Chapter 222: Rewarding the Prince

"! Forgive the slaves! Woooooo The slave maid had been dragged out and was still crying, Concubine Yang flicked her sleeves angrily, and then turned her head and didn't want to pay attention to the palace maid's deathly cry.

Naturally, the personal palace maid helped Concubine Yang do so many unsightly things, and Concubine Yang categorically would not let her live so well in the world.

At this time, her other personal palace maid looked at Concubine Yang's swollen face and looked very infiltrating, stepped forward, and then knelt down and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, your face is so badly injured, do you want me to find a doctor for you!?" ”

Concubine Yang glanced at the palace maid, and sure enough, she also saw a frightened look in her eyes, but she thought of the emperor, in case she went out and accidentally spread the news, let the emperor know that it would not be good.

Concubine Yang thought about it, but she couldn't help but find the imperial doctor, after all, only the imperial doctor in this palace had the best medical skills.

"Go and secretly call the Imperial Physician! Remember, don't tell anyone that I'm looking for him! Concubine Yang glared at the palace maid angrily, and the palace maid immediately lowered her head and quickly withdrew from the hall.

These days, the emperor's health has gradually improved, and when he heard the news of Tuoba Heng's return to the palace, he immediately summoned Tuoba Hengjin to face the saint.

On this day, the emperor was correcting and correcting in the imperial study, and Tuoba Heng walked into the imperial study in an indigo flag suit.

"The son asks his father to say goodbye, long live his father, long live long live!" Tuoba Heng obediently knelt on the ground to greet the emperor.

The emperor glanced at his third son, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Heng'er, you're back!" The emperor asked.

Tuoba Heng nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

The emperor then smiled again, and then stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to give them a seat.

"A few days ago, I heard that the imperial doctor said that you had returned to the court, and that you came to see me, but I was really uncomfortable in those days, so I didn't summon you." The emperor looked at the fold in his hand, and then said.

Tuoba Heng sat on a log chair and nodded respectfully and smiled.

"What is my father talking about, Heng'er doesn't dare to blame my father."

Hearing Tuoba Heng's obedient reply, the emperor was quite satisfied, and said in his heart that although his own mother and concubine had gone to the nunnery to become a nun, Tuoba Heng was not less educated, and his words were quite listening.

"Well, I called you into the palace this time, just to reward you, originally I have been a headache for the mountain bandits in these two places, one is a thief who robbed the official silver, and the other is a group that robbed my iron mine, it is really infuriating!" The emperor said, a faint sorrow appeared between his eyebrows, and then stretched out his hand and patted the table, his eyes seemed to remember that time when he received a long time, saying that the mountain bandits were rampant, and the government was incompetent and could not manage things.

Tuoba Heng smiled, and suddenly he thought of the prince and the seventh prince he had met the day before yesterday, so Tuoba Heng replied: "The emperor is really polite, originally the son was also entrusted by the prince, it is said that the bandits in these two places are really serious, the prince also told the son if there is a chance, let me go and try to suppress the bandits, not only that, the prince also often competes with the son of the minister, and then said that the son of the son is very powerful, if you don't go to suppress the bandits, it will be a loss." ”

When the emperor heard this, his slightly wrinkled eyes widened, and then he looked at Tuoba Heng with a look of surprise and asked, "Then in your words, the credit for this bandit is not all on you alone!?" ”

Tuoba Heng immediately replied: "Exactly, the ministers didn't want to participate, but I thought that the prince often taught his son that the suppression of bandits was the foundation of the people. Originally, if I didn't take this matter, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely take it, but Erchen has not tried to kill the enemy well, so he wants to lead the troops to try to suppress the bandits. I never thought that the suppression of bandits would be so smooth, presumably if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince replaced his sons, he would definitely be so good. ”

Tuoba Heng didn't want to invite credit at all, it was better to give this kind of brilliant thing to the prince.

The emperor immediately stroked his beard quite meaningfully, and then squinted slightly to think about something, and soon, he opened his eyes and said: "This matter is indeed meritorious to the prince, if he doesn't help me teach you behind his back, maybe you won't be so smooth and maybe." ”

Tuoba Heng nodded in acquiescence.

"Spread my will, write a letter to reward the prince for helping the third prince to suppress bandits, and warn the people of the capital, and ask the Internal Affairs Office to prepare 1,000 taels of silver and send it to the prince's mansion as a reward." The emperor immediately instructed the father-in-law who was close to him.

The father-in-law immediately answered yes, and then immediately dispersed.

Tuoba Heng immediately knelt on the ground, and then there was an imperceptible smile on the emperor's face.

Soon, the news of the prince's reward immediately spread throughout the palace and outside the palace.

The civil and military officials also praised His Royal Highness the prince a lot when they knew the news, and they all praised the prince for being a modest and cautious person, who actually helped the three princes to suppress the bandits behind his back without saying a word, and then won many victories, solved the big trouble for the court and the people, and suddenly the prince's reputation spread in the palace.

The Great Prince's Mansion, the Great Prince heard that Tuoba Heng was going to enter the palace to meet the emperor today, originally his imitation of the emperor's edict had not been recovered, he was very anxious, even sitting on the chair, his hands and feet were trembling, he used to be too underestimated Tuoba Heng, and gave his kid a loophole, and now when he thinks of what he did, he can only pray to God to ensure that he has no worries.

His face was calm, but he was anxious in private, almost on fire, I really don't know if the emperor's edict to call him into the palace comes first, or his spies come back first!?

The eldest prince was anxious, thinking that the killers he was looking for had not been solved one by one, and if he was found to have had more contact with them before, then it would be a direct testimony to prove that he deliberately found these people to assassinate Tuoba Heng, but it was evidence that Tuoba Heng failed to succeed.

The eldest prince stood up anxiously at this point, he had just opened the door and wanted to go out and find someone to kill the assassins for the crime of causing trouble to the people, but the spies he sent to the palace suddenly broke in, and the two of them could not help but bump into each other at once.

The eldest prince was startled, his eyes focused slightly, and then he saw that it was the spy he sent to the palace to spy on the news.

"The Great Prince!" The spy screamed, and bowed down.

"Hurry up! Hurry up and say something! The prince let the door open, and went into the house with the spies, and then closed the door to the inner chamber again.

The spy looked straight at the eldest prince, and then looked at it for a long time with some scrutiny, and then said: "Congratulations to the eldest prince, Tuoba Heng didn't take that matter to heart, his subordinates just heard that the emperor wanted to reward the prince for helping the third highness to suppress bandits, and said that he was a meritorious hero, and he should be praised well, and he didn't say anything else." There are no fakes either... Uh, that's it. ”

The eldest prince's fist was suddenly clenched, and then a smile of excitement appeared on his face, and then he asked, "What did you say!?" You mean! The prince has made a great contribution to the suppression of bandits!? ”

"Yes, Lord Wang." The spy replied.

The eldest prince learned that he was not reported by Tuoba Heng, but on the contrary, he also praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Then have you seen the emperor and what he looks like now!? Aren't you angry!? Prince Shuo was still not sure if he had been secretly reported by Tuoba Heng, he still wanted to confirm through his father's expression whether the matter was as simple as he had passed it on.

The spy immediately said: "The emperor is very happy, I heard that it is because he learned that the crown prince has helped His Royal Highness, which makes the emperor very happy!" also praised the prince in the palace for a while. ”

Suddenly, the eldest prince stood in place and was silent, this prince is really underestimated! I didn't make a noise in the palace all day, but I didn't expect that it was a person who was already a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound, and he actually secretly helped Tuoba Heng to suppress the bandits behind his back, which was really indispensable!

It seems that those people don't need to be killed for the time being, he has to take a good look at the situation in the DPRK and China in the past few days.

"You go and pass the word to the killers who were sent to assassinate Tuoba Heng before, if any of them dare to confess what happened before, then they can only assassinate their entire family." The eldest prince said with a cold face.

"Yes, lord." The spy looked down and replied, then quickly retreated.

The Seven Princes' Mansion, the Seven Princes were playing a game in the garden of his mansion with a beautiful concubine he had just obtained in the suburbs of Beijing, he blindfolded himself with a red cloth, and the woman was hiding around him, asking him to arrest her.

"Your Highness, here!" The girl's coquettish laughter came into the ears of the Seventh Prince, and the thin lips of the Seventh Prince leaked a sweet smile, and he quickly went away after looking for the voice.

The beautiful concubine dodged away, and suddenly a laughing voice came out of the garden, because in addition to the beautiful concubine, there was also a young lady of the Jiang family present, and this person was the concubine appointed by the Seven Princes, but she had not passed the door at this time.

At this time, the spies of the Seven Princes happened to have just returned from the palace, because they got the news that the prince had received the emperor's commendation and received the reward, and the matter must be reported to the Seven Princes immediately, so he quickly came to the location of the palace garden.

"Don't hide! Master, I'm here to catch you! The delicate male voice of the Seventh Prince came, and the two women quickly dodged away, making a burst of laughter.

Suddenly, the Seventh Prince bumped into a person's body, and he felt that it was still hard, and he suddenly ripped off the blindfold on his face in anger.

At first glance, it turned out to be his own spy.

Suddenly, the elegance of his game with the women was lost a lot by this collision, and he pulled the red cloth around his neck a little angrily and went out.

"Your Highness!" The spy immediately knelt down and asked for instructions.
