Chapter 057: Doubts are gone
The people in the dining room didn't stop it. Because just now Qingchen squeezed the words of the Three Imperial Princesses Nie Xinrou. Let the hearts of the people be horrified. I'm afraid that something terrible will come out of Qingchen's mouth. aroused the Empress's suspicions.
Tomorrow listened to Qingchen's words. Standing by the Empress's side. Keep your eyes on the people around you. The face is expressionless. It's scary to look at. Especially Nie Xinrou. She didn't expect that Nie Xinyao had a scheming girl by her side. But Miss Mu didn't know what it was. There are so many powerful subordinates. Let her plans fall through again and again.
Nie Xinrou thought so. A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. After all, her time is running out. But until now. No substantial achievements have been made. The national teacher's demand for her is becoming more and more frequent. She couldn't bear it more and more.
But she didn't expect it. All his expressions were seen by the empress. It started when Qingchen said those words. The empress's gaze never left Nie Xinrou's face. Because the Empress wants to know. In the end, this matter was Nie Xinyao's improper defense or deliberate arrangement. There are still people who want to take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents.
There was a moment of silence in the dining room. Everyone couldn't help but look at the situation outside. Although it was blocked by many forbidden troops. The situation on the outside is also a little unrealistic. But the crowd still craned their necks. Looks worried.
In the eyes of the Empress. The Assassins outside were nothing to fear. After all, the forbidden army had three thousand people. And they are all good hands brought out of the palace. If the 3,000 Praetorian Army is unable to take down a few Assassins. Then there would be no need for these forbidden armies to exist.
And look outside. The struggle between the Praetorian and the Assassins was in full swing. The Assassins were merciless. After the poisonous dark arrow was shot. One by one, they emerged from the shadows. Engage in a large-scale battle with the Forbidden Army. There was a ruthlessness all over his body. It seems that there is a posture of vowing not to give up until the forbidden army is slaughtered.
Dust and night because it is from the inside to the outside. Those forbidden soldiers saw those who came out of it. and they all gave way to a way. After Qingchen and the two walked over. and quickly gathered together. Once again, a strong fortress was formed. Keep the Assassins out.
"Nightfall. Is it all arranged? "Dusty and walking. While asking about the night dead beside him.
"Now the people of Yan Guilou are afraid that they have already done it. The girl wants to go and see for herself. Nightshade nodded. Answered.
"No need. You go. Let them speed up their movements. Don't worry about anything. Just leave a few alive for the Empress to interrogate. Qingchen said. "I'm going to help His Highness the Sixth. She was injured. ”
"But this hurts ......," Nightshade frowned. There seems to be some confusion.
"It doesn't matter what the injury is. After all, it hurts. Qingchen sneered. "That's the only way. The six princesses will win the trust of the empress even more. Isn't it. ”
Nightshade nodded as if he didn't understand. Then turn around and leave. Head in the direction that was arranged before the dusting.
Qingchen was not idle. Came directly to Nie Xinyao's side. Wielding his sword to block the Assassins' onslaught. Stand with the momentum of protection. A sword in one hand. Holding Nie Xinyao with one hand.
"Miss Mu. How did you get out. Nie Xinyao saw Qingchen. Asked in some surprise.
"You're hurt. Qingchen said. "No matter how well planned I am. After all, Nie Xinrou was still mixed in with these assassins. It was one of her men who just stabbed you. for I have commanded my men severely. Even if you hurt you, you must not hurt the vital point. ”
"That's right. That guy just now made a sharp move. It seemed like every sword was stabbing me in the heart. It seems that I have to die......" Nie Xinyao seemed to remember something. Then he said. "I thought at first. This was specially arranged by Miss Mu. Just to be more realistic. To make the Mother Queen's trust in me even more......"
"Your Highness understands now. The Praetorian Army stood like this in a closed circle. The Empress sat in the dining room and couldn't see it at all. That's how I'm going to arrange it. Isn't that a waste of effort? Qingchen explained.
Nie Xinyao nodded. And then I understood. Even if it's a play. Then you have to do it in front of the empress. Now the empress is heavily blocked by 3,000 forbidden troops. I can't see what's going on outside. Maybe I don't even know that the six princesses are injured now. How could he have noticed that an assassin had killed the Six Princesses?
The two of them talked. Qingchen's hands kept moving. Shot is also quicker. The sword flies. In the rotation, the sword flowers were pulled out. In a flying flight, he killed those who wanted to get close to the Six Princesses and himself.
Although Nie Xinyao was injured. But it's not very serious. Because of their own strong willpower. It can last for a while. Plus the Praetorian Army helped from the side. The situation was quickly brought under control. The number of stabbing guests is getting smaller and smaller. The movements of the hands are getting slower and slower. Soon it was overwhelmed.
"You can't kill the emperor. If you continue to fight, you will be sent to death in vain. Let's withdraw. ”
It was unknown among the Assassins who shouted like this. Then fly up. Stepping on the shoulders of the Praetorian Army. Do a light job. Jump away.
See the leader depart. The remaining Assassins did not stay longer. They all glanced at each other. He looked at Qingchen again. I saw Qingchen nodding slightly in the confusion. Motioning for them to leave. And they did not hesitate any longer. Walk away.
"Your Highness. Ordered the forbidden army to split up and chase after him. But southeast. A few more people need to be sent. Qingchen saw the men in black leave. He lowered his head and whispered in Nie Xinyao's ear.
Nie Xinyao nodded. Then he endured the pain in his body. Turning to the forbidden soldiers, he said:
"Cloud Lord. Pursue. ”
Commander Yun saw Nie Xinyao's expression. He nodded clearly. Then he turned around and divided the forbidden army behind him into four teams. Chase it in four directions: southeast, northwest, and northwest. However, the two forbidden armies of the East and the South pursued some distance. The two teams were merged into one. Follow the route arranged before the dusting. Chased after it.
"I didn't expect that. The commander of the forbidden army beside the empress is also a member of His Royal Highness. I really underestimated it. So it seems. This plan today. Even without the help of the Great Princess. It's foolproof. Qingchen nodded approvingly. So said.
Nie Xinyao glanced at Qingchen with a smile. Didn't speak. He turned around and walked towards the dining room. And this time. The Praetorian Army went after the Assassins. The door to the dining room was empty. The Empress could already see the scene outside.
Qingchen followed behind Nie Xinyao. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Nie Xinyao is really not as simple as it seems on the surface. Before you know it, you have already included the commander of the forbidden army under your banner. Why worry about big things.
But. This is also the reason why Qingchen will choose Nie Xinyao. If it weren't for Nie Xinyao's ability. Just blindly let her support. Then things won't go so smoothly for her in southern Xinjiang.
Soon. Nie Xinyao had already arrived in the dining room. Walked up to the Empress. Get down on one knee. Speak:
"The Mother. The Assassins outside had been repelled by the retainers. Commander Yun had also led the forbidden army to chase him out. The number of Assassins and the number of Forbidden Army casualties. After the detailed statistics of the sons. Then I will pay homage to the Mother Emperor. ”
The empress looked at Nie Xinyao. Nodding approvingly. So much has happened in southern Xinjiang recently. This daughter's performance is also remarkable. More and more mature and steady. It seems that the country is entrusted to her. There shouldn't be any problems.
That's what I thought. Huai Jin exclaimed at Qingchen's signal: "At six o'clock." Your wound is bleeding. Let's let the folk girl bandage it for you. ”
Huai Jin is a medicine girl trusted by the great princess. Plus just bandaged the Empress's wounds. The medical skills displayed are very convincing. She spoke. Everyone's eyes fell on Nie Xinyao.
saw that Nie Xinyao's entire left arm was stained red with blood. Take a closer look. saw that the wound on Nie Xinyao's body was on the left shoulder. It's only three points away from the heart. If the long sword is accurate, then three points. Nie Xinyao will die.
But Nie Xinyao held on to the wound for so long and didn't say anything. Even the face does not change color. He also casually informed the Empress of the Assassin's situation. This perseverance impressed the courtiers present.
"Yao'er. You're hurt. Let Miss Huaijin bandage you. If this wound is a few points more ......," the Empress said. He exclaimed. Hurriedly instructed Huai Jin to bandage Nie Xinyao's wounds.
Huai Jin got his will. He took out the wound medicine he had brought with him. Bandage Nie Xinyao.
There was silence in the dining room. No one spoke. All of them were women. Huai Jin and Nie Xinyao didn't shy away from anything. Directly took off the clothes on Nie Xinyao's left shoulder. The bloody wound was exposed.
Cleaning, medicating, and bandaging all in one go. Skillful movements. At first glance, it is experienced. And Nie Xinyao's face remained unchanged. No matter how Huai Jin tosses. There was no word.
The Empress saw such a scene. The praise for Nie Xinyao in his heart was a little more. The look of satisfaction on his face could not be concealed. But such a scene fell in Nie Xinrou's eyes. But it has changed its taste.
Nie Xinrou was resentful in her heart. She didn't know why things were the way they were. She had clearly arranged a killer near the main hall. Just in case. She also ambushed people near the dining room. The purpose was to get in the time when the Empress fled to the dining room. The people here are able to respond.
But. The Empress obviously did not go to the main hall. It stands to reason that these Assassins should not have appeared. But why. Why did a wave of people show up early. These people were not arranged by her. Although there are also people who mix in with her. But the Assassins appeared. but it disrupted her plan.
"Alright. The wound of the Sixth Highness is in the left shoulder. The centrifugal port is very close. Plus now spring has not passed. Wounds are susceptible to infection. If you don't cultivate well. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do in the future. Huai Jin finished bandaging Nie Xinyao. Then he spoke.
"I remember. At that time, I was also hurt near my heart. But there were no good conditions on the march. And I was in a hurry to drive the enemy away. I didn't care. Dragged on and on. The body became what it is now. Nie Xinyu listened to Huai Jin's words. Said with emotion.
"Not bad. Exactly. Huai Jin nodded. "The Assassins showed no mercy. If it weren't for the luck of the Sixth Highness. I'm afraid it's ...... now."
Huai Jin's words came out. The last trace of doubt in the empress's heart was completely dispelled.
