Consort Zhanzhao

Emperor Renzong staggered for a while, if it wasn't for Bao Zheng, and Yang He'an got up to support him in time, the emperor might have fallen to the ground.

Emperor Renzong's face turned pale, and he was almost bleeding from pinching Yang and An's hands, and said word by word: "If——I want the whole family surnamed Pang to be buried with me!"

As soon as the words fell, a... probably a human figure rushed out of the flames.

It's just that it's dark now, the fire is raging again, and the shape of that thing is a bit strange. Although Renzong has a little surprise on his face, he doesn't dare to confirm it.

And Yang He'an, who had excellent eyesight, had already broken free from Renzong's grasp, "Zhan Zhao! Princess! Water!"

No one moved as fast as him. Yang and An snatched the bucket from others, and poured half of the bucket of water on Zhan Zhao's lap, and the fire finally went out.

Hearing people's voices outside, Zhao Bijia took Zhan Zhao's hand that was still covering her face with both hands, and saw his expression almost the same as Master Bao's, "Let me go."

Zhao Bijia couldn't help struggling.

Zhan Zhao didn't move, the arm holding her was still firm.

Yang and Anlue glanced at him in panic, pursed their lips, and hurriedly said: "Princess—the guard Zhan has blood on his body! The imperial physician!"

Only then did Renzong catch his breath, grabbed Bao Zheng's hand and walked forward, shouting as he walked, "Emperor physician, imperial physician! Let's see where the princess is hurt!"

Zhao Bijia quickly hugged Zhan Zhao, and said anxiously, "Let go of me, you can't use any more force!"

Zhan Zhao looked at her eyes with a... don't know what kind of emotion, but this pair of eyes made Zhao Bijia want to cry.

"I won't leave, I'll be by your side." Zhao Bijia took his hand very hard.

Zhan Zhao suddenly staggered two steps, and could barely hold Zhao Bijia anymore. Yang He'an hurriedly helped her down, and said anxiously, "Zhan's guard has lost his strength! Let him go limp!"

Renzong had already walked to them, looking at Zhao Bijia——

His face was gray, his hair was messed up, and the hem of the skirt was still a little scorched. He hurriedly took off his cloak and wrapped his daughter from head to toe, and then suddenly realized that her hands were covered with blood. They are still tightly pulled together with Zhan Zhao!

Renzong's face immediately changed again!

He took a deep breath to calm down, his voice had become very low, "Go and see where the princess is hurt!"

Zhao Bijia quickly looked up at her emperor's father, Zhan Zhao even wanted his life because of her, "I'm fine." Zhao Bijia shook his head, "He's hurt in the back and was stabbed by an arrow, you give it to him first Stop the bleeding!"

The imperial physician looked up at the emperor, and Zhao Bijia didn't wait for her father to speak, "I told you to watch it!"

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to wash in the basin on the side, and at least one hand was clean.

The imperial doctor didn't dare to delay, and besides, the princess looked so angry that she didn't look like she was injured, so he immediately took the small scissors and cut off the clothes on the back of the guard who was already lying on the soft couch.

It's just... a little scared... The imperial doctor looked at the hands tightly held by the princess and Zhan Wei, and trembled in fright, and his hands also shook.

"Be careful!" Zhao Bijia scolded again, and at the same time comforted Zhan Zhao softly: "It's okay, we're all out now."

Zhan Zhao hummed, and in an instant all his tense muscles were released, and he didn't hold Zhao Bijia's hand as hard as before, it was like an iron hoop, it was painful.

It's just that she still didn't let go, and so did Zhao Bijia. After she noticed that Zhan Zhao was showing signs of letting go, she pushed even harder.

"He also has injuries on his hands. Something fell on his hands just now." Zhao Bijia greeted another imperial physician, "Clean his hands as well."

What Zhao Bijia was talking about was Zhan Zhao's other hand, the one that was protecting her face just now.

Even though Zhan Zhao had covered her face with his hand since he held her, he was afraid that her face would be burnt, but he was also afraid that she would see the blazing flames that could destroy everything.

But although her eyes were covered, her ears could still hear, and because her eyes were covered, her hearing became extremely sensitive.

She could hear Zhan Zhao's heavy breathing, and the sound of every breath seemed to knock on her heart, and she could also feel the violent beating coming from the close chest.

Although the speed is extremely fast, it is extremely reassuring, just like what he said.

I will take you out.

Zhao Bijia suddenly burst into tears. There was a black and red wound on the back of Zhan Zhao's hand. Because it was a burnt wound, it didn't bleed, but...

Zhao Bijia lowered her head to touch her tears, and grabbed Zhan Zhao's hand even harder.

The imperial physician had already cut off the clothes on Zhan Zhao's back, and the wound had turned into a dark blood hole, which was still bleeding out slowly, surrounded by a thick layer of blood scab, which dried up and bled again. Cover up.

Zhao Bijia was crying silently on the side, what kind of internal force affects the muscles to seal the wound... It has always been a lie.

Zhao Bijia slowly moved the hand that was tightly held with Zhan Zhao. There was a scar on the palm of that hand that she drew herself, but it seemed to have healed up now, and it didn't hurt at all.

Then Zhan Zhao...would he get better sooner?

Renzong coughed, interrupting Zhao Bijia's thoughts.

The emperor's voice was full of anger, and of course there were other things besides anger, such as gratitude to Zhan Zhao for his loyalty, and joy for his daughter's return. Burn one, and only anger is left in his heart!

Although this daughter was able to get away with it all because of Zhan Zhao, but...you two are holding hands!Still pulled so tight!I really thought it was dark, or I thought the emperor was too old to see clearly!

But... Seeing his daughter's tearful eyes, and just coming out of the fire, Renzong died down again.

Anger, self-restraint, and worrying about his daughter mixed with complicated emotions... In the end, he just suppressed his anger and didn't roar out.

"Come here, make room for the imperial physician, and give the guards a good check!"

Zhao Bijia raised her eyes to look at her emperor's father, then at Zhan Zhao's wound, and waved her hand, but did not pull it away.

Zhao Bijia sniffed her nose twice and said, "I'll go over when I see he's better."

Renzong was almost blowing his beard to the sky. He stared at this well-behaved but daring daughter, feeling that this was the first time she resisted so strongly, and Renzong didn't know what to say.

The imperial doctor didn't know if he was immersed in his profession and couldn't extricate himself, so he said without fear of confusion in his busy schedule, "It's okay, Zhan Weiwei's wound looks deep, but it's actually not that bad, and it didn't hit a vital point. He has a good foundation, as long as he rests well, apart from leaving scars, there will be no root cause of disease in the future."

The imperial doctor straightened up as he spoke, and Zhao Bijia saw that the wound on Zhan Zhao's back had been cleaned up, revealing a small waist around him, the wound was sprinkled with light yellow powder, and the bleeding had stopped.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Renzong stared! "Come here!"

Having never been yelled at by Renzong before, Zhao Bijia almost let go of Zhan Zhao with a shake of his hand.

He didn't expect to hear the emperor's roar, and before Zhao Bijia could express anything, Zhan Zhao got up from his slump first, and he took a deep look at Zhao Bijia.

That look made my heart ache and made my heart beat faster.

Zhan Zhao slowly walked up to the emperor and knelt down, "Your Majesty is delighted with the princess, I beg Your Majesty to marry the princess to my subordinate!"

Emperor Renzong gasped, staggered two steps back, his eyes wavered between Zhan Zhao and Zhao Bijia.

But when he saw his daughter's young face, whose beauty could not be concealed by dust, half a tear in the corner of her eye, and the slightly upturned corner of her mouth that she couldn't control no matter what—

Renzong's anger ignited again with a whoosh!

"You two, this is—" It's obviously not a day or two!

Renzong remembered what he had done in the past six months, and his face turned red and white with anger. Could it be that he pushed his daughter into Zhan Zhao's arms with his own hands?

"You—" Renzong was angry, but he was never angry with himself. He always expressed his anger when he got angry, and he was never ambiguous.

He stared at Zhan Zhao who was kneeling on the ground, without any hesitation, he raised his foot to kick him.

I didn't think about it, but my daughter, who was turning her elbow outward, stopped me.

Zhao Bijia also knelt down in front of Emperor Renzong with a plop, just blocking his feet.

"Father, he saved my life!"

Emperor Renzong was stunned by this sentence, and hurriedly said: "He is a bodyguard, he should save you, you don't have to - it's all the fault of the father, the father will make it up to him later, you get up first! "

"One yard for one yard!" Renzong became serious again.

Although Zhao Bijia couldn't see Zhan Zhao behind him, he could hear his already a little rough breathing, and the imperial doctor's exclamation from behind, "It's bleeding again!"

Zhao Bijia couldn't care less, and walked two steps forward on her knees, seeing that Renzong's heart ached, and the expression on his face became more and more distorted.

Although there are no corrugated stones on the ground, when did my daughter kneel down, instead of a thick cushion, when did she kneel on such rough stones and rubble?If it weren't for—

"Father!" Zhao Bijia had tears in his eyes, which could not be dimmed against the dazzling fire behind him, "It's not because he saved my life, even if someone else saved my life today—" Zhao Bijia pursed her lips , "I want to marry him too!"

"You!" Emperor Renzong turned around in anger, looking at Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help swallowing him alive.

Bao Zheng was watching from the side, but when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and stuck it in the emperor's ear. The excitement on Renzong's face eased slightly, and Zhao Bijia saw a Lingyun Taoist coming out of the crowd from behind, and he also stuck to the emperor's ear. He said something in his ear, and Mr. Bao gave him a surprised look.

Renzong took a deep breath, "It's getting late, let's go back to the palace first!" His tone was much softer than before, "Treat Zhanwei well."

Hearing these words, Zhan Zhao's strings, which had been tensed for a long time, finally loosened, and he fell to the ground with a pop, and passed out.

Zhao Bijia was so frightened that she almost threw herself on him, but she still remembered to make room for the imperial physician.

Two yamen servants came from the Kaifeng mansion and carried Zhan Zhao back to the soft bed. The imperial physician came up to give his pulse, rolled his eyelids, and pinched his jaws. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, sleep at this time." A little sleep helps recovery."

Seeing that his daughter wanted to hold his hand, Renzong glared, "Go back to the palace first! Are you not worried about your mother and concubine?"

Zhao Bijia hummed, gave Master Bao a look, saw Master Bao nodded slightly at her, then tightened the cloak around her body again, and followed Renzong step by step and walked away.

Walking out of this path, Renzong's imperial chariot was waiting outside. Renzong dragged her into the sedan chair, seeing his daughter's timid expression, and this body... Seeing the more distressing attire, he sighed and said : "Go back and wash it well, and call two imperial physicians to take a look, if there is something to do... Let's talk about it after a good rest."

Zhao Bijia nodded and hummed.

The two went back to the palace without a word. Renzong sent them directly to Concubine Zhang. Zhao Bijia inevitably received another tearful reprimand. Fortunately, after the imperial doctor came to give her pulse, she said that the princess was just a little frightened, and even calmed down. The medicine is drinkable or not, Renzong and Concubine Zhang Guifei just gave up, and finally An Ansheng passed the night.

Compared with the peaceful night in the palace, Kaifeng Mansion was quite lively.

First of all, Pang Min, the chief culprit who kidnapped the princess, was found by Yang He'an and tortured to extract a confession. In the end, although he couldn't bear to tell the whereabouts of the princess, his life was not saved at all. When Bao Zheng led people to find him, he was already angry. More, less gas in.

Struggling and shouting "Let my father go!" with all his strength, he died.

Mr. Gongsun went up to touch his neck and shook his head at Mr. Bao, "It's hopeless."

Secondly, when Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao covered in blood, with a scorched face and a scar on the back of his hand, he rushed into the cell in anger and beat Grand Master Pang up.

However, Kaifeng Mansion has always been united, and it was Zhan Zhao who was injured again. The people guarding Taishi Pang just pretended not to see him, and all the yamen servants who stayed behind gave Bai Yutang an alibi.

So Grand Master Pang's beating was for nothing.

It's just that this wasn't over yet, after dawn, Bao Zheng was invited into the palace by Wu Chengye, the emperor's personal eunuch, before he left the Kaifeng mansion.

"I don't care what method you use! I don't want to see the Pang family alone again this time!"

Bao Zheng lowered his head slightly, and only said one sentence, "Grand Master Pang has committed a heinous crime. He has committed countless crimes over the years, but the guilt has not been settled yet."

In fact, it is enough to say that. Renzong is satisfied enough to use the four words "heinous crime" and the last sentence "the guilt has not been settled yet".

It's just that he remembered that Yang and An came to plead guilty in the middle of the night yesterday. Apart from being too ruthless and not keeping Pang Min's life, there was actually another one.

"Grandmaster Pang and many officials in the court—" Renzong thought for a while, "There are letters, and his servants went out yesterday to run after these people. You just said that the fire yesterday...was Taishi Pang's confidant Knowing that the crime was serious and there was no escape, he burned the evidence of the crime first, leaving nothing behind."

Bao Zheng looked up at Renzong, and saw that the emperor rubbed his brows very tiredly, "According to Yang He'an—" the emperor sighed, "This matter should not be publicized."

Bao Zheng pursed his lips, his black face looked more and more serious, he lowered his head deeply, "Yes."

When Zhao Bijia woke up, it was already dawn, and the first thing she did after washing up was to invite Yang and An in, "How is Zhan Zhao?"

She looked Yang and An up and down, "I saw the blood all over your body yesterday, did you get hurt?"

Yang He'an didn't hesitate at all, and said: "Master Bao entered the palace in the morning, and said that the guard Zhan was still asleep, but the imperial physician and Mr. Gongsun had checked his pulse, and said that his pulse was getting stronger. Rest, don't be too tired, you will be fine soon."

Zhao Bijia breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yang and An's faces as usual, and heard him say again: "Thank you princess for your concern, I am not injured, the blood on my body belongs to others."

Yang and An explained what happened yesterday in a low voice, and even tortured to extract a confession did not miss it.

Zhao Bijia sighed, Pang Min died like this?However, he is so insane, if he is lucky enough not to die... I don't know how many troubles will happen in the future.

It's just that when he died like this, Grand Master Pang was sure to bear all the disaster.

However, Taishi Pang is not an innocent person... Over the years, he has done countless bad things by relying on his power. Even if no one was murdered by himself, there are probably not a few people who died because of his actions, orders, influence, etc.

Zhao Bijia shook her head, forgot about the group of people in the Pang family, and wanted to go out with Yang and An, but as soon as she arrived at the gate of the palace, she saw Concubine Zhang swaying back with a smile on her face.

What good thing happened to this?

But...Zhao Bijia looked at Concubine Zhang very sadly, "Concubine Mother, you said that you want to reveal a little bit to Emperor Father..."

Concubine Zhang Guifei felt a little guilty, and after she smiled, she slapped her back, "Who knew you were so fast, if—"

Zhao Bijia's eyes became more and more sad, she didn't need to pretend, as long as she remembered the scene yesterday, she could even feel the temperature of Zhan Zhao's blood on her fingertips... When she closed her eyes, it was Zhan Zhao's hand on her face, putting something on her face. are blocked.

Zhao Bijia's eye circles immediately turned red.

Concubine Zhang hurried up to hold her arm, pulled her to sit down on the couch, then hugged her daughter in her arms, and said: "Actually, you can't blame me..."

Zhao Bijia went in without knowing, and gave her a suspicious look.

"I thought so at first," Concubine Zhang Gui felt guilty, "I'll start by boasting about Zhan Zhao. It doesn't take much effort. After all, your father also praised him for his honesty and reliability. I just need to test on this. wrong."

Concubine Zhang stopped, and looked at her daughter again, "But... who told me that after I praised him for being honest, trustworthy, loyal and reliable... you two couldn't help but burst out..."

Zhao Bijia took a deep breath, so when her emperor father felt that Zhan Zhao was so upright and reliable that he didn't look like a real person...were the two of them exposed?

So yesterday her father was so irritable, I really can't blame others...

Concubine Zhang Gui felt very guilty looking at Zhao Bijia. She also remembered the distressed look of her daughter when she came back yesterday, and heard that the blood on Zhan Zhao's body almost soaked the entire clothes. She put her arms around Lou's daughter's shoulders and said: " Don't worry, you are already this old anyway, you will get married sooner or later, Zhan Zhao is pretty good."

Zhao Bijia felt that she would not want to discuss this issue anymore, so she asked, "Where did you go this early in the morning? Why are you so happy?"

"Where else can I go? I'll give your imperial grandmother a peace of mind." Concubine Zhang said with a smile, "I saw Pang."

"Now I have to be called Pangzi," Concubine Zhang Guifei sighed, "Yesterday, the whole Bianliang saw the fire in the Grand Master's Mansion, and she also got the news. The little prince who got it went to plead guilty to the queen mother, and said that he would invite himself to become a monk."

Zhang Guifei sighed again, "The Empress Dowager asked someone to carry the prince in. I didn't see her, but she allowed her to practice on her behalf, and even gave her a dharma name, Liaochen."

Zhao Bijia had no other reaction other than nodding.

Concubine Zhang hesitated and was a little dissatisfied with the ending of her opponent who had been fighting for more than ten years, "She is still so scheming, and she went to find the soft-hearted Queen Mother before Her Majesty personally questioned her, otherwise she will really have to deal with it." After a thorough investigation, the maids and concubines who have died in her hands these years... maybe there are princes and daughters who have not yet been born, and her few lives are not enough to pay for it."

There was silence in the room for a while, Concubine Zhang Guifei looked at her daughter who was a little restless, and emphasized: "Your father is angry, you can't go to Zhan Zhao!"

Zhao Bijia shook her head, how could she not know this truth?

"Lord Bao has entered the palace, I want to see him." She glanced at Yang and An again as she spoke, "Let Yang and An go."

Only then was Concubine Zhang satisfied, she nodded and let her go out.

Zhao Bijia walked quickly all the way, and saw Mr. Bao not far outside the imperial study.

Unlike usual, Mr. Bao walked a little slowly, and even chatted with Mr. Gongsun who was with him, not at all as if he still had a big case in hand.

"Master Bao." Zhao Bijia stopped him without thinking too much.

Bao Zheng turned his head, saluted her, and said with a slight smile: "Seeing that the princess is fine, the guard Zhan can rest assured."

"He's awake?" Zhao Bijia asked in surprise.

Bao Zheng nodded, "Guard Zhan woke up at dawn in the morning, very energetic, drank two bowls of red date porridge, and the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician to nourish blood and nourish qi. He also boiled the medicine and drank it."

"He can't get up, and he can't use his strength because of the injury, but is there someone to take care of him?"

Bao Zheng nodded, "Princess, don't worry, the white guard will take care of him."

Bai Yutang was very careful and reliable, Zhao Bijia barely felt relieved, but suddenly remembered the two people who finally calmed down her emperor's father yesterday.

"Lord Bao," Zhao Bijia said solemnly, "I don't know what you and Taoist Lingyun told my father last night? He was very angry at first, but in the end...how did his anger disappear."
