Chapter 197 Tzuyu, I'm Back
"I roughly checked and found that two of the prince's secret guards were injured, and the others died here." Ai Cao said, "What should we do with these two?"
"In order to avoid making the prince suspicious, we can't kill them all." Ruan Ningxiang said, "I also have to pretend to be injured."
Ruan Ningxiang was afraid that she still couldn't go out, so she had to pretend that she was seriously injured.
She picked up a knife and pointed it at her chest. Ai Cao screamed in surprise and didn't have time to stop it.
He stared blankly at Ruan Ningxiang's chest. His clothes were torn and there was no blood coming from the tip of the knife.
Ruan Ningxiang threw the knife on the ground casually, "It's just a show, it's fake."
Under her clothes, she was wearing the soft gold armor that Chu Yu gave her.
Ai Cao helped Ruan Ningxiang get into the carriage and went back to the nearby camp where she was stationed. She found Uncle Fu and asked him to bandage her up under the pretense of doing so.
When Shen Lichuan heard that General Ruan was injured, he left the rest to Mr. Meng and rode back in a hurry.
Ruan Ningxiang was caught in the rain, her complexion was extremely poor, and there was no trace of blood on her lips.
Shen Lichuan looked Ruan Ningxiang up and down. Ruan Ningxiang was lying on the quilt. He couldn't see where he was injured, so he became even more worried, "You are injured. Where is it? Is it serious?"
Ruan Ningxiang felt a little guilty, "It's okay, it's not serious. Uncle Fu has already helped bandage it."
"Let me take a look." Shen Lichuan was still worried and reached out to lift the quilt.
Ruan Ningxiang pressed the quilt and said with some embarrassment: "This is inconvenient."
Shen Lichuan stretched out his hand and slowly retracted it, "Then you take good care of yourself."
Shen Lichuan came out from her place and found Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu told him that the county owner had been injured above the chest and avoided the most dangerous knife, but he had to rest for a while.
It rained all day and all night, the river surged, and countless corpses were wrapped in it.
Shen Lichuan asked Ruan Ningxiang to rest in peace and recuperate. He escorted the leader of the Tianyu Kingdom and attacked the capital of the Tianyu Kingdom.
Ruan Ningxiang was caught in the rain, caught wind and cold, and was indeed ill. She took Fu Bo's medicinal diet every day to nourish her body.
Shen Lichuan handled matters in Tianyu Capital very quickly.
The Lord of Tianyu had countless wives, but not many sons. It is said that many of them died on the battlefield.
Shen Lichuan controlled an older, sickly man who looked a bit useless and became the new leader of the country.
He also took the Lord of Tianyu and the two princesses of the Lord of Tianyu back to the capital and became hostages.
The only thing that didn't go well was that Qin Sheng, who was being secretly guarded, suddenly fell ill and died.
There must be some manipulation by the prince here, and the prince kills people and silences them.
Shen Lichuan and Ruan Ningxiang wanted to bring down the prince, but an important witness was missing.
We can only slowly look for evidence in the future.
When Shen Lichuan wrote the victory report, he gave the main credit to Ruan Ningxiang.
After receiving the good news, the emperor who was far away in the capital was obviously much more energetic.
Directly ordered them to return to Beijing in triumph.
Some people are happy and some are worried. The prince, who always thought he had a good plan, suffered setbacks one after another.
He sent so many people from the secret guard camp, but after a battle, only two people survived. Is it a coincidence or someone behind the scenes?
The recruitment has ended a long time ago. How should we arrange our own people in northern Xinjiang now?
The Crown Princess had just given birth to a daughter not long ago, and she was a little plump. Seeing the sad look on the Crown Prince's face, she approached and said, "Tianyu has been harassing our Northern Xinjiang for decades. Now that Northern Xinjiang is captured, this is Good thing."
The prince was a little impatient, "Good thing? As the Shen family grows bigger, I'm afraid your position as the crown princess will no longer be available in the near future."
The Crown Princess was not angry, she said softly: "If you don't want him to grow bigger, then divide his military power and use it for yourself."
"How to divide it?"
"What happened this time shows that the bandit girl must have some abilities. Since General Shen gave her the credit for this time, why don't we win her over as one of our own."
"Oh?" The prince looked over seriously, "How do I win over you?"
"The simplest way is to marry." The Crown Princess suggested softly, "Now the eleventh prince has not yet accepted his concubine, and the two are of the same age."
When the Crown Princess clicked, the Prince understood clearly, took the Crown Princess's hand and squeezed it gently, "Wan'er is right."
A huge group of people traveled for more than a month, and it was August before they returned to the capital after a long absence.
There were constant cheers in the capital. Ruan Ningxiang did not want to be the focus of everyone. Ruan Ningxiang said that she was recovering from her injuries. Shen Lichuan and Shen Lichuan rode in a carriage on the road and passed through the long Wangjing Street.
In the crowd, someone shouted: "Luo Bai."
Ai Cao, who was driving the carriage next to Ruan Ningxiang, heard the sound and looked over and saw Miss Liu in the crowd.
Why did she come to the capital again?
Wormwood passed her by.
Liu Wanting heard the news about Northern Xinjiang and rushed to the capital. She didn't expect to meet this man.
At the entrance of the palace, the emperor and hundreds of officials came to greet him personally.
Chu Yu, wearing a crimson official uniform, followed many princes and stood behind the emperor.
He craned his neck like a long-awaited new wife, looking at the family member who was getting closer and closer to him.
Two and a half years later, Ah Xiang, in his own way, not only returned from northern Xinjiang, but also came back openly and openly, and was personally welcomed by the emperor. What an honor.
Ruan Ningxiang knelt down and joined the emperor. The emperor personally helped her up, "She is injured, so there is no need to be too formal."
Ruan Ningxiang immediately saw the figure she was running towards with all her heart.
The eyes of the two people collided in a hurry, sparks flew, and they spoke a thousand words, which were quickly withdrawn.
The leader of the Tianyu Kingdom and the two hostages were taken down.
The emperor personally entertained him warmly, and the courtiers celebrated.
Ruan Ningxiang said she was hurt and declined politely. She only drank two glasses of wine as the emperor and the prince proposed.
After she was slightly tipsy, the emperor called her to the side hall alone and met Ruan Ningxiang alone.
Ruan Ningxiang knelt on the cold ground. No matter how many whiteheads the emperor had, or how clumsy his tongue was when speaking, she still felt a little nervous due to the low air pressure lingering around her.
"Keep your head up."
Ruan Ningxiang raised her head, revealing an oval face as big as a palm, with bright black eyes. She did not dare to look directly at the emperor, and could only judge the emotions from her tone of voice.
The emperor said: "If you go to war without an imperial edict, do you know what your crime is?"
Ruan Ningxiang shook her small body tremblingly, as if she was surprised, and looked over boldly, "Didn't the prince ask us to go on an expedition?"
"Prince?
"Yes, last autumn, we received an edict from the crown prince, saying that the Tianyu people had been defeated in a series of battles, and told us to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and capture Tianyu. The edict should be with General Shen."
Ruan Ningxiang and Shen Lichuan exchanged their words and insisted that it was the prince who ordered them to enter the palace.
The emperor's brows tightened and he waved his hand to tell her to leave first.
Ruan Ningxiang came back from the palace and took a long-awaited hot bath.
The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open and closed again.
The shadow falling on the screen paused slightly.
Another slender figure slowly walked around the screen, and their eyes met again.
Chapter completed!
