619 unforgettable

The prince returned to the dynasty in triumph, annihilated the bandit army, and investigated the shortcomings of the collusion between officials and bandits in Chenzhou in one fell swoop, which made the dragon's heart happy.

On the day of Gong Xun's return journey with the escort army, the people of Chenzhou warmly bid farewell and thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for giving them peace and tranquility in addition to the harm to the place.

The queen mother learned the good news early in the morning, and heard Emperor Yucheng praise their son in her ear, and she was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

However, soon, the queen mother was not happy, but turned worried.

Listening to the report of the prince's cronies returning to the palace, His Royal Highness the prince was plotted against in Chenzhou, was severely poisoned, and his life was in danger. If it weren't for Mr. Dongfang who brought a magic prescription, then they might not have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time.

In the carriage back to the palace, Gong Xun leaned wilted in the carriage, holding the prescription in his hand, covering his chest, and coughing twice from time to time.

Although his poison was cured, his body suffered serious losses. In the later suppression of bandits, Gong Xun was responsible for decision-making, and the actions were all in charge of Meng Lingdong, the imperial guard with a knife beside him.

Knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisonous, Meng Lingdong was worried. Please go all over the famous doctors in Chenzhou, and no one can cure this poison. At that time, the officials and bandits of Chenzhou City colluded to put the entire city under their control. They were trapped in the city, and all the messengers who went out to ask for help were killed outside the city.

Just when Meng Lingdong was at a loss and haggard, there was a Mr. Dongfang outside the door, who claimed to be able to solve the poison of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Mr. Dongfang is a master in the world, with profound cultivation and superb martial arts. His arrival brought hope to Meng Lingdong.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned and unconscious. Finally, after taking Mr. Dongfang's antidote, he came to his senses. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still physically weak, he was able to command the escort army and mobilize local troops and horses. Attacking from the inside and outside, all the bandit troops in Chenzhou City were annihilated in one fell swoop.

After exterminating the bandit army, Gong Xun was in a hurry to return to the palace to resume his life, so he got into a carriage and rushed back to Luhua City.

It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just recovered from a serious illness, and the itinerary is very slow. Even so, bumps and fatigue along the way. still let Gong Xun fall asleep.

Before the carriage arrived at the palace, the queen mother herself was waiting at the palace gate, and behind her stood a row of imperial doctors. As long as Gong Xun arrives, he will be able to receive the best treatment as soon as possible.

Although Emperor Yucheng did not come, he also asked Gonggong Chen beside him from time to time, and heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned to the palace. He hurriedly moved to Zhengyang Palace.

"Xun'er-Xun'er-" The queen sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at his sleeping son on the couch, he couldn't help but shed tears.

This child is also too bitter, this time her father sent him out of the palace to suppress bandits, and she was worried that something would happen to him. A few days ago, she was flustered and couldn't let go until her father told her that Xun'er had fulfilled her mission and would soon complete the mission and return. She was happy for two days. But I heard of such things.

If it's a little worse, won't she see her son again?

"The emperor has arrived—"

"Excuse me. How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned before, and his life hung by a thread. Now, the poison has been resolved, and His Highness only needs to wait for his body to recover, and there is no big deal. ”

"These traitors!" He must cut them into thousands of pieces and cut them with a thousand knives! Emperor Yucheng in anger said ruthlessly.

Entering the room, the queen mother came over to salute, "Your Majesty." ”

"Queen, don't worry too much, the imperial doctor has said that Xun'er is fine."

"But the emperor, the concubine almost lost her son. In the future, don't let Xun'er do such a dangerous thing. ”

If it were usual, the queen would never say such a thing. As the crown prince, it is the emperor's consistent requirement to take the lead and set an example for all the people in the world. But at this moment, under the worried son's body, the queen mother said what a mother wanted to say the most.

"Okay, okay, I won't let Xun'er go for such a dangerous thing in the future." Emperor Yucheng comforted the queen and came to the bedside.

Seeing Gong Xun's hand exposed outside the quilt, it was rare for the father and son to be warm, picked up Gong Xun's hand, and wanted to put it into the quilt, but found that Gong Xun's hand was holding something tightly.

After a closer look, he found that what Gong Xun was holding in his hand was nothing else, it seemed to be two pieces of paper. I tried to pull it open, but I couldn't pull it.

"Meng Guard—"

"Your Majesty."

"What's going on?" Emperor Yucheng looked at Gong Xun's hand and didn't know what it was, so that his son would not relax even in his sleep.

"It's ...... A prescription from Mr. Dongfang. Meng Lingdong's face was a little unnatural, he lowered his head, looked at the two prescriptions, and his eyes showed a touch of nostalgia and sadness.

"Mr. Dongfang? And this prescription, what's going on? ”

So Meng Lingdong roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter, Emperor Yucheng turned his head, looked at his son, a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes, and soon returned to darkness.

"In this way, it was this Mr. Dongfang who saved Xun'er's life, Your Majesty, we really have to thank him."

"yes." Emperor Yucheng responded to the queen's proposal, "I don't know where this Mr. Dongfang is now, I really want to thank him in person." ”

"Back to the emperor, Mr. Dongfang is a master of the world and likes to travel everywhere. This time it happened to appear in Chenzhou, and it was also a chance. After he had detoxified His Highness, he left, and no one knew where he had gone. ”

"That's a pity."

"Queen, these days you have been working hard day and night for Xun'er's affairs, and now that Xun'er has returned, and the people are fine, you better go back to the palace and have a good rest."

"No, Your Majesty, the concubine has to wait for Xun'er to wake up." She, as a mother, is not by her side every time her children are in danger. As soon as she thought of her son, who had encountered this danger several times, the queen mother couldn't wait for Gong Xun to stay by her side forever and not go anywhere.

"Be obedient, when Xun'er wakes up, I will let someone tell you. Come on, send the mother back to the palace - "The emperor didn't allow the queen mother to say more, so he sent her back to Chaohua Palace.

The queen mother was helpless and glanced at her son lying on the bed. looked at the emperor standing beside him again, saluted and left.

After the queen left, the emperor turned around. Facing Meng Lingdong.

"Ling Dong, you answer me honestly, what else happened when you went to Chenzhou this time?"

Xun'er, this kid, has always been cautious, knowing that Chenzhou is in crisis, why is he still so careless about the enemy's way?

And that Mr. Oriental is also very suspicious. If this Mr. Dongfang is just an ordinary person, then why does Meng Lingdong look evasive, and Xun'er is holding on to his prescription?

What a shrewd man Emperor Yucheng was. It didn't take long to see what was out of the ordinary. It's just that the queen mother was here just now, and she didn't want to say too much and make her worried.

…………

"Your Majesty."

"Ling Dong, I let you be by the prince's side. It's for you to protect him. And also to make him make fewer mistakes. Now that these things have seriously affected the crown prince, do you still plan to hide it? Emperor Yucheng's voice was angry, no matter who faced the emperor's upcoming anger, he didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"Your Majesty, in fact, ......" Meng Lingdong raised his head, just wanting to make it clear, but when he thought of the reason for this matter. I don't know where to say it.

"Tell the truth."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never dared to forget his mission after rushing to Chenzhou on the order of the emperor. Sleepless nights. In rectifying state politics, we did not dare to slack off, nor did we stop to rest. "This is good, but if it is too much, how can the body stand it?

The minister persuaded His Highness several times, let His Highness rest, don't work too hard, His Royal Highness didn't listen, only said that he didn't want to live up to the emperor's expectations, exterminate the mountain bandits, investigate the shortcomings of Chenzhou, and return to the palace as soon as possible. His Royal Highness was able to stand it at first, but slowly he was a little overwhelmed. ”

Emperor Yucheng was listening.

Gradually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discovered that the officials of Chenzhou colluded with the mountain bandits to rob the merchants on the official roads outside the city, and even the officials and soldiers under the banner of Zuo Jinwu in Chenzhou were also implicated. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sensed that a conspiracy was about to start against him, so he asked his subordinates to be careful. At the same time, he let the guards disguise themselves as the people of Chenzhou and hide in the market. Wait for the command to fight back. If you find that the situation is not right, you can also ask for help outside the city, or hold the token given by the emperor before leaving, and mobilize local soldiers and horses. ”

Emperor Yucheng nodded secretly, Xun'er's measures were indeed used well. As soon as he appeared in Chenzhou, he was bound to become the focus of contradictions, and everyone from all sides was paying close attention to His Royal Highness the Prince's movements, and if the government was involved, it would be difficult for him to do anything.

And this hand can not only find out the news, but also cooperate with the escort army. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. If it goes well, please enter the urn and wipe out all the thieves who broke the law. If something happens, it can be regarded as leaving room for yourself.

"The arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as well as the investigation of the real cause of death of the former magistrate, made the officials of Chenzhou ready to move. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expected that someone was going to plot against him and secretly attack him, so he also asked the minister to set up a situation in the governor's mansion, waiting for those people to fall into the net. ”

"In that case, why did Xun'er get poisoned?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince caught the poisoner, he was in a trance for some reason, and he was actually hit by the poisonous needle of the thief. The thief knew that he would not escape death, and with the intention of dying together, he shot the poisonous needle hidden in his teeth and hit His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Emperor Yucheng was shocked, Ling Dong's words were vague, but he seemed to have something in his words.

"Who is that thief, do you know him?"

"Ministers know." Meng Lingdong reluctantly admitted that the emperor was too shrewd to hide this matter at all.

"Don't tell me yet!"

"That person is Wen Xi, the former guard of His Royal Highness, the last time he was in Ganzhou, Wen Xi was harmful...... At the will of the imperial doctor of the road, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the ministers to die. Meng Lingdong closed his eyes, and everything in the past seemed to be as if it happened yesterday.

Along the way in Ganzhou, Wen Xi, and Miss Lu, these people are still alive. No matter how unhappy there is, fortunately, they are still alive.

However, this time, even Miss Lu is gone.

Several people in the past stood in one place, but Miss Lu was missing, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel at that time?

Is that trance for someone?

"In that case, then she should be a dead man!" Emperor Yucheng was furious, and this time his anger was directed at Meng Lingdong.

If he had solved the woman named Wenxi, he would not have left such a trouble. How could he not know that the imperial guards he personally gave the title were still such soft-hearted people!

"The minister is guilty." Meng Lingdong did not argue, Wen Xi was killed that day, Meng Lingdong could use this reason to excuse himself, saying that he didn't know that Wen Xi was still alive. But Meng Lingdong didn't, he didn't want to deceive the emperor, and he didn't want to explain anything to himself at this time.

He clearly knew that Wenxi was still alive, but he still let her go.

Emperor Yucheng suppressed his anger, "What happened later? ”

"Wen Xi released a poison needle to plot against His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was too late for the ministers to find out. The minister killed Wen Xi, and the poison on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also began to attack. The ministers invited famous doctors all over Chenzhou City, but there was no way, and the outside of Chenzhou City had been controlled by the bandits, so it was impossible to exchange news with Luhua City. Just when the minister was desperate, Mr. Dongfang brought a prescription that could cure His Highness, and His Highness did wake up after taking the medicine. That's how it happened, Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Yucheng walked to the side of the bed, and with one force, he pulled away Gong Xun's fist. Then he picked up the prescription and unfolded it.

"What's going on?" This prescription must have touched the water, and the handwriting on it was all paste.

"This prescription was accidentally left behind by Mr. Dongfang, and after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince woke up, he saw the prescription left on the ground and asked where Mr. Dongfang came from. Mr. Dongfang said that after his old friend finished writing the prescription, he accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table, and the old friend had never been impatient and was too lazy to write the second one, and although the handwriting on it was a little blurry, it did not affect the recognition, so he took it. ”

Hmph, this reason is only believed by three-year-olds.

Emperor Yucheng didn't believe it, and of course Gong Xun wouldn't believe it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still wanted to ask, but Mr. Dongfang waved his hand and left. After that, Mr. Dongfang never appeared before us again. ”

This is what happened to the whole thing, Meng Lingdong didn't want to go into such detail, but he knew that the emperor was already angry, and if he didn't know a clear understanding, he would definitely not stop.

Emperor Yucheng held the prescription that had been pasted, turned his head to look at the palace on the bed, who was a little uncertain because of the loss of what he was doing, and then looked at Meng Lingdong, who was kneeling on the ground with his back straight, and walked around the hall twice.

"Ling Dong, what do you say......" Emperor Yucheng suddenly stopped, wanting to say something to Meng Lingdong, but he didn't know how to speak, and continued to walk around the hall irritably.

Meng Lingdong didn't guess, in fact, he was nervous, and with the emperor's shrewdness, he might have thought of the same thing as them.

If it is true, it will naturally be a great blessing, but if the speculation is empty again, how will their Highness bear it?

Along the way, His Royal Highness held the prescription in his hand and said nothing, presumably his heart was also at war with heaven and man.
