into the bosom

Chapter 199

In a daze, someone gave her a hand, and she stepped back.

There was a mess on the high platform, Xu Jiao saw that those assassins were very skilled, and they all came to this end, cutting anyone they saw.

But since he was an assassin, most of them went for Emperor Xian.

But Emperor Xian had the most guards around him, when someone shouted to escort them, they had already drawn out their weapons spontaneously and surrounded Emperor Xian in the middle.

During the fight, there were heavy soldiers surrounding them again. Xu Jiao saw a team in purple clothes and a team in black armor. The team in purple clothes was wearing masks, but the leader on the side of the black armor was He Lianshu.

He had a solemn face and walked like the wind. Xu Jiao looked at him, and hadn't seen him for a long time. The meeting again was such a thrilling scene. Seeing him, her panicked heart suddenly settled down a lot.

With Ziyiwei and Jishiwei joining, the situation of the battle soon turned around. Those assassins were already at the end of their battles. Emperor Xian felt that he was safe. He took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice, "Give me all these assassins. Keep alive." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a forbidden soldier who was standing in front of him suddenly swung the knife in his hand and slashed at his head——

It happened so suddenly, I thought Emperor Xian was safe enough under the heavy siege of the forbidden army, who would have expected that there would be assassins hidden among his own people?Whether it was the police guards and purple guards in the periphery, or the imperial guards in front, it was unexpected.

Even Emperor Xian himself was stunned by the fright, seeing the sharp knife light slashing at him.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Suddenly, a soft shout was heard, and a figure rushed out from the slanting stab, standing between the blade and Emperor Xian.

The man holding the knife was startled by this sudden change, his hands slipped, the knife slashed across the man's back, the man who came came groaned, and threw himself into Emperor Xian's arms.
"A Wan!" Xu Jiao, who was not far away, saw it, and as soon as his expression changed, he was about to lean over.

Unexpectedly, at this time, several people in the imperial army turned against each other again, and no one knew who was their own, and they were killed in a blink of an eye.

Xu Jiao was able to take a step forward, but didn't notice a shadow of a knife coming towards her. At the very moment, someone pulled her to the side, blocking her, and at the same time, the knife in her hand passed through her armpit. prick.

The assassin grunted and fell down.

When Xu Jiao came back to his senses, he immediately noticed the cut on his arm.Although it was a black shirt, the bright red blood quickly trickled down the arm and covered the hands.

Xu Jiao's expression changed, and he was about to inspect his wound carefully, but before he could speak, he stopped him with a look.

He clasped his hands and fists at her, and said in a polite and respectful tone, "Is the princess all right?"

Xu Jiao swallowed many words for the time being, with various complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, he shook his head and said, "It's all right. Thank you, Commander Helian, for saving me."

He Lianshu had no expression on his face, looked away, and raised his hand to beckon the two of them, "Quick! Escort the Princess to leave." When his gaze collided with Xu Jiao, he moved slightly imperceptibly.

Xu Jiao's heart trembled, and just as he was about to say something, he turned around and rushed into the crowd of swords again.And the two security guards assigned by him approached her and clasped their fists at her, "Princess, please follow my humble post."

Through the crowd, Xu Jiao looked in He Lianshu's direction again, turned around after all, and followed the two to a safe place.

After a while, I saw the eldest princess and the queen mother who were also escorted here. Both of them looked unhappy, and the queen mother was even paler, panting heavily as if she would faint at any time.Xu Jiao knew that the Empress Dowager might be ill again, so she rushed forward to meet her.

And the eldest princess's face was even more frightening, her eyes were like knives, when Xu Jiao leaned over, for a moment, the knives stabbed Xu Jiao's face like a substance.

Xu Jiao didn't understand why, he paused slightly, and looked at the eldest princess hesitantly.It's just that before she could ask anything, the eldest princess had already restrained her gaze, and the way she looked at her was no different from usual, which made Xu Jiao think that it was just her illusion.

Ziyiwei and Jijiwei joined forces for a rare moment, and quickly brought the scene to a standstill.

However, today's wave of assassinations will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition.

A trip to sacrifice to heaven ended without a problem like this.

Originally, the Empress Dowager fell ill again, and Wang Wan was still injured. Some courtiers suggested that Emperor Xian stay in the fasting palace for a while, and return to the palace only after the Empress Dowager's condition stabilized.Who knows, Emperor Xian didn't know if he felt that the fasting palace was not very safe, so he insisted on going back to the palace.However, he did not force the Queen Mother to go on the road together, leaving some people to protect the safety of the Queen Mother and others, and he went back to the palace first, but he also took the injured Wang Wan away.

The Empress Dowager did not leave, so the Eldest Princess and Xu Jiao naturally stayed behind.

Xu Jiao was thinking about what happened today, and his mood was a little erratic. Seeing the Queen Mother rushing in with the familiar Zhang Yuanshou of the Imperial Hospital, after giving the Queen Mother a pulse, he exchanged a glance with the anxious-looking Eldest Princess, and then saw The eldest princess nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine chest, poured out a vermilion pill and fed it to the Queen Mother's lips.

Not long after taking the medicine, the empress dowager's shortness of breath gradually calmed down.The eldest princess signaled the palace staff to put down the tent so that the queen mother could rest well, told the palace staff to take care of it carefully, and winked with Xu Jiao, and the two walked out of the bedroom where the queen dowager temporarily lived in the fasting palace.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, the cold wind with snowflakes came blowing towards my face, and it was snowing again outside at some point.

Xu Jiao shivered and closed his clothes, but his footsteps stopped suddenly.Because the eldest princess who was walking in front stopped suddenly, she suddenly turned her head to look at her, a pair of eyes flashed brightly.

Xu Jiao always felt that there was something wrong with the eldest princess today, as if she was suppressing her anger. It was natural for the eldest princess to be annoyed when something like this happened today, but Xu Jiao always felt that the eldest princess's behavior was a little strange, but where was the strangeness? , she said badly.

The eldest princess stared at her, her expression changed a few times, then she gritted her teeth after a while, suppressed her anger, and said to her, "Can you find a way to contact He Lianshu? I have something urgent, I need to see him."

Xu Jiao's heart trembled, she never thought that the eldest princess would tell her this matter, her mood that was already in a mess because of today's events suddenly became more like a mess, entangled and difficult to solve, the corners of her mouth fluttered, and she didn't know what to say What, I heard a cold voice coming from not far away, "Are you afraid that I will avoid you, Your Highness? Your Highness is too despised for a humble job."

Xu Jiao looked up at the man striding forward from the other end of the veranda, his eyes trembled.

The eldest princess looked at him with eyes as sharp as knives, and snorted coldly, "Helianshu, you owe me an explanation."

He Lianshu's eyes swept across Xu Jiao's face, and when he looked at the eldest princess, his thin lips curled up slightly, "Could it be that His Highness is in a hurry to ask the teacher to ask the crime?"

The eldest princess glanced at him coldly, turned her heels abruptly, turned around and took two steps, and then said calmly, "Follow me."

Xu Jiao's eyes fell on He Lianshu's blood-stained left hand.
