When Shen Nian heard Xia Tian's question, he took a few quick steps and replied when he got to the front, "It's under control for the time being."
When he saw the dead body lying on the ground, his heart skipped a beat, "Is the emperor okay?"
He didn't expect these people to come over here. If anything happens, he will regret it to death.
"I'm fine." The emperor responded calmly.
Shen Nian didn't dare to go to the front anymore and just stayed here to guard.
After a while, Captain He also came over, and everyone realized that those people had been dealt with.
It’s a pity that no one was left alive.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the incident was resolved.
The adults then felt their legs go weak. After tossing and turning for half the night, they no longer cared about their image and just sat down on the ground.
Captain He arranged for people to patrol the area carefully twice to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
Only after ensuring that it was really safe did we let everyone move to the tent.
Xia Tian followed Doctor Xu and Doctor Zhang to treat the injured.
Mu Feng and Muchen followed her.
Shen Nian stayed behind to protect the emperor.
Captain He led his men to carefully examine the assassins, collect useful information, and keep anything that could be used as evidence to facilitate future investigation into who sent people to assassinate the emperor.
After all the inspections were completed, they began to bury the bodies.
The emperor did not go to the tent to rest, but insisted on looking around the place where the fight had just taken place.
Chen Nian followed the emperor, and several adults did not dare to rest. They all followed the emperor, watching and shaking their heads, wondering who was so desperate that he wanted to assassinate the emperor.
In the years since the emperor came to the throne, Da Gan has been peaceful and prosperous, without any major natural disasters or man-made disasters. Logically, it should not have encountered such blind people.
But looking at the corpses on the ground, I have to believe that there are indeed people who are unwilling to die.
The emperor turned around with a gloomy face, asked people to take good care of the injured soldiers, and then returned to the tent.
It wasn't until dawn that the aftermath work was completed.
Everyone was exhausted and rested for half a day before setting off again.
The team, which originally had 200 people, suddenly lost 80 people, and dozens of people were injured.
The missing ones were mainly soldiers, and most of the injured were royal guards.
Everyone felt a little heavy-hearted, but they couldn't delay any longer and had to hurry on their way.
With still five or six days' journey ahead, Captain He didn't want to alert the local officials and was afraid of another accident on the way, so he sent people to the nearest city to call for reinforcements and escorted them all the way back to Beijing.
After returning to Beijing, the emperor's first thing was to send people to investigate the assassination.
Xia Tian and Shen Nian also returned to Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
After being away for a month, I still feel comfortable at home when I return to Jinglanyuan.
"Madam, you're back!" Ningxiang and the others gathered around her when they saw her come back.
When Cuiyun and Cuiling saw her come back, they couldn't help but shed tears.
"What happened?" Xia Tian saw the two of them crying, and his heart was worried, so he asked quickly.
Could this be something that happened while she was away for a month?
It would have been fine if she didn't ask, but as soon as she did, the two of them started sobbing, and Ningxiang, Ningxue and the others also started wiping their tears.
During this period of time, they have been worried and cautious, for fear that Liu would find something to hold against them again.
Xia Tian saw that they were just crying and no one was talking, which made her anxious. "What happened? Did someone bully you?"
"Madam, we are happy to see you back." Ningxiang wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile.
She didn't want to cause trouble for Xia Tian, so she thought of simply not telling her.
In order to avoid conflict with the Liu family, their wives would suffer losses.
After all, she is the marquis' wife and the mistress of the house. If you want to find fault with her, it's easy!
Ningxiang wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but Ningxue disagreed.
"Madam, after you left, the Marquis's wife found fault with Cuiling and beat her with a stick, almost killing her."
"Ningxue!" Ningxiang sighed, "The Madam just came back. Don't you think this will cause trouble for her?"
"It's okay." Xia Tian waved his hand. "Tell me in detail, what happened?"
Ningxue then recounted in detail what happened that day from beginning to end.
After hearing this, Xia Tian's face darkened. Fortunately, the Second Madam came to help, otherwise it would be hard to say.
Fortunately, she knew Liu's character and asked the second lady for help in advance.
"Fortunately, there are the medicines left by my wife." Ningxiang sighed thankfully.
"Cui Ling, come here and let me see." Xia Tian pulled Cui Ling over, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and then lifted up her clothes to take a look.
The wounds on his body had already scarred, and some of the scars had fallen off, revealing pink skin.
It was uncomfortable for Xia Tian to see. If it weren't for her, Liu would never have found fault with these girls.
"Okay, stop crying. Your wife will definitely help you vent your anger. Don't worry!" Xia Tian comforted them.
I have already figured out what to do!
"Madam, don't be impulsive. It's okay if we suffer a little injustice. Don't let them cause trouble for you again." Ningxiang quickly advised.
She was afraid that Xia Tian would get impulsive and go directly to Liu to avenge them, and then be punished by Liu. After all, she was the elder, and if their lady, as a daughter-in-law, caused trouble for her mother-in-law, people would find out and gossip.
It’s not worth it to damage their wives’ reputation again!
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Xia Tian told the girls not to worry about her.
This time, I went out hoping to relax or something, but ended up encountering either plague or assassination, and almost lost my life.
After traveling all the way back, she was a little tired.
