Chapter 13: A wave of uneven
Seeing that his appearance was about to be seen, the man quickly took out a projectile-like thing from his arms and threw it from his hand. He only blinked and was surrounded by black fog. Su Mu closed his eyes and held his breath. When the smoke dissipated, there was no shadow of the other party in front of him.
"Are you all right?" Su Mu looked at Zhu Xin and the injured Mrs. Chun, who was stunned, said.
"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me." Mrs. Chun was just slightly injured and was fine. She could see that those people were not really targeting them, otherwise she would not show mercy.
Looking at the two people lying opposite, Su Mu came forward to check one by one.
"Are they with you?" Su Mu turned her head and asked, the maid-like man was hopeless, and the woman dressed as his wife just fainted in fear.
"How are they? What's the matter?" Mrs. Chun pushed Zhuxin, and Zhuxin came to her senses and pulled up Mrs. Chun sitting on the ground.
"One is hopeless, and the other is injured and fainted. I'll take you down the mountain to find a doctor." Su Mu picked up the unconscious Mrs. Lan. Although the man and woman were not close to each other, she couldn't control much now.
Su Mu held Mrs. Lan and walked in the front. Mrs. Chun and Zhuxin carefully followed and looked around from time to time, for fear that those people would rush out somewhere when they were not paying attention. Any wind and grass can make people who have just been frightened tighten their nerves at this time.
"Just go to the teahouse, and the family will wait there." Mrs. Chun said that if she swaggers on the street, she will always lose her identity, no matter what the situation is.
"All right." Go straight to the teahouse.
"If you dare to ask the hero's name and go back to the royal palace with me, the prince will definitely reward you well." Mrs. Chun said.
Hearing this, Su Mu paused and slowly turned his head.
"Do you mean King Chen's Mansion?"
"To be honest, we are the prince's concubine. Today, I went up the mountain to ask for God, but I didn't expect to meet these people in black on the way back. Fortunately, there was a chivalrous man to save him, otherwise..." He looked at the injured Mrs. Lan with sad eyes.
Today, he wandered outside alone and walked here unconsciously. Seeing a temple here, I want to come for a break and calm myself down. Every time he saw Lan Ruoyan, he felt that there was a strong aura conflict between them. He didn't know what was going on and why he always felt that she was inseparable from him. He couldn't figure it out, so he hid here. Hearing the sound of fighting, he went to check curiously. When he saw four masked men in black dealing with four unarmed women, he was determined to save them. Unexpectedly, he saved the family members of King Chen's Palace. He had to sigh that he and Chen Wangfu were really entangled.
"Don't worry about every little thing. I think other people will save them. There is no need to reward." Su Mu said modestly that he was the family of King Chen's Mansion, and it was better for him to avoid some things.
"Well, how can this be so embarrassing..." She must repay her kindness, and it is a life-saving grace. By intuition, she felt that the man in front of her was not an ordinary person.
"Mrs. Chun, what happened?" When the sedan chair saw them coming, he asked worriedly.
"You guys put Mrs. Lan on the sedan chair, and I'll come over." Mrs. Chun ordered.
"Since my wife is safe, I will leave first." Su Mu saw that there was only so much he could do. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he retreated.
"Thank you." Sorry to stay again, she nodded gently and walked to the soft sedan chair.
Qin Wangfu
"How are the two ladies?" As soon as I came back, I heard from the housekeeper that when the two wives went to Hongfu Temple to burn incense, they met a man in black who was injured. A maid died on the spot, and the waves rose again and again. The recent royal palace was a little too lively.
"The imperial doctor has seen it. There is nothing serious about Mrs. Chun. This is Mrs. Lan's serious injury, and the imperial doctor said it was not very serious. I was just frightened and is currently falling asleep. He was really shocked when he saw his husbands coming back. He didn't expect such a big thing would happen when he went out this time.
"Let's go to Chunqin Pavilion to see Mrs. Chun first." Xuanyuanchen said that this matter was a little strange. He had political enemies, but he would not deal with his useless concubine, unless the man had any conspiracy. He doesn't like the feeling of being led away in the dark.
"Yes, my lord."
Chunqin Pavilion
"See the prince." Mrs. Chun heard the announcement and came out to greet her.
"Get up and sit down first." Xuanyuanchen went to the table and sat down and said.
Mrs. Chun, Lian Bushan, walked to Xuanyuan and sat down, "Do you want to drink a cup of hot tea?"
Xuanyuan Chen nodded and said, "I heard that you went out with Mrs. Lan today to meet an assassin? What the hell is going on? I always ask directly what I want to know.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, and then opened their eyes. Tears filled their eyes, and their cherry lips opened slightly. They said, "I don't know what's going on. Those people in black suddenly rushed over and are ready to commit the murder. At that time, we were all scared and didn't know how to react. Mrs. Lan said that we were from King Chen's Mansion and thought that the assassins would have scruples because of this, but they seemed to come here with a purpose.
"Is that right? Do you know who they are and have they revealed anything? He came here with a purpose. Is it aimed at the people in his house? Who is it?
"I don't know, they are all masked. Fortunately, a chivalrous man came out to save him, otherwise..." With that, he rushed to Xuanyuan Chen's arms and cried. It was really terrible at that time. I thought I would never see the prince again..."
Xuanyuanchen did not push away the sad crying person in his arms. He gently patted her on the back and asked softly, "Have you offended someone or?"
"We stay at the door of the house, and we really can't imagine that we will offend anyone outside and be killed. "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us!" Mrs. Chun said in Xuanyuan's arms, with a sad look.
"I will never let go of those who dare to hurt Chen Wangfu easily." Although there is no clue at present, he will find out.
"Your Majesty, I seemed to hear someone ask the princess at that time?" She still said her doubts. She wanted to hide this in her heart, so that Lan Ruoyan would be happy to see any unpredictable danger, but she was unwilling to let go of this potential danger.
"What did he say?" Xuanyuan Chen grabbed Mrs. Chun and said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, it hurts me a little." He frowned dissatisfiedly. Why was the prince so nervous when he heard that it was about Lan Ruoyan? Did the prince like her? I have never seen the prince so excited about any woman.
"Quickly, what did that man say?" Why did this matter get to Lan Ruoyan? Is it...
"They asked our Princess Chen if she was on this trip. As soon as they heard that the princess's momentum had changed, she seemed to know that we were coming out today." She slowly recalled the situation at that time and said slowly.
"Did they kill the princess as soon as they heard it?" If this is the case, he can probably guess something.
"At that time, I was really scared and didn't dare to see it. I only knew how to escape." Now she felt a little scared when she thought about it. She threw herself back into Xuanyuanchen's arms and wanted to grab Xuanyuanchen's attention.
"I know. You're scared. Have a good rest." He raised his head and said to Zhuxin, "Zhuxin, prepare a bowl of shocking soup for your wife. I will thoroughly investigate this matter to the end." After saying that, he pushed away Mrs. Chun and went out.
Mrs Chun stood up straight, wiped the tears from her eyes with a veil, and looked at the back of Xuan Yuanchen's departure with resentment. Why every time, she can only stand behind him and look at his back, instead of walking side by side with him.
in the study
"Go and check the assassination at Hongfu Temple at noon for a few days to see who did it. Remember to hurry up!" In the empty study, only Xuanyuan Chen said to himself.
"Yes, my subordinates will check it immediately." A shadow flashed in the dark.
"Wait, send someone to pay attention to the safety of the princess." These people must have plot against Lan Ruoyan. They want to provoke the relationship between him and Lan Qifeng and let them lose their greatest strength. He will not let them succeed!
"My subordinates will send someone to secretly protect the princess. Please rest assured." After saying that, only the branches shook outside the window and the image was mottled.
Imperial Palace
"I heard that you became a hero today. How do you feel?" Xuanyuan Chen looked at Su Mu with a smile and said with a smile.
"The emperor laughed. I just met a villain who bullied women and children. For a moment, I couldn't see it and helped. I didn't know that this was the emperor's arrangement. Please forgive me. Su Mu said neither humble nor arrogantly that loyal things are endangered by others, but they must have backbone.
"I thought you helped Chen Wangfu and helped Xuanyuan Chen deal with me behind my back." He turned his back to Su Mu, and a person's biggest attack flaw was completely exposed. He either completely believed it or was completely sure that he would not be hurt.
Su Mu was shocked and said calmly, "I am loyal to the emperor. How can I do such a thing? I am loyal to the emperor and ask the emperor to learn from me."
"I don't want to pursue this matter. After all, those two women are not my target, but someone put the wrong message... Oh, but I don't care." Xuanyuan Che said indifferently, "I believe you won't betray me, but don't let me see you again next time to help Xuanyuanchen, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"I know, I have nothing to leave." Salute and get ready to leave.
"Aiqing, as long as you have always been on my side, I won't treat you badly. I can satisfy you whatever you want." He knew that Su Mu was a rare talent, and it was absolutely beneficial to win him over.
"Thank you for your kindness." What he wants has already opened his mouth, but it is still empty.
