Chen Jingxi bought baby things on this trip, and she couldn't walk anymore when she saw some cute things.
Nanxing is very active and can't let go of these little toys. In one hand, she holds a cowhide rattle, and in the other hand, she holds a lifelike silk doll with a tiger mask on her face. She looks both funny and cute.
Her unique outfit attracted the attention of passersby. A child pointed at Nanxing with sparkling eyes and said in a baby voice to the woman beside him, "Mom, tiger."
When Nanxing heard this, he became playful and playfully yelled "Awooo!" at the child, even baring his teeth and claws.
The frightened child clung to the woman's legs and cried, "Mom, the tiger wants to eat me."
"Okay, you silly boy, the tiger is gone."
After hearing this, the child cautiously stuck his head out, but Nanxing turned around at that moment, and he was so scared that he hugged the woman's legs again.
The woman smiled and shook her head. She gently poked his little head and said in reproach: "Useless thing, a mask scared you like this."
We played and joked along the way, and when we arrived at the theater, the show had already started, but it didn't prevent us from watching it.
Chen Jingxi had someone book a seat in advance, and someone came to guide him as soon as he arrived.
Nan Xing took off the mask as soon as she sat down, and said happily: "Sister Xi, I am so happy to spend this money."
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Chen Jingxi handed her a handkerchief.
The theater was bustling with activity. The actors on the stage danced with their sleeves and sang melodiously, while the audience below cheered continuously.
Chu Jinghuai finished his business and saw that it was still early. Thinking of Chen Jingxi's suggestion of going to the theater, he decided to go pick her up. However, as soon as he left the military camp, a secret guard came to report that Chen Jingxi had been assassinated.
Chu Jinghuai's cold eyes shuddered, and he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. A bloody taste surged up his throat. He looked at the secret guard with a sharp gaze, "What did you say?"
"Prince...Prince...Princess..." The secret guard was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground.
It’s not that he is timid, but Chu Jinghuai looks really scary when he is angry.
The secret guard looked up cautiously, but the person in front of him had disappeared.
The assassination of Chen Jingxi this time was not due to the incompetence of the secret guards, but a carefully planned trap.
The person who planned it used the wandering beggars in the city to set a trap to kill Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi is not a good person, but she has a weakness which is that she has a kind heart towards helpless orphans.
The person who set up the trap knew Chen Jingxi's weakness and let a group of little beggars beg in front of the theater. The waiter wanted to drive them away, but Chen Jingxi stopped them and asked someone to bring them some food.
After a little beggar got the food, he said he wanted to thank Chen Jingxi no matter what. The secret guard thought he was a grateful person, so he went to report to Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi didn't think much about it and asked someone to bring the little beggar in. After the little beggar came in, he kowtowed three times to Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi asked the man to stand up and picked up the dried fruits on the table to hand them to him. After the little beggar stood up, his eyes suddenly became extremely vicious. He took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed Chen Jingxi.
Chu Jinghuai rushed over quickly and saw Chen Jingxi lying on the couch with a pale face and motionless, like a dead person.
His upright body swayed, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his lips. He paused, then strode forward, frantically trying to feel Chen Jingxi's pulse.
At this moment, his whole body was trembling, and his hands were shaking so violently that he couldn't feel his pulse at all. Therefore, he became even more anxious, and a violent look appeared between his brows.
Han Yu saw something was wrong and said hurriedly, "Prince, the princess is fine."
Although the little beggar stabbed Chen Jingxi, he did not hit the vital part, and the little beggar's strength was weak, so the wound was not deep.
However, in order to kill Chen Jingxi, the person behind the scenes poisoned the dagger. After Chen Jingxi was detoxified, he fell into a coma.
After hearing this, Chu Jinghuai finally calmed down and his eyes became clear again. He reached out and touched Chen Jingxi's face, and said in a deep voice: "When will the princess wake up?"
The two doctors kneeling beside him hurriedly said, "Please be at ease, Your Majesty. The princess's poison has been cured. She just had a miscarriage. The young prince in her belly was frightened and fell unconscious."
"I want to ask the princess when she will wake up." Chu Jinghuai said sternly.
The doctor trembled with fear and said quickly, "Reply...Reply Your Majesty, the princess will wake up soon."
As for how late it was, they couldn't say for sure. They had just checked and found that the poison in the princess's wound was the Soul-Breaking Flower. Anyone who was poisoned would die, but the poison had been cured before they arrived.
They had never heard of an antidote for this poison, and they didn't dare ask Prince Su's men how they found the antidote. They could only comfort themselves by thinking that Prince Su was very powerful, and perhaps he had the antidote, but he asked the princess to carry it with her.
Chu Jinghuai picked up Chen Jingxi. The hall was full of people kneeling. When they saw Chu Jinghuai come out, no one dared to move.
Chu Jinghuai said calmly, "Catch all the assassins in Qingzhou City within an hour. If you can't do it..."
"I understand."
Chu Jinghuai glanced at Ling Feng and Ling Ying who were standing in front of him.
The two of them hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Chu Jinghuai snorted coldly, "After this, go and receive a hundred lashes."
"I obey your command." The two men patted each other's shoulders to comfort each other. They were still able to survive after being whipped a hundred times. At the same time, they looked at Han Yu with envy.
Han Yu coughed lightly. There was nothing she could do since she was the princess's person and the prince couldn't deal with her.
After returning to the prefectural government, Chu Jinghuai carefully fed Chen Jingxi the medicine. Although Chen Jingxi was still asleep, his complexion had obviously improved.
Chu Jinghuai's frown relaxed slightly, and his gloomy expression loosened a little.
After Ling Ying came to report that all those with ill intentions in Qingzhou City had been apprehended, Chu Jinghuai slowly stood up and walked out.
In the main hall, Ji Yunzhou, Chu Jingyue and others rushed over after hearing the news, each with a different expression.
Chu Jinghuai glanced at everyone and suddenly flashed in front of Nanxing. He grabbed her neck and said in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
Nanxing felt difficulty breathing, and a weak sound of "I...I..." came out of his throat, but he could hardly form a sentence.
Seeing this, Chu Jingyue hurried forward to dissuade him: "Third brother, she is just a girl, who can she be? Let go quickly, you are almost strangling her to death!"
Han Yu also frowned, "Your Majesty, please show mercy, after all, she was the one who saved the princess."
Chu Jinghuai's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and he finally let go of her hand.
Nanxing started coughing suddenly and his face turned red.
Chu Jinghuai gave her a cold look and said, "Lock her up and let her drink a bowl of blood every half an hour until the princess wakes up."
When Nan Xing heard this, she burst into tears: "I don't want to be bled!"
"Third brother, bullying a little girl like this is not what a real man does."
