Chapter 18: One wave after another



"The time is not right yet, don't be so impulsive." Nangong Jing said, as if to comfort a furry cat, and gently patted Lin Jiuxi's back, "I know you hate her to the core, and when the time is right, I will leave her to you to deal with."

It was rare for Nangong Jing to use the word "king" in front of her nowadays. With such a promise, Lin Jiuxi couldn't make things difficult for him anymore. She forced herself to take a deep breath and finally calmed down.

What Nangong Jing said was right. The time is not yet ripe. She and Nangong Jing are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If either of them jumps, the rope will shake. If it is shaken well, the rope will shake higher and higher. Otherwise, they will be crushed to pieces.

Rong had not yet received any news from the assassin, but he already had some guesses in his mind. He secretly cursed the man as a waste, but he didn't know what to do.

But after the court session that day, a strange news happened in the world.

The emperor ordered Nangong Jing to lead the army to garrison southern Xinjiang. What a joke! Everyone knows that Prince Duan is blind and a useless person. Asking him to guard southern Xinjiang is a ridiculous thing.

When Nangong Jing heard the news, he just found it funny. After the assassination attempt failed that day, the emperor actually came up with such a trick. A blind man leading the troops really didn't worry about chilling the hearts of people all over the world.

"Please give your orders, my master." Jiu Lao stood obediently in place, his eyes falling on Lin Jiuxi, as if he had just seen this legendary crazy princess for the first time, and was slightly surprised.

Nangong Jing's face suddenly changed when he heard this, as if he didn't want to mention it. He pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, please don't mention it. That lunatic just committed a crime yesterday and is now locked up in the room. I didn't want to disturb your majesty, so I didn't let her out."

"Prince Duan is injured, please stop being polite." The emperor's tone was extremely concerned, but he was also certain that Nangong Jing could not see, and his face was full of disgust. The look he gave on Nangong Jing was filled with indescribable nastiness.

Nangong Jing raised his lips slightly in sarcasm when he heard this, his eyes were extremely gloomy, and after a long while, he finally uttered a sentence word by word: "He is crazy himself, and since he sits on the throne too comfortably, I will push it away with my own hands."

"I heard that someone dared to assassinate the prince last night, so I came here to see if Prince Duan is okay." The emperor narrowed his eyes as he spoke, as if to confirm whether the wound on his hand was real. The guard who supported Nangong Jing was also extremely careful in his movements, so he believed it about 70% of the time.

Before saying the word emperor, Lin Jiuxi paused slightly. If it wasn't inappropriate at the moment, she would have added it before those two words even if she had used up all the words.

Lin Jiuxi understood what he said. The assassin sent by Rong family was naturally the best excuse. Since Rong family wanted to show their loyalty to the emperor, let the emperor experience it.

"Jiu just came back from Liuzhou yesterday. I had no choice but to not see you." Nangong Jingjing saw Lin Jiuxi's confusion and smiled helplessly. The girl felt unfair.

Nangong Jing laughed out loud when he heard this. The young man's voice was clear and pleasant to the ear: "It's just that I'm sleepy and I'm handing you the pillow."

"Dove." Nangong Jing suddenly made a sound, and a young man suddenly appeared in the dark, which scared Lin Jiuxi. He secretly sighed that he was worthy of being Nangong Jing. The secret guards under his command were so elusive and frightening.

"Where is Prince Duan's new bride now?" The emperor did not get off the sedan chair after all, as if he particularly enjoyed looking down at Nangong Jing from such a high position.

I was afraid it wasn't because of his injury, but because I wanted to see why he didn't die.

"I want to see if Nangong Jing is injured!" The brush made of top-grade wolf hair was broken by him in this way. The eunuchs and palace maids beside him lowered their heads repeatedly and dared not say a word.

"The Emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's long cry was really too sharp. Lin Jiuxi heard roughly what he said in the house, but she was a "madman" now, so it was better for her not to go out.

Nangong Jing looked pale and extremely weak, the bandage on his arm was still bleeding. He seemed to be unable to see where the emperor was, and only bowed when he was helped over by the guards beside him: "Your Majesty."

Lin Jiuxi just nodded slightly after hearing this, not dwelling too much on Jiu's matter: "What are your plans going to be after this, Your Majesty? Should you just reject the Emperor openly?"

These days, thanks to the emperor's ignorant attitude, half of the civil and military officials are now on his side.

"Of course." Nangong Jing smiled faintly, picked up the pen and began to write a memorial to shirk the responsibility. The gorgeous words made Lin Jiuxi dumbfounded. The writing was full of twists and turns, long and boring. In the final analysis, it was just one sentence: I am injured and will not go.

Lin Jiuxi originally thought that all the secret guards in the mansion knew her, but unexpectedly there were still a few she had never seen before.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Nangong Jing smiled slightly. This was not the first time he had such hypocritical conversations with the emperor. However, he had never expected that the emperor would come to see him in person.

"Go spread the news outside and say that I was ambushed and injured." As soon as Nangong Jing finished speaking, Jiu disappeared.

The next day, after the emperor received the memorial, his expression changed again and again. How did the assassin come by chance? He issued an imperial decree not long ago, and Prince Duan was assassinated last night? I'm afraid it was intentional to shirk the trip to Southern Xinjiang.

"Is the emperor crazy?" Lin Jiuxi was extremely surprised when he heard this. Nangong Jing has not yet made it clear to the public that his eyes have almost recovered. The emperor's move at this time is really absurd.

After all this, it was basically confirmed that Nangong Jing was injured. The emperor returned to the palace, and the memorials and files on the desk were swept all over the floor.

The emperor was furious. How could the people in the hall dare to stand? They knelt down and asked the emperor to calm down.

"Send someone to investigate who has ruined my plans!" The emperor had a gloomy expression on his face. The chessboard in his hand was loose, and he could clearly block Nangong Jing, but there was a gap somewhere, allowing him to escape.

He had already sacrificed his reputation to kill Nangong Jing. Now something unexpected happened. Not killing Nangong Jing was a small matter, but the people in the court were unstable. Now the officials in the court have turned against him one after another, and he can't afford to be tossed around again.

Inside the palace, Lin Jiuxi laughed at Nangong Jing's evil heart, knowing that the dog emperor had seen her talking nonsense, otherwise he wouldn't be so afraid of her.
