Chapter 16: reward

    "Guardian Jiang, you should have been rewarded for saving your car this time.


    It''s just that--" Before I could speak, Kuang Xiqing''s gaze turned, but she


    fell directly on Jiang Zhuo, her expression of joy and anger


    indistinguishable." It is an indisputable fact that you killed the assassin by


    mistake, and broke the clues to continue the investigation. The two are


    superimposed, and the merits and demerits are equal...Are you dissatisfied?""The subordinates have nothing to say." Jiang Zhuo bowed his head respectfully


    and replied."That''s fine-you can retreat." Kuang Xiqing curled her lips coldly, but with


    the arrogance of a superior-this is the first time I have seen her exuding


    such a momentum so directly."Subordinates retire." Jiang Zhuo bowed a little and walked out without even


    looking at me-looking at her unrelenting back, I pressed down the unspoken


    retention, only feeling my shoulders. His wound seemed to hurt again."Han''er is really special to this Jiang guard." Before I noticed, Kuang Xiqing


    had already walked to the edge of the bed and sat down sideways---white


    slender fingers lightly swept over my shoulders. Bandaged, the tone seemed


    meaningful."Yes, Jiang Zhuo has a strong martial arts, serious and responsible, dedicated


    to his duties. He is indeed a powerful guard next to the emperor..." I


    followed Kuang Xiqing''s words and praised Jiang Zhuo. I hope she can see Jiang


    Zhuo''s abilities and get upset. Transfer Jiang Zhuo back to her side and


    continue appointing \- who knows that she didn''t play the card according to


    common sense and cut off my words along the way."That''s the case, then formally include her in your guard system." Kuang


    Xiqing glanced at the clepsydra in the corner, reached out to hold my


    uninjured shoulder on the other side, and pressed it down slightly, "Okay." ,


    You don’t need to worry about the rest... it’s getting late, so take a rest


    soon."Lying back under her strength, I gritted my teeth secretly, but I don''t know


    how to restart the conversation.At this moment, her close female officer Wu Yao whispered a report from the


    outside: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, please see me.""The royal husband? What did he do?" A flash of impatientness flashed through


    Kuang Xiqing''s eyes, but he quickly converged, "Tell him, I''m very tired


    today, and I will see him another day.""His Majesty, His Royal Highness is here for King Ling." Wu Yao lowered her


    voice in embarrassment, as if she was afraid of angering Kuang Xiqing."...Ling Wang is hurt, and it''s inconvenient to see the guests." Her faint


    eyes swept over, and I closed my eyes subconsciously, pretending to be


    extremely tired, as if I had already rested-the real sight was on my face.


    Stayed there for a while before moving away."Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness, please stay! Your Majesty has an


    order, you can''t go in!" Suddenly, there was a noisy footsteps from far to


    near. When Kuang Xiqing raised her voice and asked what happened, the door of


    the sleeping hall was suddenly pushed open. , Wu Yao''s continuous painstaking


    admonition stopped abruptly with a clear male voice, "Get out of the way!"I felt the bed lighten suddenly, but Kuang Xiqing stood up and hurried towards


    the intruder.Curious in my heart, I couldn''t help but secretly lifted my eyelids and


    glanced over there-Lu Xiuzhu''s handsome face was unprecedentedly angry and


    worried."Xiuzhu, why are you here?" Kuang Xiqing''s voice couldn''t be heard at all.


    Looking from the side, I even saw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as


    if I was very happy to see each other-but I know , Her true emotions are not


    as shown."I have seen your Majesty." He also changed his aggressive attitude toward Wu


    Yao just now. He bowed a gentle salute, and also responded with a soft


    smile—but his eyes couldn''t help but he swept across the bed and taught me


    that I had to close. He raised his eyes and lay upright, not daring to come


    out. "The slave heard that the assassin had been mixed in at the banquet, and


    he was really worried about your Majesty. Therefore, despite the obstacles, he


    insisted on coming in and see, hoping that his majesty would forgive him.""The royal husband is worried, how can I blame you for this?" Kuang Xiqing


    calmly said, "I''m fine, let''s go back, the royal husband.""Wait, the slave also heard that His Royal Highness King Ling sacrificed his


    life and was injured by the assassin, but is there such a thing?" He finally


    said his intention, but he did not expect it to be for me, but he was a little


    surprised-but it was. Trouble is greater than touching.After all, his worries and his friendship are directed at the Kwong Xihan who


    has been acquainted with him since childhood, not the current me; his


    identities with Kwong Xihan are also destined to this unrealistic concern that


    should be buried in the bottom of my heart, but Not so unscrupulously put on


    the table."It''s true," Kuang Xiqing said lightly, "but it''s just a wound of flesh and


    skin, so the royal husband doesn''t need to worry about it.""Xiaohan..." I heard his voice as if he was not far away, probably after


    passing Kuang Xiqing and approaching the bed, the strange smell made me hold


    my breath.——How many people is the ** Kuang Xihan implicated?It was daring and hopeless.Can''t help but swear fiercely in my heart and leave the mess to me."Quiet! Han''er is already asleep, don''t want to wake her up." Kuang Xiqing''s


    voice was suppressed extremely low, but her tone was accompanied by a somewhat


    non-existent warning, which shows that Lu Xiuzhu kept repeating it again and


    again. Ignoring her order has already touched her bottom line, and taught her


    to show the majesty of the emperor.Even with my eyes closed, I could feel the more tense atmosphere-in line with


    Kuang Xiqing''s statement, I slowed my breathing and made the appearance that I


    was already asleep.After a few breaths, I listened to Lu Xiuzhu''s gentle voice, with all the


    edges and corners removed, and said: "It is the slave who is impatient, I hope


    your majesty will understand...the slave will retire.""Well, go." Kuang Xiqing''s voice also returned to its usual softness and


    stability, as if they had never had any discord before.——I don''t know that the appearance of the empresses and queens is such a


    hypocritical and perfunctory appearance; what is even more shocking to me is


    that their contradiction is actually inseparable from Kuang Xihan.This also means that my playing career on thin ice has added a lot of


    difficulties.There was a palm on my forehead, so light that I could hardly feel it. After


    the warmth that touched and went, I heard an inaudible sigh.Kuang Xiqing tucked the quilt for me, and then left.My thoughts were a little confused, and all kinds of thoughts were fighting in


    my mind. I didn''t know how long I had to endure. I couldn''t support it, and I


    squinted for a while.I woke up the next morning and was told that Kwong Xiqing had gone to court


    and did not want to spend more time in this crisis-ridden palace. I skipped


    breakfast, and hurriedly took the attendants and guards back to the house.


    Naturally, it also includes Jiang Zhuo.After all, I have not been able to return her the position of guard and the


    beautiful future, which should belong to her, and I don''t know if this guilt


    will still disappear.However, when I thought of being able to get along with her again, a faint joy


    rose in my heart, which actually dilutes the feeling of guilt.Back to Lingwang Mansion, Yan Ke had been at the door for a long time. Seeing


    me coming back, the expression of gratification was overwhelming. When I held


    my hand with such strength, I almost broke my wrist; and I caught a glimpse of


    Jiang Zhuoshi’s who came back with me. The dissatisfaction was also


    overwhelmed by the joy that I was able to return safely, but frowned slightly,


    but didn''t say much.Everyone went back to rest and recuperate, but I was hurriedly pulled away by


    Yan Ke. Before I could say a word with Jiang Zhuo, I could only watch her run


    away."His Royal Highness, I got news that an assassin appeared at the palace


    banquet, and you rescued the emperor in desperation... But really?" Back to


    the sleeping hall, before I sat down to catch my breath, she couldn''t wait to


    ask.Regardless of drinking water, I had to talk to her about what happened at the


    palace banquet and afterwards, but the entanglement between the assassin and


    the two servants before the appearance of the assassin was hidden-although I


    really want to know What kind of grievances Kwong Xihan has with them, but I


    also understand that this matter can only be found in the future, and it is


    not suitable to ask Yan Ke directly."In this way, this assassin is very likely the emperor sent someone to ambush


    early. If it weren''t for the quick response of the guardian Jiang, your safety


    would not be known!" I don''t know what Kwong Xiqing has done before, and it


    has provoke Yan Yan. Ke, with such a heavy guard, baselessly asserted that any


    of her behavior can be linked to a conspiracy, making people dumbfounded."This...maybe." It''s just that, I still remember that Kuang Xiqing couldn''t


    hide the panic in the eyes when the assassin was in trouble, and the shock and


    movement when I protected her afterwards, it''s not like deliberately


    pretending-if it really is. Her disguise, I can only say that this woman''s


    acting skills have reached the point where it is so perfect that the


    authenticity is difficult to distinguish. Even if she was deceived, I would


    recognize it."I know, Your Highness, you certainly don''t want to believe that the emperor


    is harmful to your heart. Instead, you will feel that I have a prejudice


    against her." When she said that I was in my mind, I could only smirk and try


    to confuse the past-she hum He laughed, half helpless, half pampering: "I


    won''t say much, let''s just wait and see."I didn''t answer the question, just took the teapot on the table and poured two


    cups of tea, pushed one cup to her, and took the remaining cup and sipped it


    slowly.——Yes, let''s just take a look.No matter how she repeatedly emphasized, at least so far, I will not believe


    it until there is no conclusive evidence.When she and I both bowed our heads to taste tea and were silent, the sudden


    sound of the announcement made me almost choked by the tea: "Prince, the


    imperial decree is here!"——It didn’t take long for me to leave the palace, how come the imperial edict


    came down?Is there something that I can’t send someone to pass on before I leave the


    palace, and I have to go back to the palace to announce it?Looking at this situation, it should have just ended in the early days...


    Could it be the reward for saving the driver last night?Could it be that you suddenly remembered my involvement with Xu Guijun, and


    you want to blame me?The latter conjecture made me anxiously put aside the tea cup, waiting for


    someone to approach.It was still the long-faced female officer Hu who came to give the decree last


    time; because I met her before, I no longer deliberately put on a cold face,


    but nodded towards her and sat in the same position as before. Tell her to


    read.She did not hold the bright yellow silk in her hand. Instead, she cleared her


    throat and said solemnly: "The Holy Sovereign Oral, the King Ling has


    meritorious service, and the special reward is a thousand taels of gold, a


    thousand taels of silver, 20 dendrobes of East Sea pearls, and jade belt Ten


    mates, and-thirty beauties. Congratulations to His Royal Highness Ling Wang."Although I guessed that there would be a reward, I never expected it to be


    such a reward anyway.Fortunately, I had just put down the tea cup in my hand, so I wouldn''t lose my


    attitude on the spot. However, with the slightly flattering smile of the


    female officer Hu and Yan Ke''s teasing eyes, I found it difficult to accept


    the order of gratitude nonchalantly.——Never mind the gold and silver jewelry, what happened to the thirty


    beauties?
