Chapter 53 Underestimate
The wind is still blowing, and the smell of blood is getting heavier and heavier.

Xiao Ning couldn't believe what he saw, the people who were crowded just now were lying lifeless now.

With the sound of horseshoes, she raised her eyes and saw a man with sword-like eyebrows flying, dressed in a purple dress with a chic atmosphere, a broad chest, and sharp eyebrows, which seemed to hide the righteousness of the world.

Si Ruiyan rode his horse and swung his whip, with a longbow on his back, and his brows looked like a galloping horse.

"The minister, Si Ruiyan, came late to rescue me, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." Si Ruiyan got off the horse, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and nodded.

The emperor looked surprised, looking at the kneeling people, it took a long time to realize: "You shot those arrows just now?"

"Yes." Si Ruiyan whispered in a deep voice, his eyes were cold, as if he had just done an ordinary thing.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at the jungle, which was at least three hundred steps away.To be able to shoot such a sharp and swift arrow from such a distance, not only must the hands have a lot of strength, but the inner strength must also be extremely powerful.

Needless to say, precision is nothing more than a hundred steps.

"My Majesty, there are still hundreds of people lying in ambush in the jungle, and all of them have been killed by my ministers. The thieves led the crowd to ambush here. They must have come prepared. I hope the Emperor will order the Imperial Forest Army to collect the corpses for investigation." Si Rui said coldly. whisper.

On the other side, Shen Shaojie led the soldiers to kill those 30 people, and led the soldiers to the front of the imperial court to obey his orders.

"Pass down my will, the fourth prince, Si Ruiyan, has done a great job in saving you, and I will give you another reward after I return to the palace." The emperor's voice was low, and looking at Si Ruiyan, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"To capture the thief and capture the king, the regent will take the leader back to investigate carefully, and the rest will be searched and burned on the spot.

"Shen Shaojie clasped his fists to receive the order, and looked at Si Ruiyan next to him, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

One person fought against more than a hundred people, and successfully rescued them in a life-or-death situation, but what they got in the end was an additional reward.

The emperor returned to the palace under the escort of the soldiers, and the daughters of gold also went back to the various residences with the courtiers after resting in the tent.

Those sons and young masters who fled did not show up again. Since they were deserters, they naturally had to sneak back to the house.

"You're still tossing around with injuries on your body, don't you want to die!" Seeing Si Ruiyan's vest, a large swath of blood had already fainted when Xiao Ning saw it.

Si Ruiyan remained silent, leading the horse and walking away as if nothing happened.

"Later, my king will send someone to send an imperial doctor." Shen Shaojie's eyes showed a hint of deep meaning, "You don't have to feel sorry for him not being rewarded, he didn't come here to save you."

Xiao Ning was startled, a little confused.

Shen Shaojie raised his eyes and looked at a place where a broken arrow was lying horizontally.

It was exactly where Xiao Ning had stayed.

Xiao Ning was even more stunned, how could there be Broken Arrow by his side?
"Those people didn't come here to assassinate the emperor." Seeing that she still didn't understand, Shen Shaojie glanced at the corpse lying on the ground.

Just now he was so entangled in the fight that he couldn't get away, but he still looked this way from the corner of his eye.

When the emperor was assassinated, another arrow secretly came towards Xiao Ning.

Si Ruiyan's arrow intercepted the arrow that assassinated Xiao Ning first, and then he rescued him.

"You go back with him first, the king will find out everything before sending someone to your restaurant." Shen Shaojie led a group of people to search for the assassins.

Xiao Ning turned around and saw that Si Ruiyan had already walked a long way leading the horse.

A touch of red on the vest is even more dazzling.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly felt that everything she saw was unreal.

Will Si Ruiyan risk his life to save her?

This question lingered in her mind, making her think for three days and three nights.

In the restaurant, Lao Song was very worried when he saw that the eldest lady was out of her mind, and that even the big sale of new dishes made her unable to lift her spirits.

"Old Song, if a person you hate so much is in danger, will you help him?" Xiao Ning was puzzled, and seeing Lao Song wandering around like a headless fly, he had no choice but to ask him .

"It's just an annoying person, so what's the point of saving him? I wish he could die." Song Ading shook his head and said.

"That's right, he's not a saint, how could he repay grievances with virtue?" Xiao Ning's eyes dimmed.

Xiao Ning kept recalling what the original owner did to Si Ruiyan. If it were her, she would be so angry that she wanted to strangle the original owner a hundred times.

No matter how strange a person with a bad temper is, he will never be kind enough to be merciful to those he hates.

But when Xiao Ning saw the Broken Arrow beside her, she also believed that Shen Shaojie would not miss it.

If Si Ruiyan was the one who saved the emperor, then he would be the one who saved himself.

Xiao Ning rubbed her temples, feeling that one brain is not enough for her.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs.

"Where is the Second Miss of the Xiao family?" came the eunuch's soft voice.

The servant downstairs saw that it was an eunuch in the palace, so he led him to the attic without saying a word.

"Second Miss Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few days, how is your jade body?" The eunuch's smile seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times, and it was decent and natural.

"Eunuch Xie is concerned, everything is fine." Xiao Ning recognized him as the emperor's personal eunuch.

"The Emperor has a decree that Second Miss Xuan Xiao will enter the palace to have an audience." The eunuch Fushen whispered.

It's not the first time Xiao Ning has entered the palace, but every time he hears the word "audience", his heart still fluctuates.

The palace carriage had already stopped in front of the restaurant, Xiao Ning had no reason to refuse.

The previous times when she entered the palace, she was in the imperial study room, but this time she was led to the imperial garden.

The flowers are red, the willows are green, butterflies are flying, and the faint fragrance of flowers is refreshing.This is a refreshing place, but Xiao Ning couldn't relax no matter what.

"That's when you were assassinated. I heard that you're going back to the restaurant to take care of business the next day. Why don't you rest for a few days?" The emperor was sitting in the brook pavilion, fishing with a pole in his hand.

Xiao Ning slightly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and said cautiously: "Thanks to the protection of the eldest son, the daughter of the people is fine. Wouldn't it be a joke to have to recuperate with no injuries."

The emperor smiled lightly a few times, but his eyebrows and eyes did not move at all.

This is obviously a fake smile.

Xiao Ning's heart moved, he knew that this line of work was not easy.

"The fourth prince has done a great job in rescuing him, but I haven't rewarded him yet. Tell me, what reward should I give?" The emperor shook the fishing rod in his hand a few times, as if he was luring the fish in the stream. Son.

Xiao Ning also smiled: "As a subject, it is common sense to protect the lord. My husband just did what he should do, so there is no need for any reward."

That day she heard Si Ruiyan claiming to be a minister, so his protégé could be considered a minister.

"The two of you, husband and wife, are really of the same mind, and you are so cautious when speaking." The emperor threw the fishing rod aside, shook his sleeves and got up and walked in front of Xiao Ning.

"I ask you, what reward do you want?"

The tone was deep and firm, like a heavy hammer hitting Xiao Ning's heart.

She frowns unmovingly as if she is thinking, but her heart is already a little flustered.

After a while, she slowly said: "Since the emperor wants to reward, why not ask for a pen and ink of the emperor.

The Song family restaurant was favored by the emperor, but the name was too simple, and the women only wanted a good name, so it was a bit of a celebration.

The emperor was slightly taken aback, raised his head and laughed loudly.

"Okay, it's up to you." He turned around and signaled the eunuch to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study.

Xiao Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, how could she dare to ask for a reward for Si Ruiyan.This is more or less, the emperor will be suspicious.

The king's heart is unpredictable, she dare not think about asking for rewards.

She has no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, and as a daughter, she can't be an official.Si Ruiyan is a proton, and it is even more impossible to get any good reward from the emperor. If the emperor really wanted to, he would have directly issued an order, so why would he bring her here to ask questions.

It is obvious that the emperor is testing.

The Song family restaurant is also doing things for the emperor, so begging him to write a few words is justified.
