Yun Chang was startled, her mind went blank, and she almost fell off the horse.
King Jing's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he roared at Yunshang, "Ning Yunshang! What are you doing?" She was riding a horse in a daze, did she know that if she fell off the horse, Even if she wasn't killed by the fall, there were thousands of troops behind her, and if the soldiers behind her didn't have time to rein in their horses, the horses' hoofs would trample her to death.
Yunshang suddenly heard King Jing's angry shout, and came back to her senses, feeling as if her heart was being roasted on the fire. Brother has something to do, I will let your whole family be buried with him."
She hated herself for not remembering such an important episode when she heard that Jing Wenxi had gone to Laifeng Palace.
When Prince Jing heard her hateful voice, he was slightly taken aback. Could it be that something happened to Concubine Jin
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Yun Chang turn around with red eyes, "My concubine is in danger, I will go first." As he spoke, he slammed down a whip, and the horse under him rushed like an arrow off the string. out.
Prince Jing frowned. If Xia Houjing and Li Jingyan really led troops to intercept Emperor Ning, her going would be tantamount to death, so she hurriedly shouted, "Come back."
It's just that the people in front didn't know it. All they thought about was the concubine mother and his newborn brother. Prince Jing gritted his teeth in hatred, "Ning Yunshang, are you really tired of living? If you are caught by this king Stop, this king will definitely want you to look good." After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his voice, "What are the dark guards waiting for? Don't rush to chase after the princess. If something happens to the princess, you all come to see her." .”
As the sound of wind passed over his head one after another, Prince Jing's heart also lifted, but there were soldiers behind him. He didn't know if something would happen along the way, so he had to go forward with the large army.
Yunshang galloped all the way, and the horse under him was also exhausted from tossing. Yunshang gritted her teeth and said to herself, she must learn light work well in the future.
Since Emperor Ning said he was going back to the palace, he naturally returned with great fanfare, and he must have taken the official road all the way. Yunshang calculated at this time, if he set off early in the morning, he should have traveled no more than one-fifth of the distance by now. It's just that they have a carriage, so they will naturally travel more slowly. They just hope that everything is still in time.
After galloping for more than three hours, Yun Chang's whole body was already drenched with sweat. The midday sun was just so hot, but Yun Chang didn't care too much. Seeing a forest not far away, she felt a little relieved. In a single breath, he rode a horse and rushed into the forest, but after walking less than a kilometer in the middle of the forest, Yun Chang suddenly reined in the horse's reins, shaking his whole body.
The road ahead was full of corpses, stretching all the way for a long distance, and the official road was stained red with blood. Yun Chang's heart tightened, she got off her horse, and stepped forward to turn over a corpse lying on the ground. The body was still hot, it must have been dead not long ago, and it was wearing a soldier's armor, but it was not the armor of a Ning country soldier.
Is it from Xia Houjing? Yun Chang secretly guessed in her heart, but her heart became even more flustered. After walking two steps, she saw a corpse in other clothes lying on the ground, wearing an ordinary blue dress. She just touched it and felt a hard lump on her chest. He opened his coat, revealing the soft armor he was wearing inside. Yun Chang's heart moved. Ordinary soldiers definitely couldn't afford such soft armor. When he touched his waist, he found a token with the word "dark" written on it.
Yun Chang's face suddenly became pale and dark.
Prince Jing said that there is a guard army of about 20,000 people around the father, which exists exclusively to protect Emperor Ning. Could it be that this is the secret guard guarding the father
In this way, the dark guards and Xia Houjing's soldiers had already had a fierce battle here. Yun Chang raised her eyes and looked at the corpses all over the ground in front of her. She only felt a little weak in her body, and she seemed to have lost the courage to lift her feet. .
After a while, Yun Shang swallowed her saliva, regained her strength, and led the horse all the way to the front. There seemed to be a faint cry of a woman in front of her, and the string in Yun Shang's heart suddenly tightened. He hurriedly ran towards the front, but saw several carriages parked at the end of the corpses all over the ground. The decoration of the carriages looked expensive, and the crying came from the carriages.
Yunshang's heart skipped a beat, and she ran to the carriage, which was covered with blood. Yunshang's hands trembled violently, she gritted her teeth, and checked one by one, only to see that the more ornately decorated carriages in front of her were all empty. . The cry came from a blue carriage in the distance. Yunshang walked to the carriage, and after a long time, she yanked off the curtain, and a scream came from the carriage, "Ah... help... help, Don't kill me, don't kill me."
Yun Chang took a closer look, but saw the face of a strange woman in the carriage. The woman's face was full of horror, her eyes were closed, her body was trembling, and she was holding a little boy about five or six years old in her arms.
Yun Chang frowned, probably people passing by on the official road were frightened when they saw such a terrifying scene.
Yun Chang sighed, although she was very anxious, but she still sighed lightly after all, "Madam, don't be afraid, I'm just passing by."
The woman slowly opened her eyes with some hesitation, and she burst into tears when she saw Yun Chang's appearance.
Yunshang frowned, and saw a pink and jade-carved face protruding from the woman's arms, staring at her blankly, Yunshang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sorry, I want to ask , What happened here, have you seen it? I am really in a hurry. My family members will also pass by here on the way home. I was here to pick them up, but I didn’t see anyone along the way... "
The lady was trembling and speechless, but the little boy looked up at Yunshang and blinked, "We didn't see it, the carriage came here and suddenly... stopped, and the carriage driver screamed It seemed to run away, and my mother poked her head out to see what happened, and saw..."
Yun Chang nodded, turned around, got on the horse, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I'm afraid this road is not safe today, you should take your mother to take a detour." A hidden guard followed, so he called a hidden guard to come out and ordered him to send the mother and child out, then he waved his horsewhip and continued walking forward.
There are about a thousand corpses in this forest. She noticed it just now. The hidden guards seem to be a minority. It seems that the father did not suffer. However, she can clearly see the carriages in front of them. There are royal symbols on them. I don’t know. Those carriages were empty in the first place, and it was the father, mother and concubine who were ambushed on the road, so she had to abandon the carriage and did not see her father, mother and concubine. She should have breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it is the best news that she did not see the corpse. Seeing that there is such a woman with ulterior motives beside the concubine, I feel anxious, and become more anxious, where are the concubine and the others
Yunshang was silent for a while, gritted her teeth, called out all the hidden guards, and ordered, "I know the prince asked you to follow me to protect me, but I'm fine now, and I'm worried about my father and mother, so you used light work Let's go to the front first to see if the emperor father and concubine mother are nearby."
Standing in front of the hidden guards was a middle-aged man. Hearing this, he was silent for a while before saying, "Master said, we need to swear to protect the princess."
After several hours of running wildly, Yunshang's face was already very pale after being so frightened just now. Hearing what she said, she became a little paler. After a long while, Yunshang laughed and pulled out the dagger from between her legs , across his neck, "If something happens to my father, mother, and concubine today, this princess will die here. This princess should take a good look at how you can explain to the prince. This princess is not weak in martial arts, and can protect Take care of yourselves, follow the instructions to find the Emperor and Concubine Jin."
The hidden guards raised their eyes to look at Yun Chang. After a while, the middle-aged man nodded and waved his hands behind him, and all the hidden guards disappeared in front of Yun Chang.
Yun Shang sighed, if it wasn't for Ning Qian pretending to be the queen in the palace, and she was eager for revenge and ambushed all her people in the Golden Luan Hall, she wouldn't have threatened King Jing's people like this.
The dark guard searched around, but found no trace of Emperor Ning and Concubine Jin.
Yun Chang walked forward again, and after two forests, he arrived at Fengcheng. What happened to the father and mother? Slowly calm down in the heart, Yun Chang frowned, logically speaking, if they followed the normal speed, their team might have already passed the forest just now, but there were traces of fighting in the forest, but they did not find father and mother. Concubine, did they come back to Fengcheng again
Yun Chang thought about it in her heart, so she asked two hidden guards to come to Fengcheng to have a look first, and the rest followed her and continued on.
After walking for about an hour, they arrived outside a forest again, but this time, before entering the forest, the guards were already on guard, "Princess, there are voices coming from the forest ahead, there are people, there are many people. "
Yun Chang was shocked, and was about to go towards the forest, but was stopped by the hidden guard, "Wangfei, be careful."
Yun Chang was anxious, but she didn't lose her mind. She naturally knew that if she rushed in like this, and if Xia Houjing and Li Jingyan were really inside, they would definitely not let her go.
She couldn't give them another chance to catch her and threaten her concubine or Prince Jing.
Yun Chang pondered for a moment before saying, "I abandoned the horse, and we quietly entered the forest together. There are many shelters in the forest and the scene is chaotic. It is not difficult to hide our tracks."
As he said that, he jumped up and jumped straight from the horse towards the forest, and the hidden guard hurriedly followed.
Yun Chang quietly sneaked into the forest through the grass, and the voices in the forest became clearer, there were shouts of killing, the sound of weapons colliding, and the sound of someone falling down.
Yun Chang was twisted by the dark guard and hid on a tree, jumping from one crown to the other, the scene in the forest was unobstructed.
The fight below was fierce. Before Yunshang saw a piece of armor, there seemed to be several people standing there, frowning slightly, and one of them was slightly familiar. Yunshang thought for a moment before realizing that it should be the figure of Prime Minister Li .
Prime Minister Li is here, so the person next to him should be Xia Houjing. Is the father here
Yunshang asked the dark guard to spare them and searched forward. In front of Li Jingyan and Xia Houjing was a mass of dark figures. Yun Chang took a closer look, and those dark figures were dressed exactly the same as the corpses of the dark guards found in front of them earlier. The dark guards are here, and the ones behind them are the emperor and the concubine
Yun Chang jumped forward, and landed on the ground when she passed the dark figure.
"Who is it?" As soon as Yun Chang landed on the ground, two swords were already across her neck.
"Stop it, the one in front of you is Princess Yunshang, the current Princess Jing, don't be rude." An angry voice came from behind the guard, and Yunshang turned her head and looked at the girl holding the sword on her neck. The person in the room was full of anxiety, "Are you the imperial father's secret guards? Where are the imperial father and imperial concubine mother now?"
The hidden guard looked at Yunshang and the hidden guard behind her suspiciously in his eyes. Yunshang touched his waist, but he didn't know when his token had disappeared, but the sword had disappeared. It was a little closer to Yunshang's neck.
The secret guard behind Yunshang hurriedly took out his token, "We are the secret guards of the palace, and we are ordered by King Jing to protect Princess Jing."
The dark guards believed it, took down the sword, and bowed to Yunshang, "I don't know if it's Her Royal Highness, what an offense, the emperor and the concubine Jin are still in the palace in Laifeng City. Brother protects."
Yun Chang was taken aback, and turned to look at the secret guard who answered her question, "Father and mother said they were going back to the palace today, but they didn't leave?"
The secret guard nodded, "Yes. The emperor suspected that there was a secret work by Prime Minister Li in the palace, so he set up a suspicious formation and sent a letter to the prince saying that he set off today to lure the snake out of the hole."
Yun Chang was stunned, and then her heart fell back to reality, and she said, how could the father be so careless after sitting on the throne for so many years, and he was going back to the palace in order to be fully prepared.
However, thinking of Jing Wenxi, Yun Chang became anxious again, as long as Jing Wenxi stayed in Laifeng Palace for a day, she couldn't let go of her mind.
"My lord has already brought reinforcements here, but Prime Minister Li is very suspicious, and I'm afraid he will become suspicious after a while, so try to delay as long as possible." Yun Shang ordered, pulled a horse from the side, and rode towards Come to Fengxing Palace and leave.
It took about another hour before arriving in front of Laifeng City. The gate of Laifeng City was also closed. Yun Chang knocked on the gate and saw a group of archers appearing on the city wall. The dark guards quickly revealed their identities. Two people came out of the door, checked it, and then let Yunshang in.
Laifeng Palace is on the hillside of a mountain behind Laifeng City. Yunshang went up the mountain and took a lot of effort to enter the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw that the palace people in the palace were all in a hurry.
Yun Shang pulled a palace official to ask, only to find out that the little prince was actually sick.
Yun Chang was startled, and bit her lip, could it be that Jing Wenxi has already made a move? Or did she do it to her brother
Yun Chang hurriedly ran to the palace where Concubine Jin lived, and saw that the gate of the palace was closed, and there were still a few guards standing at the door. Yun Chang stepped forward and was stopped by someone.
"I'm Princess Yunshang, let me in." Yunshang frowned, looking a little displeased.
The guard shook his head, "The little prince has a pox, in order to prevent infection, no one can go in."
Acne? Yun Chang's face turned pale, how could this be? She naturally knows what it means for such a young child to have acne, and she is very anxious in her heart, but also mixed with some doubts. Acne usually occurs in spring and winter. Why did my younger brother develop acne in this scorching summer? .
"Where are your majesty and concubine Jin?" Yun Chang asked hastily.
The guard replied blankly, "The emperor and the concubine Jin are both inside."
"Mother concubine! Mother concubine! I am Chang'er, I have studied medicine, let me go in and see my brother." Yun Shang shouted loudly while standing outside the palace gate.
Yun Chang yelled for a long time, and was about to break in, but the door of the palace was opened suddenly. Yun Chang was about to rush in, but when she heard "stop her", the guard stopped Yun Chang from the door.
Yun Chang froze for a moment, raised her eyes, and saw Concubine Mu standing in the door, looking at her from a distance, "You have never had acne, don't come in."
Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Concubine Mu, let me in, I have studied medicine, and I know how to take care of my brother."
Concubine Jin was unmoved, "Nurse Zheng also studied medicine, she will take good care of Chen Xi."
Yun Chang frowned, knowing that her mother and concubine would definitely not let her in, sighed, and was about to take two steps back, when she heard a delicate and pretty voice, "Ms. The prince has applied the medicine."
Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Jing Wenxi walking out of the hall. Jing Wenxi saw that she seemed to be in a daze, and then greeted Yunshang with a smile, "Why is Princess Yunshang here? Princess Yunshang has never had pox, so it's better not to come in. If the chickenpox is infected It's terrible."
With that expression, it seemed that she cared deeply about Yun Shang. Yun Chang's brows were tightly frowned, because when she came to Fengcheng, Chen Xi developed acne, how could there be such a coincidence in this world, Yun Chang naturally didn't believe it. It doesn't matter if Chen Xi has acne, she believes in Madam Zheng's medical skills, but Jing Wenxi takes care of Chen Xi inside, if she really wants to do something bad to Chen Xi as she thinks, then Chen Xi will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Yun Chang put her hand in her sleeve, lifted it up abruptly, raised her hand and patted the two guards standing in front of her. Jing Wenxi was here, so it was inconvenient for her to reveal her kung fu skills , It's just that it's easy to get in.
The two guards softened in an instant, and Yun Chang took this opportunity to rush over, hugged Concubine Jin, raised her eyes, smiled slightly at Concubine Jin who was a little stunned, and raised her hand. Picking up the silver needle in his hand, he said with a smile, "These two guards are really stupid. I fell down with just one silver needle. Fortunately, I learned the technique of acupuncture points with silver needles from Madam Zheng. Now I have entered. Mother and concubine don't drive Chang'er away."
Concubine Jin's complexion was a little pale, she stared at Yunshang for a long time, and then said, "Go out, if you also get infected, what should I do?"
The corners of Yunshang's raised mouth drooped down, and after a moment of silence, she stood up straight, turned her back to Jing Wenxi, and said silently to Concubine Jin, "Jing Wenxi has a problem, I can't let her get close Dawn."
Concubine Jin paused for a moment, glanced at Yunshang, and then raised her voice, "Come here, boil the potion for the princess and Miss Jing to soak, put on clean clothes, and leave here."
Yun Chang shook her head, "Concubine Mu, since I've come in, I won't go out again." Then, she turned around and looked at Jing Wenxi and said, "Miss Jing, please take care of Chen Xi, she must have come out Those who have had acne, you will no longer be infected, so go away first, I am here, everything is fine."
Jing Wenxi opened his eyes wide and looked at Yun Shang, with some hesitation on his face, "But..."
Yun Shang didn't give her a chance to speak again, "Prince Jing led the soldiers behind, and he's going to the palace soon, I can't go out, please tell Miss Jing and Prince Jing, after Chen Xi's acne is cured, I will go out."
