Li Hanning glanced at the wounds on his body, and then asked, "Did those assassins catch them?" ”

When Xiao Ce heard this, he frowned and quickly shook his head:

"They said they were here to avenge Xiao Sheng, maybe there were other reasons, fortunately, the secret guards around me came in time, but unfortunately they still let them run."

Xiao Ce recalled the scene at that time, those people heard the footsteps of the secret guards, although they were unwilling to give up, they may feel that there is still a chance in the future, so they have to retreat.

One of them also said to him, "If you are lucky this time, it will not be so simple next time." ”

Xiao Ce didn't say this to Li Hanning, there were some things she didn't need to know, he just looked at the person in front of him and said slowly: "This time it is indeed my carelessness, be more careful when you go out in the future, you don't have to worry." ”

But now that there is such a thing as an assassination, how can Li Hanning not worry, if an assassination fails to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, there will be a next time, those people in black have been planning for so long, this time they didn't succeed, naturally there will be a next time, Li Hanning knows in his heart that this is the same as when the Li Mansion was in power in Chang'an, there were always people who were ambushed in the shadows and waited for the opportunity to assassinate Li Zhao.

It can't go on like this, Xiao Ce, if he always goes back and forth between the Prince's Mansion and the Bangfeng Inn like this, it will not only attract gossip from others, but also these assassins who are eyeing each other.

So Li Hanning looked at Xiao Ce in front of him and said rarely: "When I came in and passed by the side garden, I saw that the house there was still empty, so I'll come back and live." ”

Xiao Ce was stunned, and after a while he understood the meaning of her words, he was naturally happy that she was willing to live back, and it didn't matter if she was still angry about that incident, as long as she was willing to live back, it was better than staying at Bangfeng Inn.

If this is the case, these injuries on his body are not in vain.

The joy in Xiao Ce's tone was almost impossible to hide: "Okay, I'll send them over to clean up." ”

It's like I'm afraid that she will get angry again and regret what she just said.

And here in the entire Luoyang City, it is the most quiet time at night, except for the Prince's Mansion, which is busy, Zhaoyue did not fall asleep.

Several injured black-clothed people took advantage of the moonlight to check the surroundings and did not follow before they dared to enter the princess's mansion through the back door.

Zhao Yue was dressed in the moonlight and sat on a stone chair in the courtyard.

The man in black looked at the back of Zhaoyue in front of him, stood in place and saluted her respectfully:

"We have already complied with Her Royal Highness the Princess's request, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only suffered some skin injuries."

She had already heard about the cause of the incident, and Zhao Yue glanced at the injuries of the man in black, none of these assassins she had been raising in the past, and they were not caught by those Praetorian Guards.

She stood up and said: "You have done a good job in this matter, this silver has been rewarded to you, the limelight is tight these days, and I will find someone to send you out of the city in some time, and you don't have to go back to Luoyang in the future, you should know what to say and what not to say, what to do and what not to do." ”

The man in black, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all bowed their heads and responded:

"I'll get it."

Of course, they knew in their hearts that although they were loyal to Zhaoyue to do these things, the person who assassinated them was Xiao Ce, the current prince and future emperor, Zhaoyue naturally would not stay by their side anymore, and being able to leave Luoyang, a place of right and wrong in the future, was already the best result for people like them.

Zhao Yue glanced at them again and said, "If you understand, go down, change your clothes, and burn this one on your body." ”

The men in black replied in unison, "Yes." ”

Zhaoyue watched them leave, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't really want to hurt Xiao Ce when she came to these people, but just let him suffer a little flesh injury, firstly, because of Li Hanning's matter, people's hearts are long, if she expected it to be good, as soon as this matter comes out, Li Hanning should go back to live in the prince's mansion, which can be regarded as letting her second brother get what he wants.

In fact, it is good that Li Hanning is willing to live in the Bangfeng Inn, but after all, she still has a child in her belly, Zhaoyue has never believed Li Zhao, he was also the city lord of the separatist side in the past, even if the world is stable now, that child is also their Xiao family's blood after all, and staying there is always a hidden danger.

Second, recently, the courtiers have some whispers in their hearts about Xiao Ce, who did not return to his prince's mansion after the next dynasty but went back and forth to the Wanfeng Inn, and now that such a thing has happened, of course, the safety and security of his second brother are important, and those people's attention must always be diverted.

Except for her second brother, who has to suffer a little, this matter is good for everyone, Zhaoyue only hopes that these assassins will know the severity when they attack at that time, but according to the news coming back now, there should not be any big mess, even if Xiao Ce knows that she did this in the future, she probably won't blame her.

Since the beginning of winter in Luoyang City, the prince's mansion is indeed much more comfortable than the inn, the thick cotton curtain is covered on the door, isolating the cold air outside, Li Hanning has become a little sleepy and sleepy during the day, and there is no military general to do anything in the court now, she doesn't have to go to the court, and the people in the house will let her sleep and rest, and she will only wake her up when she eats according to the doctor's explanation.

During this period, she met Chang'an and Liu Ling, Liu Ling has now become a majestic young general, working under Lu Changfeng's hands, Liu Ling After two years of experience in the barracks, I don't know when she started to fade away from the childishness when she met in Yueqi City, and now she looks more calm.

Liu Ling has never mentioned the things in the barracks when she saw her these few times, but they are all things that seem to be short in the family, such as he will pick a chair to move over and sit next to her and say: "By this time next year, it will be convenient for Master, I will take Master to the city wall north of Luoyang, I have been in Luoyang for so many days, the scenery there is the best, you can see Luoshui, you can also see the Siyun Tower on the riverside, especially when the sun sets at dusk, it is even more beautiful than the scenery on the head of Yueqi City." ”

Li Hanning probably knew in her heart that she might not be able to wait for that time, she didn't want to stay in Luoyang anymore, but she didn't tell Xiao Ce her future plans, but she always felt that no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.

So Li Hanning just said: "Okay, if there is anything to see, you can see it first, and when I am free, it will not be too late for me to go and see it." ”

Liu Ling nodded, and quickly mentioned another thing: "I have also practiced diligently recently, and I have never slacked off for a moment, listening to His Royal Highness the Prince, when the spring is a little warmer next year, I still plan to go south to attack Yanyun Ten Prefectures." ”

Although Li Hanning knew in his heart how long Xiao Ce had waited for this battle, he didn't want to just let Da Zhou become the second big beam, he also wanted to do what Da Liang didn't do. Xiao Ce has prepared a lot for this battle, of course, he will not give up lightly, when the weather is warm in spring next year, he will collect a wave of grain as military rations, and at that time, the ice on the banks of the Nanjiang River has almost melted, and he can sail south, which is naturally the best time to attack southern Xinjiang, but for the affairs of southern Xinjiang, not only Xiao Ce, but also has regrets in her heart.

Liu Ling didn't know this, but said in high spirits: "I still want to go south with the army, and when the time comes, whether it is Master or General Lu in command, Liu Ling is willing to be a pioneer." ”

Li Hanning listened to him say this, but he smiled and said: "It's naturally good that you have such ambition, but there is still a period of time, practice martial arts well during this time, if you encounter any problems or troubles, you can come to me, or you can go to Changfeng." ”

Liu Ling said seriously: "Thank you, Master." ”

Li Hanning sometimes thought when he saw him, since she accepted this apprentice, she basically didn't do anything for him, if she left in the future, she had to seriously entrust him to Lu Changfeng to take care of, his apprentice was so sensible that it was easy for people to forget that he was still young.

As for Chang'an, now that the power of the Prince's Mansion no longer exists, he no longer has to be affected by those things in the past, but he doesn't seem to be able to let go of the guilt for her, Li Hanning also sent someone to find Chang'an, and he always knew that he was doing well, so he didn't bother him anymore.

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Li Hanning had lived here for more than a month, and Xiao Ce came here almost every night, just quietly with her, sleeping beside her, just like before, as if nothing had happened and nothing had changed.

Until the past few days, he moved to the study, Li Hanning, he would sleep all afternoon during the day, and it was not until the evening that he had some strength to wake up and bring some pastries to see him, Xiao Ce was originally reviewing the folds, and when he looked up and saw that she had come in, he hurriedly put down the folds in his hand and put the brush on the desk on the side.

Xiao Ce quickly stood up and took the food box from her hand and placed it on the table:

"It's okay for them to do these things, you can't walk now, so stay in the room and have a good rest."

Li Hanning didn't talk, just nodded, indicating that she knew.

Li Hanning's eyes inadvertently glanced at the folds on the bookcase, Emperor Xiao's body has been worse day by day since the winter, since a few months ago, Xiao Ce has been reviewing and handling the folds in the court, but no matter how troublesome things are, he can also handle them one by one, and the criticism has reached this time. Li Hanning also knew that the court was in trouble, but she was afraid that these things would upset her, so she never mentioned it in front of her.

Li Hanning probably knew this, so he never asked, and he simply sent some snacks today.

Li Hanning said to Xiao Ce: "It's not too early, let's rest early after reading these twists and turns." ”

Xiao Ce quickly stood up and sent the person to the door, and watched her leave before he was relieved:

"Okay, it won't be long, don't worry."
