Chapter 584 I'm Here to Find You
After the emperor was assassinated and injured, Concubine Xian, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Ning decided to take turns to serve the emperor after consultation.
Tonight happened to be Concubine Hui's turn.
Originally, Concubine Hui wanted to take her son to serve the emperor, so she took the opportunity to let her son have a sense of presence in front of the emperor.
But think about it.
Waiting is not an easy job, she can work hard on her own, there is no need to let her son suffer along with it.
In the end, it was because she was reluctant.
In order to find out the real culprit behind the assassination, the emperor cleaned the entire Guards.
Especially those imperial guards who were supposed to be standing guard near the city tower, but were temporarily transferred away, were ordered to be executed by the emperor, and none of them remained.
Even the commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guard was denounced.
As a result, the position of the commander of the Guards was vacated.
The emperor chose from a group of generals, and finally chose Xiao Lingfeng, a general of Zhongwu, to take over the position.
When Concubine Hui came to Weiyang Palace, she happened to see Xiao Lingfeng walking out of the bedroom.
Xiao Lingfeng had just obtained the official position of commander of the Imperial Guards, and when he was in high spirits, he saw Concubine Hui coming, and immediately stopped and cupped his hands.
"I will meet the concubine Hui at the end."
Concubine Hui was not familiar with him, she just nodded slightly and passed him by.
Early the next morning, Xiao Lingfeng changed into a new official uniform and took office.
Although the position of commander of the Imperial Guard is only a fourth rank, he is a close minister of the emperor, and he is in charge of the safety of the emperor. People who are not trusted by the emperor cannot hold this important position.
But everyone knows that Xiao Lingfeng's eldest daughter is the concubine of the crown prince, and he should be considered a member of the prince's faction.
At this time, the emperor reused Xiao Lingfeng, and his intentions were very difficult to understand.
Said he wanted to abolish the prince, right? But he reused people from the Prince's faction.
Said he wanted to keep the prince, right? But he still refused to call the prince back.
Everyone sighed inwardly.
You are really unpredictable!
Luo Yechen went to the Dingbeihou Mansion with gifts and an imperial physician.
"Master Hou, these are the herbs and supplements that Concubine Hui asked me to give to Miss Bu. There are not many things, but they are all good for the injured and they are all carefully selected by Concubine Hui. , I hope you accept it."
Duke of Dingbei: "Concubine Hui has been bothered, please thank the lord for me."
Luo Yechen: "I also brought an imperial doctor who is good at treating trauma and fractures, can I show him to Miss Bu?"
"I'm worried about Lord Lao, please come with me."
Ding Beihou personally led the way, leading the imperial physician and Luo Yechen to the backyard.
It stands to reason that Luo Yechen, as a foreigner, can't enter the backyard of Hou's mansion casually, but he is Bu Shengyan's fiancé, and he is also half of Hou's mansion, so it doesn't hurt to let him see Bu Shengyan.
Because of the injury, Bu Shengyan looked much weaker than usual, his face was very pale, his right leg was sandwiched by a wooden board, and his body was wrapped in thick gauze.
She was lying on the bed, receiving treatment from the imperial doctor.
The diagnosis given by the imperial doctor is similar to that of the government doctor.
Bu Shengyan's right leg was fractured, and her back was scratched by an arrow. Although it was not fatal, she had to rest in peace.
After the imperial doctor left the prescription, he was politely invited to the next ear room to rest.
Marquis Dingbei didn't leave, he just stood beside him.
Although his daughter is already engaged to Luo Yechen, but the two have not been officially married, they are not a real couple.
For the sake of his daughter's reputation, he couldn't allow her to stay in the same room with Luo Yechen alone.
Luo Yechen is not very good at caring about others, he was awkward for a while before he could say a word.
"Does your injury still hurt?"
Bu Shengyan's expression is also not very comfortable: "It doesn't hurt much anymore."
Luo Yechen said: "That, that's good."
After a while he continued.
"Thank you for saving me before."
Speaking of this, Bu Shengyan was angry, she sneered.
"Even without me, you can't die, anyway, you have golden silk soft armor to protect you."
Luo Yechen laughed dryly: "The soft gold armor can only protect my body, but not my head and limbs. If those assassins cut my head, even if I wear ten pieces of soft gold armor, it is useless."
These words made Bu Shengyan feel better.
She wanted to ask about the resignation, but considering that her father was standing beside her, she couldn't open her mouth, so she could only look down at the patterns on the quilt.
That focused look, as if to see a hole in the embroidery on the quilt.
Luo Yechen helped convey Concubine Hui's gratitude to Bu Shengyan.
Bu Shengyan answered absentmindedly twice.
Seeing that she was sick and lacking in energy, Luo Yechen said wisely, "You take good care of your injury, I'll go first, and I'll come to see you in two days."
That afternoon, Luo Yechen went to the imperial mausoleum.
The imperial mausoleum is remote and deserted, and few people usually come here.
Luo Yechen has only been here once.
When the late emperor died, he followed a large group of people here to cry for the late emperor. At that time, he was still young, and the picture of the emperor's tomb in his memory was already blurred.
Luo Yechen said to Yu Linwei, who was guarding the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.
"Where are the prince and Concubine Xiao? Take me there."
One of Yulinwei led Luo Yechen inside, and they stopped at the entrance of Jingxin Garden.
Yu Linwei went in to report, and only after obtaining the consent of the prince did Luo Yechen go in.
In the yard, Xiao Xixi was sitting under the porch feeding the cat.
After days of feeding, the feral cats have gradually lowered their vigilance against her. At this time, several feral cats are burying their heads in the bowl of food.
Among them, the orange cat has the most rounded body and eats the most.
Xiao Xixi reached out and stroked the orange cat, feeling very happy.
Seeing a stranger entering the yard, the feral cats immediately stopped eating, took two steps back, and assumed an alert posture.
Only the orange cat did not move, and was still concentrating on eating.
Xiao Xixi casually said while stroking the cat: "Is the prince here to find the prince? He is in the room, you can go in by yourself."
Luo Yechen stood in front of her: "I'm here to find you."
Xiao Xixi was surprised.
"What are you looking for from me?"
Luo Yechen coughed lightly and said pretendingly.
"Didn't you say you owe me a favor? I just have something I need your help here."
Xiao Xixi motioned for him to come and listen.
Luo Yechen looked around and made sure that the prince was not nearby, so he lowered his voice and said to her.
"Bu Shengyan was injured in order to save me, she has to stay at home recently to recuperate, and it is not convenient to go out.
I was afraid that she would be bored after staying for a long time, so I wanted to give her some text books so that she could pass the time.
I don't know much about what text books you women like to read, so I would like to ask you for your opinion. "
He remembered Xiao Xixi's unique taste, and hurriedly emphasized it again.
"The protagonist must be a human, must be a man and a woman, and it is best not to have too sensual plots!"
Xiao Xixi said with a bitter face: "Your requirements are too high, right? After being screened by you like this, then I have nothing to read."
Luo Yechen: "..."
