Su Liuyuan stood up in surprise when she saw that the person coming was Su Huanqing.
"Brother, you're back!" Then he was stunned again, "Why did they let you in?"
"You can't get out, but you can let people in." Su Huanqing glanced at the guard outside the courtyard door and frowned slightly.
Su Liuyuan asked worriedly: "Brother, what should I do? Do I really want to marry to Dali?"
"Fifth sister, don't worry, I will find a way." Seeing her frown, Su Huanqing couldn't help comforting her.
"Young master, please go and beg the emperor to take back his decree! If the young lady marries to Dali, she will really be gone forever!" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but interjected.
Su Huanqing sighed and said: "Actually, I have already gone to ask the emperor, but recently, there have been wars on the border between Dali and our Southern Qi Dynasty, and Southern Qi has been defeated again and again. Now Dali has taken the initiative to seek peace by marriage, and asked you to marry by name. .So even if the emperor wants to keep you, I'm afraid he will have to give up on you compared with the power of Southern Qi."
Although I knew it in my heart, I couldn't help but feel chilled when I heard the result with my own ears. So what if he is the emperor's savior? If someone is willing to kill his own son, what else can he not be willing to do
"Brother..." Su Liuyuan murmured, "Can I not go..."
Su Huanqing wanted to hug her, but in the end she just moved, stretched out her hand and patted her hand, saying: "Don't worry, even if I risk my life, I won't let you get married there!" Su Liuyuan did not see the determination in his eyes.
"Miss, why didn't you tell the eldest young master just now that we were being hunted?" Xiao Yuan asked her eagerly as soon as Su Huanqing left.
Su Liuyuan looked at the guards outside the door, shook her head slightly and said, "I don't have a clue. It will only make him worry for no reason. Now that there are guards guarding the place, those people must not dare to mess around. "
However, what she said was not accurate at all.
That night, while restless, she heard the sound of slight footsteps. Then a bright knife was inserted into the door, and the door sheath slid off silently. The door opened slightly, and a dark figure came in. Su Liuyuan held her breath and raised her ears to listen to the approaching footsteps.
"hiss!"
Su Liuyuan opened the quilt, and the sound of breaking was immediately heard. She rolled into the bed, jumped to the other side of the bed, picked up the sword that had been hanging on the wall, a bright light flashed, and took the lead to meet the man. Dark shadow.
"Bang!" The swords struck each other, creating a series of sparks.
"Who is it?" The sound of the two fighting soon attracted the attention of the guards outside the courtyard. The leader of the guards, Jiang Zheng, quickly led people into the courtyard, only to see dozens of people jumping from the roof, all of them masked men in black.
"Quick fight!" The leading man in black whispered, then charged forward with his sword.
Under the moonlight, there was a shadow of swords and swords, and Xiao Yuan anxiously looked for Su Liuyuan's figure inside. A gust of wind swept by, and Xiao Yuan quickly ducked aside. When he looked up again, he saw a man in black slamming the door and falling to the ground. While he was in a daze, a person walked out of the room, it was Su Liuyuan who was calm and composed.
"Miss!" Xiao Yuan quickly stepped forward to take a look at her, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Su Liuyuan shook her head, her sharp eyes swept over the person who was fighting fiercely in the courtyard, and she focused on the target. She squinted her eyes slightly, and ran towards that person with the wind at her feet.
Leader Jiang saw her actions and shouted in panic: "Princess, be careful!"
The expressionless Su Liuyuan calmed down and pressed towards the man in black step by step. She was already good at using a sword, and with the internal strength she had learned from Xie Weixing during this period of time, she was suddenly as good as the man in black!
Xiao Yuan stepped aside and looked at her worriedly while trying to stumble other men in black. Although Leader Jiang was worried, he had no time to help her at this time.
With a sound of "Ding Ling", the man in black's right sword was blocked by the white figure who suddenly broke in, and Su Liuyuan was cleverly withdrawn from the battle. Two figures, one white and one black, turned from under the eaves into the courtyard. The sudden strength surprised the man in black, and he was injured again and again.
Before Su Liuyuan could recover, the men in black who were besieging Leader Jiang suddenly turned to her.
"Hmph!" Su Liuyuan saw a sword coming towards her and quickly swung the sword in her right hand to block it, but she didn't notice that another person took advantage of her and stabbed her in the chest. A dull pain hit her, and she couldn't help snorting, but she gritted her teeth and struck out with the sword. The two men in black holding swords only felt the tiger's mouth and had to withdraw the next round of offensive.
In the blink of an eye, a sharp shout came from afar: "Dodge!"
In an instant, the men in black retreated like fish. Leader Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently: "Princess! Are you injured?!"
When Su Huanqing, who was about to catch up with those people, heard this, he quickly ran to her and glanced at her left shoulder. There was already a lot of blood there, which was stained red on her beige dark clothes.
"Miss, I'm going to call the doctor!" Xiao Yuan took a breath when he saw the bright red blood. Fortunately, he calmed down and quickly thought of calling the doctor.
Su Huanqing threw away the sword in her hand, took out a small porcelain bottle from her body, and said to her: "Fifth sister, please eat this meatball first." Su Liuyuan, who frowned in pain, opened his mouth. Swallowed.
After helping her into the room and lying down, he wrapped her carefully in a cloth. Then he turned to Chief Jiang and said, "Chief Jiang, I know you are planning to report it to the emperor, but now all those men in black have retreated, not even a single one." There is no body left. If you report it, the Emperor will definitely hold you accountable. But even if you don’t report it, the Emperor will still know about it. But do you know how to speak during the interview? "
Jiang Zheng's expression changed, and he knew in his heart that Su Huanqing was doing this for his own good: "Mr. Su, I know Mr. Su's good intentions, and the emperor will know about such a big assassination sooner or later. I should suffer some punishment for my incompetence in doing things. "
"It seems that Chief Jiang still doesn't understand what I mean." Su Huanqing's usually gentle eyes were now as sharp as an eagle shooting at Jiang Zheng, "If the emperor asks about the whereabouts of those men in black, do you know what's going on?"
Jiang Zheng froze and was about to speak when Su Liuyuan suddenly spoke weakly: "Chief Jiang, why did the emperor send you here?"
"Of course it's to protect the princess!" Jiang Zheng replied without hesitation.
"So do you think you have protected me?"
Jiang Zheng was stunned and stood there, looking at the two of them. After a long time, he lowered his head in silence: "I understand. If the emperor asks, I know how to answer!"
Su Huanqing nodded and watched Jiang Zheng leave when there was another burst of noise outside.
"Brother, it must be dad and the others who were also woken up. I'm very tired now. Please help me pick it up, okay?"
Su Liuyuan raised her head, her brows furrowed. Such a weak look made him feel heartache for a while. He quickly comforted her and said, "You lie down first. I'll be back as soon as I can."
The quilt just now was torn apart, so Su Liuyuan had no choice but to take out a new quilt, but when it came out, it touched the wound on her chest, causing her to gasp for breath.
"Tsk, you're so careless!" A voice sounded distressed and blaming.
Su Liuyuan looked up and saw Xie Weixing walking quickly, wearing a black brocade embroidered with gold threads.
"How did you come?"
"I heard that you were brave again, so I came over to take a look at the excitement." Xie Weixing's expression was indifferent, but his hands were still half-moved, and he pulled off the wound that Su Huanqing had just wrapped with some disgust.
"Hey, can you think about my reputation..." Su Liuyuan leaned on the bed and said helplessly. Fortunately, the injury was in the shoulder socket, and her thoughts were not as conservative as the rich lady here.
Xie Weixing looked up at her with an unclear look and asked, "Do you still have the jade hibiscus I gave you last time?"
"Well, there." Su Liuyuan pointed to the small cabinet next to the bed and replied.
Xie Weixing opened the drawer and took out the jade hibiscus. As soon as he finished applying the medicine, he heard footsteps outside. He frowned, lowered his head and said to her: "It's not appropriate for me to appear here now. If something happens to you, just ask Shadow to come to me."
After saying that, before Su Liuyuan could recover, his figure had disappeared.
"Miss, the doctor is here!" Xiao Yuanren's voice came in before he entered the door.
Su Liuyuan leaned on the bedside and was surprised when she saw the person behind Xiao Yuan. That person was actually wearing an official robe!
"I see you, Princess."
"You are the imperial physician!" Su Liuyuan blurted out.
The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded, and the wrinkles on his face spread like blooming chrysanthemums.
