age, and the two of them are called brothers and sisters in private. At that time, although the son Wei Poppy was older, he often played with his brother and sister. The four of them became friends at this point.

If there was no fire, what would be the situation of the four of them now, but there is no if in this world, the four of them can not go back to the beginning, he and his son Wei Poppy are monarchs and ministers, and Tian Yinqi is very likely to meet each other, and now he has found Ruyi He selfishly wants to hide Ruyi, and does not want to lose her again, even if it is her own brother. But what will Ruyi think when she knows the truth? Ling Huyuan was very conflicted in his heart, hoping that Ruyi would remember the past, but also hoping that she would never remember.

Linghu Yuan took up a pen to repair a book to his father and informed his father about the eldest princess. When he understood his heart for Ruyi, he no longer hated his father, who was just a poor man who couldn't be loved, and everything was just a matter of providence.

Ling Huyuan is playing with a straw rabbit in his hand, the workmanship is not fine, and it looks like a child's toy. It was a gadget that the four of them secretly went out of the palace to buy at the market, and Ruyi always liked it and always brought it with him. Until that night the fire. He couldn't remember exactly when he realized he liked Ruyi. I only remember that the two years when I accompanied Ruyi in the palace to protect Ruyi were the happiest times in his life. After the fire, the eldest princess and Ruyi disappeared, both saying that they were dead, and only his father and he firmly believed that they were still alive. Later, he went to the battlefield and was named a general at a young age, but the figure of that girl has always haunted me and has never forgotten it.

*

In the luxurious hall of the capital of Wei, Wei Poppy was impatiently accusing the maid serving the tea and disgusting the tea too hot. Uncle Acne walked into the main hall, "See Your Highness, I don't know what Your Highness is looking for your subordinates?" ”

Wei Poppy reined in his temper, waved his hand at the maid and asked her to go down, and then politely gave up his seat for his uncle's acne before saying, "Today, my father wanted to marry me, but I refused, so Wei Chuan went against me and asked to marry." There was still a hint of unhappiness in his voice.

"I don't know why His Highness refused"

"I have someone else in mind."

"Then why didn't His Highness explain it to the king. His Royal Highness has reached the age of starting a family, and the king wants to see a successor! Uncle Gong said meaningfully, "Recently, the king seems to be feeling a little unwell." ”

Wei Poppy looked at his uncle and suddenly realized, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"Your Highness is serious, if there is nothing to do, Your Highness will retire first."

"The prime minister walks slowly. Kang Shou, send the prime minister. ”

"Yes." The guard Kang Shou led his uncle out of the hall.

Wei Poppy slowly walked into the inner hall, and the man in black who had been here two days ago was kneeling inside, "Kang Ming, how are things going?" ”

"The subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to bring people back."

"Oh? What's going on? ”

"The girl entered the General's Mansion, one of our people died and two were injured, and we couldn't bring people out, please ask Your Highness to punish the crime."

"How did you get into the General's Mansion?"

"It is said that the general asked the girl to be a chef, but we didn't find the girl in the general's residence, I don't know why?"

Wei Poppy was a little uneasy in his heart, but his face was still cold, could it be that Ling Huyuan was also looking for her, and found it before him? Either way, he had to find out. "Kang Ming, you and Kang Shou are ready to prepare, I am going to Guiling." "No, my subordinates will go and prepare."

Wei Poppy was pacing slowly in the main hall, his father was seriously ill, and there was about to be a life-and-death battle. Maybe he shouldn't have dragged her into the mire. But if she is not there, what is the point of his oath to protect her in order to compete for this position! He was very conflicted for a while, and he didn't know if the decision to go to her was the right one. Even if he brought her back, would his father let him marry her?

He closed his eyes and sat down on the couch with a gloomy face. He remembered that when there was a fire back then, when he was about to rush to save her, his father's personal guards ran to stop him and said nothing to let him save him, he just thought that his father was afraid that he would be injured, but later clues made him realize that the fire was not such a simple accident. In the end, he made up his mind that whether or not he could bring her back this time, he must take this throne so that he could protect her. When I opened my eyes again, there was a clear light in my eyes.

There is a garden in the backyard of the Provisional General's Mansion, although it is temporary, but the Guiling County Order is very careful, the garden is very beautiful, and a lot of rare and exotic grasses are collected in the garden. Ruyi is dressed in a dark green flower coat, beautiful and elegant, sitting in the pavilion of the garden, looking at the sparkling lake not far away in a daze, the picture is quiet and beautiful like an excellent painting.

Ling Hu came from afar and saw this scene. He quickened his pace and walked over, "It's windy here, why are you sitting here, Xia He hasn't brought the cloak yet." Xia He heard this, and hurried back to the house to get the cloak.

"Ruyi, are you better?" "It's good morning, Brother Linghu, the various supplements you send every day are about to raise me into a little pig." Ruyi looked at Ling Huyuan with a smile, his bright black eyes flashed, and Ling Huyuan was so distracted that he forgot what to say.

Ruyi saw that he looked at himself in a daze, and was a little shy for a while, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Linghu, do you have anything to say about Xia Hezhi away?" ”

This ghost girl is so keen, Ling Huyuan smiled and covered up, "Yes, I can't hide anything from you." I just don't know what to tell you. ”

"Just say it."

"I received a summons today, Your Highness is coming to Guiling to inspect."

"Your Highness?" Don't ask, you must know her, in terms of seniority, it should be her cousin! But can she really recognize her cousin now? I'm afraid that until the truth is revealed, she won't be able to recognize the past. "So what should I do?" Ruyi asked.

Ling Huyuan didn't think about what to do, but his only thought was not to let Ruyi be hurt. "I bought a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, or you should go there first to take refuge, and I'll pick you up when he's gone."

"I'm not the beauty you hid, why should I hide out, I'm not the original little princess anymore, I'm just wishful thinking now, so let's do it, Brother Linghu, if you don't mind, how about I pretend to be your fiancΓ©e? It's just that I don't know if Brother Linghu has a wife, and whether my sister-in-law will mind. ”

"I haven't married yet, no one will mind, I'm just afraid that I'll wronged you, isn't a girl's name very important?" Linghu is far away from being wronged. If he wants to marry, he will also marry the media, which is also his wish all along.

"Brother Linghu doesn't have to worry, I have a clear heart, why should I care about other people's tongues." Ruyi said frankly.

"Ruyi, you've become stronger, but you're still so smart and wise."

"Look at what Brother Linghu said, people will always grow up." Ruyi said with a smile.

"You must have suffered a lot over the years, and I will definitely take good care of you in the future." Ling Huyuan said seriously.

"Brother Linghu is still quite into the play, we are just pretending." Ruyi snickered. Ling Huyuan was smiled at Ruyi, and was embarrassed not to turn his head.
