Under Xiao Yuehuai's instructions, Ah Lu quietly slipped down Changjing Mountain, found Xun Chong who was being deployed in the marching camp tent stationed at the foot of the mountain, and truthfully informed him of Su Ying's injury.

In less than a stick of incense, Xun Chong brought a medical officer and followed Ah Lu to Kongqing Garden.

The candlelight flickered, and a sound burst in the center of the ash.

Su Ying woke up in the dim light, opened her inky cold eyes, struggled for a moment, and found that she had changed into a new set of robes. Turning her head, she saw the princess standing in front of the window, revealing half of her face, full of trouble.

"Princess?" He called softly.

Xiao Yuehuai turned his head and said with some surprise: "General Su woke up so quickly?" ”

Su Ying propped up half of her body, touched the wound on her shoulder that was bandaged with gauze, and looked at the princess silently.

Xiao Yuehuai explained: "Look at your appearance... As if you don't want people to know that you were injured in a fight with the Assassins. I took some effort to get people to go down the mountain to find Xun Chong, and the injuries on your body were handled for you by the medical officer of the General's Mansion. ”

Su Ying relaxed: "Thank you, princess." ”

At this time, Xun Chong walked into the house with the medicine, and saw that the man had woken up, so he hurriedly rushed forward and said, "General! ”

The iron-boned man had red eyes, half-knelt beside the bed and whimpered, "You're about to die of scare..."

Su Ying sighed: "Okay." The princess is here, how can you let you lose your temper? ”

Xun Chong's eyes were full of tears, he sniffed, turned to the window and kowtowed solemnly to Xiao Yuehuai: "The last general is rude, I hope the princess will forgive her sins." Thank you, Princess, for today's events, if you hadn't stopped the bleeding and treated the general's wounds in time, I'm afraid things would have been even worse. ”

Su Ying was stunned: "Yes... The princess stopped the bleeding for me? ”

He looked down at the charcoal basin and soldering iron by the window, and frowned inadvertently.

Xiao Yuehuai laughed dryly, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't thank you so much, General Xun hurry up..."

"When my brother was injured in the past, I saw how the doctors used a soldering iron to stop the bleeding, so I tried it myself. Actually, this is not appropriate, I am not good at it after all. I wouldn't have dared to do this unless it was an emergency, but fortunately the general was fine. ”

She panicked and covered it up.

But Su Ying still noticed something strange: Princess Huaicheng had never left Jinling City, and her brother King Xuan had not suffered such a serious sword wound, so it was obvious that what the princess had just said was just a pretext. But why did she use the technique of stopping bleeding and bandaging when she was marching?

What is she hiding?

The question flashed through Su Ying's mind. He thought of the voice that the princess blurted out under the corridor just now: Listen to Brother Wu.

How did she know that Yuanyuchuan would come?

Su Ying pressed the corners of her mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "The minister is fortunate to be rescued by the princess." ”

He leaned over his body and bowed slightly, with all his caution.

Xiao Yuehuai stared at him for a moment, moved his eyes slightly, and gradually lowered his eyes, and whispered: "The general is seriously injured and should not stay in the palace anymore, and he needs to return to the palace as soon as possible to recuperate." Why don't I send someone to send you down the mountain quietly? ”

Who knew that Su Ying said: "The Qu Qi banquet has not officially started yet, if I leave at this time, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion." ”

Xiao Yuehuai was surprised and said, "Do you want to continue to participate in the banquet?" You're so badly injured... Aren't you afraid of being seen by others? ”

"Those who march in the army can still travel a hundred miles if they are injured, and they will not get in the way." With that, Su Ying got up from the bed, his steps staggered, but he quickly stood firm.

Xiao Yuehuai was puzzled: "Why did the general hide the matter of fighting with the assassins today?" If your father had known, he would have rewarded you. And you're deliberately avoiding it... Isn't that missing out on a piece of credit? ”

Su Ying slowly moved her steps, came to the window, supported the pillar on the side with her arms, and found a fulcrum for herself: "The minister doesn't care about this, I wish the princess is safe." Now that the goal has been achieved, why make a fuss about it? ”

He wouldn't tell the truth.

Xiao Yuehuai heard the words and raised her eyes to look at Su Ying. He just stood there, but it seemed out of reach.

Su Ying is really a person full of secrets.

The silver outside the window sprinkled down like a flower, shining on Lang Jun's mask, revealing a sense of mystery.

"That's it."

Xiao Yuehuai finally relented: "There is still an hour before the start of the dinner, and the general will rest here." I'll first go to the Purple Hall and inquire about the Assassins. If the situation is serious, tonight's banquet may not be possible. At that time, I will be able to send the general home to recuperate. ”

Su Ying was silent.

Xiao Yuehuai couldn't get his words, so she had to give up and leave the cabin with Ah Lu.

The moment the door closed—inside and outside the house, Lang Jun and the girl, their expressions sank.

Bypassing the corridor, Xiao Yuehuai grabbed Ah Lu beside her, lowered her head and instructed in her ear: "Go find a few capable people and keep an eye on all sides of the carriage." If the general or Xun Chong came out of the house, he would secretly follow them, record their whereabouts and report to me. ”

Ah Lu was stunned and said, "The princess is going to guard against the general?" Do you suspect that today's assassination has something to do with him? ”

Xiao Yuehuai shook his head: "I don't suspect him about this." In a word... Some can't say it, and I think there must be something else hidden in him to hide his injury. ”

Ah Lu didn't ask any more questions, nodded his head and agreed to the matter, and sneaked out of the backyard.

Xiao Yuehuai did not immediately go to the Purple Tree Palace, but waited for Yuanyu Chuan to come and find her.

In the previous life, the assassination of Kong Qingyuan did not succeed, and the emperor not only did not order the banquet to be stopped after learning the news, but even deliberately set a trap in order to lure out the real culprit behind the scenes.

And this plan to lure the enemy is exactly what Yuan Yuchuan thinks. In order to protect the safety of the Qingyuan, Yuan Yuchuan secretly told her about it, and arranged for dozens of forbidden soldiers to guard outside, so that she could spend this banquet without danger.

Xiao Yuehuai thought about it seriously: Although today's scene is different from what she remembers, except for Su Ying's appearance, most of them are still consistent. According to Fang Cai's situation, she deduced that Yuan Yuchuan would definitely come to inform the plan, so she waited patiently in the front yard, ready to take the next move.

Things turned out to be as she expected—

Half an hour later, Yuan Yuchuan led twenty Praetorian Guards back to Kongqingyuan.

Xiao Yuehuai stayed in the front hall and deliberately behaved restless, irritable and panicked, and when she saw Yuanyu Chuan, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Listen to Brother Wu? How's it going? Is the father and queen mother okay? Did the Assassins catch it? ”

Lang Jun comforted her and said, "Rest assured, princess, Your Majesty and the queen are all fine." I have reported this matter, and the whole of the Purple Hall has strengthened its defenses. As for the assassins... The Praetorian Army is searching the entire mountain. ”

Xiao Yuehuai patted her chest, sighed and said, "That's good." What did the Father say? Will the feast continue? ”

Yuanyuchuan frowned and said: "The major families have gathered in Jinling for thousands of miles with the hibiscus jade brand, and the Quyu banquet can't be said to be done without it. So..."

Xiao Yuehuai said nervously: "The assassin hasn't been caught yet, if you want to continue the banquet, won't it put everyone in danger?" ”
