Chapter 257: Night Raid Incident

Bai Qige has always felt light, and woke up in a daze when he vaguely heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in his sleep that night, and after listening carefully for a while, he made sure that there was indeed a noise outside, and it was getting closer and closer.

Pushing Yi Chenjing, Prince Da Yao, who had not been asleep for a long time after a tiring day, did not realize that something had happened, and did not wake up in pain until he was pinched hard under his ribs. Reluctantly got up from the bed and got dressed, the belt was not yet fastened, and there was already a knock on the door outside the room.

"Didn't anyone teach you how to knock on the door? It's still too small for you to pay attention to. ”

It was the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion who knocked on the door, and they thought that there were only Bai Qige and Yuche master and servant living in the dust Xuan and didn't take it to heart, but after a bang, they saw that the person who opened the door was Yi Chenjing with a cold and angry face, and he was immediately frightened and sifted through the chaff: "The little one should be damned, I don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince stayed here and was shocked to sleep, His Royal Highness the Prince forgives his sins,"

"Less nonsense, what's going on. In the middle of the night, what are you trying to do with an open fire? Looking at the more than a dozen people holding torches and long knives outside the door, Yi Chenjing couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that it was Yi Chenjing, the captain of the forbidden army camp hurriedly took the soldier who knocked on the door aside, bowed his hand, and said in a hurried tone: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, something happened to Concubine Lian, just now an assassin sneaked into Hexiang Palace and tried to assassinate Miss Even, but fortunately, there were guards who desperately blocked him to save his life, and the assassin fled in the chaos." The villain was ordered by the capital to search the neighboring palaces overnight, and other matters had to wait for the capital to report to the emperor before making a decision. ”

Occasional showers were hit.

Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige looked at each other, and gasped together.

"Miss Even's not hurt. Where are the people now. ”

"Back to Princess Qi'an, Miss Even was only frightened and not injured, and now she is accompanied by Concubine Lian in the main hall of Hexiang Palace, and the villain has arranged for thirty soldiers to guard outside the main hall." Seeing that Bai Qige's concern for the occasional shower was better than Yi Chenjing's, the school captain was quite curious, but he didn't dare to ask because of his status, so he had to ask Yi Chenjing tentatively, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to go to the Hexiang Palace to have a look." Miss Even Xu was too frightened and kept crying, and Concubine Lian couldn't persuade her no matter how much she persuaded her......"

There is such a big thing as an assassin in the palace, as the crown prince, you always have to go and see it, although she is reluctant in her heart, Yi Chenjing still nodded, sorted out her clothes and walked to the Lotus Palace with Bai Qige.

The Hexiang Palace is not far from the dust Xuan, and there are Lian Concubine and two Zhaoyi living in the courtyard, and when the two arrived, it was these three women who accompanied the occasional shower to constantly comfort and comfort, but the occasional shower couldn't listen to any words at all, and kept cowering in the wide pear blossom wooden chair and whimpering and crying.

Yi Chenjing did not enter the main hall directly, but carefully inspected it, and his eyes were quickly attracted by the four corpses covered with white cloth in the corner.

"There are a few assassins." Bai Qige also noticed the corpses, and called the soldier in charge of the guard and asked.

"It is unclear how many people there were, but when the soldiers on the night patrol heard the sound of fighting, they saw only one assassin, and when they saw someone coming, the assassin quickly fled over the wall." Looking down at the cold and silent corpse, the chief shook his head and regretted, "At that time, these four guards had already fallen, if it weren't for one of them trying his best to press Miss Even under him to protect him, I'm afraid that even Miss Even Miss would have suffered an accident at this time." ”

Emperor Yao was very suspicious, the palace guards were carefully selected and trained by Lian Suiliang himself, all of them were very skilled, one assassin could kill four guards, then this assassin's martial arts would never be too bad, Yi Chenjing speculated that if he fought with him, he should not take advantage of anything.

Why would someone with such a high level of kung fu risk assassinating the occasional shower? Yi Chenjing thought about it for a long time but didn't understand, looking at Bai Qige, Su Dan shook his head at him, and he also had a confused and worried expression. In fact, it's not entirely right to say that they don't understand, vaguely, and there is a bad guess in their hearts.

This incident is very likely to be blamed on Bai Qige.

"Let's go in and see, she's just a child, and it's going to freak out when something like this happens." Seeing that Yi Chenjing didn't mean to comfort the occasional shower at all, Bai Qige said lightly.

With a short sigh, Yi Chenjing walked into the hall a little at a loss, hesitated for a moment and gently patted the head of the occasional shower, moved his lips but didn't know what to say. He was now afraid of contact with occasional showers, and he was afraid that the slightest concern he showed unconsciously would give the child a sudden hope, even though he really cared. When he first returned to Yaoguo, he had no power and no power, and the general gave him the most powerful support unconditionally, at that time, the occasional shower was smaller than now, but he was a girl in the prime of her life, and her bright little face and flawless innocence once made him and Concubine Jing smile, and unconsciously felt a little softer in his heart, which was one of the reasons why he was cold to other women, but the even showers could not be cold.

"Brother Prince, I'm afraid, I'm afraid......" Sensing the temperature above his head, Occasional Shower raised his head, and cried even more fiercely when he saw Yi Chenjing, and the little hand that tightly clutched Yi Chenjing's sleeve was pale and cold, and he couldn't stop shaking.

She is still a child who has just passed the age of the sword, seeing someone rushing towards her with a sword, seeing the blood splashing and someone dying tragically, how can she not be afraid of the sword and sword shadow who has never experienced the shadow of the sword.

The thin and petite body curled up into a ball and shivered, and a pair of bright eyes on the pale face were full of crystal tears, helpless and frightened, even Bai Qige couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw it, and wanted to bend down to hug the little girl who was scared a lot, but there was already another pair of hands to wrap the little body of the occasional shower, and whispered, full of tenderness.

"I'm here, and no one can hurt you anymore."

Looking at Yi Chenjing, who couldn't help but show her tender side, Bai Qige was slightly distracted, her heart was sour, and she was a little envious.

A weak woman will be guarded by a strong man, and a woman like her, who is very cold and strong herself, basically does not have the opportunity to be gently cared for and cherished. For example, Yi Chenjing, he said that he wanted to protect her, but he never treated her with such care and delicacy as dealing with occasional showers, just like a fragile golden branch and jade leaves, and the other is a rebellious roadside weed, who needs to be gentle and moisturized at a glance.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, General Puppet is here." Seeing the burly figure in the courtyard from afar, Concubine Lian reminded softly.

Yi Chenjing straightened up and turned around, just in time to see the occasional Suiliang with a face full of urgency and worry hurriedly stepping into the hall, rushing directly to the occasional shower without saying a word, and reaching out to hold his only daughter tightly in his arms.

Occasional showers are the only daughter of even Suiliang and his deceased wife, comparable to half of his life, in the middle of the night I heard someone to the general's mansion to inform that the occasional shower was attacked, the old general of the year of the sixtieth year did not even have time to put on his clothes and hurried into the palace, and saw that his baby daughter was unscathed when the heart hung high on the ground.

"A few people bothered." Occasionally, his conscience palpitated, and he nodded to Yi Chenjing reluctantly, "I'll send Xiaoyu back to the house first, and then I'll go to Ziyun Palace to see the emperor, this matter must be found out as soon as possible." You and the white girl don't act rashly, don't care what others say. ”

Even Suiliang has a lot of experience, so he naturally understands what these events mean, but he doesn't believe that Bai Qige is the real culprit behind the scenes. Considering that Emperor Yao was likely to take the opportunity to be embarrassed, the old general, who was worried about his daughter and didn't want to see Bai Qige wronged, had to choose to face the saint as soon as possible to explain the situation, so as not to make trouble when he was late.

But this is just what Occasional Sui Liang thinks, Concubine Lian and the two Zhaoyi who accompanied the occasional shower on the side don't think so, they didn't hear much about the rumors in the palace earlier, and at this time, the occasional shower was almost attacked in the heavily guarded palace, and the self-evident suspicion frequently glanced at Bai Qige.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and even Shower, who was hiding in the arms of Occasional Suiliang, was young but could read those eyes, and suddenly stopped crying after discovering that Bai Qige was suspicious, clenched his fists and looked angry: "It's not her, it's not her, don't wronged people, it was a man who broke in just now, I saw it,"

As soon as the shout came out, Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige looked at them in surprise, and they were surprised with a little gratitude.

Occasional showers want to become the crown princess, Bai Qige is her biggest obstacle, according to the dirty calculations of the harem, in this position, you should wish that Bai Qige was convicted and completely lost the qualification to compete, it is difficult for the occasional shower not only did not fall into the well but excused her, obviously, although this child is willful and arrogant, his heart is kind and clean.

Rubbing the scattered long hair in the occasional shower, Yi Chenjing gently scraped the tip of her slightly upturned little nose like she teased her many years ago: "Obedient, go back to the General's Mansion first and sleep well, and I'll go to see you when you wake up, okay." ”

"I don't, who will accompany me when my father enters the palace. I'm going to stay here......" Thinking of the terrifying scene when he was chased and killed, his eyes turned red with occasional showers, and he wiped his tears and began to sob, "I said that I would protect me, but the prince's brother doesn't count...... I'm not leaving......"

"Just let her stay, anyway, there are still guards in the palace, it's safer than the General's Mansion." Bai Qige couldn't see the strange eyes of Concubine Lian and the others, and Lala Yi Chenjing made a look.

Yi Chenjing didn't know what Bai Qige's plans were, seeing that her eyes were firm, and then she looked down at the little face of the pear blossom with the rain, and had no choice but to nod: "Then let Xiaoyu stay in the palace temporarily, go and change clothes first, and then go to see my father and the emperor together." ”

Finally stopped crying even shower was coaxed by Concubine Lian and others to change clothes, even Suiliang briefly asked what happened, his expression was solemn, he was approachable in the past, and looked at Bai Qige with a serious face. Even Suiliang is Emperor Yao's confidant, and his words weigh more than a thousand catties, if he also suspects Bai Qige and says a few guesses in front of Emperor Yao, Bai Qige's charges will be difficult to clear.

Yi Chenjing took a deep breath and stood in front of Bai Qige with an immovable expression: "Is General Puppet suspicious of anyone?" ”

"The things of the past few days seem to be inseparable from the white girl." Even Suiliang was outspoken. Seeing a trace of disappointment flashing in Yi Chenjing's eyes, he immediately changed his words, which was meaningful: "Gong Yu is right and wrong, which is good and which is bad, these are not up to you, you two are sharp and don't know how to converge, don't you want to think about what will be caused." ”

Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing were puzzled, glanced at each other, and then looked at the old general who had already turned around, and his broad back was dyed with a little vicissitudes of life. Yi Chenjing's heart tightened, and he said abruptly: "Qige will not do such a dirty thing, if General Puppet knows who is arranging all this, please make it clear." ”

Even Suiliang did not look back, only a deep voice sounded as low as a bronze bell.

"I don't know who it is, I only know one thing, white girl, you remember, Your Majesty has no ill will towards you, and the person who really wants to harm you is probably the one who says he wants to help you."
