The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree
Chapter 198 Prey and Hunter
What a coincidence! The person who stopped Jiang Li and Qing Zhu in the medical tent was an old acquaintance.
It was the man who led the way for her in the Changsheng Army whom she had met in the Yufeng military camp. They had met once before.
Without waiting for Jiang Li to answer, he slapped his forehead.
"Oh, look at my brain. You just came down the mountain, but do you need a doctor to see you?"
Jiang Li nodded slightly at him in question, then shook his head.
"Do you know where the prince is?"
The guards suddenly realized what was going on and quickly made way.
"The Yongning Marquis' son is seriously injured and is in the No. 3 medical tent. Please come in!"
As they were talking, the voices in the camp shouting about the emperor's lack of virtue and the wrath of heaven died down.
Jiang Li took two steps and suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at the guard and asked suddenly.
"When did you come to the Imperial Court?"
The Ever-Victorious Army has its own garrison and should not have left the camp to come here.
The Royal Courtyard is the territory of the Imperial Guards, but all we saw along the way were the Ever-Victorious Army.
There were hardly any Royal Guards.
The guard looked hesitant and glanced around.
He lowered his voice and said, "It was last night. After the banquet, His Majesty was assassinated. Many people in the Royal Guards disappeared, so the Ever Victory Army was urgently summoned here."
The Royal Court was originally surrounded by the Imperial Guards like an iron barrel, but not only was the emperor assassinated there, but the soldiers of the Imperial Guards also mysteriously disappeared.
The Changsheng Army’s garrison is closest to the Royal Court, and their strength is also the strongest.
The guard said, "We still don't know who the murderer was in last night's assassination. We just killed a few insignificant assassins and have no clues."
In addition to the strange behavior of the Imperial Guards, it was only natural for the Ever-Victorious Army to come to protect the emperor.
"I see."
Jiang Li nodded slightly, and his guess was confirmed.
The Royal Guards in the Royal Court are the emperor's most loyal dogs.
The Imperial Guards that have disappeared from the Royal Court are the ones who were chasing Chu Ninghan and her people in the mountains.
There is no doubt that it was Chu Ninghan's work that the Changsheng Army replaced the Imperial Guards to garrison the Royal Court.
While the emperor was changing the rules to plot against Chu Ninghan, Chu Ninghan was also making plans.
The emperor sent the imperial guards into the mountains to assassinate Chu Ninghan, so the guards in the royal courtyard must have been lax.
This is the opportunity.
The emperor was stupid, had been living in extravagance for many years, and was superstitious about gods and Buddhas.
The people have long been complaining, and too many people want the emperor to die.
Chu Ninghan only created such an opportunity, and when the emperor sent the Imperial Guards into the mountains for the second time and the Imperial Court was empty, the assassination happened naturally.
Later, the Changsheng Army moved into the royal palace, which was the emperor's only option.
Although he had sent the Ever Victorious Army to suppress bandits for many years, the emperor knew very well.
What the Changsheng Army truly recognized was not the emperor's transfer order, but the living Chu Ninghan.
He coveted the Changsheng Army, but was afraid of Chu Ninghan.
Letting the Ever-Victorious Army come to the Imperial Palace, isn't that tantamount to inviting thieves in?
But with the threat of assassination, this is the only thing we can do.
At the same time, the emperor was also gambling. He hoped that the imperial guards would be able to kill Chu Ninghan on the mountain.
In this way, the hidden danger of the Changsheng Army was eliminated. Chu Mingzhao was just a six-year-old kid, so they could just find a reason to kill him.
Then the Ever-Victorious Army would undoubtedly fall into the hands of the emperor.
But unfortunately, Chu Ninghan came back alive.
In other words, ever since the Emperor changed the rules of the Autumn Hunt, the roles of the prey and the hunter were no longer what they seemed.
Now, Chu Ninghan is undoubtedly the hunter who has obtained the prey.
The guard said again: "Princess, the situation in the Imperial Court is still turbulent. You should return to the camp as soon as possible after visiting the prince!"
The commotion just now was already a sign, and the strange fire on the mountain was still burning.
Such rumors spread everywhere and would sooner or later be known to the emperor.
Jiang Li came back alive from the mountain. It is possible that the emperor will use people like Jiang Li who came back alive from the mountain to clarify the rumors.
The more low-key Jiang Li is now, the better.
"Thanks for letting me know. I will."
Jiang Li nodded. Chu Ninghan now had the Imperial Court under his control, so he didn't need her help anymore.
It is necessary to hide in the dark and keep a low profile.
Then she led Qingzhu to medical tent No. C.
Too many people were injured in the assassination last night. Xie Jun was unlucky and one of the most seriously injured, so he was lucky enough to get a separate medical account.
Jiang Li entered the medical tent and the imperial physician was changing the dressing for Xie Jun.
This time, when seeing Jiang Li, Xie Jun did not lose control and yell like Xiao Yan.
His face was pale and he had been staring at Jiang Li since Jiang Li entered the door.
The imperial physician in the tent was quite old. He stood up and bowed to Jiang Li.
"I've met the Crown Princess."
After Jiang Li returned the gift, he went straight to the point and asked about Xie Jun's condition. The old imperial physician did not look very happy.
Both of Xie Jun's legs were chopped off. Although his life was saved, he has to use a wheelchair from now on.
But it’s not easy to say this clearly, after all, Xie Jun was awake at that time.
He is a prince after all. Even if his reputation is ruined, he still has to be considerate.
He said carefully: "Princess, the prince is not in danger of death now, he needs to rest in the future."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician. Thanks to you, the prince is out of danger."
There was a hint of sadness in Jiang Li's eyes, but he seemed to be truly happy for Xie Jun, and he forced a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
The old imperial physician shook his head repeatedly and glanced at Xie Jun who looked like a dead man.
This was a good thing for Jiang Li, as Xie Jun's reputation was ruined for all the bad things he had done.
Now that his legs are completely disabled, as long as Jiang Li takes good care of Xie Yulang, he will have the final say in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Princess, the prince still needs to rest. Can you stay for another half an hour?"
After instructing them on how to take care of Xie Jun, he stepped out, leaving the space to the couple.
Staring at Jiang Li, Xie Jun looked as pale as death.
"What are you here for..."
Originally this time it should have been foolproof, as the emperor had even dispatched the Imperial Guards.
Even if Jiang Li had nine lives, he shouldn't have come back alive.
But now Jiang Li is standing here safely.
This not only meant that the Imperial Guards suffered losses at her hands, but also meant that he had no other way to take back the power of the Marquisate from Jiang Li.
In fact, from now on, the life and death of him and Xiao Yan depends on Jiang Li's thoughts.
It shouldn't be like this.
What went wrong to lead to the current result?
"Of course I came to visit the prince and congratulate him."
Jiang Li looked at Xie Jun's empty legs and looked away with satisfaction.
She smiled and said, "The county lady is pregnant, and the family has not had a child for many years. Isn't the prince happy?"
Xie Jun's face turned even paler, his eyes even turned slightly red, and his hands clenched the quilt so tightly that they almost bled.
How can he be happy!
Xiao Yan's pregnancy once again reminded everyone in the capital of his scandal with Xiao Yan!
That child came at the wrong time!
"Happy!"
In front of Jiang Li, Xie Jun really couldn't figure out what Jiang Li was thinking.
However, this is the imperial palace and is under the emperor's nose.
He forced a smile and said, "Of course I am happy!"
As long as he returns to Kyoto, he will definitely abort the child!
