Chapter 38
A cold spring made the prince Wen Chaoyang sick, and the prince was on vacation for three days, Aiqing and Jing Tingrui went to visit Mrs. Wen together, and also sent a lot of pastries from the imperial dining room. 【Reading.com】
Fortunately, the Beidou Imperial Doctor said that this is not a big deal, and it will be fine if you drink a few bowls of cold medicine.
Beidou is a famous doctor, what he said is right, Aiqing quit with confidence, although he has been looking forward to the school holiday, but he really doesn't have to go to school, but he is also bored.
The most important thing is that Aiqing originally wanted to take the opportunity of going to school to ask her younger brothers what to do, about Jing Tingrui being appointed as the head coach by his father.
See if there's any chance of this changing? The four brothers got together, and there was nothing else, and there were always a lot of ghost ideas.
Your Highness, where are you going? Seeing that the prince had no intention of returning to the East Palace, but turned his head and walked towards the palace gate to the south, Jing Tingrui asked.
Go to Yan, and play with Tianyu and Tianchen. Aiqing didn't look back, and still made great strides forward.
During these days, Aiqing has always been like this to Jing Tingrui, although she has spoken, she has never looked at each other head-on.
He knew that Jing Tingrui was about to leave the East Palace as a general of the Northern Expedition, all of which was his father's intention. But he just couldn't let go of it in his heart, as if he had a lump of iron, heavy, and he couldn't breathe.
It's going to rain soon. Jing Tingrui looked at the dark clouds overhead, and the branches in the courtyard were shaking so strong that the wind was so strong that he persuaded him to go another day.
Even if it's going down the stone, I'm going to go! Aiqing said, puffing out her cheeks.
Go and pass the sedan chair. Jing Tingrui instructed the eunuchs who accompanied him.
I don't want to sit in a sedan chair! I'll just go! Aiqing walked out of the winding corridor, walked through the courtyard, and jumped forward like a little rabbit.
Jing Tingrui had no choice but to keep up, no matter how big and fast Aiqing's pace was, Jing Tingrui could keep up, but this was a bitter eunuch and palace maid holding a water bowl and a shawl, and after a while, they fell behind.
Only Aiqing and Jing Tingrui were left in front.
Aiqing saw that it was very close to the Shuangxing Palace where Tianyu and Tianchen lived, and the plaque on the door of this palace was inscribed by his father and ordered by skilled craftsmen.
The prince can't live in the same palace, but for Tianyu and Tianchen, the father is very gracious, saying that they are the same person and should not live separately.
First, it was a magnificent framed plaque, and then Aiqing noticed that the people around the palace gate were all eunuchs, probing their brains into the palace.
What are you doing here? Aiqing shouted at them with a smile, Tianyu and Tianchen can always come up with something interesting to play
Fa, is this time taking advantage of the holiday to play hide and seek? Why did you hide outside the palace gate?
It's good that this is silent, but when they scream like this, those eunuchs are as if they have been struck by lightning, and they are all covered in a spirit, turn around, and just look at the yellow clothes on the prince's body, and they all fall to their knees.
One by one, they scrambled to say that the minions did not see the prince, failed to greet them from afar, and asked His Highness to atone for their sins!
It is appropriate for the slave to see the master saluting, but the eunuchs of the Double Star Palace and the princes often play together, and they are not separated. In the past, even if they knelt down to worship the prince and the prince, they were all hippie smiling faces, and they were not serious.
Aiqing couldn't help but be stunned, blinked her eyes, looked at her shrunken body, and said with a smile, I know, you are colluding with Tianyu and Tianchen again, are you trying to fool me?
There was a more daring eunuch, bowing his head, and replied softly, no, the little ones are all newly transferred from the Internal Affairs Bureau......
Newcomer? Aiqing nodded, no wonder I'm afraid of me, get up, I'm not a man-eating tiger, you ask Xiaochunzi
And they got it.
But no matter what Aiqing said, the eunuchs did not dare to get up, and it was not until Aiqing repeatedly stated that they would not punish them, and they retreated like a tide in fear.
What kind of play is this? It's weird. Aiqing shrugged his shoulders, seeing that the heavy rain was about to fall, he stepped into the palace gate, however, before he stepped in one leg, his arm was grabbed by Jing Tingrui.
Don't go in. Jing Tingrui's voice was very low, like a muffled thunder in the sky.
Why? Even you've become so weird. Aiqing was a little angry and let me go.
Your Highness! Jing Tingrui insisted on not letting go.
At this moment, hearing the sound of ping-pong, Aiqing looked inside, and a team of Imperial Forest Army with weapons came out, and they were escorting many people, all eunuchs, with chains around their necks and ankles.
The sound came from them as they walked, and Haruko was the first, her face was pale, her soul was lost, and her eyes were red from crying.
I had never seen such a terrifying scene, Aiqing's eyes couldn't help but widen, and her heart was pounding with nervousness!
Aiqing wanted to go in and ask what was wrong? Yesterday was still good! Jing Tingrui didn't let him in.
Don't stop me! Aiqing struggled desperately, and the leader of the Royal Forest Army saw the prince and made up his mind to salute.
The eunuchs who were locked up all cried, knelt on the ground and shouted, kowtowing vigorously, the slave didn't want to die, please be merciful to His Royal Highness the Prince! It's not miserable for a while.
The raindrops the size of beans poured down with a bang, and the Imperial Forest Army fiercely pulled the chains, dragged them away from the front of the prince, drove them out of the Double Star Palace, and went all the way to the north.
Why...... ...... they begged me for mercy? Aiqing stood in the rain curtain, looking at the figures who were getting farther and farther away, shaking Jing Tingrui's hand, and said in a trembling voice, why ......?!
Because you are the crown prince. Jing Tingrui said, looking very reluctant, although this is very cruel, it is a fact that they have been disrespectful to you, so the emperor will order them to be executed.......
Aiqing is the crown prince and the future son of Dayan, if he is despised by the little eunuch, won't he be messed up? Also, they attacked the prince with snowballs, and this act alone could be executed.
Coupled with the various disrespects that these minions had to the prince in the past, they were almost on an equal footing with Aiqing, and it was natural that the emperor would be angry. Because it is really detrimental to the prestige of the country.
I don't care if they respect me or not! Aiqing gasped in a hurry, I want to play with them! If you want to punish me, you should punish me! What do they have to do with it?!
But the emperor cares, after all, you are the prince of Dayan...... Jing Tingrui had noticed early on that the emperor was dissatisfied with the inner servants of the Double Star Palace, but he didn't expect to kill him for this.
However, in the emperor's heart, if this move can set things right and establish the prestige of the crown prince, why not kill a few eunuchs? Jing Tingrui understood the emperor's intentions very well.
This trick is called killing chickens and respecting monkeys, but in his heart, Jing Tingrui thinks that he is the most disrespectful person to the prince. As long as his feelings for the prince are out of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, it is like walking on the blade, and sooner or later he will die because of it.
But, even so, he has no regrets.
I don't want that...... I don't want anyone to die for me......! Aiqing repeated this sentence repeatedly, with tears in her eyes, Jing Tingrui covered his eyes and hugged him into her arms.
Please don't be too sad, let's go back, this matter is at the disposal of the emperor. Jing Tingrui gently persuaded, it's not your fault, it's not their fault, it's not the emperor's fault, it's the fault here is the Dayan Palace, a place where everyone needs to perform their duties, and there can be no mistakes, omissions and overreaches.
Rarity...... So, I'm supposed to watch them die like this? Or should I send you on a battlefield adventure with a smile? Because I'm the crown prince, and you're ...... It's my father's minister, and I can't resist it...... Otherwise, will more people die...... Aiqing lay on Jing Tingrui's shoulder
Head, after these words came out, I couldn't cry myself.
Your Highness, don't cry, and don't be afraid. Jing Tingrui held Aiqing's face, kissed his forehead, and carefully wiped away his tears, again
promised, with your concern, how dare you die easily, no matter if you go to the battlefield or hell, the lowly will come back alive!
Aiqing didn't answer, his little nose kept sucking, but he nodded and buried his head in Jing Tingrui's arms, I don't want to cry anymore.......
On this day, Aiqing finally understood how heavy his identity as a prince was, and his words and deeds were related to the lives of the people around him.
He grew up, he was eleven years old, and he couldn't afford to take those lives from his father by playing with a child's temper.
And Jing Tingrui also understands that if he wants to stay by the prince's side for the rest of his life, he can't always walk on the edge of the knife and let others decide his life and death.
He has to become strong, no, very strong, he has to gain vital military power, then he can have the opportunity to protect Aiqing.
It's just that Jing Tingrui didn't know that when he decided to climb up, he was also challenging the imperial power. This will cause a lot of bloody storms, and in the future, no matter what he wants in his heart, he will be farther and farther away from his original intention......!
