Jing Yi became cruel, he held the dagger tightly, raised it high, and was about to plunge it into the quilt!
suddenly!
The person under the quilt actually turned over and grasped his wrist very quickly. The intensity of the force was like that of a person with profound skills. It could never be Shen Dingzhu!
Jing Yi was startled and it was too late to withdraw.
In the swaying and mottled moonlight in the room, he saw the man's thin eyes full of hostility.
Jing Yi used his backhand to attack, but Xiao Langyan was faster than him. He grabbed Jing Yi's wrist and punched Jing Yi in the abdomen with great force.
Xiao Langyan has been practicing martial arts for many years. This punch directly knocked the tall Jing Yi away and hit the mahogany round stool in the room, breaking the stool into pieces.
Jing Yi fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood.
He raised his stunned eyes and watched Xiao Langyan walking from darkness to light with cold and fierce steps. The emperor's hair was disheveled, and his thin eyes were as dark as a sea of fire, burning with murderous intent.
The door was suddenly opened, and thousands of firelights poured in. The secret guards entered and took the lead in collecting the daggers that fell on the ground.
The others controlled Jing Yi, and he also saw Wei Wan standing at the door, peeping his head out.
She didn't dare to meet his eyes, glanced briefly, and then lowered her head.
Xiao Langyan strode towards the double-leaf pineapple wood cabinet in the room. After pulling it open, he supported Shen Dingzhu who was sitting inside and came out.
"Are you feeling bored?" Under the firelight, he saw that Shen Dingzhu's pretty face was a little pale and there was a little sweat on her forehead, so he couldn't help but care.
Even though his tone was cold, the concern in his thin eyes could not deceive anyone.
Shen Dingzhu shook his head slightly and looked at Jing Yi over there with complicated eyes.
"Why did he want to assassinate me?" She seemed confused, but her beautiful eyes raised and looked at Wei Wan outside the door.
Jing Yi saw Shen Dingzhu's eyes and felt a thump in his heart. He just felt that it was not good. This queen might want to rebel and put all the blame on Wei Wan!
Just when he was about to take over all the responsibilities, Wei Wan ran in crying and knelt directly in front of Xiao Langyan and Shen Dingzhu.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, and the Queen, forgive me. Brother, he insisted on doing this, and I couldn't persuade him. I thought he had given up, but I didn't expect that he was so bold that he came to assassinate the Queen."
Xiao Langyan said solemnly: "You get up and speak. You have to remind me this time. Otherwise, I would not have known that he was so arrogant and wanted to touch the Queen under my eyes. I am really tired of living."
At that moment, Jing Yi felt a "buzzing" sound in his ears.
His eyes were wide open, full of confusion, disappointment and hesitation.
Shen Dingzhu's black hair fell on her ears, adding a touch of tenderness. In the whole room, she was the only one who looked at Jing Yi with eyes that were not sharp.
She asked Wei Wan: "Your brother and I have never met, so what reason is there for assassinating me?"
Wei Wan wiped away his tears and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Langyan. That look of coquettishness that was about to give up was all reflected in Shen Dingzhu's eyes.
She choked and said, "Brother knows that Wan'er is deeply in love with the emperor, and is afraid that Wan'er will be disappointed and sad after the queen comes back. He also knows that Wan'er wants to... want to serve the emperor, so he doesn't hesitate to take risks for me."
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. Wan'er has absolutely no intention of competing with you for your favor. Even if I follow the Emperor anonymously, it would be a great satisfaction. But brother, he loves me so much that he would do such a stupid thing... please..." Your Majesty, please leave his body intact! Oh..."
In just a few words, Jing Yi was sentenced to death.
When Shen Dingzhu heard the words "nameless and indistinct", he looked at Xiao Langyan out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at Jing Yi with deep eyes and didn't utter a rebuttal.
So, Xiao Langyan didn't let go of his hand when he helped her out of the cabinet, and Shen Dingzhu gently broke away.
Xiao Langyan seemed to have come to his senses now, and his voice was cold: "Jing Yi, is what she said true?"
Jing Yi lowered his brown-black tiger eyes and let out a few helpless laughs from his throat.
Wei Wan's shoulders were shaking slightly from sobbing, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, just admit it, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I can't watch you make the same mistake again and again..."
Jing Yi closed his eyes and understood everything.
This situation is not really to assassinate Shen Dingzhu, but Wei Wan wants to lend his life in exchange for her staying with Xiao Langyan, which will give her an opportunity to express her position. She will never talk to Shen Dingzhu. fight.
Therefore, Wei Wan said that he would help her one last time.
It turns out...the meaning is here.
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful eyes were looking at Jing Yi quietly. Suddenly, he suddenly jumped up, resisted with all his strength, and snatched the sword blade of the secret guard beside him with his hands.
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes never wavered, and he always protected Shen Dingzhu.
Wei Wan was so frightened that she screamed. She crawled to Xiao Langyan's side with a pale face. Even though she was kneeling on the ground, she still held on to a corner of his dragon robe.
"He's going to commit suicide!" While everyone was guarding against Jing Yi's violent attack and hurting others, Shen Dingzhu keenly noticed that Jing Yi's sword was aimed at his own throat.
Xiao Langyan's sword eyebrows twisted together, his energy suddenly rising.
He raised his boots and kicked them, and Wei Wan, who was lying at his feet, rolled out and hit Jing Yi's legs heavily.
She suddenly screamed. Jing Yi's sword had just cut through the flesh and blood, but before it went deeper, he let go of the sword and looked down at Wei Wan.
The blood fell at the speed of raindrops and landed on Wei Wan's bloodless face. She was so frightened that she almost fainted.
The moment Jing Yi hesitated, the surrounding secret guards pounced on him, cut his hands behind his back, and tied them up with ropes.
Jing Yi fell heavily to the ground this time, and blood continued to flow. Doctor Cen came in from the outside, took a breath, and looked at Xiao Langyan hesitantly.
Does it mean to save or not to save?
Xiao Langyan frowned: "Pull it down."
Before Jing Yi fell into coma, he heard a clear female voice reaching his ears.
He heard Shen Dingzhu say: "Mrs. Cen must treat him well and save his life."
Xiao Langyan glanced at her with his deep thin eyes, and then nodded to Dr. Cen.
There was a pool of blood on the ground. Wei Wan was so frightened that he was dragged back to the house like mud.
Xiao Langyan glanced at Shen Dingzhu and asked coldly: "Go and sleep in my room tonight."
Shen Dingzhu shook his head: "No..."
Before the word "no" could be fully uttered, Xiao Langyan had already grabbed her wrist forcefully and pulled her to the front yard.
There was only one bed, Shen Dingzhu was lying on it, and Xiao Langyan was sitting coldly at the table far away from her.
After a while, Xiucui brought the prepared anti-fetal medicine. Xiao Langyan watched Shen Dingzhu drink it in small sips, and then his frown relaxed slightly.
The warm and bitter concoction slid into the throat, and Shen Dingzhu slowly calmed down.
Tonight, when she was having a long conversation with Mr. Shi, Xiao Langyan sent someone to report quietly. He asked her to hide in the yellow pear wood cabinet and not come out for the time being.
Of course Shen Dingzhu guessed the reason for his order. She just didn't expect that Wei Wan would become unable to sit still so quickly.
Fortunately, the yellow pear wood cabinet was large. She could sit in it and lean on it safely, except that she couldn't turn around casually.
She had just gone in for half an hour, when she was drowsy, she heard the sound of fighting outside. Through the gap in the cabinet, she saw Jing Yi's mountain-like figure, who was knocked down by Xiao Langyan's punch. .
The dagger on the ground shone with cold light, and Shen Dingzhu understood that Wei Wan sent Jing Yi to kill her.
Shen Dingzhu wanted to use this incident to make Jing Yi reveal their plan, but who knew that Jing Yi was willing to die for Wei Wan.
"Shen Dingzhu! I'm talking to you."
While she was deep in thought, Xiao Langyan's cold call brought her thoughts back.
Shen Dingzhu raised her moist and dark eyes, and her fair and tender face turned pink again. When she was not smiling, her delicate eyebrows were naturally innocent.
"What's wrong?" Even the voice was pleasant.
The anger that had just been ignited in Xiao Langyan's heart was extinguished in an instant.
He pressed his eyebrows: "I ask you if you are hungry. Do you want A Liang to prepare meals now?"
Hearing that she didn't eat much at night, Xiao Langyan was afraid that she would be hungry again in the middle of the night.
"I'm not hungry," Shen Dingzhu answered simply, her red lips opened and closed, and her eyes were filled with a misty color. She looked at Xiao Langyan, "Does the Emperor also think that Jing Yi took it upon himself to assassinate me? "
Xiao Langyan frowned, pulled up a stool and sat beside her bed.
"I won't make any arbitrary conclusions before interrogating him, but Jing Yi already has the intention of assassinating him. Even if you want to keep him today, I will look for opportunities to execute him in the future."
How could the emperor allow a danger to remain with him?
Shen Dingzhu was silent for a while before saying: "No matter how Wei Wan explains it, please don't be soft-hearted, let alone let her have contact with Jing Yi."
"I have my own opinions, you don't need to worry." Xiao Langyan said calmly.
This sentence fell into Shen Dingzhu's ears, but it made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She was emotionally unstable during pregnancy, and occasionally she would be sad or angry over trivial things. Xiao Langyan's words sounded to Shen Dingzhu as if he wanted to protect Wei Wan.
Shen Dingzhu lay down with support on her swollen abdomen, covered her with the quilt, and turned her back to Xiao Langyan. The beauty had a cold attitude, as if she wanted to rest and didn't want to talk anymore.
Xiao Langyan pursed his thin lips, looked at her for a long time, and then said: "You can go to bed by yourself, I will stay outside tonight."
Shen Dingzhu closed his eyes and remained motionless.
Xiao Langyan coldly approached the bed half an inch and emphasized again: "There is a bamboo couch outside, I can make do with it for one night."
Shen Dingzhu's even breathing sounded, and he actually fell asleep.
Xiao Langyan's face darkened.
This woman! She was so pampered by him that she was so pampered!
Are you really going to ignore him and let him sleep on the bamboo couch?
After looking at her for a moment, Xiao Langyan took a soft pillow and walked away with a livid expression.
In the middle of the night, Shen Dingzhu woke up from the heat. When she opened her eyes, she found someone sleeping on the outside of the bed, his arms holding her from behind.
Half of Xiao Langyan's hot body was pressed against her back, making her sweat, but he was soundly asleep.
