Chapter 214: Deployment (1)
Three days later, Situ Hehan was the first to discover the hidden "wrongness" in the East Palace.
In the past few days, Situ Mu has been surprisingly quiet. He claimed that he had a rash on his face and that his face was swollen and unsightly, so he hid behind the curtain all day long, and no one was seen. After hearing about it, Zhang Luo helped him ask the imperial doctor to come and see him, but Situ Mu let the imperial doctor eat a closed door. He claimed that he had already applied the topical ointment and that it was fine. It's just that at this moment, his face is red and swollen and deformed, and he doesn't want anyone to see it, otherwise he will lose face. He Han wondered in his heart, this was not like Situ Mu's usual style. Although he is a man, Situ Mu has always cherished his appearance. If he really had a rash, he should have called all the doctors to treat him, for fear of a scar.
What's even more strange is that Situ Mu's personal inner prison Xiao Nian has disappeared in the past few days. Situ Mu was sick, and he should have been close to him, but now he doesn't know where he went. He Han remembered his father's entrustment to him not long ago, so that she kept an eye on Situ Mu's whereabouts and did not let him escape from the palace without permission. And Han was shocked, could it be that Situ Mu had already fled. Behind this tent, he refused to see anyone, but he was just an impostor false prince.
Thinking about it, Han decided to find out. She summoned the concubines in the East Palace, and asked the nurse to bring Situ Yan, claiming that the prince was unwell and ordered everyone to visit. accompanied by three highly respected doctors from the Tai Hospital. The concubines didn't know the reason, but they only heard that Situ Mu was sick, and they all looked panicked. And Han wore a rose and purple brocade palace dress, led the three-year-old, pink and lovely Situ Yan, and led a group of concubines in the East Palace. They all knelt outside the curtain of the main hall.
"Your Highness," and Han knelt straight at the front of the crowd, his voice crisp and clear, "Your Highness is unwell, and I haven't seen anyone for three days. The concubines and others are really worried about His Royal Highness's jade body, and they hope that His Royal Highness can let the concubines meet each other! ”
"Cough, cough, cough ......" After Han said this, he stared at the curtain. After a few moments, a few embarrassed coughs rang out from there. Situ Mu's voice came from behind the heavy curtains, "Let." Worried about the concubine. The main palace is fine. Go back, all of you. ”
As soon as his words fell, everyone looked at each other suspiciously, why was the prince so polite to the princess? Since three years ago, Han Shangyi, whom the prince admired, died in a water prison. The relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess was extremely strained. Although soon after, the crown princess gave birth to a little prince. But it didn't save the prince's heart. During these three years. The prince loves the little prince very much, but he doesn't even look at the princess. Although the two are still husband and wife, the crown princess only has one position left. Heard. The crown prince once said to the crown princess that the two of them have and will only have this one child in this life. In this way, the prince has made up his mind not to pay attention to the princess. The concubines were discussing in private, if it weren't for the princess relying on herself as Situ Zaifu's daughter, maybe the prince would have abolished her a long time ago and set up someone else.
Since everyone present was puzzled, as shrewd as Situ Hehan, they were even more sure that the person hidden behind this curtain was definitely not Situ Mu. She cleared her throat and said, "Your Highness refuses to meet us like this, but I and my sisters are so anxious!" There is also Yan'er, who has not seen his father for a few days, and always cries every day to see His Highness. Since the concubine is the head of the concubine of the East Palace, His Royal Highness's wife, and Yan'er's mother, she naturally has the responsibility to ensure that Her Royal Highness is in good health. I hope Your Highness will let us see you! ”
After that, he bowed deeply. When the concubines saw this, they all bowed down and pleaded: "Your Highness! ”
After the curtains, there was no movement. After half a ring, He Han straightened up, with a somewhat weird smile on his face, turned his head and said to the imperial doctor waiting on the side: "Imperial Doctor Huang, you are the first in the Imperial Hospital, and your medical skills are excellent, and the concubine trusts you very much." As you can see, the prince is very ill, and now it is very difficult to even speak. The prince's status is precious, and the concubine ordered you to quickly diagnose the prince's pulse, and there can be no delay for a moment! ”
"Yes." Imperial Physician Huang received the order of Hehan, carried the medicine box, and was about to lift the curtain and go in.
After the curtain, Situ Mu's anxious and panicked voice finally came: "Which of you dares to come!" This palace and this palace don't want to see people, if anyone comes here rashly, this palace will punish him for the crime of disrespect! ”
"This ......" Imperial Physician Huang was obviously frightened by this posture, and he did not move forward in front of the curtain, which was quite difficult. He turned his head a little helplessly and glanced at him, this is the crown prince in front of him, and the crown princess behind him, offending no one.
Seeing this, Hehan got up suddenly, strode to Imperial Physician Huang's side, and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to embarrass Imperial Physician Huang, this matter is the concubine's idea!" As she spoke, she pulled the corner of the curtain with one hand and said loudly, "The concubine is responsible for doing things alone, and if His Royal Highness wants to blame, come and blame the concubine." For the safety of His Royal Highness, the concubine is going to die, and she is also willing! ”
After that, she pulled hard, and the curtain that had been hanging in the main hall of the East Palace for three days was finally pulled away. Everyone looked in curiously, and saw a man sitting on the bed, looking frightened. This bed is the prince's usual resting begonia wood carving beast peony bed, the brocade quilt is also the prince's favorite Shu brocade silk quilt, even the incense in the house, is also the prince's habitual agarwood incense. Everything is as usual, except that the man behind the curtain is not the prince.
When Xiang Meiren saw a strange man appear in the East Palace, she screamed in shock! The rest of the people also lost their faces and retreated one after another. Only Hehan's face did not change, and he indifferently led Situ Yan forward, pointed to the panicked person inside, and asked, "Yan'er, is this your father?" ”
"No, no!" Yan'er's little head shook like a rattle, "Yan'er doesn't know him, he's not a father!" ”
He Han smiled with satisfaction, and when he came back to his senses, his expression immediately became solemn: "The Praetorian Guard obeys orders, there are bold fanatics, pretending to replace the prince, come and take him down!" ”
"I, I, I ......" When the false prince heard that the Praetorian Guards were going to arrest him, he was so shocked that he fell to his knees and cried, "Niangniang, Niangniang spare your life!" The little one didn't deliberately pretend to be the prince, it was all the prince's old man's own idea. The little one is only a little proficient in ventriloquism, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let the villain replace him for a few days. ”
"Nonsense!" And Han shouted loudly, "The prince is good in the palace, why do you want you to replace him, you slave is simply open!" ”
"The villain is wronged!" When the ventriloquist heard this, he burst into tears and hurriedly explained, "It was really the prince who ordered the villain to come to the palace to replace him." The prince and he seemed to be going out of the palace to do something big, and he was afraid that he would be noticed by the people in the palace, so he found the villain. The villain just wants to make a little fortune with this, who knows......"
And Han smiled coldly, and the atmosphere of the entire East Palace became depressed and solemn. She swept over everyone present with a pair of wonderful eyes, and then said word by word: "The big guys have heard it, the prince has escaped from the palace without permission." His Majesty ordered him not to leave the palace for half a step, but the crown prince still left. This matter is very important, and it is necessary to report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible! ”
Everyone saw that his face was gloomy, and they all heard the words of the ventriloquist who pretended to be the prince, and they were silent for a while. He also ignored them, shook off the wide hem of his clothes, and left the main hall directly. (To be continued.) )
