Chapter 293 Return to the Palace
How did he know that Ruan Lingheng was injured and could not use martial arts at all. He didn't jump down with himself, but was beaten down by Princess Hui. But it's also fortunate that he can float. Otherwise, I will really die.
It's just these words, so it's better not to tell him.
After walking for another while, Mo Ziyao saw the winding road, and the carriage stopped on the roadside. Seeing Qingyuan standing by the carriage, he knew that they had come here first.
Chu Qingtian helped her get into the carriage before ordering her to leave.
Mo Ziyao went in and saw Ruan Lingheng lying on his side against the cushion in the car. His eyes were closed and his face was peaceful. Looking at the man in front of him quietly, he couldn't help laughing for some reason. The handsome face is in front of us, but there is no cold and arrogance of the past. This look is calm, weak, but faintly giving people a good feeling.
That's a hidden and unknown beauty...
The voice of Qingyuan came from outside: "Carman, slow down."
Mo Ziyao knew that she must have taken care of Ruan Lingheng's injury. I don't know if he really fell asleep or just closed his eyes, but I knew that it was true that he was tired. He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes slightly.
The carriage has been running for a long time, but it hasn't stopped yet. Mo Ziyao was surprised. Did they drift so far along the river? It took a long time to hear the excitement around. Then he was shocked and lifted the curtains to look out. Unexpectedly, I found that the carriage had entered the downtown area.
He shouted softly, "Guard Chu."
"Your Noble Concubine." Chu Qingtian followed up and said, "The last general forgot to tell the noble concubine. The emperor has returned to the palace. The last general has found the queen, and he can also go back to the palace directly."
And Mo Ziyao only felt a slight shock. Did he go back to the palace? Oh, see that he and Ruan Lingheng fell down the mountain, but he has returned to the palace? By the way, "What about... the distinguished guests from various countries?" When he returns to the palace, he will never leave them in the Western Hunting Ground again, will he?
Chu Qingtian said, "They have left Huangtian City this morning."
Sure enough... Mo Ziyao looked up. At this moment, it was almost dusk, and the day was about to pass again.
Hearing her not speak, Chu Qingtian said again, "Your concubine, on the trip to the west hunting ground, an assassin appeared. The emperor is the body of all saints and can't stay for a long time. Therefore, we have to give up this horse riding and hunting competition. The distinguished guests from all over the world are worried about their own safety and have left because of state affairs.
He explained for Ruan Lingzheng, and Mo Ziyao only put down the curtain with a sneer. He is the emperor of a dynasty. He is a member of the people and can't make any mistakes. Naturally, she understands this truth. It is irrational for him to stay.
Why do you still feel sad when you think about it? Looking back, he looked at the people in the car and asked, "Where did the emperor put the prince?"
A voice came from outside: "The post hall in the city."
Mo Ziyao was surprised. She thought that Ruan Lingzheng would arrange him in the palace, but she didn't expect it to be a post house. Although he is a brother, he is not so close after all.
Without thinking much, he said to him, "Then go to the post hall first."
"The Noble Concubine..."
Mo Ziyao said in a low voice, "Don't you see that the prince is seriously injured? I said, go to the post hall first!"
While talking, she clenched her fists, not to be angry with him. She was just angry with Ruan Lingzheng. How did he feel when he fell down the hillside and was washed away by the rapids? He can't find anyone. Is he in a hurry? Or, he still just hugged his Xuefei at ease. Is he only glad that his Xuefei is fine?
So, so, what about going back to the palace later? I just had to go to the post house first. Ruan Lingheng saved himself and took care of his body first, which was also a natural thing, wasn't it?
Mo Ziyao gritted her teeth and thought: Do you dare to say anything? I still have the support of the Empress Dowager. I'm not afraid of you. Maybe it's not rational to do this, but I'm not a woman who can always be rational.
Thinking about it, he suddenly heard Ruan Lingheng say, "Well, it's really unkind to push me out."
His voice was faint. When Mo Ziyao looked at him, she saw that he had already sat up. Sure enough, he didn't fall asleep.
Mo Ziyao snorted slightly, "Will the prince be afraid? If you are afraid, you won't ask anyone to send the cloak I left in your room in front of the emperor that night. She still remembers that incident clearly, as well as the words deliberately said by the maidservant.
Ruan Lingheng seemed to be stunned and said in a low voice, "When will I..." But when he opened his mouth, he suddenly fell silent and his eyes drifted to the green gull outside the car. As smart as him, he must have guessed something.
Mo Ziyao unconsciously looked through the curtains. Qingyuan only followed closely and didn't know that they were talking about her. It seems that Ruan Lingheng really doesn't know about this matter. That's Qingyuan's idea.
With a sigh, it was really Qingyuan's idea, and I didn't blame her. It was all for Ruan Lingheng's face.
When the carriage arrived at the post hall, Mo Ziyao took a look at Ruan Lingheng and didn't say anything. She just got up and went out. Qingyuan helped him get out of the car before she wanted to go in. Then she heard Chu Qingtian say, "Your concubine, it's time to go back to the palace."
Mo Ziyao did not stop, but said, "I'm not in a hurry." Ruan Lingzheng is not in a hurry. What's he worried about? After a few steps, he said, "Doctor Xuan came to show it to the prince."
As soon as Mo Ziyao's words fell, she heard Qingyuan say, "Thank you for your concern. There is no need for the imperial doctor. The prince has an accompanying doctor."
Mo Ziyao was shocked, the accompanying doctor? Isn't it true that Ruan Lingheng's injury and the imperial doctors in the palace can't be cured? Or, he doesn't want to let people know that he has injuries? However, at this moment, there was no time to think about it. Qingyuan had helped him into the room.
When Chu Qingtian saw Mo Ziyao go in, he had no choice but to follow in.
After a while, an old man came in and saluted them before coming forward. Qingyuan hurriedly said, "Chen Qi, show it to the prince."
The man named Chen Qi hurried forward and took Ruan Lingheng's pulse. He frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. His eyes fell on his right arm and reached out and pinched it. Hearing Ruan Lingheng's hum, he said, "Please go out. I'll take a good look for the prince."
Mo Ziyao only felt that her heart sank suddenly. Why did she send them out?
Qingyuan hurriedly said to Mo Ziyao, "Your concubine, please go back first. When Dr. Chen went to the doctor, he was not used to being present." She said and made a gesture of invitation.
Mo Ziyao instinctively glanced at Ruan Lingheng and listened to him smile and said, "Your concubine is easy to go."
Since he said so, it was really inconvenient for him to stay, so he said, "If you need anything, just open your mouth. The emperor is also very concerned about the prince's condition." After saying that, he looked at him again before turning around and going out. Chu Qingtian followed up in a hurry.
"Your concubine..." He just opened his mouth, and Mo Ziyao turned her head and saw a man walking quickly from the corridor over there. Looking at it, it turned out to be late autumn.
Now, she has taken off her maidservant's clothes and put on a beautiful gauze skirt. She is no longer the little girl at the beginning.
When Wanqiu saw Mo Ziyao, her eyes suddenly turned red. She rushed up and took her hand and said, "Mother, are you all right? Ah, your face..." She looked at the inflamed, red and swollen wounds, and tears fell down. "The wounds are inflamed. Must it hurt?" There was unspeakable heartache in her tone.
Mo Ziyao shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine. It's just a little skin injury. I went back and applied the medicine and got better."
Wanqiu couldn't help crying: "It's all like this, and he said it's okay. I heard that you fell into the rapid river. Yuzhi came to me and cried all night, and I was scared to death. Fortunately, our mother is very lucky. She saw Chu Qingtian behind Mo Ziyao and suddenly knelt down to him and said, "Thank you Lord Chu for your mother. Thank you for bring your mother back safely."
Chu Qingtian was shocked and hurried forward and said, "Madam, please get up. The last general can't stand it."
Mo Ziyao bent down to help Wanqiu, reached out to wipe the tears off her face, and whispered, "I came back safely. Why are you crying?" He pulled her forward and asked, "Do you have any news from King Pingren?"
It doesn't mean that Wanqiu also knew what it was referring to. He shook his head and said, "I have no clue."
In fact, Mo Ziyao also knows that assassins who can lurk near the West Hunting Institute will certainly not be ordinary people. The emperor traveled in person and must arrange heavy troops along the way to ensure safety. And those people can quietly lurk on the road they must pass, and the location is in front of the West Hunting Ground. It seems that they are particularly familiar with the terrain of the West Hunting Ground.
I once thought about whether it was the work of emperors of other countries, but it was soon denied, because it was a temporary decision to come to the West Hunting Ground, time was in a hurry, and they did not know the terrain here.
And they were also present at that time. They didn't have eyes when the arrows flew around. I don't think they were so bold. What's more, even if the assassination of Ruan Lingzheng in this situation is successful, it is not easy for them to retreat completely.
From this point of view, if it was inside the Ruan Nan Dynasty, how could King Ping Ren have no clue at all?
Unless... when the idea flashed in her mind, she was shocked.
Wanqiu saw that Mo Ziyao's face changed, and immediately realized what she was thinking and hurriedly said, "Prince Pingren was injured to save the empress dowager."
Mo Ziyao was shocked and asked quickly, "How's the injury?"
Wanqiu shook his head and said, "The injury is on the arm, not serious."
So, Ruan Lingzheng asked Ping Renwang to investigate, right?
If it was King Pingren, he protected the empress dowager at that time, and those assassins had no need to hurt him at all. That's really a move.
"Don't think about it." Wanqiu said, "Go back to the palace first. The emperor must be in a hurry."
Mo Ziyao hesitated and finally nodded.
When she returned to the palace, Chu Qingtian sent her to the Yuyao Palace and wanted to return. He is the imperial guard. He should always stay by Ruan Lingzheng's side and be responsible for his safety. Send him back safely, and his task will be over.
