After combing her hair and coming out, Qu Qing Ju saw He Heng sitting on the couch reading a book. She unhesitatingly sat down next to him: "Wang ye, an assassination attempt is such a big matter. Shouldn't we tell mufei and let her know that you are fine so that mufei won't worry?"
He Heng nodded: "You are the most thoughtful," Finishing, he called Qian Chang Xin over and took out his waist token. He had him enter the palace to see Jing guifei and explain the whole story. He also had to emphasize that his wounds weren't serious.
Qian Chang Xin accepted the order and hurried out of the manor. It wasn't just that it was already late, but even if the palace had already set the key, he still had to think of a way to enter the palace to pass on the news.
The soldiers guarding the city gates recognized Qian Chang Xin as Duan Wang's taijian and let him pass without asking. By now, the news of Duan Wang's assassination attempt had spread throughout Jing City. They saw Qian Chang Xin's hurried state and didn't dare to stop him.
Entering the palace gates, Qian Chang Xin sprinted all the way to Zhong Jing Palace. Before he could state his purpose, he was led in by the servants of Zhong Jing Palace. When he entered the room, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Jing guifei's expression. He obediently knelt on the ground and said: "Guifei niangniang, His Highness has sent nucai to greet niangniang."
"How are wang ye's wounds?" Jing guifei's tone was more serious than usual but she didn't lose her status. Only Ding mama, who was standing next to her, saw that niangniang's hand gripped the armrest was slightly white. It could be seen how worried niangniang was.
"The dean of the Imperial Hospital has already seen. His Highness isn't seriously injured, just a few scrapes. Wang ye and wang fei were afraid that niangniang would be worried after hearing false rumors and had nucai come personally to explain. " After saying that, he recounted the whole story without adding any details.
After Jing guifei heard the truth, she had calmed down a lot. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before raising her head to say to Qian Chang Xin: "Go back and tell your Highness to recover in the manor these few days. Send more people to the manor to protect your wang ye and wang fei." Finishing, she stood and rubbed her cheek. She slightly raised her chin and announced, "Ben gong is going to Tian Qi Palace to request an audience with the Emperor."
Shu gui fei was not the only one who knew how to use the ruse of self-injury. She, Wei Chan Yi, also knew how to use it. Furthermore, she knew how to use it even better and without leaving any traces.
Reaching out to take out a few hairpins from her hair, it caused the finely combed hair to become fluffy. Jing guifei took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of her eyes. Suddenly, she staggered and stumbled towards the outer room. She sorrowfully shouted: "Your Majesty, our child … …" As she ran, a few strands of hair fell down her cheeks, making her look even more sorrowful.
Ding Mama hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, then hastily followed her while sobbing. "Niang niang, niang niang, watch your step." As soon as she finished speaking, she had already disappeared from the inner room.
Qian Chang Xin looked with reverence at the empty door. A beat later, he climbed up from the ground. When he walked out of the inner room, he saw palace maids and taijian who were either covering their faces as they sobbed or had worried expressions. In that instant, he felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement.
In the end, no one knew what Jing guifei said when she went to Tian Qi Palace, but that night, Qing De Emperor sent down multiple imperial decrees. The Junior Official of the Judicial Office, the Minister of Justice, the Commander of the Imperial Guard all received the decree. The meaning was that they had to capture the mastermind of the assassin at all costs. It was enough to show how angry the Emperor was about this matter.
Other than that, Qing De Emperor also bestowed all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, gold, silver and jewels. There were also many bodyguards with strong martial arts and taiyi skilled in treating all kinds of wounds. This night, the gates of Jing City opened and closed, closed and opened again. An endless stream of rewards were sent from the palace on horseback to Fu Lang Manor where Duan Wang was recovering.
A young soldier guarding the gate looked at the fast horse that disappeared into the night and sighed emotionally: "The Emperor treats His Highness Duan Wang so well."
An older soldier at the side sneered: "Other than Rui Wang, Duan Wang is the most favoured by the Emperor. Look at the last assassination attempt on Cheng Wang, was the Emperor this worried?" Those who didn't know would have thought that Duan Wang and Cheng Wang's wounds had been swapped.
It could be seen that when a person reincarnated, they didn't just have to choose a father, they also had to choose a mother. Otherwise, why would there be such a difference in treatment?
"You don't want to live, is wang ye's matters something you can speak of?" Commander Sun happened to pass by on his horse. Hearing this conversation, his face darkened as he ordered, "Why aren't you closing the city gates!"
The two of them were so scared that their complexion changed. Immediately, they obediently closed the city gate with the others. As a result, not long after, they saw a few people coming over on horseback with bright yellow tokens in their hands. They immediately understood that they were going out of the palace to Fu Lang Manor.
There were several boxes wrapped in bright yellow cloth on the backs of these horses. Although the gatekeeper did not know what was inside, his expression was somewhat numb. How many horses had passed by?
Qu Qing Ju covered up a yawn. Looking at the piles of rewards in front of her, she turned to look at He Heng who was sitting lazily. She smiled and asked: "The Emperor is really concerned about wang ye. How many waves of rewards has this been?"
He Heng glanced at Qu Qing Ju with a smile that wasn't a smile. He Heng flipped a page of the book in his hand, "It'll be fine by tomorrow. At that time, we'll have a good sleep. I don't have to go to court so I can keep you company."
This kind of slightly disdainful tone wasn't giving her face. Qu Qing Ju blinked: "Doesn't wang ye need to rest?"
"Ben wang was frightened and needs the mountains and rivers to calm his heart," He Heng smiled as he closed the book. He looked at Qu Qing Ju and said, "Qing Ju has to keep me company. Otherwise, I'll be scared by being alone."
Qu Qing Ju tugged at the corner of her mouth to make her smile brighter: "Wang ye, don't be afraid. I'll keep you company."
He Heng smiled and replied: "Qing Ju is so good."
Standing in the corner, Ming He and the others lowered their heads. Wang ye and wang fei's flirting skills were getting better and better. As servants, they had to pretend they didn't hear and control their expressions. It was very hard.
"The Imperial Decree has arrived!"
The two exchanged a look and calmly patted away the non-existent dust on their bodies. They knelt down in the middle of the room and listened to the taiyi announce the rewards. Then the uninjured Qu Qing Ju took the Imperial Decree and kowtowed in thanks for the Emperor's grace. She watched as the taijian brought in the items and then watched as the taijian hurriedly left.
Casually opening a box, Qu Qing Ju's eyes narrowed. Hundred year old blood ginseng, that was a rare item. She tilted her head to look at He Heng but the other didn't even look at the contents of the box.
Closing the box, Qu Qing Ju said: "Why don't wang ye go to sleep first. I can keep watch here."
"It's just a small wound, you don't have to be so worried," He Heng smiled helplessly. He knew the other was worried about his wound. He reassured, "It's already past the second watch, there shouldn't be any more rewards." Finishing, he used his uninjured right hand to pull the other to sit next to him.
Qu Qing Ju sat down and sighed: "If the mastermind is caught, they have to be severely punished."
"Don't worry, someone will be punished," He Heng gripped her hand and reassured, "In a few days, Cheng Wang may come to the estate. Get someone to prepare a residence."
"Si shu?" Qu Qing Ju paused and then smiled, "That's true. Soaking in the hot springs is good for si shu's muscles and bones."
"En," He Heng kissed her cheek, "My Qing Ju is so smart."
Qu Qing Ju raised an eyebrow: "Is wang ye coaxing a child?"
He Heng laughed lightly. In the end, his shoulder was bitten by Qu Qing Ju. The result was that he laughed even more happily.
Qu Qing Ju buried her head in the other's chest. She gave a yawn and rubbed against him before closing her eyes.
Seeing the person in his arms fall asleep like that, He Heng smiled helplessly. Just now, didn't she say that she was going to sleep first? Why did she fall asleep first?
Thinking about how the person in his arms had run in with her hair disheveled, He Heng's heart itched. Even though she hadn't put on any makeup and her hair was disheveled, but in his eyes, she had been extremely beautiful in that moment.
He Heng lightly tapped her moist lips with his finger. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and even his eyes were tinged with a smile.
The morning of the second day, the court was a mess because of the assassination attempt on Duan Wang. Before, the matter of the imperial envoy being assassinated hadn't been investigated. Now, Duan Wang had been assassinated. Luckily, the Imperial Guards had been patrolling that area. If Commander Sun hadn't taken people to that area, who knew how much chaos would have occurred.
Qing De Emperor was even more furious. He ordered the Imperial Guards, the Ministry of Justice, and the Supreme Court to work together to find the culprit. He even said at court that if they couldn't investigate the matter of Duan Wang being assassinated, the leaders of those three places should quit their jobs.
The only imperial son who was still at court, He Qi, was puzzled. Was it lao san who had done this?
Commander Sun rejoiced at this time. Luckily, a few days ago, he had heard that there had been several robberies outside the city and decided to patrol yesterday. Who knew that he had coincidentally saved Duan Wang. This was a blessing from the heavens.
However, who was the one that had reported to him that there had been several robberies outside the city? He remembered that the little soldier's appearance was slightly normal. At this time, he couldn't remember what he looked like. He might be a commander, but there were several thousand people in the Imperial Guards. How could he recognize all of them?
When he really couldn't remember the person, Commander Sun gave up. This was just a coincidence. The heavens were helping him. Otherwise, if Duan Wang had been assassinated while he was the commander of the Imperial Guards, he wouldn't have been able to keep the hat on his head, and his head would have fallen along with it.
In Cheng Wang Fu, He Ming finished listening to the servant's report on er ge being assassinated. He muttered to himself for a beat before ordering: "Prepare a congratulatory gift for Duan Wang. Maybe in two days, ben wang will go to Fu Lang Manor to accompany er ge to recover."
As expected, that afternoon, Fu Lang Manor sent someone to Cheng Wang Fu. They said that Fu Lang Manor had beautiful mountains and clear waters, and that the taiyi there was skilled. They hoped that His Highness Cheng Wang would go to Fu Lang Manor to soak in the hot springs for a few days. At the same time, they would let the taiyi take a look at his wounds.
