Shen Xian was about to ask what was a pity, but when she turned around, the person was gone.

In an instant, a dark wind blew by, and Shen Xian shivered.

It can't be haunted, right?

She glanced at the torn corner of her clothes.

Well, no.

She had a headache when she saw the blood stains on the carriage. She stood up and opened the door and looked at Xiang Nong. Upon seeing this, the latter immediately asked: "What's wrong, Miss?"

"Let's go back to the palace first."

"Aren't you going to Hongxiu Hall?"

Shen Xian nodded and closed the door again.

I was so nervous that I forgot about it. The gangster's accent didn't sound like a Han Chinese, there was a smell of cumin, and his facial features didn't look like those from the Central Plains.

Shi Ling said that the Nanjue envoy was coming soon. Could it be that he was from Nanjue?

It's possible.

The Nanjue people speak like cumin, and all of them have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and curly hair.

The inspection at the city gate just now might be to arrest him.

She calmed down secretly, and after getting off the carriage, she immediately asked someone to clean up the inside of the carriage. When Xiang Nong saw the blood in the carriage, she thought Shen Xian was injured. When she saw that Shen Xian's clothes were torn, she immediately panicked.

"Miss, are you injured? I'm going to get medicine!"

"I'm not hurt."

Xiang Nong was confused: "Then what's going on with the blood stains on your clothes?"

Shen Xian couldn't tell, so she just asked: "When will Ziqing come back?"

Xiang Nong shook his head and said: "I just heard from Jin Wei that an assassin appeared in the palace last night and disturbed the Holy Emperor. Now he is still arresting the assassin."

Shen Xian's eyebrows jumped.

assassin...

Could it be that person?

But he had obviously run out of the city, so why did he go to all the trouble to go into the city and throw himself into a trap?

Shen Xian frowned, really not understanding that person's intention.

Ye Zhen came back after a while, holding a golden Buddha in her hand. She said that the words of the abbot of Xiangyun Temple had helped her a lot, so she asked for a consecrated Maitreya Buddha to come back and worship her every day. go.

It was already midnight when Shi Ling came back. She originally thought Shen Xian had fallen asleep, but when she walked to the door of the room, she found that the lights were still on inside.

Shi Ling was afraid that Shen Xian would be disgusted by her dirty appearance, so she went out to wash herself up before coming in.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Xian leaning on the desk drawing something with her bare feet on the ground.

Shi Ling took her shoes unhappily and said, "Put them on."

Shen Xian raised her head suddenly and realized that Shi Ling was back. After calling "Ziqing" sweetly, she raised her feet as if to ask Shi Ling to wear it for her.

Shi Ling chuckled, squatted down and gently stuffed her feet into the shoes.

When I got up, I saw what she had drawn.

He has a pair of deep eyebrows and looks like a man at first glance.

"Who is this?"

Shen Xian didn't intend to hide it from him, and said: "Today I accompanied my mother to Xiangyun Temple and met a bad person."

Shi Ling's pupils shrank, and he turned to look at Shen Xian up and down, as if he wanted to see if she was injured: "Where is the injury? Have you called a doctor? Let me have a look."

Shen Xian grabbed his hand that was approaching.

"I'm fine. The man just threatened me and took him into the city. He was wearing a night jacket that covered his mouth, nose and hair. Only a pair of eyes were exposed. I can't draw the rest, but he looks about the same size as you."

Shi Ling's eyes were a little complicated: "Can you still tell her figure?"

"Are you jealous? He threatened me to stop his bleeding, so I just took a look."

Shi Ling snorted, took her hand and rubbed it, as if she was dissatisfied that Shen Xian's hands actually went to stop the bleeding.

"He injured his left shoulder?"

Shen Xian thought for a while, then nodded.

Shi Ling stared at the painting on the table with a dark expression and thought for a while: "They are from Nanjue."

Shen Xian nodded: "I guess so too." After a pause, something suddenly occurred to her: "There was an assassin in the palace yesterday, could it be him?"

Shi Ling nodded.

"What about your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is fine. He seemed to want to enter the palace and steal something. He kept wandering around the treasure house. Later, he was discovered by the imperial army. I happened to be there and fought with him for several rounds."

Shen Xian grabbed him nervously: "Are you okay?"

Shi Ling shook his head, gave her a calm look, and said proudly: "I'm better than that man. I cut the injury on his left shoulder. It will make him hurt for a few days."

Shen Xian nodded.

It seems that the situation in southern Xinjiang is not good this time.

Just as she was thinking about it, Shi Ling picked her up and walked to the bed. Shen Xian put her arms around his neck, rolled her eyes and wondered: "But he has already ran out of the city, why did he take the risk to come in? Wouldn't it be easier to fish in troubled waters by following the Nanjue envoy into the city?"

Shi Ling: "Today the princess and the general of Nanjue have already moved into the inn first."

Shen Xian was stunned.

In other words, that person is probably the general of Nanjue?

Shi Ling put her down and tapped her cheek with his hand: "So I told you not to go out alone these days. If that person hurts you today, or..."

Shen Xian hugged him with both hands and feet.

"I cherish my life, don't worry, I won't go out these days while the Nanjue people are here."

"I don't want to control you..."

"I know you love me. It's my own choice."

Shi Ling then curled his lips and relaxed.

-

When the Nanjue people came to make a grand presentation, both the officials in the court and the people in the market spat at the Nanjue people behind their backs.

On the day when the Nanjue envoys entered the palace, many people spat directly at their carriages, but immediately disappeared into the crowd.

The people all had a hatred for Southern Xinjiang. Going back one or two generations, every household at that time had men going out to fight against the Nanjue barbarians. Many of their husbands and sons failed to come back. This hatred will be remembered forever.

Even if peace is made now, the hatred is still there, and if you don't want to see it, you don't want to see it.

In the carriage, a young girl wearing a string of agate beads and her long hair braided into a small braid heard the comments of the people outside.

With a disdainful look on his face, he said in Nanjue dialect: "You lowly Dacheng man."

Yun Su, who was sitting beside her and relaxing, raised his eyelids and reminded: "This is Dacheng, Yun Sha, you have to speak Chinese."

Yun Sha raised her chin proudly and said in Nanjue language: "You have to say it yourself, I am the noble Nanjue Princess. If it were not for the king, I would not have even stepped into Dacheng!"

Yun Su looked a little unhappy, turned to look at her, and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget the purpose of your trip. In Dacheng, you must endure your temper and please the emperor and prince of Dacheng, otherwise you don't have to Back to the south."

Yun Sha's eyes widened, her arrogant eyebrows raised more and more, she felt angry and aggrieved, but she could only say: "I know, brother."

The palace held a banquet to welcome the Nanjue envoys. Many officials and ministers brought their children, probably because they wanted to compete with the Nanjue envoys to see which of the two countries' women were more beautiful and whose men were more muscular and handsome. .

Shen Xian followed Shi Ling and sat on the emperor's right side. Opposite were Shi Yanyuan and Zhong Mingyue, while Shi Yu and Xiao Hui were next to Xiaxia.

Xiao Hui had to turn her head and look up to see.

She was so depressed that even looking at the flowers and plants around her made her chest feel tight and short of breath.

"The minister's envoy has arrived—"
