Chapter 579 We Are All Family
Bu Sheng was furious and punched him in the chest again.
Luo Yechen screamed: "You hit me again!"
Bu Shengyan: "Who told you to deserve a beating?"
Luo Yechen was so angry.
He had never seen such a fierce woman who would hit him at any time.
Soon, news of the emperor's assassination spread around the moat.
The people were all frightened. No one paid attention to the dragon boat race anymore. They all looked up at the high city wall.
Due to the distance, they could not see the specific situation in the tower clearly and could only see swaying figures through the window.
Suddenly someone was pushed out of the window, fell from the top of the city wall, hit the ground, and blood splattered immediately!
The people were so frightened that they screamed and retreated in panic.
Mei Guangtao ordered his men to disperse the onlookers, seal off the scene, and increase security.
The patrol officers and imperial guards have rushed to the city wall to rescue the emperor.
Xiao Xixi and Pei Qianhuo were sitting in the teahouse watching the dragon boat race when they suddenly saw a commotion among the crowd near the moat.
When they were wondering, they saw a lot of people running past the teahouse, some of them shouting as they ran.
"This is terrible! Someone is trying to assassinate the emperor!"
Everyone in the teahouse was startled and ran out, craning their necks to look in the direction of the city wall.
Xiao Xixi felt nervous. The prince was staying with the emperor. If the emperor was assassinated, the prince would definitely be in danger as well.
She quickly paid the bill and hurried out.
Pei Qianhuo quickly followed: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Xixi: "Go find the prince."
Pei Qianhuo was just bored and planned to follow her to see what was going on.
The two men walked through the anxious crowd and quickly approached the city wall.
The area below the city tower had been surrounded by the imperial guards, and the common people were isolated and unable to get close.
Xiao Xixi and Pei Qianhuo mingled among the onlookers, looking curiously toward the top of the city wall.
The battle inside the city wall has ended, and the bodies of assassins are being carried down one after another.
Pei Qianhuo whispered, "From the looks of it, the assassin probably didn't succeed."
Xiao Xixi didn't care about the assassin's life or death, she just wanted to know how the prince was doing now?
She had already told the prince about her fortune in her mind.
The hexagram shows that the prince is safe.
But she couldn't feel completely at ease until she saw the prince in person.
Pei Qianhuo noticed her anxious look and couldn't help asking, "Are you too concerned about the prince?"
Xiao Xixi replied absentmindedly.
"I am his concubine. If he dies, I will be buried with him. Of course I have to care about his safety."
Pei Qianhuo was half-believing and half-doubting: "Is that so?"
At this time, a carriage stopped under the city wall.
The two imperial doctors got off the carriage and hurried up to the city wall.
Someone in the crowd recognized that the two men were wearing the uniforms of imperial physicians and discussed it in a low voice.
"Why is the imperial physician here? Could it be that someone is injured?"
"With so many assassins, it's normal for some to get hurt!"
“You don’t know who the injured person is?”
…
They soon found out who was injured.
It turned out to be the emperor!
He was carried down from the city wall and helped into the carriage.
Because of the distance between them and the fact that there were many people around the emperor, Xiao Xixi couldn't see where he was injured. She could only see that his face was very pale and it looked like he was seriously injured.
The Queen Mother was not injured, but was quite frightened. She walked unsteadily and needed someone to support her.
She was helped into the carriage.
The other concubines, princes and princesses also had to return to their respective carriages.
The convoy drove back to the palace in a grand manner.
Only the prince did not leave.
The emperor has not summoned him back to the palace, so he has to stay in the imperial mausoleum.
Luo Qinghan stood there, watching the emperor's carriage gradually go away, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and saw Xiao Xixi in the crowd.
Xiao Xixi also saw him.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, Xiao Xixi could finally put her mind at ease.
Luo Qinghan pointed in the direction of the teahouse.
Xiao Xixi understood what he meant.
She turned and walked towards the teahouse, and after taking two steps she realized that there was someone missing.
She looked back and saw Pei Qianhuo still standing there.
"You're losing money, why don't you leave?"
Pei Qianhuo's mouth twitched: "Don't call me a money-loser!"
He paused and said, "I won't go with you."
Xiao Xixi: "Why? Didn't you agree to switch to the prince's side?"
Pei Qianhuo: "I need to think about this matter again."
Xiao Xixi knows the principle of knowing when to stop, because pushing too hard will only make people rebellious.
"Okay, take your time to think about it. You can come to me anytime when you're done. I'm leaving now."
"Wait a moment," Pei Qianhuo stepped forward and handed over a colorful bracelet. "You should wear this kind of bracelet on the Dragon Boat Festival. It can ward off evil spirits and avoid misfortunes. I made it myself. I'm giving it to you."
Xiao Xixi took the colorful bracelet and put it on her wrist.
Perfect size.
She turned her wrist and asked with a smile.
"You came to see me today, could it be that you wanted to give me this bracelet?"
Pei Qianhuo asked back: "Why else do you think I suddenly came to you? Just to drink tea with you?"
Xiao Xixi: "Do you have any more bracelets like this? Give me another one."
Pei Qianhuo: "Isn't one enough for you?"
Xiao Xixi said coquettishly: "I want to give the prince a bracelet. I can't make it myself. Brother, you have good skills. Can you give me another one?"
Pei Qianhuo said unhappily.
"I gave you the bracelet because you are my junior sister. The prince and I have no relationship, so why should I make a bracelet for him?"
Xiao Xixi: "He is my husband, and your brother-in-law, we are all family."
Pei Qianhuo was speechless. What the hell is a "junior brother-in-law"? He had never heard of it!
He raised his hand and pinched his junior sister's face hard.
"He and I are not family!"
Xiao Xixi tried her best to save her face and advised earnestly.
"I'm planning this for your sake! If you switch jobs to the prince in the future, he will be your boss and you will have to make a living under him. Don't you want to gain his favor in advance? As the saying goes, if the prince accepts your bracelet, he might be able to take extra care of you in the future."
Pei Qianhuo said in a noble and cold manner: "I make a living by my own ability, I don't do these unorthodox methods."
Xiao Xixi muttered softly: "I can tell from your appearance that you have never experienced the harshness of society. You won't even seize the opportunity that comes to you. You will suffer in the future."
Pei Qianhuo was too lazy to pay attention to her and waved his hand: "I'm leaving."
When Xiao Xixi returned to the teahouse, she saw that the prince's carriage had stopped next to the teahouse.
She immediately got into the carriage.
Luo Qinghan was sitting upright in the carriage. When he saw her come in, he asked expressionlessly.
"Who was the man who was standing and talking with you and touching you just now?"
Please give me a monthly ticket~~
