The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 42

Something happened in the palace. The Great Xiao Palace is heavily guarded, but occasionally assassins from other countries break in. There were assassins in the palace the day before yesterday, and even broke into Princess Qingyue. The princess was held hostage by the assassin and injured. , although the injury was not serious, the emperor was furious and was hunting assassins all over the city.

Xiao Qingyan went to the palace every day to see Princess Qingyue. Her elder brother King Jing had just left for an expedition, and now Xiao Qingyan was the only close brother, so she begged Xiao Qingyan to accompany her every day.

"Brother Huang, you are coming tomorrow too. Not only does my father not allow me to go out of the palace, but he also doesn't allow me to just wander around in the palace. I stay in the room every day, and it's almost moldy." Xiao Qing said The injury on Yue's body was really not a serious injury, it was just that the assassin took her to the gate of the palace and knocked her unconscious when she left.

His heavily guarded palace was broken into by assassins, the emperor was already furious, and his beloved daughter was kidnapped, which added fuel to the flames, so the emperor's order not only let Princess Qingyue stay in the palace to recuperate, but also It's a decree!Immediately block the city gates and capture the assassins throughout the city.

"I think the injury on your body is already fine. If you feel bored, you can ask your concubine to come and practice boxing with you. I remember that the imperial concubine's skills are also good, at least compared to your showy three-legged cat." Skill is strong, you can learn from your mother and concubine." You can't go to the main courtyard of the princess if you stay in the mansion, and you have to spend more than half of your time at Nanxi's place, Xiao Qingyan didn't want to act at home, so she just let it go Xiao Qingyue came into the palace every day to accompany her.

"Brother..."

"Okay, let's see the situation tomorrow. If there is nothing wrong with the mansion, I will come to accompany you." Seeing Xiao Qingyue's face drooping immediately, Xiao Qingyan could only change his words, and let's talk about it tomorrow depending on the situation.

After Nan Xi stayed until everyone in her room had left, she took some people out and went to Xu Chang'an's place.

The princess was grounded because of her, and she wanted to see it anyway.

"Princess, the people from Tongxinyuan are asking to see you outside." When Chun Yu heard the girl's report, Chun Yu didn't even want to tell her young master, that Nan Xi was obviously here to demonstrate!The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to visit, and she ran over on purpose, what does she mean!

Chun Yu didn't like the name Tongxinyuan either, but she didn't dare to say it in front of the young master, for fear that her young master would be even more upset.

"Let her go back. Didn't the lord say that no one is allowed to visit." For some reason, Xu Changan felt a little afraid of Nan Xi.He also didn't know if he was influenced by Xiao Qingyan.That Nan Xi looked like a weak woman, but Xiao Qingyan repeatedly told herself not to contact her alone, her tone didn't seem to be afraid that she would do something to her, but rather that she was afraid that she would plot against her?Does that woman really have such a great ability?

Chun Yu didn't want her young master to see that woman at first, so she hurried out to send her away.

"Miss Nanxi, you'd better go back. The prince said that during the confinement of the princess, no one can come to visit." Chunyu saw this Nanxi for the first time. It's so exaggerated, it's not as good-looking as Princess Qingyue.

"You, who is that? Why haven't I seen you before? Which yard are you from?" I wanted the girl next to me to send someone out, but Chun Yu saw a man dressed as a servant next to her. There was no servant assigned to them in their yard. Which courtyard is this man from, and how did he come here.

"Which courtyard are you from, what are you doing here? Hey! Hey, stop!" Chun Yu wondered if it was someone from another courtyard who came to inquire about the news, but she just asked, but the man turned around and left .

"Wu Ren Wu Yi, catch him!" Feeling something was wrong in his heart, and happened to see the two brothers from the Wu family, Chun Yu immediately opened his mouth and asked someone to stop him!

"do not move!"

"You...you...who are you!" How bold!Doesn't he know that Nan Xi is the prince's heart?It's nothing more than a servant, how dare... No!

Originally, Chunyi thought it was some yard who sent her to inquire about her young master, but she was just planning to learn a lesson and ask him to bring a message to his master, but who would have thought that the daring boy turned around and stepped forward to pinch Nan Xi's throat? !

"Who are you!" Suddenly, he thought of the assassin story that Zhu Quan had mentioned to him!Chun Yu's frightened hands were trembling!

In broad daylight, even assassins don't have the guts to do it!

"Wu Ren Wu Yi! Come quickly, guard the door, don't let him in! The princess is inside!"

Compared to Chun Yu's nervousness, the two brothers of the Wu family were much calmer. They were military generals, and they had experienced such scenes with good skills. Moreover, the hostage in the hands of the assassin was not the master of the palace, so they were not afraid!

"Hmph! Are you an assassin from Beidi or Nanjiang? You are so brave. How dare you break into the palace in broad daylight!" His Majesty issued an order, and the entire city searched for the assassin who injured Princess Qingyue. It's much safer in this Xianwang mansion than outside!

"What are you going to do! My girl is still in the hands of the assassin! Are you going to kill my girl?!" Bai Ling saw that the people beside him were not going to care about his master's life at all, so he was anxious!She offended a lot of people in the palace because of Nan Xi as her master. She didn't want her achievements to fall short. If something happened to Nan Xi, she would not only be busy in vain, but might even lose her life!That Concubine Min is not a good-tempered person!

"Your Majesty has issued an imperial decree! Regardless of life or death, the assassin must be caught and handed over to Her Royal Highness in person!" Wu Ren and Wu Yi don't care about any girl, as long as they are not their masters!

With such a big commotion outside, Xu Changan naturally heard it.When he came out, Chun Yu hurriedly pushed him inside, Bai Ling seemed to see a savior, and immediately knelt down like Xu Changan.

"Princess help, save my girl's life!"

Xu Changan was in a daze. He didn't realize what was going on until he saw Nan Xi who was kidnapped and had a stiff face.

"How courageous! How dare you break into the palace in broad daylight! Who are you? Quickly let the guests of the palace go!" Xu Changan couldn't help himself, what should he do?Is it for this person to take Nan Xi away or directly... or to save her?

"Princess, concubine...help me." Nan Xi is not tall, she is smaller than the average Da Xiao girl. Although the assassin is not tall, but compared with Nan Xi, he can be considered burly. To be pinched by that profuse sweat... and held by a dagger, that's really pathetic.

Xiao Qingyan came back today earlier than in the past few days. It was not time for dinner when he arrived at the palace. He had just entered the gate for a while when he was informed by his servants that assassins had broken into the palace!Hurry up and ask the guards in the mansion to go to the main courtyard of the princess to protect her, and in the end not only think of something but also let people go to Tongxinyuan to watch!

When rushing to the inner courtyard in a hurry, Xiao Qingyan knew what happened in the main courtyard while he was still on the way. When he arrived, there were already hundreds of girls, women, and palace guards around there!

"My lord! My lord, save me!" As soon as Xiao Qingyan appeared, Nan Xi seemed to see a savior!She called to Xiao Qingyan for help, and Xiao Qingyan walked quickly to her side, watching Xu Changan who was not far away suddenly walking towards him!

"Why are you standing here so well? Isn't this your yard? Why did the assassin come, but the person being held hostage is someone else!" Holding Xu Changan's shoulders with both hands, Xiao Qingyan's questioning was full of anger, Xu Changan didn't understand why Xiao Qingyan To get angry at him, he wanted to explain, but when he looked at Xiao Qingyan, he didn't see anger in Xiao Qingyan's eyes, only his face full of anxiety.

"My lord..."

"You are the virtuous king?" Since just now, this assassin dressed as a servant has been silent, just holding on to the hostage in his hand. Now that Xiao Qingyan has arrived, he finally speaks, and what he said is to confirm Xiao Qingyan's identity if.

"What? You came here specially to find me?" Xiao Qingyan was not nervous, but slowly walked towards the assassin!

"Stop! If you take another step forward, I'll kill her!" The man tightened his hands while speaking, and a line of blood immediately appeared on Nan Xi's fair neck!

"Hmph! This girl is a guest of the palace, so you must have come to my palace not to look for him! How can I ask a woman to replace..."

"You let her go!" With so many people around, Xu Chang'an actually wasn't afraid at all, but when Xiao Qingyan's words came to this point, he knew what Xiao Qingyan meant, so he couldn't just stay aside as nothing to do with himself.

"That girl is just a guest of the palace. If you catch her, even if you can escape from the palace, you won't be able to escape from the imperial city. Let her go and catch me! I am Princess Xian. Even if I leave this palace, I will be there Hand, the officers and soldiers outside don't dare to embarrass you." Without giving everyone time to react, Xu Changan strode directly towards the assassin, and when he walked to Xiao Qingyan's side, Chun Yu had already collapsed behind him. Looking at him, Xiao Qingyan anxiously stared at Nan Xi in the assassin's hands from beginning to end.

The assassin had no reason to object to Xu Changan's proposal, it was the best choice for him.Xiao Qingyan's status is noble, it is impossible to risk her life for a woman, then his concubine is the next best choice, it is good to have a concubine without a prince in hand.

"Young master! Young master!" Chun Yu was already in a hurry and couldn't control any rules, she regretted it now, she should have gone out to get the medicine by herself if she knew it earlier, and let Dong Xue stay, if Dong Xue was around, she would stop her even if she used violence Young master, I won't let young master take risks!

"My lord! My lord..." The moment she was freed from her hands at this moment, Nan Xi rushed towards Xiao Qingyan. Xiao Qingyan hugged him and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

"Everyone! Get out of the way, let him out!" Xiao Qingyan gave an order, and the people around him automatically dispersed along a path, only the two brothers from the Wu family did not move out, and instead pleaded with Xiao Qingyan.

"My lord, the princess is still in his hands, I can't let him go!"

"My lord, I beg you to save my young master!" In the entire courtyard, except for the Wu family brothers and Chun Yu who were still kneeling on the ground, everyone else had already made way for the assassin.Xiao Qingyan didn't look at the kneeling Chun Yu, but said to the Wu family brothers: "Wu Ren Wu Yi, you lead a team of people to follow the princess, after this person leaves the city, bring the princess back safely!"

After Xiao Qingyan finished speaking, she didn't wait for others to speak again, and left directly with a trembling Nan Xi.

Watching the two leave together, Xu Chang'an suddenly felt that perhaps he had guessed wrong before, even in this critical moment of life, he was protecting her, so how could he be lying to her?Maybe I just thought too much before, Xiao Qingyan didn't let me see her alone, there was no other reason, but I was afraid that I would embarrass her or I didn't want her to salute her princess.

"Can you be gentle? I won't struggle to escape. I said I would send you out of the city. It's just that you hurt the emperor's most beloved Princess Qingyue. Even if you leave the city, you may not be able to escape safely." One side of Xu Changan's neck was aching from being strangled. The cold dagger was on his neck. When he touched it occasionally, it would always make him a little dizzy.

Xiao Qingyan anxiously took Nan Xi back to Tongxin Garden, and as soon as he arrived at the convenient place, he hurriedly asked people to sit down, and kept asking if there was any injury on his body, and if there was any discomfort.

"My lord, Nan Xi is fine, thanks to the concubine. But...I heard that the lord has recently suffered Dong Xue from the concubine's side. When Dong Xue came back and found out that the concubine was kidnapped for saving me, I'm afraid she would be sad." Obviously the one who saved her was Xu. Chang'an, what Nan Xi mentioned at this moment was an insignificant girl, Xiao Qingyan felt a little regretful, if he had known today, he shouldn't have been impulsive that night.

"What are you thinking about? You don't know. The longest sentence my father said to me since I was a child is that my temperament is the most similar to his, so I am the most unsuitable person to sit on the throne. That day, my father In order to marry a male concubine, I was not a bit surprised. He knew that my temperament was not suitable for an emperor with a harem of three thousand.

My mother passed away early, and my father blamed myself. I have already confessed my feelings to my father. If I can meet a woman who makes me fall in love someday, I would like to have her alone in this life. "Xiao Qingyan's words were not false, he did have such a conversation with his father, but his father's reaction at that time was not disappointment but relief.

"Lord"

"That person, I think I've found it." There are many people in the world who can give their sincerity to others, but not many can give their lives for them. After looking at Nan Xi's room, at the end he smiled. His eyes fell on Nan Xi's face.

What Xiao Qingyan meant, Nan Xi naturally understood, what princess Dongxue, she was thrown aside by her at this moment!What she wants to know, she already knows, and the rest is not important.

"You were frightened today, it's better to rest, and tomorrow I will have the imperial doctor come over to show you."

"My lord, I don't know if the princess is back? The princess is suffering because of me. If something happens to the princess, what should I do!"

"It is indeed thanks to him today, don't worry, I will go and have a look, if he comes back, I will thank him for you, and then release his ground punishment." Speaking of going out to have a look, Xiao Qingyan asked the girl After keeping Nan Xi well, he went to the front hall by himself.

When Wu Ren Wuyi came back with Xu Chang'an, the sky was completely dark, and he sent Xu Chang'an back to the main courtyard together with others, ordered them to take good care of him, and then stayed with Xu Chang'an for a while, Xiao Qingyan left again, And he still went to Nanxi's place.

"Don't worry, he's fine, don't blame yourself." Nan Xi was concerned about Xu Chang'an's safety just now, Xiao Qingyan hurried over to inform him after making sure that he was fine, so that Nan Xi could feel at ease.

"That's fine."

"You have suffered a lot today, you need to rest well, I will leave without disturbing you, and come to see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bailing, send the prince off for me."

Xiao Qingyan came and went in a hurry, Bai Ling naturally knew what his master meant, when he sent Xiao Qingyan out, he deliberately paid attention to the direction Xiao Qingyan was going.

"Don't worry, girl, the prince is going to the direction of his study in the front hall. Even on this kind of day, the prince is unwilling to go to the princess's place, so you can rest assured." Bai Ling was very proud, her girl seemed to be the most popular in the palace. Beloved, I'm afraid her future life will be more prosperous than those two side concubines.

"You ghost girl, you're the only one who is smart." Nan Xi was finally relieved when she heard that Xiao Qingyan was going to the study. It seemed that the temptation this time was still useful, at least she didn't have to worry.

Although Xu Chang'an took a dangerous trip, he didn't suffer any injuries. After returning to the palace, he hurriedly met with Xiao Qingyan, and ordered his servants to prepare dinner for him. He was hungry.

"Master, aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat more?"

"Maybe it's after the meal, but I can't take it anymore. Go and heat up the medicine for me, and then prepare hot water. After drinking the medicine, it will feel like a bubble bath."

When Dong Xue came back and heard about what happened in the afternoon, she kept guarding the gate of the palace. When Xu Changan came back, she was the first to meet him.At that time, she paid attention to the young master's face.

The young master must also be sad in his heart. Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face...was so distressing!Your lord is too much!

"Well, this servant will go get ready right away." I don't want to mention the day's affairs again, for fear of making the young master even more sad, Dong Xue only hopes that those two heartless people will be punished one day sooner or later!

As early as when her young master came back, Chun Yu couldn't say anything, she could only follow her with red eyes, but she couldn't say a word of comfort, because she felt that no matter what she said, it would make the young master even more sad .

Just by looking at the faces of the two girls, Xu Changan knew what they were thinking. After bathing and changing their clothes, before letting them leave, it was he, the master, who took the initiative to say words of comfort to them.

"Don't be like this, you two. It's not a big deal. Just treat it as repaying the prince's favor. I owe him more than he owes me. It's a little bit if I can pay back a little.

Well, you all go down, I am a little tired and want to rest. "

"Yes, young master and slaves will keep watch for you tonight. Call us for anything you want." After Xiao Qingyan sent a lot of servants over, Xu Chang'an's night watch girls are those little girls. Keep vigil for her young master.

"It's up to you." After going to bed, Xu Changan asked the two of them to turn off the light for him. After lying down on the bed, he didn't feel any jolting, and he was sure that he had really returned safely.

Not without regrets, but Xu Changan knew that he had no choice at that time.If it wasn't him, it would be Xiao Qingyan.

I did Xiao Qingyan a big favor by doing this, it could even be said that I took a risk for him and saved half of his life.

"It turns out that this is an accident." It turns out that accidents can happen, and it is not so absurd and unacceptable.So... what would happen if my concubine Xian died unexpectedly...?

Because of his mother's relationship, it's not that Xu Chang'an didn't think about his future wife's appearance. He even secretly thought that if he married a wife and had children one day, he would never take a concubine, and he would not let his wife live the same life as his mother.

"What's the use of thinking about that now, now, it's not you who control the fate of others, it's your own life that is in the hands of others." Not reconciled, but what if you are not reconciled?Unless you can give up this life, thinking about it is futile.

"Give up this life? An accident..." Xu Changan suddenly had an idea in his heart, an idea that would allow him to regain freedom and a new life.

"Who!" Before he had time to sort out the thoughts in his head, he suddenly felt someone beside him!

"Hush down, it's me."

"You...how did you come in?" Xu Changan didn't hear any movement outside at all, why did Xiao Qingyan suddenly appear by his side?By the way, he seemed to hear a sound just now, like something opened?
