Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 319 Returning to Beijing

He felt complicated.

Originally there were four sons, but Murong Xiu made a big mistake and Murong Yu was a waste. Now only Murong Heng, Murong Yao, and a few princesses are left.

The heirs are withered.

Could it be that this is God's punishment for him?

He put his hands in his sleeves and folded them, lowered his eyes slightly, turned and left.

Behind him, Murong Heng looked at his back, dark light surging in his narrow eyes.

Outside the capital.

It was raining heavily and the road was muddy.

Murong Yao held the reins and walked in front, his eyes covered with a layer of water mist, which then rolled down along his long eyelashes, blocking his sight.

Fei Shao said loudly.

"Your Majesty, it's raining too much, and it's night with poor visibility. It's not suitable for traveling at all. Why don't we find a place to stay first and set off tomorrow?"

"No."

Murong Yao refused flatly: "I've been traveling all night, and I can barely make it there tomorrow. If we delay again, we will be delayed for another day. I can't wait any longer."

The Queen Mother was mourning. As a prince, he could not rush back in time to watch the funeral. No matter what the reason was, it would definitely leave a bad impression in the hearts of his father and the ministers.

He must go back.

Fei Shao wiped the rain off his face.

"But... it's really slow to drive like this." He turned to look at the carriage behind him. "The carriage is slow. The two princesses are still inside. We must pay attention to their safety. My lord, I know that you are anxious, but in this weather , too dangerous.”

"Then let them find a place to wait first, and I will send someone to pick them up after I return to the capital."

Fei Shao was a little surprised: "But it's not safe to leave the two princesses in this remote place..."

"Now I don't have to worry about much, so I can go faster."

Seeing Murong Yao's firm expression, Fei Shao could only obey his orders.

"Yes!"

He turned around and was about to go to the carriage to deliver Murong Yao's words when he suddenly saw an arrow flying over from not far away.

He shot straight towards Murong Yao on horseback!

Murong Yao turned aside and dodged the arrow.

Fei Shao was startled and immediately pulled out his sword.

"There are assassins!"

The guards around the carriage immediately drew their swords and surrounded Murong Yao.

It was raining heavily and the visibility was not good.

Murong Yao held the sword in his hand and had a bad feeling in his heart.

His itinerary has been kept secret, and when he came back today, he took a shortcut. How could anyone know his whereabouts and ambush him so quickly?

Not allowing him to think too much, a group of people suddenly rushed out and started to kill Murong Yao and his party.

There was chaos on the field for an instant.

The horses behind him were frightened. After running forward for a few steps, their feet slipped and the entire carriage suddenly overturned.

Lin Xiuyi crawled out in panic on her hands and knees. When she saw the fight outside, she was so frightened that she screamed.

"Help! Your Majesty, save me!"

The shrill shouts attracted the attention of the assassins. One of them pulled out a knife and slashed towards her.

"what!!"

Lin Xiuyi let out a shrill scream, and suddenly a whip flashed from the side and struck the assassin hard, knocking him over.

Leng Ruqing withdrew her whip and looked at Lin Xiuyi who was on the ground in shock, frowning.

"Get out of the way and don't get in the way!"

After saying that, he turned around and left her, running towards Murong Yao.

Murong Yao was being besieged by several people.

There were too many enemies, and he gradually became exhausted.

At this moment, a soft whip came over and relieved him.

Leng Ruqing's red clothes were soaked by the rain, but her figure was still strong and healthy.

She kicked over an assassin next to her and rushed to Murong Yao's side anxiously.

"Murong Yao, are you okay!?"

"fine."

Murong Yao looked at her.

In the heavy rain, her hair was clinging to her face in a mess, but her eyes when she looked at him were bright and full of deep concern.

Leng Ruqing came over and stood behind him, facing his back.

"Murong Yao, let me help you."

In the battlefield, giving your back to the other party is an act of absolute trust.

Murong Yao lowered his eyes slightly and nodded: "Yes."

After the two of them joined forces, it became much easier.

Leng Ruqing's kung fu was better than he thought. Dressed in red, he was strong and light in the rain. He quickly repelled the siege, and the two of them had a moment to breathe.

Murong Yao turned to look at her.

"Your skill is beyond my expectation."

Leng Ruqing held the whip: "Your skills...are beyond my expectations."

Murong Yao:?

Why does this sound like a curse?

"Your Majesty."

His sleeve was suddenly pulled.

Murong Yao turned his head and saw Lin Xiuyi stumbling to his side, her face extremely pale.

"Who are these assassins... Your Majesty, I am a little scared."

"I don't know who sent it. If you hide, there will be guards to protect you."

Murong Yao's voice was light.

It is normal for Lin Xiuyi, a lady who has been raised in a boudoir since she was a child, to be afraid, but at this moment she has lost all her dignity, and she is really embarrassed.

Lin Xiuyi shook her head.

"Your Majesty... I want to stay with you, but I am really worried about you."

Murong Yao's side was the place with the most guards.

It is also the safest place.

Leng Ruqing frowned: "Are you afraid of death and want Murong Yao to protect you?"

Lin Xiuyi was instantly annoyed when her thoughts were revealed sharply.

"I am really worried about you, Your Majesty, but you misunderstood me in this way. You are simply judging a gentleman with a villain's heart!"

Murong Yao was a little annoyed by the noise and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a hidden arrow flying over.

"what!"

"careful!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Before he could react, he saw someone flashing in front of him and blocking his way.

Leng Ruqing was thin, but she was extremely determined the moment she rushed out.

boom!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Fei Shao stopped the sword with a sword.

He turned around.

"Your Majesty, the rain is too heavy and we can't tell how many people there are on the other side. Let's retreat first!"

"Okay, let someone cover you and retreat immediately."

Murong Yao made a quick decision.

Then he turned to look at Lin Xiuyi behind him.

"How long are you going to hold on to my clothes?"

His face looked a little cold.

He saw clearly just now.

When the cold arrow flew over, Lin Xiuyi instantly hid behind him.

Just the opposite of Leng Ruqing.

Lin Xiuyi immediately let go of his python robe with some fear.

A group of people protected Murong Yao from retreating while fighting.

The three finally escaped.

But on the way to retreat, Murong Yao was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

He cut off the arrowhead and hurried toward the southwest. He often came to the Jokhang Temple, so he was familiar with the neighborhood and knew that there was a small temple here.

We hurried along and finally arrived at the temple.

The abbot of the temple also knew Murong Yao, so he immediately prepared two rooms for him and sent someone to take Murong Yao's token and go to the capital to spread the news.

Leng Ruqing kicked the door open, then took off Murong Yao's python robe, and with a hiss, tore the clothes off his shoulders.

Murong Yao looked up in shock.

"what are you doing?"
