Xiao Jue looked at the black-armored guard in front of him in shock, almost in disbelief: "You dare to attack me? Do you know who I am?"
The black-armored guard said coldly: "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to step into the palace today."
Xiao Jue was so angry that he almost went crazy.
Just now, these black-armored guards dared to push him when he entered the door.
Xiao Jue is the legitimate son, and he has been the prince since he was sensible. He has been honored since he was a child, and has never been slighted by anyone.
When he committed treason, even though he suffered a lot in the imperial mausoleum, no one disrespected him because of Xiao Yao's secret care.
But now, a little black-armored guard actually dared to touch him.
Xiao Jue stared at these black-armored guards and said coldly: "Do you think that Lou Yan can protect you all your life?"
The black-armored guards who stayed here were all Lou Yan's cronies. Hearing him address Lou Yan like this, his eyes became colder.
Xiao Jue didn't believe in evil and pointed at them: "I really want to enter this palace today. Let's see who dares to stop me."
Having said that, he raised his feet and walked inside.
However, before his feet could cross the threshold, he was thrown out by someone's arms and hit the ground heavily.
Just now, these black-armored guards held back their hands, but after Xiao Jue said those words, these black-armored guards not only did not hold back, but secretly started to commit evil acts.
Just the throw and the scratch on Xiao Jue's arm were enough to make Xiao Jue drink a pot.
Xiao Jue lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. The people around him were also stunned, and for a moment they even forgot to step forward to help him.
Until Xiao Jue took a breath and cursed: "Someone, give it to me..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the black-armored guard shout loudly: "There are assassins."
After saying that, they swarmed up, surrounded Xiao Jue, and trampled Xiao Jue several times with their hands and feet, so that Xiao Jue's shouts were stepped back before he could even speak out.
The people brought by Xiao Jue gathered around the outer circle, but they didn't squeeze in. Some of them were even tricked by the black-armored guards.
The black-armored guards surrounded Xiao Jue and beat him up. When they felt that they were done, they slowly returned to their original position, then half-squinted their eyes, as if nothing had happened just now.
Xiao Jue's mouth and nose were bleeding at this time, and he lay on the ground for a long time without moving. The servants Xiao Jue brought were frightened and went crazy, and rushed forward to help Xiao Jue up.
They stretched out their hands to detect Xiao Jue's breathing. After confirming that Xiao Jue was still alive, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was a chaos of war.
"Come here, hurry, hurry, send the eldest prince back quickly, go to the imperial hospital to ask for the imperial doctor, go quickly..."
These people no longer dared to struggle at the gate of the palace, so they hugged Xiao Jue and ran away.
The tranquility of the past has returned to the entrance of the palace, and there is no trace of a murder that just occurred here.
In the palace, when Xiao Yao learned what happened outside, his expression was extremely complicated for a moment.
He felt that Qin Zhen was too courageous and there was nothing she dared not do.
But it seems that every time, she can control this and prevent Xiao Chengye from punishing her.
Xiao Yao finally understood that Qin Zhen was basically a man-eating flower.
But Xiao Jue didn't have a long memory and had to rush forward to deliver rations to Qin Zhen.
———
Early the next morning, Xiao Yao was woken up, and then he was forced to dress up in front of the mirror.
After finishing dressing up, Xiao Yao looked thinner than before, his face was pale without any blood, and he seemed to be hanging with only one breath left.
Xiao Yao looked at the person in the mirror quietly for a while, and couldn't help but ask the person who dressed him: "Is this all what your princess ordered?"
"Yes," the man whispered, "the princess said that if she is going to bring her to the palace to see your majesty later, she must have a good appearance, so she specially ordered the servants to come and tidy up for your majesty."
"By the way, the princess also said that your highness should talk less, cough more, and don't feel faint if nothing happens. After all, you are not in good health after recovering from a serious illness."
Xiao Yao: "..."
Xiao Yao couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, and said: "Okay, I understand."
When he walked out of the house, he looked like he would collapse in the wind.
Qin Zhen had packed up and was waiting for him at the door. When she heard the noise, she turned around, swept her eyes up and down, and then smiled: "Not bad."
Xiao Yao smiled: "I can't let all your hard work go to waste."
The two of them left the palace and got on the carriage going to the palace. Around the carriage, hundreds of black-armored guards were clearing the way. Even if Xiao Jue wanted to stop him, he probably couldn't.
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace. When getting off the carriage, Xiao Yao could clearly feel a few eyes on him. However, following Qin Zhen, Xiao Yao felt confident.
Sure enough, until entering the palace, everything was peaceful and nothing happened.
Qin Zhen seemed to know what he was thinking, and said as she walked: "Don't worry, Xiao Jue can't touch me no matter how long he stretches his hand."
Xiao Yao: "I know."
Otherwise, he would not have come to Qin Zhen for help.
Just because he knew that only Qin Zhen could protect him.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of Qinzheng Palace. Gao Cheng saw Xiao Yao and his eyes widened in shock: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, why are you here? Are you healed?"
Xiao Yao tried his best to hold his lips and said weakly: "It's a long story."
Qin Zhen, who was on the side, said: "Eunuch Gao, please report to your father quickly and tell us that we have important matters."
When Gao Cheng saw the two of them like this, he didn't dare to delay and immediately went in to report.
Not long after, someone came inside to deliver a message.
After the two of them entered, Xiao Chengye raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and finally his eyes fell on Xiao Yao: "What's going on?"
These two people came too early today. They arrived almost as soon as the palace door opened.
It's not strange for Qin Zhen to come here, but it's strange for Xiao Yao to appear here.
His son had been ill for a long time and was said to be bedridden. He suddenly appeared today, still with Qin Zhen... This was strange no matter how you thought about it.
Xiao Yao pursed his lips and knelt down in front of Xiao Chengye with a plop: "Father, father, help me!"
Xiao Chengye stood up suddenly and said in shock: "What's going on?"
Xiao Yao knelt on the ground, his face pale, and he seemed speechless.
Qin Zhen, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and then said to Xiao Chengye: "Father, yesterday afternoon, the fourth brother suddenly staggered to the palace with the fourth prince and concubine, saying that someone was chasing him and asked me for protection.
"
"When I saw my fourth brother, I was frightened on the spot." Qin Zhen said with some fear, "How could a good-looking person look like this after not seeing him for a while?"
Xiao Chengye looked at Xiao Yao, his eyes a little heavy: "Didn't Xiao Jue say that he took good care of you? How on earth did those gang of people in Taiyuan Hospital take care of you!"
