Realizing that Bai Qige was deliberately rushing towards Ruan Yanluo with the Cuihuang Sword, Yi Chenjing stood up suddenly and put one hand on the table for support. She passed quickly, but not in the direction of Bai Qige. Instead, she stopped three steps away from Bai Qige. .Just in front of Ji Sanqian.
He had already seen the fierce killing intent in Ji Sanqian's eyes at the moment Bai Qige rushed towards Ruan Yanluo.
Whether Ruan Yanluo was dead or alive, and what the reason for Bai Qige's assassination was, he didn't have time to think about it carefully. The moment he saw Ji Sanqian's figure fluttering, there was only one thought in his mind: to protect Bai Qige and prevent others from hurting her.
It was just an extremely brief moment. It was so short that Ruan Yanluo had no time to exclaim. And Yi Chenjing had no time to see clearly how Ji Sanqian moved. When his heart was suddenly seized by panic, the cold figure had already passed around like a ghost. He left only a gust of breeze to mess up his hair.
Obviously, Ji Sanqian's kung fu is higher than his. Even higher than Bai Qige's who only knows simple fists and kicks.
There was a crisp sound from behind. It was as sharp as the intersection of gold and iron. A wooden flute would never make such a sound. Yi Chenjing almost suffocated and turned around. At first sight, he saw Ji Sanqian's tall and thin back and the Half a foot of cold light in his hand. At the second glance, he saw another figure that was almost covered by Ji Sanqian. And Bai Qige was still behind that figure.
"If we really take action, we have to rely on the war court."
Vaguely, he remembered Bai Qige's joking words on the carriage. Now Yi Chenjing didn't feel how ridiculous or upsetting it was. Sure enough, at such a critical moment, the war court is still reliable, even when facing masters from foreign lands. He once transformed into "wine" "Yaksha", the confidant bodyguards who made the world change their expressions are still loyal and strong, protecting Bai Qige without any leakage.
Perhaps he agreed with the words "A man with great skills is brave". Zhan Ting was not at all flustered by Ji Sanqian's sudden attack. It seemed as if a vicious blow could be defused by just lifting his finger. Ji Sanqian, on the other hand, was short-sighted. Half of the palace guards were surprised and curious. The cold murderous intent in their eyes quickly receded.
"It's just that I didn't stop for a moment. The hilt of the sword won't hurt anyone. Guard Ji was too careful." The crisis passed. Bai Qige left the protection of Zhan Ting and raised her hand to Ji Sanqian. Only then did everyone see clearly. It turned out. Cuihuang Sword is mentioned among Bai Qi singers. Even if it stabs Ruan Yanluo, it will not hurt him.
Since she didn't intend to hurt anyone, what was Bai Qige doing? Because she was jealous and resentful, so she used this method to scare people to vent her anger. Princes, look at me and I look at you. They all looked confused.
Ruan Yanluo didn't seem to know how to do martial arts. The false alarm just now made her face turn pale. On the surface, she was still calm and calm. She raised her hand to ask Ji Sanqian to step back and then resumed her charming silky smile: "Princess Qi'an's Sword Dance The momentum is majestic. We can't tell who is superior and who is inferior because we are so strong and soft. Let's just call it a draw today. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn from each other in the future."
"No matter what time, Qi Ge will accompany you to the end." Ruan Yanluo said with a flat tone and no humility. Bai Qi Ge was not polite to her either. It seems that if you don't let me, I won't teach you to save face.
It is against common sense for soldiers to fight each other at a banquet. It is unknown how many hidden dangers will be buried if we continue to eat this meal. Several princes with a little bit of wisdom each found reasons to leave the banquet early. Yi Chenjing also used the excuse of being busy with political affairs to take Bai Qige first. Leaving. Ruan Yanluo was still worried about what happened just now. He wanted to compete again but lost his energy. He could only send him off with a forced smile.
After everyone left, Ji Sanqian approached Ruan Yanluo with a calm gaze. The look of unwillingness on his face was clear: "That woman dares to be disrespectful to you, princess. Can you find a chance..."
"Don't touch her yet. I'm very interested in her." Ruan Yanluo looked at the carriage going away downstairs through the window. Ruan Yanluo raised his chin slightly. "Previously I only heard that there was a legendary war concubine in the distant country. I thought she was a general. Kou Shuojin praised her. Although there was some surprise when we met last time, we didn't take it too seriously. Now I finally understand that I have always underestimated my enemy."
"Even so, what kind of trouble can she cause? The emperor of Yaoguo doesn't take her seriously. The person who contacted us doesn't want her to be stable. We don't need to take action, someone will take care of her. Can only one prince protect her for the rest of her life? ."
Ruan Yanluo disagreed with Ji Sanqian's views. He shrugged and leaned on the bed. The smile on his lips was unpredictable: "Don't you see that Prince Dayao is very affectionate towards her and does not hesitate to disobey Emperor Yao. That man didn't even raise his eyebrows when he saw me. I really don't know how indifferent he was. If he hadn't shown his persistent protection for Princess Qi'an, I almost thought he was so interested in Long Yang that he was no longer a womanizer." White fingers gently slid across the plump red lips. Ruan Yanluo squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling some delicious food: "Such a dedicated and gentle man. He can only be happy when he has it in his pocket."
In the not-too-distant street market, the wheels of the carriage kept turning. In the carriage, Prince Dayao, who was highly praised by the princess from a foreign land, had an uncertain face. He stared at his indifferent wife and pursed his lips.
"Okay. Don't show your face to me. Isn't it okay if I admit my mistake?" Bai Qige's serious expression was met with a sneer. She reached out and pinched Yi Chenjing's thin face. She tilted her head and leaned on her strong shoulder. "I didn't. What do you want to do to her? I'm just a little suspicious of the guard. Don't you think he is very similar to the assassin described by Miss Ou?"
According to what Ou Xueyu said, the person who committed the assassination last night was wearing black night clothes. He was tall and thin. His eyes were cold and ruthless. He held a dagger with a special shape in his hand. Bai Qige had no impression of Ji Sanqian before. Profound. He didn't notice it until he picked up the flute just now. This imposing and indifferent guard was taller than ordinary Zhongzhou people and had a very thin figure. Somehow, he had the idea of testing him. So he came up with it. It looks like a reckless act of venting jealousy.
Of course, all the hard work was not in vain. When Ji Sanqian pulled out a snake-shaped dagger from his sleeve in desperation, Bai Qige was basically sure that he was the person who broke into the palace and assassinated Ou Xueyu last night.
"The country of Yanhu really has ulterior motives. I don't know what the purpose of Princess Yanluo's arrangement is. She should have nothing to do with whether Miss Ou or I will become the crown princess. This assassination scene is really inexplicable." Bai Qige was leaning against Yi Chenjing's shoulder. Suddenly, Yi Chenjing dodged away. Her head sank and she almost hit the car window. Just when she was about to raise her head to question, her whole body was rolled into Yi Chenjing's arms and pressed tightly together. On both legs.
"You can do whatever you want, but don't take your own life as a joke. If Zhan Ting hadn't been there just now, you would have been injured by the guard named Ji. Don't you have any self-awareness?"
The face that looked down was full of anger. Bai Qige subconsciously argued hard: "Isn't there nothing wrong..."
"It's too late if something goes wrong." Yi Chenjing, who was holding back her anger, finally broke out regardless of whether the war court outside would hear it. "How many times have I told you not to take risks and do stupid things. How many times have you promised to end well? I've made a mistake again. Can you take what I said to your heart and make me worry less? Can you stop messing around?"
I can't remember how long it has been since Yi Chenjing was so angry. Bai Qige's temperament has always been something that no one can blame. But this time she honestly stopped refuting and listened quietly to Yi Chenjing's anger.
She knows her own shortcomings very well. She usually looks calm and collected. When her temper rises, she is more impulsive and reckless than anyone else. In the past, it was because she lived alone that life and death didn't matter. But now she has a family and Yi Chenjing. She doesn't cherish it so much anymore. Her own life cannot be justified. However, it is easy for a country to change its nature and hard to change. It is not so easy to resist a habit when things are happening. Just when she heard the sound of clothes breaking in the wind behind her, she already regretted it. She felt sorry for underestimating Ji. Three thousand strength. He also worried about Yi Chenjing because he failed to think carefully and put himself in danger.
Gently stroking her angry face, Bai Qige said seriously and sincerely, "I'm sorry. I'll change it."
"Can you change your stubborn temper?" Yi Chenjing was still reluctant.
"...Do you insist that I argue with you?" Bai Qige raised her eyebrows with a pinch on her face.
In fact, Yi Chenjing lost his temper when Bai Qige apologized. At this moment, he was just pretending to be angry. Normally, Bai Qige would try to coax him when he was angry. It was rare that the two of them exchanged positions. A word of apology was enough to make all his grievances disappear. But he was not pretending. She always felt disadvantaged by pretending. She rubbed her hot and painful cheek. Yi Chenjing reluctantly let go of Bai Qige: "You can't be gentler. You are still justified if you make a mistake."
"Let you pretend." Bai Qige laughed and got angry. The force on her hand became stronger and stronger. She didn't let go until red marks appeared on Yi Chenjing's face.
"We are angry enough and let's get down to business." Yi Chenjing grabbed Bai Qige's wrist and put it in his palm. Yi Chenjing regained her composure. "I didn't notice it at first. When you rushed towards Princess Yanluo, I almost thought you were jealous and retaliating. But now we can’t say for sure that the assassination of Xiao Yu was done by Yan Hu’s guard. Xiao Yu’s description is not very detailed. And he can’t find the reason why Yan Hu did this. It’s better to wait and see.”
"Of course you have to be more cautious. Envoys from other countries are no better than ordinary people. Any slightest discrepancy will cause disputes between the two countries." Bai Qige nodded and pondered for a moment. Then she frowned again. "Should I tell the emperor about this? I'm worried that the emperor will also doubt me. "
Although Yi Chenjing was biased against Yaohuang, he answered firmly: "Father has always made a distinction between public and private affairs. He will not fail to see such an obvious frame-up. And no one has any evidence that it is you who is plotting against Xiaoyu. Don't worry."
Only when you are relieved can you have ghosts. Bai Qige sighed almost inaudibly. She leaned on Yi Chenjing's shoulder again and closed her eyes. It was probably because she was too tired from the tossing just now. She felt like she was sleeping and had been taking a nap for an unknown amount of time. She was suddenly caught. The sudden stop of the carriage jolted me awake.
"What's going on?" Yi Chenjing seemed to have just woken up from the haze. He raised the curtain and asked Zhan Ting.
Zhan Ting didn't answer. It should be said that he couldn't answer. As soon as he arrived at the main entrance of the palace, he was surrounded by a group of imperial guards who were fighting each other with swords. Anyone else would be confused and stunned.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Yi Chenjing hurriedly stepped out of the carriage. He frowned and stood in front of Zhan Ting: "It's me. I just came back from the palace to do some business. Is there any problem?"
"I know that the car belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince." The captain who led the team bowed and handed over his hand with a respectful look on his face. "I stopped the car not because of Your Highness, but to fight the guards. Please don't take it seriously."
Looking at the confused Zhan Ting, Yi Chenjing clenched her fists silently and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with the guard Zhan?"
The captain also secretly glanced at Zhan Ting and lowered his head.
"The Emperor has an order. He ordered his subordinates to wait here for His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage to arrest the suspects and guards who attacked Miss O."
