Chapter 269
And what about Xiao Qiyu?
In order to show his support for the prince, he had the smallest number of guards and staff around him among the princes.

Therefore, Xiao Qiyu asked Xiao Muze for help - also hoping that Xiao Muze would gain the skill of following the dragon from the side.

Therefore, Xiao Muze took ten people from his bodyguard to protect the prince.

"I didn't originally plan to send Ling Yi. But in the end, Ling Yi took the initiative. He wanted to gain credit and have his title upgraded. That way, if we get married in the future, we will have face. Speaking of which, it's me. It delayed him. But I asked him to return to the Northland Army, but he refused."

Xiao Muze frowned and said.

Ling Yi is a secret guard who was born as a slave.

Later, he made a lot of achievements with Xiao Muze, and Xiao Muze took this opportunity to turn him into a good official.

Therefore, Ling Yi can now receive the fictitious title of a sixth-grade school captain.

However, Ling Yi's identity was there after all.

Not to mention that it is well known, but anyone who is willing to investigate can always find it.Therefore, it will be more difficult for him to rise further.

Especially after he came to the capital to guard Xiao Muze, he even had fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Originally, Ling Yi focused on guarding Xiao Muze and did not care about his official position.

However, now that he is thinking about starting a family, he naturally wants to work hard for Chun Nuan and his future heirs.

"Ling Yi is also transparent. His background is flawed, and he is your personal guard. Even if he returns to the military camp, he will be in a difficult situation. First, he will be criticized by his master. Second, he will not be protected by you. Now, how can others easily let him take the lead? After all, there are many people in the army who are already good people and are waiting to make meritorious deeds."

Liu Xinning sighed lightly.

Identity is something that cannot be broken.However, the difficulty is too high.

"So, he might as well follow you. If you return to the battlefield in the future, he can be promoted naturally if he performs meritorious service. The difference between the promotion of the guardian and the promotion of the betrayer is not 01:30."

Xiao Muze nodded when he heard this.

Yes, he also knows this.Therefore, he planned to write a letter to explain that he was the one who asked Ling Yi to return to the military camp.

Unfortunately, Ling Yi knew the right way to change the name, so he refused.

Now, Ling Yi followed to protect the prince.I just hope that the prince can remember this little meritless but hard-working act of guarding and change his position.

At least, Ling Yi's face would be bright when he got married.

"However, Ninth Cousin is really...not only has he no intention of competing for the throne, but he also tries his best to assist the prince. Alas."

Liu Xinning thought of Xiao Qiyu again and couldn't help but sigh.

Previously, she had thought that it would be better to directly support the Ninth Prince to ascend to the throne, that would be the best way to get it done in one step.

As a result, she asked Xiao Muze to inquire about it, but Xiao Qiyu himself had no intention of competing for the position.

He only wanted to be a good, loyal and capable brother, so naturally she couldn't try to seduce him.

Therefore, we can only let nature take its course and wait until the prince dies of illness.

When the time comes, Xiao Qiyu will have to fight for that position not only for himself, but also for the people who follow the prince.

"Yes. Qiyu said that it is easy to be lonely when sitting in that position. He said that he is fine now. He has a beloved woman, a close friend who is as close as a brother, and a future emperor to protect him. Why should he worry about that? ?”

Xiao Muze didn't particularly care whether Xiao Qiyu sat in that seat.

After all, the current prince is relatively clear-sighted in terms of political affairs.

However, the Crown Princess went a little too far.Always claiming to be caring, he wants to give women to the clan members like them.

Even though he had the imperial edict, the princess just pretended not to know about it and said she would send it to those who were waiting for her.

This made Xiao Muze very unhappy.

However, this is not a big deal, and all the efforts of the prince cannot be wiped out just because of this.

Besides, after he and Xiao Qiyu complained to the prince several times, the prince became more honest.

"If he doesn't want to fight for it, forget it."

Liu Xinning said no more.For now, we can only let nature take its course.

So, Liu Xinning waited for Ling Yi's return with Chun Nuan.

Because he knew that Ling Yi was going to protect the prince and would not be returning soon, Chun Nuan was not particularly anxious about it.

Her focus was more on Liu Xinning.

After all, Liu Xinning's wedding is in September.

After Liu Xinning, the master, made the arrangements, all that was left was for their subordinates to carry out the arrangements.

In this way, the days passed day by day.

Liu Xinning was enjoying life leisurely, while everyone in the eldest princess's mansion was busy preparing for Princess Zhaoyang's wedding.

Xiao Muze also devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparations for the wedding, and communicated specific details with the steward and others whenever he had time.

The days are busy and joyful.

Until June 22, the peaceful life was broken.

Xiao Muze's bodyguard Ling Twelve, a person who was usually cold and stern, now ran to the eldest princess's mansion in panic.

"Princess Princess, please let Miss Chunnuan go and see Brother Ling. He... is seriously injured, I'm afraid..."

Ling Twelve choked up.

"what?"

When Liu Xinning heard this, she couldn't help but stood up.

Chun Nuan, who was waiting next to him, felt his legs weaken and fell directly to the ground.

"There was an assassination attempt on the prince's way back to the capital. Brother Ling blocked the sword for the prince. So... now, brother Ling is still in a coma. The prince is looking after him personally, and he asked his subordinates to invite Miss Chun Nuan to come over."

Ling Twelve choked up and tried to speak clearly.

Chun Nuan glanced at Liu Xinning and wanted to ask for instructions.However, she cried so much that she couldn't even speak.

Liu Xinning was anxious: "Go quickly. You go first, I will be there soon."

Liu Xinning was in the inner courtyard of the mansion, so she only wore homely clothes.

This Ling Twelve was eager to meet, and she just wore a coat to meet guests.

If you go out, you have to change into the big clothes to meet guests.

Therefore, Liu Xinning let Chun Nuan go first.

When Chun Nuan heard this, she hurriedly got up from the ground with hands and feet, and rushed out.

Ling Twelve saluted Liu Xinning and hurried out.

After Liu Xinning asked Dan Yan and Long Yue to quickly change her clothes for going out, she hurried to Prince Zhan's Mansion.

When she arrived, she saw Chun Nuan sitting in front of Ling Yi's bed, crying as she stared at the blood-oozing wound on Ling Yi's chest.

After Liu Xinning looked at the pale Ling Yi, she followed the heavy-faced Xiao Muze into the yard.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Liu Xinning asked with a frown.

"Both the government doctor and the imperial doctor have looked at it and said that Ling Yi has injured his lungs and is currently hanging up with medicine. We just have to see if he can survive it."

Xiao Muze's words were full of worry.

Ling Yi is nine years older than him.

Ever since he could remember, he had been by his side to protect him.

Therefore, he always treated Ling Yi as an older brother.

Now, looking at Ling Yi's dying appearance, how could he not feel heartbroken?
