Xiao Ce was assassinated

Li Hanning had also heard about her brother before, outsiders only knew that he stayed in Chang'an alone as a hostage, but he died of poisoning the night before he was replaced, and later he also heard Xiao Ce mention that Yun Yan wrote in a secret letter to him that her brother was unwilling to go back to the north to take poison and commit suicide.

Now that the world is peaceful, it is understandable that Yun Yan wants to take his bones back to the north.

But seeing that the old people she didn't know much in Luoyang City were about to leave again, she was naturally a little reluctant in her heart, Yun Yan was not like others, she left Luoyang this time, as she said, it would probably take a long time to see her again.

Li Hanning bowed slightly: "Zhenbei Hou take care all the way." ”

Yun Yan didn't open her mouth to persuade her to go back to the Prince's Mansion, it was also because she knew that Li Hanning was actually very stubborn in her heart, and between her and Xiao Ce, if there was always someone who had to bow his head first, it could only be Xiao Ce.

Yun Yan looked at her and said: "You too, you also take care, when this child in your belly is born in the future, I will give a big gift from the north, we have already said it, whether this is a boy or a girl, I want to be the godmother of this child, and you can't break your word when the time comes." ”

When Yun Yan said this, she was afraid that Li Hanning would regret it, she was designated to be unmarried in her life, but she had a high vision, and she couldn't look down on ordinary children, like Li Hanning's child, she liked it very much.

Li Hanning looked at her, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

This child has her as a godmother, which is naturally its luck.

Li Hanning is now in a lot of physical discomfort, but seeing that Yun Yan is leaving, she still sent her all the way downstairs, stood at the door of the inn, and watched Yun Yan's men lead the horse over, she turned over and jumped on the horse's back cleanly.

Yun Yan grabbed the horse rope with one hand, controlled the horse under her crotch, glanced back, and waved her other hand in the direction where Li Hanning was:

"It's windy outside, go back quickly, take care of yourself in the future!"

Li Hanning stood in place and waved at her, and she stood there and watched the two fast horses gallop away.

But since Yunyan left, I don't know if it's because of the child or because of Li Hanning's own body, Li Hanning only feels more and more tired and sleepy, only twelve hours a day, she often falls asleep for more than half of the time.

But on this night, Li Hanning unexpectedly woke up from his sleep without warning, and then he couldn't sleep anymore after tossing and turning, but there was still a long time before dawn, Li Hanning finally sat up, afraid of catching a cold and put on the clothes he wore on the bedside.

She glanced at the campfire in the stove beside her, and when she went to the window, she noticed that there seemed to be more guards patrolling the street tonight.

In fact, since Xiao Ce knew that she was still alive, he had added a lot of patrolling guards to the streets near this Bangfeng Inn, but tonight, these Praetorian Guards who came and went seemed a little abnormal, and Li Hanning instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

As soon as Li Hanning opened the door here, he found that Guanlan was standing at his door, he usually stayed by Xiao Ce's side these days, Li Hanning remembered him, he was the best martial artist in this batch of secret guards.

But at this moment, the person with the best martial arts was looking at her with some surprised eyes.

Li Hanning's intuition told her that this was abnormal, so she asked straight to the point, "What's wrong?" ”

Guanlan naturally couldn't hide things in his eyes, and quickly shook his head and said:

"I didn't ...... It's okay, why did the girl wake up in the middle of the night, is there anything you need, you can order it at any time. ”

When Li Hanning was about to go out, he was stopped by Guanlan, who was blocking him, and Li Hanning looked at him again.

Guanlan looked stunned, and then said hesitantly: "Girl, it's snowing outside, the weather is cold, the girl should stay in the inn, if the girl goes out in case she catches a cold, I really can't explain it to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Hanning flashed sideways cleanly, and looked at Guanlan sharply: "It's okay if I don't go out, you tell me what's going on outside?" ”

Guanlan was still hesitating, Li Hanning glanced at the inn that was silent at the moment, and the contrast with the hurried footsteps not far outside was somewhat distinct:

"You're the only one here, aren't you? If I have to go out now, are you going to do it with me? ”

Of course, Guanlan knew who she was, although she was called a girl, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never dismissed her as a general, and whether she could beat her or not, the main thing is that where do they dare to do anything with her now, Guanlan immediately bowed his head and said:

"The minister didn't dare to stop the general."

He was silent for a while, but still said: "It's Your Highness that something happened, and now the whole city of Luoyang is under martial law and is searching for assassins." ”

Li Hanning was shocked for a moment when he heard this, and then he looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Assassin? Your Highness is injured? When was this? ”

When I saw Xiao Ce during the day, he was obviously fine.

Now that the words have come to this, although their Royal Highness has also specially explained this matter before and did not let her know, but now in order to prevent her from leaving this inn, Guanlan has no choice but to say frankly:

"It was His Royal Highness on the way back to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met an assassin at that time, although the assassin has not been caught yet, but it should be the former ministers of the Prince's Mansion before, they have always been dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince's succession to the throne of the Prince, and now they have seized the opportunity - His Royal Highness has not let Xingshi move the crowd these times, so there are very few guards who followed, so they seized the opportunity, but the girl can rest assured, the imperial doctors have gone to the Prince's Mansion overnight, and His Royal Highness the Prince will be fine."

He had happened on the way home, and if he hadn't been coming to this inn lately, he wouldn't have happened on the way back. At least every time he went out, he was followed by the secret guards, and most of the reason was because Xiao Ce dropped the secret guards near these inns to protect her.

Li Hanning tightened the cloak on his body when he heard this, and said to the person in front of him:

"I'll go back to the Prince's Mansion now."

Guanlan was a little surprised by this, because Li Hanning said that he was going back instead of going.

"But it's snowing outside, girl, and it's getting late at night, so it might be safer for me to have a carriage brought in early to-morrow morning."

If it is normal, this is the safest way, but Li Hanning glanced outside, the night is still long tonight, Xiao Ce is injured now, and she doesn't know what the specific situation is in the prince's mansion, she doesn't want to wait any longer.

"It's fine."

Guanlan hesitated for a moment, with the fact that she was now pregnant, she couldn't take the risk of riding a horse again, right?

"Well, then, the girl will wait a moment, and I'll go find the carriage."

Li Hanning looked at Guanlan and knew that he was also motivated by good intentions, her hand caressed her abdomen, but she still took a step back and said, "Then I have you to lose." ”

The Prince's Mansion was brightly lit tonight, and the guards and maids were either hurriedly walking back and forth, or gathered not far outside the room where Xiao Ce was sleeping, all waiting anxiously.

Li Hanning followed Guanlan all the way into the courtyard unimpeded, and he didn't even have to tell anyone.

There was a strong smell of blood in the courtyard, blood was sprinkled in the snow on the side, and no one even had time to clean it, Li Hanning glanced at the somewhat messy courtyard, and followed behind Guanlan quietly.

When Guanlan walked to the door of the room, he stopped, turned around, and said to Li Hanning behind him:

"Your Highness should be in the room now, girl, go in now."

Li Hanning nodded and walked past him, the new maid on the side didn't quite understand, who could go in to see the prince without passing the word at this time?

So he leaned closer, lowered his voice, looked at Guanlan and asked:

"Who is the girl who just went in?"

It was the first time since she was on an errand in the Prince's Mansion that she had seen such a woman of unknown origin in the Prince's Mansion, who could enter without being transmitted.

Guanlan glanced at her, knew that she was new here, and didn't blame her much.

"That is General Li Hanning Li, who is His Royal Highness's sweetheart, and probably the future crown princess."

Here, Li Hanning just walked into the house, the room where Xiao Ce slept was not big, and at this moment, there was a strong smell of blood, and she almost subconsciously had some range.

Xiao Ce, who was lying on the soft couch, seemed to hear the movement here, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Didn't I say that I don't have anything to do, so why don't you all go and rest, what-"

He stopped halfway through his words, for he looked up and saw who had entered the room as he had said this, and paused in disbelief before he tentatively said:

"Han Ning?"

He struggled to get up, but the wound on his left shoulder immediately caused him to gasp.

Li Hanning hurriedly stepped forward and sat next to the soft couch: "Don't move, be careful of the wound on your shoulder." ”

Xiao Ce had no choice but to lie back half-lying down again, Li Hanning checked his injury, fortunately the wound was not deep, it should be caused by a sharp knife, but fortunately, the assassin's knife was not quenched, and it would be fine to recuperate quietly for a few days.

Xiao Ce always didn't seem to care about the wounds on his body, but instead looked at the person in front of him:

"Why are you here, it's still snowing outside, you have to come from so far away, didn't Guanlan tell you with a lot of mouths, I obviously told him-"

Li Hanning frowned and looked at the person in front of him: "Are you going to hide it from me?" ”

Seeing her frowning, Xiao Ce was a little weak-hearted:

"That's not what I mean, I heard the doctor say, you can't worry too much now, I'm afraid that you will worry about the health of you and the child."

Li Hanning shook his head and said, "It's not Guanlan who said it, I woke up in the middle of the night and heard martial law on the street, and I knew that you had met an assassin." ”
