"Where is the prince now?" Qiao Jingduan looked at Fang Yan and asked, Fang Yan heard the words and arched his hand, "In the study." ”

"Take me there!" Qiao Jingduan instructed Fang Yan, Fang Yan answered, he turned half of his body, made a gesture of please, and walked to the study of Qiao Jingduan and Mu Changhuan and Yuqing Palace.

When he arrived at the door of the study, Fang Yan knocked lightly on the door of the study twice, "Prince, are you there?" ”

But no sound came from the study.

Fang Yan knocked a few more times, but there was still no movement.

Mu Changhuan frowned and said, "Is the prince alone in the study?" ”

Fang Yan looked back, "Yes." ”

Mu Changhuan immediately said, "Knock the door open!" ”

Before Fang Yan could react, on the other side, Qiao Jingduan and Mu Changhuan looked at each other, and they had already raised their feet and kicked towards the door.

The corners of his mouth were tense, his movements were chic and neat, and in a moment, he kicked the door of the study open.

Mu Changhuan nodded at him and walked inside.

The study was a little dim, but Mu Changhuan's eyesight was excellent, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the prince who had fallen to the ground in the Taishi chair.

"Light the lamp and close the door!" She calmly commanded and walked towards the prince.

Qiao Jingduan, who was in the back, heard this, locked the door on the one hand, and motioned to Fang Zhen to light the lamp.

Fang Yan also saw the prince fall to the ground, but he still trembled, and walked to the candlestick, and after a long while, he lit the candle.

At this time, Mu Changhuan had already arrived at the prince's side, she knew where he was injured, and almost as soon as she squatted down in front of him, she took off the clothes on his body.

As he expected, the prince's injuries were indeed terrible.

She took a deep breath, then took out the silver needle from her sleeve and pierced it into the prince's wound without hesitation.

Then it was pulled out quickly.

An extremely thin stream of dark blood suddenly flowed from the place where the silver needle was oppressed.

After bleeding, Mu Changhuan pinched the prince's pulse.

Fang Yan stood behind her, nervously waiting.

And Mu Changhuan's pulse has been for a long time.

When she finally put down her hand, Fang Yan hurriedly asked, "Crown Princess, how about the prince's injury, will it affect his future heirs?" ”

When Mu Changhuan heard this, he put down the prince's hand, slowly stood up, and looked at Fang Yan, "Yes." ”

"Ah......" Fang Yan's face changed, and he screamed, looking at Mu Changhuan in disbelief, "Even you can't save him?" ”

"Yes!" Mu Changhuan nodded, "I can't save him, he won't be a normal person in the future." He will not grow up again, and he will not be able to inherit any more. ”

"This, this ......" Fang Yantie blushed and stepped back, "How can this be, how can this be." ”

Mu Changhuan sighed, turned his gaze, and looked at Qiao Jingduan, "Carry the prince to the inner room, and I will continue to help him with needles." ”

"Well," Qiao Jingduan agreed, he picked up the prince and walked inside.

"Is everything you just said true?" After putting the prince away, Qiao Jingduan looked at the prince's still immature face and asked.

Mu Changhuan heard Qiao Jingduan ask like this, although he couldn't bear it, he still nodded, "It's true, I've never been alarmist, the prince's future situation will only be worse than now." ”

"You, do your best!" Qiao Jingduan looked into her eyes and said.

Mu Changhuan nodded, "I'm going to continue to apply needles to him, you stay outside, no matter who comes, don't let it in." ”

"Good!" Qiao Jingduan took a deep look at him, turned around and walked out.

Outside, after a while, Fang Yan finally eased up, he walked towards Qiao Jingduan and smiled bitterly, "Prince, he is still so young, what should he do in the future?" ”

Qiao Jingduan glanced sideways at his friend, "Sometimes, being able to save your life is already a blessing in misfortune!" ”

"But he's the prince of a country!" Fang Yan shouted with red eyes.

Qiao Jingduan didn't know how to comfort him, he raised his hand and patted Fang Yan lightly on the shoulder.

The two were talking, and suddenly a eunuch's singing harmony came from outside, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

"It's the emperor's ......" Fang Yan's eyes suddenly changed, and he was about to walk out.

Qiao Jingduan thought of Mu Changhuan's advice, grabbed him, and said, "You are guarding here, for the sake of the prince's life, don't let a fly fly in, and the emperor will hand it over to me." ”

"It's good!" Fang Yan thought for a moment and agreed.

On the emperor's side, it is indeed Qiao Jingduan who is better to speak.

Qiao Jingduan said yes to Fang Yan, and walked out with his legs.

Out of the door of the study, as soon as he came down the steps, he bumped into the oncoming emperor.

"Wechen has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" Qiao Jing clenched his fists and respectfully saluted the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Qiao Jingduan coldly, and asked directly, "The prince is in the study?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly." Qiao Jingduan stood up straight and said.

The emperor snorted, and was about to walk inside after passing him.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingduan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please stay." ”

"Huh?" The emperor was stopped, frowned unhappily, and questioned Qiao Jingduan.

Qiao Jingduan met the emperor's displeased gaze, without the slightest intention of retreating, his eyes were firm, and he looked at the emperor and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the prince's body is a little inappropriate, Princess Beijing is in power to treat the prince, if you rush in, I am afraid that it will disturb Princess Beijing." ”

"The prince is not in good health?" The emperor's pupils shrank, "When did it happen, why didn't I know, why didn't the people in the Tai Hospital know?" Princess Beijing, how would she know who allowed her to enter the palace. ”

The emperor's questioning can not be described as sharp, but Qiao Jingduan, as a courtier, can only reply with a hard head, "If you go back to the emperor, the injury on the prince's body was not obvious at first, but he was bitten by mosquitoes, so he didn't take it seriously, and it didn't get serious until today, because the injury was special, he couldn't let too many people know, so he asked his subordinates to invite Princess Beijing over." ”

"So, the prince is close to Commander Qiao to make you better than me? And you got the prince's body inappropriate, and you didn't tell me, but went to the palace of the king of Beijing? ”

What the emperor said was already a bit heart-wrenching.

Qiao Jingduan opened his mouth to explain.

The emperor was no longer patient, he looked at him coldly, and directly scolded, "Get out of the way!" ”

"The emperor ......" Qiao Jingduan wanted to persuade him again, but the emperor didn't want to think about it, and directly interrupted him, "The prince is my flesh and blood, and he is the future prince of the Yun Dynasty, how can he be good to him, I know it in my heart, you get out of the way!" ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for not being able to give in!" Qiao Jingduan insisted, no matter what the emperor said, he just refused to let him come.

The emperor looked at him like this, there were black clouds accumulating in his eyes, and his heart was even filled with a murderous aura.

"Someone!" He commanded the people on the left and right.

The guards on both sides immediately greeted him, hugged their swords and said, "Please give the emperor's orders!" ”

"Take down Commander Joe!" The emperor said coldly.

When the guard heard this, he offended and walked towards Qiao Jingduan.

Qiao Jingduan looked at the guards who came over, his pupils shrank hard, he raised his hand, directly opened the guard's outstretched hand, and pulled out the sword in his hand, took a few steps back, stood on the steps and said, "Today, unless Weichen is here, no one will want to cross this threshold!" ”

"Qiao Jingduan, you, you are too presumptuous!" The emperor is angry.

Qiao Jingduan just bowed his head and said "I'm sorry".

"You work so hard for Princess Beijing, do you think she will definitely be able to save the crown prince?" The emperor stood in place for a moment, he didn't force his way in again, but looked at Qiao Jingduan and spoke.

Qiao Jingduan sensitively sensed the trap in the emperor's words, so naturally he would not accept anything for Mu Changhuan, he just had reservations, "If there is someone in this world who can save the life of the crown prince, then this person must be Princess Beijing." If even Princess Beijing can't keep the crown prince, then no one in this world can keep the prince. ”

"To put it bluntly, even Princess Beijing is not sure," the emperor sneered.

Qiao Jingduan didn't speak, and it took a while before he said, "But with Princess Beijing here, at least the situation won't be too bad......"

As he spoke, a loud noise suddenly came from the study.

It was as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

"Didn't you say there was no one in the house?" The emperor looked at Qiao Jingduan and asked.

When Qiao Jingduan heard this, his face also changed.

The emperor raised his steps again and walked in.

But Qiao Jingduan didn't think about it, stopped him again, and said, "Your Majesty, please stay." ”

"I'm worried about the prince, I want to go in and see him!"

"No!" Qiao Jing said.

The emperor glanced at him coldly, "If I have to go in, will you do it with me?" ”

Qiao Jing held the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand under the arrow sleeve.

Will he? In fact, he himself did not know.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and if he doesn't have to do it as a last resort, he is naturally unwilling to commit the next offense.

The emotion in the emperor's eyes was clear, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer, and he continued to walk forward.

Qiao Jingduan saw that he was getting closer and closer to him, thinking of Mu Changhuan's explanation to himself, he still didn't control himself after all, before his brain made a decision, his hand had already subconsciously waved forward, and suddenly, a lock of the emperor's hair was shaved off.

There were not many locks of hair, but a few, but when those few hairs fell on the emperor's shoulders, the emperor's back was still fiercely cold.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor in disbelief and anger, "Qiao Jingduan, you really dare!" Have you forgotten who promoted you and reused you in the first place, and who gave you a high official? ”

Qiao Jingduan heard the emperor say this, and there was guilt in his eyes flashing, but soon, that guilt turned into firmness, he raised his head, looked at the emperor and said, "You see, Weichen has done everything!" ”

"Humph!" The emperor snorted coldly, he glanced at Qiao Jingduan with the eyes of a dead man, and then said to the guards behind him, "Take the shoulder!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" When the guard heard this, he immediately handed over a sword.

Holding the Imperial Commander Sword in his hand, he weighed it a few times, and then pointed towards Qiao Jingduan, "If I hurt you with this sword, will you fight back?" ”

Qiao Jingduan looked at the tip of the sword pointed by the emperor, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "If the emperor's subordinates show mercy and will not hurt Weichen's life, then Weichen will never fight back!" ”

The emperor was waiting for his words, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and the next moment, he raised his sword and stabbed Qiao Jingduan in the right chest.

The heart is in the left chest, and the right chest is naturally not fatal.

Blood quickly flowed out of Qiao Jingduan's wound.

The emperor did not hesitate, he retracted his shoulder suddenly, and stabbed Qiao Jingduan on his arm and thigh a few times.

Qiao Jingduan is a martial arts student, and he knows that these wounds will not be fatal, from beginning to end, he has never fought back, but just endured it silently.

But as the wounds became more and more serious, and the blood flow became more and more serious, he still couldn't support it in the end, and his lips were white, and he almost relied on the sword in his hand to support him, so he didn't fall down.

Gonggong Liang, who was behind the emperor, had been watching this scene, and at this time, he suddenly stepped forward and persuaded him, "Commander Qiao, why are you bothering, the emperor is just worried about the prince, you just let the emperor in, the emperor has always loved the prince, he will not harm the prince, you say, right?" ”

But Qiao Jingduan didn't look at Liang's father-in-law, just looked at the emperor, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The emperor and Qiao Jingduan looked at each other, and after a long time, he still decided to give Qiao Jingduan another chance, after all, this knife, he used it really easily, as for the injuries just now, even if it was given to him.

"I'm asking you the last sentence, do you want to let or not?" He looked at Qiao Jingduan and asked.

When Qiao Jingduan heard this, he glanced at the emperor deeply, and a touch of firmness condensed on his face, and said, "No! Let! ”

His tone was too resolute.

After hearing this, the emperor's last trace of affection for him also disappeared.

"Someone, take him down!" The emperor gave an expressionless order to the guards behind him.

When the guard heard this, he was about to step forward, but at this moment, the door of the study suddenly opened from the inside.

Then, Mu Changhuan walked out of it, she glanced at the emperor coldly, then ran her eyes into Qiao Jingduan, held his wrist, and said, "Cousin, how are you?" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Jingduan raised his eyelids and smiled at him, "Fortunately, the prince's life has been saved?" ”

"With my cousin here, I naturally saved it, my cousin came in, and I will help you bandage it!" As she spoke, she took Qiao Jingduan and was about to walk inside.

When the emperor saw that there was no him in Mu Changhuan's eyes, he was already furious.

Right now, seeing that the two of them were about to go inside while talking, he finally couldn't restrain the effort in his heart, and raised his voice, "Take down Qiao Jingduan, a rebellious minister and thief who committed rebellion!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards of the Qianyuan Hall were already ready to go, and when they heard the master's order at this moment, they all rushed towards Qiao Jingduan without hesitation.

Mu Changhuan glanced back at the guards who were eyeing him fiercely.

These people, she naturally has no problem dealing with them, but if she does this, it will inevitably delay Qiao Jingduan's healing time.

There is a high probability that his life will be lost.

"Wait!" Suddenly, she raised her hand, looked at the emperor and said, "I don't know what crime my cousin has committed, and how does the emperor plan to punish him?" ”

Although the emperor has a despicable character and is not a thing, he is a bit smart, as soon as he heard Mu Changhuan's tone, he knew what her idea was.

Immediately, he changed the conversation and said, "Qiao commanded the envoy to commit a crime, and if he used force with me, he should be punished with fifty rods." ”

"I'm coming!" Sure enough, the next moment, Mu Changhuan said without hesitation, "I will suffer the fifty canes for my cousin, and I will ask the emperor to allow me to treat my cousin's injuries first." ”

"Are you sure?" When the emperor heard Mu Changhuan say this, there was a smile in his eyes, and he looked at her and asked rhetorically.

"Naturally!" After Mu Changhuan finished speaking, without waiting for the emperor to agree, he helped Qiao Jingduan, whose pupils were already dilated, and walked inside.

Inside, Fang Yan saw Qiao Jingduan being helped in covered in blood, he stepped forward worriedly and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Mu Changhuan glanced at Fang Yan and said unceremoniously, "I've never seen a useless person like you!" ”

Fang Yan was said by Mu Changhuan, remembering his stupid behavior just now, he lowered his head and was embarrassed to speak again.

Mu Changhuan directly took Qiao Jingduan back to the inner room, carefully helped him clean up the wound, and then bandaged it.

After the bandage, she stood up and moved her wrist, then kicked a little eunuch lying on the ground, and said to Fang Fang, "I have handed over the prince and my cousin to you, if you don't look down on them again, you don't need to live anymore." ”

"Yes, what the crown princess said is that this time I will definitely be optimistic about the prince and Jing Duan, and I will never give anyone a chance to get close to them."

Fang Yan hard guarantee.

Mu Changhuan glanced at him, then turned to leave.

It's time for her to get her fine.

Outside, the emperor was still there, and it seemed that he was waiting for her on purpose, wanting to see her being beaten.

"Is it right here?" , Mu Changhuan was dressed in plain clothes, appeared neatly, looked at the emperor and asked.

Her tone was too calm, as if she was asking what she was going to eat for lunch today.

The emperor couldn't help frowning, "The princess seems to be looking forward to being tortured?" ”

When Mu Changhuan heard this, he glanced at the emperor coldly, "If I say I don't want to, will you exempt me from the fifty-rod punishment?" ”

The emperor glanced at her and shook his head seriously, "Naturally not." ”

"Then what else to say, please!"

The emperor smiled and looked at the guards behind him, "Prepare for the cane punishment!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards were ordered to retreat.

It didn't take long for a set of torture equipment to be moved.

"Princess, please!" The guards at the execution site walked up to Mu Changhuan's side and asked him to come to the bench.

Mu Changhuan snorted, and went straight over to lie on the torture bench.

Then, her hands and feet were tied to the stool.

"One!" I only heard a few announcements, and the next moment, a fierce stick fell.

Mu Changhuan frowned slightly, and she closed her eyes.

The cane punishments behind the "second and third ......" fell one after another, and although Mu Changhuan's brows kept frowning, she didn't let out a cry of pain.

The emperor sat down on the Taishi chair on the side, and he was facing Mu Changhuan's face.

Because I couldn't hear her cry of pain, I was a little absent-minded.

Soon, twenty sticks were done.

The expression on the emperor's face became more and more impatient, and suddenly, he looked behind him and made a gesture towards Liang's father-in-law.

Liang Gong Guild realized, and immediately, the position under his feet changed.

At the same time, the executioners became even more ruthless.

Mu Changhuan sensed the ruthlessness of the guards.

A flash of awe flashed in her eyes, Your Majesty, this is what I want her life for!
