Chapter 328

The thunderstorm in summer is more violent than that in spring. Around midnight, a splash disturbs the dream. The orange electric snake shuttles through the sky and reflects the lines of the coffin in the palace from time to time, adding a sense of strangeness.

He turns over and holds Pei Ming in his arms. Xue tingji takes a long breath and kisses her hair habitually. Suddenly, he is awakened by the noise.

"Your Highness! His royal highness

Pei Ming, who was awakened, whispered, "what happened in the evening?"

Without waiting for them to sit up, a thunderbolt struck down, which led to a woman's scream, "brother six, help

Xue tingji was stunned. Was the voice

He opened the door in a hurry, only to find a young girl in a cloak. She was all wet and her hair was clinging to her pale face. She looked very pitiful.

And this young girl, Pei Ming also met, "Princess Deyuan?"

This Deyuan is the great hero who helped hide Princess dada. But how can the noble little princess run to the East Palace in the rain now?

After being taken into the bedroom, Deyuan still sobbed, looking very scared, "sixth brother, sixth sister-in-law, mother wants to kill us!"

Pei Ming and Xue tingji look at each other. It seems that the queen can't help it.

After receiving the hot water, Deyuan finished drinking it in one breath, still choking, "these days, there are many eunuchs in the palace, some people say they are all the hands of the queen."

"I know that." Xue tingji was not surprised, "but the queen won't kill you."

Deyuan shook his head desperately. "I'm looking for brother ten to play today. Seeing that his residence has changed people, brother ten said My mother wants to take care of our lives. I'm afraid that when it rains heavily in the middle of the night, the bodyguards are all lazy and sneak out. "

This is something that queen Bai can do. The princes are controlled. The useful ones are supported as puppets to replace Xue tingji as the prince. The useless ones can be assassinated. It is claimed that Xue tingji killed his brothers in order to consolidate the throne.

Although the princesses are not a big threat, they can be used to make friends with each other, and it's very convenient to get in touch with each other.

These are not all. What Deyuan is most afraid of is that his father is also in danger. "Sixth brother, do you think his mother will poison his father just like last time?"

Although she was young, she didn't understand. Last year, the empress of Zhao must have done something wrong. At that time, she wanted to help Liu Ge, but she couldn't help it. Now she feels very sorry.

Thanks for my sister's heart, Xue Ting comforted her in a soft voice, "don't worry, the queen and I are equal now. If the emperor dies, she won't be able to take advantage of me, so she won't be a killer for a while."

Who knows to turn a head but see De Yuan Leng Leng ground to look at him, "six elder brothers, why don't you call father Huang?"

He said a little, then grinned, "forget it."

However, the news that Deyuan brought was really worthy of vigilance. He had to speed up his action. After comforting him, he asked someone to send the princess back.

But Deyuan refused, grabbed his arm and cried, "I'm really afraid. If my mother finds out what to do, I'll stay with you."

"Well behaved, if you stay here, the queen will find out even more. Don't show anything when you go back."

Nevertheless, Deyuan was still uneasy. He pouted his lips with a pitiful look, which made Xue tingji feel cruel.

Pei Ming thought about it. Xue Ting didn't have a suitable person to send to protect Deyuan, but he did, so he called Jinzhan, "you Protect the princess from being discovered, both in the light and in the dark. "

There is another meaning in her words. Let Xiao go into the palace with her and take charge of the secret guard. Marigold naturally understands and nods silently.

Before the rain stopped, Deyuan had to go back. Before he left, he grabbed Xue tingji's sleeve and sobbed, "brother six, you promise to protect me, and brother ten."

Xue tingji nodded deeply, "don't worry."

Pei Ming, on the other hand, is worried about the safety of the princes and princesses. On the other hand She didn't know if it was right to send Xiao out. In case she was found, she had to start a conflict with Xue ting.

Seeing her frown, Xue Ting comforted her to have a rest first. "Deyuan won't be in danger. I have my own discretion."

Pei Ming just settled down and gradually fell asleep in her new sleepiness. However, there is something Xue Ting forgot to tell her, which directly led to her worries becoming true.

At the same time, the Emperor gave him an additional power, that is, to mobilize the secret guards who specially worked for the emperor.

He didn't want to disturb Pei Ming's sleep, so he quietly went out to call for a servant and sent out the dark order to protect Princess Deyuan.

As a result, those who protect Deyuan become two groups of people who don't know each other

On the second day, Xue tingji talked with Li Shangshu of the Ministry of war about government affairs. Li Shangshu was also very disgusted with the Bai family, so they could talk to each other, and the topic naturally led to Pei Ming.

"Oh, just wait for her filial piety, and you will be married. When she has children, she will have no time to be a general."Xue tingji is noncommittal, "whether she gets married and has children or not, she is a general of the auxiliary country."

Li Shangshu gives a smile to his beard. Even so, women can't be too strong. In particular, when his highness becomes emperor in the future, there will be a powerful Queen. Does the world listen to his majesty or the queen?

Xue tingji didn't really care, but this once again stirred up the thorn in his heart. Ah Ming was really powerful. Even a maid around him could send out to protect people.

He couldn't figure out how many people and things were around her. He felt more and more that he was an outsider to Ah Ming.

With this in mind, he returned to the east palace still full of worries. In the evening, Pei Ming came back a little tired. It's not easy to be a general.

After dinner, they wanted to be gentle. Unexpectedly, a report came from outside. This time, they were not servants, but secret guards.

"Your Highness, I met an unidentified assassin near Princess Deyuan's residence."

Xue tingji frowned. The queen had no reason to aim at a princess like this. Did she find that Deyuan had tipped him off and wanted to retaliate to warn him?

But Pei Ming didn't care about this. She opened the door and saw the dark guard outside. She suddenly changed her face and asked Xue tingji, "is this your school?"

"Yes, the emperor granted me the privilege." Xue tingji is a little funny. "I think maybe it's because I'm afraid that the queen will even control the dark guard. No one will save him at that time."

Pei Ming was so angry that he took a cold breath, "so you sent the dark guard to protect Deyuan?"

"Of course, she's my sister. You have to protect her."

He didn't know the storm in Pei Ming's heart, and he didn't know how complicated it was in her eyes.

Mingming has a secret guard in his hand, but he doesn't tell her. He doesn't even send it to let her know. If he doesn't deliberately hide it, he wants to test her and see what else she has besides tie Lao?

Blame her stupid, so easily fooled, but also the Xiao this card also thrown out.

She sighed with chagrin. Xue tingji thought that she was worried about Deyuan. She helped her to sit down first and called the dark guard in to report in detail, "have you caught me?"

Dark Wei shook his head in shame. "The assassin was alone. His skill was weird, so Let him escape. "

Xue tingji frowned and was dissatisfied with their incompetence. He ordered that the assassin should be found out.

But Pei Ming said, "don't chase me."

From the beginning, she has been staring at Xue ting with even a slight expression, but it doesn't seem to be pretending, so she can understand it, so she has more headache.

In his puzzled gaze, Pei Ming sighed deeply.

"That's my man."
