Chapter 468: Losing Ground (2)

"Does the wound on your forehead still hurt?"

In Empress Pei's bedroom, Empress Pei whispered with concern.

At that time, he was caught off guard and hit his forehead the wooden board of the carriage, leaving a bruise. Cheng Jinrong has already applied good trauma medicine for himself. However, it has not been effective for a while, and the bruise is still eye-catching.

Cheng Jinrong pretended to smile briskly: "It doesn't hurt anymore." Niangniang is going to ask every other time after a stick of incense, where do I dare to hurt. ”

Queen Pei's heart was so heavy that she couldn't laugh at all.

She reached out to hold Cheng Jinrong's hand and said in a low voice: "Jinrong, I never expected that Yuantai would be so vicious and murderous to you a few months ago. Fortunately, Pei Zhang arrived in time to save you. If you have a ...... of three long and two short"

Empress Pei's voice trembled, her eyes suddenly turned red, her voice choked, and she couldn't say any more.

If something happens to Cheng Jinrong, she won't be able to live.

Cheng Jinrong's nose was pantothenic, forcing the heat in the corners of his eyes to retreat, and comforted softly: "It can be seen that I am blessed with a great life, and my life should not be extinguished." It's just that, in this way, he owes Pei Zhang a favor. ”

It's more than a favor.

Pei Zhang's deep affection for Cheng Jinrong has never changed. For the sake of Cheng Jinrong's life, he betrayed the second prince and completely angered Yong'an Hou. In the future, Pei Zhang's situation is not known to be so difficult.

Thinking of Pei Zhang, Queen Pei couldn't help but sigh: "Good bamboo shoots are good!" Pei Qin's ruthless and ruthless people actually gave birth to such a loving and righteous son. ”

It's a pity that Pei Zhang is the son of Yong'an Hou!

Cheng Jinrong was in a complicated mood and did not speak.

Queen Pei is also a person from the past, how can I not know what it tastes like. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and waited for each other's emotions to calm down before she whispered: "Jinrong, Pei Zhang's kindness, I will have the opportunity to return it in the future." ”

One day, she will take action against the Pei family. When the time comes, leaving Pei Zhang's life can be regarded as repaying today's kindness.

Cheng Jinrong heard the meaning of Empress Pei's words and nodded slightly.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. A hurried young man's voice sounded: "Queen Mother, Cousin Rong!" ”

It's the Six Princes!

……

Cheng Jinrong calmed down, got up and went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was the six princes who hurried over after hearing the news.

The sixth prince looked anxious and worried, and when he saw the bruises on Cheng Jinrong's forehead, he suddenly turned into distress and anger: "Cousin Rong! Does the pain on your forehead hurt? ”

"As soon as I left my study, I heard that you had been assassinated. There are rumors outside, and they all say that the second emperor brother instructed someone to assassinate you. Yes and no? ”

Cheng Jinrong didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Indignation flashed in the eyes of the six princes, and they clenched their fists hard and slammed them on the door. The thick wooden door trembled, and the fists of the six princes also turned red.

Cheng Jinrong was startled, and immediately pulled the sleeves of the six princes into the bedroom. Take out the wound medicine that you have with you.

Empress Pei stepped forward, took the medicine from the wound, and applied the medicine to the six princes.

The sixth prince pursed the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with anger: "Queen Mother, does Father also know the reason for this?" ”

Empress Pei didn't look up, and responded in a low voice: "I know." Yesterday, Pei Zhang had secretly told the emperor. Therefore, Jinrong can be saved in time today. ”

The sixth prince was still angry: "Knowing that the Second Emperor Brotherhood would send someone to assassinate Cousin Rong, why didn't my father stop it in advance?" Let Cousin Rong be frightened by this? There were also a few deaths and injuries of the Royal Forest Guards! ”

"Just talking in vain, how can the emperor believe it!" Cheng Jinrong took the conversation lightly: "Only when the second prince really makes a move, comes to the stolen goods and gets caught!" ”

"I have only suffered some minor injuries that are insignificant, and Your Highness need not worry about me."

After a pause, Cheng Jinrong said again: "The emperor was very angry, severely punished His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and issued a decree to seal the Second Prince's Mansion. ”

The sixth prince gritted his teeth and said: "My breath is really difficult to calm down!" ”

Cheng Jinrong's heart was hot, and he said softly: "Your Highness is unfair to me, I understand it in my heart." His Royal Highness the Second Prince now doesn't know how annoyed and remorseful. I also felt relieved in my heart. ”

"Your Royal Highness must not show dissatisfaction in front of the emperor. I'm safe and sound, he's a prince again. Such a disposition is already a severe punishment for the emperor. ”

For a prince, being grounded by the Son of Heaven and falling out of favor is indeed a heavy punishment.

But in the hearts of the six princes, there is still an indescribable anger.

If Pei Zhang informed, or didn't arrive in time to save people, would Cheng Jinrong die at the hands of the second prince? The second prince dared to assassinate Cheng Jinrong, which was sure that Emperor Xuanhe would not kill people because of Cheng Jinrong.

It's so deceitful!

Empress Pei applied the wound medicine, raised her head, and looked at the six princes: "Little Liu, when the power is in your hands in the future, you will be able to protect the people you care about." ”

The sixth prince did not avoid Queen Pei's gaze, the mother and son looked at each other for a moment, and the sixth prince nodded slowly: "What the queen mother said is right." ”

No matter how much his father favors him, as long as he does not have the title of prince for a day, he will still be a young sixth prince. Several older royal brothers hated him in their hearts, but they didn't really take him seriously.

The second emperor brother knew that he and Cheng Jinrong were like sisters and brothers, and they had no scruples, so they still sent someone to assassinate Cheng Jinrong.

If he becomes a prince and rightfully sits above all the princes, who else dares to despise him? Who would dare to do something to the people he cares about?

When he holds power, even his father will pay more attention to his feelings.

It often only takes a moment for a person to truly grow and mature.

The Sixth Prince clearly heard the sound of breaking in his heart. It was his last hope and fantasy of father-son affection and brotherhood, and the voice of the ruthless shattering.

Cheng Jinrong looked at such six princes, and his heart was heavy: "Your Highness, don't be estranged from the emperor because of me." ”

The sixth prince was silent for a moment, and Chong Cheng Jinrong smiled: "Don't worry!" I'm not a young and ignorant child, I know what to do. ”

……

Half an hour later, the six princes went to the Baohe Hall and had lunch with Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe was in a bad mood today, and he didn't have much appetite, so he ate a few bites at random, and then put his chopsticks aside.

"You already know about Cheng Jinrong's assassination!"

Emperor Xuanhe was in an unhappy mood, and he didn't hide it much in front of his favorite son: "Your second emperor brother, you don't have any other abilities, but he dares to assassinate and kill people!" ”

"If you dare to attack Cheng Jinrong today, won't anyone dare to kill him tomorrow! Hum! I must teach him a lesson! ”

The father is so angry, why don't you punish him a little more!

The sixth prince thought silently in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The second emperor brother was confused for a while and made a mistake, fortunately, Imperial Doctor Cheng was unharmed, and the son begged his father to spare the second emperor brother this time." ”
