Fragrance Returned

After eating, Xunxiang and the young monk went for a walk outside the temple.

Although the sun is blazing, it is very pleasant to walk under the dense shade of trees and listen to the cicadas chirping and the frogs croaking. The little monk said something he had been holding back for a long time and felt much more relaxed.

From a distance, I saw Abbot Hui Ren accompanying the seventh prince, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Xun Xiang remember that she had not helped Ding Chi to ask Master Mingyuan whether the consequences of the "backlash" could be cured.

There are too many things going on today, I have to wait until next time.

At the beginning of the day, Xunxiang came down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, I met the Seventh Prince again. He was standing with Qiu Wangzhi under a big tree on the side of a mountain, talking. The large branches are lush with leaves, blocking the scorching sun.

The seventh prince's escort was far away, and he seemed to be telling Qiu Wangzhi something he didn't want others to hear.

The seventh prince will only turn fifteen at the end of this year. He still has a childish look on his face and has a few red pimples on his forehead. Three women will be selected for him in this draft.

Xunxiang secretly cursed, really killing the little flower boy.

Seeing Xun Xiang, the Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Xiang Xiang, you are here too."

He walked towards Xunxiang, followed by Qiu Wang.

Xun Xiang also walked towards them, "Uncle Seventh Emperor, Mr. Qiu."

Apart from Hong Yi, among the other princes, if Xun Xiang had to choose a more reliable person, it would be the seventh prince.

Although he is impulsive, he is more normal than the other princes, and his biological mother, Concubine Jia, is also relatively honest and mediocre.

The reason why Concubine Jia was promoted to concubine over several other women was that the emperor felt that she was honest and honest and could not let honest people suffer.

To put it bluntly, it’s just for people to see.

Now the mother and son were set up to fight with King Qi and Concubine Li. He came to pray at this juncture, but I don’t know who inspired him to do so.

Just after walking a few steps, there was a loud "bang" and a big stone rolled down.

The big rock, carrying dirt and gravel, hit the tree where the Seventh Prince and Qiu Wangzhi were standing just now, breaking the branches and falling to the ground.

This incident scared everyone, including Xun Xiang.

In an instant, Qiu Wang pushed away the seventh prince beside him. The seventh prince was pushed out more than a foot away and lay straight on the ground, holding his head subconsciously.

Qiu Wangzhi rushed to Xunxiang. Xunxiang was already being hugged by Yuhuan, who was always following him. Qiu Wangzhi was protecting Yuhuan.

Qiu Wangzhi was hit by the jumping gravel, but Xunxiang was unscathed.

The guards and eunuchs rushed over shouting, "Escort, escort..."

The seventh prince was helped up, and his hands and knees were broken. He couldn't feel the pain. Looking at the big rocks in front of him, as well as the scattered gravel and earth branches, he was still confused.

Qiu Wangzhi asked, "Princess, are you okay?"

Xunxiang shook his head, "I'm fine, how about you?"

Qiu Wangzhi stood up, "I'm fine, too." He clasped his fists at the seventh prince and said, "I pushed the seventh prince out of desperation. I deserve to die. I will go to the emperor to plead guilty."

The seventh prince also knew that Qiu Wangzhi had saved him just now. It's just that in order to save Xunxiang again, he saved himself rather rudely.

He didn't blame Qiu Wangzhi. If Xiangxiang was injured in front of him and Qiu Wangzhi, but he was unscathed, his father would not only punish Qiu Wangzhi harshly, but he would also be in trouble.

He said, "Master Qiu saved me, how could I blame you? Xiangxiang is a girl, so we should protect her first."

Qiu Wangzhi said to the guards again, "You guys will protect the seventh prince and the princess and go over there to rest. You guys will follow me to the top to have a look."

His thigh was hit by a piece of gravel, and he limped with a few people up the mountain to check what was going on and whether someone was deliberately plotting to kill the Seventh Prince and Princess Xiangxiang.

To be more precise, it was a plot to kill the Seventh Prince. He already had a guess in his mind and needed to find evidence.

Four other people nearby were slightly injured, all hit by falling debris.

The Seventh Prince and Xun Xiang were taken to a simple tea shop in front. The tea shop only has a thatched roof supported by a few logs. Tea drinkers and spectators have been cleared away.

The seventh prince's face was still pale and his body was trembling a little.

He looked at the mess in front of him and said, "Isn't it someone's intention?"

His personal Tai Lin raised his head and looked at the place where the big rock fell, bowed and said, "The Seventh Prince is kind-hearted and has never offended anyone, right? Look at that place. It should be caused by the heavy rains in the past few days that caused the soil to loosen. The boulder is falling. Ouch, the slave deserves to die."

Xunxiang was speechless.

She believed that the falling of the boulder was not a coincidence. If the seventh prince was killed or injured at this time, the emperor's body would be even worse due to the stimulation. King Qi would have to use it if he didn't want to.

It shouldn't be a coincidence that Qiu Wangzhi came here today. He knew the ambitions of King Qi and Concubine Li, so there was no guarantee that they would secretly protect the seventh prince.

But he never dreamed that life is full of accidents, and a big rock would suddenly fall on top of his head, almost killing him.

His great prosperity was saved by his own extreme prosperity.

Who attracted the Seventh Prince to come to pray today, and who attracted him to stand there, can be found out after a quick check.

Xun Xiangkuan explained, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a good future. Uncle Seven Emperors will have a good future."

The Seventh Prince said, "The one who is blessed is Xiangxiang. If he hadn't walked toward you, my uncle might have been smashed to death. It's a great blessing that I would like to thank you."

The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. If he hadn't met Xiangxiang just now and taken a few steps forward, he might have been killed.

It won't do to smash it.

Looking at Xun Xiang who was calm and composed, the seventh prince felt a little ashamed. The little girl is not afraid, so why are you so timid?

He fanned the big fan a few more times and said, "Don't be afraid of Xiangxiang. If Mr. Qiu hadn't pushed uncle down just now, uncle would have gone to save Xiangxiang immediately."

Xunxiang pursed her lips and smiled, "I know."

More than an hour later, officials from Jingzhao Mansion and the county government arrived.

After asking them some questions, Xunxiang and the seventh prince took a car to Beijing.

When we returned to the Princess Mansion, the sky was already filled with stars. As soon as Xunxiang entered the door, she was invited to the outer study.

The news that the Seventh Prince and Xun Xiang were almost killed by a boulder had reached the capital, and Xun Prince Consort and Ding Zhao were waiting anxiously.

The two of them took Xunxiang and looked carefully up and down, left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that their daughter was not injured.

Prince Consort Xun said, "Remember Xiangxiang, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall."

Xunxiang nodded. Secretly, who knows where there is a dangerous wall? If a bad person wants to harm you, there is a dangerous wall everywhere.

The best way is to eliminate the bad guys first.

Ding Zhao added, "Try to go out as little as possible. If you must go out, take more people with you."

Xunxiang nodded her head in agreement.

Consort Xun praised Yuhuan's timely protection and rewarded her with fifty taels of silver.

Ding Zhao rewarded her with forty silver coins.

It's not that Ding Zhao is stingy, but that his status determines it. Ding Zhao cannot reward him as much as the Prince Consort.

Hearing that Qiu Wangzhi once again helped his daughter block a flying stone, Prince Consort Xun said, "Thank you Master Qiu, he helped us a lot. When your brother Xiu Mu, you can go to Qiu Mansion to thank him."

He doesn't like favors coming and going, so he leaves them all to his son. (End of chapter)
