CHAPTER XXXVI

Zhao Shuyao sent Ye Qian out, and both of them were silent.

Ye Qian didn't know if Zhao Shuyao still wanted to be a concubine, and didn't want to pay attention to her, but Zhao Shuyao was a little ashamed and embarrassed to speak. Seeing that she was about to leave the house after passing through the garden, Zhao Shuyao bit her lip, "The last reunion festival was my mistake, I will never think like that again, and please forgive the princess." She also figured it out, King Yu is not something she can think about, and if she continues to be stubborn, she is afraid that she will anger Ye Qian and King Yu, and make her father's situation more dangerous, Now she just wants to keep her father's official position.

Since she admitted her mistake, Ye Qian would not hold on, "You said about the reunion festival, I tasted the reunion cake, it is slightly different from the flavor of Kyoto, but it is delicious."

She didn't care about it, Zhao Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Speaking of reunion cakes, canopy leaf specialty cakes, I don't know if the princess has tasted it?" ”

"Not yet." Ye Qian shook her head and said regretfully: "I've been too lazy to go out, and I only recently feel tired." She had never been in a carriage for two months, and although Xiao Yanfeng had tried her best to be comfortable, she was still a little tired all the way.

Zhao Shuyao said with a smile: "I heard that the epea in Banxi Hutong is the most delicious in the whole canopy leaf, and I don't know how to fry the epea in it, you can smell the aroma from afar, and mix it with the aroma of the freshly baked dough cake, it is a must, and the princess can taste it." ”

Ye Qian was already worried about the cake, but when she said this, she was even more moved, and nodded: "Then I must taste it." ”

The two walked towards the door of the mansion, but a person turned out on the other side of the flower and tree, it was Liu Tongzhi's daughter, Liu Miaoyan, she accompanied her father to visit Zhao Zhifu, and just met Zhao Shuyao and Ye Qian, she didn't have a good impression of these two people, especially she didn't want to salute Ye Qian, so she secretly hid, but she didn't expect to hear the two of them talking about the cake.

Liu Miaoyan was very disdainful, why were the princesses and prefects so interested in a penny of bread?

After visiting Governor Zhao's mansion, Liu Miaoyan told Liu Tongzhi about this as a joke, "Father, you say it's funny or not, what 'the pancakes in Banxi Hutong are the most delicious in the whole canopy leaves', haven't these two people eaten anything delicious, a pancake can also be said to be 'the best'?" ”

Liu Miaoyan said a joke, but Liu Tongzhi was interested, he had been in the tent for many years, and he had never heard of any pancakes in Banxi Hutong, there was a black alley, there was nothing, but Bandong Hutong was very lively, and it seemed that he had indeed heard of a famous pancake.

Did Zhao Shuyao not remember what he said wrongly, or did he deliberately point the princess to that black alley with ulterior motives?

Either way, it's definitely a piece of news worth exploiting. If something happened to the princess in that black alley, then the Zhao Governor's family would be considered to have survived. Liu Tongzhi hurriedly went out and went to Master Zhang's house.

Two days later, Ye Qian went out in a carriage, Lu Fei went along, and Zheng Han took a guard to protect him personally. It was difficult to go out, Ye Qian first walked around the most prosperous and lively street in Pengye, and was not interested, so he went to Banxi Hutong.

The Banxi Hutong is very narrow, and the carriages of the palace are made wide, so you can't get in at all. Ye Qian and Lu Fei got out of the carriage and looked at the mouth of the alley in confusion.

Zheng Han said: "Little princess, there seems to be nothing in this, don't be mistaken, right?" ”

Ye Qian was also a little strange, "I'm sure I heard it right, Miss Zhao is talking about Banxi Hutong." Her little nose wrinkled twice, "Smell, the aroma of the bread!" The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, haha, it must be here! ”

She raised her feet and walked into the alley, Zheng Han wanted to stop her, she had already gone in, and hurriedly followed.

When I got deeper and deeper, I came to the end of the alley, but I found a basket on the ground, which was full of steaming pancakes.

"This-" Ye Qian was dumbfounded.

"Be careful!" Zheng Han pulled out his sword suddenly, Ye Qian looked back, and seven or eight figures surrounded him, masked, and the sword in his hand flashed with a terrifying cold light.

Lu Fei stood tremblingly in front of Ye Qian, stretched out her arms, and protected her behind her, "Girl, slave, slave maid, don't, don't be afraid." ”

Zheng Han took a look at the situation and whispered to the guards who followed, "Wait a while, you find a chance to leave, and go and inform the prince as soon as possible." The guard didn't say much, nodded silently, they all followed the head of the Zheng guard, no matter what he ordered, they would not hesitate to carry it out.

"Stop!" Before the two sides could make a move, they heard someone shouting, Zhao Shuyao ran into the alley, and she was followed by two guards, "What do you want to do in broad daylight?!" Don't be afraid, princess, I'll help you! ”

Zhao Shuyao wanted to run to Ye Qian's side, but Ye Qian was in the innermost part of the alley, with Zheng Han and seven or eight masked men holding swords in the middle, she didn't dare to go over, so she had to let two guards come forward to help. Zhao Shuyao secretly wondered, her plan was to let a few domestic servants pretend to be villains to scare Ye Qian, and she "just happened" to pass by, and the two guards she took with her beat away the villains, she took the opportunity to say that she remembered the wrong place, Ye Qian not only did not blame her, but was very grateful to her, so as to persuade King Yu and keep her father's official position. Now, what's going on with this masked man with a sword in his hand?!

The leader of the masked men made a gesture, and suddenly the sword light flashed, and the two sides fought, and the two guards brought by Zhao Shuyao also rushed forward boldly.

Ye Qian looked over from Lu Fei's shoulder, and saw that those masked people were very fierce, and in the blink of an eye, the guards of the Zhao Mansion fell down, and even Zheng Han looked very struggling. She was secretly anxious, hating herself for being too gullible, not only putting herself in danger, but also burdening everyone.

Zhao Shuyao was also very sure at this time that these masked people were not his own servants, they really wanted to kill Ye Qian! Her face was as white as paper, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat, no, she pointed Ye Qian here, if something happened to her here, it would not be an exaggeration for her family to be punished by the Nine Clans.

Zhao Shuyao bit her lower lip hard, forcing herself to calm down, she pulled out the hairpin on her head, held it in the palm of her hand, and her back was tightly pressed against the wall of the alley, and slipped towards Ye Qian step by step.

The three parties are fighting, and no one really pays attention to her, for the masked man, as long as these guards are eliminated, can the three little girls still run? What's more, Zhao Shuyao walked into the alley, not escaped from the alley, let alone ignored it.

Lu Fei looked at Zhao Shuyao who was approaching vigilantly, and also pulled out her hairpin, if Zhao Shuyao dared to hurt the girl, she would not let her go if she fought for her life.

Zhao Shuyao's legs were already shaking like chaff, her back was completely soaked, she carefully stood beside Lu Fei and Ye Qian, and said tremblingly: "Princess, don't be afraid, I, I protect, you." She thought about it, if anyone came to hurt Ye Qian, she would hack herself to death first, at least so that she could wash away her suspicion and save her father and mother.

Ye Qian couldn't take care of her, her eyes stared nervously at the people who were fighting, the two guards of the Zhao Mansion had already fallen, life and death were unknown, and the little guards who followed Zheng Han didn't know where they went, and now only Zheng Han and these masked people were left.

Ye Qian's hands were clenched tightly, and she didn't know that her nails were pinched into the flesh of her palms, she watched the masked people fall one after another, and saw that only Zheng Han was left, and as soon as her heart settled down, she saw Zheng Han's body shake and also fall.

"Zheng Han!" Ye Qian shouted, rushed to his side, and saw that Zheng Han's face was covered with blood, "Zheng Han!" You don't want to die! Ye Qian's tears swirled in her eyes, she grabbed Zheng Han's shoulder, there was no blood there, obviously not injured, "Zheng Han, you tell me how to save you, please, tell me, Zheng Han, open your eyes, okay?" ”

Zheng Han's eyes finally opened a slit, although the little princess's tears had not fallen, her voice was full of crying, he barely opened his mouth, angry like a gossamer, "Little princess, in the future, don't enter this kind of black alley, don't be fooled again." ”

"I listen to you." Ye Qian nodded again and again, "Zheng Han, tell me, how can I help you?" What can I do to save you? ”

"Lord Wang!" There was a sound of surprise from Lu Fei in his ears, Ye Qian looked back and saw King Yu striding over, and Gonggong Kang trotted behind him.

"Brother Yan!" Ye Qian's tears finally fell, she stood up and plunged into Xiao Yanfeng's arms, "Save him, save him!" Woo, Brother Yan, save Zheng Han, I don't want him to die! ”

Xiao Yanfeng hugged her tightly, his phoenix eyes coldly swept over the masked people who were constantly wailing on the ground, and raised his leg to kick Zheng Han, "Qianqian also praised you for your good skills, saying that you should be killed with a knife, look at you like this!" ”

Zheng Han, who was lying on the ground, jumped up, his posture was vigorous, and he still looked like a gossamer, "Isn't this to leave some life for the prince?" Since the little princess likes to kill with a knife, of course her subordinates must satisfy the little princess. After he finished speaking, the sword was like a swimming dragon, and after a few blows, the masked man on the ground who was wailing was silent.

Ye Qian looked at Zheng Han dumbfounded, raised his hand and pointed at him, there were still some blood stains on his thin white fingers, "You-" He looked alive, and he didn't seem to be injured at all.

Zheng Han smiled and looked at the tears hanging on Ye Qian's white and tender cheeks, "If you can get a tear from the little princess, your subordinates are worth it." He instructed Ye Li in martial arts many times, and he saw Ye Li Ye Qian like his own juniors, and he was very relieved to see Ye Qian crying anxiously for himself.

Gonggong Kang handed Zheng Han a rather admiring look, Chief Zheng Guard, you are really powerful, the little princess also dared to tease, seeing the little princess crying like that, I didn't know how anxious I was before.

King Yu was laughed at by Zheng Han, but he understood Zheng Han's kindness, Qianqian was indeed too reckless this time, Zheng Han hindered her identity, it was always difficult to talk about her, pretending to be dead and making Qianqian anxious, next time she would definitely learn a lesson.

He already knew that there were two groups of people watching the door in the past two days, but he didn't understand who sent them, Ye Qian went out, and the two groups of people left, he sent people to follow, and found that one went to Zhao Mansion and one went to Zhang's Mansion, and then Zhao Mansion and Zhang Mansion each sent people here, and he also hurried over, and also met the guards who reported the news. So, there was no need to leave anything alive, he already knew what was going on.
