Chapter Ninety-Five: When I Was Young

I actually don't know a lot of things about the prince, although I have been with him for more than ten years, but I have never seen through him. - Chen En

***

Looking at Long Yuan's unpredictable expression, Chen En waited for a long time before getting an answer, but at this time, his confidence was insufficient. The most important thing for the subordinates around Long Yuan is not to be clever and capable, but to obey orders, and never overstep their bounds.

This is the most basic difference between his subordinates and his disciples, Long Yuan encourages his disciples to express their opinions, but he will never allow his subordinates to carry out orders to act without his "improvisation" orders, he will never allow his subordinates to make their own decisions.

What he says, you just do what you do honestly and hard, he won't and won't have time to tell you the reason why he did this, this move that you don't understand or seems unreasonable may be a small part of his entire chess game, or it may be the most critical link, once someone dares to carry Long Yuan's back and act against himself because they don't understand, it is very likely to disrupt the overall situation and make some major things fail.

This is the first rule that Long Yuan taught Chen En, although he has been following Long Yuan for a long time, and occasionally talks a word or two more because of something inconsequential like Mo Xiangsi, but he also looks at Long Yuan's face, relying on his own face in front of Long Yuan.

And after Fang Yuan's matter came out, Long Yuan's body was poisonous, and the divine doctors under Long Yuan also came to Jiangnan secretly, but after a pulse check and medicine, they had no clue, and they couldn't even see what the most critical medicine in the antidote was. Long Yuan's temper also seemed to be much more irritable, although outsiders couldn't see it, but Chen En, who followed him every day, was keenly aware of it. When Long Yuan came back, he used thunderous means to dispose of a large group of people under him, and the methods were so ruthless that they were terrifying. It is also a warning to those who have been derelict in their duties, lazy and slack, and have two hearts!

Now, the people around Long Yuan have been purged, except for a few plans that Long Yuan already knows about to use against him, the eyeliner planted by other brothers and officials from the DPRK and China around him has basically been eradicated by Long Yuan, and it is also a bumper harvest.

But this incident inevitably made Chen En feel panicked, after all, the people who were executed were all people around them. We worked together yesterday. Overnight, everyone is in a different place, and everyone is in danger.

Chen En hesitated for a moment, and saw that Long Yuan had already asked. I was also ready to answer: "Lord, although the old slave doesn't know any medical skills, but the old slave thinks." These three old ladies have lived in Yunling Kingdom for many years, could this poison be some kind of secret recipe of Yunling Kingdom. ”

Long Yuan heard this. Mo Yuan's eyes stared at Chen En tightly, Chen En only felt sweat like rain, and almost knelt down to plead guilty for his words.

At this time, Long Yuan slowly retracted his gaze: "This is possible." I've thought about it too, but Zhongzhou is closed to the country, and there is no doctor from Yunling Country at all......"

Long Yuan's words gradually stopped. Raising his eyes and glancing at Chen En, "You mean, Arnold?" Long Yuan's brows did not loosen. As far as he knew, Arnold didn't know anything about medicine at all.

Chen En nodded, but continued: "The old slave thinks that he is from Yunling Kingdom after all, so I want to give it a try, and ask him if he has heard of this symptom, maybe it will help him to find an antidote, but the poisoning of the prince is the biggest secret, and the old slave does not dare to make his own decisions, so dare to ask the prince ......."

Long Yuan looked at Chen En, who was trembling, for a long time, before finally putting down the letter in his hand and breathing a sigh of relief: "Uncle Chen...... I'm a little tired these days, I've never been so tired......"

Chen En's body shook.

Long Yuan's words were full of exhaustion, and it took a long time to rub the sun**, as if he had said something he didn't want to say, and finally silenced again: "...... Let him come. ”

Chen En hurriedly answered and asked people to call Arnold, but Chen En himself was so shocked by Long Yuan's "Uncle Chen" that he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. Long Yuan used to call himself that, but that was when he was young...... No, it can't be said that when he was young, Long Yuan almost didn't have a child, and it can only be said that he was young at that time.

At that time, he had just been crowned the prince, had his own mansion and moved out of the palace, looking at the big empty mansion, Chen En's sister handed over the child, who was also the master, into her own hands, at that time, Long Yuan was still holding his sister Chen's hand, looked up at Chen En, and shouted: "Uncle Chen."

Since then, her sister Chen has forced Chen En to swear by the ancestral tablet that in this life and this life, Chen Ensheng will be a slave to protect the Eight Princes, and die to guard the Eight Princes' Mansion.

And that "Uncle Chen" was also Long Yuan's face to Chen En in front of Chen.

At that time, Chen En just thought that he was only a half-old child, but on the second day, Long Yuan used his means and ability to make Chen En have to bend his knees to him.

Yes, he is such a child who is not liked by the emperor, and he can be crowned the prince ** portal in Beijing in his teens, which is definitely not a simple character.

At that time, he was just over forty, and he was still in the prime of life, and he arranged a qiē in the palace, but on the first day, he was punished by Long Yuan's dormitory for not reporting the affairs of the palace to Long Yuan.

He was surprised, looking at the child-like, but the eyes were cold, Chen En knelt in his dormitory all night, Long Yuan was on the desk, and he was resting. He looked at the child's cold eyes in the flickering candlelight, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

The next day, Chen En dragged his tired body to deal with the deployment of the palace and the arrangements of the personnel in the palace, and he did not care about Long Yuan in detail at night, and returned one by one.

Long Yuan put forward six dissatisfactions with Chen En's self-righteous arrangement, one by one, Chen En was speechless, that was the first time Chen En expressed his admiration for the child's meticulous thoughts, that night, he was still punished by the dormitory, the night was still the same, but he looked at the white doves coming and going in the dormitory of Long Yuan, Chen En seemed to know that Long Yuan not only had this square inch in front of him, but he may have a backing behind him that made him jaw-dropping.

In the early morning of the next day, Long Yuan explained to him the arrangements for many matters one by one, Chen En was puzzled, but his question was only sneered and coldly ignored by Long Yuan, and he did not have a word of explanation, only let him do it.

Chen En acted according to Long Yuan's instructions, but he was really cold about the order to secretly execute a large number of family servants, and he hated the act of letting him order someone to sell the maids in the mansion to a brothel, but after all, he still complied with them one by one. The hard work of the two days made his emotions a little out of control, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse for a while.

But that night, Long Yuan still punished him, the reason was that he had hesitated. That night, he knelt in front of Long Yuan's table, Long Yuan didn't have a secret letter scroll for the first time, he was just looking at the person kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Three times, you can still stay here, just because you are Mama's younger brother." Be my man, you're not qualified at all. ”

At that time, Chen En only felt full of unwillingness, and just wanted to resist, but saw a mysterious black shadow flash in, knelt respectfully in front of Long Yuan, and presented a dozen letters to Long Yuan. Long Yuan didn't look at it, he waved the letter to Chen En's face casually, and turned away with the black shadow.

Chen En shook his hands and looked at the letters on the ground one by one, and the identities of those people were revealed one by one, and only then did Chen En feel a chill down his spine, and he could also think of how much of a threat Long Yuan and even the entire palace would be if those people were allowed to stay in the palace.

That was the only time that Long Yuan explained to him, and since then, Chen En never doubted Long Yuan's decision again, and every time he carried it out vigorously.

It is precisely because of this that Chen En's dedication has also been more and more appreciated by Long Yuan, and he will try to explain more things to him to do, and he will also reveal one or two things to him from time to time for some close things. In the past ten years, people are not grass and trees, after all, there is affection, Chen En gradually figured out Long Yuan's temperament, and then he was able to say a few words as he is now, and Long Yuan gradually indulged him, or after all, few people can stay by his side for so long, those people are either dead, or go to other places where they should go, Long Yuan's side, there has never been anyone who has always followed.

In fact, later, Chen En could also see that Long Yuan, this child has been alone for a long time, so he doesn't dare to get too close to people, and in the environment he lives in, he has never been sincere, so for himself, an old man who has served him tremblingly for more than ten years, but also shows the care of the elderly from time to time, Long Yuan is not ruthless after all.

For so many years, Long Yuan has been through ups and downs all the way, except for Long Yao, the old emperor, Chen En remembered that this was the first time that Long Yuan had suffered such a big loss. Therefore, Chen En really couldn't figure out Long Yuan's feelings at the moment.

Just when Chen En was trembling and sweating like rain, Arnold finally came.

Long Yuan's hand slowly rubbed his forehead, and he didn't say anything, Ren Arnold saluted, and Long Yuan didn't speak, only listened to Chen En briefly tell Arnold about the symptoms of the poison, but he only said that there were people, and he didn't say that the person who was poisoned was Long Yuan.

Arnold was slightly stunned when he heard the symptoms of poisoning, and looked at Chen En with a strange expression.

Looking at Arnold's expression, Chen En's heart was also excited: "Have you heard of this poison?" ”

Arnold said: "May I ask who was poisoned?" ”

Following Chen En for more than a month, Arnold's Chinese speaking is getting better and better.

Long Yuan listened to his words, and seemed to have some way, so he also put down the letter in his hand and looked at Arnold with raised eyebrows.

Chen Endao: "You don't have to know this, you just say that you have ever heard of it." ”

Arnold nodded: "I've heard that we have a lot of people there to eat, but there are no in the Central Plains." ”

Long Yuan's eyes became deeper as he looked at Arnold, but he was speechless.

Chen Endao: "What kind of poison is that, can there be an antidote?" ”

Arnold said: "I'm not sure, can you show me the antidote you said?" ”

Chen En looked at Long Yuan, Long Yuan twisted his eyebrows, took out an antidote and handed it over. That antidote, Long Yuan has always carried with him.

Arnold looked at the antidote given by Fang Zhong and sniffed it, and then asked Chen En to take a silver needle and scratch it down and taste it, and Arnold nodded: "It's a poisonous flower!" That's right. ”

"What poisonous flower?" Chen En asked.

Arnold said: "That person is not taking an antidote every day, but a real poison!" (To be continued) R640
