Yang Gonggong understands very well that the emperor's heart is still biased towards the five princes. So he didn't say more, and stood quietly to listen to the emperor's reprimand, occasionally echoing a few sentences.

"Ahem," the emperor said for a while, feeling overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, take a break. It's cold again...."

The emperor lay on the dragon couch, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Thoughts drift away...

――

Chu Yueqing sat in the carriage back to Hao's mansion, a little uneasy.

"Go back quickly." Chu Yueqing raised his voice.

The coachman listened to the command, waved his whip, and the horse speeding up instantly.

It was noon, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the streets. Thanks to the driver's good driving skills, he did not hit the pedestrian. Still, the carriage attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Old man Li, old man Li, do you think this carriage is a little familiar?" Da Lu dragged the old man who wanted to go forward to join in the fun, and asked suspiciously.

Old man Li pretended to be confused and said, "Huh? What carriage? Don't look at this kind of excitement in Dalu, let's go to the palace to find your daughter-in-law..."

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of King Hao's mansion, and Chu Yueqing got out of the carriage and went straight to Zhuxin Courtyard.

Along the way, her eyelids jumped, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Moori and Molian followed closely behind, their faces worried.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, Chu Yueqing and Xiao Xiangzi who came out of the gate of Zhuxin Courtyard bumped into each other.

only heard a "bang", and the thing that Xiao Xiangzi was holding fell to the ground.

"The king, the princess?" Xiao Xiangzi looked at Chu Yueqing in surprise, and even forgot to pick up the things that fell on the ground.

"Xiao Xiangzi, is the prince back?" Chu Yueqing saw that the person who came was Xiao Xiangzi, and he couldn't care about the pain on his body, so he hurriedly asked him about Xuanyuan Hao's news.

"King, king, prince~" Xiao Xiangzi put his hands in his sleeve cage and kept rubbing. "The prince is still discussing things with Steward Zhang in the Qinwu Academy."

Chu Yueqing stared at the wooden boxes scattered on the ground, and said suspiciously: "What you said is true?" ”

"The slave does not dare to deceive the princess." Xiao Xiangzi bowed anxiously, and at the same time, a bead of sweat the size of a bean fell from his cheek.

"Then why did you come back?" As he spoke, Chu Yueqing squatted down to pick up the wooden box that fell to the ground, "Are you taking something for the prince?" ”

Chu Yueqing opened the wooden box. Inside the box is a sword. The hilt was as red as blood, and the blade was sharp and dazzling. Chu Yueqing continued, "Are you holding a sword for the prince?" ”

"Yes, it's the princess. King... The prince practiced martial arts with Master Ding in the Qinwu Academy, and the special envoy and the slave came to take the prince's portable sword. "Xiao Xiangzi has been doing it. Bury your head deep behind the cuff.

Chu Yueqing had an inexplicable familiarity with this sword, but she had never seen it. If she had seen such a dazzling sword, she would definitely remember it.

She put the sword in the sword box and handed it to Xiao Xiangzi, and smiled. "Then send it over quickly."

Xiao Xiangzi took the sword box, bowed his head and retreated, "Yes, princess." ”

"Princess," Mo Lian walked up to Chu Yueqing and said suspiciously, "Why does the slave think that Grandpa Xiang is a little weird?" ”

Chu Yueqing nodded, frowning and looking at the direction where Xiao Xiangzi left. Suddenly, the wooden box I picked up just now flashed in my mind, the wooden box... Isn't it the rusty sword she used to hold her?!

Chu Yueqing's eyes became sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "Go to the Qinwu Academy to have a look." ”

Xiao Xiangzi's reaction just now was very strange, and his speech was also reversed. And also. Could it be that the red sword was the rusty sword she asked Xuanyuan Hao for in Changchen Palace?

With a stomach full of questions, Chu Yueqing came to Qinwu Academy.

Chu Yueqing walked through the arched door of the Qinwu Courtyard, and the courtyard was empty.

Xiao Xiangzi must have lied, Chu Yueqing thought to himself. But if he doesn't practice martial arts, what is he doing with a sword?

As she got closer to the main house, she heard a very noisy sound.

Inside the house.

"Old Doctor Kang, Master Ou, just use the blood of the minions. A minion is just a cheap life, and it's not a pity to die..."

Chu Yueqing frowned, only hearing something minions. What a. It was Shoko's voice, and she walked slowly to the closed door of the house and listened closely.

Mo Zhi and Mo Lian didn't dare to say anything more when they saw their princess's actions. You can only be with you.

Chu Yueqing listened, and the voice in the room became clear.

"Xiao Xiangzi, get up quickly." It was the voice of the old lady Kang.

Chu Yueqing was suspicious, and his heart was beating like a drum. Mrs. Kang is here, could it be that Xuanyuan Hao has an accident again?!

"Shh~" Ding Yi was in the house and made a gesture with his fingers. Signal the people in the house not to speak.

He lowered his voice and said, "Someone." At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and moved lightly to the door of the house.

"Squeak!" The door was suddenly opened.

Chu Yueqing straightened his spine and stood at the door. There is not a trace of embarrassment that I haven't found, "Master Ding." ”

"Princess?" However, an unnatural look flashed on Ding Yi's face.

Chu Yueqing stepped into the house and saw Xiao Xiangzi who was still kneeling on the ground. smiled, "What about the prince?" Xiao Xiangzi, didn't you take the prince's sword by mistake and was punished by the prince? ”

Xiao Xiangzi knelt on the ground and didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Xiangzi's reaction confirmed her thoughts even more, and Chu Yueqing walked quickly across the screen, past the old lady Kang and her uncle. Footsteps stop in front of the bed in the room.

I saw that Xuanyuan Hao's body was tied to the bed board with a large hemp rope. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his exposed skin was covered with blue and black marks.

"What are you doing?" Chu Yueqing flew over and reached out to untie the knot tied to Xuanyuan Hao's body.

"Princess, no." Xiao Xiangzi knelt down and crawled over, "No, princess, this rope can't be untied." ”

"Yes, Qing'er. You believe in your uncle, this rope cannot be untied. The owner of Ou Zhuang persuaded.

"Why? Why can't it be solved? Chu Yueqing was lying beside Xuanyuan Hao, his heart was in turmoil. She knew that her uncle and Mrs. Kang would not harm Xuanyuan Hao, but why did she tie him up like this!

"Princess," sobbed little Xiangzi, "it was the prince who ordered us to do this. ”

Chu Leqing sneered, "Xiao Xiangzi, you tell the truth!" ”

"Princess, it's really the prince's order. Rajah... The prince's illness has flared up again. The prince was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and hurt others again. So let's find the hemp rope and tie him up..."

Chu Yueqing sat on the ground dejectedly and muttered, "Is it true?" ”

No one spoke, and the room was eerily quiet. Chu Yueqing looked at the trance figure in the room in a daze, and his heart was stunned.

No. Can't give up.

Chu Yueqing held on to the edge of the bed and stood up. "Is there any way to save him?"

Xiao Xiangzi's eyes fell on the wooden boxes scattered on the ground, and said, "The slave was just asking the old lady Kang and the owner of Ou Zhuang for this matter. The slave heard them say that there was a cure in the "Tao of Medicine", and he was about to try it. However, the old lady Kang and the owner of Ou Zhuang did not let the minions try?
