The emperor's southern tour was very grand. On the day of departure, the Eighth Prince's carriage followed Yinzhi's carriage. Only then did Wan Yue know that the Eighth Prince had really brought Nian Siyan with him.
With company on the road, Wanyue didn't feel lonely. In addition, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a while, and it was rare for them to tour the south together. After arriving at the inn, Wanyue simply asked Nian Siyan to sit with her.
A carriage.
As soon as the two met, they chatted endlessly.
After Wanyue introduced the new ladies in the house one by one, Nian Siyan also told all about the women in the backyard of the Eighth Prince's house.
After the two of them chatted attentively, the sunset had already set in the west, and the remaining light of the sun had slowly dissipated.
When Yinqi and the Eighth Prince saw the two of them chatting so congenially, they didn't want to disturb them at first, but they were both hungry and had to wait for them to eat together.
Yinqi couldn't bear it. After all, this wilderness was no better than his palace where there were always snacks to eat, and the things prepared by the servants were limited.
"Eighth brother, let me go over and ask them to have a meal together. I'm really hungry." Yinqi raised his eyes and glanced at the eighth prince.
"That's alright." The Eighth Prince saw that Yinqi couldn't bear it any longer, so he nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll go over first."
The Eighth Prince nodded.
Yinqi quickly walked to the carriage where Wanyue was sitting and knocked on the window.
Wanyue opened the car curtain, looked at Yinqi, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Have you two come over to have a meal together?" Yinqi pointed to the food parked not far ahead.
Wanyue looked in the direction of Yinqi's finger, and sure enough she saw that food had been placed there.
Wanyue turned to look at Nian Siyan in the carriage, smiled and said, "Siyan, let's go have a meal together."
Nian Siyan nodded.
The two got off the carriage and walked forward while talking.
"What are you two talking about? You are talking so happily." Yinqi joked with a smile.
Hearing this, Wanyue covered her mouth and smiled, then glanced at Yinqi and replied with a smile: "Does the prince also want to listen to us if we talk about my daughter's family?"
Yinqi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "How can I listen to what you girls are saying! You continue to talk about yourselves."
Wanyue and Nian Siyan pursed their lips and smiled, ignoring him.
Yinqi shook his head innocently, and walked straight to the food over there, regardless of whether they paid attention to him or not.
The four of them sat down in a circle near the food and started eating.
Yinqi had a good appetite and ate a lot, while Wanyue and Nian Siyan were calm and leisurely. The Eighth Prince was also neither impatient nor impatient, which made Yinqi really anxious.
After finally eating, Yinqi said: "Bard brother, after we arrive in Jiangnan, we must take some time to go shopping!"
"Of course it's no problem." The Eighth Prince nodded.
Wanyue and Nian Siyan looked at the two of them and smiled at each other.
Not long after the meal, the southern patrol team started on their way again.
It wasn't until the sky got dark that everyone stopped to rest.
The night breeze blows, making it cool and pleasant.
Yinqi was in the tent, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Wanyue had already played chess with Siyan in her tent last year. Yinqi was bored, so he had to go out of the tent and walk around alone.
Except for the sound of patrolling guards walking around, there was silence around the camp.
Yinqi walked to an empty place and raised his head. The moon had risen, and the bright moonlight filled the whole world. Yinqi raised his head and sighed at the beauty of the moonlight.
"There is an assassin!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Yinqi, which startled Yinqi.
He quickly turned around and saw two assassins running towards the emperor's tent.
Yinqi was startled and chased after him.
He ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was outside the emperor's tent, but the two masked men in black had already rushed in, and the guards at the entrance of the tent were nowhere to be found.
Seeing this, Yinqi couldn't care less and quickly opened the curtain and entered.
As soon as they stepped forward, they saw that the two assassins' knives were already swinging at the emperor. Eunuch Liang, who was beside the emperor, rushed towards the emperor in panic, blocking the emperor firmly behind him.
The two assassins missed a single blow and attacked the emperor and Eunuch Liang respectively.
Seeing this, Yinqi quickly took out the dagger from his waist and quickly joined the battle.
Although his martial arts skills were not very strong, he still attacked the two assassins from behind, so he quickly assassinated one assassin in the back.
The assassin who was stabbed then turned his eyes behind him, endured the severe pain and swung at Yiqi. Before Yiqi could dodge, he only felt a scratch on the left side of his head.
As soon as the guards who dared to come in a hurry entered the tent, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. One of the guards took a knife and slashed at the assassin who had scratched Yinqi. Seeing this, the other guards rushed up and joined him.
The assassins fought together.
Yinqi covered the bleeding head on the left side. He didn't know what to do for a while. He watched several other guards surrounding the assassin, but he could only watch and couldn't help at all.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming! Come to the rescue quickly!" Eunuch Liang shouted loudly.
Soon, the two assassins were subdued. At this moment, an unknown guard exclaimed: "Fifth Prince, you are injured!"
Only then did everyone notice that there was bright red blood coming out of Yinqi's head, and they couldn't help but become worried.
"The fifth prince is injured, call the doctor quickly!"
The emperor had recovered, looked at Yinzhi worriedly, and shouted: "Please call the accompanying medical officer over quickly!"
One of the guards quickly exited the camp and hurried to the medical officer's camp.
"Fifth Prince! Fifth Prince!" Eunuch Liang shouted worriedly, "Don't let anything happen to you!"
The emperor looked at the blood on Yinqi's body, his eyes darkened, and he felt a little sad. How could he explain to Concubine Yi that Yinqi was injured when he returned.
But soon, the medical officer arrived at the camp.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" the medical officer accompanying the Imperial Hospital asked hurriedly as soon as he arrived at the camp.
The emperor shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Please check with the Fifth Prince first."
When the medical officer heard this, he quickly glanced at the fifth prince who was covering his head with his left hand, only to find that his hands were full of blood. The medical officer was really startled, and quickly checked Yinqi, and then stood up and said to the emperor.
: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The fifth prince is not seriously injured. He just has a flesh wound. I will prescribe some ointment and apply it on it and it will be fine."
Hearing this, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, go and prescribe the medicine."
"Yes!" the medical officer agreed and quickly walked out of the tent.
At this moment, Wanyue, who was playing chess with Nian Siyan in the Eighth Prince's tent, heard that an assassin broke into the emperor's tent, and Yinqi was injured as a result. As soon as Wanyue heard this, she felt shuddering all over.
When she returned to her and Yinqi's tent, Yinqi was already waiting for her in the tent. Wanyue already felt extremely distressed. In her previous life, Yinqi suffered an accidental injury to her face when she followed the emperor on an expedition to Galdan.
There is a shallow scar left on the eyebrow.
Wanyue thought that Galdan in this life had already passed away, and that there was no need for Yinqi to be injured, and there would be no scars on his face. Unexpectedly, in this life, she would meet someone who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty on their way to the south.
