The corners of Shen Xihe's lips lifted and lowered his eyes: "You go back to the princess, my body is tired and I don't want to move." ”

As if expecting Shen Xihe to refuse, Gong E said: "The princess ordered the maid to inform the county lord that it is a matter of the prince." ”

The prince in her mouth naturally refers to Shen Yunan.

"What's wrong with Brother?" Shen Xihe frowned and asked.

"I don't know." Xiao Gong'e lowered her head in fear.

"Biyu, you go look for my brother." Shen Xihe glanced at her coldly and ordered.

"No." Jasper immediately saluted and stepped back, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Gong E, who was sent by Princess Changling, clasped her thumbs in front of her chest, and waited with her eyebrows bowed.

Biyu came back after about a quarter of an hour, and her face was a little solemn: "County Lord, the maid didn't find the prince, and I asked people along the way, and I said that I didn't see the prince." ”

After Shen Xihe listened, his eyes stared at Gong E, at first Gong E was still calm, but gradually he also felt cold and cold, and the soles of his feet were cold.

It wasn't until Gong E's face turned pale and she involuntarily lowered her back that Shen Xihe retracted his gaze: "Let's go." ”

Furong Garden is divided into two by Qujiang Pond, today's birthday banquet is on the side of the Water Palace, there are also a lot of performances along the coast, Gong E took them to the water pavilion, the more people walked, the fewer people came, and finally arrived at an inaccessible corner, a small boat was parked.

"Lord of the county, please get on board. The princess is waiting for the county lord in Ziyun Tower. Gong E stood by the river and gave way.

Shen Xihe almost couldn't hear a chuckle, Biyu went up first, stretched out his hand to touch Shen Xihe, and then Gong E, when Hongyu was about to come up, the small caravan was obviously a little unbearable, and Gong E said: "County Lord, the boat is small and can't accept people." ”

"You got this boat on purpose, right?" Jasper frowned dissatisfied.

"I don't know." Gong E lowered her head.

"Ruby, you stay." Shen Xihe commanded.

The Qujiang Pond is brightly lit, there are a lot of boats going back and forth, even Emperor Youning accompanied the Queen Mother on the river, Shen Xihe didn't believe that they still dared to do it in the river, it was really in the river, but it was just a humiliation.

Therefore, when sailing, Shen Xihe always sat calmly, and the boat circled the edge of no one to the opposite bank, and behind the wooden platform on the shore was a forest with dense branches, except for a lantern hanging from the treetops at a distance away, swaying in the wind, and almost nothing else could be seen.

Shen Xihe took Jasper ashore with Gong'e, and the ferryman rocked the boat away, and before entering the woods, Shen Xihe smelled a faint fragrance of mandala flowers, which seemed to be cold and misty in the night, but in fact it was mixed with wisps of cigarettes.

The smell of the mandala flower is not strong, and it is mixed with several hallucinogenic spices that make people confused, and the whole garden is incense everywhere, and it is extremely difficult to detect the difference in the spices, Shen Xihe coughed lightly with a handkerchief.

"County Lord, the cold wind is strong, be careful about the cold." Biyu stepped forward to block Gong E, tied a cloak to Shen Xihe, and handed two tiny tampons to Shen Xihe, Shen Xihe covered them with a handkerchief, stuffed them into his nostrils, and the tampons the size of rice grains were soaked in refreshing incense all year round.

After getting it done, Biyu got out of the way, and followed Gong E forward, and Biyu, who followed Shen Xi and behind him, also plugged her nose when the other party couldn't see it.

However, in just twenty or thirty steps, at the end, Gong E fainted and fell down with a weak leg.

Shen Xihe followed closely and fell directly on Gong'e's body, Jasper seemed to be a little better, and exclaimed, to help Shen Xihe, just squatted down, and fainted in front of him.

The three of them fainted for only a moment, and a man in a night suit rushed out, stared at Shen Xihe, and showed a bright knife, the knife light was cold and sharp in the cold night, and stabbed straight at Shen Xihe.

The moment the tip of the knife fell vertically, Jasper suddenly opened her eyes, pulled out the soft sword at her waist to block a murderous knife, and swept her long legs to attack the lower plate of the man in black, and the man in black immediately jumped away to dodge, and at this moment, a sharp arrow flew in the distance, piercing the opponent's shoulder.

The blade in the black-clothed man's hand fell to the ground, and he was instantly subdued by Jasper, and before they could interrogate, the black-clothed man bit the poison sac and committed suicide.

Biyu helped Shen Xihe up, subdued the unconscious Gong E, and soon someone ran over with a dead man, threw the person down, saluted Shen Xihe, and silently carried the man in black who committed suicide by taking poison and left.

Shen Xihe smiled at this dead man who resisted, and raised his eyes to look at the tall buildings in the distance that were brightly lit and reflected in the night sky.

At the end of the birthday banquet, Emperor Youning accompanied the Queen Mother on a boat and returned to the Water Palace, where the princes and ministers, nobles and ladies all gathered together, waiting for Emperor Youning to speak and disperse, and when everyone returned to the house, a terrible voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty——"

Everyone who was still glowing with pleasure on their faces looked over together, and saw Shen Xihe, who was pale and pale, with their hair loosely tied up and covered in blood mist.

Emperor Youning's face sank, and he strode forward: "Physician! ”

The birthday banquet was already attended by a physician from the Imperial Medical Department, and he walked in front of Shen Xihe almost at the same time as Emperor Youning.

"Your Majesty......" Shen Xihe's voice was weak, "someone wants to ...... Kill me......"

At this moment, the main hall was silent, and no matter how weak Shen Xihe's voice was, it was clearly heard by everyone.

"Let the doctor see you first, I will definitely make the decision for you!" Emperor Youning was very angry, and there were people making trouble at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

"Your Majesty, yes...... It's His Royal Highness King Kang......" Shen Xihe seemed to use his last breath of strength, and after speaking, he fell into Biyu's arms.

The audience was in an uproar, everyone stared at King Kang, and those who were close to King Kang couldn't help but retreat together.

King Kang's face was full of anger, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Emperor Ning: "Your Majesty is clear, the minister will never murder the county lord!" ”

Emperor Youning glanced at King Kang coldly and instructed the doctor: "Treat the injuries of the county lord first!" ”

Shen Xihe was carried to the side hall by Gong E, and after the doctor diagnosed the pulse, he noticed that Shen Xihe was too frightened and unconscious, Shen Xihe was frail, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

Emperor Youning instructed the doctor not to treat Shen Xihe, turned around and asked Shen Xi and the two maids, and at this time, Shen Yunan and Xue Jinqiao, who were also a little embarrassed, rushed back, their clothes were a little messy, Shen Yunan rushed to Shen Xihe's side, his face was pale.

"Back to Your Majesty, it was Princess Changling who made an appointment with Gong'e to meet our county lord......" Biyu clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter, "Fortunately, the maid has practiced martial arts since she was a child and protected the county lord, the assassin was killed by the maid, and she didn't want to say half a sentence before she died, but the county lord didn't know why, and she panicked all the way and muttered that it was King Kang who wanted to kill her." ”

After hearing this, King Kang's heart calmed down a little: "Your Majesty, it must be because the county lord has a gap with his ministers, so he will mistakenly think that the dead ministers are the masterminds." ”

Unexpectedly, Shen Yunan sneered: "Your Majesty, the minister knows why King Kang wants to assassinate his sister." ”

"You say!" Emperor Youning asked.

"A few days ago, she went to the mountains in the south, and accidentally found that someone made a sword privately, and saw His Royal Highness King Kang enter the mountain!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
