Chapter 366: Assassin

Unlike the former crown prince, he was not very well treated by the emperor in the past, but he was an inconspicuous prince.

It's just that when the former prince became the target of the public, he was different from those who fell into the well, and he was keenly aware that his father didn't want these people to look like that, so when the former prince became the target of the public, he stood up.

Even the rehashing of old things in the imperial court several times a few years, or even a few times a year, is also a matter of reason for him.

Even if he has his own ideas in it, but more, it is not a means.

In order to take the sword sideways, it can enter the emperor's blue eyes.

And it turned out to be true.

Every time he is concerned about the affairs of the former prince, he has always been stereotyped, and he always only talks about family affection, whether it is right or wrong.

Of course, in the early stage, whether it was the emperor or the courtiers, he still suffered a lot.

For example, the current punishment of the king of Zhongshun is Lu, what has he thought about behind closed doors.

Those years were simply commonplace, and not only that, after everyone sneered at him in the early stage, the emperor didn't know which opportunity, and suddenly he was unrivaled in favor.

Rights, rewards, everything.

Most importantly, it gave him countless opportunities to punish those who laughed at him in the first place, and gave him the opportunity to eliminate his opponents.

And in the end......

With his eyes narrowing slightly, the prince asked Jia Lian to rest in the carriage, and arranged for Yin Haoxing'er to be in another carriage, and then stopped in place, and personally led people to ride lightly to Ping'an Zhou first.

The crown prince, the reason why he was able to enter the emperor's blue eyes from among many princes in the first place was because the emperor was reassured of him.

Be kind and serious to the people, close and tolerant of the hands and feet.

Riding on a horse, letting the wind hit his face fiercely, the prince's mood was extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he was worried about the emperor's health, but on the other hand, he was excited because of the opponent's retarded mind.

Excited.

He really knew the character of the emperor too well, and as their father, he was full of expectations even if he treated every prince.

But if he thinks he is smart, he is the most despised.

Compared with him, King Zhongshun is much stronger in terms of both his mother family and his connections.

He has been in obscurity for so many years, to put it bluntly, in fact, what he is waiting for is not such a day.

Wait for the day when King Zhongshun himself can't bear to make a move, because only in this way can he get rid of this opponent he has been holding on to once and for all.

The biological mother of King Zhongshun said that it was a cheap slave in Xinzhiku, but when Jia Yuanchun first entered the palace, why wasn't it?

What does this mean?

It's just the emperor's unscrupulous scolding, but if the forces behind the loyal king don't want to eradicate it, even if he ascends the throne in the future, the throne will not be stable.

So the excitement is that King Zhongshun dug his own grave this time, which is really a rare opportunity for him.

After a day and a night of hurrying, Jia Lian felt that his butt had become eight petals, and this feeling was too long.

It was as hard as when I was in Jinghai, in order to select a site and supervise, I was basically on horseback every day at that time, but no matter how busy I was at that time, I also had time to rest.

But now running non-stop day and night, this is not only physically uncomfortable, but also the brain is dizzy.

It's just that the prince Luan drove, even if he had an order, where did he dare to really rest here, so he reluctantly found Yin Hao and Xing'er's carriage, the three of them barely got together, Jia Lian was lying on the seat, Xing'er Yin Hao who was on the ground, almost closed his eyes and snored.

And the situation in the capital, which caused all this, is now very urgent.

"Lord Steward, this morning, I see that my father's face is not very good, I want to go and see, please come back."

In the queen's bedroom, Zhongshun Wang Pi looked at Dai Quan who was guarding the door with a smile, and spoke slowly.

Taoguang Yanghui these days, he has already figured it out.

The words that the emperor said before can be regarded as having completely cut off his path to the throne. But after so many years of operation, it is obviously impossible for him to give up that position at once.

And the emperor's body ......

His eyes flashed, and King Zhongshun looked at the back of Dai Quan as he went in to make a statement.

The head of the hospital is the emperor's imperial physician, and unless the emperor orders it, he will not treat others on weekdays, even if it is a prince, it is difficult to see it.

It's just that King Zhongshun knows that this old man's family has recently added a grandson.

Although smallpox is a fierce thing, in fact, adults will not easily get it unless they are infected by someone.

The emperor ......

Bowing his head, the King of Loyalty looked at his hands.

The old man at the head of the courtyard recently added a grandson to his family, and he was very comfortable with his grandson every day.

It's just that the child and his biological mother went to the temple outside, and inadvertently fell into the strange poison of the Western Regions.

Coincidentally, King Chungshun happened to have this poisonous poison in his hands.

And not only that, King Zhongshun also has an old woman in his hand, and this old woman was the personal palace maid of the deceased queen.

It is rumored that the former queen gave birth to Prince Lao Yizhong and died in childbirth, and many people in the harem were buried with him after his death, and this old woman was one of them.

And the head of the hospital is the person who treated the queen back then.

The combination of the two, the head of the courtyard had a handle in the hands of the king of Zhongshun, so the emperor got smallpox.

The eyes seemed to see through the palace gate, as if he saw the emperor inside dying and breathing.

The cruelty in the eyes of the King of Zhongshun flashed.

Those who become kings and losers, and those who become big things, are not informal.

In the palace, Dai Quan hurriedly walked inside, turning back from time to time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Lord Lin, how is it good, the prince is here for the third time today, although this person has a similar face, he really can't stand up to scrutiny."

Entering the room, he lowered his voice and spoke to the person in front of the bed, and the urgency on Dai Quan's face was obvious.

This emperor is not the other emperor.

The real emperor has smallpox and is now feverish, and the temperature is so high that I don't know who is it, and now this person is explained by the emperor before he faints, and he must hold on until the prince returns to Beijing.

In front of the bed, the queen wiped her tears while holding the emperor's hand, Lin Ruhai and a man dressed as the emperor stood straight, but the look on his face was really not good-looking.

The emperor urgently summoned Lin Ruhai into the palace yesterday, and it didn't take long for him to explain clearly, and now although it is the emperor's arrangement step by step, it is really difficult for the king of Zhongshun to deal with it here.

This is also the reason why the city was turned upside down by the loyal king.

Now it is not the real emperor who sits upright, so his words and deeds are constrained, and he does not dare to give orders and make decisions easily.

Of course, Lin Ruhai understands the consequences of this, but in the final analysis, he is just a minister, and if many things are done at this time, it will be a pass, and he will fight against the king of Zhongshun, and strive to get out of the city, so he secretly arranged for Jia Yu to go out of the city to bring a letter to Jia Lian.

The reason why Jia Lian was chosen was because of Lin Ruhai's trust in Jia Lian, and secondly, because he believed in Jia Lian's ability.

After all, he could think of sending Jia Lian to secretly report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the King of Zhongshun would definitely try to prevent this from happening, and even directly draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, and it would be possible to make a move against the prince.

So the top priority now is, first, not to let the news that the emperor has fallen unconscious, and second, to stabilize the loyal and obedient king, so that he does not dare to act rashly.

And although the king of Zhongshun outside behaved boldly, it was not actually a temptation.

Although through the mouth of the old man at the head of the courtyard, he knew that the gift he gave to his dear father had begun to work.

But now the "emperor" is there every day, although he looks like he is not in good health, but as long as the emperor does not die for a day, he will not dare to act rashly for a day.

Even if you want to do something, you have to have a perfect arrangement.

So now while the two sides are testing each other, they are also sticking to their own territory and not daring to act rashly, because they are afraid that the other party will find their flaws and strike a fatal blow.

After all, whether it is King Zhongshun or Lin Ruhai, the current actions of the two of them are unsightly.

"I'll go, I'm the current queen, what this palace says, I see if he dares to resist the decree!"

Wiping her tears, the queen got up violently.

If you want to say that the person in this palace who doesn't want the emperor to die is her.

After all, when the emperor was there, she was the queen, the lord of a palace, and the mother of a country.

But if the emperor is dead, then she is the queen mother, she has no children under her knees, and her only daughter is married, no one in the palace supports her at that time, the emperor is not her own son, how can there be such a day now.

Therefore, in the empress's opinion, the longer the emperor lives, the better, so that whether it is her or their daughter, the longer they will be blessed.

"Weichen also thinks that it is better for the queen mother to come forward, after all, he doesn't dare to act rashly now, and the queen mother is heavier."

Although she is not a biological mother, her status as the mother of a country is there.

Even if the king wants to do something, he must take into account the good people in this world.

Opinions reached a consensus, the queen called the palace maid to redress and change her clothes, and carefully covered the dark circles under her eyes with powder in the mirror, and the queen looked at the bronze mirror.

The person in the mirror is now in his fifties, but after dressing up like this, he seems to be ten years younger, charming and domineering, solemn and stern.

And not only that, the whole person is not only clothing but also temperament, which has changed over the mountains and mountains.

At the door of the main hall, King Zhongshun was not in a hurry, he still stood quietly under the door, looking at the gate fixedly.

For the sake of big things, he endured it.

A "squeak" sounded and pulled King Zhongshun's thoughts back, and two rows of palace maids came out first, followed by a slightly gorgeous figure, and the queen with a camel red face came out.

"The son has seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is a thousand years old."

......

......

Outside the boundary of Ping'an Zhou, Jia Lian and the others woke up when the stars were already hanging in the sky, although it was rare to have a good sleep, but Jia Lian felt that his back was sore now, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

"Hiss, pain, pain, pain, pain."

When he got up, it was too violent, and he accidentally pulled it between the thighs, and Jia Lian felt that his ass was split into eight pieces in an instant.

After a long period of hurrying, the saddle has worn out the roots of his two thighs, coupled with the increase in exercise in a short period of time, and the blessing of muscle soreness all over the body, making the buttocks even more painful as if they had been pricked with needles.

Looking around, Jia Lian opened the curtain, and it was already dark outside.

"Adults are awake, do you want to eat?"

The guard at the door heard the noise and hurriedly asked.

Originally, I didn't think that when I heard about eating, the stomachs of the three people immediately made a gurgling sound.

Along the way, for convenience, they all ate dry food, not that it was too unpalatable, but it was too monotonous. And in order to reduce the drinking water, it is still bland, but there is no taste in the back mouth, and I am really hungry.

So even though they were really uncomfortable, under the call of eating, the three of them still got out of the carriage.

When the prince left before, because it was expected to take long, after all, it was only a few miles away from Ping'an Island at this time, so he just ordered to wait on the spot, and did not set up camp.

In order to solve the problem of eating, a simple stove was built on the spot.

But don't underestimate this simple stove, although the stove is improvised, but the cook brought it from the palace.

So thanks to the blessing of the prince, Jia Lian finally ate a bite of hot food after so many days.

The seasonal vegetables and meat that I brought with me, and slowly a big bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge were fragrant and hot, and the stomach that was originally cold and hard immediately felt extremely comfortable after taking a bite.

While eating and drinking, I looked around casually, but fortunately, it was a clear sky, and the sky was full of moons, and although the moonlight was unclear, the stars were very bright.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can say when he will come back?"

Gathering the clothes on his body, Jia Lian spoke to the people who were waiting.

He has already conveyed the words that should be conveyed, and in Jia Lian's opinion, in fact, the top priority now is to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

The matter of soldiers and horses can ask the prince to give a token or something, and Jia Lian will convey it.

After all, the reason why King Zhongshun is so bold and reckless now is that the crown prince is not in the capital.

At that time, as long as the emperor breathes a sigh, according to his current control of the situation, it will be easy to fabricate a false holy decree or something.

But if the crown prince returns to the palace before the emperor breathes, the plan of the loyal king will not succeed.

After all, the crown prince is more convincing than he is.

Even if he wanted to do something at that time, it was easier to face.

Later, Jia Lian followed and brought the army to him, and he should be loyal to the king, no matter how great his ability is, in front of the king of a country, even if those people really want to rebel, they have to weigh it.

At least in Jia Lian's opinion, although those families do want to have a dragon merit, they may not be willing to rebel against such a risky business.

After all, if they are not 100% sure, as long as there is a little error, they will have an abyss in front of them.

Compared with the fact that he will continue to fight wits and courage with the new emperor, the destruction of the family is much more serious.

It's just that now the prince can't see anyone, and it's useless to say more.

Slowly going through everything, Jia Lian was about to get up when he was full of wine and food, when he suddenly heard a "sigh", and then someone shouted.

"There are assassins!"

The nerves tightened violently, Jia Lian immediately looked at the source of the sound on guard when he heard this, the large army not far away was already in chaos, and the prince Luan in the middle seemed to have turned into a hedgehog, which was already full of holes, and it was full of shaking arrow tails.

"Hide!"

didn't have time to think about it, Jia Lian stopped Yin Hao, who wanted to pull forward, and pulled the two of them towards the shadows.

Now the three of them are no different from wasters, and it will be a disadvantage to go.
