Chapter 212: Only Fools Tell the Truth

Chapter 212 Only a Fool Tells the Truth
A cold light flashed.

The next moment, a dagger was aimed at Ying Ning's neck.

Yingning's scalp was numb, and she hurriedly shouted: "Hold on, Your Majesty! It's me! My own!"

The person holding the dagger is the current emperor of Daxuan, Emperor Jingwen.

Emperor Jing Wen saw that it was Ying Ning, and the murderous intent in his eyes instantly dissipated, and he relaxed. He hurriedly took away the dagger, sat back, and wiped his sweat with his hand: "So it was you girl. I thought it was an assassin chasing after me." gone."

Ying Ning hurriedly saluted first.

"Okay, it's about this time, let's not worry about these vain rituals." The emperor waved his hands, his voice hoarse and weak.

The emperor was in his fifties, usually invisible in brocade clothes, but now his hair was slightly disheveled, his expression was slightly pale, and he immediately became old.

Ying Ning sat aside, and glanced at another person lying beside the emperor.

Gu Changyuan.

He was lying on his side with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was unconscious or asleep.

From Yingning's perspective, one could clearly see that the clothes on his back were torn and stained with blood.

"Your Highness, this is?"

"Lao Liu was injured in order to protect me." The emperor looked at his son with a worried expression, "A group of assassins came last night, and they found my tent accurately. If Lao Liu hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have... I found a carriage and escaped with me. I didn’t expect it to be the carriage of the tenth princess, and I don’t know what happened to the tenth princess.”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are many guards around the tenth princess, as well as my father and elder brother. They will protect the princess and all the adults."

"I know this too, but those assassins clearly came prepared."

"They actually know exactly which tent the emperor is in. I'm afraid..." Yingning guessed, "Is there a traitor among us?"

The emperor's expression was serious: "After we go back, I must investigate strictly." He glanced at Yingning, "You girl, why did you run here alone?"

Ying Ning explained: "The assassins attacked last night. I rode a horse to avoid the assassins. I ran into the woods and got lost. It took me a long time to get here. Who knew it was such a coincidence that I met His Majesty."

It would be a fool to tell the truth to the emperor.

If the emperor knew that the moment the assassin came, Li Fucheng, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, would run to his sister's tent, send her away first, and then go to meet his father, and then lead the guards to fight the assassin, To protect the emperor, princes and princesses, what would he think?
Among other things, he is absolutely skeptical about his loyalty.

In the emperor's heart, everyone must put the emperor's safety and mood first, and there is no other room for change.

The sage said that the ruler of heaven and earth is the master, and the emperor is the emperor, who is only below the heaven and earth.

Seeing that the emperor's lips were chapped, Ying Ning knew that he must be hungry and thirsty after running around all night in fright and fleeing in a hurry, so she turned around and got on her own horse, brought water and dry food, and said, "Your Majesty, the conditions are limited. Just drink some water. Depending on the time, we will be back in the capital at noon."

"How do you have food?" The emperor was surprised.

"Oh, because of my previous experience, my servant is used to hanging some food and drink on the horse's back in case of emergencies. I didn't expect it to be really useful this time." Ying Ning opened her mouth and opened the door Kettle, pass it to the emperor.

The emperor immediately took it, gulped down a big gulp, and let out a long sigh of relief.
