Chapter 70: Assassination
"Yan'er, didn't the main hall tell you, only you are allowed to come alone, the main hall has important things to tell you." The second prince looked a little dissatisfied.
"Your Royal Highness is gracious, but the courtiers are just playing with the princess, after all, she is the princess of the Nanban, and the courtiers dare not slack off." Ma Yan'er showed a little aggrieved look, which immediately softened the second prince's heart.
The second prince waved his hand, "That's it, the palace doesn't blame you, since she is here, let's go together." ”
"Princess Rouqing, the main hall has set up a banquet in front, and I hope the princess will taste it." The second prince said lightly to Shen Rouqing, revealing a smile.
Although I didn't want to go, it was just that this was Yan Guo in the end, and Shen Rouqing bowed politely, and went to the pavilion with them.
"Yan'er, try this, this is the main hall personally picked for you." The second prince diligently put a lychee in Ma Yan'er's bowl, looking forward to it.
Ma Yan'er couldn't shirk it, so she could only eat it.
Shen Rouqing sat aside, looking at the second prince's appearance, and knew what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, the palace is a little tired, let's go back to the post station first." After another while, Shen Rouqing got up and retreated.
Before she could leave, Ma Yan'er said, "Your Highness, the princess has come from afar, I'm afraid I don't know the way back, you can send her." ”
"No need!" Shen Rouqing immediately refused.
The second prince didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but he saw Ma Yan'er's expression firm, "Your Highness, if you don't go, I don't want to participate in tomorrow's Nanyuan banquet." ”
"No way!" The second prince hurriedly got up, pulled Ma Yan'er's sleeve, and whispered to her, "Yan'er, you can't go, this palace is looking for you today, just for this matter, okay, is it as long as the palace sends her back, you are willing to go to Nanyuan, rest assured, this palace will send the princess." ”
The second prince said this, and hurriedly left with Shen Rouqing.
Watching them drift apart, Ma Yan'er immediately showed a look of disgust.
When the sun was setting, Mu Qingqing was still wandering around the market, thinking that Fangfei's business was on the right track, and she had also earned some silver, and was picking cloth in a cloth village at the moment.
This is the cloth village in the town, a piece of cloth and a tael of silver, it may not be a good cloth in the eyes of others, but Mu Qingqing understands that the clothes on Zhou Liuyun's body are not good cloth compared to these.
"Is the girl here to choose fabric for the elders?" Seeing Mu Qingqing, Xiao Er, who sold cloth, hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
Mu Qingqing nodded at him and looked at him again, "Shopkeeper, do you have any recommendations?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly pulled out a piece of cloth and said, "Girl, look at this one, it is a newly arrived product, whether it is the color or quality, it is considered to be the best." ”
Mu Qingqing touched the purple fabric, Zhou Liuyun had white skin, and he looked good in such clothes.
"That's it, there's that one, that's the size, help me make two ready-to-wear clothes." Mu Qingqing picked for a while, and then pointed to another piece of cloth on the corner.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and took down the fabric, "A total of three taels of silver, the girl will come to get it tomorrow at noon." ”
Mu Qingqing handed over the silver, took the receipt, and after coming out of the cloth village, it was already dark.
There was a gust of wind blowing behind him, Mu Qingqing shrunk his neck, and he always felt that something was wrong.
When he walked to an alley, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, Mu Qingqing turned around violently, and saw Li Ping holding a dagger in his hand and rushing towards her.
Fortunately, Mu Qingqing was flexible, hurriedly turned around, and dodged this blow, seeing that the person was Li Ping, Mu Qingqing's eyes were shocked, "Why are you!" ”
Wasn't Li Ping exiled, how could he be here!
Li Ping was indeed exiled, but when he passed through the south of the Yangtze River, he was just in time for the flood, and his companions were quickly washed away by the flood.
It's just that he is now a wanted criminal, and after he comes back, he can only survive secretly, and he accidentally found Mu Qingqing, and the seeds of revenge in Li Ping's heart sprouted again.
If it weren't for Mu Qingqing, a cheap woman, his own affairs would not have been exposed, and his future would have been ruined in Mu Qingqing's hands.
It was precisely because of this that Li Ping followed Mu Qingqing all day, in order to kill her to vent his anger.
"Mu Qingqing, Lao Tzu is not finished with you!" The more Li Ping thought about it, the more angry he became, and he stabbed at Mu Qingqing fiercely with a dagger.
In order to dodge, Mu Qingqing had to bend down, but accidentally stepped on a stone, and there was a tingling pain in his ankle, and Mu Qingqing fell to the ground without paying attention.
Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce himself, Mu Qingqing bit his lip tightly, and there was no way to avoid it.
At this moment, a short arrow suddenly slashed and pierced straight into Li Ping's chest, and the blood-stained arrow gushed out from his chest, and Li Ping's body fell straight down.
The tiger's mouth escaped, and Mu Qingqing didn't have time to catch his breath, so he saw the blue figure behind him.
"Who are you?" Mu Qingqing endured the pain, got up and walked towards the figure.
"If I knew it was you, this prince wouldn't have made a move." By the moonlight, Yelu Liangyue saw clearly that the woman in front of her was the little maid beside Weng Feiran.
"What are you doing when you come out to guard your master in the palace so late?" Yelu Liangyue raised his eyebrows, these recent troubles were caused by Weng Feiran to him, seeing this little girl, Yelu Liangyue was a little itchy.
Mu Qingqing didn't expect that it would be Yelu Liangyue who rescued her.
Mu Qingqing took half a step back and bowed to Yelu Liangyue, "Thank you for the prince's rescue." ”
"That's it, it's just a maid, this prince is not a stingy person, little girl, don't run around alone, if the Japanese prince is in a bad mood, you will suffer."
Yelu Liangyue laughed presumptuously twice, looking a little ghostly in the silent night.
Not wanting to have anything to do with him, Mu Qingqing glanced at Li Ping's corpse on the ground and left in a hurry.
It's just that my ankle is injured, and I will inevitably walk slower on the road.
Looking at the stubborn back of the little girl in front of her, Yelu Liangyue squinted her eyes, and there was a fragrance in the air, which made people very fascinated.
As soon as he got home, Mu Qingqing saw Zhou Liuyun waiting at the door.
Seeing that Mu Qingqing was back, Zhou Liuyun relieved himself, "Why is it hurt?" ”
Looking at her limping appearance, Zhou Liuyun asked worriedly.
Mu Qingqing waved her hand absently, "I was tripped when I came back, just rest and rest, don't worry, mother." ”
"It's always so reckless, how can my mother rest assured." Zhou Liuyun stepped forward to support her and walked into the house step by step.
After dinner, Mu Qingqing took out a bill from his arms and handed it to Zhou Liuyun, "Mother, I made two clothes for you in Buzhuang, and you can get them tomorrow at noon, don't forget." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Liuyun was a little surprised, she looked at the bill, then looked at the clothes on her body, and hurriedly refused, "Don't spend that unjust money, the clothes on my body are very good." ”
