Tang Ao looked at the soldier holding the bark in his hand, looked at Li Hong who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and listened to Qin Feng's might, and suddenly found that his body was shaking involuntarily, and there seemed to be a trace of heat flowing in his blood.

Tang Ao looked at Li Hong with a little different gaze, Li Hong, as the crown prince, the heir of the Tang Empire, and the future emperor, can eat bark and grass roots with the soldiers, and taste the suffering of the people, which must be the blessing of the world and the luck of the people.

Li Hong temporarily sent an errand to Tang Ao, Tang Ao did not resist in the slightest, returned to the imperial city to convey Li Hong's message, and saw that hundreds of carts of grain were transported out of the city, so he returned to the palace to resume his life.

Tang Ao came to the East Palace and found that Li Hong was writing hard, standing aside and waiting for Li Hong to put the pen before telling the situation again.

Li Hong nodded approvingly: "In the past, Wang Bo, the cultivator under King Pei, I have seen it a few times in this palace, and his poetry is really good, but he is arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, and it is not as profitable as you to do things, you are not a long-term plan to follow the king of England, you have to study more, and winning fame in the future is the right way to advance." ”

Li Hong didn't wait for Tang Ao to reply, and handed the things that were written to Tang Ao: "Take a look at the palace, is there anything wrong with it?" ”

Tang Ao took it and saw that Li Hong had written a piece of music, suggesting that the land of the royal sand garden should be lent to the poor people for farming, and the annual land rent collected would be used for the soldiers who guarded the capital.

"Your Highness will definitely be a good emperor in the future." Tang Ao said sincerely: "Emperor Qin and Han Wu, the ancestor Taizong of this dynasty, are all Ming monarchs, but I have never heard that they can eat tree bark and grass seeds, and they are not as good as His Royal Highness if they are sympathetic to the people." ”

Li Hong smiled: "You! It's not an honest person, the sycophants come to your mouth, you know it's inappropriate, but you still let the palace be willing to listen, no wonder the King of England and Taiping like to get along with you. ”

Li Hong's words were obviously saying that Tang Ao had to pat the horse, and Tang Ao hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness's words make the grass people panic......

"I'm not blaming you." Li Hong coughed after speaking, and coughed one after another, and had to cover his mouth and nose.

Finally stopped coughing, took off the sleeves of his robe, and saw that the sleeves of his shirt were red, and Li Hong actually vomited blood.

Tang Ao was taken aback, his face turned pale in an instant, Li Hong's vomiting of blood was not the point, and he couldn't scare Tang Ao, what really made Tang Ao change color was that from the blood that Li Hong vomited, Tang Ao smelled a breath of poison.

Thanks to Xuyan, Tang Ao is very sensitive to all kinds of medicinal materials, including poison, Li Hong was actually poisoned, and it was ********, who was bold enough to poison the prince of the dynasty? Not afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans?

Li Hong wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, saw Tang Ao with a frightened face, waved his hand and said, "It's an old problem, don't talk nonsense everywhere." ”

Tang Ao had already reached the words on his lips, and immediately swallowed them back, Li Hong said easily, but the meaning of the words was very clear, and he didn't want the third person to know about vomiting blood.

The prince was not in good health, to the extent of vomiting blood, this is not a trivial matter, especially the reason for vomiting blood was poisoning, Tang Ao suddenly regretted entering the palace today.

Tang Ao's head was in a mess, Di Renjie's words were still in his ears, but he didn't expect him to witness it today, someone poisoned Li Hong, the only possibility is the power struggle, the water in it is a bit deep, do you want to tell Li Hong?

"It's getting late, the palace gate is locked, let's go with the palace!" Li Hong got up and walked outside.

Tang Ao was still hesitating and couldn't make a choice, he followed behind Li Hong in a daze, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Hong suddenly stopped, fortunately Tang Ao reacted quickly, otherwise he would have crashed into Li Hong.

"Tang Ao, listen, is there any sound?" Li Hong listened attentively and said with a frown.

Tang Ao's ear strength was superhuman, and he did hear a burst of singing, and pointed to the left and said, "Your Highness, it seems to be coming from over there." ”

Li Hong looked in the direction of Tang Ao's finger and said to himself, "Is there still anyone living there?" How can there be a sound? ”

Tang Ao followed Li Hong and continued to move forward, and through the moonlight, he could see all the way, artemisia grass everywhere, and there was such a place in the palace, which really surprised Tang Ao, is this the legendary cold palace?

A wall blocked Tang Ao and Li Hong's way, and there was a hole in the corner of the wall that could only allow dogs to drill through, and the song came from here, which was already very clear.

The more Li Hong listened, the more familiar the singing became, as if it evoked childhood memories, and reached out and touched the wall: "How can I go in and have a look?" Who is singing in it? ”

Tang Ao was also very curious, stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall, and said, "Your Highness stand farther away, let me try." ”

Tang Ao waited for Li Hong to retreat about ten steps, grabbed the edge of the hole under the wall with both hands, fought with his arms, and his body jumped up suddenly, and the wall was instantly pushed down by Tang Ao.

"Good strength." Li Hong praised it, the singing inside stopped abruptly, raised his leg over the broken wall, and presented a dilapidated palace in front of Li Hong.

Tang Ao picked up a green brick and protected it at Li Hong's side, although this was the palace, Li Hong's poisoning made Tang Ao more careful, and he was afraid that Li Hong would encounter an accident.

Li Hong looked at the palace by the moonlight, and saw the three words Huixinyuan written on it, which gradually coincided with the memory in his mind, and his already weak body couldn't help but shiver.

Tang Ao heard the faint sound of breathing coming from the courtyard, and said in amazement: "Your Highness, there seems to be someone inside, do you want to call the guards?" ”

Li Hong crossed Tang Ao as if he hadn't heard it, and gently pushed open the courtyard door, most of the glazed tiles inside had already fallen, and the clear moonlight poured down, and he vaguely saw two figures, hiding behind the huge urn altar.

Tang Ao saw it more clearly than Li Hong, it was indeed two people, trembling, obviously frightened, and looking at the two urn altars again, Tang Ao couldn't help but exclaim.

In the huge urn altar, there were bones floating separately, the bones were incomplete, only the head and torso, and the bones of the limbs were missing, which looked eerie and terrifying under the white moonlight.

Li Hong's body trembled more and more, because the memories that had been forgotten by the dust became clearer and clearer, Tang Ao hurriedly threw away the green bricks and held Li Hong up, lest Li Hong fall to the ground.

"Tang Ao, help me over." Li Hong also saw the bones in the urn altar at this time, and the flesh on his face twitched involuntarily, but what made him more worried were the two people behind the urn.

"Sister Xiayu, is that you?" Li Hong said in a trembling voice: "Sister Qiongyu, I am Li Hong!" ”

Li Hong reported his identity, and the two people behind the urn stiffened for a while, and then walked out of the two trembling figures.

Tang Ao's night vision was like day, and when he saw the two people who came out, he was immediately stunned, these were two women, about twenty years old, the clothes on their bodies could only cover their bodies, their hair was unkempt, they looked embarrassed, but they couldn't hide their appearance.

The two daughters are sisters at first glance, their appearance is similar to eighty percent, their faces are not good-looking, but they are extremely beautiful, with eyebrows and eyes, nose and small mouth, which are similar to the people in the painting, and they are more like Xizi who is sick and heartfelt.

When Li Hong saw the second daughter, his face suddenly swollen red, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then broke free of Tang Ao's support, hugged the second daughter and cried.

"Hong'er." When the second daughter saw Li Hong's appearance, she no longer had any doubts, hugged her head and cried, and the three of them cried almost out of breath.

Tang Ao saw Li Hong vomiting blood again, he was really afraid that Li Hong had three longs and two shorts, and Li Hong, as the crown prince, hugged and cried with two women whose clothes could only cover his body, and it didn't look like it was spread out, so he immediately persuaded: "Your Highness, this place is deserted and not suitable for staying for a long time, so let's leave first!" ”

Li Hong was shocked and looked at Tang Ao gratefully: "Tang Ao, immediately go to the East Palace and call someone over, let Yang Sihe take more clothes from the crown princess, and the palace is waiting here." ”

Tang Ao returned to the East Palace, and called Yang Sihe who was sleeping straight away, when Yang Sihe heard that the prince asked him to take the princess's clothes back to the heart courtyard, his face suddenly turned pale, and his mouth muttered vigorously: "How can the prince go to the two princesses?" What a good thing that is! ”

Tang Ao frowned slightly, it seemed that Yang Sihe seemed to know something, those two unclothed women were actually the sister of the crown prince Li Hong, wouldn't that be the daughter of the current emperor, how could Jin Zhi Yuye be locked up in the cold palace, like pigs and dogs being raised?

Tang Ao was about to follow Yang Sihe back to the heart courtyard, but the collar was suddenly grabbed, and the whole person was like a big bird in the sky, Tang Ao's exclamation was stuck in his throat, no one else could treat him like this, it must be Xinyue.

Xinyue, dressed as a palace maid, became more and more charming than a few years ago, and after hanging Tang Ao on a tree, she pinched her chin and said, "How can you have time to enter the palace today?" Is there anything going on with King Lee Hsien? ”

At that time, Tang Ao was persuaded by Xinyue to become Xinyue's eyeliner by Li Xian's side on the grounds of Li Xian's safety, and traced the whereabouts of the treasure mirror, but unfortunately nothing was found in the past few years, and Xinyue had given up getting clues from Li Xian.

"The King of England is fine, but the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you know?" When Tang Ao spoke, his eyes were firmly fixed on Xinyue.

Xinyue sighed: "What's wrong with Li Hong?" ”

Tang Ao found that Xinyue's demeanor didn't seem to be fake, and his heart was relieved for no reason: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been poisoned, there shouldn't be many people who can poison the prince in the palace, right?" ”

"You doubt me?" Xinyue's face suddenly turned frosty, and she said unhappily: "It can already be determined that there is no abnormality in Li Hong's body, poisoning him, am I idle and have nothing to do?" ”

"Shhhh Someone's coming. Tang Ao was sure that it was not Xinyue who poisoned Li Hong, the tense heartstrings relaxed, and when he saw the figures in the direction of Huixin Courtyard, he waved his hand to signal Xinyue to silence.

"Mysterious, what's going on?" Xinyue saw Li Hong and the others passing under the tree and asked in a low voice.

Tang Ao told Xinyue about the scene in the Huixin Courtyard, Xinyue's face was also slightly pale, and she said to herself: "The rumors turned out to be true, let's go over and take a look." ”

Xinyue said, ignoring what Tang Ao thought, and carried Tang Ao to Huixin Courtyard again with a few ups and downs.
