Chapter 22

In the middle of the night, Feng Qi was woken up by the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. When she opened her eyes, she saw a few black shadows flashing across the window.

"Assassin?" Feng Qi's heart tightened, the emperor couldn't die at this time.

But how to remind them?She was afraid that she would die if she shouted, she looked up and saw the unblown candle, her eyes lit up, she hurried over to take the candlestick to light the curtain, and then ran out crying, "Help...go to the water... ..."

This voice alarmed countless people, and the guards and eunuchs began to bring water to put out the fire.

Feng Qi saw the chief guard next to the emperor, and immediately ran over to grab his arm: "There is an assassin to save the emperor!"

The chief guard was taken aback, no matter it was true or not, the emperor's safety was important, so he nodded and led a few people towards the main hall!

And the assassin in the main hall was ready to assassinate, and the shining long sword had already stabbed the person on the bed.

There was a muffled sound, and the sound of the long sword piercing the flesh made the assassin happy, but the fierce palm wind from the bed curtain swept across the assassin's body like a storm, and the assassin was directly slammed into the wall and slid down.

Swipe... A few black shadows rushed towards him, and the cold light of the long sword seemed to drink blood to kill him at any moment.

"Kill!" The captain of the guard arrived in time, his back was soaked in cold sweat.

The guards were fighting with the assassin, the bed curtain was raised, the emperor was safe and sound, the back of Concubine Xi in his arms was stained red with blood, but she was awake, she gritted her teeth and did not make a sound.

"Catch the living!" The emperor's eagle eyes almost burst into flames!
"Yes!" The chief guard did not dare to stop, drew his sword and rushed towards the assassin.

Seeing that the emperor was fine, those assassins knew that this operation had failed, so they bit the poison sac in their mouths and killed themselves!

"Search!" The emperor looked at the assassin's body and uttered a word coldly.

The head guard was drenched in cold sweat, he groped the assassin himself, and found a jade pendant after a while, he bowed his head respectfully and presented it.

The emperor stroked the jade pendant, and it took a long time before he said, "My good son!"

Concubine Xi's eyes fell on the jade pendant and her heart trembled. The eldest prince's personal jade pendant?

"Your Majesty, is the assassin stupid or the Eldest Prince stupid?" A soft sentence awakened the Emperor immediately.

"Well, tell the imperial doctor!" The emperor put the jade pendant under the quilt unobtrusively.

The imperial doctor rushed to bandage Concubine Xi's wound and stabbed it on the shoulder armor. Fortunately, the bone blocked it and did not pierce it.

Feng Qi had long been standing in the dark watching, she felt that the jade pendant looked familiar, she reached out to touch her chest, and then remembered that it was exactly the same as the one Xuanyuan Yi gave her.

Every prince of the royal family will get a unique jade pendant at birth. Because Xuanyuan Yi is the eldest prince, his jade pendant is a dragon, Xuanyuan Jue's is a unicorn, and the crown prince's is a dragon playing with a phoenix.

At this moment, the main hall is quiet, and the noise from the side hall can be heard clearly.

The emperor asked: "The side hall also has assassins? Where's Qi'er?"

Seeing that the emperor was really worried about her, Feng Qi couldn't help but come out from the dark place: "Grandpa Emperor, Qi'er is fine!"

"It's fine if you have nothing to do, come here quickly!" Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, the emperor picked up a coat and put it on her, and his eyes just fell on the jade pendant on her chest.

Eagle eyes narrowed: "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Feng Qi took out the jade pendant on purpose and she was ready to deal with it: "Brother Yi gave it to me. That day when he saw me crying after being divorced by the third prince, he took out the jade pendant and gave it to Qi'er. The third prince looks good, so I accepted it."

"When did he retire?" The emperor already had some calculations in his heart, this matter is not simple.

Feng Qi said: "On the second day after my father was buried, my father's tomb was destroyed, Qi'er ran to check it out, but the third prince also ran over in a panic, very angry.

Qi'er had nothing at the time, and her aunt took away a lot of her family property, and the rest was buried with her. Qi'er was flustered and brought up the engagement, thinking that if the third prince married Qi'er, then Qi'er would be able to raise her younger sister well. But……"

The emperor took a deep breath and suppressed the unpredictability on his face: "It's all my fault that the emperor's grandfather didn't take you into the palace earlier. Since that bastard regretted the marriage first, you can't marry him again. How about it? Since you accepted Yier Yupei, I will give you Yi Yier to marry you!"

Feng Qi pretended to be shy: "Grandpa the emperor, Qi'er is still young, with the protection of the grandpa the emperor, there is no need for a marriage contract to make a living!"

The emperor smiled and said: "That's it, you keep this jade pendant well, and go to the ear room to have a rest first!"

Feng Qi glanced at the bed worriedly, Concubine Xi drank the medicine and passed out: "Is grandma Huanggu okay?"

The emperor was startled when he heard this title, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, you can stay with her in the palace during her recovery period, okay?"

"Okay, I can cook medicine and porridge, so I'll cook porridge right away, the injured must eat lightly!" Feng Qi knew that she would not be able to leave the palace for a short time, and Concubine Xi's meritorious service in rescuing her would come from her. very safe.

"Okay, filial child, let's go!" The emperor nodded.

Feng Qi left, and the guards were still kneeling.

The emperor got up and took out the jade pendant from under the quilt to have a look. He found that it was an imitation. The dragon on the real jade pendant had nine pieces of big lins, but this jade pendant only had eight pieces. Get over it.

"I ordered you not to enter the main hall, why did you come in?" The emperor's tone was cold, as if he was annoyed by these people's disobedience.

The head of the guard was sweating profusely: "Back to the emperor, the side hall suddenly caught fire. When my subordinates were waiting to put out the fire, the princess stopped her. She said she saw the assassin and asked the subordinates to come and rescue him!"

"Oh? That girl..." The emperor didn't expect the ten-year-old girl to have such deep thoughts. The fire could only be set by herself. Firstly, to divert the assassin's attention, and secondly, to be able to find herself in the shortest time The guards around, after all, running into the water is not a trivial matter, they must investigate.

It's just... this jade pendant...

The emperor chose to believe Feng Qi's words in the end, after all Xuanyuan Yi was not a fool, how could he send an assassin to assassinate him and bring his jade pendant with him, this is obviously setting the blame.

Also... the person who blamed him definitely knew that this jade pendant was not on Xuanyuan Yi's body. If he was a little confused and asked Xuanyuan Yi to question him, he would definitely not be able to get the jade pendant, and he was angry... hiss... such a vicious mind, unexpectedly I want him to kill his son himself!
The emperor broke out in a cold sweat, and his eyes fell on the face of the sleeping Concubine Xi. This woman was his second love. She was very similar to Yi'er's mother. He actually signaled himself not to move, and even covered his vitals with his body, just to give him a chance to fight back!

Even the stubborn look in her eyes after being injured is very similar...

Thinking of this, the emperor actually shed tears...
