Feng Lingye lowered his head slightly, "Please also ask the emperor for advice." ”

The emperor glanced at everyone, especially the prince and princess behind him, and his tone was slightly dark, "Just now, when the assassins attacked secretly, I almost lost my life at the hands of these outlaws. Only Feng Lingye alone sent the maidservants beside her to protect me, and turned the tide with my personal guards, so that I was able to save my life! ”

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere became extremely heavy.

The emperor's face was dark, and he looked at the courtiers and emperors around him, and his tone was aggravated, "If the king dies, the country will be unstable, and the remnants of the Xia Kingdom are ready to move everywhere, do you know which is more important?!" ”

"The emperor is angry!" All the courtiers and princes knelt down one after another.

The emperor just walked from the edge of life and death, he was tired, and he didn't want to say more, just looked at Feng Lingye, "It is my Dali's blessing that a woman can have such a mind, and I will be rewarded for the time being, after returning to the palace, I will definitely be rewarded!" ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Feng Ling blessed his body at night.

The emperor looked at Gonggong Hai beside him, "It's all cleaned up?" ”

"Report to the emperor, it's almost over." Gonggong Hai supported him and said, "Lu Zhixian has already sent additional people to rush over, and in less than half an hour, we will be able to settle down in the place he arranged." ”

He bowed slightly, his tone tired, "Let's go." ”

So, under the guard of the Royal Guards, everyone began to move in the other direction.

Since most of the carriages were destroyed, the remaining carriages, except for the emperor and queen, were left to the wounded.

As Gonggong Hai said, within half an hour, the team arrived at the mansion and inn prepared by Lu Zhixian.

The emperor and other people in the palace lived in the mansion, and Duan Junmo and other princes, ministers and ladies temporarily stayed in the inn.

This evening.

Feng Lingye was recuperating in the inn's house, while Zhuang Nanyan took medicine and came to see her.

Zhuang Nanyan sat next to the bed, with bandages wrapped around her arms, and after she put the medicine on the table, she sighed softly, "This is a little medicine for my sister, a little heart, and I hope my sister will not dislike it." ”

"Sister Qin's heart, how dare I dislike it, it's too late to thank you." Feng Lingye was lying on the bed, her legs and feet were a little inconvenient, so she didn't get out of bed, looked at her hand, and asked with concern, "Your hand was also cut by the assassin?" ”

Zhuang Nanyan bowed slightly, frowning, as if the events of the afternoon were still vivid, "If it weren't for the prince who arrived to save me, I'm afraid I would have died in Huangquan." ”

"Sister Concubine Qin is the person on the tip of the prince's heart, how could the prince let you have an accident?" She smiled slightly.

"When I mentioned this, my sister also wanted to say sorry to my sister." Zhuang Nanyan stretched out his hand and grabbed her, tears in the corners of his eyes, "Just when my sister was chased and killed by assassins, the prince wanted to save my sister, but the prince saw that I was injured, so he had to stay and take care of me, so it was all my fault, and I almost killed my sister." ”

"The assassin was not sent by you, sister, even if I die, it has nothing to do with my sister, presumably the prince will think so." Feng Lingye was still smiling, her only good impression of Duan Junmo had already been wiped out by him, and now that Zhuang Nanyan deliberately came to show off, she would not feel the slightest jealousy.

Zhuang Nanyan smiled, "But the prince actually asked Leng Kite to go over to save his sister, it can be seen that the prince still has you in his heart." ”

"What does Sister Concubine Qin want to say, it's better to be blunt?" Feng Lingye was too lazy to play dumb riddles with her, and went straight to the road with a single knife.

Zhuang Nanyan let go of her hand and said lightly: "I don't know if our agreement that night is still counting?"

"It's up to you whether you count or not." Feng Lingye's eyes were calm and emphasized.

Zhuang Nanyan looked at her, "Rescuing your mother and sisters is by no means easy, and you must know that it is not so fast." Since you have no intention of the prince, wait for the prince to come to see you, and you will make it clear to him. ”

"That night, I have already made it clear, there is no need to say more," Feng Lingye's tone turned light, and she looked at her coldly, "Moreover, you have no right to order me." ”

"You!" Zhuang Nanyan frowned, but soon stretched out again, "Okay, as long as my sister is resolute, I think in the future, the prince will definitely break this thought." ”

After speaking, she stood up, "My sister is so self-reliant, so my sister won't bother." ”

"Sister Qin, walk slowly." Feng Lingye also regained its good color.

As soon as Zhuang Nanyan left, Duan Junmo knocked on the door as if he was waiting, "Are you there?" ”

"Thank you for your life-saving grace today, the concubine is tired, please go back." She looked at the tall figure reflected on the doorframe, her tone respectful, but expressionless.

Duan Junmo didn't break through, stood at the door, and asked in a low voice, "How are your injuries, but are they serious?" ”

"It's just some skin trauma that makes the prince worried." Her voice was respectful, but with a touch of cold detachment.

Duan Junmo could hear it, he was silent for a while, his eyes were empty, "It's my fault that I didn't save him personally." ”

Feng Lingye's pupils tightened.

For the first time, he referred to himself as "I".

When she raised her eyes and looked at the door frame again, the tall figure had already left.

She lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, and sighed imperceptibly.

Just as she was relieving, there was a sudden noise from the window.

The sound of "snap" immediately alarmed Feng Lingye on the bed, she turned her head to look, and was about to call Gong Jiyue, but saw Leng Kite.

I saw him carrying a food box, and because he rushed in through the window, he half-knelt on the ground, flicked the dust on his knees, and stood up like no one else.

"This is the dinner that the prince prepared for you tonight." He placed the food box on the table and pointed.

"There are people in the back kitchen of the inn, you can take it down." Feng Lingye didn't think about it and refused directly.

Leng Kite couldn't understand the complicated relationship between these two people, so she touched her brain and asked, "You didn't have a good time before, why did you suddenly become so angry?"

Feng Lingye suddenly choked.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he opened the lunch box, and then put it on the dining table one by one, and then moved the entire dining table directly to the bedside, "The prince said, you are sick now, if you eat those big pots of rice, your body will not recover well, and you will leave an ugly scar!" ”

Feng Lingye's brows twitched.

"The prince also said that if you don't eat these meals, he will throw them away," he said, with another look of seeing through the expression, he added, "The prince will definitely not throw it, he is just scaring you!" ”

The corners of Feng Lingye's mouth twitched, and seeing that he didn't eat, Leng Kite was not easy to deal with, so he had to pick up chopsticks and eat.

Leng Kite saw her eat, so she flew out of the room with relief, and when she left, she didn't forget to mutter, "The master is too, and if you send a meal, you will let the family go through the window." ”

Two days later, Lu Zhixian prepared the carriage, and the team divided into two routes, all the way back to Beijing with the wounded, and continued all the way to Jiangyin Mountain.

This assassination operation has been investigated clearly, it was organized by the outlaws of the Xia Kingdom, and the target was only the emperor, who took advantage of the sneak attack launched by the hunt.

Due to the timely protection and counterattack of the Royal Forest Army, although the number of wounded was large, but the number of injuries was not much, so the hunt was carried out as usual.

Therefore, when the whole team arrived at the foot of Jiangyin Mountain, it took two more days.

In order to breathe, and there are many talc on the mountain road, most of them choose to get off the carriage and hike up the mountain.

As soon as I got off the carriage, the originally quiet mountain road became much more lively.

didn't walk for long, and saw a man in the prince's brocade robe behind him, slowly walking to Duan Junmo's side, his face was cold, his face was angular and angular, and Duan Junmo was three points similar, but he was a little less calm than him, and there was a little more arrogance.

"Seventh brother, I heard that my brother-in-law has made a great contribution, congratulations!" The fourth prince, Duan Rui, arched his hand towards him, and then, with flying eyebrows, glanced behind him, but only saw Zhuang Nanyan, not Feng Lingye.

Duan Junmo was expressionless, and only replied coldly, "This is all her duty, and she doesn't dare to ask for credit." ”

"Come on, seventh brother, who did their duty that day?" Duan Rui smiled lazily, "What about my seventh brother and daughter-in-law?" Where did you hide her? ”

Duan Junmo's thin lips pursed slightly, as if he didn't want to deal with him anymore.

Duan Rui's gaze turned around, and then fell on Zhuang Nanyan again, "Who are you?" ”

"I've seen the four princes, and I'm the side concubine of the seventh prince." Zhuang Nanyan replied gently.

Duan Rui coldly hooked the corners of his lips, slightly mocking, "You are a side concubine, don't stay at the back of the team, grab the position of my seventh brother and daughter-in-law, do you know the word 'etiquette'?" ”

"Fourth brother, but do you want to discuss the position with this king?" Duan Jun Mofeng's eyes sank slightly.

Duan Rui's face suddenly turned ugly, he was the only prince who was given the title of king by the emperor, if he hadn't overthrown the Xia Kingdom, how could it be his turn to be a seventh prince in this position?

He snorted lazily, his eyes half-narrowed, and he was slightly warned, "There are many princes in Dali, but there is only one emperor." ”

"Fourth brother is right." Duan Junmo replied without being salty.

After a few words, Duan Rui didn't get the slightest bargain, so he didn't continue to argue.

His good show is still to come.

In the evening, they finally arrived at their destination, and a heavy army had been deployed before January, so there was no need to worry about another raid.

After resting for a while in the tents, the masters began to move outside.

After the care and arrangement of the subordinates, a simple platform was set up here for the emperor and the queen to rest, and below it was a strict order of tables and chairs, which were for the ministers and princes to feast and drink, and behind the men, it was the position of the female dependents.

Next to the feast, there was an empty space, which was full of targets, rings, and weapons of all kinds, presumably prepared for the purpose of assessing the young children tonight.

The ministers and princes arrived first, and it didn't take long for the emperor and queen to sit in their places.

"The Zhongqing family has been running all the way and has worked hard." The emperor raised a glass of wine and smiled, "This glass of wine should be regarded as my tribute to everyone, to express my little comfort." ”

The first assistant of the cabinet, who was above 10,000 people under one person, slowly stood up, holding the wine glass, with a generous smile on his face, "The emperor is polite, it is the duty of the ministers to do their best for the emperor." ”

Then, the ministers and princes present stood up, held their wine glasses, and said some polite and auspicious words.

Shoufu said again: "This cup of wine, or the ministers to respect the emperor, I wish the emperor tomorrow can win and win the hunt!"

"Good!" The emperor was no longer polite to everyone, and after a word of praise, he first raised his head and drank the wine.

The ministers in the audience raised their glasses and drank one after another.

After a few glasses of wine, the red carpet in the middle began to dance, and the atmosphere slowly became active from the initial restraint.

Seeing that the position next to Duan Junmo was still empty, the emperor couldn't help but turn to the queen beside him, and lowered his voice slightly, "What about the prince?" ”

"I heard from the accompanying imperial doctor that I was a little frightened a few days ago and was not in a good state, so I won't come tonight." The Empress explained in detail.

The emperor didn't have much expression after hearing this, only said "um".

At this time, in the crowd, I don't know who laughed a few times, and drunkenly suggested: "Since the empty platform has been set up, let our future juniors in Dali show off their strengths, right?"

When the emperor heard this, he also had this intention, so he waved his hand and agreed.

In the women's seats, as soon as they heard that the competition was going to begin, the women whispered one after another.

In normal times, they can't see so many male guests, especially the unmarried girls, who lock their eyes on the empty field, in case they can't say, they can still meet a good person.

After a while, all the young and vigorous teenagers stood on the empty field one after another, gearing up, waiting to show their skills in front of the emperor.

The referee took a gavel, walked to the gong, struck it hard, and the competition began.

It is not a formal competition, so the order is arbitrary, some walk to the front of the riding and shooting, and some look at it, so they come to the high platform to compete on their own.

When everyone saw that they were invested, they saw that at the banquet, Duan Rui, the fourth prince, stood up and bowed to the emperor on the high platform, "Father, the son wants to have a discussion with the seventh brother, and I hope that my father will allow it." ”

The emperor was calm and did not answer immediately.

This empty field was originally intended for the children of nobles, and very few princes were willing to mix in.

At this time, Shousuke-sama smiled, "Young people, you should be strong in blood and have a competitive and aggressive heart, which is a good thing!" ”
