Chapter 31 Attack

Xue Zhen recited scriptures and prayed for the emperor in the "Wofo Temple" for seven consecutive days. He was very religious. On the eighth day, he finished his homework as usual in the morning and was left with a vegetarian meal by the abbot at noon. It was not until the afternoon that he left for the mountain to return home.

At this time, it is early autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the mountains are not as hot as in Qiongjiang City. Xue Zhen thought for a moment that this was the place where he had a long talk with Shen Xuanji for the first time, and his heart was warm. He was interested and waved to Shuangchi, "I want to walk down the mountain. You send someone to drive the car to the foot of the mountain first."

"Yes." The two pools should have trotted all the way to arrange it.

Xue Zhen and the abbot drank tea. When Shuangchi came back, they got up and bowed their hands to the abbot. "I've been disturbing these days. People will be sent to the palace in two days, and I'll leave."

The abbot put his hands together. "The mountains are quiet, and it is inevitable that there are some snakes, insects, rats and ants. I hope the prince will take care of yourself."

Xue Zhen was just a polite word, smiled, turned around with Shuangchi and several entourage leading horses, and went out of the temple gate.

They went down the mountain and enjoyed themselves all the way, and their feet were much slower than usual. Almost halfway, the two pools had sharp eyes and saw a carriage parked on the road from afar.

"Your Majesty, don't you think that's our car?"

Xue Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that the car was covered with green and was parked in the middle of the road. It was indeed the one he usually took.

"Go and see what's going on." His voice was unconsciously cold.

The two attendants stepped forward quickly, were shocked at first sight, and stumbled back.

"King, my lord, there is such a big hole in our car!" A follower compared his hand to a circle of about three feet.

"The horse and the horse disappeared, and the driver and the driver died on the spot!" The other also answered.

Xue Zhen's face was as gloomy as the stormy sky, with a faint ominous. He didn't say anything and stepped forward quickly. Shuangchi and his attendants did not dare to speak and followed him.

The two did not talk about the river. Xue Zhen coldly looked at the car and the body of the driver that had been smashed in half of the carriage and frowned. However, when he saw the huge dols lying quietly not far away, his face became even worse. "Go to the city to find Commander Huo and say that someone intends to murder me."

"Yes!" The two attendants turned over their horses and galloped all the way down the mountain.

Shuangchi carefully looked into Xue Zhen's face, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too eye-catching for us to stand here." After all, several people are alone at this time. If the bad people come back, it is not easy to resist.

Xue Zhen nodded, "Find two people and watch them in the dark. If anyone approaches, take him down!" After saying that, he stood in the shadow of the tree by the roadside and waited for Huo Qiyu.

The two follower who reported the news did not dare to slow down all the way. When they arrived in Qiongjiang City, one of them asked the other, "Are you going to tell Commander Huo that I will report back to the princess?"

"The prince didn't give back to the princess!"

"How can such a big thing be hidden from the princess?" The person who asked seemed surprised.

"Let's obey the prince's order, otherwise it will shock the princess, and he will let you not be able to eat!" The one who answered the words is more old. After thinking about the question, he felt that his words were reasonable, so he nodded.

But God did not fulfill his wishes. Although Xue Zhen deliberately concealed Shen Xuanji, Shen Xuanji still knew about his attack.

"What are you talking about? The prince was attacked? Where is it? When?" Shen Xuanji was shocked and turned over a bowl of tea. Chunqi exclaimed and was about to come up to wipe, but she pushed her away.

"Mama Hua, let people prepare horses!" She stood up and walked out while listening to the servant's reply, "When I was buying a line for my sister on the street, I saw Commander Huo galloping by with a team of 'Jinwuwei'. I felt strange and heard someone talking that he met an ambush when our prince went down the mountain. I was shocked. Jump, then hurried back to report, hoping that the princess will forgive me for the crime of trespassing into the inner courtyard!" The little man knelt on the ground, and Shen Xuanji couldn't bear to pull him up. "You're not guilty. Go and find a few more family members and follow me up the mountain."

Shen Xuanji has already left the yard. Seeing that Mother Hua was still standing on the ground stupidly, she said anxiously, "Mama, what are you still standing for? Ask someone to prepare a horse!"

"King, princess, this, this Qiongjiang lady, didn't go out to ride a horse!" Before Mother Hua finished her words, she hit herself in the mouth, "It's the old slave who is confused. The old slave is going!"

By the time Shen Xuanji walked out of the courtyard, the groom had respectfully led a black horse with only four hooves and snow-white waiting. Shen Xuanji didn't have time to praise the horse. He turned on his horse and left the Nine Kings' Mansion with several strong families and galloped all the way to Wolong Mountain.

Huo Qiyue arrived much earlier than her and has met Xue Zhen. When his "Jin Wuwei" arrived, Xue Zhen was relieved.

"I can't see anything here. I'm afraid I have to go up to see the traces." Huo Qiyu turned around the scene several times and pointed the horse whip to the side of the mountain.

"Since it's deliberate, how can it leave traces?" Xue Zhen sneered, "However, I also want to know whose handwriting it is. It's too bullying!"

"As long as you have the intention to harm others, you will definitely leave traces." Huo Qiyue looked at Xue Zhen and said, "How's it going? Follow me up the mountain to have a look, and I also have a number in mind.

Xue Zhen nodded silently and sent several people to guard the scene. He took Shuangchi and followed Huo Qiyue up the mountain to find evidence.

Shen Xuanji rode on the horse, and her heart was cold, and the clothes at her vest were soaked in cold sweat. She didn't dare to think about what to do if Xue Zhen had something to do.

"He will be fine." Shen Xuanji silently told himself in his heart that he could only clamp the horse's abdomen tighter and did not want to relax for a moment.

She rushed up the mountain and couldn't care about the smoke and dust. Sure enough, far away, she saw Xue Zhen's familiar carriage parked in the middle of the road, which was already dilapidated. The hole was very thrilling in Shen Xuanji's eyes. Her heart was beating wildly, and the Venus in front of her was so chaotic that she was almost ready to fall down.

When she looked again, she saw a man lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth. She couldn't see clearly, surrounded by blood stains.

Shen Xuanji grabbed the horse's rein, climbed down, and walked over with a deep and shallow foot. Not everyone knows the ninth princess, and Shen Xuanji is also a casual dress today. His temples are scattered and sticking to his face and stained with dust. He looks very embarrassed, and someone came up to stop him.

Who would have expected that Shen Xuanji was extremely powerful? The man was almost pushed by her without defense. She went straight to the corpse and reached out to lift the white cloth!

"xuanji?" She suddenly turned around and saw Xue Zhen looking at her in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Wow!" With a sound, Shen Xuanji cried out loud. Xue Zhen hurried up and pulled her into his arms, and his eyes were also hot. "I'm fine. Why are you crying..."

Shen Xuanji did not answer, put his arms around his neck and cried regardless of his image. While crying, he also wiped his nose on the forged robe of Xue Zhen's blue gold thread.

Huo Qiyue was half a step behind Xue Zhen and was stunned to see this scene, "What's the situation?" He stabbed a guard left beside him.

"Back to Commander Huo, this should be the ninth princess, who ran all the way. Our brother was about to be stopped by her and almost pushed him to eat shit. He was about to lift the white cloth. The ninth prince arrived and shouted the princess's name, which is the current situation." The guard replied rigidly.

Huo Qiyue wanted to laugh and saw Xue Zhen cast a warning look from afar. He quickly closed his mouth and pretended to be thoughtful.

After a long time, Shen Xuanji stopped her tears. She was shocked and afraid just now, but now she is ashamed and ashamed. Although Huo Qiyu and "Jin Wuwei" are very considerate and pretend that nothing has happened, she still can't wait to find a seam to drill down.

"Shuangchi, bring my cloak to the princess." Xue Zhen knew that she was embarrassed and was afraid that she would be annoyed, so he quickly ordered Shuangchi.

Shuangchi brought the cloak, and Shen Xuanji quickly wrapped himself tightly, revealing only one pair of eyes.

Huo Qiyue said a few words in Xue Zhen's ear. Xue Zhen nodded, "I originally wanted to hide it from the Empress Dowager and not worry her, but it seems that I can't hide it." He patted Huo Qiyu on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you have any clues, remember to find someone to let me know."

"Yes." Huo Qiyue was not as familiar with Xue Zhen in front of others as he was in private, and he answered.

Xue Zhen first put Shen Xuanji on the horse, sat on it himself, nodded to Huo Qiyu, waved the whip, and left.

In the evening, the wind was strong, and Huo Qiyu faintly heard Shen Xuanji say, "Your Majesty, what should I do? I'm ashamed."

"It doesn't matter. Whoever wants to go out to talk will gouge out the dog's eyes." ......

Huiyu turned his face and looked at the soldiers of "Jinwuwei" and saw that everyone, like him, opened their mouths wide, and shrank their necks for fear of cold.

Xue Zhen's words are good. The Empress Dowager didn't know about his attack until night. The Empress Dowager was also a person, but when she turned her eyes, she knew who had poisoned the hand. Suddenly, she was so angry that her hands and feet trembled, and she put the medicine bowl on the ground fiercely, "Come on! Dress up! My family is going to see the emperor!"

In the Yuantai Hall, the emperor is being fed medicine by Li Guifei. The Empress Dowager came in aggressively. As soon as she saw the Noble Concubine Li, she said harshly, "Go out and I have something to say to the emperor."

The Empress Dowager has been seriously ill for a long time and has been unable to compare with a few years ago. However, the dignity of her who has been in charge of the harem for decades is still there, and Li Guifei was actually suppressed by her and went out obediently.

She closed the door, but did not leave. Instead, she stood in the shadow of the candle and put her ears to the door to eavesdrop.

The Empress Dowager's voice was very low. She could hardly hear anything. She only heard a few words, but "wolf ambition", "unfilial", "must be a disaster" and so on. She clenched her fist fiercely, and a gloomy light flashed in her eyes.

After the Empress Dowager left, the emperor summoned Huo Qiyue, the commander of "Jinwuwei", and then made a decree that the Eighth Prince was incompetent in supervising state affairs and fined him half a year and banned for one month.

Xue Zhen laughed uncontrollably when he heard the news. Shen Xuanji and Huo Qiyue, who came to send the message, stood aside and looked at him smiling like that, as if they didn't know when to stop.

Shen Xuanji winked at Huo Qiyu. Huo Qiyu nodded and quietly retreated.

Shen Xuanji squatted down and held Xue Zhen in his arms, "Your Majesty, don't be sad..."

Xue Zhen's eyes turned red with a smile, "I'm almost dead, so he's only fined and banned? I know that he has always been biased, but I didn't expect that... unexpectedly..."

"In this world, not everything is fair. Since he refuses to give fairness, what's wrong with us to ask for it ourselves?" ......
