Lord Wang, you won, don't worry, the minister won't ruin your plan. As soon as the words came out, Imperial Physician Zhang seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and his back was stiffened.

"Imperial Physician Zhang is really sensible, come and send Imperial Physician Zhang back to the palace." The corners of the Nine Princes' mouths hooked up a satisfied smile.

The entourage who was guarding outside came in and helped Imperial Doctor Zhang out.

Just when Imperial Physician Zhang was about to step out of the threshold, he suddenly stopped and turned around suddenly, "Lao Chen originally thought that although the prince loved to travel in the mountains and rivers, he still kept Dongxuan in his heart. Now it seems that the old minister was wrong. Persecuting others in order to escape from the battlefield, coward! ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang took a sip fiercely, and then left without looking back.

When the subordinates heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt on one knee, "Lord Wang, do you need subordinates to ......?"

"Not necessarily." The Ninth Prince raised his hand to interrupt his words, looking at the direction where Imperial Doctor Zhang was going, his expression was dark and uncertain, "He is right, this king is indeed a coward." But there are some things that this king doesn't do, and there really is no one to do it. ”

The subordinate seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he did not ask.

After leaving the palace, Imperial Physician Zhang was invited into the palace by the emperor.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, can the Ninth Prince's illness be serious?" The emperor looked at Imperial Physician Zhang, who was kneeling below, and his tone implied oppression.

Because Imperial Doctor Zhang had just been beaten by the Nine Princes, he didn't dare to joke about his grandson, so when he heard this, he said, "Back to Your Majesty, the Nine Princes have infected their lungs due to the wind and cold, and I am afraid that they will have to recuperate for a while." ”

These words were consistent with what the people of the Nine Princes said before, and the emperor bowed his head slightly, waving his hand to make people retreat.

He didn't have any doubts about Imperial Doctor Zhang's words. The other party has been in the hospital for many years, and he has always been upright, and his words are ugly, like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. So after so many years, he had already become a doctor with his medical skills, but unfortunately he didn't know how to be flexible and offended many people, so that he was about to return to his hometown, and it was still a position that was neither high nor low.

After Imperial Physician Zhang retreated, the emperor immediately summoned the generals and ordered troops to go on the expedition. He selected a person from among the people recommended by the previous commander of the king, appointed him as the commander-in-chief of this expedition, and gave him the position of general. and promised him that as long as he could make Chengguo withdraw from the army, when he returned, he would definitely be promoted to a knighthood.

Because he was not a person he cultivated, the emperor did not trust him, although he gave him the right to command the three armies, but secretly sent his own henchmen over.

In the dead of night, the imperial study was brightly lit, and henchmen knelt on one knee, waiting for the emperor's will.

"On this expedition, I will appoint you as the deputy general, you don't have to fight in person, you just need to supervise General Zuo, once he has any abnormal moves, he will be killed." General Zuo is the new general this time, and the emperor's eyes are flickering with cold light under the lamplight, which is quite weird.

The henchman is not surprised by this, he is the person who the emperor secretly placed in the court, and he has always been neutral in the court, so for so long, there is no one who knows that he is the emperor.

In private, he also did a lot of things for the emperor, and now he is just supervising a new general, which is really a small amount compared to the previous dangerous things.

So the henchman did not hesitate and said yes.

Looking at his henchmen kneeling at his feet, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he got up and walked to the side of a painting and calligraphy, and his bony hand gently lifted the scroll, revealing the dark compartment inside, and a delicate box was placed in it.

The Emperor pulled another key out of his pocket, and with a click, the lock on the box was opened.

This series of actions is not without trouble, and the henchmen have a vague feeling in their hearts that the things in this box must not be simple.

Sure enough, the emperor took out a delicate small porcelain vase from the box and handed it to him, "Here is the lost soul, which can make people obey your orders for a period of time, if you find that the other party is wrong, find a way to give him this medicine to eat, and then let him throw himself into the net when the two armies are fighting, when the time comes, no one will think of the real cause of his death." ”

This is the medicine he used for the emperor before, and he originally thought that he might not use it in his life, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would see the light of day again.

Hearing the effect of this medicine, his henchman's eyes widened in surprise, it was the first time he had heard of this medicine. However, he also knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he quickly restrained the look on his face, "Subordinates take orders." ”

The Emperor handed the porcelain vase into his hand and patted him on the shoulder meaningfully, "Don't let me down. ”

The next day, 30,000 elite soldiers gathered at the gate of the city, and all the soldiers straightened their backs, carrying the fate of Dongxuan's entire country and rushed to the battlefield. The silver armor reflected the cold light in the sun, General Zuo stood at the forefront, the red tassel gun pointed straight at the sky, he stepped forward and saluted the emperor.

"On this expedition, the general represents me, and I hope to cherish it." The emperor was dressed in a yellow robe and wore a golden crown on his head, and the jade algae on the crown obscured his cold vision.

General Zuo didn't seem to notice the emperor's meaning, turned around after kowtowing, and said loudly, "Everyone, I know that you all have parents, wives and children, and your family hopes that you can be safe and sound. However, you are all Dongxuan's sons, look around, can you bear to let the iron hooves of Chengguo step into our land, and bear to be humiliated by your relatives?! ”

"I can't bear it!" I don't know who opened the mouth, and then one after another the sound sounded, and the river merged into the sea.

General Zuo raised his arms and shouted, "Since we can't bear it, then we will desperately drive Chengguo out, even if one day we will be shrouded in horse leather, even if one day there will be no bones, we are not afraid, God bless me Dongxuan!" ”

"We're not afraid! God bless Dongxuan! ”

Countless voices came out at the same time, resounding in the sky.

At this moment, these soldiers are the most solid backbone of Dongxuan, supporting a pure land for the people.

The gates of the city gradually opened, and the army lined up in a firm march to the battlefield of their conquest.

The movement of the daytime expedition was very large, and the people praised the emperor repeatedly, thinking that he was a rare Ming army.

But after hearing this, the Ninth Prince only smiled mockingly, and then sped up his secret movements.

It was night, the moon had climbed up the treetops, and a bird was standing on a branch and combing its feathers. After Xie Yutang confirmed that Chi Wan was asleep, he whistled softly out of the window. The bird heard the whistle, flapped its wings, flew in through the window, and stopped on the back of Xie Yutang's hand.

Xie Yutang took out the secret letter from the bamboo tube on the bird's feet, carefully lit the fire, and looked at it at a glance. The emperor's recent actions are written in great detail, and even his confidants are included as deputy generals.

After reading the last word, Xie Yutang lit the secret letter, and it was not until the secret letter was completely burned out that he blew out the fire.

Sure enough, the crown prince is still the prince, even if he becomes the emperor, he can't change the character in his bones, and at this time, he is still so cautious and cautious.

It's just that no matter how cautious he is, this time, he will definitely plant a big heel.

Xie Yutang slowly closed his eyes, covering the undercarriage of his eyes.

At this time, a suppressed wheezing sound came, it was Chi Wan, since a few days ago, her body has been starting to feel uncomfortable, although she tried to restrain herself from being discovered by Xie Yutang, but after all, the two were in the same cell, and there were some things that could not be hidden.

"How are you?" Xie Yutang looked at Chi Wan worriedly, and reached out to pat her on the back. At the same time, the ashes burned out of the secret letter were quietly rubbed under his feet, and the dirt in the prison, the ashes and the original dust were mixed together, and soon lost their traces.

Chi Wan covered her mouth and tried to endure it, but the cough still came out of her fingers, tearing Xie Yutang's heart one by one.

"Wanwan, don't put up with it." Xie Yutang frowned anxiously.

Chi Wan coughed with tears in her eyes, but shook her head.

She didn't want to show weakness in front of people, especially Xie Yutang. Since knowing that Xie Yutang might defect to the enemy country, the relationship between the two has not been embarrassing. With Chi Wan's temperament, she couldn't face Xie Yutang calmly, and now she was even more resistant in the face of the other party's concern.

Looking at such an uncomfortable Chi Wan, Xie Yutang couldn't care so much, hugged Chi Wan in his arms, pressed her head on his shoulder, and patted it again and again, "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, hold on a little longer, okay?" ”

The warm embrace made Chi Wan's heart settle down suddenly, she was a little reluctant to push away this warmth, and after a while, she closed her eyes tiredly and nodded almost invisibly.

However, that night, Chi Wan launched a high fever, her whole body was burning red, her eyes were blank, her thin face had long lost its previous ruddy and luster, her thin body was like a piece of paper, without a trace of weight, and the whole person exuded a lifeless dead air.

Xie Yutang suddenly felt a sense of shock for no reason, trembling and raised his hand to touch her neck, it was warm, and put his hand under her nose, the slightly itchy touch made him breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no worry about his life.

Chi Wan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him stunned for a long time before she asked softly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Ahem, it's okay, okay with the medicine?" Xie Yutang felt that he must have been stupid for what he had just done, so he coughed awkwardly and tried to change the topic.

Knowing that he was stubborn, this body would be unbearable sooner or later, but Chi Wan no longer resisted, and took medicine with Xie Yutang's hand. was constantly patted on the back by the other party, followed by a wave of sleepiness, Chi Wan closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

But she slept comfortably, Xie Yutang was not so comfortable, he didn't sleep all night, he kept holding Chi Wan, and every once in a while, he touched her forehead.
