How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"Prince Yu is a man you cannot associate with. You must stay away from him."

Yan Qiaoling threw another handful of feed into the carp pond, slightly opened her lips, and emphasized to him again.

Xu Chengling naturally understood the implication of His Majesty's words. It seemed that His Majesty did not want him to have any contact with Prince Yu.

Back then, Prince Yu was made the Crown Prince by the late Emperor, but the Crown Prince lost in the final succession to the throne and only inherited the position of Prince.

But Prince Yu is a very ambitious man. He has always been eyeing the throne and will strike as soon as he gets the chance.

Unlike him, he just talks a few words at most, but Prince Yu is serious about it.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I am loyal to you and will never have second thoughts."

This is a good opportunity to show his loyalty to His Majesty, so Xu Chengling naturally cannot let it go.

"I know what you mean. Unlike that evil Prince Yu, you are definitely not the kind of person who wants to usurp the throne."

Yan Qiaoling looked at the surface of the pond and said lightly.

"Ah, yes, my loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all. How could I possibly want to usurp the throne? Hahahaha, this Prince Yu is so evil."

Xu Chengling couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't notice anything unusual.

At this moment, he felt the coldness around him suddenly dropped by several degrees.

Xu Chengling's expression changed slightly. He stared at the surface of the pool. The surface was as clear as a mirror, reflecting both of them.

Wait, aren’t there two people? Why is there another person?

He couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't know when a man in black appeared behind the two of them. The dagger in the other's hand emitted a cold light and slowly approached His Majesty.

At this time, His Majesty had not noticed the person behind him. If Xu Chengling had not used the reflection of the pool surface, he might not have noticed it.

At this moment, the man in black raised the dagger in his hand and slashed it towards His Majesty's fair neck.

"careful!"

Xu Chengling suddenly shouted loudly and used his arm to block the fatal blow for His Majesty, but his own arm was also injured.

He endured the severe pain, pulled open the cuff of his left hand, pressed the switch, and a hidden arrow suddenly shot out from the cuff.

It is difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. The opponent obviously did not expect this and was hit hard in the chest by an arrow.

This scene happened so fast that Yan Qiaoling had not yet reacted. She only saw that Xu Chengling's arm was bleeding.

"My dear, why are you bleeding?"

"Squat down!"

Yan Qiaoling was still a little dazed. Xu Chengling shouted at her, so she squatted down subconsciously.

At this moment, a cold light swept across her head, but only cut the tip of her hair.

In an instant, Yan Qiaoling's delicate face turned pale.

She finally realized at this moment that there was an assassin!

At this critical moment, Xu Chengling grabbed a handful of feed and threw it at the man in black.

But this did not cause much trouble to the man in black. The man in black slapped Xu Chengling on the right arm, causing a sharp pain and directly knocking him away.

The strength gap between the two sides was too great. The man in black attacked again, aiming at the empress beside him, and wielded the dagger in his hand to attack Yan Qiaoling's vital points.

Yan Qiaoling's face turned pale. At this critical moment, Xu Chengling suddenly pounced on her, and they both fell off the bridge and into the pool.

"It's so cold!"

The water in the carp pond was bone-chillingly cold, and both of them couldn't help but shiver violently.

Yan Qiaoling fluttered in the water like a drowning fish, shouting:

"Help me, I can't swim."

At this time, Xu Chengling floated his head out of the water, and he was so cold that he could hardly bear it.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for the insolence."

Xu Chengling endured the biting cold water, lifted up Her Majesty's pretty buttocks with one hand, and held Her Majesty's arm with the other hand, holding her and swimming towards the shore.

Fortunately, the man in black did not chase after us immediately.

The other party was hit by Xu Chengling's poison arrow, the arrow head of which was coated with a strong anesthetic enough to paralyze an elephant.

Even in this situation, the opponent can still act, which is enough to show how powerful he is.

With their mediocre kung fu, there is no way they can be a match for the man in black.

At this moment, Xu Chengling had only one thought in his mind.

Go find help quickly!

-

Two updates are completed, and there will be one more update later. I heard that the younger sister has too few roles, so I will arrange her role right away. Finally, I will ask for a wave of monthly tickets. Please give me the monthly tickets for next month. Thank you very much.

Chapter 43: I Will Not Marry Him

Xu Chengling climbed up the shore holding Yan Qiaoling. Both of them were soaked and almost died of fishing.

Seeing that the man in black did not continue to chase him, he quickly took His Majesty and hid in a bush.

Xu Chengling is still frightened by what happened suddenly just now. How could a killer appear in the back garden?

Judging from the current situation, the other party is very likely to have known the empress's itinerary, so they ambushed assassins here in advance.

The only person who can get close to the harem is a member of the royal family, who would have the opportunity to set an ambush here.

Moreover, the other party was obviously targeting the empress and killed her directly.

Now even the empress herself is in danger, which means that the people who attacked her before were not the empress's subordinates.

Now the misunderstanding was resolved.

The situation was critical at this time. Xu Chengling looked at the woman in dragon robe in front of him and saw that her pretty face was a little pale, and she was obviously still a little frightened.

"Your Majesty, where are the three hundred swordsmen and axemen you ambushed here? Hurry up and call them out to rescue us!"

Xu Chengling looked at His Majesty. The situation was urgent, and he spoke anxiously.

"Ah, where did the three hundred swordsmen come from?"

Yan Qiaoling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. What three hundred swordsmen and axemen? How come she didn't know anything about them?

"No, I was worried for nothing... No, this is not good."

"And your guards?"

"They...are all outside. They can't come in without my order."

"That's it!"

Xu Chengling spread his hands. Now it was bad. The two of them together could not beat the other party with just one hand.

Moreover, his right arm was hit by the opponent's palm just now, and that hand was almost broken.

If Tong'er were here, she could take him back, but she is not with him at the moment.

"You're bleeding, are you okay?"

At this moment, Yan Qiaoling looked at his arm. Seeing her lover injured, she felt so heartbroken.

There was a scar on Xu Chengling's wrist, which had already formed a scab and seemed to have been left there a long time ago.

Yan Qiaoling looked at the scar on his wrist. Her pretty face showed great distress and she couldn't help but think of her childhood.

At that time, they were attacked by assassins here, and he protected himself just like he is doing now.

At that time, Xu Chengling blocked the assassin's knife for her, and a scar was left on his wrist.

When they were being hunted by assassins, they also hid in the flowers, but the flowers at that time were taller than they are now.

When she felt most scared, Xu Chengling hugged her tightly in his arms, gently patted her back with his warm palms, and kept telling her in her ears not to be afraid.

That is to say, from that time on, the girl secretly swore in her heart that she would never marry anyone else in this life.

Now, he was injured again while protecting her. How could she not feel distressed?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm fine. What we should do now is to escape from here as quickly as possible and find reinforcements outside."

Xu Chengling shook his head, tore off a piece of cloth with his hands, and tied up the injured part to stop the bleeding.

However, he could only move one arm, which was not very convenient. He tried several times but failed to tie it properly. Instead, more and more blood came out, staining his clothes red.

"let me help you."

Yan Qiaoling tore off the sleeve of the dragon robe and carefully helped him tie the cloth strip on his arm.

"Your Majesty, that is a dragon robe..."

When Xu Chengling saw that Her Majesty was bandaging himself with the dragon robe, he hurriedly stopped her.

"Your injury is more important now. You can just throw away the dragon robe. Is it as important as you?"

Yan Qiaoling said in a deep voice, her movements seemed a little clumsy, but she was very serious.

After several attempts, I finally got the bandage done and my arm stopped bleeding.

"That's good. Don't move. Let's hide here together. When the guards notice something unusual, they will come looking for us."

Yan Qiaoling sat next to Xu Chengling, her pretty face covered in dirt and the dragon robe she was wearing was wet and dirty, not revealing the demeanor of an empress at all.

Although she ordered her personal guards not to come near here, but because of the importance of her status, the personal guards must always pay attention to the situation around the empress.

Once the guards notice that the empress is out of sight, they will come looking for her immediately.

So, they just need to wait here, and someone will come to rescue them soon.

The two hid in the dense flowers, not daring to move. They were not sure whether the killer had left.

At this time, Yan Qiaoling's delicate body was shaking slightly, her hair was wet, and she couldn't help but hug her knees and curled up into a ball.

"Cheng Ling, I feel a little cold."

Yan Qiaoling said with a trembling voice, and this time, she directly called Xu Chengling's name.

"Can you hug Ling'er... hug me?"

She was about to say her name, but when she thought of her current identity, she quickly changed her words.

Xu Chengling felt sorry for His Majesty when he saw that he was shivering all over and his face was red from the cold.

After some hesitation, he nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for overstepping my authority."

After saying that, he took off his clothes that were already wet.

Although doing so may be somewhat offensive to His Majesty, in order to better convey the body temperature to the other party, it is necessary to take off the clothes.

He gently held her majesty's delicate body in his arms and used his body heat to warm her body.

Yan Qiaoling snuggled in Xu Chengling's arms like a docile kitten, feeling the warmth of his chest, and her whole body was filled with warmth.

At this moment, Yan Qiaoling finally got into Xu Chengling's arms as she wished.

In this way, the two of them snuggled together and kept each other warm.

After a while, Yan Qiaoling fell asleep sweetly in his arms, her lips moving slightly, making people want to smell her fragrance.

……

After an unknown amount of time, a sound of footsteps came from afar and slowly approached them.

Xu Chengling's heart was in his throat. Could it be that the assassin was chasing him?

At this time, His Majesty closed his eyes slightly, breathing steadily, and actually fell asleep in his arms.

Suddenly, a white, slender hand parted the flowers, and a familiar face came into view.

"Your Majesty, and Prime Minister, are you all right?"

The person who came was Xue Yuan. Seeing that the two were fine, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If anything happens to His Majesty because of her negligence, she will be held responsible for it.
