Consort Xian was a little excited, looked around, and finally covered her mouth with her hands and whispered, "Sister, you don't know, Xiao Er already has a sweetheart."

Yixiu was surprised and said, "Whose girl is she? How come I don't know? Well, Yun'er, you even hid it from me."

Concubine Xian smiled, took Yixiu's hand and explained, "My dear sister, I didn't mean to hide it. I just discovered a few days ago that the waiter had gone through my storeroom and picked out some gold and silver jewelry."

Consort Xian sighed, "I was shocked at the time. Now that he works for the Crown Prince, he has to socialize outside. I thought he'd met some shabby woman out there. After much inquiry, I found out he'd fallen for the daughter of Guaerjia Emin, the Deputy Chief Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate."

After hearing this, Yixiu's eyes couldn't help but twitch. Could it be Guaerjia Wenyuan, the Concubine Qi in her previous life?

Seeing that Yixiu was even more surprised than she was, Concubine Xian couldn't help but laugh. "When I heard the news, I was just as shocked as you. How could this waiter be so fond of a girl from the Guarjia clan? I don't know what kind of person she is, and how she caught the waiter's eye."

Yixiu observed the curve of Concubine Xian's lips and asked calmly, "How did Xiao Er fall in love with her? Most women in the boudoir are kept in the mansion. How did the two of you meet?"

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "I've had someone investigate. I heard that this Guaerjia woman came across the waiter while she was burning incense at the temple. The girl was truly beautiful, and her temper was fiery. The waiter fell for her instantly."

Although Guaerjia's background was ordinary, she was really beautiful. Concubine Xian didn't want her son to marry a woman with a good family background, so she thought her son had good taste.

Now, the emperor is in poor health, the prince is regent, and his son has no intention of competing for the throne. If he marries a wife of too high a status, it will only bring unnecessary trouble.

Now it’s just right. Since my son likes it, why not fulfill his wish?

Yixiu nodded and said, "Since the child likes it, then we as parents cannot deny the child's wish. As long as Xiao Er and the girl are in love, after the selection of the crown prince is completed, I will grant Xiao Er and her a marriage."

.........

Thousands of miles away, the Dzungar Khan died and his son Moghul Khan ascended the throne.

This person had long harbored rebellious intentions, and after receiving the letter from the capital, he smiled faintly.

"The emperor is seriously ill, and the crown prince is acting as regent. Now is a good time! Bayan is an idiot, but no matter how stupid he is, he is still from our Junggar tribe and represents the face of our Junggar. Since the crown prince dared to punish him for a pariah, he is slapping us in the face!"

Mog Khan said.

The guards under his command couldn't help but ask, "What does that big man mean?"

Mog Khan threw the letter from the capital into the furnace and sneered, "First, send a few good men to test the prince and see how deep the waters of the capital are. If there is a suitable opportunity, this Khan will personally go to the capital to visit the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

The people below replied: "Yes!"

East Palace

The prince sneezed and curled his nose. "Who missed me?"

As he walked out, he told his men not to follow him closely. He was going out on business, and if a large group of people followed him, it would easily alert the enemy.

Over the years, the prince has also established his own intelligence system outside. As the prince of a country, he must be aware of the corrupt officials in the court and the living conditions of the people.

However, the prince did not expect that before he reached the restaurant, he was blocked by several men in black in an alley at a corner.

The men in black didn't say anything. They just picked up the scimitars in their hands and rushed towards the prince.

The prince was a little surprised and quickly used some moves to dodge.

While resisting, the prince carefully observed the weapon used by the man in black.

After fighting for a while, the prince was almost certain that these people were sent by Mongolia. These killers were burly in build, wielded Mongolian scimitars, were very strong, and their reckless and brutal fighting style was different from the martial arts of the Central Plains.

In the dark, a long arrow was aimed at the prince, ready to be shot.

With a whoosh, the arrow streaked through the sky and shot towards the prince. Suddenly, a figure in white appeared and pushed the prince away, shouting, "Be careful!"

The prince looked back nervously, no way, no way, could it be that he blocked the arrow for me?

With a snapping sound, the long sword in Zhou Xiuniang's hand broke!

"Don't just stand there, get out of the way!"

Zhou Xiuniang would certainly not be stupid enough to use her own body to shield the prince from arrows. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life is life, and her own life is also life!

Wouldn't it be better to use weapons to block if you have them?

There were only two people, the prince and Zhou Xiuniang, but there were six or seven Mongolian killers in black, and the two of them were soon unable to withstand them.

Although Zhou Xiuniang was agile, she was a girl after all, and she soon ran out of strength and was accidentally stabbed by someone.

The blood stained the white robe red, making it particularly eye-catching. Zhou Xiuniang cried out in pain: "Isn't it that I am telling you that with such a noble status, how come you don't have anyone around you?"

The prince was about to cry but couldn't. "Who would have thought I'd be so unlucky today? If I had known earlier I would have asked them to follow more closely."

But he did not dare to be careless in his movements. Now, Zhou Xiuniang was injured, and the prince's moves were mostly defensive. As long as they could hold on until the guards around him arrived, they could turn defeat into victory.

After a while, the guards who followed the prince arrived. These people were no match for him and retreated.

The prince ordered: "Chase after him and capture him alive."

Some people caught up with the killer, while the others stayed where they were, preparing to send the prince back to the East Palace.

The prince looked at Zhou Xiuniang nervously, with a hint of guilt in his eyes. "It's all my fault. I made you suffer this punishment for me."

I was embarrassed enough because I misunderstood him last time, and today I have to face the added burden of having him save my life.

If Zhou Xiuniang had not blocked the arrow with her sword, he would have been seriously injured.

Although Zhou Xiuniang had been in the underworld for several years, most of the people in the underworld would stop at nothing unless they had a deep hatred. She had never encountered such a situation where people would kill her with a knife.

Zhou Xiuniang covered her arm with her hand and said cautiously, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status. It is an honor for me to save His Highness the Crown Prince. However, I was seriously injured today. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will forgive my rudeness and allow me to go back and heal my wounds."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly to the prince and turned to leave.

How could the prince let her go? He grabbed Zhou Xiuniang's hand and said, "Come with me to the Eastern Palace. There are imperial physicians in the Eastern Palace. You are my savior, and I must repay you well."
