Chapter 244: Tacit
Ning Jingshui didn't stay long, and after writing a prescription for people to go down to decoction the medicine, he went to the emperor's tent to resume his life.
Shen unscrewed the handkerchief and handed it to Xue Nuo: "I have covered up the matter of your riding and archery for you, and if anyone asks about it in the future, you will say that I taught it." ”
Xue Nuo took the handkerchief in his hand, looked up and smiled: "Good buddy! ”
She had already pulled Shen out to endorse in front of Zhao Sufu and them before, and now it is of course better for this wronged boss to be willing to carry the pot by himself.
Holding a handkerchief and trying to wipe the blood on his fingers, who knows the wound on his shoulder.
Xue Nuo's painful face was wrinkled together, and he didn't bother to do it again, so he directly threw the handkerchief aside: "By the way, are there any other assassins in the forest?" ”
Shen nodded: "Yes, the forbidden army captured two alive, and a few were killed on the spot during the fight, those people and the two assassin corpses that you shot have been brought back, and handed over to An Guogong for interrogation, should be able to find out something." ”
Xue Nuo was surprised: "An Guogong? Why did he come to trial? ”
Shen said lightly: "Xiao Chi's escort is not good, he was taken advantage of the loophole and was punished with a cane, Feng Yuan was also angered by His Majesty because of his close belongings. An Guogong was born as a military general at the earliest, with a delicate mind and always loyal to the king, although he turned against the eldest princess, he still won the trust of His Majesty. ”
"After the accident in the paddock this time, His Majesty obviously didn't believe in other people, so he handed over the matter to An Guogong to investigate, and asked the prince to assist."
Xue Nuo heard this, I see.
After Shen finished speaking, he poured a glass of water and put it beside Xue Nuo, and then took a half step back: "When you were unconscious just now, there were many people who came to inquire about the news, in addition to those who came and went with the Shen family, Bai Jinyuan and the county lord of Linyang also came. ”
He paused,
"Bai Jinyuan is very concerned about things in the forest."
Xue Nuo was stunned for a moment, and before he could figure out what Shen Ke meant by what he deliberately said, he saw Shen Ke suddenly get up: "Since you are fine, you should rest, I will let Bao Pu and Jiang Cheng come over and stay outside the tent with Jin Feng, and let them help you with anything." ”
Xue Nuo saw that he was halfway through his speech and suddenly left, only then did he realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped him: "Shen Ke." ”
Shen looked at her.
Xue Nuo hesitated: "Are you angry?" ”
Shen Ke's eyebrows were cold: "No." ”
Xue Nuo saw that his face was faint, although his expression was as usual, but she was keenly aware that this person was different from usual, like being stuffed in a turtle shell and holding a sense of depression, and the whole body was not so comfortable.
She couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with you?" Is there something wrong with the prince's side, or is His Majesty angry with the prince and the Shen family because of the attack on the hunting ground? ”
She looked puzzled,
"Although the matter of the autumn hunt was prepared by the prince, it was Jinlin Wei and the forbidden army who were responsible for the defense, even if he blamed the people of the fourth battalion on the outskirts of Beijing for not being able to protect the assassins and let the assassins into the hunting ground, he shouldn't take the matter out of the prince, right? Besides, when he encountered a wild wolf in the forest, it was the people around him who made a mistake and colluded with others. ”
"The twelve eunuchs of the inner court are all in Feng Yuan's hands, and the people who serve him are even more carefully selected, if the prince can stretch his hand to those people, then he should be restless, right?"
Xue Nuo's eyebrows almost furrowed together.
The reason why she didn't move directly towards Emperor Tianqing in the forest was because she noticed that Emperor Tianqing had been manipulated, and she was not the only one in this enclosure who wanted Emperor Tianqing's life, and even someone wanted to kill Emperor Tianqing like she did to Xiao Chi.
At that moment, the first thought that flashed through her was that if Emperor Tianqing died in the forest, what would happen to the crown prince and the Shen family, and could she get out of the way?
The answer is, no.
Emperor Tianqing died, and the crown prince was in charge of arranging the hunt, and would be suspected of colluding with the assassins.
The Duke of Chengguo and the third prince who have just been pressed down will jump out again, and the fourth prince will not be willing to let him succeed to the throne, the second prince and the fifth prince who are hiding in the shadows are ready to move, and there is a Xiling King with a heavy army whose purpose is unknown, and even the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the sick seedling who are hidden in the shadows do not know their intentions.
Although there are old ministers in the court who support the East Palace, the prince has no military power in his hands, and Feng Yuan, Yan Ling and Xiao Chi will not listen to his transfer.
Once Emperor Tianqing died, the crown prince and the Shen family, including her, would probably have to die in this hunting ground.
When there was chaos in the court, the position of the prince was the prince's talisman.
Xue Nuo thought a lot in her mind at the moment when she held the bow, she would never let herself let the prince and the Shen family become victims of other people's calculations, so that arrow would choose to shoot at the assassin in the forest, and she had already thought about the follow-up between the lightning and flint, and determined that the matter involved the inner court, and the prince could not interfere in the affairs of the inner palace, and Emperor Tianqing should not blame him.
Did something go wrong?
Shen saw her eyebrows tightly and said, "Don't think about it, the prince is fine, and His Majesty is not angry with him." ”
Xue Nuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what's wrong with you, who recruited you?" ”
Shen saw that after she was relieved of her nervousness, she avoided the wound and leaned on the pillow with a boneless lazy look, similar to the two of them when she was holding a longbow in the forest and killing coldly, he opened his mouth: "You ......"
Xue Nuo tilted his head to look at him, as if waiting for him to follow, but the person on the other side only said one word and then there was no follow-up.
"What am I?" Xernoe was inexplicable.
Shen suddenly didn't want to ask: "It's nothing, you have to rest." ”
Xue Nuo glared at him: "Are you teasing me?" ”
Shen eased his expression and said softly: "I didn't tease you, I just want to say that Your Majesty looks at you differently now, and the credit for saving the driver in the forest will be rewarded even if you are not allowed to use an official position." ”
"If you're okay, you can think about what you want from Your Majesty tomorrow after seeing him, as for the assassin's affairs, An Guogong and the crown prince are here, don't worry about it."
Xue Nuo suddenly came to his senses: "Can you really please?" ”
Shen said: "What can't you ask for the merit of saving the driver?" Your Majesty is affectionate but affectionate, you saved him, except for what you shouldn't want, you can ask for it. ”
Thin affection refers to Emperor Tianqing's cold nature, and everything is an ant for the sake of imperial power.
Affection means that he doesn't mind showing his affectionate and righteous side to the outside world on the premise of not hurting his own interests.
He cherishes feathers and wants people to praise Mingjun, so as long as Xue Nuo is not a threat to Emperor Tianqing and is not insatiable, Emperor Tianqing will definitely reward her.
Xue Nuo understood what Shen Qi meant, and winked and laughed evilly: "I know, I will definitely knock him well!" ”
Shen told Xue Nuo a few words to let her rest before leaving first.
When he saw his figure out of the tent, Xue Nuo looked at the hanging curtain with a smile for a moment, remembering that Shen Da Fool just now obviously wanted to speak but stopped but endured it, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, stunned that he didn't ask at all.
She couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, and Peach Blossom snorted with a smile in her eyes: "It's not too stupid." ”
