Chapter 476 Appreciating plums in the imperial garden, meeting an assassin?
The red plums brought back from Tianxia College yesterday are now placed in the vase, blooming beautifully.
Princess Wantao followed Chu Yunxi's line of sight and suddenly felt happy.
"It's so beautiful. The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden bloomed early this year."
"The plum blossoms in this vase were not picked from the imperial garden, but were brought to light by Xiao Lian."
Chu Yunxi teased.
Xiaolian hurriedly explained.
"There is also Si Qi and He Xiang. We will fold them together."
Si Qi corrected him.
"Actually, Wen Yang broke it and gave it to Aunt Xiaolian, who then gave it to us."
Xiaolian secretly tugged on Si Qi's sleeve.
"That's because I stood closest to him and he took care of me."
Chu Yunxi and Si Qi both looked at her and nodded silently, understanding.
"The Queen, the Eighth Princess, and my servants will go explore the way for you first."
Xiaolian lowered her head and ran away. Princess Wantao hadn't figured out the situation yet.
"Who is Wen Yang?"
"I'm full, Wantao, let's go enjoy the plum blossoms."
Chu Yunxi quickly pulled Princess Wantao to change the subject. After all, Princess Wantao was not old enough to have hairpins, so it was not suitable for children.
Si Qi quickly picked up her cloak and followed.
"Mother, be careful of catching a cold."
When they arrived at Meiyuan, Xiaolian was already waiting for them.
"Your Majesty, Princess, look, such a large area of plum blossoms is much more lively than a solitary tree."
Chu Yunxi and Princess Wantao took a deep breath and smelled the elegant fragrance of plum blossoms with the coolness of the winter air. Their faces were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.
They walked into the plum garden, wearing exquisite embroidered shoes, lifting the hem of their cloaks and skirts, and stepped on the snow, leaving a series of footprints.
Chu Yunxi reached out and picked out the best blooming flower, which was dazzlingly red, blew off the snowflakes on it, and pinned it in Princess Wantao's hair.
“So beautiful.”
Princess Wantao smiled happily, picked one too, and put it on Chu Yunxi.
"The imperial sister-in-law is more beautiful."
After she finished speaking, she ran forward a few steps with a smile, feeling the joy of freedom.
Chu Yunxi remembered that Princess Wantao was innocent and innocent in the past, but she had many constraints and had no choice but to do so. She had never been as sincere and happy as she is now.
In fact, seeing Princess Wantao running happily, she also wanted to run, but unfortunately, she could only think about it.
Beside her, Xiaolian and Si Qi followed her step by step.
But the more this happened, the more playful Chu Yunxi became. She observed it for a while, found the most luxuriant plum blossom tree, pointed to one on the branch, and called Princess Wantao over.
"Wantao, look at this flower. Is it different from other flowers?"
As expected, Princess Wantao came over to take a look.
"It seems like there's no difference?"
"How come there isn't? Come closer and take a look?"
After hearing what Chu Yunxi said, Princess Wantao obediently walked forward and observed the plum blossom carefully.
Chu Yunxi was behind her, suppressing laughter, and quietly pulled down the branch above Princess Wantao's head. The moment she turned back, her slender hands relaxed.
"ah!"
Princess Wantao was caught off guard and was hit by the falling snow.
Laughter like silver bells instantly echoed in the plum garden. Chu Yunxi’s master and servant were already laughing together.
"Sister-in-law! It's not fair. You bully me because you have my little nephew in your belly and you can't fight back."
Princess Wantao was half annoyed that she had been fooled, and half acting coquettishly, pretending to be angry.
Chu Yunxi had no choice but to apologize:
"Then when your nephew comes out, how about allowing you to bully him and vent your anger?"
Princess Wantao was smiling again. In fact, she had never played so wantonly in her entire life.
I have to act like a princess at all times, which makes me feel happy.
"This is what the emperor's sister-in-law said. When the time comes, don't protect her."
They were having fun when Wu You and Wu Lu suddenly appeared in front of them in a protective posture, with tense expressions.
Chu Yunxi's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Princess Wantao to his side. Then he heard the Royal Forest Army shouting.
"Catch the assassin! Protect the Queen and the Eighth Princess!"
Then I saw several black shadows passing by one by one from a short distance away.
The next moment, Chu Yunxi fell into a warm embrace.
"Go after the assassin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wu You and Wu Lu then chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared just now.
Jun Lingyun held Chu Yunxi tightly. In this case, catching the assassin was far less important than ensuring Chu Yunxi's safety.
"Ling Yun?" "Brother Huang?"
The accident happened in an instant, and neither Chu Yunxi nor Princess Wantao had come to their senses. Why did Jun Lingyun come so fast?
Jun Lingyun was lucky. He found out that assassins had entered the palace and rushed to where Chu Yunxi was as soon as possible.
The assassin's purpose and how he entered the palace can all be investigated later.
But if Chu Yunxi makes any mistakes, they cannot be made up for.
"Let's go to the nearest palace for shelter first."
Chu Yunxi and Princess Wantao saw Jun Lingyun's cold expression, so they didn't ask any more questions and just followed quietly.
Xiaolian and Si Qi also looked around nervously from time to time.
Who knows who could be able to break into the heavily guarded palace.
Fortunately, they entered the palace safely all the way. Jun Lingyun did not leave them. When it came to Chu Yunxi's personal safety, he was not worried even if it was left to his most trusted Bai Xiao.
What's more, Bai Xiao is not here now.
Although Bai Xiao can walk around, his butt still hurts after standing for a long time.
But suddenly I felt the breath of two people outside the door, and they were so familiar.
Bai Xiao frowned and subconsciously picked up his sword. The moment the door opened, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the person coming.
"You are so brave, how dare you break into our Royal Palace of Yunxiao Kingdom in broad daylight!"
At this time, the guards were all on guard in each palace, not in the dormitories. Just now, most of them were lured away by another wave of intruders.
There was no one in the guard's dormitory.
After all, who would have thought that someone would risk their lives to sneak into the palace, mobilize troops, and attack in the east and west, just to find a guard?
"We are here to take you away. Come with us, you don't belong here at all!"
A clear voice sounded, and Bai Xiao looked at the wolf girl in front of him with a cold expression.
"Where I belong is not up to you, and I am not the person you are looking for."
"You are, you must be. No one knows that piece of music except you and me. Since you didn't learn it from others, you must be the one I'm looking for."
Bai Xiao's heart moved slightly, but he remembered Jun Lingyun's words, how do you know that she is not your enemy, and she is not acting to deceive you?
Bai Xiao instantly strengthened his mind.
"You made a wrong calculation. I let you go once, and I won't let you go a second time."
"Wait, I want to show you something."
The wolf girl said, taking a few steps forward until she stood in front of the tip of Bai Xiao's sword.
The shadow guard who saw her tensed up, fearing that if Bai Xiao sent away the tip of his sword, his little master would lose his life in vain.
It also made Bai Xiao frown once again.
Why is this wolf girl always like this, doing unexpected things?
Bai Xiao didn't expect that something even more unexpected was still behind him!
