If you don't come to block it, you really can't hurt me.

Feng Jiuqing kicked the assassin away and stared at Mo Ling's bloody arm with a look of heartache in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, wuwuwu——"

Mo Ling frowned slightly, wiped away Feng Jiuqing's tears, and coaxed her softly: "Don't cry, I'm fine."

I can see that he is not fatal. Usually for Feng Jiuqing, as long as the injury is not fatal, it is not considered an injury.

With red eyes, he tore off his outer robe and carefully bandaged Mo Ling, thinking that it was a good thing that his people came, otherwise Mo Ling would not know how badly he would be injured!

Fortunately, it was his left hand that was injured, so it did not affect his reading of memorials, otherwise he would not be willing to help Mo Ling work overtime.

"Your Majesty! I am late in coming to your rescue. Please punish me!"

The man was half-kneeling on the ground, with several bodies of assassins behind him. Most of the assassins had already escaped, and the few who were caught had committed suicide by taking poison.

Mo Ling was originally looking at Feng Jiuqing tenderly. Upon hearing what he said, he glanced at the man and recognized him as a general under Wen Chu.

"My dear, please don't be polite. If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid something bad would have happened to me. I will definitely reward you handsomely after we return to the palace."

The man bowed his head, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It is not my duty, and I am ashamed to accept it."

Mo Ling personally helped the man up and comforted him, "My dear, you saved me from danger. This is such a great achievement. I should reward you no matter what. Don't refuse it."

The man then raised his eyes, looked at Mo Ling gratefully, and said loudly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for your majesty, even if I die."

Mo Ling patted his shoulder and said, "I believe you, my dear."

This man was a subordinate of Wen Chu, a man of the Grand Tutor. His previous arrest warrant for the Grand Tutor had not yet come to an end, and this man had made such a great contribution, how could he not reward him.

Besides, Qianlong had been fighting with the assassin for nearly quarter of an hour, and with such a big commotion, not a single person was attracted. This must have been a setup.

And this person just happened to appear here and happened to save him. It was obvious that he had been waiting for him here.

Whether the assassins were the Grand Tutor's men or not is not the point for now, but the Grand Tutor must have known the news earlier than him, and these people must have been deliberately arranged by the Grand Tutor.

Since he had accepted the favor from the Grand Tutor, there was no way he would let the Grand Tutor's people down. Moreover, he wanted to marry Qingqing back to the palace. If the Grand Tutor was unwilling to give in, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to achieve his wish.

After Mo Ling comforted the young general who came to rescue him, he looked at Feng Jiuqing with tender eyes.

Feng Jiuqing had tears in his eyes as he looked at Mo Ling with concern and a hint of self-blame.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace early and ask the imperial physician to come and see Your Majesty. Ah He is worried."

"Okay, Ah He, don't cry, come back to the palace with me."

The young general sent Mo Ling and Feng Jiuqing back to the palace. As expected, Mo Ling gave him a generous reward and promoted him.

Feng Jiuqing lowered his eyes. He was also rewarded with the credit for saving the emperor, but back then he got nothing except an extremely bitter medicine to drink.

Therefore, being Mo Ling's bedside companion is not worth it. Not only do you have no merits, but you are also suspected. You are worse than an insignificant minister.

The young general left happily, and after the imperial physician's treatment, Mo Ling coaxed Feng Jiuqing to go to the imperial garden to relax.

After Feng Jiuqing left, Mo Ling's face darkened. He directly summoned the Minister of Justice to investigate the attack and punished the City Patrol Department and Jingzhao Prefecture.

At the feet of the emperor, on the streets of the capital, he, the emperor, was assassinated without any sign of the Jingzhao Prefecture and the City Patrol. If it was other ordinary people who were attacked without the protection of the secret guards, who knows what would have happened.

This group of people are so lazy. How can he rest assured and leave the safety of the capital to them?

While Mo Ling was planning to clean up these two, Feng Jiuqing met King Nancheng in the imperial garden.

Unlike the last time he met the King of Nancheng, this time the King of Nancheng had a smile on his face. He looked at Feng Jiuqing gently and said, "You are Ah He, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? I am the King of Nancheng. You can call me the Emperor's brother as Your Majesty does."

Feng Jiuqing lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. This King of Nancheng has many faces. They are all him, but with different identities, so King of Nancheng's attitude towards him is also different.

However, why should he, a son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, call him Royal Brother like Mo Ling did? Is the King of Nancheng thinking too much?

"Ah He meets His Royal Highness the King of Nancheng."

Mo Fei immediately helped Feng Jiuqing up and said with a chuckle, "Why be so distant? If A Ling knew, he would probably blame me."

Feng Jiuqing lowered his head and said timidly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess said that etiquette cannot be abolished."

King Nancheng smiled, pulled him to a pavilion and sat him down, and said softly: "Ah He is very polite, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has brought up Ah He very well."

Thank you for the compliment, but Her Royal Highness the Princess has never taught Feng Jiuqing a lesson for a day. As for whether Ah He has been taught a lesson, he doesn’t know.

"But we are family after all, so there is no need to be so distant. The princess is my aunt, and according to seniority, Ah He should call me cousin."

They are really a cousin who is thousands of miles apart. His mother, Princess Lanshu, is the descendant of an important official but not of royal blood. She was only conferred the title of princess to provide compensation for her grandfather and uncle who died in battle.

Feng Jiuqing lowered his head and said nothing. Who would want to have anything to do with him? Even though Prince Nancheng seemed to be smiling so happily now, who knew what he was thinking?

Prince Nancheng still had a smile on his face. Seeing that Feng Jiuqing didn't say anything, he changed the subject.

"What does Ah He think of Ah Ling?"

Oh, you're setting a trap for him now? How's Mo Ling? Ha, if he tells the truth, Feng Jiuqing will tell him that he's not that good.

"Your Majesty is fine." No way!

Nancheng's smile grew wider. "Does Ah He like it?"

Feng Jiuqing's face was tinged with red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his eyes: "I like it."

I don’t like it! I didn’t like it before, I don’t like it now, and I won’t like it in the future!

Anyone who wants this piece of shit can have it, but Feng Jiuqing doesn’t want it.

King Nancheng didn't know what Feng Jiuqing was thinking, so he smiled softly and said, "In that case, why don't I help you and tell A Ling about your worries? He should be very happy."

Feng Jiuqing lowered his head even more, and his ears turned a little red.

"No, no!"

"Why?" A hint of doubt flashed in King Nancheng's eyes.

Feng Jiuqing raised his eyes with tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The person your majesty likes is Mingqing, not Ah He. Ah He knows that your majesty is just using Ah He as a substitute for Mingqing."

Nancheng Wang smiled gently and said, "But Mingqing is dead. You, Ah He, are the only one left in this world. Even if Ah Ling likes Mingqing, they have only been together for two or three months. If you stay with Ah Ling for a longer time, you will sooner or later replace Mingqing in Ah Ling's heart."
