Chapter 130
Then, another muffled grunt.
“Are you hurt?”
“Flesh and skin wounds, it’s nothing. If you come out, I’m going to hurt my bones!”
Outside the room, black shadows were flying, like a shadow play staging a one against ten drama.
At this moment, Flying Snow screamed, pointing at the other end. A black shadow pulled open the window at the end of the desk.
Acacia immediately rushed over, and from the half-open gap, pressed the bracelet against the outside.
“Ah!”
The window snapped back into place, and the black figure was quickly slit in the throat, lying on the window, blood soaked through the windowpaper.
No, how can he support himself at this rate?
Rong Xiangmian drew his sword and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. At the same time, the sound of the battle outside is getting more and more intense, she heard the voice of Xiaonan and Xiaobei, and then the guards of the Jing Yi Yuan rushed to join the battle.
Only then did Aimi feel slightly relieved, he is not fighting alone.
The thrilling sound of killing lasted for half an hour, everything gradually subsided, the lock outside the door suddenly rattled.
Aimi gripped his sword tightly and stared at the door with a stiff body.
The door was vigorously pushed open, the moonlight sprinkled into the room, the cool moonlight enveloped a clear and elegant figure, a blood Qi wrapped around him, the wind rushed in.
“It’s okay.”
Xiangmian’s eyes suddenly burned, and he rushed towards the door, grabbing Zhou Xian Yang’s shoulder: “Are you hurt?”
“It’s a minor injury, nothing to worry about.”
The man embraced her tightly, his fresh breath, mixed with the scarlet-sweet scent of blood, made Xiangmian almost dizzy.
She touched his body, wet and sticky liquid, even if she couldn’t see it, she knew what it was.
“Feixue, light the lamp and fetch the medicine chest.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Acacia saw a dark shadow hanging down upside down from the eaves outside the door, and the flash of silver light.
Almost instinctively, she exclaimed, “Silver Hook!”
As the silver light was about to scrape the back of Zhou Xian Yang’s neck and her face, she subconsciously swung the short sword in her hand, instantly slicing the silver light in half.
Zhou Xian Yang took over her sword, and the light of the sword went straight for the other’s throat.
The man didn’t even dodge, and with the determination of certain death, he grabbed the silver hook in the air and threw it towards Xiang Xiang.
The curved arc of the silver hook, like a silver-colored viper, spat its letter at her, and before she could react, Xiangmian was already pounced on the ground.
“Xian Yang!” She lay on the ground, hugging his body, “Where did it stab?!”
Feixue arrived with a candlestick, and as the light wavered, she exclaimed, “Your Highness!”
The sound startled Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei, who were outside disposing of the body, and they rushed in with torches raised.
As the flames danced, Zhou Xian Yang’s handsome silhouette and sharp eyes flickered.
He supported his upper body and carefully surveyed Rong Xiangmian’s body, confirming that she was not injured before smiling, “Don’t worry, it’s not yet time for mourning.”
After saying that, he fell headfirst onto her.
“Shen Che!” Xiao Bei immediately called someone in to treat her injuries. It was only when the lights were on that Rong Xiangmian saw clearly how many knives Zhou Xian Yang had received on his body.
The silver hooks had torn open a gash in his body, using his blood as paint and his skin as a canvas, waving tragically with wanton indulgence.
Acacia immediately covered her face and cried out, “Just now he was alone outside, how could I let him be alone outside, facing so many assassins ……”
Feixue busy hugging her to pacify: “Girl, if you are outside, I’m afraid that His Highness will suffer more injuries, it’s not your fault ……”
Xiao Nan also reddened her eyes, “It’s our fault, the peaceful days over a long time have lost their vigilance. Thinking that the front of the bedroom is a lake, it is naturally safe, Xiao Bei and I will be able to guard master with one hand in the back room.”
Shen Che examined the wounds all over Yu Wang’s body, especially the hook in the back just now, and let out a sigh of relief, “Your Highness, fortunately, His Highness is already familiar with the killing moves and weapons of the Western Qin people, and although these wounds were directed at the vitals, they all avoided some of them, and they did not injure the internal organs. The most serious one is this stab in the back, the immediate priority is to treat the wound to avoid □□□ too much blood, as well as contracting high fever.”
Xiangmian nodded and helped Shen Che treat and bandage the wound. He also instructed the maids, “I see that Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei are all carrying wounds, and most of the guards outside are as well. Shen Che doesn’t have enough manpower, so you guys bring people to help boil medicine for them, prepare gauze, and bandage them. I’m afraid that the medicinal herbs prepared in the garden are only enough for an emergency right now, so send someone to the store early tomorrow morning to buy them.”
After ordering and glancing at the messy Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei, he said, “I’ll take care of this place, you guys go ahead and wrap up your own injuries, don’t hold on to them.”
When the medicine, Zhou Xian Yang was woken up by the pain, saw her while wiping tears, while dressing his wounds, the corners of his mouth with a smile: “It’s okay, this is a bitter trick to come, you cry can be fooled ah.”
Said, reached out to wipe her tears.
He still has the strength to joke, Rong Xiangmian pressed his hand, sobbing: “Be honest, the wound is still bleeding.”
Zhou Xian Yang held her hand back, “You’re like this, do you feel sorry for me? If I did, it would be worth dying for.”
“You’re still saying that? It’s all because you said ‘mourning’ the other day, so don’t say anything unlucky in the future.”
“I ……”
“Shut up, lie on your side properly and don’t move!”
Shen Che was at the side, seeing that Yu Wang really did as he was told, a rare case of being honest as an obedient injury victim, secretly admiring this Yu Wang Concubine.
After the wounds are bandaged, Zhou Xian Yang finally sleeps over in exhaustion.
Rong Xiang Xiang then ambles over to the bedside to keep watch.
At dawn the next day, Duan Fei, the head of the Feather Forest Guards, rushed over with the news and asked, “Is His Highness alright?”
Rong Xiangmian’s eyes were red, “He suffered a dozen injuries.”
Duan Fei enters the room to take a look and confirms that Zhou Xian Yang is not in fear of his life, and says indignantly, “Don’t worry, I will definitely state the matter of the Jing Yi Garden to the Emperor as it is. Let him know what his child has paid for the national dynasty.”
As he said this, he looked around the lake in front of the steps. The lake that was once flooded with beautiful river lights was dyed a ghastly color by blood.
“Lord Duan, thirty people. There were thirty West Qin people who entered the garden yesterday! Now there are still a dozen or so left alive, the guards of the Yuhang Mansion have been torturing them for a night, but they won’t spit out a word. Please take them back and interrogate them to find out how many of them are left and how they’re planning to deal with His Highness. How did they get to Jinling from Western Qin? I don’t believe that without the help of someone from the dynasty, such an eye-catching dozens of young strong men of unknown origins would be able to travel so far, trek all the way to Jinling, and enter the Jing Yi Garden so easily.”
Duan Fei heard this and cast an unexpected glance at Princess Yu, then his heart sank. If someone used their enemy and assassinated King Yu, they really deserved to die.
“Chief Duan.”
The movement of the two men talking startled Zhou Xian Yang, and hearing him speak out, they immediately went back to the house to see him.
His face was pale, but his eyes were as sharp as ever, and he didn’t look the least bit like he was suffering from a dozen injuries.
“Your Highness, how are you?” When Duan Fei first met King Yu, he was still a powdered baby in swaddling clothes, and right now, when he saw him injured like this, even if he was used to seeing life and death, it was a little hard to bear.
“Don’t worry, can’t die.” The corners of King Yu’s mouth held a trace of imperceptible sneer, but when his eyes fell on the Wangfei, they instantly became gentle again.
“Acacia, go and fetch the book of peace and separation in the compartment of my clothes.”
“The book of peace and separation? What Book of Peaceful Separation?” Duan Fei was shocked.
Rong Xiangmian, also puzzled, rummaged through the inner compartment of his changed tunic and found a handkerchief, which she had lost the night she moved, and a brand new peace and divorce letter, handwritten by Zhou Xianyang, with the contents almost identical to the one she had written, except that the date of the fall had not been filled in, and it was also stained with blood.
She put the handkerchief back and handed the letter of peace to Duanfei.
Zhou Xian Yang slowly said, “Lord Duan, as you can see, I have many enemies in Western Qin. My own life is dispensable, but Your Highness is innocent. I think making peace is the best choice for her.
Your Highness is a person who values love and justice. She has done nothing wrong in this matter, but she has been implicated by me. Please bring the letter of reconciliation to father, and after the clear road, please ask the emperor to decree to remove her name from the jade ultimatum, so that the whole world can know about it. In addition, I implore the Emperor to retain her birth mother Chu’s title of ennobling on the merit of her initiative to offer the vein to the court.”
Rong Xiangmian sat on the edge of the bed and looked blankly at Zhou Xianyang. It had finally come to this, she had been waiting for this day, but looking at Zhou Xian Yang leaning weakly against the bed, thinking of such an excellent reason for her, and also taking her mother’s enjoined title into consideration for her, for a moment, her heart was sour.
Duan Fei looked at the two incredulously and called out, “Consort Yu, do you agree?”
“She agreed, Chief Duan, trouble. In addition, the matter of selection is something I have more than enough of today, so please ask the Emperor to find another capable person to take charge of it.”
Seeing their insistence, Duan Fei could only answer the request and hurriedly rushed to the palace.
Zhou Xian Yang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled towards Xiang Xiang, “This assassin really did me a big favor, this will be much better. The Jing Yi Garden should be safe for the time being for these few days, so I’ll return to the royal residence when I’ve recuperated for a few days. You watch the time to move to the new mansion on Cixi Street. If the Duke of England’s wife or anyone else makes things difficult for you because of the peace settlement, don’t hide it from me, I will clean it up one by one.”
When Rong Xiangshi saw Silent looking at him, he nodded and noticed that his lips were a bit dry and poured him a cup of water. When he rested, he then went to the garden to visit the injured generals, arranging for manpower to take care of them, dispensing medicine, until he couldn’t hold on any longer, then he went to sleep on the soft couch.
When he woke up in the evening and had dinner, Zhou Xian Yang’s spirit had recovered quite a bit. Because of some fever in the morning, he sweated and wanted to get out of bed to wash. Because of his wounds, he didn’t let Rong Xiangmian touch him, and struggled to scrub himself in the clean room.
Rong Xiangmian didn’t say much and let the maid change the bedding. Linlang picked up the two night pearls from the corner of the bed, last night did not take care of, rolled loose in the chaos. She also found out a red glazed tray from the storehouse, specially holding those two luminous beads, and rested it on the shelf at the head of the bed.
At nightfall, after bathing and half-drying her hair, Sagami sat in front of the door and blew on the wind.
The bloodstains at the entrance of the bedroom had already been rinsed away, and the lake had returned to its clarity, the traces of last night’s killing were like a nightmare.
She recalled the moment of tranquility and beauty when the two of them looked at each other before the fight.
Unfortunately, that kind of time would never come again.
Zhou Xian Yang stood in the door, gazing silently at the slender and slender silhouette a few feet away, without powder, she has a unique cool beauty under the moonlight, and her dark hair sets off her jade bones.
She can also feel, behind Zhou Xian Yang’s eyes have been enveloped in their own body, but she can not turn back.
Soon, Duan Fei was ordered by the emperor to inform them of the day’s progress: “His Majesty was outraged to learn of this matter, and has ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate the mastermind behind the assassins of Western Qin. Just because the Jing Yi Yuan has just been assassinated, it is inconvenient to personally come to visit your highness, and have to temporarily hide from the empress dowager. As for the matter …… of peace and separation, the emperor was originally due. Later, and called the Duke of England to discuss, the Duke of England kneeled down and begged the emperor not to allow and leave.”
