Chapter 5: Escape
On this day, King Qi was practicing calligraphy in the study in the palace, and he heard his henchmen come in and report, Gao Shizi, who is also the younger brother of the prince of the domain, was attacked by assassins at home and escaped by luck, but the princess who was in the same room with him was not so lucky, and was directly given death by the assassins, not to mention, the blood flowed all over the room, and Gao Shizi was directly frightened and fainted, and he has not woken up yet.
King Qi's pen was sharpened, he waved off his henchmen, quickly changed into court clothes, and then entered the palace.
Although he inherited his father's title and was also on the emperor's list of "anti-thieves" to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, his father was the emperor's younger brother after all, and he still had some concerns about him after all.
He went directly to the palace, but not to persuade the emperor, but to ......
So, when the crown prince was discussing countermeasures with the emperor, he heard the chief eunuch Defu come in and bowed his head with both hands: "Your Majesty, King Qi is here." ”
The emperor's pale face flashed stiffness for a moment, and then he glanced at the prince, and after the two looked at each other, the emperor said coldly: "Help me up, Defu, King Xuanqi." ”
"Yes."
But then, Defu's expression changed, "Your Majesty, King Qi's expression is very strange, his expression is panicked, as if he was frightened!" ”
Defu lowered his head in the next second.
The emperor's expression was even more interesting, "Oh? ”
Defu went out, and it was estimated that it would take a while to come in, and the prince said: "Father, King Qi is afraid because of Gao Shizi's affairs?" ”
"It's possible, but Huang'er, the heart of defense is indispensable, although I am the uncle of King Qi, but I am the emperor, I must take care of the country, do you understand?"
"Erchen understands, his father can rest assured, Erchen will never be merciful."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, at this time, Defu came in with the panicked King Qi, and the blessings had not yet been given, and the emperor's body had not yet straightened up from the bed, so he saw King Qi pounce directly, and his head almost hit the edge of the bed.
The man had a handsome face, but his expression was frightened and fearful.
Before the emperor could ask about the situation, King Qi cried and wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Gu Er is so afraid, Gao Shizi and Gu Er entered Beijing together, and now he is unconscious, and several princes and princes have also encountered accidents one after another, Gu Er is really afraid, Your Majesty, otherwise you can let Gu Er live in the palace, Gu Er is so afraid that their next target is themselves!" Woo-woo-"
King Qi cried and howled, crying so much that the emperor's ears hurt, he glanced at the prince, and then the prince came over, helped King Qi up, and comforted him: "Brother Xiao, you calm down, Gao Shizi's matter is just an accident, now the capital is too chaotic, maybe it is which enemy of Gao Wang's Mansion has a grudge against Gao Shizi and wants revenge, you are kind, you have no enemies, don't worry." ”
The crown prince said what the emperor was going to say, how could they let King Qi move into the palace, and how could they get rid of King Qi.
"Woo woo, brother prince, brother is so scared, the group of soldiers gathered in front of the palace are so fierce, the brother almost can't get out, woo woo-"
When the prince heard this, the smile in his eyes deepened.
That's right, because of the incident of Gao Shizi, the emperor and the crown prince deliberately sent troops to surround everyone's mansion in order to express their apologies, and called it "protection", but who doesn't know the emperor's deep meaning, from the moment they set off in the fiefdom, they knew in their hearts that this trip was estimated to be more auspicious.
In the past few days, many noble children have come to the palace one after another to beg for mercy, or to ask to leave, or to cry to the emperor and call their mother, in short, they do everything they can, with an ugly face.
The prince is getting tired of watching it.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but yearn for the emperor's position even more, sitting on this seat, he really called for wind and rain, and all the people surrendered.
"Brother Gu doesn't need to worry, those soldiers are stationed by Lone celebrities, the princess and His Royal Highness the Prince are delicate and frail, but they can't be frightened, Lone is also kind, so in this way, Lone ordered his entourage to go out with you, so that they can't block the way."
"Thank you, Brother Prince."
King Qi left crying, and the prince was very happy to see it.
"This King Qi really doesn't have the slightest demeanor of his father." The Emperor coughed and roared.
"In this way, it's also good, King Qi can be used by us."
The Emperor glanced at the prince appreciatively, and then lay back.
After King Qi returned to the house, Princess Qi Yu Liman hurriedly took the two-year-old son to the temple, and after a stick of incense, King Qi, who had done enough, left in a hurry from the tunnel dug in the mansion in recent years.
And in the palace of King Qi, it is still majestic and busy.
When the nail who followed Princess Qi came to report, the emperor and the crown prince were furious and hurriedly sent someone to arrest King Qi, but the person was gone.
"Chase me, be sure to catch King Qi back for me!"
Secret orders have been issued one after another, but Princess Qi has already taken her son in disguise and embarked on the opposite path to the pursuers.
She agreed with King Qi that the two would meet somewhere, and then go back to the fiefdom together.
On the carriage on the road, Mama Qiao had red circles under her eyes, and in her arms was Fuhui, who was only six years old.
"Mother, what's wrong with you."
"It's okay, my mother was just blinded by the wind and sand."
When she came out of the palace, she knew that they were fleeing, but her father-in-law was left in the palace.
Until today, she didn't know that her father-in-law was ostensibly a small steward in the palace, but in fact he was the prince's close guard, and all the hidden matters in the capital were managed by him.
Thinking of this, Mama Qiao's tears flowed down her eyes.
She lifted the curtains on the carriage and looked back, seeing only a few carriages and disguised guards.
Because King Qi had made a lot of preparations for the escape before, the journey was smooth sailing and did not encounter any resistance. Night slowly fell, and Princess Qi and her party passed by a small town named Cangfeng.
"Princess Qiqi, it's getting late and it's inconvenient to travel, so my subordinates have come to ask if they want to rest in place for a night and set off tomorrow morning. Leave it to the princess to decide. Chang Hai, the chief of the guard, spoke to the princess.
The princess frowned, lost in thought, and for a moment she hesitated. King Qi specially instructed her not to stop along the way, and rush to Shangyu as soon as possible to meet. But she looked at her young son, who was only two years old after all, and had been fed and fed, and had not suffered much since he was a child. Now that he has been on the road for a day, the prince is obviously a little physically exhausted.
"Pass the order of the concubine and enter the town to rest." After all, the princess is still a woman, and she is reluctant to suffer her young son. Thinking that it is the opposite direction of the chasing army, and there is the protection of the elite guards of the palace, it should be no problem to stay for one night.
After receiving the order of the princess, everyone went into the town to rest.
Find the largest restaurant in the local area, and the group will charter the entire restaurant. The princess took her two-year-old son to live in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, and the personal maid and a few errand mothers-in-law lived in the next room, so that they could serve close at night.
