The emperor had been in a coma for too long and had not yet woken up. Miao Qinghua, together with the concubines in the harem, went to the temple to burn incense and pray to the Buddha, praying that the emperor would wake up soon. She also said that the prince born by Mei'e was a good omen, but the emperor was still in a coma and no one could give the prince a name, so she took the prince to the temple to pray for one.
Wanbang is responsible for accompanying Miao Qinghua to ensure her safety.
Everything sounded innocent, and the princess was transformed into a little prince in the temple.
In the Prince's Mansion, a palace maid came and said that Miao Qinghua wanted Ni Yueshan to go with them.
Miao Qinghua is Ni Yueshan's aunt, but the relationship between them no longer existed when she became the queen.
Qingluan and Qingfeng just felt that it was not a good thing.
Ni Yueshan's expression was solemn. "Excuse me, eunuch, does the Crown Prince know that our mother is traveling?"
"The Crown Prince is very busy. How could the Queen bother him with such a trivial matter? The Queen has her own arrangements. The entourage will be escorted by General Wan. They are absolutely safe!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered, General Wan?
"Wan Yan's father?"
The father-in-law didn't hesitate and immediately said, "That's right!"
Ni Yueshan curled her lips slightly and said, "Okay, Crown Princess, I'll set off right away."
The temple was built outside the city and the journey was remote, so we didn't arrive there until evening.
Jing Yuchen also returned to the Prince's Mansion.
After the servant reported that Ni Yueshan had left the mansion with Miao Qinghua, Jing Yuchen frowned tightly, "Where's Xue'er? Did you ask to take her along?"
"The Crown Princess only brought Qingfeng and Qingluan."
Although Jing Yuchen's brows were still furrowed, his tense nerves had relaxed a lot.
"Saddle the horses!"
At the temple entrance, Miao Qinghua reached out and took Ni Yueshan's hand, saying with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, just call me aunt!"
"Yes, aunt."
Miao Qinghua looked at Ni Yueshan with satisfaction, "The Emperor has been in a coma and hasn't regained consciousness. I'm worried, but I can't do anything. This Defei was originally yours, but now she died in childbirth. It's truly heartbreaking."
As Miao Qinghua spoke, she sighed softly, while Ni Yueshan's eyes shifted slightly and fell on Wanbang who was not far away.
Wanbang killed Qingdie and injured Qingfeng, but this revenge has not been taken yet?
The temple arranged accommodation for the group. When Ni Yueshan entered the bedroom, Qingluan and Qingfeng took the initiative to check the room for Ni Yueshan to see if there was anything suspicious.
Finding nothing, the two reported to Ni Yueshan: "Everything is safe!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered. Miao Qinghua asked her to come here, so she must have a plan, but what was it?
In the second half of the night, the entire temple was extremely quiet and everyone was asleep, but there was a commotion outside.
Qingluan and Qingfeng were more alert and went to find out what was going on.
Soon, Qingfeng returned: "Crown Princess, it seems like they are arresting someone outside... We are here and the Queen's, and the guards are all guarding the door to prevent any assassins."
Ni Yueshan, wearing a cloak, asked suspiciously, "Assassin?"
"An assassin appeared and tried to kill the Queen, and General Wan even chased after him!"
Ni Yueshan found it strange. Someone was planning to assassinate Miao Qinghua? What was the point of killing her? Was it done by one of the other concubines?
Ni Yueshan clenched his fists: "Follow me!"
In a bamboo forest inside the temple, a man's curse could be faintly heard from not far away: "You bastard, you run so fast!"
The man who spoke was wearing armor and holding a big sword in his hand, which was flashing with a cold light, but he had no chance to use it.
He just turned around and saw Ni Yueshan and the other two standing not far away...
His dark face was covered with a beard, with thick eyebrows, sinister eyes, a slightly hooked nose, and a murderous aura. He did not restrain himself at all when he saw Ni Yueshan.
He just asked curiously, "Crown Princess, why are you not sleeping in the bamboo forest at this time of night?"
"I heard that General Wan came here to capture the assassin. I wonder if the general has found anything?" Ni Yueshan smiled faintly, and the look in his eyes became increasingly cold as he looked at him.
Wan Bang had a stern face, holding a big knife, and approached Ni Yueshan step by step.
"With the cover of night and the bamboo forest so vast, the assassin was incredibly agile and disappeared in a flash. Princess, you showed up just in time! Could that assassin be related to you?"
Qing Feng immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you! How dare you slander the Crown Princess!"
Wan Bang showed no fear at all. He only looked at Ni Yueshan with sinister eyes: "Crown Princess, these two maids beside you are really similar to the one named Qingdie."
The hands in Ni Yueshan's sleeves gradually tightened, and the look in his eyes became increasingly cold.
"General Wan has guarded the border for many years, and countless of his men have perished. Yet, you happened to remember a maidservant who served this Crown Princess. This shows that you deliberately lured this Crown Princess here, didn't you?"
Ni Yueshan smiled gently, but her eyes were extremely cold, without any warmth at all.
"Princess, I don't understand what you are talking about!" The big knife in his hand turned slightly, a cold light flowed, and the murderous aura around him became more and more obvious.
Qingfeng and Qingluan protected Ni Yueshan behind them: "Crown Princess, go first!"
But Ni Yueshan insisted on standing still, not moving an inch: "Kill him!"
The faint voice was cold and indifferent, just like her.
Qingluan and Qingfeng received the order, flew forward and attacked.
In the bamboo forest, the two sides fought each other. The sound of the sharp blades clashing was clear and made people's blood boil.
Ni Yueshan took off the hairpin on her head and stared straight at the armored figure in front of her.
Before I took a few steps, I heard a voice behind me: "There's a fight ahead, go check it out!"
Ni Yueshan narrowed his eyes slightly and did not let Qingluan and Qingfeng retreat. Wanbang swung his sword with force, and the sharp edge of the sword passed by. Qingluan and Qingfeng had to retreat a few steps.
Behind them, the guards arrived.
"Crown Princess, General Wan, why are you fighting?"
"Princess Consort, what is your relationship with the assassin? Why did you insist on stopping me when I wanted to chase him?"
Wan Bang opened his mouth and asked a question. To everyone present, it sounded like he was telling them that Ni Yueshan was related to the assassin?
"What a false accusation!" Qing Feng angrily said, but Wan Bang snorted and said in a deep voice: "I won't argue with you little girls. This general will inform the Queen and the Crown Princess. You can explain it yourself!"
As he said this, he took a step forward, not intending to pay any attention to Ni Yueshan.
Qingluan looked at Ni Yueshan anxiously, "Crown Princess, he wants to slander people!"
Ni Yueshan said calmly, "This is just a play they put on."
It’s a pity that Qingfeng and Qingluan, together, failed to kill Wanbang tonight.
Ni Yueshan clenched his fists tightly and followed them back.
Miao Qinghua had stood up because of the noise. She was dressed neatly, and although her hair was not overly decorated, her appearance and image were quite decent.
Seeing Ni Yueshan appear, she immediately asked, "Yueshan, why are your men in the bamboo forest? And why are they fighting with General Wan? General Wan said you deliberately held him back!"
