Assassination

With just one palm, King Nanyan knocked the killer to the ground, and said anxiously to us, "You're not injured, are you?"

"It's fine," I replied in agreement with the princess.

"Stay still, don't come out," he said, and as soon as the curtain was lowered, he jumped out of the carriage, and immediately many guards surrounded the carriage.

The princess held my hand tightly, and the fighting continued outside, and the guards fought fiercely with the men in black by the carriage.

Suddenly, there was a shrill sound of horses, and then the carriage shook violently, and then rushed forward......

When the curtain was lifted, the horse pulled us like mad and swift, and the princess was very calm, and tried to hold the reins of the horse, but it was too fast.

I hurriedly grabbed her and said, "I'll go."

"No, it's too dangerous", "I'll be careful" I pulled her back, leaning out myself to try to grab her.

After steady, I quickly grabbed the reins, but the carriage was heavily jolted, and I didn't know how to control the horse, so I had to pull the rope and control the balance, but helplessly, the horse ran faster and faster.

After running for a while, the princess seemed to realize something and grabbed my hand, "Xiaoyu, let's jump out of the car, it is estimated that there is a cliff ahead!"

I looked at her, and her eyes must have signaled me to jump down, and my heart was crossed, and I counted three times in my heart, and we jumped down together very tacitly.

She and she rolled quickly towards the haystack on the side, there was nothing to grasp along the way, and they rolled down with all their might, but fortunately I finally grabbed a vine, and the princess was naturally pulled by me.

There was a stinging pain on her body, and she seemed to have hit something, and she frowned in some pain.

"Are you hurt" We rolled to a small slope at this time, I sat up and helped her up, she shook her head, "It's okay, it's you, just fell down hard, did it hurt?"

"I have rough skin and thick flesh, it doesn't hurt" I helped her up and climbed up along the same road, and as soon as I reached the main road, the king of Nanyan galloped with men and horses, and saw us quickly dismount.

"What are you doing?" he walked quickly to the princess.

As soon as the princess wanted to speak, she coughed lightly again, her face was very pale, and King Nanyan immediately became anxious, "You have always been in poor health, I will take you to the imperial doctor."

He picked up the princess and was about to turn around, but he looked at me again, his eyes were very complicated, and then he looked at the princess, she had no strength to lean on his arms, and the king of Nanyan immediately ordered the maid who followed me to hold me, and then got into the carriage.

I was helped by a few maids to get on the horse, and soon came to the Taizu Temple, and the other two ladies, Lian and Zhao, were already waiting at the gate of the temple, and when they saw the king come back, they saluted.

However, King Nanyan was indifferent, and only cared about gently hugging the princess, and walked into the temple without paying attention to them at all.

Lian and Zhao were inevitably unhappy on their faces, but they didn't dare to say anything and walked into the temple, I was supported by the maid, only to feel a sore back and ankle, and limped in.

When she came to the princess's room, there was already a royal doctor who took her pulse, treated the disease, and prescribed some prescriptions.

I saw that this scene was not disturbing, and just as I was about to leave, I saw the princess looking at me.

"Xiaoyu" she saw me coming, got up and got out of bed, Nanyan Wang helped her up, she walked to my side, lifted my sleeve and looked left and right at me, "Are you seriously injured, right back? Hurry up and apply medicine, king, let them all go down, I'm fine"

"You guys go down" He waved his hand, all the imperial doctors quickly retreated, and the princess pulled me up and was about to go to the inner room, but looked at King Nanyan and frowned again, "The king should avoid it, the concubine wants to give medicine to Xiaoyu."

"How is she hurt, this king must know, otherwise he will not worry" King Nanyan looked at me and did not mean to leave.

I was busy saying, "The slave is not seriously injured, but there are some bruises, the king does not have to worry."

King Nanyan just wanted to say something more, but he looked at the princess again, paused for a few seconds and said, "That is the case, this king will come to see you later."

When the princess saw him leaving, she hurriedly pulled me to the bed and sat down, gently unbuttoned my shirt, and sighed when she saw the wound on my back, "There are so many scratches, and I didn't even see you say a word."

I smiled heartlessly, "It hurts at first, but the pain is temporary, and it will be fine when it becomes numb."

She had already started to give me medicine, and when she heard this, she thought about it, and then said, "Yes, numbness, numbness......"

I noticed that my back was a little cold, but it was also much more comfortable, and I listened to her seemingly non-existent words, and my heart was weird.

After applying the medicine, I saw that she was a little tired and retreated back to her room, but as soon as she entered the house, King Nanyan was already inside.

When he saw me come in, he walked up to me and said, "How is the injury?" and he was about to tear off my clothes.

I hurriedly covered my clothes and shook my head repeatedly, "It's okay, it's just a little bruise, the princess has already given me the best medicine."

"You don't let me worry, pretend to be strong" King Nanyan hugged me and sat on the bed.

"The slave is just the princess's maid, and she can't stand the king's favor," I moved to the side, trying to escape from his embrace.

He was displeased, and hugged me even tighter, "You are not a maid, you are my woman, have a good rest, and I will order someone to come for dinner"

Thinking that this King of Nanyan should also deal with today's assassins, it has only been a few days, and it has come in waves, it seems that the ups and downs of this troubled world will come after all.

The next day, it is the priest ceremony, come to the main hall, only to see the hall placed in the spirit seat of the dynasty dynasties, a few monks with crane hair and childish face chanting in their mouths, we kneel on the futon according to the rank, close our eyes, stand solemnly clasped together, after the ceremony is completed, we go to another hall, there are various Buddha statues in the hall, and there is a giant Buddha with a golden body in the middle.

In front of the Buddha statue, the Taoist monk was reverently chanting, after we came in, he stopped and slowly opened his eyes, looked at the people around him, and finally seemed to look at me more and closed his eyes and began to read, and then everyone knelt down to worship the Buddha statue.

After the priesthood was over, the team escorted the royal family back to the palace, but fortunately this time the journey was safe.

——

Just a few days after returning to the palace, Nanyan underwent great changes, first the defection of the ally Beiyan, and then the border wars constantly provoked by the former Qin and other countries, which were enough to make the king of Nanyan anxious for a while.

On this day, I was in the garden with the princess, and when she saw that no one came to my ear, she whispered, "That man has eyebrows, the person I sent out brought back the Zhun letter last night, and I guess he probably fled from Xiliang to Huanchu, and has infiltrated the border of Nanyan in the war."

"Then what's the plan?" I said in a low voice, "The border war continues, King Nanyan will personally go into battle tomorrow, as long as he is not there, he will have a chance to escape from here" The princess is quite confident, I think she must not be as simple as a weak female stream, "The one who should be guarded has been guarded for so long, and now that the Xiliang Kingdom, the father and the king have moved the capital, and it is also rumored that the brother is located, and the war will soon ignite in this land."

I nodded in agreement, history is already predestined, and a change of dynasty is inevitable.

Just as we were about to return to the palace, a eunuch sent the king's order to us to the study.

When we came to the study, the king of Nanyan was standing behind our back to discuss the military situation with the ministers, and the princess and I waited quietly outside.

"This expedition, you two have to go too" King Nanyan bowed his head to the case, holding a pen, and did not raise his head.

I was stunned, does this King of Nanyan still have to bring his wife and concubine to fight?

And the princess also looked at me suspiciously, but quickly said solemnly, "The military camp is important, and women have been forbidden to enter and leave since ancient times, and I am afraid that the king's move is inappropriate."

"This king is the king of a country, since he said it is appropriate, I am not here, I am afraid that the two of you will set off some storms and waves in the palace" King Nanyan put down his pen when he heard this, and walked in front of us and said fiercely.
