Just like the telepathy between lovers, as soon as Ning Xihua thought of him, that person would rush thousands of miles to see her.
She could no longer sit still, and immediately took Huai Liu with her and wanted to go to the city gate to meet him.
But before he walked out of Yu'an Hall, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the door.
Nearly a hundred men in black suddenly appeared near Yu'an Hall and were fighting fiercely with the guards brought by Ning Xihua.
Perhaps this group of people received the news that the assassination attempt had failed and learned that the imperial reinforcements would arrive soon, so they rushed out in full force before the main force arrived, wanting to take her life at all costs.
Huailiu protected Ning Xihua and retreated to a safe place. All the doctors and patients in Yu'an Hall also hid in the corners.
She didn't bring too many guards today, and facing nearly a hundred assassins, she was already at a disadvantage for a while.
Huai Liu saw that the situation was not good, so he warned her, "If they enter Yu'an Hall, I will cover you and rush out. You just need to run to the city gate. The city guards and the master should be able to catch up soon."
Ning Xihua was worried. Yu'an Hall was full of old, weak and sick people. If this group of assassins rushed in, the whole Yu'an Hall would be in danger. Not to mention that Huai Liu wanted to protect her and rush out with his own strength, which would definitely cost him a huge price.
The sound of swords clashing outside the yard was harsh. She tensed up and felt extremely anxious.
With such a big commotion, the city guards and other soldiers distributing supplies should be on their way. Just hold on a little longer, until they get here, we'll be saved!
But the reality was that the guards brought by Ning Xihua fell one after another, and she could already vaguely see the men in black breaking through the encirclement!
Huailiu even bent his body, ready to go.
Soon, the first man in black passed the guards, but as soon as he got in front of Ning Xihua, he was killed by Huai Liu with a sword.
Huai Liu grabbed Ning Xihua's arm and said in a deep voice, "My Lady, be ready. When I tell you to run, you must run forward immediately and don't look back!"
Ning Xihua wanted to cry when she heard this, but she immediately held it back.
The hand holding her arm helped her steady her trembling body. She turned her head to glance at Huailiu's immature but determined face. Her heart was filled with sadness, but her body was ready to run at full speed.
As more and more assassins rushed towards Ning Xihua, the guards at the door could no longer hold on.
Huai Liu grabbed Ning Xihua and rushed into the crowd. Under the cover of the guards, he used a few swords to break through the weakest defense of the men in black and the fewest people, and pushed Ning Xihua out.
"run!"
After saying that, he immediately stopped in front of Ning Xihua and held back the assassin who was about to chase her.
Ning Xihua didn't dare to look back, holding back her tears and running out. She threw away her heavy coat, her soft-soled embroidered shoes, and her delicate hair, but she didn't dare to stop for a moment.
Hurry up! Run faster! The people from Huailiu and Yu'an Hall are still waiting for her!
Fortunately, she had just run less than a kilometer away when she ran into Su Bi, who was riding a horse and leading his troops into the city.
Ning Xihua was so happy that she didn't care about the relationship between her daughter and him at all. She just cried out to Su Bi anxiously.
"Su Bi! Yu'an Hall! Go and save them! Hurry up!"
Seeing her like this, Su Bi knew that the situation was urgent, so he whipped his horse and ran away without saying anything, and the soldiers behind him immediately followed.
Upon notifying that reinforcements had arrived, Ning Xihua let go of the breath he had been holding and fell heavily to his knees exhausted.
The soldiers that Su Bi left behind to protect her immediately surrounded her, fearing that any other accidents might happen.
After a while, she recovered and struggled to get up from the ground.
She ignored the soldiers' advice and continued to limp towards Yu'an Hall.
She had to go back and see for herself what was happening to Huailiu and the people at Yu'an Hall, otherwise she would not be able to rest easy.
The soldiers around her did not dare to help her due to etiquette, so she moved slowly step by step towards Yu'an Hall.
By the time we reached the gate of Yu'an Hall, the battle was over.
The dead bodies of the assassins in black covered the steps in front of the door. The injured guards were rescued one by one, and the whole scene was being handled in an orderly manner.
Su Bi heard the movement and came out. His battle robe was still stained with blood, and he looked like a sword drawn from its sheath, with its sharp edge fully exposed.
At this moment, Su Bi no longer looked like the prince surrounded by orchids and jade trees, with clear breeze and bright moon in the capital, but more like a resolute and sharp general who was invincible in the battlefield.
But Ning Xihua was in no mood to admire his heroic appearance. She just looked at him expectantly.
Su Bi sighed and reached out to smooth her messy hair.
"Huai Liu is fine, he only suffered minor injuries. Everyone in Yu'an Hall is also fine."
Ning Xihua's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down at this moment, and for a moment she felt a little weak.
Su Bi supported her body and saw that one of her shoes was missing, her outer dress was nowhere to be found, and her knees and palms were rubbed raw. She sighed again.
He picked up Ning Xihua and stuffed her into the carriage parked at the door.
"Go back to Ning Mansion and have a good rest. I will take care of the rest."
…
In Ning Mansion, Song Yi was applying medicine to Ning Xihua.
"Princess, you are trying to scare me to death! I haven't been with you for just one day, and something happened to you again!"
Today, Ning Xihua went to visit Huaichuan, and left Song Yi in Ning Mansion to help Qian to screen all the servants and maids.
As a result, her own princess was fine when she left the house, but when she came back, her hair was disheveled and her body was covered with injuries. Wasn't she scared enough?
Ning Xihua was speechless.
The word "又" is used very cleverly.
Thinking about how miserable she had been during this period, "Do you think I should go to a temple to worship?"
Song Yi nodded in agreement, "You should pray and ask the Buddha to protect you from getting hurt again."
"That's not a real injury. I accidentally kneeled on the ground after running too hard. That's the real injury."
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that it was really unlucky for Huaichuan and Huairu to follow her.
"How about I take Huaichuan and Huailiu with me when I go to the temple to pay my respects?"
Song Yi shook her head and carefully bandaged Ning Xihua's wound.
Her princess was still able to find joy and joke in the midst of adversity, which meant that there was really no problem.
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in time." Song Yi was still a little frightened.
Ning Xihua nodded, recalling how Su Bi appeared, and then she sighed belatedly.
"Not only is it timely, it's also pretty cool."
"Who are you talking about?"
Ning Xihua looked up when she heard this and saw Su Bi lifting the curtain and entering.
Song Yi seemed to have become accustomed to the Crown Prince's mysterious behavior of appearing and disappearing without saying hello. She was very sensible and quietly left the room, and considerately closed the door.
Ning Xihua was caught being infatuated with someone behind his back, and felt a little embarrassed.
She quickly changed the subject, "How is Huailiu's injury? Is it serious?"
Su Bi frowned, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and you start by asking me about other men?"
Ning Xihua: …
Boss, have you ever thought about the feeling of nostalgia?
