"I will guard it well and won't let the Crown Prince and Consort lose it."
He Jingheng walked in front of her and smiled: "I really don't know how many things you still don't know."
"There are many more!"
Shang Ruoyi looked at him, with a hint of secret joy in her heart. Perhaps He Jingheng already knew that she was unusual, but he had never asked her about it. During the invasion of southern Xinjiang, she took so many grenades, but he never asked where they came from.
From then on, those ferocious beasts made this place their home. At first, the villagers were scared half to death, but later they heard that these were pets raised by the princes and concubines, specially used to protect everyone's safety. They remembered the scene when they were protected by tigers in the yard that day, and they all felt relieved.
Sometimes, when a child was naughty and ran away, they would chase him back. Sometimes they would go to the mountains to catch some game and send it to the He Mansion. After doing these things, they would wait outside Shang Ruoyi's yard. In everyone's eyes, they wanted the Crown Prince's Consort to pat their heads, but in fact they wanted power. Of course, this was something only they knew.
These past few days, Shang Ruoyi always went out early and came back late. No one knew what she was busy with. Even when He Jingheng asked, she evaded the question.
He Jingheng knew that she had a lot on her mind, so he stopped asking and let her do what she wanted.
That day, Yunqi walked into the study and whispered, "Sir, the 800-mile urgent imperial edict has been delivered, and the imperial envoy has arrived in the county."
"Oh, so what?"
"Mr. Xu is here too."
He Jingheng frowned slightly: "What is he doing here?"
"Maybe he came to see the fun." Yunqi curled his lips. It would be abnormal if Mr. Xu didn't come.
"Where's the Crown Princess?"
"Before dawn, the Crown Princess left with the Iron Feather Guards." He said this with a sullen tone. He was clearly the Crown Princess's secret guard, but she didn't take him with her. Even Ah Da followed her.
He Jingheng knew what he was thinking and rolled his eyes at him. What are you, a secret guard? Wasn't 놖 also left behind?
"The Imperial Envoy has submitted his invitations several times. I wonder if the Crown Prince is willing to summon him?"
"No." He Jingheng sneered, "What does he think Dingguo Palace is? He demoted us when he said so, exiled us when he said so, and now that the smoke of war is everywhere, he feels that he can't do without you, so he finds a reason to reinstate you. Who is he, and who does he think Dingguo Palace is?"
Yunqi concluded that the "he" the prince was talking about was undoubtedly Emperor Shun.
Shang Ruoyi brought the Tieyu Guards to a mountain stream under the cover of night.
"Starting today, for a period of one month, this will be the place where you will be training."
here?
How to train here?
Bai Zhou walked forward: "Princess, I'm afraid this place is not very good." This mountain stream, except for its flat terrain, has no advantages, and there are even some poisonous snakes, insects and ants around it.
"Really?" Shang Ruoyi smiled mysteriously. She pointed at a small purple flower in the distance and said, "Pick it."
"yes."
Bai Zhou had just taken a few steps when he heard a "click" under his feet. The next moment, the scenery in front of him changed, and the little flower had disappeared.
"Swish, swish, swish." Several arrows flew at him. Bai Zhou tapped his feet lightly and his body flew into the air. He thought he had escaped, but unexpectedly, several more arrows were shot at him. One of the arrows grazed his body and flew past, leaving a deep wound on his arm. He thought it was just a skin injury, but he felt dizzy after taking a few steps.
He quickly took an antidote pill and slowly recovered after taking it.
When he returned to his original position, the little flower appeared in front of him again.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
"Crown Princess, this..."
"There are many formations and mechanisms here. Don't underestimate them. Any mistake may put your life in danger." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile: "I will ask the white tiger to bring food here every day. In a month, I will wait for you at the mouth of the mountain stream." She pointed to the passage in the distance and said: "Wait until you pass the passage. I will give you new tasks."
"yes!"
There was a hint of excitement in the eyes of the Iron Feather Guards, and they couldn't help but be eager to try.
Shang Ruoyi gave a few simple instructions and then turned and left.
As soon as I returned to the mansion, I saw Yunqi standing there with a depressed look on his face.
"What are you doing here?"
Hearing Shang Ruoyi's voice, Yunqi came over and whispered, "Crown Princess."
"how?"
"I also want to train with the Iron Feather Guards."
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Train together?"
Looking at his expression, Shang Ruoyi understood: "Okay, since you want to go, let Xiaobai lead the way. But let me be frank. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. There are many traps in the mountain stream. Whether you live or die depends on your own ability."
"Yes! Thank you, Princess."
Just then, He Jingheng came over and glared at Yunqi.
Yunqi, on the other hand, didn't even notice it. He turned around, bowed, and followed Xiaobai away.
"What are you laughing at?" He Jingheng looked at her and said before he left, "You got rid of all the people around me one by one. Now I have no one around me. Do you want me to be your secret guard?"
"How could there be no one?" Shang Ruoyi pointed at a few trees around her and said, "There are nine secret guards under these four trees." She turned to the tree where the three secret guards were squatting and said, "If you don't come down, the branch will break."
Before the three of them could react, they heard a "crack" and the branch broke. Two of them fell from the tree in a very embarrassed manner.
"Look, it's broken!"
Shang Ruoyi had a slightly smug smile on her face. Seeing this, He Jingheng couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her face a few times.
He said in a very low voice: "I know you are unusual, but you have to be more reserved."
What?
Shang Ruoyi's pupils shrank slightly.
"Otherwise it would seem that your husband is too incompetent."
Shang Ruoyi's heart was slightly shocked: "What did you say? Why didn't you understand?"
He Jingheng said nothing, just smiled.
Seeing her face full of vigilance, He Jingheng felt a little sad. It seemed that she still didn't trust him enough.
"Nothing."
Just then, Yun Xiao came over and said, "Sir, the imperial court is here again."
"No." He Jingheng said coldly: "You don't need to report this kind of thing anymore."
"But······"
"But what?" He Jingheng was a little impatient. For some reason, every time he was alone with Shang Ruoyi for a while, all kinds of things would come up in his mind.
"But Master Xu is here too."
Mr. Xu?
What is Xu Zimo following here for?
"What's the matter with Xu Zimo? Don't see him." He Jingheng said coldly, "Tell him to go back."
"What are the court doing here?" Shang Ruoyi asked softly.
