Chapter 327: Foolish Dreams
Just when Chu Xingyue and Zhao Ling and his party were in a hurry to pack their luggage and prepare to hurry away, all the people in the capital were also in full swing carrying out various things.
Tonight, many people are destined to be sleepless all night.
In the Xuanwang Mansion
Because of Zhao Xuan's sudden assassination, the calm palace immediately exploded.
The palace was as bright as day, full of people who came in a hurry, some people sent by the queen, some people sent by the Jiang family's faction, and other people who were urgently recruited; Everyone waited outside King Xuan's bedroom, looking uneasy for the news.
You must know that tomorrow is the most critical time for the whole plan, and King Xuan must not have an accident at this time.
The person sent by the queen is Jiang Shuyu, the head of the second room of the Jiang family, compared to Jiang Wu's clumsiness, short-sightedness, although Jiang Shuyu is a concubine, his ability is very good; That's why he was handpicked by Jiang Qiang, who specially guarded the overall situation in King Xuan's mansion, and paid attention to the movements at any time, so as to facilitate the transmission of news to the palace.
The imperial doctor has been in for half an hour, and at any time he can see the people in the palace walking out with basins of blood and water, and there seems to be a faint smell of blood floating in the air.
Just when everyone was wondering whether King Xuan would die like this, the closed door finally opened from the inside, and the imperial doctor who was wiping his fingers came to Jiang Shuyu and saluted, "Lord Jiang, the situation is indeed a little bad. β
Jiang Shuyu heard a 'chuckle' in his heart, he knew very well how much Zhao Xuan meant to the Jiang family, if Zhao Xuan really had a problem at this time, then their years of hard work would be really in vain.
Enduring all kinds of apprehension and uneasiness in his heart, Jiang Shuyu took a deep breath and said, "Although Imperial Doctor Fu explains the situation, this official will listen." β
This Imperial Physician Fu is naturally also a member of the Queen Jiang's family, and after hearing Jiang Shuyu's words, he told the truth: "King Xuan's life has been saved, but his injury is too serious, and it is extremely difficult to even move at the moment, let alone enter the palace tomorrow." β
"You mean, King Xuan must recuperate, and he can't move around during this time?"
"That's exactly what it means."
Jiang Shuyu's eyes showed struggle: "What if you have to let him go to court tomorrow?" What will happen? β
Imperial Physician Fu didn't hide it, and directly told Jiang Shuyu the worst news: "I'm afraid that before I get to the court, I will lose my life." β
When Jiang Shuyu heard this answer, he closed his eyes fiercely, "Is it really so serious?" Can't even be carried to the court? β
Imperial Physician Fu expressed his suspicions, "Actually, when dealing with the injuries of His Royal Highness King Xuan, there were also several suspicious places found in Xia; Although King Xuan was covered in blood and wounds all over the place, the real fatal wound was in the chest, which was very clever, and it stands to reason that the murderer had already injured his chest with a sword, as long as he used a little more force, he could immediately take King Xuan's life; But the murderer suddenly withdrew his hand, and drew his sword; It seems that he doesn't want King Xuan's life at all, all he wants is to stop King Xuan's recent activities. β
Jiang Shuyu's brows lowered a cloud, and even his voice was lowered: "It seems that our guess is not wrong at all, someone specifically wanted to ruin our plan." β
"Who is it that dares to hurt the prince at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"
Jiang Shuyu snorted coldly and said: "Who else can there be, it must be King Ling's people, I really didn't expect these people to have such ability, King Ling has not returned to the capital, they can have this action, it can be seen that they want to fight with us to the death; However, it would be naΓ―ve for them to think that they could bring us down so easily. β
Saying that, Jiang Shuyu immediately ordered, and said: "Search the entire Xuanwang Mansion, and if you find a suspicious person, immediately catch it, remember, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go." β
The guards of the Xuan Palace, who were guarding Jiang Shuyu's side, and the people he brought from the Jiang Mansion immediately received orders; I saw that the Xuanwang Mansion, which was already panicked, was immediately covered with many suspicions, and everyone hated to shrink themselves into a small one, don't be caught by these guards who are in a hurry to find out the murderer, in this way, even if they have ten small lives, it is not enough to cut them.
Jiang Shuyu still wanted to stay in King Xuan's Mansion to preside over the overall situation, so he explained to the personal entourage he brought with him: "You hurry up and go to the palace, tell the queen about the situation in King Xuan's Mansion word for word, and let the queen mother come up with a way immediately." β
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
Jiang Shuyu looked at Imperial Physician Fu beside him again, and said, "You just stay in King Xuan's mansion, you must take care of King Xuan, and you must use the fastest way to recover him, understand?" β
"I understand below." After speaking, Imperial Physician Fu hurriedly went down to prescribe medicine with the medicine box.
Compared to the mess outside, the bedroom is much more depressing and dull.
Su Yingxue's crying eyes were red and she stayed by Zhao Xuan's side, looking at him lying on the bed who didn't know who was wrong, she could only cry silently.
Xiangling, who was still waiting by her side, couldn't stand it, and walked up to comfort her carefully: "Princess, please don't be so sad, didn't the imperial doctor also say just now, the prince is just a flesh injury, and it will be fine to recuperate for a while, but the princess, you must not be too sad, otherwise if you fall ill, who will take care of the prince?!" β
Listening to Xiangling's words, Su Yingxue sniffed, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped the tears on her face; Stroking Zhao Xuan's cheeks, which had been obviously emaciated in recent days, was full of distress.
"I don't know where the thief came from, he actually gave such a heavy hand, if the prince has three long and two short, even if I rummage through the entire capital, I will search for the thief and cramp and peel the skin."
What Su Yingxue didn't notice was that after she said this, a tile on the top of her head trembled slightly, and this trembling movement was very small, if it wasn't for someone who practiced martial arts, or someone with excellent eyesight, ordinary people would naturally not be able to detect it.
Therefore, even Xiangling, who was clever and took care of Su Yingxue's side, didn't notice it, so she could only follow Su Yingxue's words and said: "Lord Jiang has come in person, and the princess can be relieved to have him in charge of the overall situation in the mansion, I believe that it won't be long before anyone who dares to hurt the prince will be found." β
Just when Su Yingxue and Xiangling were whispering something, Zhao Xuan, who was unconscious on the bed, suddenly let out a painful snort again, seeing Zhao Xuan's unbearable pain like this, Su Yingxue straightened her throat and shouted at the Imperial Doctor.
For a while, the palace, which had finally calmed down, fell into chaos again, everyone was busy, and no one dared to stop and rest at will.
At the same time, the peach blossom eyes who had been lying on the roof and observing the movements of the palace turned over uncomfortably on the tiles of the people, looked at Hu Chong who was sitting beside him, and couldn't help asking: "I said, is it proportionate for you to stab down with that sword?" I think this king is about to be killed by us; Don't forget, we promised others that we didn't want this guy's life, in case he really died, we wouldn't be able to deal with him. β
Hu Chong spit out the dog's tail grass in his hand, glanced at the very coquettish peach blossom eyes lightly, and said: "My own hands are naturally measured, but it's you, I see that you are very happy when you scratch the wound on him, you have made so many cuts and shed so much blood, why don't you worry that you killed this kid." β
Peach Blossom Eyes choked on Hu Chong's words, blinked awkwardly, lay on the roof, pillowed his arms, and said: "How could I have thought that this kid is such an unbridled toss, obviously a father, that King Ling can fight bloodily all night without falling, even if he is seriously injured, he can still support it; But this kid is like a paper man, and if he tosses it casually, he will die or live; Sure enough, the old saying is not wrong at all, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different; If you want me to say, even if this kid is allowed to ascend the throne and become emperor, eighty percent will be a short-lived ghost. β
As she spoke, Peach Blossom Eyes pointed at Su Yingxue, who was guarding Zhao Xuan's side, with disgust, "Just this girl, the princess, compared with our big beauty, it's just a lot worse; If you want to look good or not, if you don't have a figure, you only know how to cry and shout when you encounter something, and if you want me to say, none of these two have become a weapon, if the rivers and mountains of Dawei are handed over to these two people, they will not finish playing as soon as possible. β
Hu Chong didn't comment much on Peach Blossom's words, but looked at the Xuanwang Mansion that was almost tossed, and fell silent again.
For him, as long as he can delay King Xuan from going to court tomorrow, the whole thing is considered to be a great success, and he feels a lot more comfortable thinking that he can do something for the person who is approaching the capital and do his part.
β¦β¦
Queen Jiang, who had been sitting in Yonghe Palace waiting for news, stood up from the phoenix chair angrily after hearing the return of Jiang Shuyu's entourage, and looked around angrily with a pair of eyes full of viciousness.
Looking at the queen who was so angry, the entourage was also frightened and knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
Jiang Shi glared at his entourage angrily and asked, "Are you sure that the imperial doctor himself said that the current King Xuan is not easy to move, otherwise, he will have to worry about his life?" β
"The servant was standing beside Master Jiang at that time, and heard with his own ears what the imperial doctor said; Queen Mother, Lord Jiang wants the slave to pass the word, he will deal with it over there in the Xuan Wangfu, but it is in the court after dawn, what should I do? β
Jiang Shi clenched his fingers covered with green tendons, and said hatefully: "What can I do?" Of course, everything went according to plan. β
"However, His Royal Highness King Xuan is like this, and he really can't move around."
Jiang Shi said coldly: "Those thieves who dare to spoil the good things of the palace, do they think that if they take Xuan'er, there will be no way for the palace?" Bengong must let them see, Bengong is definitely not the kind of person who will make mistakes and omissions to make people take advantage of loopholes, and if you want to overthrow Bengong, it's just a fool's dream. β
