The icy snowflakes began to fall heavier and heavier, and silently, the huge and glorious Tenglong Kingdom was suddenly shrouded in the thick white snow, brilliant, but also quiet.
Xun Palace...
"Crack!" A sharp sound of breaking glass woke up the silence.
"I'm so angry. Who is that Bai Ke'er? How dare you let someone of this palace suffer such a severe punishment? I will never spare her!"
Concubine Xun angrily shook her gold-encrusted sleeves and walked back and forth in front of the bed angrily, her beautifully and delicately made-up face burning with blazing anger.
Seeing this, Wan'er, who was lying on the bed, reluctantly propped up her injured body, and weakly advised: "Ahem, cough, cough... Madam, please calm down. If I ruin your golden body because of this little injury, I will die."
You can’t apologize, and besides, the king sent someone to send the slave back, which shows that the king still values you, the queen..."
Hearing this, Concubine Xun's face became even more ugly, and she screamed a little out of control: "Don't forget that it was that bitch who asked the king to do this. That bitch really had some tricks up his sleeve and deliberately pretended to be kind in front of the king.
, do you think you can win the king’s favor with just this skill? Don’t even think about it!”
Concubine Xun almost burst out words from between her teeth, her white fingers clenched tightly into her palms with anger, and her red nails almost dug into her palms.
As she said that, she opened her eyelids as if she had made some determination, and her pupils were stained with sharp coldness. Then she said: "Wan'er, don't worry, your slap will not be in vain. I will definitely let that person
Bitch bitch, come back tenfold!”
"Thank you, empress..." Wan'er looked at Concubine Xun gratefully, her eyes filled with incomparable devotion to her master.
At this moment, an old and serious voice came from outside the door: "Xun'er."
Then came a middle-aged man with slightly white temples and a bright official uniform. His gray goatee was meticulously trimmed, and he exuded a meticulous style.
Concubine Xun turned around when she heard the sound, her face lit up when she saw the person coming, and she immediately went to greet him: "Dad, you are here!"
At the same time, Wan'er, who was half lying on the bed, nervously stood up and said weakly: "Wan'er, please come and see Mr. Lin."
The person who came was none other than Concubine Xun’s father, Lin Miaoshi.
Regarding his daughter's enthusiasm, Lin Miaoshi reprimanded him with a cold face: "Xun'er, why did you make the king unhappy? Didn't dad ask you to serve the king carefully? You must know that in the harem you can climb up to what you are now.
How difficult this position is!"
Hearing this, Concubine Xun's mood immediately cooled down, and she complained aggrievedly: "Dad, it's not my daughter who made the king angry, it's the king who has a new love, so he is so cold towards his daughter!"
"You're still lying. Just now in the imperial study, the king asked me to discipline you in front of all the ministers. If the king just likes the new and hates the old, how could he ask me to educate you in front of everyone? Tell me, are you instructing Wan?
You hurt Wang Xin’s favorite woman?!”
Seeing that her father already knew the truth, Concubine Xun lowered her head slightly without daring to reply, but she was unwilling to act coquettishly and begged her father for help: "Dad, you must help your daughter. If her status is not guaranteed, then she will not be able to do anything for her in the future.
Dad, you have brought more glory and wealth..."
Listening to her words, Lin Miaoshi pondered thoughtfully for a moment, and then said slowly and thoughtfully: "Okay, okay, please don't be reckless about this for now and let dad think about it carefully."
"Xun'er knew that Daddy would find a way!"
At this moment, Concubine Xun felt as if she had taken a tranquilizer pill, and the fighting spirit shone on her pretty face.
…
In the imperial medical hall, the imperial doctor was taking Ke'er's pulse with a solemn expression.
During the process, no one made a sound, everything was quiet...
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the silence.
"Mr. Fu..." Ao Chenye arrived before anyone else arrived.
Doctor Fu just finished taking the pulse and put down Ke'er's hand.
He quickly came forward to greet him: "King."
Ao Chenye waved his hand: "Excuse me, how is she doing? Is she injured?"
His dark eyes were faintly beating with eagerness, which was very vague and difficult to see clearly.
Dr. Fu replied——
"This girl is just weak and can't bear the shock for a while, so she fainted. I will prescribe a dose of tranquilizing medicine for her and she will be fine."
Ao Chenye immediately ordered calmly: "Go and prescribe medicine immediately."
"Yes. I will go and prescribe medicine right now."
Feeling that Wang's attitude seemed a little different from usual and a little anxious, Dr. Fu did not dare to delay and quickly left to prepare the prescription.
In the room, only Ao Chenye and the unconscious Ke'er were left.
He walked over to her and sat down on the edge of her bed.
Looking at her slightly pale face, the blood color was very light.
His eyebrows twisted slightly.
His long fingers caressed her cheek, touching her cool skin, and his brows furrowed a little more.
"Damn it, Doctor Fu, don't you know how to cover her with more quilts?"
He whispered displeasedly, and at the same time, he quickly and gently pulled the thick quilt over her to cover her.
He was willing to give up only after carefully arranging the quilt to prevent even a breath of wind from getting in.
After looking at her for a while, Ming Ming's deliberately lowered voice came from outside the door——
"king."
Ao Chenye glanced sideways, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Then, he turned his head again and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Wake up quickly, I won't allow you to sleep like this for too long, do you understand?"
His voice was soft, like a feather brushing against her cochlea.
However, she was still asleep without any reaction.
Ao Chenye stood up and walked out quietly.
outside the door.
Tomorrow and Mingyue are waiting in the side hall outside.
Ao Chenye sat down and asked seriously: "What happened? Where did that assassin come from? Tell me every detail of the situation."
Tomorrow answered truthfully: "My subordinates heard the young lady's cry for help and rushed over immediately... Later, the assassin was subdued by us, and the young lady seemed to recognize the assassin... The assassin vomited blood and fell unconscious for no reason... This is the situation."
After listening to tomorrow's narration, Ao Chenye's handsome face was covered with frost.
"Ke'er recognizes the assassin?" He murmured in a low voice, frowning as he thought about something.
It's strange. This little woman must have been with him since she entered this space. How could she know other people here?
As he pondered, his lowered black eyes were filled with confusion.
After a moment, he decided to put aside the puzzle for the time being, raised his eyes, and asked succinctly: "Did the jailor get anything out of the assassin's mouth?"
"Not yet, the assassin has been unconscious."
Ao Chenye pursed his thin lips and ordered: "Let the imperial doctor go over and wake him up."
"yes."
Immediately afterwards, Ao Chenye looked at them seriously as if he had thought of something——
"From now on, you will serve Ke'er. Remember, you must protect her!"
At the end of his speech, his tone was very serious, and his eyes were unmistakably sharp.
Tomorrow and Mingyue were stunned for a moment.
They are female guards who have gone through rigorous training and were prepared for the future queen of Tenglong Kingdom. Now the king actually mobilizes them to protect an ordinary woman who has only been in the palace for a few days. This...
Even though they felt a little surprised, they were well-trained and still took orders respectfully without changing their expressions.
