The queen leaves the court

Chapter 9
He Lianqing, the banquet at the Prince's Mansion, attended the appointment on time, accompanied by An Zixun and Hua Qianyou.

The water pavilions and terraces are exquisitely carved, and every detail shows the elegant and elegant style of the owner, which is similar to the feeling of He Lianchen.With a round personality, he is in the East Palace, but he acts in a law-abiding manner, without any mistakes, and in the shade of flowers, everyone sits down.

When the music sounded, An Zixun was immediately attracted, and it was the familiar Shanghai tune again. Her eyes followed the sound of the music to explore the past, and it was really the musician named Ji Yunshang.

He sat cross-legged and plucked the stringed qin, with an air of intoxication. He didn't need any dancers to set him off. His exquisite qin sound touched people's hearts every time and was convincing enough.

As soon as the melody came to the end, I heard someone approaching not far away, clapping their hands and praising, "It's great, it's amazing!" After speaking, the young man walked into the waterside pavilion.

"Jin Yihou, you are here." Not only did He Lianchen not blame the visitor for interrupting the music, but greeted him with a smile.

The man's slender eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and a blush appeared on his extremely handsome face. He pursed his lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, very shy.

"Are you Chun Shui?" He Lianxiao asked suddenly, very surprised, and turned to look at He Lianqing, "Third brother?"

"Helian Chunshui pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Then he turned to He Lianqing, "Third Emperor Uncle, Seventh Emperor Uncle, don't come here unharmed!"

A different look flashed across He Lianqing's eyes, and he looked the person in front of him up and down, "It's been ten years, and you're finally back."

"Uncle Three Emperors, Chun Shui is back."

He Lianqing stood and patted Helian Chunshui on the shoulder lightly: "You kid has grown up!"

It turned out that they were uncles and nephews.

Inadvertently, her eyes met Helian Chunshui, and he also recognized her, his eyes lit up, and he looked at her with a little surprise, An Zixun smiled.

The subtle eye movement between them was caught in Helianqing's eyes, he pulled Helian Chunshui who was about to take a seat, and said, "Chunshui, come to meet the third uncle's concubine."

Seeing clearly that the person in front of him was An Zixun, he froze for a moment, "Are you Princess Qing?"

"Why do you know each other?" He Lianqing asked seemingly unintentionally, but the next moment he put his arms around An Zixun's waist.From Chun Shui's surprised eyes, he could see that it was not the first time he and An Zixun had met.

"I don't know him, but he looks very friendly." Helian Chunshui denied it with a smile before An Zixun could speak. "Helian Chunshui met Princess Qing."

"Master Hou, no courtesy." She smiled back, but actually she didn't know each other, but they met by chance in the mountains that day and said a few words, in fact, they were strangers.

The only thing she didn't expect was that there was such a connection between him and Helian Qing.

His waist was tightly held by him, and the slender fingers became as strong as iron pliers, pinching her in pain, secretly patted Helianqing's too hard hand away, An Zixun moved to the side without leaving a trace.If the prince hadn't asked her to come here by name, she wouldn't want to pay attention to this person at all, and there would be no reconciliation between them.

He Lianqing didn't say anything, her brows were cold and indifferent, and she let her go.

After drinking for three rounds, she found an excuse to go out to get some air.As long as there is Hua Qianyou around He Lianqing, she doesn't want to get in the way of him, nor does she want to see their intimacy.

At the beginning of the moonlight, the shadows of the lamps were reflected in the blue waves of the water pavilion, and a gust of summer wind blew and disturbed the still water in the pool. She stared at the rippling ripples in silence for a long time.

Hua Qianyou said her antidote, she had already arranged to do it tonight, and when she got the antidote, she would go back to the South China Sea overnight, and if she stayed in Xichu for one more day, she would be in more danger.

She was almost killed by Helian Qing...

When An Zixun thought of this, she felt very angry and annoyed.

There happened to be a stone at her feet, and she kicked it out vigorously, hitting the lake, and after a thud, there was no sound.

"You are really angry." A voice suddenly came from behind, An Zixun quickly turned around to look, she was worried and angry at the same time, she didn't care when there was someone behind her.

Under the moonlight, she could clearly see the person coming, he would really blush from time to time, more shy than the woman.

She smiled softly, "It's Lord Hou, I'm not angry, I was just kicking stones for fun." She kicked another stone into the lake as she spoke, then turned and walked past him.

He caught up with her a few steps behind, and explained anxiously by her side, "I didn't mean to say that I didn't know you. When I heard that you were the concubine of my third uncle, I was afraid that if I told you about the things in the mountains, I would tell you Bring trouble!" As he spoke, his tone became anxious, not only his face turned red, but his ears also turned red.

Although she didn't feel uncomfortable because of this reason, but his explanation moved her a little.He stopped, "I'm not angry, don't worry, Master Hou."

"Are you really not angry? I don't think you were very happy just now." He didn't fully believe what An Zixun said.

"My unhappiness is not because of you." What is the reason for her unhappiness?An Zixun sometimes feels that she can't tell, she should be happy, and after her mother is healed, she will live in Nanhai all year round, she doesn't need to be patient, she should live happily and freely!This is also her dream in this life.

Helian Chunshui heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing what she said, "Just don't blame me." As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, "Is your foot better? That day your foot was worn out and bleeding, and you asked the doctor to prescribe it. ?"

His series of greetings were very concerned and anxious, An Zixun was stunned, her foot injury was only treated hastily, and she didn't even care much about it.

Seeing her expression, Helian Chunshui laughed, "Wait here, I have some medicine, I'll take it for you. It's the best wound medicine in Jinzhou."

"No need, Lord Hou..." Before she finished speaking, Helian Chunshui had already run away, but he stopped halfway and told her to wait for him to come back.

That smile is as innocent as a child, overlapping with Helianqing's gentle appearance three years ago in her heart, which makes people feel soft.

Sitting by the pool, she took off her shoes. The new shoes had worn out the unhealed wound. She didn't pay attention to it at first, but when she realized it was really painful.

After a while, footsteps sounded from behind. An Zixun thought it was Helian Chunshui who came over, so she didn't pay much attention, and said casually, "Thank you, please run."

Just as she was about to turn around, a shadow covered the top of her head, her eyes went black for a moment, and someone pushed her hard from behind. With a "plop", she fell into the pool water.

He Lianqing sealed her acupoints before, but she forcibly opened them. His acupuncture technique was very strange. Although she had already opened her acupoints, her internal energy could not function as usual, and she became like an ordinary person with no power .

She basically just jumped a few times in the water, before she even had time to call for help, she gradually sank into the water.

How could she not know how to swim when she grew up in Nanhai, she just wanted to see who would dare to attack her in the Prince's Mansion?
Or, it is really going to put her to death and hurry up!
"Someone fell into the water, save him!" An urgent cry for help suddenly sounded by the pool.

Soon all the people from the water pavilion rushed over, and Helian Chunshui was the one who ran in the front. When he saw the people calling for help, he asked repeatedly, "Who fell into the water?"

The man who called for help lowered his head and replied, "It seems to be Princess Qing, I just saw that she was not walking steadily..."

"Go down and save people, what are you still doing here!" Helian Chunshui hurriedly ordered the servants.

But He Lianqing stopped suddenly, "Wait." He swept the rippling water in the pool, it was very close to the water pavilion, and she sank in a short time?Then immediately someone called for help?
Turning her sharp eyes, she looked around again, looking for the figure of the person calling for help.

"Third brother, hurry up and send someone to rescue her. Is your brother and sister familiar with water? Don't delay saving your life." He Lianchen was also anxious, but He Lianqing let go and sent someone to rescue him.

Helian Chunshui couldn't wait, so he just ran over and was about to jump down, but was hugged tightly by the sharp-eyed Rong Fu, "Master Hou, you can't swim, if you go down, you won't be able to save the princess!"

"Then, what should we do?" He was a little panicked, his clothes were torn into a mess, "Rong Fu, go!"

"If Rong Fu knew water, he would have gone down to save people for Master Hou!" Rong Fu murmured.

He stared at He Lianqing all of a sudden, as if he saw a savior, "Uncle Sanhuang, you will do it. I remember you are the best swimmer. Please save her quickly. She still hurts her feet. If she touches water again, she will be hurt." Aggravate!"

Is she hurt?He had no idea.A trace of worry that he hadn't even noticed flashed across his eyes. After so much trouble, no matter how good he was after holding his breath for so long, he still didn't see her move. Could it be...

The water in the pool was calm for a long time, but the moonlight was covered by dark clouds at some point. Even if the lights were lit in the dark night, the water in the pool appeared faintly black.He Lianqing suddenly raised his heart, and jumped down without thinking.

He always felt that something was wrong just now, so he didn't go into the water immediately.Completely neglected, the pool water in summer is still bone-chillingly cold at night, He Lianqing felt cold and held her breath to search in the water.

With an arm around her waist, just surfaced.

"Ah, help!" A woman screamed in horror, and He Lianqing recognized it as Hua Qianyou.

Shallow!

With stern eyes, He Lianqing carried the unconscious An Zixun ashore.

Helian Chunshui looked at An Zixun in his arms, and ran over when they saw them going ashore, "Uncle Sanhuang, what's wrong with her?"

The person in his arms closed his eyes tightly, his face pale and bloodless.

"It should be fine." He Lianqing replied simply, he gave her his internal energy in the water, and after surfacing, she spit out a few mouthfuls of pool water, and it seemed to be all right.

An Zixun slowly opened his eyes, the first person he saw was He Lianqing, with a perfect profile, his beautiful lips tightly pursed into a stern arc, his eyes were looking not far away, full of anger, More nervous and worried!
She glanced sideways.

The guards of the Prince's Mansion rushed out from the shore, and they had already guarded several princes and female relatives present, except Qianyou was not among them, she was facing everyone, and was held hostage by a man in black.

The scream seemed to exhaust all her strength, Hua Qianyou's slender body trembled all the time, and as the man in black continued to slowly retreat, she almost fell down several times.

She looked at them in horror and asked for help, meeting Helianqing's anxious eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"My lord, help me..."

An Zixun was put down by him, and he only heard a simple sentence, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, are you okay?" After holding back in the water for a long time, she basically reached her limit.No one came down anymore, so she was going to go up by herself.Who would have thought that it was him who appeared, and he had lost his internal strength for her.

He nodded absent-mindedly, but his eyes were on Hua Qianyou who was held hostage by others.

He let go of the hand that was holding An Zixun's waist tightly, watching He Lianqing turn around and walk towards the kidnapped Hua Qianyou, she suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of loss.

As soon as her cold shoulders warmed up, she turned her head and met Helian Chunshui's concerned gaze, "Put this on first, the water in the pool is very cold." He took his cloak and tied it for her.

"Thank you Lord Hou."

Meeting by chance, it's really rare for him to help her like this!
On the other side, the man in black who held Hua Qianyou hostage kept Hua Qianyou as a hostage in front of him, and Helianqing's eyes flashed an inadvertent hostility.

"How do you want to let the king's wife go?"

"Just one thing." The man in black said with a pleasant voice.

"What do you want?"

"I'm afraid the prince won't give it."

"You let Madam go, as long as the king has it, you can take it."

"Then please speak further, my lord."

An Zixun suddenly raised her head and stared at the man in black. This was obviously her voice when she was pretending to be Jin Henbo, how could it come from someone else's mouth?

Taking a closer look, the figure, speech, and movements of the man in black are all similar to her. Who is it?Can you imitate her actions when she was dressed as Jin Henbo?But why are you pretending to be a fake South China Sea Dragon Young Master in the Prince's Mansion tonight?
He Lianqing approached as he said, and when he was only a few steps away, he was stopped and stopped. A smile appeared in the eyes of the man in black, and he moved his lips a few times.
-
Three Lives Gu!
He Lianqing's double pupils suddenly tightened, knowing that he had the Three Lives Gu, and the only thing he was eager to get, was that one person—Jin Henbo!
The quickness of his response made it too late to react, and even the other party didn't expect it.

"Prince Qing really loves his wife very much." The man smiled and looked at An Zixun with kind eyes.At the same time, He Lianqing, who was aware of this, had a smile in his pupils, and the cold smile on his lips was chilling.

In a short period of time, he scanned the people present, but he could not see the servant who was calling for help.

Something was wrong, he felt something was wrong before, it turned out that not only the assassin appeared tonight, but also the person who co-starred with the assassin inside and outside.

Distract everyone's attention to save people, and then take the opportunity to threaten him with Qianyou, predicting that he can't use Three Lives Gu to exchange her life.

"I will give you what you want, but how do you ensure Qianyou's safety?" He was always calm and self-possessed. When he saw Hua Qianyou in danger, he couldn't show his anxiety and worry on his face, so he didn't give the assassin any chance.

The man in black had expected that he would say that, and pressed Hua Qianyou in front of him, but quickly slapped her on the shoulder with one hand.

"My lord..." Caught off guard, her already delicate body was hit hard, and with a muffled sound, Hua Qianyou staggered towards Helianqing.

A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he flew forward to hug Hua Qianyou, but saw the original assassin suddenly disappear out of thin air. Just as everyone was surprised, another sword shadow flashed out from the dark, the sword light was cold, that The speed of the figure was astonishingly fast, and it moved forward close to Hua Qianyou's back, and the point of the sword pierced Helianqing's eyebrows.

What a powerful ninjutsu, instantly changing the body shape and position, taking the opponent by surprise and giving the opponent a lore blow!
"Be careful!" An Zixun suddenly stepped forward and reminded that He Lianqing has the Sansheng Gu on his body. Few people know, and he can't use the powerful and terrifying power of the Sansheng Gu under the watchful eyes of everyone, otherwise the secret will be leaked. , is of no use to him.In today's crisis, we can only see how he adapts to the situation.

She knew that He Lianqing was excellent in martial arts, but this assassin not only imitated lifelikely, but also used ninjutsu to the point of perfection, and it was by no means a simple background.

Unknowingly, He Lianqing had a thin and narrow three-foot green blade in his hand, facing the oncoming sharp blade, he flashed a cold light, and his eyes suddenly showed a trace of cruelty.

Turning around a few steps, the palms of the hands were as strong as iron tongs, pulling An Zixun tightly to the side to face the enemy together.

"Uncle Three Emperors, she has injuries, so she can't..." Helian Chunshui cried out worriedly from behind.

An Zixun smiled wryly, He Lianqing also thought that the assassin was Jin Henbo, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she would not be able to clean up.

He Lianqing whispered charmingly and nonchalantly, "Jin Henbo didn't care about anything because of you and hurt Qianyou. This king will let him know today what it means to lose your wife and lose your army."

The assassin used Hua Qianyou as a shield to restrain He Lianqing when he attacked. His movements were weird, his moves were as quick and agile as a snake, and he was so fierce that it was hard to tell the truth from reality.

He Lianqing greeted him with ease, he played completely without rules and casually, and his moves could defuse the opponent's fierce offensive in an instant.He only defends but does not attack. For dozens of rounds, neither of them can take advantage of the other.

Hua Qianyou was so frightened that she was speechless, seeing Helianqing weeping silently, and Lihua's weak appearance with rain on it, everyone felt pity for them.

An Zixun's wrist was so painful that it was He Lianqing's suppressed anger. On the outside, he seemed calm and self-possessed, he seemed to be indifferent to everything, and restrained his inner sharpness.Once the sharp blade is pulled out of the scabbard, how dazzling and sharp it will be.

"That's ninjutsu. If you just look at it with your eyes, the hallucinations will make your judgment wrong." An Zixun followed him for dozens of rounds in the shadow of swords, lights and swords, and said softly again.

"Can this king trust you?" Turning around lightly, he took An Zixun back to the side, and in the gap, he looked down at her, smiling faintly, the smile still not reaching his eyes.

How often did he trust her, take her by his side to fight the assassins, and use her, like Hua Qianyou, as his weapon to strike and restrain the opponent.

"Now my life is linked with the prince, and both will be prosperous and all will suffer." She raised her eyes, and a half-truth and half-fake smile flashed across her pupils, "To put it bluntly, I just don't want to die yet."

During the conversation, the assassin seemed to be aware of it, and the figure's sword moves were extremely ruthless, and he had the momentum to compete with He Lianqing.

"His sword moves are imaginary, you have to turn passive into active." An Zixun reminded.

"No, you can't hurt Qianyou at all!"

After dozens of rounds, she saw that the assassin was waiting for an opportunity to wear down Helianqing's patience, and the more Hua Qianyou was tortured, the more Helianqing would mess up.
