Chapter 427

Is that enough? Even Chengping next to him frowned a little when he smelled it, but Nianfu didn't dare to stop. Instead, he shook the medicine in front of Gao Xian's nose, making the smell even more obvious.

Finally, Gao Xian slowly opened his eyes as he wished.

Queen Wang was so happy that she ignored the stench and whispered in Gao Xian's ear, "Your Majesty, how are you?"

Gao Xian's eyes moved, as if he still hadn't come back to his senses, and he looked at her blankly.

Nianfu quickly collected the medicine, and Queen Wang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember? You were assassinated yesterday and have been unconscious for almost a day and a night. It is midnight now, and it was Princess Jiashan who tried to wake you up."

Gao Xian moved his eyes from Queen Wang's face to Nian Fu's face, nodded slightly, and his eyes seemed to gradually wake up.

Queen Wang looked aside again and saw that Chengping stepped forward to speak. There were some political matters that she couldn't talk about, so she could only let the emperor's confidants speak.

Chengping's words were very concise and clear, "Your Majesty, the King of Jin has been guarding the outside with his troops since yesterday, but the important things in the imperial study have been put away. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. As for what to do next, I still have to wait.

Please give me your Majesty’s instructions.”

Gao Xian closed his eyes, as if to digest the amount of information here.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of noisy footsteps running towards here quickly from outside. Gao Changshun, who was guarding the side hall in front, had already listened without moving and rushed towards me.

"Second brother? Why are you here? There are so many people with you. What happened?"

Cheng Ping's expression changed dramatically, and he quickly glanced at him. The two confidant eunuchs guarding the door immediately closed the door on the inner floor of the palace.

There was a clanging sound outside the door, followed by the deep and sharp voice of King Jin, "Sixth brother, you are tired too, so you should go back to the palace and rest."

"Second brother... you, what are you going to do?" Gao Changshun was frightened, swallowing hard and stammering nervously, "There is someone coming! Father... father!"

A knife was placed on his neck. Gao Changshun's voice suddenly stopped. It seemed that the duck's neck was pinched, and no sound could be made.

The imperial doctor who was guarding outside the palace hunched over and wanted to escape secretly, but King Jin looked at him and only heard a pop, stabbing him to the core with a spear, and he died there immediately.

Gao Changshun was so frightened that he stood there dumbly, unable to even blink.

Just listen to the vicious and decisive words of the King of Jin, "The imperial hospital is ignorant and incompetent, and as a result, my father was seriously injured and died. He really deserves to be killed! Let me take care of my father's funeral first, and then I will punish you!"

In the inner palace, Queen Wang's face turned pale. Nian Fu's face also turned pale.

Making arrangements for the funeral?

This is forced labor!

This is bloody forced labor!

Gao Xian, who was sitting on the dragon bed, had his eyes suddenly brightened, like two balls of fire, revealing a strong anger and disbelief.

Being betrayed by his biological son, and being pronounced dead of serious injuries even though he was still alive, this kind of experience is extremely difficult for every father to accept, right?

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Taiping rushed to Gao Xian. Apparently he did not expect to encounter such a situation, and his expression was extremely anxious.

While he was talking, the door that had just been closed was knocked, "Open the door, I want to visit my father!"

It was moderate at first, but soon became vigorous and rough, "Open the door, open the door quickly! What on earth are you doing?"

Nian Fu panicked, and so did the queen.

How could they, the weakest people in the room, withstand the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers?

Chengping was obviously a little busy, but after all, he followed Gao Xian through the storm, so compared to the two of them, he seemed much calmer.

It was too late to ask for instructions. He walked straight to the emperor's bed and pulled some switch. In an instant, four guards covered with green gauze jumped out.

Judging from their dress, they are no different from ordinary guards, but judging from their skills, they are definitely the confidants arranged by the emperor.

Chengping didn't have time to explain anything to Nianfu and the others. He just ran to the dragon bed and said, "Your Majesty, let them take you away first. I will stay here to deal with the aftermath!"

What does this mean? If we stay in this situation, can we still survive?

Queen Wang's face turned even paler. She suddenly stepped forward quickly, knelt down to Gao Xian with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I am... I am four months pregnant."

Gao Xian glanced at her, his chest heaving violently, and he panted hard for a long time before he managed to squeeze out the words, "Fire... set fire!"

Chengping was stunned for a moment, but Nianfu had already understood.

If you stay here, you will die, so you might as well try your best to see if you have a chance to survive in the chaos!

Others only watched her pull up the candle as thick as an arm on the candlestick next to her, and flick it at the door a few times. The raging flame immediately followed her gesture, clinging to the door and burning brightly.

Queen Wang was a little dumbfounded, and Gao Xian's eyes were also full of disbelief.

When Nianfu turned around and looked at their expressions, he was momentarily panicked. Was he acting too impatient? Did they see something?

But when King Jin outside the door looked at the sudden surging red light, he pulled out his long sword and said sternly, "There is a traitor who intends to set fire to murder my father. Open the door quickly!"

This time, the attention of the people in the room was attracted again. Gao Xian moved his eyes to Chengping's face, and said with difficulty but majesty, "Let's go, everyone!"

Chengping was slightly startled, but then nodded, looked at Queen Wang again, and said "I'm sorry." After reading the blessing, he saw a masked guard jumping to Queen Wang's side, raising his hand, and Queen Wang fainted.

She was still surprised, but she felt that she had been stabbed in the body, and her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

Nian Fu didn't know what happened next, but when she woke up, there were no longer those terrible sounds of fighting and raging fires. They should be in a manor now, and the surroundings were very quiet.

Maybe it's still midnight? Or somewhere underground?

Looking around in confusion, Nianfu, who gradually came back to her senses, suddenly found that she was unsure of anything. Because although the room she was in was very comfortable, the doors and windows were closed, and she couldn't see anything outside.

Fortunately, the lights were on and there were people waiting nearby.

Seeing her wake up, Chengping came over, his face full of kindness, "The princess is awake? I didn't scare you, did I? There is nothing I can do about it, please forgive me."

"You don't need to say anything, father-in-law. I understand. The emperor's safety is very important. It's already troublesome for the emperor to take me out."

Nian Fu is not a ungrateful person. There must be a secret passage in the emperor's palace. But if the queen and her were to see it at that time, the secret passage would definitely no longer be usable. So not only she, but also the queen would have to faint before taking it.

come out.

Getting up from the bed, he chanted blessings and said, "The situation is critical right now. Is there anything I can do to relieve the emperor's worries?"

She is not stupid. If she has nothing to do, why would the chief eunuch guard her here personally?

Chengping's face became softer and softer, "The princess is smart, please come with me, the emperor is waiting for you next door."

It was said to be next door, but in fact it was two or three rooms away from this room. In the room that was almost the same as before, Gao Xian was lying on the bed being served and drinking medicine. His complexion seemed to have improved a lot.

"My cousin is here, sit down."

The guard brought a round stool, said blessings and sins, and sat on half of it.

After Gao Xian finished drinking the concoction, Chengping wiped the corners of his mouth, waved everyone off, and stood aside with his hands down.

Gao Xianwei gasped twice before he started to speak, "My cousin has also seen what happened today. Alas, I am incompetent to raise such a beast! I almost hurt my cousin. I am really ashamed."

"Your Majesty, don't say that. Prince Jin must have been deceived by a villain, so he did such a stupid thing. You must not get angry because of this."

As parents, no matter how incompetent their children are, they don't want to be gossiped about by others. Therefore, Nianfu cautiously made peace with them, not wanting to be disliked for this in the future.

Gao Xian glanced at her, his face softened a little, but he laughed at himself, "At this time, you don't have to cover up the shame of that beast anymore. Even my cousin can understand the current situation. I have something to entrust to you.

, cousin, do you dare to help me complete it?"

Nianfu's heart tightened, and she stood up and bowed down, "Although I am a woman, I am also your Majesty's subject. What are your orders from your Majesty, but please make it clear that I will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

Showing loyalty is also a technical job. At this time, there is no excuse. So Nianfu directly calls her a minister to express her determination. There is no need to treat her as a cousin, just use her as a minister!

Gao Xian was very satisfied, "In that case, I will give you a very important task!"

He glanced to the side and Chengping took out a tiger charm.

Gao Xian said seriously, "At Yanshui Pass, eight hundred miles west of Beijing, the Shenwei Battalion commanded by General Huo Fengshi and Huo is stationed. I want you to move 30,000 troops and arrive within ten days to relieve the difficulties in the capital.

Can you do it?"

Nianfu knelt down solemnly, raised his hands high, "I accept your order!"

Gao Xian winked at Chengping, who immediately stepped forward and handed the half piece of tiger talisman to Nianfu's hand.

Wrap the tiger talisman with a silk handkerchief, put it in your arms, recite blessings and bow before turning around and leaving.

Outside the door, horses have been prepared for her, as well as two guards.

"Princess, I'm sorry, I have to wrong you for a while." Chengping personally covered Nianfu's eyes and sent her out of this secret realm.

It wasn't until she reached the official road that she untied her eyes and said, "Be careful along the way!"

Nian Fu nodded, "Protect the Emperor."

Then he galloped his horse and whipped his horse, followed the two guards, and rushed towards the north like lightning.

When Taiping went back to resume his duties, Queen Wang had already woken up to serve the emperor. When she heard that Nianfu had left, she looked at Gao Xian with a bit of unbearable and hesitant look, "Didn't the emperor already have arrangements? Why do you still need the princess?"

Going on this trip? Isn’t it too dangerous for her to be a girl?”
