31. [Three Ones]
After recuperating in bed for a whole day, it was not until the twilight that the lights were turned on in the palace, and Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, woke up from his dream sweating profusely. In the past ten years, his body has been getting worse day by day, and it is not uncommon for him to sleep all day.
He lay on his back in the dimly lit curtain, his soaked coat sticking coldly to his body.
Xiao Ling vaguely remembered that she seemed to have had a nightmare, and there was no sound in the dream, only an endless sea of fire, as if she wanted to burn the number of evil sins on the earth.
The flames scorched his eyes, and he searched around in a panic, and he didn't know what he was looking for. He was walking barefoot on the scorching earth, when suddenly it rained heavily, and it washed over the ground with a loud sound, stirring up patches of mist.
The fire was still burning, the rain was still falling, and he was still walking, until he saw a lonely figure in the flames......
His eyes widened, and a name went back and forth in his mind: "Ah Yu......"
He was muttering his fiancΓ©e's name as he walked towards the figure, faster and faster, and the moment he threw himself into the flames, the man turned around.
In an instant, the sky collapsed, and his three souls and six spirits shook in the rolling thunder.
When he trembled and stretched out his hand, he suddenly burst into a beam of flames to sweep away the familiar and long-lost eyebrows......
"You are the son of King Haihui, Xiao Ling? A good prince, why is it called a bird feather? β
"......" he didn't dare to look at the person who had just made a marriage contract with him, and whispered for a long time, "Father is the name taken from Du Gongbu's poem, 'He should have wings and fly to the front of the fall'......"
Why should there be wings and fly to the front of the fall......
βββββββββββββ
Xiao Ling looked at the top of the tent in a daze, this poem echoed repeatedly in his head, and after some time, he gently patted the edge of the bed.
Sun Miao, the guard who was waiting for him to wake up at any time, immediately brought the washing things into the inner room one by one without saying a word, Xiao Ling cleaned his hands, pouted, took a sip of ginseng soup and asked lightly: "Yongque, did they find Ayu?" β
Sun Miao took down the copper basin towel and helped Xiao Ling to lean on the head of the bed before saying, "Back to the prince, Duke Yongdu took Jinyiwei to the cottage to look for the princess and hasn't returned all day." β
Most of the people in King Hui's Mansion were respectful to Yongque on the surface, but secretly they were not less scolding at these court minions. Only Sun Miao is different, he is an extremely meticulous person. Even if Yongque and they were indeed sent by the emperor to monitor and test King Hui, he would be honored as a duke in front of him or behind his back.
"Didn't come home for a day?" Xiao Ling was surprised, although he had never dealt with Yongque's Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but he knew their abilities. After all, it is the power of the government and the opposition, and the powerful ministers who control the upper and lower levels, whether they are enemies or friends in the future, there is no harm in knowing themselves and knowing their opponents.
Yongque personally went out and led a team of elite soldiers, but he didn't come back in detail for a day. Xiao Ling was lying at the head of the bed, her mind reversed several times, and she felt more and more uneasy, and after thinking for a while, she said, "You let Zhang and bring some people to the mountain to meet them." β
Sun Miao was stunned for a moment, Yongque was unclear about their friends and enemies in the Haihui Palace, and it seemed that he didn't want to be more affectionate when he looked at his prince's appearance. Why the sudden reaction? Are you really worried that the princess will not succeed?
After saying a few words, Xiao Ling waved her hand tiredly: "Go, go early and come back early......"
Sun Miao responded with a yes, and Sun Hanxing, who was on duty in the outer courtyard, rushed in: "Lord Wang! Rajah! Hey! Something happened! β
He shouted with his voice in his voice, and within two sounds, Sun Miao lifted his collar and wanted to throw it out of the door, saying that it was too late, and he shouted hoarsely with his feet and hanging on the door frame: "The prince didn't speak, what are you doing?!" What are you doing?! β
"That's it, Sun Miao let him go, it's not that you don't know your brother's temperament." Xiao Ling couldn't help but speak.
Sun Miao frowned but still threw Sun Han to the ground without saying a word, the young man snorted unconvinced, got up and laughed hehe: "Lord Wang! Yongque, they're back! β
"Oh?"
If you want to count who in the palace doesn't want to see Jinyiwei's group of people, the first one is this Sun Han. Don't look at his young age, but he is jealous and hateful, in his eyes, Yongque is a demon who leads his minions to run rampant in the government and the opposition, persecute loyal ministers, and oppress the people! really saw the true face of a real person, and Yongque's face was even more true to what he thought.
Only eunuchs can give birth to the face of the country and the people!
It stands to reason that when Yongque returns, Sun Han should not be so elated. Unlike Sun Miao's doubts, Xiao Ling guessed almost immediately that he was afraid that Yongque's trip would be unfavorable and he would be in trouble.
Sun Han didn't take into account the slight change in the expression of the prince of his family, and said with great energy: "I saw it with my own eyes!" When I went, there were twenty people, and when I came back, I folded seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and at most less than half of them were left. Tut-tut, who praised their brocade guards to the heavens and the earth, omnipotent? They were almost wiped out in a small bandit's den. He said happily, sat on the stool and peeled the orange and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "It's not that I said, that eunuch in Yongque is too inhumane, and he still takes a woman when he goes out to run errands, what virtue!" Alas, I see that girl's little body is not hurting, right? β
"Who did you say was hurt?" Xiao Ling's eyebrows jumped slightly.
βββββββββββββ
The inside and outside of the wing room were brightly lit, Yongque stood under the corridor with his hands in his hands, and the birds in the golden wire cage fluttered their wings and panicked.
The inky clouds in the distance pressed on the horizon, and the cloudless weather in the early morning seemed to change its face at this hour, and the wind was loud urging the flowers and grass, and there was a great sign that the mountain rain was coming.
The people under him went to rest and heal their injuries, and as for the thousands of people, he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and he should have been handed over to the Sanfa Hall set up by the Wulin League in Huizhou for disposal. But because of him alone, the loss of soldiers and the loss of several good hands, peeling and rushing grass are cheap for him!
What's more, the desk in the underground palace has not yet been cleared, and Yongque has left someone to guard the entrance of the tomb, and the thousand people are connected to the painting on the screen
shouldn't have come back so hastily, but Qin Slow's girl was too angry! If he doesn't get treatment in time, I'm afraid that one of his lives will have to be confessed there.
He hurriedly returned not only for her, but also for the sake of her, he did not return to the capital for a long time, leaving only Yuanjiang to sit in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the East Factory, I am afraid that if he delays any longer, he will not be able to withstand the difficulties on both sides of the emperor and the West Factory, and he will not be able to suppress the hundreds of thousands of fans below.
After staying in the south of the fine willow and begonia for a long time, Yongque is a little nostalgic for the hundred-year-old imperial capital of the wind and sand. After all, it is his territory, his foundation, his battlefield. He gave the new emperor enough face, and set aside the world for him to exert his hands and feet, and establish his prestige, but he and the ambitious people of the wolves could not be allowed to eat away at the lintel and mansion he had worked so hard to build, right?
Yongque closed his eyes and counted the strings of beads, and he was going back to continue fighting!
"The factory is back?"
When he opened his eyes, King Haihui, who was dressed in a big hat, stood under the court with the support of his servants, and the news was fast. He hurriedly stepped down the steps and saluted: "Lord Lao, I am worried about it, I saw that it was not early in the morning and it was inconvenient to disturb the prince's rest, and I thought that I would go to you tomorrow morning." In the end, it still alarms you, which is really ashamed of Weichen. β
How can he stand his courtesy, Xiao Ling hurriedly helped him up: "I am ashamed that it should be this king, but the family affairs in the house still have to make you work tirelessly to call the factory ministers," he said hesitantly, and sighed heavily, "I heard that the factory ministers are not going well, this king is really ...... What a shame! β
The so-called good things don't go out, and bad things go thousands of miles. But I can't blame anyone, I only blame myself for being negligent and underestimating the opponent, Yongque smiled and shook his head: "It's Weichen's disadvantage, Zhou Zhang has spent so much money and has not been able to find the princess, and I hope that the prince will forgive the sin." β
Xiao Ling didn't really blame him, not only could he not blame him, but he also had to comfort him, and said that he looked at the closed side room with the window door closed: "I heard that the wife of the factory minister was injured because of this?" It's a shame to say that there are a few other good doctors in the palace, all of whom are famous doctors in the Jiangnan area. He leaned sideways and asked the Lang Zhong to come forward, "If there is a shortage of manpower on the factory minister's side, just tell them." As for the medicinal materials, although they are not as good as the imperial pharmacy in the Imperial Palace, they also have a lot of storage in the palace in order to treat the king's illness, so they can be used as they go. β
Yongque listened to it in his ears, and he was curious in his heart. Earlier, he noticed that this King Haihui seemed to be quite attentive to Qin Slow, and knew that she was not good at drinking, so he specially sent someone to send Xie Jiu soup. This time, when the person was injured, he brought the doctor with him, for fear that something would happen. And he didn't say a word about his lost princess.
Yongque sneered in his heart, interesting, people who don't know still think that Qin Wan is his princess!
Before the words fell, Huo An took out a basin of blood and handed it to the attendants outside, and when he saw the two masters in unison, he hurriedly went over and saluted the two of them one after another. Yongque asked, "How is Madame?" β
Where to say anything, after returning to King Hui's mansion, you have to continue the routine of moving out, Huo An understood in his heart, and replied with a sad face: "Back to the master, the short knife on Madame's body has been pulled out." It's just that the tip of the knife is tricky, with two blood grooves on the front and back, and this time Kung Fu Langzhong is stopping the bleeding. Fortunately, it was not smeared, and Lang Zhong said that he had lost too much blood and was going to be raised for a while. "That's all?" Obviously, when he was in the underground palace, Qin Slow was already running out of oil.
Huo An was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant: "That's what Lang Zhong said, saying that the lady was weak and suddenly suffered a heavy injury and didn't turn around for a while. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and his life was worry-free. β
"That's good......" Yongque breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to King Haihui and said, "It is the blessing of the inner son to be taken care of by the prince, and since you are worry-free, you will not have to work with the holy hand in the prince's mansion." β
Xiao Ling brought the doctor to the house, but he didn't think that Yongque would use it, listening to his conversation with Huo An, he was silent for a moment and smiled: "It's Madame's kindness that deserves God's favor." β
As he spoke, the door creaked open, and a maid walked over with her head bowed and said, "My lord, Madame is awake and calling you." β
Yongque and Xiao Ling were stunned at the same time.
