Sikong Jin waited in the town for another three days, and only after all the people sent out to search for Su Rui's whereabouts had returned, and made sure that they had not found any trace of Su Rui in the vicinity, he set off for Beijing.

The strange death of the horse before the broken temple, Sikong Jin also ordered someone to check, there is only one veterinarian who can be found in the town, and he can't say why he came after seeing it, saying that he was tired and vomited blood and died.

Sikong Jin didn't think so, but because he wanted to return to Beijing quickly, he could only ask someone to transport the dead horse back to the inn first, and bring it back to the capital to check it out.

The wind and snow only stopped for five days, and on the sixth day, it raged again, and Sikong Jin's mood was as depressed and low as this gloomy sky. There are flying pigeons in the capital to pass the book, because the weather is fine these days, so the carrier pigeon communication is very timely, and the news of the capital can be passed through the guò pigeon to Sikong Jin's side.

In the past few days, the remnants of the second emperor's brother have been very rampant, they not only sent people to assassinate themselves, but also sent people to assassinate several important ministers in the court.

These people were all on the side of themselves and Sikong Jue with a clear banner at the beginning.

And the worst news is that His Majesty is seriously ill today. Sikong Jue did not announce this news to the public, but blocked all channels.

At present, only a few people know about it.

Doctor Lu Yun has been secretly arranged by Sikong Jue to enter the palace, but even if he is there, His Majesty's situation is not optimistic.

The emperor was poisoned by chronic poison, the poison was under the queen, and now that the queen is dead, there is no way to know what kind of poison she gave the emperor, and even Lu Yun said that he couldn't make an antidote for a while. These news made Sikong Jin have to rush back to the capital immediately, without a moment's delay.

The situation in the capital was already very tense, and what Sikong Jin saw along the way made him even more worried.

When it doesn't snow, the people come out to move, and people can be seen begging and fleeing every few steps on the pipe. The sheer number of people has made Sikong Jin tremble to the point of fear. The winter in Hu is unusually cold, and if the people come out to beg in such bad weather, it will really reach the point where there is no way.

If these displaced people riot, coupled with the instigation of the two emperor brothers and one party, if General Dingyuan abandons the border and transfers troops back to Beijing, it will really be internal and external troubles, and the Hu country will be in danger.

The snow on the pipeline has not disappeared, coupled with the fact that it has been trampled on and melted some, and the weather is particularly cold, the snow that has melted away instantly condensed into ice again, and it has become slippery, even if the horse walks on it, it can't stop slipping, I don't know how many times I fell along the way, not to mention the injury, even the horse can't bear it.

stumbling all the way back to the capital, the first thing Sikong Jin did was to enter the palace.

Sikong Jue has been sitting in the palace for a long time, and the guards inside and outside the palace have been cleared into their own people, so Sikong Jin did not waste time, and soon arrived at His Majesty's dormitory.

Fortunately, after the change of Guanghuamen before, His Majesty asked Sikong Jin and Sikong Jue to supervise the country on the grounds of physical discomfort, otherwise he would not have been to the court for so many days, but I was afraid that it would have caused all kinds of criticism in the DPRK and China.

Fortunately, Sikong Jue handled all the big and small things in the court very properly, so now, although everyone in the court and China are afraid that the assassination will come to their heads, there is no major change, but a few backbone ministers openly stand up and angrily denounce those assassins.

When Sikong Jin saw Sikong Jue, he was sitting in front of his father's sickbed and napping.

The fire in the room was burning vigorously and very warm, and there were several books scattered in front of and around Sikong Jue.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Sikong Jue was awakened, and when he raised his eyes and saw his younger brother coming over in a hurry, his expression was overjoyed.

"You're back." He stood up, a few books on his lap slipping to the ground.

"How's my father doing?" Sikong Jin took off his cloak and glanced at the old man lying on the bed.

He should have fallen asleep, but his face was unusually yellow, and he hadn't seen him for a few days, and both he and Sikong Jue seemed to have lost weight. His skin also lost its original smoothness and elasticity, if it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing, Sikong Jin really thought that what was lying on the bed was just a corpse.

"Not good." Sikong Jue's eyes faded, and he sighed slightly, "Doctor Lu is also helpless. ”

"Is it true that you can't find someone to detoxify?" Sikong Jin asked with a frown.

"If Doctor Lu says so, I'm afraid it's difficult." Sikong Jue shook his head helplessly. "Now it's just dragging, Doctor Lu said to think of a way again." He paused, "I didn't expect that woman to be so vicious!" ”

The corners of Sikong Jin's mouth twitched, "In today's situation, my father can't have anything to do." ”

"I also understand, so this matter is locked up in this palace." Sikong Jue said, "But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it can be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed for a lifetime." Sooner or later, someone outside will find out. And now the two emperor brothers and their party are making a lot of trouble, and Sikong Yan has nowhere to go. Do you have any news from your Secret Guard? ”

"Not yet." Sikong Jin shook his head. "Still looking."

"That's right. Feng Ling'er woke up. She's clamoring to see you. Sikong Jue said. Fortunately, you sent her back in time, and thanks to the presence of Doctor Lu, otherwise she would probably not have survived. ”

"Oh?" Sikong Jin was shocked, it had reached the point of being so strict, what about Su Rui...... His heart sank even more.

"You have to be mentally prepared." Sikong Jue continued, "Her feet may not be saved. ”

"Why?" Sikong Jin's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

"Because she had been freezing outside for so long, the flesh and skin on her feet were almost frostbitten." Sikong Jue said.

This...... Sikong Jin only felt that his breath was suffocating. He may be to blame. At that time, the inn was in chaos, and he only cared about wrapping Feng Ling'er with a brocade quilt, but forgot to get a pair of shoes for her. She turned out to be barefoot in this cold day, freezing for so many days.

Damn it! Sikong Jin's hand clenched tightly in his sleeve robe.

"Is her foot still saved?" Sikong Jin asked in a trembling voice.

Dr. Lu is trying to keep her feet, but the situation is not optimistic. The worst-case scenario is to amputate her feet, because if you let them rot like that, she will be in danger of dying. Sikong Jue's face was not good-looking.

Although he doesn't like Feng Ling'er, after all, they are all people who grew up together, and after getting along for so long, they still have some friendship, and he knows that Sikong Jin can't forget Feng Ling'er in his heart.

She first lost her husband, and now she is about to lose her feet, and I don't know if she can withstand such a blow. I don't know how Sikong Jin will face Feng Ling'er who has no feet in the future.

"That's right. Did Suri find it? Sikong Jue asked.

"Nope." Sikong Jin's eyes became even darker, and things came one after another, Rao was him, and he also felt that he was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry too much, I think Suri is a blessed man." Sikong Jue could see the dullness in Sikong Jin's heart, he couldn't do anything now, he could only comfort his younger brother, he raised his hand and patted Sikong Jin's shoulder, "Maybe it's not bad news that you can't find her, at least she still has hope of living." ”

Or maybe she's dead, but we don't know, Sikong Jin silently added in his heart.

It was something he didn't want to think about, but as time went on, he had to think about it.

"By the way, Ling'er, did she tell Su Rui's whereabouts?" Sikong Jin suddenly thought of this matter and asked hurriedly.

"I've asked Ling'er. She just shook her head, and she didn't say anything other than saying she wanted to see you. Sikong Jue sighed, "You'd better go see her first." ”

"Yes. Then I'll go first. I'll come back to you later. Sikong Jin nodded, and hurriedly walked out of His Majesty's dormitory.

Feng Ling'er was no longer placed in her original residence, and Sikong Jue was afraid that she would touch the scene, but arranged her into the Huanhua Palace. This used to be Sikong Jin's residence in the palace, and Sikong Jue felt that this might make her feel better.

Sikong Jin walked quickly all the way to the Huanhua Palace, and saw Feng Ling'er lying on the bed in the main hall, Liuli was waiting for her, and saw Sikong Jin come in and hurriedly walked over to salute.

She looked behind Sikong Jin, but there was no trace of Su Rui, and her heart sank.

Could it be that the princess really had an accident? No, it won't. No, it won't. escaped from the inn that day, she found Sikong Jin as soon as possible, and then Sikong Jin arranged for Feng Ling'er to return to the palace and asked her to accompany her. First, Liuli is a person he can trust, and secondly, Liuli's martial arts are very good, she can protect Feng Ling'er along the way, and when she arrives in the palace, she can also protect Feng Ling'er closely.

"See the prince." She said respectfully.

"No courtesy." Sikong Jin waved his hand, the etiquette in the palace could not be abolished, and he saluted the person on the opposite bed through the curtain, "See the imperial sister-in-law." ”

"Ah Jin. Is that you? Feng Ling'er on the bed became excited when she heard Sikong Jin's voice, her voice was a little higher, and she was even more trembling and crying.

Sikong Jin silently sighed in his heart, "It's this king." ”

"Come here!" Feng Ling'er couldn't get out of bed, she could only see Sikong Jin's figure dimly through the light veil, and her heartache was beyond her heartache.

She knew that most of her feet couldn't be saved, so she waited for Sikong Jin to come back, although she didn't know what she could do after Sikong Jin came back, but as long as he was there, it seemed that it didn't matter.

But can it really be okay? At the beginning, Sikong Jin's legs couldn't walk, so he gave up on him, and now?

Her feet are about to be cut off, she is about to become a cripple, what kind of eyes will Sikong Jin look at her?

What else is she going to do with that ugly bastard to get him back!

It's all to blame for that ugly monster, if she hadn't dropped herself, how could she have been frozen like this! She must have had a heart! Take care of that gentleman wholeheartedly! but blind to themselves!
