The carriage turned left and entered the tree-lined road near Prince Xian's Mansion, when suddenly a cold arrow was shot from a tree.
In one moment, thousands of arrows were fired.
The carriage was shot like a hedgehog.
Fortunately, the carriages Linglong rode in were all enlarged and thickened. The arrows were nailed to the body of the carriage and could not penetrate into the carriage.
The driver driving the carriage outside used his body to protect the carriage door, while Chanjuan and Ying'er used their bodies to cover the windows. Xiumei covered Linglong with her body. Everyone's hard work can ensure that Linglong is safe.
Linglong held on to Chanjuan and Ying'er to prevent them from taking risks. The four girls lowered their bodies and lay on the ground in the carriage, avoiding the volley of thousands of arrows.
————
The green mountain outside took off his bow and arrows and shot down the archers who were ambushing on the top of the tree one by one.
The assassin didn't expect that when Linglong went out for a meal, she would also bring the most popular grandson of the Ye clan, Yun.
Seeing the cleverness of the method, he immediately ran away halfway.
Almost all of the more than twenty archers shot down were seriously injured, but they did not die immediately.
Li Ning took a look and saw that it was just right! Immediately ordered, "Take him back, treat him, and interrogate him!"
————
Qingshan crossed his arms and thought, why did these people want to assassinate Linglong? My daughter-in-law is a little beauty who lives deep in the palace. How can she have enemies?
Because the other party was targeting the carriage, the guards were fine.
In the entire team, only the driver was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
The driver is a young eunuch named Xiaohezi. Follow Her Royal Highness the Princess to the palace and be responsible for running errands.
Linglong ordered, "Give Xiaohezi good medical treatment. He's only so young, so we must not leave the root of the disease behind. It's going to be a disaster if it's cloudy and rainy."
Chanjuan was a ready-made female doctor who immediately treated the wound.
Everyone returned to the palace.
Chanjuan took Xiaohezi to the palace's pharmacy where bandages should be bandaged and medicines should be administered.
————
Li Ning reported the matter to the prince.
Qi Linlang was frightened and rushed over, looking up and down at Linglong carefully.
"It's not hurt at all, is it?"
Linglong nodded, "Yeah. Don't worry, brother."
"Don't go out again! Thanks to Qingshan today!"
Linglong smiled slightly, "Isn't it?"
Seeing the annoying giggle on her face, Qi Linlang thought back to herself, "You silly kid, are you still treating this like a child's play? Your life is at stake!"
Linglong shook her elder brother's sleeves and said, "Brother! Don't report it to your father, the emperor, and your empress. It's nothing. If you let them know, you'll worry in vain."
Qi Linlang looked at her reproachfully, "Are you worried that they will urge you to return to the palace?"
Linglong heheyile "Big brother loves Linglong the most! Will eldest brother just help cover it up!"
Qi Linlang sighed, "There are many people with mixed eyesight. If I don't repay it, others will do it. You~
I'm going to interrogate the assassin, so be obedient and don't leave the palace!
I will send additional manpower to your yard. You two also don’t see each other for a while. "
Linglong pouted, "Brother~"
————
The courtyard was full of guards.
These guards have been on guard for two days and two nights, and they have not seen Qingshan for two days and two nights.
Linglong felt as if grass had grown in her heart.
Early on the third day, the imperial edict arrived, asking her to return to the palace.
Linglong lowered her head and felt irritable... After returning to the palace, she would not be able to see Qingshan in the remaining two months.
————
Not long after, hundreds of Ouchi guards who were to pick up the princess were already waiting at the gate of the palace.
Linglong had no choice but to go, even if she didn't want to go. She reluctantly returned to the palace.
He left a hastily written letter for Xiumei to give to Qingshan.
…
When the ceremony for the princess' return to the palace started, Qingshan was fighting with the master in the courtyard of the retainers.
By the time he knew this, it was already dinner time.
Xiumei sent a box of snacks with a letter hidden inside.
The brother and sister exchanged a few words, and Xiumei left.
No one in the palace knew that they knew each other. So it’s inconvenient to say more.
————
Qingshan read the short sentence in the letter: "Husband, please remember to avoid suspicion. If you exceed the limit, I will cry to death and never see you again."
Qingshan sneered, this stupid wife. If a man really changes his mind, what's the point of crying to death? You can only threaten me, a single-minded stupid man.
That's right, a stupid wife paired with a stupid man is a perfect match.
————
Qingshan rubbed the smooth letter paper, thinking about the cute and nervous expression on the little beauty's face when she wrote this sentence, and couldn't help but laugh.
————
It took more than ten days in a flash.
Linglong doesn't think about food or tea, she is unhappy and talks little.
The emperor and empress almost brought out delicacies from all over China to coax her, but she just couldn't eat them.
The round little face turned into a sharp chin in a dozen days. The old couple was worried to death.
The queen couldn't eat anymore, "Take it away."
The emperor coaxed, "Furan, just take two bites. Don't you love eating these plump and juicy grapes the most?"
The queen shook her head, "Linglong is getting thinner day by day, how can a mother eat?"
The emperor paused. He was always slow and did not have the delicate thoughts of his beloved wife. "Perhaps it's because the weather is hot in summer and his slim body is delicate. Autumn will be fine."
The Queen shook her head and sighed, "Nine times out of ten, she met an assassin and was frightened."
"What about exorcising evil spirits?"
The queen was helpless, "I'm scared, but I'm not possessed by an evil spirit. What's the point of exorcising evil spirits?"
The emperor blinked. This beloved wife was harder to coax than his daughter. "How about...inviting a Buddhist master to guard her?"
The Queen shook her head, "Forget it, I can't discuss the reason with you, a fool like you. Someone, please invite the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince over."
The emperor blinked, "I... still look like wood?"
Ever since the day of their wedding, she had thought he was like a piece of wood. Now, nineteen years later, and they are an old married couple, and they still say that... Is he really that wooden?
The emperor felt aggrieved.
Apart from being careless about emotional matters, he usually has a very good mind.
The queen sighed, rubbed his hand, and said coaxingly, "Now it's a good piece of wood with flowers."
The emperor then returned to the imperial study in a happy mood.
The queen looked at his leaving back, shook her head and sighed, alas... this wooden man, good wood is not just wood anymore?
————
Two young men arrived.
The queen anxiously told Linglong that she didn't think about food or tea.
The two young men looked at each other. What's wrong with this? I miss you.
Linlang asked, "Please tell me, Queen, Linglong must have been frightened and distressed since she was assassinated.
Thanks to Ye Zuyun and Sun being by his side at that time, he kept her safe.
If Ye Zuyunsun could be on duty at the Pearl Palace, he would be able to calm down his fear and worries. Linglong’s appetite will naturally improve. "
The queen nodded after hearing this, "Indeed, Ye Zuyunsun's martial arts are reliable and usable. Isn't he your disciple? Go and discuss with him. If you have any requests, just ask, as long as you are willing to protect Linglong sincerely."
The prince took the opportunity to poach, "Then let him be the commander of the bodyguards. The original commander of the bodyguards, Li Ning, was transferred to the East Palace to be the commander of the bodyguards. That boy is good. I have been thinking about promoting him."
It stands to reason that the princess does not have a dedicated guard team. Since Linglong was assassinated in the spring a year ago, the emperor felt sorry for his daughter, so he assigned her a dedicated team of guards, five hundred people, to guard the Pearl Palace. Called the Princess Guards. It is a branch of the Ouchi Guards.
The queen nodded and said, "Let's do it."
