Chapter 108
When Ye Qian and King Yu found Ye Li and Yan Yunxi, it was almost dawn.
"Brother!" Seeing Ye Li who appeared at the entrance of the cave, Ye Qian couldn't hold back any longer, big tears flowed down her white and tender cheeks, Such a high cliff, she thought she would never see him again, If it weren't for the last glimmer of hope in her heart, she wouldn't be able to hold on to the present.
"Qianqian!" Ye Li opened his arms and hugged his sister who rushed over. Looking at her tears and face, you can know how worried and sad she is, after looking for herself for so long, the little girl must be frightened, "It's okay, brother is fine, don't be afraid." He patted her on the back so that she wouldn't cry too quickly and burp.
"Is my brother hurt?" Ye Qian let go of Ye Li, looked up and down, saw the blood stains on his legs, his face turned even paler, and he nervously held his hand, "Legs, my brother's leg is injured!"
Ye Li hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's just a small injury, just a little skin." ”
Yan Yunxi stood beside Ye Qian, stretched out her arms towards Ye Qian, and looked at her with aggrieved eyes.
Ye Qian went up and hugged her, "Sister Yunxi, it's great that you're okay."
Yan Yunxi smiled: "I don't want to die, I still want to hear Sister Qianqian call her sister a few more times." ”
"Don't say death!" Ye Qian frowned, "Sister Yunxi won't die!" She had been worried for so long that she couldn't hear the word "death".
"Okay, then I won't talk about it." Yan Yunxi patted her on the shoulder, and she was extremely lucky for the rest of her life.
"Whose people are those people?" Ye Li saw that King Yu also came over and asked.
"It's King Kang's man." Seeing that neither of them was seriously injured, King Yu secretly rejoiced, "Those are all dead soldiers, it's useless to stay, I killed them all." "Those people will not confess to King Kang, and if they stay, they will expose their secret guards, so King Yu did not leave a mouth.
Yan Yunxi asked, "Who is King Kang trying to harm, the prince or me?" ”
King Yu said: "Two birds with one stone." He is thinking of killing His Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter, so that the Jiping Houfu who is responsible for protecting you will also be in trouble, of course, his biggest purpose should be to set off chaos, the Imperial Daughter was killed in Daqi, and then there will be a war between the two countries, and he can take advantage of the chaos to seek greater benefits. "According to the current state of peace and stability, the crown prince will definitely ascend the throne smoothly, only in the chaos can there be a chance, he, the third brother, is also an ambitious person, he knew it in his previous life.
Yan Yunxi snorted angrily, "It's a pity that there is nothing to prove him!" She also knew that it was useless for those dead soldiers to stay, and King Yu probably didn't want to expose his strength.
"Don't worry, let's look behind slowly." King Yu's thin lips hooked meaningfully, the fox's tail was already exposed, and he only had to tell the news to the blind hunter of the prince, and he could wait to see the excitement.
When the group returned to Kyoto, it was already dawn, and King Yu sent Zheng Han with his guards to send Ye Qian back to the Hou Mansion, and he, Ye Li, and Yan Yunxi went to the palace. If such a big thing happened and thirty dead soldiers died, they must not be able to hide it, they can only take the initiative to find the emperor. Ye Qian was frightened for a day, and she was running fast, and she was already exhausted, so King Yu was reluctant to let her follow the toss again, let her go back to the Hou Mansion first, and also tell her family.
Ji Pinghou and Meng Shi had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when they saw their baby daughter coming back, their faces were extremely bad, and they knew that something was indeed wrong.
Ye Qian told what happened last night, Meng almost fainted when she heard that her eldest son fell from such a high cliff, if Ye Qian hadn't said from the beginning that everyone was fine, her brother and the princess and King Yu went to the palace, she would have thought that her son would not be able to come back.
Ji Pinghou was a little better, and he was also frightened, listening to his youngest daughter tell Ye Li and Yan Yunxi about the fall off the cliff, and said secretly: This is thanks to the gut-breaking sword, when the princess gave it to her son, she definitely didn't expect to save her life.
He saw that Ye Qian's face was pale, and advised: "Qianqian hasn't slept all night, and she is scared, let the kitchen prepare some soft and restrained, and then let the doctor boil a soothing soup, Qianqian will sleep well after drinking, since she is home, there is nothing to do, Qianqian doesn't have to worry anymore." "That King Kang is ambitious, he wants to kill more than one stone, but he tosses his baby daughter like this, how much she cares about her eldest son, anyone with eyes knows it, you can imagine how tormented she was last night.
Meng Shi ordered to go down, and sent her daughter back to her own yard, personally helped her wash up, and watched her eat a bowl of porridge and drink soothing soup. That tranquilizing soup is really useful, after a night of turmoil, Ye Qian's heart was fluttering, and she fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
King Yu, Ye Li, and Yan Yunxi entered the palace, Emperor Wen had just come down from the early court, and when he saw the three of them coming together, he thought that it was the same as last time, and he had a conflict with a girl from which family, but he didn't expect it to be an assassination.
"Father, father wants to be the master of his son!" King Yu's beautiful phoenix eyes were extremely aggrieved, "Those black-clothed masked people will be killed when they come up, if it weren't for General Ye's superb martial arts and the many guards brought by his son, his son would never see his father again!" This is the last argument that they discussed, that is, they met the man in black together, and the man in black was killed by the guards and Ye Li, so that the matter of King Yu's secret guard can be covered up.
Yan Yunxi said: "These people are extremely vicious, they knocked me off the cliff, if it wasn't for General Ye's desperate rescue, I wouldn't be able to come back alive." ”
Emperor Wen was so shocked that the folds in his hand fell, who did this, if he really let him succeed, his son is one less, not to mention, Daqi and Nuluo will have disputes, when the border is in turmoil, once it falls into war, I don't know how much national strength will be consumed, and what is even more terrifying is that those neighboring countries around it, if they see the opportunity and wait for the opportunity to move, Daqi will be dangerous.
"This must have been done by a spy from another country!" Emperor Wen slapped the dragon case, "These people assassinated the princess in order to provoke the fight between Daqi and Nuluo, which is really dampening!" I'm going to get to the bottom of it! "These people sent thirty killers at one time, and I don't know how many such people are hidden in Kyoto, when I thought of this, Emperor Wen couldn't sit still, and ordered people to pass on Jing Zhaoyin and Wucheng Terracotta Division to come over and prepare to search carefully in Kyoto.
King Yu and Yan Yunxi didn't expect him to pull King Kang out, seeing that Emperor Wen was going to arrange to see the minister to investigate the matter thoroughly, several people also took their leave, Emperor Wen thought for a while, "The princess is also tired today, tomorrow there will be a banquet in the palace to shock the princess, and then General Ye will also come, oh, by the way, Miss Ye will also come, the fourth child is alone every time the banquet is alone, I can't stand it." ”
This is the first time Ye Qian has participated in this kind of formal banquet in the palace, although she has already made a marriage with King Yu, but after all, there is no big wedding, but since the emperor personally said that she would come to participate, she also came with Ye Li and Yan Yunxi.
Before the banquet officially started, everyone was not officially seated, King Yu walked to Ye Qian's side, "Did Qianqian rest well last night?" She had been worried for so long, and she didn't know if she slept well, if she had nightmares, and her face seemed to be fine.
Ye Qian nodded, "I slept well, and my father asked the doctor to boil me a soothing soup." ”
King Yu just wanted to say a few more words, but the prince came over, "Miss Ye is still here for the first time, since she is going to marry the fourth child next year, and she is not an outsider, the banquet in the harem is still often coming, and he will accompany the fourth child, so that he will not be alone every time." As he spoke, his eyes slipped around Ye Qian, and he was surprised to find that she was getting better and better, but unfortunately, after all, he was fourteen years old, and his posture was exquisite, not the youthful appearance he liked, he sighed secretly in his heart, the best delicate flowers missed the perfect time to pick, "I heard that the fourth child is in danger, and Miss Ye is also on the spot, but she was frightened?" ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie cares." Ye Qian saluted in a proper manner, "I was not frightened." She half-hung her head, and did not go to see the prince, that year at the funeral of King Rui, the prince tried to lead her to the small courtyard, she didn't understand at the time, but now she understands very well in her heart, and this prince can still be as far away as she can.
King Yu moved his footsteps and blocked Ye Qian behind him, "It's really hateful to say, I don't know who is so bold and dares to commit murder in broad daylight!" ”
The prince said absentmindedly: "It should be a spy from another country." ”
King Yu snorted, "I don't think so, it's okay for spies from other countries to get in one or two, how can it be possible to dispatch thirty killers at once, besides, I heard that this kind of meticulous work that blends into other countries is the best at disguise, and generally pretends to be an inconspicuous person, how can he be dressed in black and masked, this look is a killer." ”
"Oh, according to you, who must have done it?" The prince was slightly interested.
"According to me, it should have been done by our Daqi." King Yu nodded affirmatively, "Our Daqi is now stable in the court, everything is in order, and those who want to fish in troubled waters have no way to start, so they just make some big moves, and when the court situation is chaotic, he is waiting for an opportunity to make a move and get some benefits." No matter who he is, if I find out, I won't spare him! He just attacked the princess of Nuluo, and wanted to kill me by the way, and my eldest brother, if something happened to the princess, it would be difficult to escape the responsibility, and then my father-in-law's family would be over. ”
The prince is thoughtful, and it makes sense to say this, but who is the person who wants to fish in troubled waters? Thirty killers were sent out at once, which was by no means something that ordinary people could do, and they dared to attack the fourth child, and they wanted to kill a princess, a prince, a prince and a princess at once, who had such courage? He seemed to have a vague shadow in his heart, but he couldn't think clearly for a while.
King Yu looked at his confused look and knew that he still didn't expect it, secretly scolding that he was really a blind man, the person who did it was beside him, and he couldn't see it, so he had to make persistent efforts, "After this assassination, my heart is still pounding now, forget it, don't talk about this annoying thing." By the way, how is Ye Fengyi in your East Palace? ”
Ye Fengyi? The prince was stunned for a moment before remembering who it was, it turned out to be Ye Fu, speaking of the fact that since she entered the East Palace last year, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, and at this time, he remembered such a person when he heard King Yu mention it, "The fourth brother asked her what she was doing?" "After all, it's a woman from the East Palace, how could the fourth child ask.
"Isn't she a sister to my little princess?" King Yu said: "I met the third brother a few days ago, and the third brother asked me if Ye Fengyi knew the prince when he was very young, and asked me if I had ever seen a teenage girl with the prince next to him, I said that I had never seen it, and I didn't know who the third brother was looking for?" Is there a teenage girl next to the prince who is someone the third brother knows? ”
A teenage girl? The prince's face changed greatly, and King Kang knew his secret! What does he want to do, gather evidence of his guilt so that he can be destroyed? He wants to replace it? King Kang has been by his side for so many years, and he is very loyal on the surface, but he didn't expect to have such great ambitions, but he never noticed it, and the prince suddenly thought that this assassination incident was also the ghost of King Kang, after all, according to the current stable situation, King Kang has no chance at all.
