Chapter 208: Kneeling for blood
Something happened to the eldest princess, how could she negotiate with the old patriarch not the eldest prince but the third prince?
Mian Liang followed behind Xiangyu and muttered to himself in confusion.
The third prince got up and saluted Xiangyu, and then said, "Uncle, the eldest brother is worried about the eldest imperial sister-in-law, and he is guarding the eldest imperial sister-in-law's bed at the moment and is unwilling to leave an inch, so I can only let my nephew come and talk to you about what to do next." ”
When Mian Fence heard this, it suddenly dawned on him that this was the case.
Xiangyu naturally walked to the top seat and sat down, sweeping the people in the room, except for the three princes and Xiangqian, Xiangfu was not there, but there was a cup of steaming tea cup on the seat next to Xiangqian, obviously there was someone here just now, judging by the seat, it was likely to be Xiangfu.
"Where's Uncle?" asked Xiangyu, staring at the tea.
Xiangqian's face condensed slightly: "I was taken away by the people of Dali Temple just now." ”
The horse barked, and the entire beam collapsed, except for disposing of the horse, and the next full responsibility fell on Xiangfu, who was in charge of repairing Lingyun Temple.
"What's wrong with the eldest princess?" Xiangyu asked lightly with one hand on the armrest of the seat, his slender index finger tapping lightly.
"His life was in danger, and the pharmacist said that if he couldn't survive the next seven days, he would be hopeless. A small servant brought by Xiangqian replied.
"It can't be said that it is completely hopeless. A scribe standing behind the Third Prince suddenly interjected.
Xiangqian, Xiangyu and others all looked at him, but the third prince did not turn his head to look at him.
Mian Liang recognized him as Gu Yong, the strategist of the Three Princes who had had a few encounters in Jiqi Mountain before.
Gu Yong seemed to be waiting for the third prince to show him, and before that, he didn't dare to continue to speak.
"Since Mr. Gu has a way, you might as well talk about it. After a long time, the third prince said with a smile.
Gu Yong got permission, and then stood in front of the hall and said to everyone: "Miss Mian Fence has inherited the blood of the ancestor ghost, and it is said that the blood of the ancestor ghost not only has various miraculous effects on ghosts, but also for human beings, it is also a life-saving medicine. ”
He said as he looked at the hedge.
A trace of sarcasm crossed her face, Qiu Lingshuang had a drop of her blood before, and as soon as this opening was opened, the people behind were like mosquitoes that smelled blood, and they all rushed to pounce.
It's just that I don't know if he said this, whether it was the instructions of the three princes or his own opinion.
At this time, the third prince was still smiling, but the smile on the corner of his mouth froze the moment Gu Yong said this.
It's fleeting.
"I don't know where Mr. Gu heard that the blood of the ancestor of the powerful ghost has a miraculous effect on human beings?" the third prince asked him.
Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and replied, "...... The grass people are just speculating that the life of the eldest princess is dying, and there is one more way to try, and there will be more life. ”
Xiangyu tapped his fingers on the armrest, and looked up at Gu Yong lazily.
The next moment, a cold voice came out: "Speculation out of thin air, dare to show it in front of me, wait for those who are eager for quick success and quick profit, and talk in vain, get down!"
There was a rare anger in Xiangyu's tone.
Gu Yong's face faded in an instant, he didn't dare to say anything more in a panic, and hurriedly bowed and withdrew.
The warm smile on the face of the third prince was still the same, and when his gaze swept over Gu Yong lightly, there was a hint of coolness.
Xiangyu didn't let anyone spread the news of his arrival to the eldest prince, and their group soon left the eldest prince's mansion, coming and going in a hurry.
The third prince sent them to the gate of the prince's mansion, and watched the two black nanmu carriages drift away, and the smile on the three princes' faces faded inch by inch.
"What about Gu Yongren?" the third prince asked Xu Fengyang beside him.
"Your Highness, I went to the Sheng Mansion. ”
The third prince was not surprised at all, and had a look that he had known for a long time.
"Let's go back too. With his hands behind his back, the third prince walked towards the mahogany carriage not far away, and Xu Fengyang followed.
Early the next morning, before Xiangyu got up, a little girl hurriedly ran to report.
The hedge, which had slept outside because of last night's vigil, heard the noise and hurriedly got up and opened the door.
The little girl's face was anxious: "Sleeping girl, something happened!"
Afraid of arguing with the child, he gathered his clothes, walked out of the door, and only after closing the door did he ask, "What's wrong?"
"His Royal Highness came to Xiangfu early in the morning with a few guards, and was kneeling on the stone steps in front of the main gate, saying that it was ...... I want to beg for a drop of your blood to save the princess, and now there are a lot of people outside, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will not be good for the reputation of Xiangfu. ”
Mian Liang frowned: "I know, you go down first, and when Gongzi wakes up, I will report to him immediately." ”
After the little girl said goodbye, the sleeping fence was no longer sleepy, she quickly cleaned up the outer room, and waited for Xiangyu to wake up.
At the gate of Xiangfu, a prince dressed in a jet-black robe, with a jade crown on his head, was kneeling on the bluestone stairs, his back was straight, his eyes were heavy and firm, staring at the closed gate for a moment.
"Uncle, please save your imperial nephew and daughter-in-law, her life is hanging by a thread now, and only a drop of the blood of the Ancestor Powerful Ghost can save her life! Uncle, please!" the eldest prince begged loudly again, prostrating his head as he spoke.
The same phrase, which he kneels here, has been repeated dozens of times.
On his forehead, a piece of black blue and a few strands of blood seeped out, making the onlookers look a little unbearable.
The door creaked, and finally slowly opened, and a raccoon slave wearing an auspicious cloud pattern white jade wide-sleeved shirt walked out of it.
The tanuki slave held the white jade sheep's horn lantern in his hand, slowly walked to the eldest prince, he bowed to the eldest prince, and then looked at the two Xiangfu servants who followed behind him, and asked them to help the eldest prince up.
"Your Highness, you are the body of the emperor, your body is golden, and you must not kneel at will. ”
The eldest prince looked stubborn, pushed away the two little servants who stepped forward to support him, and asked the tanuki slave, "Uncle would like to see me?"
Tanuki looked at him and shook his head.
The hope in the eyes of the eldest prince dissipated, and his expression returned to the resoluteness of Fang Cai, who continued to stare ahead, shouting to see Xiangyu.
The tanuki looked at his immobile kneeling figure, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
The raccoon slave returned to the Jade Disturbance Courtyard to report that the prince refused to leave, and after Xiangyu listened, the pen that was painting in his hand was put on the pen stand.
"This trick, his head can't think of it, it's Sheng Zhuohuai's old fox who is secretly helping. Xiangyu took the wet handkerchief handed by the sleeping fence and said while wiping his hands.
The tanuki leaned over slightly, smiling.
"Send someone to call the third prince and ask him to remove the thing at the door. ”
"Yes. The tanuki turned and walked out.
Xiangyu handed the handkerchief in his hand to Mian Li, and when he saw that she looked distracted, he said, "Scared?"
Mian Liang came back to his senses, hurriedly took the wet handkerchief, bowed his head and replied: "The slave is thinking, although the eldest prince belongs to the royal family, but the eldest princess is just a woman, she is innocent, if the blood of the slave can really save people's lives, maybe the slave ......"
"No!" Xiangyu flatly refused.
