As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone approaching him. She was alert for two points, and Ning Xun smoothed her back, like soothing a frightened cat: "Our people." ”

Almost at the same time, a group of guards in nightwear appeared three feet away, kneeling in their direction and saluting.

The first one said: "The subordinates are late to save the car, please punish Your Highness." ”

Ning Xun coughed twice, called his name directly, and motioned for him to step forward: "Qingheng." ”

Qing Heng's face changed - as the commander of His Highness's shadow guard, he only waited for His Highness to send him, and he had never been exposed to anyone.

In other words, he and his shadow guards, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, no one knew of their existence.

The shadow guard was originally selected and promoted from the army one by one when His Royal Highness was personally recruiting in the frontier.

The selection of the shadow guards is strict, so they are all first-class masters, and they swear to be loyal to the prince alone, which is more useful than the dead soldiers.

Qing Heng knew that the shadow guard was a hole card in His Highness's hand, so he had been careful to do things all these years, lest he be exposed in front of others.

And now, His Royal Highness called him straight in front of this woman.

The meaning is self-evident.

He looked up in disbelief, but he could only take the order in a deep voice and stepped forward.

Your Highness...... It's to give her the truth.

The injuries on Ning Xun's body couldn't be delayed any longer, so he only let the rank pool see Qing Heng first, and then went back to the camp tent to deal with the wounds.

He didn't have time to explain anything, but he vaguely understood in his heart when he noticed that these guard-looking people were escorting them all the way, but they were close to the camp tent.

It was already late at night, His Royal Highness and Miss Song went out in the evening and never came back, Huaihe was looking around in front of the tent, and it was easy to see the figure, but it was Miss Song who helped His Highness staggered here.

He didn't have time to see it clearly, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Your Highness, what's the matter?" How did you get out like this? ”

When you look closer, it's even more shocking.

The two of them were soaked, and His Royal Highness the Prince's robe was soaked with blood of different shades, and it was still seeping out.

"Assassinated." Title Chi said briefly, "Go and call the imperial doctor!" Your Highness's injury can't be delayed. ”

Huaihe hurriedly went to hold Ning Xun's other shoulder, and glanced at Ning Xun first when he heard this.

Ning Xun lifted his eyelids, and his voice was empty: "Listen to her." ”

After receiving the order, Huaihe immediately urgently called the palace people to invite - in the past, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured, he personally guarded His Royal Highness's side, and arranged for other palace people to call people, in case someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

This time, he was held down by His Royal Highness, "You go and invite it personally." The imperial doctors who were traveling with him all called over, and when they made a big fuss, they said...... Lone is dying. ”

Huaihe hesitated. His Highness said this, of course, His Highness has his own arrangements, but if he is not there, who will be left here? Miss Song? Her identity is not a knife for Her Highness......

Ning Xun saw through what he was thinking, and simply ordered: "If Gu is not there in the future, everyone in the East Palace will follow her words." ”

The meaning of this is too straightforward.

Huaihe was shocked, and he didn't think about it anymore, even if he was ordered to ask the imperial doctor.

Zhichi helped Ning Xun to lie down on the couch, and didn't speak again for a while, just quietly guarding him, waiting for the imperial doctor to come.

She heard him. He wants the whole East Palace to obey her, and there are only two serious masters in the East Palace - the crown prince and the crown princess.

He wanted to give more than she thought throughout.

Rao has already told him and Pan, and his attitude is like this, for some reason, it will make her panic.

She patted her chest lightly, reassuring herself - maybe she was just overthinking herself.

Where is to allow her such a generous benefit.

Ning Xun suddenly spoke: "You didn't think much about it. It's not about your benefits, it's supposed to be yours, I just think it's too little, too late. ”

"But at the moment, many things are still constrained, and you may have to be wronged for a while, and in the long run, it may take two or three years."

"I'll do it as soon as possible."

Rank Chi was taken aback by him, "How does Your Highness know what I'm thinking?" ”

"You can guess it." He raised his eyes to look at her, with a small smile in his eyes: "You can ask for more and be more greedy for me." ”

"If I can't do it for a while, it's because I'm not good enough, and it's not because you think too much."

Jackie pursed his lips. These days, she has faintly noticed a little.

Ning Xun is a person who cares about something and never hides it - he cares blatantly.

Later, she asked him why, and he said it right—only if he put the people he valued in the open, the rest would follow suit.

She didn't quite understand, and asked him: "According to what His Highness said, now everyone knows that I am His Highness's weakness, and I attach importance to it, but isn't it more dangerous?" ”

"Even if I take 10,000 steps back, if I neglect to protect you for a while, they will only want to use you to blackmail me, and they won't really do anything to you."

She nodded incomprehensibly, and didn't delve into it - she wasn't going to be his weakness.

Perhaps because Huaihe said that the prince was going to die, the imperial doctor came quickly, and the five people who accompanied the spring hunt came, including the imperial doctor Li who originally specialized in conditioning the dragon body for the saint.

Imperial Doctor Li has superb medical skills, but his temper is poor, and he is not allowed to stay inside.

He refused to leave, so he waited outside, so he went to dry his hair and changed into clean clothes.

The imperial physician stayed in it for a full hour, during which time the light blood and water were exchanged for three basins.

When she was able to go in, Ning Xun had already fallen asleep.

And she kept watch by his couch all night.

When the sky was about to dawn, Ning Xun woke up. He didn't sleep all night, and when he woke up, he immediately ordered someone to send the boiled decoction.

"Imperial Doctor Li said that this medicine will only have an effect if His Royal Highness opens his eyes and eats it." She fed it spoonful, but fortunately he had always cooperated, and after drinking the bowl, he saw that his face looked better.

She was furious at the moment, Ning Xun sighed, knowing that she would not be willing to ask her to go back, so she simply patted the bed: "Come and sleep for a while." ”

Ning Xun was really fine, he was relieved, he was very sleepy, and he went up according to his words and lay down beside him.

She turned to look at him sideways, and seeing that he was still in good spirits, she couldn't help but ask: "The guards called by His Highness Ming Di don't seem to be those from the East Palace?" ”

Ning Xun clasped her hand, clasped her fingers together, and then answered.

He closed his eyes, but his voice was sober, and he told her about the origin of the shadow guard.

In the first two years after the death of the empress, because he was still young, he couldn't hold his breath, although he was disgusted by the emperor, he was still at the top of the court everywhere, and was even called a virtuous man, but the more errands he did, the better he did, and inevitably moved more nobles.

On the one hand, he was feared, and he was constantly shot and arrowed, and on the other hand, his reputation in the court was too high, and he also attracted the suspicion of the saint. Soon he was framed and eventually forced into the frontier to conquer himself.

At that time, he couldn't trust anyone around him anymore, so he simply formed a shadow guard from scratch.

Rank clenched his hand.

No wonder, she has heard people mention more than once that after returning from the frontier, the prince seems to be a different person, and he originally had some means, but his performance in the court after returning is just mediocre.

"The one you see today is the Shadow Guard Commander, named Qingheng."

"I let you see him, because from now on he will be responsible for your safety."

Rank Chi's eyes widened, "Since you are the commander of Your Highness, isn't it overkill." ”

"Your safety is a big deal. What's more, he can't just do one thing. ”

He was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said to him solemnly: "Your Highness, I have something to discuss. ”

"I confessed all this to His Highness tonight, but Shen Che must not know it yet. I had surrendered to His Highness at his command, and if I could stabilize him and make use of this matter, I would be able to hear the news of the Second Prince as easily as before. ”

She always remembered the fire in the East Palace in her previous life.

In the past, he was always indecisive, and most of this was the reason.

But she suddenly thought about it - Ning Xun's strategy was no worse than Shen Che's, and there were many people available, if she went to listen to the news from the second prince's side, Ning Xun could take the lead, and she might not be able to win.

Ning Xun opened his eyes and looked at her calmly, but said, "No." ”

She didn't give up: "Why not? ”

If I agree, what difference will I have with him? Using you as a pathfinder pawn and using you? ”

Rank pool subconsciously retorted: "Of course there is a difference......

Her words were interrupted by him: "The difference is that I can promise you more benefits, or is this time you yourself willing, not coerced by me?" ”

Zhichi pursed his lips and was speechless for a while.

She also knew that if the two of them were mixed with these things, it would be difficult to go back.

But...... It was one of the few things she could do for him and for herself.

Ning Xun sighed and hugged her: "I know your intentions, that's enough, you don't have to do anything to prove it." ”

"Let's take your mother out of the Chi family, at least keep her away from these disputes, so that you don't have to worry about the future, okay?"

Jackie raised his eyes suddenly, "Really? ”

Shen Che is not stupid, if he can really take his mother out, he will definitely know that Ning Xun did it, and naturally he will know her choice.

Not only did she cut off the way to hear the news of the second prince from her, but if she was not careful, the things that Ning Xun had hidden over the years would also be exposed to others.

"Your mother stayed there, and she was never at ease. Long pain is better than short pain, and you can feel at ease if you take out your thoughts. But this matter must be urgent, and it is necessary to take advantage of their unpreparedness. ”

The author has something to say:

Qingheng: All these years of security and time, after all, it was a mistake!

Cicada clothes: (handing a handful of melon seeds)

Qingheng: ?
