"No need, the Duke of the State has already agreed with me on this matter, so there is no need for you to bother me." Ye Chenfeng, who refused coldly, turned around and left.
Qiao Xinyue was stunned, and after regaining consciousness, she couldn't help shouting, "Your Majesty!"
But Ye Chen ignored him! Naturally, he didn’t look back, but——
His ears twitched slightly, but at this moment, he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the wind!
"There's an ambush!"
The shaking night wind suddenly jumped up! It had already reached the roof beside the alley.
An arrow shot through the air, and he accurately grasped it in his hand!
Not only that, after condensing his energy, he threw the arrow back with a "whoosh" in the air.
"laugh!"
The sword shot out of the air quickly and flew away! It plunged directly into the third floor of a nearby teahouse, and someone inside fell down at the sound.
"Whizzing……"
Several secret guards of the palace immediately flew into the air, got into the elegant room, and took out the crossbowman who had been killed by an arrow.
After careful inspection, Guan Feng immediately reported, "My lord, the arrows used in the attack on you in the Prime Minister's Mansion are exactly the same! The poison on the arrows is also the same! They should be from the same group of people."
"I'm afraid he's still the same person." Ye Chenfeng glanced at the other party's body coldly, "I'm pretty sure, but I followed the wrong person. Take him back and ask for an autopsy."
Guan Feng immediately arranged for a secret guard to take the body back first. He then asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to check around to see if there may be any accomplices of this thief?"
"Investigate! You immediately go to the military camp and call in a scout army to conduct a thorough investigation!" Ye Chenfeng, who was cunning, planned to stir up this matter.
There is no reason for me to cover myself up after being attacked! As a hero who has just returned victoriously, he was assassinated in the capital. This matter is not over yet.
at the same time--
Qiao Xinyue, who had already been escorted into the carriage by the guards of the mansion, was still replaying the scene just now in her mind. She was shocked and frightened, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
"Miss, are you okay? You are so reckless!"
Looking around at Grandma Chen, she felt her heart still hurt a little.
That moment just now almost scared her old heart to pieces! It was so thrilling.
Qiao Xinyue couldn't help but asked: "If I read it correctly, the arrow was originally aimed at me, right? Your Majesty..."
"Don't be stupid! If you die here, the Duke will definitely blame the prince, not for you!" Grandma Chen finally understood that this regent is a cold-hearted person!
The young lady deigned to condescend to please him, but she didn't get a good face. This happened! She didn't even come to express her condolences.
Nanny Chen suddenly regretted her advice and said, "Miss, please listen to Nanny's advice. The regent's heart is too hard. Don't worry about him."
"No! Mammy, you are wrong. He must be doing it for me. People like him are the most cold-hearted and hot-hearted. It is difficult to get into his heart. But look at the one in Xiang Mei's house! She won't succeed
She can do it, and so can I!" Qiao Xinyue was extremely determined.
"What a sin." Grandma Chen didn't know how to persuade her. She could only hope that the young lady would really get what she wanted.
…
In the palace, when Mei Wen'er heard about this, it was already when Ye Chenfeng led his troops to block the streets and alleys.
It was not reported by Yunzhong, but the news was brought by the emperor who came to visit the Empress Dowager.
"Is Xiaojiu okay?" the Queen Mother asked in shock.
The emperor immediately said: "It's okay. We are leading troops to search for the thieves' accomplices. I have ordered people to go and tell my ninth brother to investigate thoroughly! Don't worry.
Ninth Brother is so brave and invincible, who can do anything to defeat him? Those who go for the assassination are all too short-lived. But I heard that the third lady from the Duke Protector's residence was there at that time, and she seemed to have blocked Ninth Brother's arrow?"
"What else happened?! How about Xinyue? Is she okay?" The Empress Dowager really didn't expect that this child was so devoted to Xiaojiu that he was willing to protect her with his life.
When Mei Wen'er heard the news, she couldn't sit still, "Emperor Grandma, why don't I go take a look! Don't delay the treatment."
"Okay, you go, you go, Chong Li and Nannan are being watched by the Ai family, so don't worry, go and have a look." The Empress Dowager agreed repeatedly.
Mei Wen'er said goodbye to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. After leaving the palace, she told Yun Gu again before leaving the palace with Yun Zhong.
But before she reached her destination, she bumped into Ye Chenfeng who was about to enter the palace...
Ye Chenfeng asked in astonishment, "Why are you here? Didn't someone summon you?"
"Am I not allowed to ask you?" Mei Wen'er asked angrily, "The third lady of the Duke's Mansion blocked the sword for you. I am not allowed to come out to see if you need treatment?"
The confused Ye Chenfeng frowned, "Who arranged it? It doesn't happen!"
"Really?" Mei Wen'er asked with a slight frown, "Then was she present at the time?"
"That's true, but blocking arrows is really a lie." Ye Chenfeng vaguely noticed something was wrong, "Guan Feng, go check and see if this is still being spread!"
"Yes!" Guan Feng took the order and left.
Mei Wen'er asked, "What did you think of?"
"It's a little strange. Let's wait until Guan Feng's investigation is completed. Let's go to the palace first. How about the Imperial Grandmother?"
"Much better, but after all, I was ill and I have to recover slowly."
"Who told you this news? But my royal brother."
"Yes." Mei Wen'er nodded, "Does the prince think it was him who sent the news?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, but what does he want?" Ye Chenfeng didn't understand for a moment.
Mei Wen'er pursed her lips slightly, "Is there a possibility that he wants to drive a wedge between you and the Protector?"
"When the arrow was shot at Qiao Xinyue, I did have this idea, so I stopped it. But everyone was fine, so what's the use of spreading these words?" Ye Chenfeng frowned and thought.
Mei Wen'er didn't bother, but she vaguely guessed the emperor's intention. In fact -
When she and Ye Chenfeng returned to Wutong Palace, the Empress Dowager's words confirmed her thoughts.
At this time, the emperor was no longer around, so the Empress Dowager simply said, "Xiaojiu, Xinyue is a pretty good kid, and she is also very passionate about you. If the Ai family is in charge, you can bring her into the house, and wenwen."
It would be nice to serve you together."
The Empress Dowager felt that this was the best arrangement. The girls were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect each other, so the royal family couldn't help but express it!
And her words made Mei Wen'er, who was already silent, become even more silent. She suddenly felt like the dust had settled!
She speculated that this might be an effort by the original book plot to get back to the "right direction", so——
Is Qiao Xinyue the one who replaced Mei Wenhua? The real heroine will be Qiao Xinyue from now on?
only……
At this time, Ye Chenfeng had already said, "Grandma Huang, don't talk nonsense. Qiao Xinyue is absolutely fine. She came here to apologize. The arrow was also aimed at her. It was me who saved her."
"That's also a beautiful story of a hero saving a beauty! That child Xinyue is a real lady. If you run away with Wen'er again in the future, she can help you take care of the backyard and educate Chongli and Nannan." The Queen Mother thought.
