Chapter 12
Huancui's face turned pale, and she bowed her head uneasily and said, "This slave maid saw that His Highness's symptoms were terrifying, and she casually guessed. ”
Xue Yuan's eyes circled around the faces of several people, and he was about to speak, when he saw Sun Henian hurriedly running over, and said in a low voice: "Overseer, King Ning wants to see you." ”
Xue Yuan tilted his head slightly, and the candle flame in the main hall of the compartment came in, covering his face half-brightly and half-darkly, with a vague beauty. He smiled meaninglessly: "Tell the prince, we still have some things to deal with here." ”
Sun Henian paused for a moment, hunched his waist and said, "But the prince is urging tightly."
Xue Yuan said casually: "Then I can only be sorry." He glanced at Xiangyin and said slowly: "First escort Miss Yin to the East Palace, and then deal with it when His Highness wakes up." He looked at Cui again: "Let's take this person to the East Factory and interrogate it slowly." ”
Ju Cui's body stiffened, and then he trembled, and said in a panic: "The factory is not the slave's fault, why should the slave and maid go to the East Factory to be tried." ”
Xue Yuan frowned: "Let her voice be lower." ”
In a blink of an eye, she was dragged down by someone covering her mouth, Concubine Shu was a little flustered, held the maid's hand and said a few words casually, and hurriedly turned around and went out.
Sun Henian carefully added some tea to Xue Yuan, and bowed down again: "Didn't you say that you wanted to stand on the dry shore, and now you don't plan to be perfunctory on the prince's side?" ”
Xue Yuan looked down at Jiang You, and said lightly: "I caught that person a few days ago, and it was sent by King Ning. There was a little ruthlessness in his eyes: "I won't stop him if he wants the throne, but he shouldn't even calculate with me, when I can't do it?" ”
Sun Henian replied in a low voice, slapped the horse a few more words, and then frowned and hesitated: "Why did King Kening do this? Wouldn't it be better to hold you at this time? ”
Xue Yuan sneered: "First, he didn't expect me to recognize that person, and secondly, he didn't expect Xiaozong to die so quickly." Think about it, if King Ning really succeeds this time, my side will definitely have to take the role, and when the time comes, I can't help him even if I don't want to, and this matter is also a handle, if he really takes the throne in the future, he can also take it out to beat me, killing three birds with one stone, why don't you do it? ”
Sun Henian bowed in response, and then looked at Jiang You, who was lying in his arms: "Then you plan to save King Qin?" ”
Xue Yuan also looked down at Jiang You: "King Qin? It's a way, but it's a pity that I don't have that loyalty, if I didn't participate in the union at the beginning, it would be fine, and now once I join in, it will be a situation of endless death. He smiled happily: "Who doesn't want the right to be the only one in the world?" He pointed at Jiang You: "As long as you pinch this villain, you will hold the orthodox avenue, who in the world can compete with me?" ”
Sun Henian listened to his thoughts, his heart jumped at first, and then he rejoiced. In the future, the emperor on the bright side is Jiang You, but it is Xue Yuan who is secretly in charge, he excitedly played a pendulum, and his speech was unstable: "If you can really do it, it is really a great thing, I am afraid, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not be willing to be manipulated by others." ”
Xue Yuan didn't answer, he looked down at Jiang You, and saw that the child's face was a little pale, but he was still dizzy, and he couldn't help but raise his lips slightly. Turning his head to Sun Henian, he ordered: "It's time for us to make a statement, go, cut off a pair of ears from the assassin who assassinated the crown prince last time and give it to King Ning." ”
He helped Jiang You change his sleeping position, but he still leaned on his arms, he just sat on the couch drinking tea and reading a book, suddenly his arms moved, Jiang You's head moved, arched a few times in his arms, and then opened his eyes suddenly, so frightened that he almost fell off the bed, and exclaimed: "Palm prints? Why are you here? ”
Xue Yuan grabbed her: "Do you remember what happened last night?" ”
Jiang You's head was still a little dizzy, and he thought for a while in a trance, and then said with a white face: "I've seen a ghost." She looked at Xue Yuan, and then shrunk and added: "There is a headless ghost dressed like you."
Xue Yuan paused and glanced at her: "You're afraid you're poisoned." He said the events of last night lightly, Jiang You was so shocked that he jumped out of bed all of a sudden: "Who wants to harm me?" ”
Xue Yuan said: "Do you think that if you die, who is most likely to inherit the unification?" ”
Jiang You thought about it with a white face, and stammered: "According to the rules, the emperor has no heir, and when his own brother ascends the throne, his father's own brother is only one of the Seventh Emperor Uncle, but he, but he has always been submissive."
Xue Yuan added fire: "The last time you met an assassin in Dongchang, the minister has already found out, and it was also done by King Ning. ”
In the end, King Ning's humble image for many years was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Jiang You was skeptical when he heard it, he didn't know what to say, and he lowered his head a little helplessly and said: "If the Seventh Emperor Uncle really has a different heart, then what should I do next?" ”
At this time, Xue Yuan also stood up, suddenly took her shoulders to his side, and said with a slight smile: "Do you believe in the minister?" ”
Jiang You looked at him in confusion, nodded hesitantly, Xue Yuan put a hand on her shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "You can only trust the minister now, you have to do what the minister says, and the minister will definitely keep you safe." ”
Although Xue Yuan has never been very respectful, he has never been so strong, Jiang You frowned uneasily, hung his head and did not speak, he pinched her chin and raised it, making her look at himself: "Are you answering?" ”
Jiang You was completely annoyed by his rude behavior, took a few steps back, and said loudly, "What are you doing?!" She was a little flustered, coupled with the poisoning unsteady, she staggered and turned around: "I, I want Xiangyin, I want to see my uncle and cousin Dongzheng." ”
Xue Yuan took a few steps closer, forcing her to stick to the wall, making her unable to move: "Now that King Ning has made it clear that he wants your life, it is not safe for you to take a step away from me, do you really think that Zhenguo Gong can protect you?" ”
Anyway, Xiaozong is dead, and now it is an eventful time, and he is too lazy to hold back his temperament, so he directly picks it out and says, so that this child can see the way forward.
Jiang You's heart was pounding, and she wanted to escape as soon as she was short, but Xue Yuan cut her hands against the wall, and she exclaimed: "Xue Palm Print!" ”
Xue Yuan looked down at her: "This time is different from the past, you must know that no one can protect you except the ministers." He let go of his hand: "You have been poisoned, it can be seen that the people around you may not be clean, so the ministers have helped you change it, and you can rest assured that you can use it." ”
Donggong has always been from a family, Dongchang has never interfered, and now he is going to have a big purge, all of them are replaced by his own hands, and he firmly pinched her in the palm of his hand.
Jiang You was angry and used his self-proclaimed: "Donggong has nothing to do with your Dongchang, besides, it is a person who is lonely, and he has been with Lone for many years, what is not clean, how can you say that you can change it?"
Before she finished speaking, Xue Yuan stretched out his index finger and pressed his lips, he gently 'shhh ”
Jiang You had an unbelievable look on his face, as if he couldn't understand why his attitude had changed drastically overnight, and he was both indignant and aggrieved: "Why do you want to do this?!" ”
He didn't answer, but hooked the corner of his lips and put it to her ear: "I'll help you report a violent illness, you won't have to wake recently." He straightened up slowly: "As long as you are obedient, you will still be your crown prince safely, and you will sit on the dragon chair smoothly in the future, if you insist on twisting it like this" He frowned and sighed: "Then I am afraid that you will continue to be 'violently ill'." ”
Xue Yuan opened the cotton curtain and walked out as he spoke, Jiang You paused in place, stunned for a moment and wanted to catch up, but was stopped in place.
He walked out of the palace gate, the group tassels under his chin were scattered by the strong wind, he raised his hand and put it together, and said to Sun Henian, who was following on the side: "It's going to take a little effort these days, don't let that side get your hands, and His Highness's side" He lowered his eyes and thought about it; "Let her stay in this hall for a few days, and when I have my hands free, I will clean up the people on the other side of the East Palace."
Sun Henian said: "You mean that we will ground His Highness first?" ”
Xue Yuan nodded: "That's what it means." He raised his lips and smiled: "I never do anything for nothing, King Ning naturally has to clean it up, and the prince has to control it, so that he can be stable in the future." He thought for a moment and ordered: "Your Highness is only afraid that you still don't believe that King Ning is against you, so you go and bring the female official and the assassin to her, so that she can take a good look." ”
That night, he brought Ju Cui and the eunuch who assassinated him last time to her, and let the two tell the truth in front of her. However, he didn't dispose of the two people directly, but ordered someone to take them down, and he didn't know what else he left.
Xue Yuan reported to the outside world that the prince had a sudden illness and fainted, and he couldn't continue to keep the spirit, but internally he moved Jiang You back to the East Palace, but he didn't let her have contact with people outside.
She naturally refused, but the palace maid around her was worried about her, so she insisted on stopping her and said: "Now that all civil and military officials are afraid of the power of the palm print, who can tell which is good and which is bad?" You are so stubborn, in the end something really went wrong, I am afraid that no one may dare to speak out, it is better to hand over your situation first, let the town and the country know about it, and we can think about it in the long run. She sighed again: "It's a pity that Aunt Yin is not here, otherwise we would still have more people to discuss." ”
Jiang You thought of Xiangyin, his heart was also worried, frowned and thought in place for a while, and ordered someone to call Liu Xi and Gu Yong, two chamberlains, to come in, and ordered them to find an opportunity to quietly pass it on to Zhenguo Gong and Mrs. Li.
King Ning has always treated her well, but now she has suddenly become a traitor who has committed trouble, she is still a little unable to twist the bend, plus she now not only has to worry about King Ning who wants to harm her, but also beware of Xue Yuan, whose attitude has changed greatly, under the urgency and anger, she actually had a toothache in the middle of the night, and the palace people hurriedly boiled half a bowl to calm her nerves, and fell asleep in a drowsy way.
The next day, she was woken up by a commotion, and the palace maid who was waiting beside her hurriedly ran in, knelt down in front of her all of a sudden, and said with a panicked face: "Your Highness Xue Zhangyin ordered someone to take Liu Xi and Gu Yong's two fathers-in-law into custody, and they were about to be pushed out to be killed in court." ”
