Chapter 43: The Heir
On the official road leading from Moyang City to Dongyue City, a group of guards dressed in blue armor marched forward in a procession, and there were several wide and comfortable carriages in the ranks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In a carriage, Hua Yue helped Ying Yunshu drink medicine, and when he ran out of medicine, he asked Fu Xin, who was sitting on the side, "Mr. Fu, can there be a cure for this asthma?"
Fu Xin lifted the curtain and looked outside, before he pondered and said, "Prince, when did your illness begin?"
Hua Yue saw that Ying Yunshu was in a daze, so she gently shook his hand and asked softly, "Still uncomfortable?"
Ying Yunshu came back to his senses from his memories and shook his head at Hua Yue before saying: "If Mr. has something to say, just say it, I have had this disease since I was a child, but after an accidental poisoning ten years ago, the illness worsened, whether it is residual poison is still unclear." ”
"What kind of poison did the prince have back then?"
"Flamingos. Ying Yunshu replied.
Fu Xin thought for a moment and said, "The flamingo is extracted from the venom of the red thorn, although it is highly poisonous, it is not difficult to understand. Although the prince's illness resembles asthma, it is actually more like taking some kind of poison for a long time. ”
Hua Yue obviously felt Ying Yunshu's body tremble, and asked incredulously, "You said that the prince has been taking poison for a long time, what kind of poison?"
Fu Xin said: "For the time being, I just suspect that when I get to Dongyue, can I ask the prince to take some blood for me to study." ”
Ying Yunshu closed his eyes and said, "Okay." ”
Half a month later, Hua Yue finally saw Dongyue City, the capital of the firmament, and felt the characteristics of the firmament more and more.
Ten miles outside Dongyue City, there are clansmen on both sides of the official road standing upright like fans, as if welcoming visiting guests. The city wall of Dongyue is surrounded by coconut trees side by side, and the tops of the coconut trees are slightly higher than the city wall, forming a natural coconut umbrella. Shade the guards on the city walls, and the whole gives a sense of harmony.
When the guards saw King Zhengping's blue armor army, they hurriedly let out of the city gate, and the blue armor army entered in an orderly manner.
When he arrived in the city, because Ying Yunshu was unwell, King Zhengping temporarily sent Huayue to the Xiangfu Pavilion to receive foreign envoys on his behalf.
In the Xiangfu Pavilion, Huayu They have arrived a few days ago, and they are anxiously waiting for Huayue, and when they see her coming back, they want to come forward to ask about the situation of these days, but after seeing Zhengping Wang Shengzhique, they temporarily pressed it.
After the two sides met, King Zhengping said: Since the princess has arrived, then I have given the monarch, and tomorrow's dinner will be for the princess to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and the princess will take a rest today to relieve the fatigue of the road, and then leave after speaking.
When Kazuki returned to the room, he was surrounded by Kakage and Hanayu, and asked him what he had done in the past few days.
When Fengying heard that Ying Yunshu was sick again, he frowned and asked, "What did that Cui Shiqi do with in the end?"
Hua Yue said: "Mr. Fu is really a strange person, and if he sets out the laws and regulations of the firmament one by one, he will treat Cui Shiqi for a capital crime that should be punished for colliding with the prince." But in the end, he was saved by King Zhengping, but he was dismissed. ”
Hua Yu asked, "What kind of person is King Zhengping?" When the master came, he told us to be careful of this person, but he looked quite gentle just now. ”
"Sister, don't be deceived by his appearance, he is just a cunning old fox, you must stay away when you see him in the future. "Hua Yue has learned this person's black belly, and Ying Yunshu is sick from him.
"If you want to deal with them, Master Ji and Qu Ping are them, I just need to guard you. Huayu smiled.
"That's right, why didn't you see Qu Ping and them, and Mengyu?"
Kazekage leaned against the door, looked at the guards outside, and saw that they were all his own thoughts, so he said, "The Evil Hall and the Quiet Hall find a way to infiltrate the firmament every year, but few have succeeded. Only a beautiful woman sent by Jingtang ten years ago successfully fell to the monarch's side, but then it was gone. They went out to see if they could contact the old ministry. ”
"Oh, it seems that they have put a lot of thought into it, so what about us, what is our mission?" asked Kazuki.
Kazekage and Hanayu glanced at each other and sat down at the table together, and Kazekage dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote on the table: "Map of the Naval Army on the Firmament Border." ”
Hua Yue wondered, "Isn't this Qu Ping's task?"
Hua Yu said softly: "Qu Ping and they listened in many ways, only to know that this general plan of defense is only available in the palace, and the other generals are responsible for each piece." Qu Ping: Even if they can get some of it, it's easy to startle the snake. ”
Hua Yu looked at Hua Yue's face, and said thoughtfully: "They see that the prince is not ordinary to you, so they want you to start from the prince and find out where the defense map is placed first?"
Hua Yue snorted coldly when she heard this: "Even if they have a defense map, can they really get in......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Huayu: "Shhh Let's not care if he fights or not, as long as we complete the task and don't cause chaos to the master. ”
Hua Yue looked outside and said, "Even if I can get close to the crown prince, but looking at the current situation in the firmament, I'm afraid he may not know." I don't think this defense map is necessarily in the palace, and now that King Zhengping is in charge of military and political power, this map is very likely to be in his hands. ”
Huayu also made sense when she thought about it, and looked at Fengying and said, "Then what should I do?"
Wind Shadow tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "It is possible that both the Imperial Palace and the Zhengping Royal Mansion have hidden waterway defense maps, so the troops will be divided into two ways." Huayue, you still start with the prince as usual, Zhengping Wangfu, let Quping and them find a way. ”
After the three of them finished talking about business, they chatted about what they had seen and heard about the firmament, and Mengyu didn't come back until the lantern was held, but Qu Ping and they were still nowhere to be seen.
When Mengyu came back, he heard that Huayue had arrived, so he hurriedly found it, and when he saw that Huayue was safe and sound, he was also relieved.
Huayu saw that she was tired, so she hurriedly asked her to sit down, made her a cup of tea, and waited for her to breathe before asking, "How is it?"
Mengyu shook her head before she said, "I'm afraid this matter will have to trouble Huayue to investigate." I only know that the woman sent back then became the concubine of the king, and although there were books back, it was all worthless news.
It wasn't until ten years ago that it was difficult for Jingtang to penetrate the firmament, and I suspect that her identity has been leaked, or that she has defected.
In the past few days, I found a few palace maids who were released from the palace, and after questioning, they all said that there was no such person, and asked what special things happened ten years ago, but I unexpectedly learned a very strange thing. ”
Huayu asked, "What's the matter?"
Meng Xue said mysteriously: "They say that the monarch of the firmament seems to have been cursed, and he is cursed. ”
"What kind of curse is this?" asked Hua Yue strangely, isn't Ying Yunshu the son of the monarch?
Mengyu said: "I don't know, I only heard that more than ten years ago, there were quite a lot of heirs of the monarch, but they died one by one, until the most favored prince died inexplicably ten years ago, and then the monarch had no heirs." ”
Hua Yue smiled: "Isn't the current prince okay?"
Mengyu glanced at her and said, "It is rumored in the market that the prince is not the king's own flesh and blood. ”
"Ah......h
"Poof......
"Bang Dang ......"
