Chapter 46 Five Batches of Assassins
"Okay." Xia Xiaoxiao replied softly.If he didn't say anything, he would naturally have his own thoughts, and she believed that Shi Yan would not harm her.

At Sishi, the son of King Yan walked out of the palace, and this time the morning court lasted for two full hours.

Xia Qianyao, dressed in black and with black hair, is tall and straight, with no expression on her handsome face.Ministers passing by whispered, King Yan seems to be dying, the son is young, Princess Ronghua is missing again, and all officials know that Princess Ronghua can only stay in Nuanyu Pavilion in winter, otherwise she will die. Worrying.In such a world of ice and snow, she has never returned to Nuanyu Pavilion, and she must have passed away. It seems that the lineage of King Yan has begun to decline.

Xia Qianyao raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and swept her sharp eyes over, the minister fell silent.Xiao Zhuozi, the little eunuch who had been serving him all the time, shouted dissatisfiedly: "My lord." When the prince was not sick, and when the princess was still in Shengjing, which minister dared to say something disrespectful to the palace.

Xia Qianyao seemed to have never heard of it. The ministers fought fiercely this morning, but they failed to choose a general to fight against the Huns.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who had always been by his father's side to flatter and flatter him, made an admonition at this time: the tiger father has no dogs, so the son of King Yan will go to fight in his father's place.

All the ministers were shocked, the only descendants of King Yan were Yu Shizi and Princess Ronghua, and now Princess Ronghua is missing, the Great Xia Dynasty has already entered winter, and the snow is long, everyone knows that Princess Ronghua is in danger.The minister was regretful but also thankful, now, the position of Crown Princess is unknown, it seems that everyone has a chance.

Xia Qianyao watched the attitudes of the ministers and Emperor Xia Wen with cold eyes. The once proud son of heaven had grown up at this time, his father had fallen, and the burden of the Yan Palace had fallen on him.

He changed his gentle, easy-going and casual attitude, and became cold and blunt. He directly threatened Emperor Xia Wen that he would not go out to fight. The country, the country, there is a country before a family, but he only has a home in his heart.People who can't even protect their families can talk about protecting their country.

Emperor Xia Wen had no choice but to be blocked by these words.At this time, the fourth prince, who had been silent for a long time, volunteered to fight against the Xiongnu.Emperor Xia Wen only said one word: accurate.

Outside the palace, Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper of King Yan's Mansion, looked anxious, pacing around the carriage from time to time, the prince has been in for so long, why hasn't he come out yet?Seeing Shi Zi's figure, the old man had a smile on his wrinkled face: "Shi Zi."

What is Uncle Zhong doing here?Could it be the father?Xia Qianyao didn't dare to think too much, hurriedly went up to meet him, and held the old man's hand: "Uncle Zhong."

With tears in his eyes, the old man glanced around, and then said softly, "My lord, Fang Fei is back."

Xia Qianyao was secretly happy, Fang Fei came back, did that sister come back too?

When they returned to the hall of the palace, Princess Ronghua was never seen, only her personal maid Fang Fei was kneeling in the hall.Seeing Xia Qianyao walking in, her delicate face was filled with shame: "My lord, this servant did not protect the princess well."

"Get up first." With Fang Fei's appearance, she might be seriously injured.Since Fang Fei was still alive, it was possible that her sister was also alive.

"Slaves dare not." Fang Fei bowed her head, her mission was to protect the princess, but now, she didn't even know where the princess was.

"Fang Fei, you'd better get up first, you can't find the princess, everyone is sad." The old loyal uncle went to help Fang Fei to a chair and sat down. .

"Can you tell me what happened that day?" Xia Qianyao didn't know what happened to her sister, so she left home suddenly.

"Yes, my son. After the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Rites proposed to marry the fourth prince, the princess has been unhappy. That day, the princess said that she wanted to go out to relax, so she took the slaves and Shunzi out. When passing by the Jingxin Temple, the princess I want to devote myself to the Buddha. Master Jingxin made a fortune to the princess, saying that neither the fourth prince nor His Royal Highness the prince is destined for the princess, and the princess wants to find someone who is destined, so he must go south."

"Then what happened to you?" It turned out that the person my younger sister likes is the fourth prince, but he and his father always thought that my younger sister liked the prince.

"The princess and we encountered five groups of assassins on the way. The first three groups seemed to be ordinary assassins who only wanted to capture the princess alive. The last two groups were like dead soldiers. They were all recruiting to take people's lives. Falling off the cliff, Princess Shunzi fled."

"Where is the princess, where did Shunzi go?" Xia Qianyao only felt that she had seen a glimmer of hope again. It was very possible that her sister was fine.

A few snowflakes floated in outside the house, and Xia Qianyao's face turned pale for a moment, and the joyful mood just now dimmed again. Even if she escaped the disaster at the beginning, the weather like this, I'm afraid...

"Go down and rest first." Xia Qianyao's voice was exhausted, five batches of assassins, how could there be five batches.He thought of those people one by one in his mind, the emperor would never let his sister die anyway, so he was one of them.Who are those two people who are going to kill their sister?He couldn't think of it, and felt that no one had such a motive.It seems that many people have such motives, after all, the position of the crown princess is very attractive.

"Uncle Zhong, let's go see King Father." Xia Qianyao thought it was better to tell King Yan about this.

In Qing'an residence, King Yan was still lying quietly on the bed. When he heard footsteps coming in, he opened his dim eyes: "Is it Qian Yao?"

"Father, it's me." Xia Qianyao held back the tears that were about to fall. The former father still had a glimmer of hope, but after seeing the heavy snow that day, he was completely desperate.

"Has your sister come back?" Yan Wang eagerly grabbed his son's hand and asked how his daughter was doing. The weather was getting colder and colder, and he would never come back if he smiled slightly.

"I'm back, my sister is back, and I'm resting in Nuanyu Pavilion now." Xia Qianyao nodded to King Yan, so maybe King Yan would feel better.As for the assassin, let's not talk about it.

"Yes, my lord, the princess is back." Uncle Zhong on the side also said.He watched the prince grow up, but he brought up the prince and princess.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." King Yan nodded in relief, "Qian Yao, you go and tell Xiao Xiao that the father will visit her later."

"Father, my sister went to bed after eating, you better not disturb her." Xia Qianyao could only find such an excuse to prevaricate King Yan.If the father finds out that he has cheated him and the smile hasn't returned, maybe he really can't hold on anymore.

"Okay, then the father has taken good care of his health before going to see him, otherwise he should joke that the father is not handsome enough." Yan Wang thought of the scene where his daughter acted like a baby to him before, and the corners of his mouth twitched with warmth.

Xia Qianyao didn't leave Qing'anju until King Yan fell asleep, and before stepping into her warm water pavilion, the personal eunuch Xiao Zhuozi came over with a small note in his hand: "My son, Fang Fei is gone!" .”

Xia Qianyao opened it and saw that it read: Your Majesty, the slaves will definitely bring the princess back.
