Chapter 134: Anger


It was dark at night.

Accompanied by Jiao Xin and Yihu, I headed through the underground passage to the farm outside the city.

The main reason I came this time was to visit the injured Qiu Yichen.

Qiu Yichen's injuries were more serious than I imagined.

The arrow pierced his left lung, and there were two stab wounds on his right leg that were as deep as the bone.

The feather arrow had been taken out of his body.

Qiu Yichen was lying on the bed with a pale face and his breathing was extremely weak.

Hearing my footsteps, he opened his eyes and struggled to sit up.

I rushed forward in a hurry, held his shoulders and said, "Brother Qiu, lie down and have a good rest."

Qiu Yichen lay down weakly, his throat moved but he couldn't speak.

I took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table beside me.

Inside was the golden medicine that Huiqiao specially prepared for me.

When I went to see Qiu Yichen again, he had already passed out.

I shook my head sadly.

Qiu Yichen's injury was so serious.

How could I explain it to Zi Ning?

Arriving outside the room, Yihu followed quietly and whispered: "It was Zuo Dongxiang who shot Brother Qiu."

I said coldly: "One day, I will make that bastard Zuo Dongxiang repay his debt with blood."

Yihu said: "Brother-in-law, this is not the way to go.

Brother Qiu's injury is too serious.

We need to find a doctor for him as soon as possible."

I nodded.

It seemed that the doctors in the palace were helpless about Qiu Yichen's injury.

I suddenly thought of a candidate.

Zhou Duhan, the imperial doctor of Dakang, had superb medical skills.

If he could be invited here, Qiu Yichen's injury would definitely be improved.

Jiao Xin walked towards us from the giant waterwheel.

He smiled and said, "Zuo Zhuliu's daughter kept insulting you, so I sealed my mouth."

I couldn't help but laugh: "How did she know that the person behind this was me?

It seems that Zuo Yuyi has some sense."

I said to Jiao Xin: "Take two of your men over and threaten her.

Give her a taste of the power and let this unruly girl suffer a little bit."

Jiao Xin smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do this well."

I asked, "Zuo Yuyi is still quite pretty.

You have to keep a close eye on these warriors and don't do anything bad."

Jiao Xin said: "I understand."

When I returned to the palace, I saw that the lights were still on in the living room, and I faintly heard bursts of laughter.

I recognized that one of them was Chu'er, and the other male voice was a bit unfamiliar, but I didn't know what guests would come to visit at night.

With full of doubts, I walked towards the living room, only to see Chu'er talking with a blue-shirted scholar.

That Confucian scholar was clearly the Yuan Tianchi we met in front of Qiuzi Village who wanted to do divination for me.

When Chu'er saw me coming in, she stood up with a smile and said, "Your Highness, Mr.

Yuan has been waiting for you here for a long time."

If Yuan Tianchi doesn't come to me, I will find a way to find him.

This person gave me the illusion that Ming'er was among boys and girls, but I don't know what his purpose is.

I sat down next to Yuan Tianchi and said with a smile: "What kind of advice does Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Yuan have here this time?"

Yuan Tianchi smiled and said: "Yuan came here this time because he was entrusted by others."

My eyebrows are slightly twitching, but I don’t know who entrusted Yuan Tianchi to come find me.

Yuan Tianchi said: "I was asked to tell the young master that the young princess and Miss Qu are safe and sound."

I turned around suddenly, stared at Yuan Tianchi and said, "Who asked you to deliver this message?"

Yuan Tianchi's expression was extremely calm, and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "He won't let me say it.

Yuan always values ​​promises, so he won't say it."

I said sincerely: "Mr.

Yuan, my daughter is still in her infancy, and her mother is crying day and night, living in misery.

Please do me a favor and tell her the news."

Yuan Tianchi said: "His Royal Highness, he asked me to tell you that the little princess and Miss Qu are all fine.

You don't have to worry about this.

It won't take too long and you will be able to reunite as a family."

I whispered: "Is it Caixue who asked you to send the message?"

Yuan Tianchi smiled calmly and said: "I will never say it."

I nodded silently and stopped asking questions.

Yuan Tianchi said: "Yuan came here this time to remind His Highness of something."

I said with great interest: "Mr.

Yuan, come and listen."

Yuan Tianchi said: "Five hundred boys and girls have been rescued, the alchemy furnace has collapsed, and the more than ten alchemists have been killed by the people, but this matter is still not over.

Emperor Xinde will still find new alchemists to make alchemy for him."

Ask for medicine.

Has Your Highness thought of a way to eradicate this matter?"

I shook my head.

I haven't had time to think about this matter yet.

Yuan Tianchi is right.

Emperor Xinde will never stop seeking immortality and refining medicine because of this setback, and may even get more serious about it.

Yuan Tianchi said: "The reason why Emperor Xinde repeatedly made mistakes has a lot to do with the group of alchemists around him.

Your Highness must think of a way to make him a gentleman and stay away from villains, so as not to cause trouble to Zuo Zhuliu and others."

An opportunity to take advantage of.”

I smiled and said, "Since Mr.

Yuan said this, he must have already had a solution in mind.

Yinkong is all ears."

Yuan Tianchi said: "Yuan is not talented, but he has a lot of experience in health preservation.

To be honest, I am much better than the group of alchemists around Emperor Xinde."

I smiled and said, "Mr.

Yuan wants to help me."

Yuan Tianchi shook his head and said: "It's not that I want to help you, but someone asked me to help you."

I smiled calmly and said, "How do I know whether Mr.

Yuan will lie to me?"

Yuan Tianchi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes have told me that you will definitely bring me to Emperor Xinde."

I chuckled and said: "There are few people in the world who are more conceited than me, and Mr.

Yuan is exactly one of them."

Yuan Tianchi said: "If I don't even have this little self-confidence, can His Highness the Prince trust me to make elixirs for Emperor Xinde to live forever?"

Although I can't confirm it, I firmly believe that Yuan Tianchi's visit this time must be related to Caixue.

What kind of secret does Caixue have?

Why didn't she tell me personally?

Yuan Tianchi's knowledge far exceeded my imagination.

He spent the whole morning talking to Emperor Xinde about health preservation.

Emperor Xinde's originally depressed mood became much brighter due to his arrival, and he laughed heartily from time to time.

On the contrary, I, the prince, was left aside in the cold.

I took the opportunity to go to the imperial infirmary to find Zhou Duhan.

When I arrived at the imperial infirmary, Zhou Duhan happened to be returning from practicing medicine outside with a medicine box on his back.

When he saw me, he respectfully said: "I am here to see you, Your Highness."

I smiled and said, "Physician Zhou doesn't need to be so polite to me."

Zhou Duhan said: "The prince came to see Wei Chen for something?"

I smiled and said, "Someone under my command is sick.

I specially asked Mr.

Zhou to take a look at him.

I wonder if you have time?"

Zhou Duhan said: "Since the prince has given orders, Weichen will definitely obey.

However, Weichen must first help Concubine Zhen prepare the medicine and deliver it."

I was slightly startled and blurted out: "What's wrong with Concubine Zhen?"

Then I remembered that on the birthday of Emperor Xinde, I didn't see Concubine Zhen appear.

It turned out that she was ill.

Zhou Duhan said: "Concubine Zhen is just infected with wind and cold.

It is not serious at first, but she seems to be in a bad mood recently.

Her condition has been recurring for many days, but she still has not improved."

I felt sad in my heart, the reason why Concubine Zhen was like this must be because of me.

But there are Emperor Xinde’s eyes and ears everywhere in this palace, how can I see her?

Zhou Duhan said: "How about this?

I will go to the palace tonight to diagnose the diseases of the prince's men."

I nodded and said, "That's very good."

But I felt extremely disappointed.

Back at the Yangxin Hall, Yuan Tianchi was still talking eloquently with Emperor Xinde.

I wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Emperor Xinde stopped me and said, "Yinkong, come here and listen together.

Mr.

Yuan's insights are indeed extremely brilliant.

"Since reaching a tacit understanding with me, his attitude towards me has obviously improved a lot.

I thought to myself: "This is just to suit your taste, I won't be interested in it."

On the surface, I sat aside with a humble look on my face.

Yuan Tianchi smiled slightly and continued to talk about those illusory topics of immortality.

I could only listen patiently.

I really didn't understand how Emperor Xinde could believe these baseless things.

However, Yuan Tianchi spoke vividly and quoted from other sources, making it sound like it was true.

Perhaps the closer a person is to death, the more hopeful he is for immortality.

I wonder if I will be like Emperor Xin De when I get old.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

I couldn't help but be slightly startled.

The turmoil in the palace yesterday had just subsided, so nothing would happen again.

At this time, the little eunuch ran in from the outside out of breath and gasped: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened.

There is a fire over there in Qingyue Palace."

I suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "What did you say?"

Before Luo Guo finished repeating this sentence, I had already run towards the Qingyue Palace.

That was the place where I grew up, and the spiritual tablet of my mother Ping Guifei is still placed there.

To me, the Qingyue Palace has extraordinary significance. .

When I arrived at Qingyue Palace, the fire had been basically contained, and a dozen young eunuchs were carrying buckets of water to put out the still burning flames.

I kicked open the palace door and rushed in.

Although the fire had weakened, the smoke was so thick that I couldn't open my eyes.

According to my original memory, I finally found the location of my mother's mourning hall, but it was already there.

Turned into a pile of ashes, the anger caused my body to tremble violently, I raised my head and roared wildly.

I strode out of the palace and grabbed a young eunuch.

I yelled angrily: "You bastard, who started the fire?"

The little eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and his face turned pale.

A burst of crazy laughter came from the distance: "I set off the Long Yin Kong Fire.

I'm going to burn that bitch to death.

I want her to have no peace after death, hahahahaha."

Concubine Jingde screamed, The two eunuchs were desperately carrying her towards Shude Palace.

My whole body was completely ignited by anger, and I rushed forward at full speed.

The two eunuchs were so frightened that they stood in front of Concubine Jingde, knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the Empress did not do this intentionally."

Concubine Jingde smiled and said: "Who said I didn't do it on purpose?

I did it on purpose.

You made my mother and son unable to see each other.

I want you to taste the same pain."

I punched in both fists, and the pain was biting my heart like a poisonous snake.

My poor mother, who had been dead for many years, still had to suffer the torture of this bitch: "Get away" I let out a low roar, and my eyes were filled with tears.

Revealing the stern killing intent, no one can insult my mother.

I want her to repay everything she has done with a hundred times the pain.

Concubine Jingde was frightened by my eyes.

She stepped back in horror: "What do you want to do?"

I kicked the eunuch in front of me and pushed towards her step by step.

I gritted my teeth and said, "I will kill you bitch today."

"Your Highness," a familiar voice sounded behind me.

I turned around, only to see several concubines standing in the distance who had just heard the news.

One of them was supported by Yu Suo, who was extremely weak.

Poor Chu Chu, she is the concubine Zhen that I miss all the time.

Her call brought me back from the edge of losing control.

My mind gradually calmed down.

I was already the prince of Dakang, no longer the unknown thirty-first prince of Dakang in the past.

There are many ways to deal with Concubine Jingde, why should I choose this most stupid one?

I slowly walked towards Concubine Jingde and said in a voice that only the two of me could hear: "I swear that every one of your children will not die a good death."

Concubine Jingde's eyes flashed with extreme fear, and her pupils revealed the fear from the bottom of her heart.

Only then did she realize that it was too late to be afraid.

Seeing that I finally let go of Concubine Jingde, everyone began to disperse one by one.

I came to the burned door of Qingyue Palace and patted the doorpost sadly.

The little eunuchs around me were afraid that I would be in a bad mood and would be angry with them, so they were so frightened that they quietly fled far away.

Yusuo helped Concubine Zhen walk past me, and I whispered: "Have you ever felt better?"

Concubine Zhen's beautiful eyes showed the lingering affection that was hard to let go.

When she passed me by, she whispered: "I've been thinking of you."

My body froze there, and it took me a long time to turn around, but Concubine Zhen's figure had disappeared into the distance.

After experiencing the catastrophe of the fire, Qingyue Palace looked increasingly cold and desolate.

The palace walls had been smoked black, the withered grass had been burned away, and wisps of green smoke were still rising in many places.

I sat sadly on the stone chair in the palace, recalling every bit of the past life here with my mother, and my eyes suddenly became moist.

There were scattered snowflakes in the sky.

My blood and thoughts seemed to be frozen by the cold air.

It should have taken a long time for the ground to turn from black to white, but for me it happened in an instant.

An umbrella covered the falling snow above my head, and I heard Chu'er's leisurely sigh.

My thoughts finally returned to reality.

Chu'er swept away the falling snow on my body and said softly: "You are almost becoming a snowman."

I smiled stiffly, stretched my arms hard, and my bones made a crisp sound.

Chu'er said: "I really didn't expect that my aunt would do such a thing."

I shook my head and said, "Forget it, she was confused for a moment.

I will not pursue this matter further."

Chu'er burst into tears and said, "It's all my fault for making you suffer so much."

I held Chu'er's catkin and said softly: "Silly girl, what does this have to do with you?"

Chu'er's pretty face was pressed tightly against my arm, and two crystal tears slowly flowed out.

The little eunuch Lonely came from a distance carrying a lantern and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have prepared a room for you and the princess in Yining Palace.

If you don't know the palace tonight, you can go there to rest."

I nodded and said, "You go ahead, I'll stay here for a while and then leave."

Lonely said: "I will prepare carriages and horses for Your Highness to go."

I took Chu'er's slender hand and walked into the burnt-black palace.

I said affectionately: "I have spent my time in this palace since I was born.

My mother taught me to read and write here."

Chu'er held my arm and accompanied me to recall every plant and tree here.

I recounted every past event, and my mother's care and teachings seemed to still echo in my ears.

When Chu'er and I returned to the palace, Zhou Duhan had been waiting there for a long time.

No one else dared to let him see Qiu Yichen without my permission.

I apologized: "Mr.

Zhou has been kept waiting for a long time."

Zhou Duhan smiled and said: "Prince, there is no need to be polite.

I just arrived."

I nodded and said, "Mr.

Zhou, I'm afraid Yinkong will still wrong you a little."

Zhou Duhan said: "Your Majesty, please excuse me."

I personally covered Zhou Duhan's eyes with a black cloth and said softly: "I hope you will forget everything about what and who Mr.

Zhou saw tonight."

Zhou Duhan smiled and said: "Zhou has been practicing medicine in the palace for many years.

I understand the rules.

The prince does not need to worry too much."

I nodded appreciatively, and then asked Tang Mei to drive him out of the city in person.

Chu'er watched Zhou Duhan's retreating figure and said softly: "Can you believe this person?"

"Zhou Duhan is an upright person and knows how to deal with things in the palace.

There should be no problem.

Besides, his eyes are covered and it's snowing heavily outside.

He can't tell where he is."

Chu'er breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "Yinkong, when do you plan to return to Xuancheng?"

I whispered: "The situation in Kangdu is still not stable, and it is too early to leave now.

I want to stay here for about another half month."

I paused and then said: "I want to take advantage of this period of time to stay here again."

Set up a mourning hall for my mother in the palace, and let the craftsmen repair the Qingyue Palace."

Chu'er understood my deep love for my late mother, nodded gently and said, "My dearest lady, I will definitely feel your filial piety."

Early the next morning, Chu'er and I went to the imperial mausoleum to worship our ancestors.

This is also the ancestral precept that every canonized prince follows.

The convoy left Kangdu and traveled about twenty miles southeast, arriving within the scope of the Dakang Emperor's Tomb.

There are a total of eleven imperial mausoleums here, including the kings of Dakang and two princes who died young.

After their death, they were buried in the imperial mausoleums in accordance with the emperor's ceremony.

I paid homage to the late emperors in the ancestral temple, and wrote an inscription on the spot, which will be engraved on the stone tablet as a testimony of my ascension to the position of prince.

Tuo Di, the founding emperor of Dakang, later became a monk, so his body was not buried in the imperial mausoleum.

The current mausoleum only contains his tomb.

After I symbolically offered sacrifices in front of his mausoleum, Chu'er and I walked to the mausoleum of Prince Long Yinji.

I swept away the snow on the tribute platform, took out the sacrifices I had prepared in advance, and placed them respectfully in front of the mausoleum.

Kneeling down solemnly, although Chu'er didn't know why I had so much respect for this late imperial brother, he knelt down along with me.

I performed the nine-kowtow ceremony respectfully and said silently in my heart: "Father, my son is here to see you.

I will complete your ambitions that you were unable to accomplish in the past little by little."

I gently touched the jade bottle in my arms, which contained my mother's ashes.

If they have spirits in heaven, they should be able to feel each other's presence now.

Tears flowed freely along my cheeks.

Only in front of my father's grave did I realize that I couldn't control the emotions in my heart.

I poured out a full glass of wine and sprinkled it on the snow in front of the tomb.

One day, I will give my parents' The skeletons were buried together.

Chu Er said softly: "Is the former prince buried here?"

I nodded and said, "He is the person I respect the most."

There is a stone tablet in front of the prince's mausoleum.

It has no words on it.

My father never ascended the throne, so his merits and demerits are not qualified to be engraved on the stone tablet.

There are two characters on the base of the stone tablet that have been blurred by wind and rain.

It took me a lot of effort to identify them.

Above them are the two characters "Qiu Wu".

My mother has written these two characters many times. , I have never understood the true meaning of these two words.

From a literal point of view, they are sycamores in autumn.

Could this be a sign of the place where they fell in love?

I carefully cleared away the weeds in front of the monument, and didn't leave with Chu'er until dusk.

This turmoil allowed me to successfully eliminate the influence of King Xing and Concubine Jingde in the palace.

Although Zuo Zhuliu's side did not suffer any substantial blow, Zuo Dongxiang gave up the power of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

The new commander of the Imperial Forest Army is Qin Yuji was the general promoted by King Yi.

Although Zuo Dongxiang was demoted to the deputy commander of the Long Xiang Army, due to the vacancy in his official position, the actual power of the Long Xiang Army was still in his hands.

If he wanted to further suppress him, he would have to wait for other opportunities.

After imprisoning Zuo Yuyi for seven days, I instructed Jiao Xin to quietly release her.

Killing her had no real meaning.

Besides, I didn't want to push Zuo Zhuliu into a desperate situation prematurely and let him treat me at all costs. .

After the burning of Qingyue Palace, Emperor Xinde had Concubine Jingde moved to another place.

Perhaps considering the friendship between husband and wife for many years, he did not blame Concubine Jingde deeply.

He just asked the craftsmen to repair Qingyue Palace as soon as possible.

A kind of compensation for me.

Both Chu'er and King Yi knew the status of Qingyue Palace in my mind, and they both felt deeply guilty about this.

Although I said on the surface that I would not continue to pursue the case, in my heart I had long made up my mind to make Concubine Jingde repay double the amount. .

"Brother-in-law" Yihu cheerfully took out a stack of greeting cards and walked in.

I looked at him and already understood what he was going to say.

Since I ascended to the position of prince, there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit me.

I ignored them all.

Yihu said: "The lonely father-in-law in the palace is waiting outside the door.

Do you want to see him?"

I nodded and said, "Let him come in."

Lonely walked in with a smile, knelt down and said: "Slave Lonely, please see the prince Qiantou, Qiantuan, Qianqiantuan" I frowned.

What I hate the most is the cumbersome etiquette in the palace.

I waved my hand and said, "Get up.

Tell me if you have anything to do."

What these eunuchs are best at is observing words and expressions.

Lonely noticed my displeasure and said with a smile: "This slave came here specifically to inform the prince that Qingyue Palace has been renovated.

If the prince is free, you can go there and have a look. " I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go into the palace with you and have a look."

I wanted to call Chu'er to go there with me, but I didn't expect that Chu'er still hasn't gotten up.

This has never happened before.

I came to the bed and gently patted Chu'er's shoulder.

Chu'er opened her eyes.

Opening her beautiful eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did I fall asleep again?"

I smiled and said, "Maybe I've been too tired these past two days.

The sun is so high outside.

If I don't get up, my butt will be burned."

Chu Er said coquettishly: "You know how to talk nonsense."

She stood up and yawned lazily, still looking tired.

My heart moved, and I put my arms around her shoulders and said, "You must have it, right?"

Chu'er's pretty face flushed and said: "Don't talk nonsense."

Then her voice lowered again and she said softly: "But my menstrual period this month has not come yet."

After saying that, she threw herself into my arms in shame.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Very excitedly: "It seems that the child-seeking tree is really effective."

Chu'er said softly: "It can't be confirmed yet."

I chuckled and said, "I was about to enter the palace, and I just happened to invite Dr.

Zhou over and asked him to take your pulse.

Isn't it clear?"

Chu'er looked shy, nodded slightly, and asked: "Don't tell others about this, I'm afraid it's not true."

Chu'er has been looking forward to this child for a long time, and the more this happens, the more she feels in her heart. nervous.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will never let others know until Dr.

Zhou has seen it."

People are really in high spirits when happy events happen.

The good news that Chu'er brought me made me immediately forget the unhappiness of the past few days.

I protected Chu'er with my gentle words, and then followed Luo Lonely to the palace.

After walking out of the palace, I saw that Yihu was still very busy in front of the door.

Some were delivering greeting cards and some were delivering gifts.

There was a long queue in front of the palace.

I couldn't help but shook my head with a wry smile, remembering that when I was still the thirty-first prince, I would never have imagined that such a scene would happen.

Humans are indeed the most realistic animals in the world.

Seeing me coming out, Yihu came up to me and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I returned the gifts as you wanted, but many people put down their invitations and gifts and turned around and left.

Even if I caught up, I couldn't catch up.

I smiled calmly and said: "You can return them one by one according to the names above."

Yihu scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in a month."

I frowned, and suddenly thought of a plan, and whispered: "In this case, sort out the names of all the people who gave gifts, and when you are free in two days, invite them over and return them in person."

Yihu smiled and said: "My brother-in-law still has a way, I will do it right away":
