Chapter 167 Princess and Guard 2
Yan Qing woke up from his coma.
The pain was severe all over my body, especially in my abdomen where the injury was severe. My head felt dizzy, as if I had been exposed to the scorching sun all day.
It was dark in the tent and he was not yet fully awake, so he could not tell whether it was night or day.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to reach for the sword that I usually kept at my side.
However, his arms were limp, as if they were tied with iron lead. He struggled to find his sword, but he did not find it. Instead, he grasped a small hand that was soft, warm, and as smooth as silk.
The palm of his hand was rough from holding the sword for many years. He closed his eyes and rubbed the hand subconsciously. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes again. His vision gradually became clearer. He looked in the direction of the arm and saw the little princess' head lying on the couch, as if she was asleep.
He couldn't sleep well, sobbing from time to time, and it was obvious that he had cried a lot before going to bed.
Yan Qing's life was chosen by Xiao Nanxi.
Yan Qing belongs to the little princess.
The princess shed tears for him.
The high and mighty princess shed tears for a lowly shadow guard.
Yan Qing pulled out the princess's hand and tried to sit up. He really wanted to see what the little princess looked like when she cried for him.
However, as soon as he moved, Xiao Nanxi suddenly woke up.
I stood up suddenly and saw Yan Qing sitting up with difficulty.
"Yan Qing!"
Her eyes and nose were red from crying, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of concern and worry, which made people feel heartbroken.
It turns out that the little princess looked so beautiful when she cried for him.
It was dark in the tent, and Yan Qing allowed his gaze to caress the little princess's cheek inch by inch.
When Yan Qing met the princess, she was only six years old.
There was no palace maid by her side. She was holding a small lantern and excitedly squeezed into the crowd. She had two buns on her head with two yellow silk strings on them, which fluttered as she ran.
He was humming a tuneless little song, and was so happy that he seemed to be flying to the moon in heaven.
He stopped her.
Robbery.
The innocent little princess gave him the most valuable jade pendant on her body, "Little brother, you are very good-looking, but too thin. I have no money, so I give this to you to buy meat."
Then, people in the palace found him out, and Concubine Shu wanted to beat him to death, but the little princess saved his life, and he became the little princess's dog.
Yan Qing likes to be the princess's dog.
The evil spirit was watching over her fiercely, and no one could harm her.
The little princess was not at peace. He had met her outside the palace because someone had deliberately led her out of the palace.
Just like the assassin he encountered this time, there is someone who is always unwilling to let his princess go.
Yan Qing's face was pale, and his originally strong eyebrows and eyes became even deeper in the dim tent. He looked like a wild beast waiting to hunt at any time, rather than a seriously injured patient.
Xiao Nanxi originally wanted to cry non-stop, but after being stared at by Yan Qing for half a day, she could not cry anymore. She pointed at Yan Qing's abdomen, her voice soft and a little hoarse.
She said, "Yan Qing, your stomach doesn't hurt anymore."
Yan Qing lowered his head, and only then did he see clearly that he was naked below his abdomen.
The lower part of his body where he was stabbed by the sword was now wrapped in layers of gauze, perhaps to facilitate the changing of the dressing, or for some other reason. In short, Yan Qing was not wearing any pants at the moment, not even a pair of underwear.
He was only wearing a loose undergarment on his body.
The collar was open, revealing his well-defined muscles.
Just now, in order to sit up, the quilt slid down to his waist...
All at a glance.
Yan Qing pulled up the quilt calmly and lay down.
But inexplicably, a line that the little princess had forced him to recite came to his mind: "Woman, are you satisfied with what you see?"
Xiao Nanxi walked out of the tent and quickly came back holding a candlestick.
Her eyes were still swollen and her face was red.
Seeing Yan Qing lying with his head facing inward, he asked softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? The doctor said that you just woke up, so you should eat something light."
"I understand. Your Highness, please go back. It is getting late."
The voice was cold and without any emotion.
"My mother allowed me to stay here," Xiao Nanxi refused to leave. "Do you want to eat the porridge first or take the medicine first?"
"I am sleepy and want to take a nap first."
He still refused to turn his head.
Xiao Nanxi sat down and stared at Yan Qing's angular profile. He said clearly, "I saw you there when I was a child. You don't have to be embarrassed."
So quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a while.
Yan Qing's dry voice came over, and he asked, "Where did you see me?"
Speaking of which, Yan Qing had read a lot of those messy novels during the years he followed Xiao Nanxi, many of which contained obscene words, but they were ultimately just empty talk.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Xiao Nanxi wanted to pull him back, but she was afraid of hurting his wound with her clumsy hands, so she had no choice but to stand up and lean over his head:
"When you first came to live with me, I saw you changing your pants. I wanted to scare you, but you took off your pants without saying a word and exposed your penis, which scared me instead."
As for Xiao Nanxi, she was overprotected by Concubine Shu and grew up in the deep palace. When it comes to matters between men and women, her biggest understanding comes from storybooks.
It can be seen that most of the men and women in the novels behave abnormally, which leads to her words and deeds being somewhat unusual many times.
For example, at this moment, she stared at Yan Qing's face and stretched out her index finger to fiddle with the tip of his ear, "Yan Qing, your ears are red."
Because she was leaning over, her hair fell on Yan Qing's face and neck, making him feel itchy. He finally turned around.
A pair of stern and cold eyebrows and eyes actually showed a bit of tenderness at this moment.
Xiao Nanxi thought he would be angry or ignore her like the previous times, but he asked her in a low voice:
"Your Highness, have I grown up now?"
…
As the Minister of Dali Temple, Lu Wensheng was ordered to investigate the assassination of Princess Wenshu.
The assassination scene has been investigated and all the assassins are dead.
Yan Qing originally captured one alive, but before he could restrain him, the man had already committed suicide by taking poison.
Xiao Nanxi is a princess of the royal family, but she encounters crises again and again. The dignity of the royal family is violated, and His Majesty is furious and orders a thorough investigation.
When Lu Wensheng went to Prince Jing's mansion, the chief secretary of the mansion said that the prince was busy and avoided him.
Lu Wensheng did not speak much to the Chief Historian. He turned his head to glance at Yan Fei, the guard behind him. Yan Fei's face turned serious and he went straight into the inner study.
The chief secretary complained bitterly behind him. Prince Jing had a bad temper, and he would have to bear the consequences in the future. He turned his head and looked at the Duke of Fuguo, who was still dignified and steady. He stamped his feet, turned around and chased after the guards.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Xun came out from the study with a sullen face and dishevelled clothes.
The first thing he said was a question, "Uncle, instead of going to catch the assassin, you have the leisure to come to Prince Jing's mansion to have fun with me! I'm afraid you are too busy."
He smelled strongly of makeup and alcohol, and one could tell what he was doing when Yan Fei went in to look for someone.
Lu Wensheng's expression remained unchanged, and he turned a deaf ear to Xiao Xun's provocation. His eyes, which usually smiled, were now cold and indifferent. He stared at Xiao Xun and asked softly:
"Am I confused, or are you?"
He even said this with a laughing tone, but no one could ignore his cold and intimidating aura.
The more Lu Wensheng restrained himself, the more flustered Xiao Xun became, and he was even a little scared.
"uncle……"
He calmed himself down and tried to make amends, "What happened? My father has no business to do with me now, I was just...sleeping."
Lu Wensheng looked indifferent, but there were dark waves in his eyes, as if a storm was about to come.
"Are you still in the mood to play with women?"
He asked:
"What would Minister Xu do if he knew you raped his daughter? The Xun family is a noble family, and the princess always behaves properly. Where do you put Princess Jing?"
"You have tortured your siblings, abused your wife, and are cruel, treacherous, and merciless. If His Majesty knows about this, how will you deal with it?"
It was not until this moment that Xiao Xun became truly panicked.
