The world is heavy and late

Chapter 154

Wang An looked at Xu Zhong who was still in a coma, his face darkened.

He didn't expect that when he and Xu Zhong were on the road together, those people would dare to make a move and ignore him at all.

King An now understands why the emperor was so angry when those people attacked the prince.

It is simply unreasonable. Is there any kingly law in the world.

The faces of Princess An and Princess Anyang next to her were also full of worry.

Wang An's eyebrows seemed to be wrinkled when he looked at Anyang, his eyes were fixed on Xu Zhong who was being examined by the doctor, and his face was still a little pale.

He felt distressed and said: "Anyang go to rest first, Mr. Xu will be fine."

Concubine An also looked at Anyang, and found that Anyang's complexion was indeed not very good, so she coaxed: "Anyang go back first, and come to see Mr. Xu tomorrow."

Anyang heard the two people coaxing her, and the tears that could be held back gradually became unbearable, and she said in a crying voice: "Father, mother and concubine, Master Xu was injured to save me."

Before he finished speaking, tears were already falling down, which made King An feel bad. He quickly took out the handkerchief to wipe the tears on Anyang's face, and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, Anyang, Mr. Xu He will definitely wake up, and we will reward him when he wakes up, so stop crying."

Anyang's tears couldn't be stopped, after all, he was a little scared by today's scene.

Concubine An glanced at King An, took the handkerchief in her hand, and gently wiped Anyang's tears, saying over and over again: "If Anyang wants to thank Mr. Xu by himself, he must recover his spirit today, so that he can visit Mr. Xu tomorrow. right?"

An Yang nodded, and Princess An signaled the people next to him to take him down.

The doctor next to him had already finished the examination, and only then came up and said: "Report to the lord, wangfei. Lord Xu's injuries are not serious, but he was tired and passed out due to the exhaustion of the boat and the excessive blood loss. He can wake up tomorrow and return to the hospital. Don't delay your daily journey."

When King An heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor asked him to take the man back, but something happened to the passerby, and it was because of his daughter. He was afraid that he would lose face.

After the doctor had finished reading Xu Zhong, Concubine An and King An also returned to their rooms.

Originally, they didn't need to go to Xu Zhong's injury or something in person. Who made Xu Zhong suffer the injury for Anyang under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Concubine An waited until there were only two of them before she spoke: "My lord Xu is very successful, the prince should be good at accepting advice."

King An paused, a little resentful, but still reluctantly said: "This king knows, this time it was my king who was careless."

Concubine An stopped talking. The day before yesterday, Xu Zhong carefully studied his own map and felt that this place might not be peaceful.

Because they were very peaceful along the way, according to experienced people, when they approached the capital immediately, it was when they were most careless. Xu Zhong felt that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time.

So I found Wang An that day, and wanted to propose that they go in disguise first, and the rest of the chariots, horses and people would follow slowly.

But Xu Shi had been on the road for several days, and King An was quite tired, so he didn't want to listen to Xu Zhong's move to get rid of the golden cicada's shell, and said with a sneer, "What's the matter if something really happened? This king has ordered two hundred elite soldiers. "

Facts have proved that what the two of them said was correct, there was indeed an enemy attack, but they were also dispersed by the general Hao Can, but it was the scattered bandits who released many cold arrows.

Not only many soldiers were recruited, even Anyang who was hiding on the side was almost shot by the flying arrows. Fortunately, Xu Zhong stretched out his hand to become a family, and the arrow that hit Anyang's head high hit Xu Zhong's ribs.

King An was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, regretting that it was not for anything else, he just felt that he had frightened his own Anyang, so he turned around and pushed Princess An next to him, saying: "You can spend more time with Anyang these few days. , lest she be afraid."

Concubine An glanced at Wang An, closed her eyes and said calmly: "I know, my lord, go to sleep."

It was already the third day when Xu Zhong and the others set out on the road again. Anyang disagreed with Xu Zhong who was injured and went on the road.

Naturally, King An would not go against Anyang's wishes, so it was an extra day, and besides, they only went to the capital for two days at most.

Xu Zhong leaned on the blanket of the carriage, he couldn't ride a horse now.

Zhu Ba and Hou San followed Xu Zhong from left to right, An Ping and Cheng Dalang were waiting in the carriage, and the other was driving outside.

Xu Zhong lifted the curtain lightly, looking at the scenery outside, he felt a little closer to the nostalgia and more timid.

As usual, he touched his purse before he breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Xia Qing would not be angry for too long.

But in fact, Xia Qing was not angry at all at the moment, she asked eagerly: "Really?"

The servant lowered his head and said, "Yes, someone saw Eunuch Cui go to meet those people with his own eyes."

Xia Qing's heart beat a little faster, it's up to this time to clean up all the people in Ganlu Hall.

She said to the servant: "According to what I said a few days ago, hide and watch those people, and don't let them go before the others come, especially Eunuch Cui, I want to know everyone in Liugong. people, do you understand?"

The waiter said, "Understood, but aunt... do this."

Xia Qing knew what the waiter wanted to say, she said: "No problem, I will explain when Xu Zhong asks."

The servant looked into Xia Qing's burning eyes and lowered his head.

There was no way, even without them, Xia Qing could find someone to do these things, and now he was arranging them to do it just to give them an excuse in front of Mr. Xu.

Xia Qing sent the servant away and looked at the filled sun. It was September, and the sun was still a bit dazzling.

Xia Qing thought to himself: Want her life?They have to have the ability to get it.

She was somewhat disappointed, because she didn't expect Cui Jieyu to be so unable to withstand the provocation, and she had prepared many methods to grind her slowly.

Who knew that the cost was reduced by half, and her prestige in the palace was reduced, so she couldn't bear it.

Xia Qing felt a little regretful.

But she never thought about whether there was a possibility that she offended Cui Jieyu too much, so she couldn't bear it all the more.

No matter what, Xia Qing went out alone in the evening.

He didn't even bring Qiao Huan with him.

Xia Qing walked on the palace road step by step, rubbing the jade gourd in her hand, and gradually walked in one direction.

She was a little nervous, and of course a little scared. After all, not everything would go in the direction they set, and it was more about excitement.

She had a strong hunch that this time it would definitely come true, and her hunch was always accurate.

She walked to the mirror lake step by step, looking at the bridge, which was the place she walked the most times in the palace, she walked slowly but firmly.

The moon is still bright in the sky, the evening breeze in September is already mixed with some cool air, and there is still a faint fragrance of flowers in the distance. Looking at this scene, it has a bit of the meaning of "the willow branches on the moon, and people make appointments after dusk".

But only those who have actually participated in it know how weirdly tense and exciting it is.

Xia Qing walked on the quiet bridge, and slowly turned around to look at the familiar rockery. She closed her eyes and thought to herself: Xu Zhong, keep me safe.

Eunuch Cui, who had been following behind him, was chilled by the cold wind, and felt a little withdrawn, but the cold sweat on his forehead kept coming out, and the new wound on his head was irritated and painful.

His heart skipped a beat, thinking of Cui Jieyu's gritted teeth trying to tear Xia Qing into pieces, he swallowed, if he didn't succeed, he might end up like the favored pet that he used to be. The raccoon cat is no different.

He said to the four people behind: "No one in the palace knows you, you just need to go up and push her down now."

The four of them hesitated, unlike Cui Jieyu and Eunuch Cui, the one who was provoked ignored everything, while the other was forced to mess around.

One of them hesitated and said to Eunuch Cui: "Eunuch, those people were still following a few days ago, but now there is no one around Aunt Xia, is there something strange?"

Eunuch Cui also had this thought in his mind, but he could only take a gamble. He had also heard that Xia Qing liked to come to Jinghu on weekdays. Maybe she didn't bring anyone with her when she came to Jinghu.

He knew that he and Cui Jieyu couldn't wait any longer, so he said with a hard face: "Whatever she has, you two push her, you two are familiar with water, jump down and hold her desperately at the bottom of the lake, Anyway, she must not live."

The four of them understood that it doesn't matter whether they live or die, but they must be killed.

Several people hesitated, and Eunuch Cui said: "Think about your heads."

Several people lowered their heads, not daring to speak anymore, they could only stare closely at Xia Qing's back.

Some servants in the distance stared at them, and someone ran up behind them and said, "Elder-in-law, what should we do?"

The servant glanced at Xia Qing's back and said, "Aunt Xia can't have any accidents, Mr. Xu repeatedly told her before leaving; the one in the middle surnamed Cui can't be let go, Aunt Xia must be caught."

At this moment, the surface of Mirror Lake is still the same as usual, quiet and silent.

The cold wind is cold and urgent.

But there is a weird atmosphere surging in the dark, and everyone in it can feel that the atmosphere is a bit stagnant. There seems to be something floating in the air, and the things that everyone inhales into their lungs seem to become sticky.
