The Ugly Empress

Chapter 22 Assassination

"Escort!"

Before Teng Yun got out of the carriage, he heard a commotion outside.

Xue Junliang had already got out of the car. Although he thought that someone would intercept the queen's frame on the way, he didn't expect to be so blatantly close to Shiliting.

Although Xue Houyang had already prepared, he did not expect the thief to ambush the posthouse, and the surroundings suddenly became chaotic, especially this time when he was escorting the queen, and he inevitably brought many female relatives with him.

Teng Yun was sitting in the frame, his heart jumped. This is an excellent opportunity to escape, but his body is too weak now. If he was in the past, he would not be afraid of being captured, but now he might be killed by an assassin. Maybe.

Teng Yun opened a corner of the curtain, and the assassins outside seemed to be targeting Xue Junliang, but Xue Junliang is the king of a country, how could he be so easy to assassinate, and the assassins were well prepared, it doesn't look like they didn't think carefully.

Sure enough, Teng Yun was right. The assassination of Xue Junliang was actually a cover. There were quite a few assassins, and some of them sneaked to the side of the frame while the guards were unresponsive.

Xiuyao stumbled in and ran in, grabbed Teng Yun and said, "Your Majesty, run quickly, the outside is going to be overwhelmed!"

Teng Yun knew that if he didn't run out, the assassin might not be able to kill him. After all, they were all trusted soldiers selected by Xue Houyang himself this time, but now is the best chance to escape, taking advantage of the chaos.

He thought for a while, and immediately raised his hand to take off the phoenix crown on his head, and all the extra jewelry on his body. Xiuyao is also a smart person, and she understood what Teng Yun meant, so she found a dress that was not very bright from the small cabinet. , Help him take off his coat and put on the newly found clothes.

Xiuyao is considered a court lady who has seen the big world. Although she looks very calm at this time, Hun'er is actually frightened, her hands are shaking constantly, and she is already sweating when helping Teng Yun put on her clothes.

Xiuyao secretly lifted the tent to look out, then jumped out of the car, reached out to support Teng Yun and jumped down too.

Teng Yun took off all the bits and pieces of jewelry, and his attire was almost the same as that of ordinary court ladies, and the two of them were not conspicuous.

One side of the road is facing the water, and the other side is a small forest. Teng Yun took Xiuyao to run into the woods, but after two steps, there was a sound, as if someone was chasing him.

Xiuyao panicked, Teng Yun said in a low voice, "Let's go separately."

"My lady..."

Xiuyao seemed to feel that something was wrong, although the two of them had a bigger goal, but she didn't dare to do it alone, but Teng Yun didn't give her much thought, and went to the other side.

There are a lot of weeds in the forest, and it is not convenient for Teng Yun to wear a skirt and shirt. He always rushes with the grass and dead leaves on the ground, and his physical strength is not good. He can't breathe after just two steps. As if congested.

Teng Yun simply shrunk down in the grass, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and tried his best to calm his breathing.

As soon as he hid in the bushes, he heard someone's voice and walked past him. Teng Yun held his breath, afraid that they would find him.

When those people walked over, Teng Yun felt his eyes darken as soon as he relaxed, and he was spinning and shaking, and his body fell to the ground.

Those assassins also seemed to be good hands in Lian's family. Hearing the sound, he immediately turned back and cut the grass with a leaf knife to check.

Teng Yun tried to get up with his hands, his arms were trembling, as if he had no strength at all, but the next moment he was suddenly thrown out.

Behind Teng Yun was a dirt slope. The dirt slope was not too steep, but the slope was very long, and it continued to spread. The forest was dark, and it was impossible to see what was below.

Teng Yun had no ability to resist being thrown at all. He was held tightly in his arms and rolled down the slope.

The man clasped the back of his head with his hand and pressed it in his arms, trying his best to protect Teng Yun from being hit by clods of dirt and rocks.

This rolling was even more dizzying, Teng Yun closed his eyes tightly, and his stomach seemed to be rolling, bringing out waves of nausea.

At the end, Teng Yun managed to let out his breath, but he still couldn't open his eyes, as if his surroundings were still moving. Before he could recover, he was already pulled up, and within a few steps, he was dragged into the nearby In the pit.

When his nauseating dizziness gradually calmed down, it was Xue Junliang who opened his eyes.

Xue Junliang's crown was gone. Although his hair was tied, it fell loose and was a bit messy. His black python robe was covered in dust and was scratched in several places. He looked very embarrassed, but his expression was still so calm.

Xue Junliang embraced Teng Yun with one hand, trying to shrink into the pit as much as possible, and covered his mouth with the other hand, signaling to keep silent.

Seeing someone fall, the assassin naturally followed him to look for it. Fortunately, the neighborhood was rather dark, and there were not many dead trees, weeds and vines, and there were a few small stinky ditches. Not daring to stay for long, he went deep.

Xue Junliang didn't let go of his hand. The assassin walked away and waited for a long time before finally letting go. Teng Yun took a few quick breaths. If it lasted longer, he was really afraid that he would be smothered to death.

Xue Junliang looked at his blushing face, and smiled softly. The two of them were very close, and their breath hit Teng Yun's ear, which made him tremble. He suddenly came back to his senses, and turned his head to look With Xue Junliang.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. After waiting for a long time, the assassin didn't turn back before they left the pit.

There was some blood on Xue Junliang's body, as if he was scratched by a clod of soil when he fell down. Although he was embarrassed, it was not a serious injury, but his right hand seemed to be inflexible.

Xue Junliang didn't think it was dirty, so he sat on the side and said, "My concubine, what should I do, my hand seems to be broken."

Teng Yun really didn't expect that this person saved his life.

He looked at Xue Junliang with complicated eyes. They were mortal enemies in his previous life, and he even died at his hands, but now, that person is willing to save him.

He didn't know why Xue Junliang suddenly appeared here, or in fact, he found out when he just ran away?

Teng Yun looked at Xue Junliang pretending to be pitiful, as if the other party was not afraid of getting lost with the army at all, and he didn't realize how embarrassing his situation was.

"Why, Aifei was touched, so don't worry, I will tell you to see enough after returning to the palace."

Xue Junliang spoke ambiguously, and deliberately lowered his voice, but Teng Yun didn't think about that at all. He just got up and picked up a few thicker branches nearby, and then sat next to Xue Junliang, tearing off his clothes from the rip, Fix Xue Junliang's broken hand.

Xue Junliang used his other hand to poke the torn gap, as if it was a pity that the clothes were so damaged, he casually smiled and said, "Aifei is so skillful in her movements."

Teng Yun's bandaged hand paused for a moment, and then he pretended not to care. He was used to fighting outside, and he would deal with these minor injuries and ailments by himself, but as the pampered eldest princess, he definitely wouldn't, let alone deal with wounds. , should be very flustered.

With that in mind, he decided to help Xue Junliang fix it.

Although Xue Junliang also felt that the other party was a little strange, but the doubts were only fleeting, and he didn't take it to heart.

He took off the black robe with one hand, spread it aside, stretched out his hand and patted it, and said, "Sit down and rest, the people in Houyang should be able to find us soon."

Teng Yun glanced at the clothes on the floor. He didn't want to speak, and he didn't have the energy to speak. His body was indeed pampered, and his physical strength and endurance were weak. Teng Yun's throat was already swollen and congested, and he was afraid that he would spit it out immediately.

He sat down, Xue Junliang saw that they were quite far away, so he took the initiative to move to this side, then supported Teng Yun's head, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "Close your eyes and rest for a while when you are tired."

Although Teng Yun was very tired, he gradually became tired after sitting down, but he couldn't relax no matter what he leaned on Xue Junliang, his whole body was stiff.

Xue Junliang also noticed that Teng Yun's head was leaning against him, but his body was tense, so he couldn't help laughing, and then stretched out his hand to wrap around the other's waist from behind.

Teng Yun's own drowsiness was overwhelmed by this shock, Xue Junliang felt him tremble, and instead hugged him tighter, "It's cold, rely on warmth."

Xue Houyang's movements were considered fast, and within an hour, he had found them, and most of the assassins had already been caught.

Xue Houyang knelt down to plead guilty, Xue Junliang didn't say anything, Teng Yun was already asleep at this time, and everyone didn't dare to wake up the empress too loudly.

Teng Yun was dizzy and felt warm all over his body. He shrank back, and suddenly felt something furry sticking to his face, and he was startled.

Xue Junliang watched him stand up abruptly, thinking that he was having a nightmare, so he patted Teng Yun's back lightly, and said, "It's all right, just sleep for a while and get up in the palace."

Teng Yun didn't wake up completely, he stared at Xue Junliang for a long time, he always felt a little shaking, his body was still covered with a fur blanket, Xue Junliang's clothes had been changed, and he returned to the well-groomed appearance before.

Xue Junliang looked at others in a daze. He himself slept on his lap, thinking that Teng Yun would not be able to wake up when he returned to the palace.

The man didn't change his clothes, because he was afraid of waking him up, and Xue Junliang didn't think it was dirty, so he let him rest on his legs, but at this time, Teng Yun's face was slightly flushed, as if it was warm, and his eyes were warm. A little dazed, looking at himself with a trace of water vapor.

Although it was not appropriate at this time, Xue Junliang seemed a little restless when he was looked at like this, and Teng Yun was lying on his lap again, this posture was very evocative.

Xue Junliang knew that if the two of them maintained this posture, their reaction would be discovered after a while.

Stretching out his hand, he turned the man upside down and pressed him face-on to the ground. Xue Junliang pinned the broken hair behind his ears for him, and pinched the other's earlobe. Hearing Teng Yun's "hmm", his heart tightened suddenly, as if he had been smashed one time.

Xue Junliang slid his hand from the earlobe to Teng Yun's chin, stretched out his hand to pinch it, and kissed him.
