Chapter 207:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you hold the hand of the old slave. "Feng Ying took Wu Dan's arm, grabbed his hand and put it on his arm, and then led him slowly inside.www.biquge.info
First walk through the outer hall, then through the door made of beaded curtains, and then through the inner dormitory. In the center of the room, there was a night pearl, which emitted a glow, bringing a little light to the room, and the emperor could be vaguely seen lying on the couch in front of him, as if he was half-leaning and half-sitting.
Wu Dan blinked vigorously, although the pearl of the night was beautiful, its light was far from allowing him to see normally, and he wanted to move forward, but he didn't dare.
"Bring me two more pearls of the night. The emperor felt sorry for Wu Dan, and couldn't bear his effort, so he called Feng Ying to take out another night pearl to illuminate.
Feng Ying replied, moved lightly, rummaged in the cabinet next to him several times, and after a while, he took out two or three boxes, opened them one by one, and saw beams of dazzling light burst out of the boxes. The box contained all luminous balls, the large ones the size of a bowl, and the small ones the size of a fist. Feng Ying picked up a few small ones and placed them around the couch where the emperor was lying, and placed the largest one in the center of the room.
In an instant, the whole dormitory was shrouded in a luminous light, not to mention that it was like daytime, and it was much stronger than lighting candles at night.
Only then did Wu Dan see the emperor's appearance clearly, his face was really bad, some of his eyes were a little blue, and his cheeks were a little red, which was very abnormal. The expression was also a little sad, and the deep sorrow was locked between the eyebrows.
"It's overcast outside?" the Emperor asked in a low voice, his eyes slightly closed.
"Nope. Wu Dan replied in a low voice.
"Alas, there is no rain again...... the emperor sighed, and after a long silence he opened his eyes, and when he saw Wu Dan standing in front of the couch, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked: "Why are you the only one who comes?" Didn't I let you come with Cheng Xiu?
After a few incidents, the emperor treated Li Chengxiu more and more affectionately, and I don't know when he no longer called her "Crown Princess", but affectionately called her by her name, Chengxiu.
"She's gone to the south of the city. Wu Dan replied.
The emperor's brows furrowed again, and he said a little unhappily: "What is she going to do in the south of the city? ”
Wu Dan explained: "Two more beggars died in the south of the city yesterday, and she went to take a look. ”
"Two more dead?" the gloom on the emperor's face became even thicker, and he said, "Then you shouldn't let her go, isn't it a plague, what if you catch it?"
"Qian Yong and a few imperial doctors have already gone to see it, and they have already determined that it is not a plague. Wu Dan said so, hoping that the emperor would be relieved.
"Even so, she shouldn't go, now that the south of the city is in chaos, nothing must happen. The emperor frowned and said, "She is the wife of the prince, so she must not take risks." ”
Wu Dan paused and said, "My aunt went with her." ”
"Princess Xingyang?" the emperor was stunned and said angrily: "What a fool around! Is it Princess Xingyang who is picking her up?"
"Not really. Wu Dan said: "Since the first person was reported to be killed by heat, Chengxiu has always wanted to go and see it...... Erchen had already gone to see it the day before yesterday, and the situation was not very good!"
"You've been there?" said the Emperor.
"Yes. Wu Dan replied: "Erchen thinks that he may not be able to know the truth just by looking at Song Shu, anyway, the south of the city is not too far, so it is better to take a look, so he went." ”
"It's hard for you to think of that. The emperor nodded appreciatively and asked, "How did you see the results?"
"It's not very good. Wu Dan repeated what he had just said, and slowly said to the emperor: "The beggar gathered in the south of the city is not from Chang'an, but from somewhere else......"
"What do you mean?" the emperor looked at Wu Dan in disbelief.
Wu Dan said: "Erchen made inquiries to some beggars, some of them came from the direction of Xiazhou, some from the direction of Fengzhou, some from the direction of Lingzhou, and some from the direction of Liangzhou......
"What?" the emperor sat up in shock, leaned forward, glared at Wu Dan and asked, "What do you mean?"
Because the emperor's face was even more bad, Wu Dan couldn't bear it, but he had to say: "Erchen guessed that there might have been a drought in Guannei Road, but it was concealed by the officials below!"
"What? There is also a drought in Kannai Province?" the emperor collapsed on the couch with a bang, staring straight at the roof with his eyes, and muttered to himself, "How can this be?
The emperor's appearance was really a little scary, Wu Dan was frightened, frightened and anxious, threw himself in front of the emperor's couch, and pleaded eagerly: "Father, don't worry, these are just the speculations of the sons, maybe, maybe the sons guessed wrong?"
"No, you guessed right, something must have happened to Kannachi. The emperor looked at the roof in a daze and said, "You have always been steady, and if you are not sure, you will not say it in front of me." You must have the hard facts, right?"
Wu Dan lowered his head, unable to bear to tell the emperor too much of the truth.
The emperor was not reluctant, but only looked at the roof in a daze, without saying a word.
For a while, the room was so quiet that it could be heard that a pin was falling, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
After a long time, the emperor opened his mouth and asked, "What did they say?"
"They ......," Wu Dan wanted to say and stopped.
"Or do you want me to go to the temple and ask for punishment?" The emperor asked leisurely, and before Wu Dan had time to think about how to deal with it, he heard the emperor's voice suddenly rise and roared: "If I want to ask for punishment, is it all my fault? Why? This world is not my alone's world, why should I ask for punishment alone?"
"Your Majesty, don't be like this, don't be like those rotten Confucians!" Feng Ying eagerly ran to the emperor, serving tea to the emperor and holding it to the emperor's chest.
"I don't want to be like them, but they want to be like me!" The emperor opened the tea bowl with a slap, and the tea splashed Feng Ying's head and face, Feng Ying didn't dare to wipe the tea soup on his head and give the emperor a good breath, but the more busy he was, the more angry the emperor became, and raised his hand and slapped Feng Ying's face again: "Get out of the way." ”
Feng Ying took a few steps back from the ground, shrunk at the foot of the couch and wept: "Your Majesty, don't be like this, you have to take care of the dragon's body!" and looked at Wu Dan with tears in his eyes: "Prince, you persuade Your Majesty!"
"Father, father......" Such a hysterical father emperor was something that Wudan had never seen, which really scared Wudan.
"These bastards, eat me, wear me, I am their adoptive parents, wives and families, I usually shout long live and be wise, I only know how to welcome and pat horses, and when I am about to use them, it is my fault again, it's all my business!" The emperor still scolded himself angrily, and the more he scolded, the more angry he became, and finally he gritted his teeth with red eyes and said: "One day, I will know to them how powerful I am!"
