With so many master guards, the assassins can only hide in the dark and shoot cold arrows, which is not extremely dangerous.Zhao Ji quietly hid in the carriage. He heard someone running towards this side in the distance, and heard the sound of more and more dense arrows cracking the air. Some of those arrows fell on the carriage, but they couldn't penetrate the special Some of the car walls were blocked by the guards. Zhao Ji also heard a few muffled groans, thinking that some of the guards were injured. She grabbed the sword tightly, but still did not draw it out. The assassin's goal was to She, she is in the car, the guards can give her the strictest protection, but if she goes out, it will make the guards mess up.

Zhao Ji has experienced similar scenes several times, even more tragic ones, before she ascended the throne, when she was an inconspicuous eleventh princess.Don't think too much about those things, Zhao Ji stayed in the carriage, waited for about two quarters of an hour, the sound of fighting outside gradually subsided, no more cold arrows fell, and the assassins who were supposed to be in ambush had been cleared out.Sure enough, after a while, Gao Muen was sure that she was safe, so he came to report to her, and asked her whether she should stay where she was and wait for the guards to pick her up, or continue walking to the palace.

Zhao Ji put down his sword, opened the car window and took a look, the market that was still a little popular had already dispersed, melons, fruits, vegetables, firecrackers, etc. were scattered all over the place, some were trampled to pieces, some were taken far away, you can see The panic of pedestrians fleeing.There were quite a few corpses lying on the ground, most of them belonged to assassins, there were also a few of Zhao Ji's bodyguards, and one or two civilians who were too late to escape.A pool of blood here and a few drops there splashed down on the snow, and broken arrows and long knives were messily stuck on it. Some people couldn't stand their eyes. They stared at the carriage with their eyes wide open, like evil spirits, but Zhao Ji was not afraid. this one.

She put down the curtain of the car, and gave a soft order: "Go back to the palace. Take the corpses of them with you. If you pay for them... it will be tripled."

Someone outside the door said "yes", and then the carriage started to move forward again, but after the assassination just now, the road ahead should have been cleared, so the carriage did not go fast.

Zhao Ji sat back, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in her nose. She rubbed the center of her brows wearily, and a calmness that did not match her age appeared on her face that was too young.The carriage walked slowly for two streets, and in the slight shaking, Zhao Ji noticed something at her feet. She glanced at it, her pupils shrank slightly, then bent down, and grabbed the thing in her hand again.

It was the sugar cake that Wei Chuyan gave her. It rolled down at some point, and it might have been stepped on a couple of times. At this time, it was already deflated, and the oil paper was not broken, but looking at it like this, it is naturally impossible to eat it again.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, she looked down at the candy cake for a while, then suddenly opened the curtain again and threw the candy cake out.

……

After returning to the palace, there were servants and maidservants from the Empress Dowager's palace waiting there. Zhao Ji saw it and guessed that the Empress Dowager had already heard the news of her assassination.

She changed her clothes and hurried to see Queen Mother Wan. Queen Mother Wan was really waiting for her. As soon as she saw her, she took her to check carefully. Seeing that she was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, but coughed suddenly Can't stop.

Zhao Ji suddenly felt nervous, she helped the queen mother to lie down on the soft bed, seeing that the queen mother looked bad, she wanted to send someone to preach the imperial doctor, but was stopped by the queen mother.The Empress Dowager leaned on the bed, slightly raised her hand and pointed at the medicine on the table, Zhao Ji understood, but did not let the palace servants do it, but went to fetch the medicine herself, and brought it to the Empress Dowager, who reluctantly drank it After two mouthfuls, he let it go again.

Zhao Ji frowned tightly: "Didn't you say it was just the wind and cold? Why hasn't the wind and cold recovered since the beginning of winter?" Although she didn't show anything deliberately on her face, there was no lack of concern for the Queen Mother in her tone, obviously She cares about the Queen Mother very much.

It was rumored that the relationship between the new emperor and the queen mother was not good because of the queen mother's dictatorship, but that was just a rumor after all.Although Zhao Ji is not the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager Wan, she is the daughter of the Empress Dowager's sister, and has been recorded under the name of the Empress Dowager Wan, who was still a noble concubine since childhood, and was raised as her own daughter. The feelings are naturally close, and Zhao Ji knows how she came to be the emperor, so she will not feel any dissatisfaction at this time.

No matter how those ministers speculated, her concern was real, and her care was also true. Moreover, she always felt uneasy about her mother's illness, but she didn't know where this feeling came from.

Chapter 7 Struggling

The next day it snowed again, not too much, Wei Chuyan went out with a bamboo umbrella, planning to go to a nearby market to buy something in return.

The cold wind was biting, and as soon as she stepped outside, Wei Chuyan was blinded by the wind. She rolled up her sleeves and continued walking against the cold wind.In the alley at the entrance, the stone slabs are covered with thin snow, and there are many children's footprints on them. In this kind of weather, only children who are not familiar with the world can be so lively.

Thanks to Qian Yangjun's good health, Wei Chuyan quickly adapted to the cold wind outside, and walked steadily towards the market. When he arrived, he found that there were not many people there.There is also snow here, and there is something strange buried under the snow, and there are some strange ups and downs.No one is doing business, and no one is shopping. The bustling market in the past seems to be dead.

On the contrary, one or two officers and soldiers were patrolling. Wei Chuyan took a look from afar and stepped back a little. As soon as he retreated, a pot of cold water was poured on her head. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and hid under the eaves, otherwise she would have been in trouble today. It's about to freeze into an ice cube.
