"No, there's a fire in the back camp!" A voice came from somewhere, and no one expected the panic that followed. King Xiang didn't speak. Huangfulin who was standing by looked at the suddenly chaotic camp, frowned, and shouted: "Why don't you go put out the fire first!"
"General Huangfu, please be patient." King Xiang said calmly, but what he was looking at was the figure walking not far away. Under the light of fireworks, the sky and earth seemed to be daytime, solitary and proud. Apart from her, Prince Xiang couldn't think of anyone else who could cause such a big disaster and still feel so relaxed and content.
"His Royal Highness King Xiang, General Huangfu." Fang Zilan walked up to the two of them unhurriedly, bowed her hands, "I just saw fireworks in the back camp, and thought that now that the Jin man has retired, Your Highness is safe. It is really worth celebrating." . I was happy and let two of them go. Unexpectedly, they accidentally set the tent on fire. Please be punished by Your Highness."
Hearing that King Xiang had not yet spoken, Huangfulin was so angry that he jumped up and down, "How dare you, a little guard, to talk nonsense in front of His Highness? There are more than two fireworks in the sky? You have done meritorious service by protecting King Xiang in the daytime." , How dare you set fire to the camp and disturb the morale of the army. Whoever comes, drag me down and kill him!" As soon as Huangfulin finished speaking, soldiers stepped forward and held Fang Zilan away.
"Wait!" It was King Xiang who spoke. He glanced at Fang Zilan, who was unmoved in front of him, and then turned to Huangfulin beside him, "General Huangfu, please calm down. This is the first time for my guard to go on an expedition with me. He doesn't understand anything. I hope General Huangfu won’t be the same as her.”
"Since His Highness has spoken, let's drag him down and hit him with the Thirty Army Staff!" Huangfulin said quickly when he saw King Xiang protecting him. However, Fang Zilan was still secretly annoyed. After all, it was a Thirty Army Staff. How could he? Are you obsessed?
Fortunately, I couldn't feel the pain, and thirty military staffs wasn't a big deal. It was just that it felt uncomfortable to be carried back after being unable to move. More importantly, who was going to give me the medicine?
Just when Fang Zilan politely rejected the military doctor's kindness to help her apply the medicine himself, and was thinking about where to find a girl, she saw Prince Xiang walking into her tent and sitting in front of her without any hesitation. I also followed a young military doctor.
Fang Zilan secretly cursed, King Xiang really didn't regard himself as an outsider. She was seriously injured and could not move. Although she did not stand up to say hello, she still clasped her fists politely and said, "I just thanked His Highness Prince Xiang for interceding for me."
"The fireworks you set off are quite good, they are very beautiful." Prince Xiang suddenly said this, which made her stunned. Ignoring her reaction, Prince Xiang continued speaking, "Set off fireworks and burn the camp, the method of diverting attention is quite clever. This is enough time for you to send the message. Tell me, who are you? Sent?"
It's true to divert attention, but to send a message? Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Why should I send a message?" "Tell your master that I am still alive." King Xiang looked a little colder, "I am very curious. Everyone in the capital wants to kill me. Yes Who still wants this palace to survive? What on earth do you want to do?"
Prince Xiang changed his name. Fang Zilan knew very well that he would only be so wary, so he thought about it and spoke again, "It is true that I want His Highness Prince Xiang to survive, and it is true that I am entrusted by others, but I have no master." , It’s not just one person who wants His Highness Prince Xiang to inherit the throne, that’s all.”
"Sounding what you said, what did you do during that time?" This time it was not Prince Xiang who asked Fang Zilan, but the little military doctor next to him.
Fang Zilan raised her head and glanced at the young military doctor, then looked at Prince Xiang who was sitting next to him, and sighed helplessly, "I have difficulty moving at the moment. Please help me bring the things in the box next to the bed to His Highness Prince Xiang. "
As soon as these words came out, the young military doctor immediately blushed, "You..." "How do I know that my sister is a girl?" Seeing the young military doctor stuttering, Fang Zilan actually laughed out loud, raised his chin frivolously, and said deliberately to tease : "Sister, help me give the things to His Highness Prince Xiang, and I will tell my sister."
"You bastard!" The little military doctor was so angry that he stamped his feet. On the other hand, because it was difficult to have a seizure in the presence of King Xiang, he had to open the bedside box as Fang Zilan said, only to see a celadon jar neatly placed inside.
"What is this?" Prince Xiang reached out and took the jar handed over by the young military doctor, his expression changing slightly. "His Royal Highness King Xiang must have guessed it." Fang Zilan smiled and looked a little more solemn, "They are the ashes of those subordinates who died during the day."
"Brother Yan?" The little military doctor suddenly called out, his eyes a little red. It seems that the people here have a close relationship with this young lady. Fang Zilan looked at the rude little military doctor and sighed that she had finally done something good, and the thirty military sticks were not in vain.
However, Prince Xiang still looked calm. He didn't know if he was satisfied with the answer? Fang Zilan thought about it and asked involuntarily: "Is there anything else you want to ask, Your Highness?"
Unexpectedly, Prince Xiang did not speak. Instead, he stood up and placed the jar beside her bed. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, miss." Fang Zilan was suddenly startled when she saw this. Such a serious thank you? Although I had heard earlier that King Xiang was good at buying people's hearts, his sincere look now seemed to be more than just buying people's hearts.
"I misunderstood the girl with my many speculations just now, and I hope you can forgive me." Prince Xiang thanked him and then apologized respectfully, which made Fang Zilan feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he was the dignified Prince Xiang, and she really didn't expect that he was so flexible and flexible. He could only wave his hands and said: "It's just a small effort. His Highness Prince Xiang's subordinates are all loyal, and I don't want to see them die in such an unclear manner, with their bones buried in the yellow sand. I only ask that His Highness Prince Xiang be kind enough to give them their ashes." It’s enough to send him back to his hometown.”
"I will do it even if you don't have to ask me," King Xiang said. He held the jar with both hands in a respectful manner. The look in his eyes was indescribably deep. It seemed to be ambition but more like determination. Fang Zilan didn't have time to think about it carefully when she heard King Xiang order the young military doctor to help her apply medicine, and then left in a hurry.
The young military doctor on the side wiped his eyes and sat next to her. "His Royal Highness Prince Xiang was here just now, so I couldn't speak." The young military doctor said, with a bit of sobs in his voice, "Yan'er is deeply grateful to the girl for her kindness."
"What kind of kindness is it? I just can't see it. Sister, don't take it to heart, it's just..." Fang Zilan wanted to ask something, but didn't know how to say it. When he was hesitating, a young military doctor named Yan'er But he took the initiative to speak, "The attendant beside His Highness Prince Xiang is my unmarried husband and also His Highness's cousin."
"His Royal Highness Prince Xiang's cousin?" Fang Zilan looked shocked. His Royal Highness Prince Xiang's mother-in-law was also from an aristocratic family, so his cousin should be a young master from an aristocratic family. How could he be a little valet beside him?
"I know what you are thinking, girl." Yan'er saw her doubts at a glance and explained: "His Royal Highness's mother-in-law is from the Xiahou family, but the Xiahou family has a special status as a general and in order to avoid the suspicion of their relatives taking power, Therefore, he has been guarding the southeastern border and has long ceased to serve as an official in the court. It’s just that the head of the family was worried about His Highness, so he sent someone to protect him personally, namely Brother Yan. "
Xia Houyan? Fang Zilan frowned slightly. She seemed to have heard this name before, but when did she hear it?
"I was just an orphan adopted by the Xiahou family. I learned some medical skills under the protection of the Xiahou family, and was engaged to brother Yan. I wanted to wait until His Highness Prince Xiang came to the throne, and then return to the Xiahou family with brother Yan to get married. Who would have thought that such a change would happen... ..." Yan'er's eyes turned red again as she spoke, and Fang Zilan didn't know how to comfort her. She could only sigh that things are impermanent and no one can be alone in troubled times.
"Then what are Miss Yan'er's plans for the future?" Fang Zilan asked tentatively, Yan'er just shook her head, "I will heal your injury later, and then go to His Highness Prince Xiang to ask for brother Yan, and I will send him to him personally. Go back to Xiahou's house." "What happens after?" "What happens after?" Yan'er was stunned by her question, "Of course I will guard Brother Yan."
Guard? This time Fang Zilan was stunned. What did you mean by guarding? It seems that this girl Yan'er is not much older than her. She won't stay for a lifetime just for a marriage contract, right? Although she thought so, Fang Zilan didn't ask in the end. After all, she really couldn't talk much about other people's private matters.
Miss Yan'er was clever and quick to deal with the wound. She also carefully told Fang Zilan not to move around these days and what she needed to pay attention to in all aspects, and then left.
For the next few days, Fang Zilan could only lie on the bed. Every day, Miss Yan'er came to bring her food and medicine, and the days were relatively peaceful.
"Girl, it's been several days and you still refuse to tell me your name. I want to set up a sign for my benefactor when I go back." That day, while changing Fang Zilan's dressing, Miss Yan'er chatted with her for a few words and then Now comes the name issue that gives her a headache.
At first, Fang Zilan thought that it would be okay to tell her her real name, but then she thought that if Miss Yan'er told Prince Xiang, Prince Xiang would definitely get to the bottom of it, which would be troublesome to put it bluntly. After all, she is now using the identity of a killer, and her intuition tells her that she cannot have anything to do with anyone. At the moment, she just hopes to quickly send His Royal Highness Prince Xiang back to Beijing and complete this mission.
"Girl?" Seeing that Fang Zilan didn't respond, Yan'er couldn't help but call her again. She smiled apologetically, "Miss Yan'er, please don't embarrass me."
"That's right, people with abilities like you all hide their secrets." Yan'er didn't ask further, "But there are not many people as powerful as the girl, even if they were placed in Xiahou's family. "
"The Xiahou family?" Fang Zilan repeated softly, and Yan'er smiled and nodded, with an expression of indescribable pride on her face, "The Xiahou family came from a military background, and they are all very powerful."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan just smiled. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he heard a commotion outside the tent, and the voice said that His Highness Prince Xiang was preparing to return.
