Chapter 488 The Regent’s Romance

Although she didn't seem to be frightened, the eldest princess is the mother of the current queen, and no matter what the reason is, she cannot take it lightly.

The assassin escaped after stabbing the secret guard. Xuanyuan Xi didn't want to alarm too many people, so he didn't send anyone to chase him.

Of course, the main reason was that the secret guard was seriously injured. For a moment, she only focused on sending people to call the doctor. When she came to her senses, the assassin had already disappeared without a trace, and she couldn't catch up even if she wanted to.

After hearing the general process, Nan Xi said: "You can send someone to take care of the injured secret guard. Mother should be more careful. I'll ask Rong Yu to arrange for more people to come over."

"The Princess Mansion has enough manpower, so don't bother us anymore." Xuanyuan Xi looked at the sky outside, "Have you three had your dinner?"

Zhan Ruo said: "I haven't eaten yet."

"Just right." Rong Yu said in a calm tone, "Mother-in-law can have someone prepare some sumptuous dinner. Zhan Ruo will stay here to eat while Xi'er and I go out for a walk."

I finally found some time for a night, and I shouldn't be disturbed by annoying people.

Zhan Ruo glared at him: "You have a beautiful idea——"

"Zhan Ruo." Nan Xi said, looking at him with a smile, "Be obedient."

Zhanruo's voice stopped and he was speechless for a moment.

After confirming that her mother was fine, Nan Xi and Rong Yu quickly turned around and left. When walking outside the princess's house, Nan Xi said: "What Zhan Ruo said about the assassination was false. Someone should have deliberately created it." opportunity, so I need to pay special attention to the injured secret guard."

Xuanyuan Xi smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I still have some brains. He is seriously injured, so I don't need to pay attention to him for the next two days."

The injury to the lungs will take a long time to heal.

Nan Xi hummed and got into the carriage with Rong Yu's help.

Zhan Ruo stood outside the car, watching them leave in the carriage, and cursed Rong Yu bitterly: "Treacherous villain."

"Okay." Xuanyuan Xi raised her hand and touched his head, with a helpless tone, "Why are you acting like a child? Come on, I will ask someone to prepare more delicious food for you, eat it to your heart's content After one meal, I feel better soon.”

Zhan Ruo thought twice and decided to hug the eldest princess first. Sister is now obsessed with Rong Yu, the treacherous villain, and it is impossible to stand on his side. If Rong Yu deliberately targets him in the future, Sister will probably I won't protect him.

So he needs a strong backer.

A backer that even Rong Yu had to be afraid of.

Zhan Ruo was thinking like this, and a bright and bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Eldest Princess, don't you ask me about my relationship with Sister... Your Majesty?"

Xuanyuan Xi glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the house: "You are the prince of Yuguo, what do you have to do with Xi'er?"

"Your Majesty and I were relatives in the past life."

"Really?" Xuanyuan Xi chuckled, thinking he was talking nonsense, "So you were reincarnated with your memories? Or did you forget to drink Meng Po soup when you crossed the Naihe Bridge?"

Of course Zhan Ruo knew that she wouldn't believe it, and it was because of his disbelief that he dared to say it.

"No, I figured it out myself." He said, "I am born with special powers and can know many things that others don't know."

Xuanyuan Xi raised his eyebrows: "Then you can figure out what happened to the assassin I killed tonight."

Zhan Ruo pondered for a moment, then pretended to be mysterious and said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."

Xuanyuan Xi was slightly startled, then couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let's go have a meal and eat a little full. From now on, if you have nothing else to do, go and join in the fun with Xi'er and Rong Yu."

Zhan Ruo curled his lips and said nothing.

…

The carriage drove all the way towards the imperial city.

"Where are we going?" Nan Xi opened the curtain and looked at the busy traffic outside, "Is this the direction out of the city?"

Rong Yu hummed: "Go to the river."

Nan Xi lowered the car curtain, her eyes fell on Rong Yu's face, and there was a smile on her lips: "You can't be preparing some surprise for me."

Rong Yu smiled and said nothing.

"A'yu." Nan Xi moved her body and took the initiative to lean into his arms, "Who do you think the secret guard is?"

"Before coming back to Dongling, I paid close attention to the defense of the eldest princess's palace." Rong Yu put his arm around her slender shoulders, "The Dongling royal family has a martial arts pavilion that specializes in training secret guards. Orphans who have families to return to, or children whose parents are too poor to support them, will be sent to the court for training every year.”

Nan Xi's eyebrows moved slightly, wanting to say that she knew all this.

After all, the master who taught Rong Huaijin back then was from a martial arts pavilion and later became the number one master around the emperor.

But recently, she liked listening to Rong Yu tell her stories more and more, so she didn't disturb him, adjusted to a more comfortable position in his arms, closed her eyes lightly, and said in a lazy tone, "Yeah."

"Secret guards have been trained since childhood. Those with better qualifications can leave the cabinet at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and those who are later will not be more than eighteen years old." Rong Yu gently held her hair, "These warriors are usually between fifteen and twenty. The five-year-old is the strongest in terms of physical strength and force. Due to intensive training and frequent injuries, the root causes of disease will develop. Therefore, the physical strength and combat effectiveness of the secret guards after the age of thirty will not be as good as before. "

Nan Xi pondered: "The secret guard in my mother's house also came from the martial arts pavilion?"

"As far as I know, there is only one secret guard in the Princess's mansion who is over thirty years old." Rong Yu said, "But there is nothing suspicious about this person's identity."

Nan Xi guessed: "Is it possible that he was bribed?"

"It's unlikely." Rong Yu said, "Firstly, the secret guards have no desires and only obey orders; secondly, bribery of the secret guards takes a huge risk, and few people dare to do this."

Nan Xi nodded: "So, it's really a bit strange."

"Don't think too much." Rong Yu lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, "I will have someone investigate this matter carefully and will not let my mother-in-law encounter such a thrilling situation again."

Nan Xi hummed: "I haven't been to the moat to see the scenery for a long time. I wonder if it is as lively as before."

"The same, as if it has never changed." Rong Yu said softly, "If we wait for the Qiqiao Festival, the riverside will be more lively."

The Lantern Festival and Qiqiao Festival every year are the most lively and beautiful times on the riverside. Young men and women put lanterns on the riverside, pray for the blessing of Yue Lao, and hold various interesting activities.

There are light boats and painted boats on the river, and the lanterns are dazzling. Talented men and beautiful women gather here. In addition to the liveliness, there is more of a fascinating atmosphere.

"Let's rent a boat." Rong Yu smiled, "Sit on the boat and watch the fireworks."

Nan Xi stretched out her hand to hug his neck, with a smile on the corners of her lips, and the tenderness in her voice penetrated into her bones: "Who would have thought that the cold and indifferent regent would have such a charming and romantic mood?"
