Chapter 20: Lies and Broken Jade [Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation]
Jiang Hao dragged his bruised body, leaving a bloody path made of blood on the street, which was shocking and difficult to look at.
The world reflected in front of him became more and more blurry, and even the most ordinary roads could no longer be seen.
In front of the gate of the palace of the Qianjiang Dynasty, Jiang Hao fell to the ground with a bang, and his consciousness was deep in chaos and unconscious.
Heavy blood flowed from the scars on his body, forming a small pool of blood that stained the palace grounds.
When he opened his eyes again, and his consciousness returned from the chaos to his body, the familiar environment came into view.
This was his sleeping house in the Xuan Nga Court.
"Your Majesty, the princess, Your Royal Highness, have woken up!" An old and hurried voice sounded in Jiang Hao's ears.
Jiang Hao was stunned when he heard this, he slowly turned his head, but saw a group of strangers and several familiar people all in his bedroom.
It was the physician of the palace who spoke up, the monk who had entered the Tao with his medical skills, and who was also the chief physician of the palace.
Jiang Hao is the son of the king of the Qianjiang Dynasty, so he has such treatment, if he is replaced by an ordinary military general looking for the chief physician in the palace, he will not necessarily make a move, at most he will let the doctor under him go to treat him.
Xia He, the princess of Xia, walked eagerly to the bed, her willow eyebrows were tightly locked, and her eyes were full of worry and care that could not be concealed.
"Hao'er, it's great that you're okay. You hadn't woken up all night, and you were so worried about the death of your mother. Princess Xia cried with joy.
Her beautiful face now looked a little haggard, her eyes were red, and her mental state was not good, Jiang Hao could assert at a glance that Princess Xia had stayed by his bed all night without closing her eyes.
Jiang Hao's face was bloodless, and his lips were white.
His voice was a little hoarse and said, "Let the mother concubine worry." ”
Princess Xia looked at the white-robed old man who was packing up the elixir on the side, and said, "This doctor saved you, you need to thank others kindly." ”
Jiang Hao looked at the doctor and spit out a few words from his mouth with difficulty, "Thank you, doctor." ”
Hearing this, the old man hurriedly replied: "Your Royal Highness doesn't need to thank you, this is the duty of the old minister." ”
Afterwards, the doctor saluted King Qian and Princess Xia and said, "The Fifth Highness is now fine, and the old minister will retire first." ”
With that, the doctor turned and walked away.
"Hao'er, your father has also come to see you. Princess Xia on the side said softly.
Jiang Hao looked at King Qian, and King Qian also stared at Jiang Hao, the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the palace was a little solemn for a while.
He stared at the Qianwang, wanting to speak and stopped.
"What happened, that you were so badly injured?" asked King Qian, the first to speak, breaking the silence in the dormitory.
His voice was a little cold, and he didn't care about greetings at all, but more like questioning.
Jiang Hao slowly turned his head, pillowed his head with his hands, stared at the ceiling, and said lightly: "It's just that he was injured by a few fierce spirit beasts." ”
Hearing this, King Qianwang frowned and thought for a while.
Princess Xia was extremely stunned, "Spirit beast?!Hao'er, your cultivation is shallow, why would you provoke a spirit beast?"
"When I was passing through a mountain range, I happened to meet a spirit beast that was foraging for food, but fortunately, I had a good life, and I escaped with the help of the terrain of the mountain range, otherwise I would have been buried in the belly of the spirit beast. As he spoke, he didn't forget to laugh at himself.
Although Jiang Hao's words were casual, Princess Xia felt extremely guilty and even worried after hearing it.
King Qianwang pondered for a moment and said, "Now that you have woken up, this king will no longer disturb your rest." ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
"The concubine sent the king. Princess Xia saluted King Qian.
After King Qian walked out of Xuan Ya Pavilion, his originally calm face suddenly became extremely gloomy and indifferent, even mixed with a trace of displeasure.
Jiang Hao lied in front of him just now, as if he was hiding some unknown secret, but he saw it but didn't expose it in public.
The injuries on his body were obviously injured by several blade qi, as well as a one-style fist technique, not by spirit beasts at all.
King Qianwang frowned, narrowed his eyes, and muttered, "Jiang Hao..."
"What, the king went to the Ziyi Palace?!" In the Fengxiao Palace, the queen exclaimed in a lost voice.
"Hasn't he never been to Ziyi Palace in the past ten years, why ..... today?"
The palace maid replied: "Hui Niangniang, it is said that the Fifth Highness was seriously injured last night and fell in a pool of blood at the palace gate, and was discovered by the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate and immediately reported it to the king. ”
When the king heard the news, he immediately rushed over. ”
Hearing this, the queen's mood gradually stabilized, but there were still some ups and downs in the end.
Could it be that the king still has that slut and Jiang Hao's evil seed in his heart?
"Your Highness Fifth has been seriously injured, it seems that it is time for the future to go to the Ziyi Palace. With that, there was an extremely sinister expression on her face, which made her heart palpitate.
In the study, King Qianwang frowned and fell into a deep thought.
Suddenly, a hurried footstep sounded in the hall, which suddenly woke King Qian from his thoughts.
"The last general, Qin Wufeng, see the king. A man in a battle robe bowed to the king of Qian.
King Qianwang frowned and said, "What is the so-called?"
Qin Wufeng said: "Back to the king, the person of the Demon Sect is strange, and the general is incompetent, so he escaped, please punish the king." ”
Hearing this, King Qian said lightly: "This is not General Qin's fault, let the demon cultists escape, this king also has an unshirkable responsibility, and he doesn't have to take all the responsibility on himself." ”
"Thank you. But there is one more thing in the end. Qin Wufeng said.
The head of the king.
Qin Wufeng said, "Although the last general was incompetent and made the demon cult escape, he discovered an extremely important matter. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the interest of King Qian.
"The last general finally lost the trace of the demon cult in Cangmang Mountain, but he sent something in Cangmang Mountain. ”
With that, Qin Wufeng handed a piece of gold-inlaid white broken jade to King Qian.
King Qianwang looked at the broken jade in his hand, and his pupils suddenly shrank sharply, and his heart was shocked.
He stared at the broken jade in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the words that several of his royal palaces had spoken to him not long ago, and now they were slowly being realized.
"Father, now a lot of evidence is indirectly pointing to the fifth brother, does it have to wait until the day when the demon calamities the dynasty before the father will believe the words of his son and kill Jiang Hao, the demon?"
"Even if my father doesn't believe it, could it be that my father has never noticed that Jiang Hao's temperament has been changing in the past month, as if he has changed someone?"
Not long ago, several of his princes came to him one after another, and spoke heartfelt words before him, but he did not take it seriously.
He thought that this was just a matter of sibling rivalry and prejudice against his fellow countrymen, and that such things often happened among the children of the royal family, so he ignored them.
King Qian squeezed the broken jade in his hand fiercely, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "Okay, this king knows, you should retreat first, and report if you have any special findings." ”
"Yes, the last will retire. ”
After Qin Wufeng left, King Qian closed his eyes and said to himself towards the void: "Go and secretly investigate Jiang Hao of the Five Kings Palace." ”
As soon as the words fell, a black shadow suddenly burst out of nowhere and disappeared in a flash.
The breeze swept out of the pole line and blew on the desk, and the flames in the lamps were constantly swaying, and the light in the hall flickered and dimmed.
It wasn't until the breeze had completely dissipated that the flames in the lamp had stabilized again.
