The sharp sound of gunfire pierced the night sky, waking up those who were also immersed in their dreams to become Gu medicine doctors.

The two maids who were waiting in the next room hurried to the second prince's bedroom, and as soon as they pushed the door open, they saw the second prince Feng Han lying in a pool of blood. The two maids froze in place, covering their mouths with their hands, and screamed in horror.

One of the maids kept stepping back and said, "You wait here first, and I'll go find someone!" ”

After saying that, she didn't care about her companion's pale face and fled in a hurry.

By the time she returned, she was already followed by a group of menacing guards, but all that was waiting for them was an empty room, and the bed was already stained with bright red blood.

The captain of the guard frowned and asked sharply, "What about the people?!" ”

The maid who led the way looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, and anxiously defended: "When we came before, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was lying on the bed, his eyes were so wide open, his head was full of blood, and he was holding a gun in his hand. You have to believe me, I really didn't lie, I saw it with my own eyes! ”

Seeing that she was trembling, the captain of the guard forgave her for not having the courage to lie, and immediately asked people to search the house inside and out, but still failed to find any trace of the second prince.

The blood is still there, and the pistol is there, all of which shows that what the maid said is true, but the most important person is nowhere to be found, which is really incredible!

In desperation, the captain of the guard had no choice but to send someone to invite the eldest prince to come over.

Xia, who heard the news, quickly rushed to the scene, looking at the blood on the bed and the black pistol that still had some heat, his expression was very solemn.

Listen to the captain of the guard tell you what happened. Xia thought for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on the trembling maid: "You just said that when you heard the gunshot, you rushed to the second prince's bedroom with another maid?" ”

"Yes." The maid thought for a while, afraid that the eldest prince would not believe her words, so she added two more sentences. "At that time, we were all scared and stupid, and we didn't know what to do about this, so I asked the maid to stay where I was and watch, and I rushed to find someone to deal with this matter in the future."

"Where is that maid now?"

Hearing this, the maid was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that since she returned to the scene. The companion was never seen again. She was so nervous that she was about to cry: "I don't know, I really don't know, Your Highness, I really didn't lie, please believe me......"

Xia motioned to her not to worry: "Have you seen that maid before?" You tell me her name and physiognomy traits. ”

"I hadn't seen her before. She said that her name was Ke Lei, and that she was the new maid, and that she happened to be on duty with me tonight, so we had a few conversations. She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a little freckle on her nose, and she was quite cute-looking, and she spoke very skillfully," said the maid. Then he said, "If you find her, you will know that I am not lying, and I can swear with my life!" ”

Xia called someone over to check on the maids on duty tonight, and the results were found. But there is not a single maid named Kelei in the entire palace.

Hearing this result, the maid was stupid, and the last glimmer of hope was ruthlessly wiped out, she forgot to cry even when she cried, and could only repeat over and over again: "Your Royal Highness, please believe me, I really didn't lie, I saw His Royal Highness the Second Prince die on the bed, covered in blood and ......"

Xia looked at her hesitant appearance, and called the internal servant official who was in charge of managing the maids: "This young lady will be handed over to you for the time being, don't let her have any accidents, I will send someone to invite her over if there is something." ”

The chamberlain nodded in response, silently taking the maid away.

Seeing their backs disappear behind the gate, Xia turned his gaze to the captain of the guard: "Did you hear what you said just now?" ”

The captain of the guard hurriedly lowered his head and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I heard it." ”

"Any thoughts?"

"The subordinates will immediately strengthen the defensive arrangement of the palace, and they will definitely not let those young people step into the palace again!"

Xia looked at him quietly, and when he saw that he was sweating profusely and was about to be unable to hold on, Xia slowly spoke: "Give you two days to make a complete rainproof layout plan for me to see." In addition, all the guards who are on duty tonight will be transferred to the special training camp of the military headquarters, and they will be trained for a while, and they will come back when they reach the passing line for senior soldiers. ”

The tone is not heavy, but the words are loud.

The captain of the guard was busy complaining in his heart, but his face was so respectful that he didn't dare to show any color: "Then what about the palace guards during this time?" Everyone has been transferred, I'm afraid it's a little insufficient......"

"I'll transfer someone else over later, you don't need to worry about this," Xia lightly swept around the room, "The forensic doctor will come to collect evidence later, and before that, you will be responsible for protecting the integrity of the scene." ”

"Yes."

After saying that, Xia turned around and left, and when he was far away, the captain of the guard dared to show a bitter melon-like face. He casually tore off the button of his collar, panting, and secretly said that His Royal Highness the Great Prince was really ruthless.

The special training camp of the military department is not a place where anyone can enter, and under normal circumstances, only when the military department needs to call in special talents, they will be sent to that place for special processing. The so-called special processing refers to intensive training from physical to psychological, the difference is that the training methods there are more extreme, and the people who come out after entering are either vegetative or Iron Man.

But then again, the captain of the guard felt that it was a good thing to be able to send those boys to a special training camp to frustrate their morale, at least, no one would be able to use his background to play temper when he arranged tasks in the future.

Thinking like this, the captain of the guards was in a relaxed mood again, he didn't look at the angry and dissatisfied faces of the guards present, and carefully arranged for people to protect the scene.

After Xia dealt with the matter of sealing the cold, he returned to his father's bedroom, and saw that the doctors were still around the bedside to diagnose his father's condition, so he slowed down and stood aside and watched quietly.

Those white dangling white coats. made him involuntarily think of Jian Ling, in his impression, no one could wear a white coat more beautiful than her.

It took a while for someone to discover his existence. hurriedly saluted him: "Your Royal Highness, you have come just in time, His Majesty the Emperor's physical condition is abnormal. The medical equipment here is not complete and needs to be transferred to the main headquarters of the Royal Hospital immediately. ”

Hearing this, Xia's brows furrowed: "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that my father's physical condition had stabilized and he would be able to wake up soon?! ”

"It was indeed stable and there were slight signs of awakening, but due to the removal of the needle of the nutrient solution two days ago, the body lost the nutrient supply for a short period of time. Add to that the airways are blocked. Unable to breathe normally, the brain is deprived of oxygen, blood circulation is accelerated, and the toxicity that has faded is induced again and penetrates into the kidneys. In the past two days, we have been trying to salvage. All the methods that can be used have been used, but none of them have any effect, as long as the current situation is concerned, His Majesty the Emperor can only be sent to the Royal Hospital for surgical treatment, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life. ”

Xia didn't expect that his father's body would suddenly change, and his face changed: "If the operation is performed, how many chances of success can there be?" ”

According to the unwritten rules of the hospital, it is not possible to casually disclose the probability of success of the operation to the patient's family, which is easy to cause disputes. Although the identity of the man in front of him is unspeakably expensive, the more he can't make any promises, otherwise if there is an accident during the operation, their hospital will jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it away.

The attending doctor weighed it again and again in his heart, and finally chose Mingzhe to protect himself, and his face was sad: "The poison in His Majesty the Emperor is more tricky. We have never encountered this kind of case before, and we cannot guarantee a 100% success rate, so we can only guarantee that we will do our best to save the life of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Hearing this, Xia's gaze slowly deepened: "Are you perfunctory to me?" ”

"Don't dare, I'm just telling the truth, after all, doctors are also mortals, and there are diseases that can't be cured and people who can't be saved. When I say this, I just hope that you can have a number in your heart, and if something really happens, you can be prepared. ”

Xia hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Before the operation, I began to leave a way out for myself, it seems that today's medical system really needs to be reformed." ”

The attending doctor's eyes changed slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Xia glanced at his father who was covered with various tubes on the bed: "If you don't have surgery, what will happen to your father?" ”

"Toxicity can corrode away the internal organs and eventually lead to death."

It seems that there is only one way to do surgery.

Xia retracted his gaze: "Just follow your wishes, send my father to the royal hospital to prepare for surgery." ”

As soon as he heard this, the attending doctor immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but before he could speak again, Xia continued: "However, regarding the doctor for this operation, I have my own designated candidate, so I won't bother you." ”

The attending doctor was stunned for a moment: "Excuse me, who is the doctor you appointed?" ”

Xia looked at him with a smile: "An excellent doctor who will not use some ambiguous words to perfunctory when facing the patient's family." ”

The attending doctor heard his gorgeous meaning, his old face was slightly red, and his eyes flashed slightly: "If I can get the praise of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, then I really want to take a serious look at the demeanor of this excellent doctor." ”

As if remembering something, Xia said again: "I remember, she was expelled from your royal hospital before. ”

Seeing Xia's mysterious gaze, the attending doctor showed a puzzled look, and he couldn't figure out who this doctor would be.

The forensic doctor quickly rushed to the palace to sample and test the blood on Feng Han's bed, and finally confirmed that the blood was indeed Feng Han's, including the pistol's fingerprints. Combined with the maid's confession, it was initially inferred that Feng Han committed suicide, and since Feng Han's body was not found, it was not possible to conclude that Feng Han had died for the time being.

In order to find Feng Han's whereabouts, Xia personally came forward to negotiate with the National Assembly and the Ministry of Military Affairs on behalf of the royal family, and worked together to find people.

The news of the suicide of the second prince spread far and wide, and in a blink of an eye, it spread all over the country, causing speculation from all sides. Since the previous craze for orc replica incidents has not completely passed, it is inevitable that some people with intentions will link the two things together at this time, and make all kinds of speculations without evidence but reverie.

One of the most widely circulated speculations is that Feng Han has nothing to do with the beast replica, and perhaps he is one of the masterminds behind the scenes, and the matter of seeing the beast replica was exposed. I couldn't bear it for a while, so I committed suicide.

As if to confirm this speculation, His Majesty the Emperor was transferred to the Royal Hospital, saying that it was cautious and highly poisonous. Life is in danger.

Now the people of the whole country are boiling, how could His Majesty the Emperor be poisoned at this critical moment?! Or is this actually the hands and feet of the second prince. In order to conceal his crime, he didn't even let go of his biological father, no wonder he committed suicide after the incident! Such a ****, after doing so many bad things, will definitely have nightmares when you sleep!

Because of Feng Han's suicide, the people who were still demonstrating eased up a little, at this time. As the eldest prince, Xia took the initiative to summon the media from all sides and personally clarified to the people of the whole country what had happened in the past few days.

Under the flashlight, Xia, who was wearing a black military uniform, stood alone on the stage. His eyes were calm and calm, his handsome facial features were as delicate and three-dimensional as sculptures, and the military medals on his chest that had been exchanged for blood were shining.

There were thirty-two in all, a total of thirty-two battles, and a total of thirty-two near-deaths.

Their existence shows that this man is loyal to the honor of this country.

The reporters, who were still in the mood to dig up the gossip of the royal family, faced with those medals representing their military exploits at this time, suddenly dispelled the idea of gossip. In the face of such a heroic man. Those gossip thoughts seem so childish and ignorant.

At the beginning of the media conference, reporters asked questions in an orderly manner, mostly about the truth about what had happened in recent times.

Xia calmly accepted the question, and recounted the matter simply and directly, of course, some of the more sensitive fragments. He deliberately ignored or changed it. True and false, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Some reporters keenly caught those neglected clips and asked them to the end, but Xia could only smile gentlemanly: "I'm sorry, this is my family matter, it belongs to personal privacy, and I really have nothing to say." ”

The polite tone and direct refusal made the inquisitive reporters shut their mouths stupidly.

Halfway through the press conference, a large number of old men suddenly rushed in, saying that they wanted to ask General Xia for an explanation.

These old men were emotional, and there was inevitably some intensity between their words, which immediately attracted all the media cameras. Some reporters also seized this opportunity to stand up and ask righteous words: "Your Royal Highness, you appear as a representative of the royal family this time, but as we all know, you are also the youngest lieutenant general in the empire. This incident about the beast replica has a very wide range, and some people even rumor that the military department will provide the corpses of soldiers to the research center that develops the beast replica every year to feed those beast replicas, this matter is so appalling, I wonder if the military department should give an explanation to the families of these poor and innocent soldiers? ”

Facing hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience, Xia stood quietly in place, his dark eyes bottomless.

After a few seconds, he slowly spoke, with a solemn expression: "Brown, enlisted in the army at the age of eighteen, participated in the battle of Ceylon at the age of twenty-five, died in the shells thrown by the enemy, and his bones were gone, and he was awarded a first-class merit afterwards; Abel, who enlisted in the army at the age of nineteen, died at the age of twenty-seven in the battle of the sneak attack on the enemy, and died to protect his comrades, and the corpse was used as a tool by the enemy to vent his anger, and was insulted, and his final whereabouts were unknown......

For the rest of the day, he earnestly recounted a whole list of hundreds of death fighters.

These are all soldiers who have died for various reasons since he led the army, and the name of each and every one of them is deeply remembered in his mind and imprinted in his heart as a future Gu medicine doctor. Those young lives, walking in front of him, each one is so vivid, but in the end, what is left to this world is only endless lamentation and grief.

"Aidan, who enlisted in the army at the age of eighteen, went through dozens of battles, and before he was discharged, he could not bear the pressure of death psychologically, and finally committed suicide in the barracks, because he had no immediate family, his body was cremated in the barracks......"

I don't know when, those reporters who were full of curiosity put down the microphones in their hands one after another, and their expressions were heavy. Even the flashing lights involuntarily stopped, and everyone straightened their waists, quietly listening to each name, seriously imagining what those warriors looked like when they were alive.

At this moment, a gray anger called shame enveloped every corner.

"Liu Zhen, who joined the army at the age of eighteen, left the battlefield in order to protect the people of a village, took the initiative to divert the attention of the enemy, and finally died under the guns of the enemy, and when he was found, only a puddle of broken rotten meat remained, and he was only twenty-two years old when he died......"

The old people who were still clamoring for the military headquarters to return the child's body before. The old face couldn't help but start to tremble, and some people couldn't help but cover their mouths and cry bitterly.

Some of them were families of martyrs, and when they learned of their child's death, government officials simply praised the child's bravery. Say that they are all heroes of the empire. However, no one mentioned the situation of the children before they died, and no one imagined for those children. Such young lives have passed away prematurely before they have had time to feel the beauty of this world, and they must have a lot of unwillingness in their hearts.

On the stage, Xia read out those names word by word, until the last name landed, and he slowly took a step back. He bowed deeply to the families of the fighters: "I'm sorry I couldn't give your children back, but I will take their place and defend this country and the homeland for which they have given their lives." ”

The dignified prince of the empire. A hero-like man, an iron-blooded general who would not even frown his eyebrows in the face of the enemy's artillery fire, bent his waist in front of a group of defenseless and lonely old men at this time.

Who can not be moved by this situation?

For a moment, the audience fell silent.

I don't know who it is, so I took the lead in putting down the camera in my hand, and followed Xia on the stage, facing the families of the soldiers who were crying silently. Bending deeply: "You are all heroes! Great heroes who will always live in our hearts! ”

There was an uproar, and many people put down their things and bowed to the families of those soldiers: "Thank you!" ”

This scene was frozen in the camera, and at the same time appeared on the television sets of people all over the country.

Everyone was deeply shaken.

The people of the Welsh Empire worshipped force and worshipped great strength. Whenever I heard the news of the victory, I would drink and celebrate. But they never paid attention to the lives lost in the war, the unsung heroes who died on the battlefield, and no one knew about their existence except their families.

Even if the government sometimes reports the number of casualties on the battlefield, most of them are just a string of numbers, and their names are not known.

It was the first time they had heard such a real and exact list of deaths, each name so unfamiliar, yet so heavy, that everyone couldn't help but bend down and pay tribute to these unsung heroes.

When Xiao Feng'an saw this scene on TV, he turned his head to look at Jian Ling beside him, and asked seriously, "Mom, what is death?" ”

Jian Ling thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Death is leaving, if a person dies, then that person will leave from you and never come back." ”

"Leave?" Xiao Feng'an was still a little puzzled, "Where will you go after leaving?" ”

"I don't know, maybe I went to another world, a world we don't know."

Xiao Feng'an hugged his head and thought carefully: "The people that Dad said all went to another world after leaving, and they are still together, so they can play together and won't be lonely, right?" ”

Jian Ling glanced at the picture on the TV and nodded seriously: "Well, they won't be alone." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Feng An immediately laughed happily, but he didn't laugh for long, he glanced at Jian Ling cautiously.

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Jian Ling touched his head funny: "What's wrong?" ”

"I miss my dad......"

Jian Ling's gaze paused slightly, and then he smiled: "Well, I miss him a lot, too." ”

"That'...... Let's go find him, shall we? He grabbed Jian Ling's fingers, his wet eyes stared at Jian Ling tightly, and his little face was full of expectation, like a poor cat with folded ears.

Jian Ling couldn't help but pinch his face again: "Okay." ”

"Oh yes! I can finally go to Daddy! Xiao Feng'an jumped to his feet, flipped out the miniature communicator he had carefully kept, and pressed the only button.

With a lifetime prompt tone, the call was smoothly connected.

Xiao Feng'an hugged the communicator and shouted crisply: "Dad, come and pick me up and Mom!" ”
