Chapter 220: The Royal Messenger 1
At noon, the carriage procession of the Xiling Continent did not stop. Everyone, including the Xiling envoys, was nibbling on dry food and drinking some cold water on the carriage. ”
"Brother Guard, why are you in such a hurry? You can't go back to the almanac, no matter what you say. Poplar asked puzzled.
"Little madam, don't you know, the tributary once every five years, we people come out for more than half a year. So big that the lord of the country wants to know how much grain he will buy back this year? As young as our parents, wives and children were worried about whether we would be able to go back safely. None of us, regardless of our status, are like arrows. This time, it has been delayed for your queen's funeral, and there is no longer a rush on the road, so the family is not necessarily in a hurry? ”
"Brother Guard, can't you send a letter back at any time? I heard that the people on the three continents have a way of training birds and beasts. ”
"There are such people who can also train birds and beasts to deliver messages over short distances. But across the vast sea, unless it is a big bird with wings, ordinary birds and beasts can't do it. ”
The words of the Xiling guards opened another window in Baiyang's heart. Why not take advantage of the high flying ability of the Sky Eagle to feed back the movements on the three continents back to the Great Yan Kingdom in time. First bury eyeliner on the three continents, so that the Great Yan Kingdom can know itself and the enemy. Forever at the head of the four continents.
"Yang'er, your idea is very good. However, the eagles are scarce and difficult to hatch, which is an important problem. ”
"Husband, our generation can't do it, and there is our next generation. The first thing to solve is to ask our people to break into three continents. ”
"It's not that difficult. In the early years, Benwang traveled a lot of places and met a lot of friends. They also have various identities, merchants, officials, and even farmers. The Great Yan Kingdom has many opportunities to communicate with the goods of the three continents, but it is only blocked by the sea. If this problem is solved, other difficulties can be easily overcome. ”
"Don't write this matter into the letter to the emperor." The couple talked together, looking at each other and smiling.
The old emperor is already looking forward to being picked up in the middle of the night and falling back to sleep. The two Aquilas also became frequent visitors to the Cold Palace. It has been five or six days since the last time the King of Freedom returned with a letter. The calendar of Dayan Kingdom has arrived, and this year because of the queen's funeral, there is not a single lantern on the street. This makes what should be a lively calendar many years less flavorful.
A family banquet was to be held in the palace as usual, and the old emperor was embarrassed for a long time but allowed the prince to enter the palace. The crown prince did not dare to take Meng Dan into the palace again this time. The queen who spoiled him is gone, and the current Queen Qing is not his own mother. He now finally realized the mood of the King of Joy when he was far away from the court. On the contrary, he was even more resentful of the Easy King, and he took possession of the woman that should have belonged to him. He just can't hate Prince Poplar, even if Meng Dan doesn't blow the pillow wind less, he can't change the obsession in his heart.
This time, he asked the emperor to allow him to enter the palace for the New Year, most of the reason was also to see Baiyang. Unexpectedly, Baiyang and King Xiaoyao were not there, and even the four princes and his Xiling concubines did not attend the family banquet. This made the prince smell different, and Bai Wan'er's disappearance had quietly spread in the capital. It was only then that the crown prince heard that the fourth prince was sent by the emperor on a business trip, and he had just found out.
The prince sat on the table with a nameless fire in his belly, and it was not pleasing to anyone. The emperor and Empress Qing, who were sitting on the main seat, were in a good mood. The fur shop closest to the capital has been destroyed by the people brought by the four princes. It was also found out that it was another contact point established by the mainlanders of Beiling in the five years of tributary this time. The four princes rushed to the next fur shop, and I believe there will be good news coming.
The emperor looked at the prince at the table with a face full of loss, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Observing the words and looking at the beautiful scenery, the concubine also understood the emperor's thoughts. I couldn't help but think in my heart that if I wanted to completely kick the prince out of the court, it was not the time. King Xiaoyao and Bai Yang went to chase after the Beiling people to rescue Bai Wan'er, and they lost the power to restrain the prince. If they were in the emperor, they would not dare to allow the prince to enter the palace.
The fire that happened in the capital a few days ago burned to death was a spy of the Beiling people, which must be the handiwork of King Xiaoyao and Baiyang. The four princes were sent out, and it must have something to do with King Xiaoyao and Poplar. The shrewd Qing Guifei also thought that Bai Yang and King Xiaoyao would definitely bring unexpected gains to the court if they went to rescue Bai Wan'er this time.
She wants to urge her son to help the emperor guard the country and wait for the king to sit in that position. It is also necessary to prevent the prince's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Meng Dan did not follow the prince into the palace, which made the people at the family banquet a lot easier. The concubines of the prince's mansion had a miscarriage and the side concubine was evil, and no one did not suspect that it had something to do with Meng Dan. also rejected the prince in his heart and despised the prince.
In the midst of the joyful and peaceful eating and drinking of the family feast, the cry of the eagle came from outside the palace.
"Quack, quack, quack, quack."
"Where did the dead birds come from? Bring a bow and arrow, and the prince will shoot it down, roast it, and eat it. The upset prince finally found an outlet.
"Prince, the sky eagle is a divine bird that can't be shot." The old eunuch beside the emperor hurriedly said.
"Dog minion, how can you interject when this prince speaks?"
"Prince, you drank too much, come here, take the prince down to rest." The emperor was displeased, but he still couldn't bear to blame himself, the eldest son.
"Father, the son didn't drink much, and the son felt uncomfortable."
"The emperor, the former queen is funeral, we are all very sad. We've done what we can. All the imperial doctors couldn't find out the cause of the disease, and in order to refine the life-sustaining elixir, Princess Xiaoyao's internal strength was exhausted. The deceased is gone, so let's look forward. Concubine Qing looked at the prince and said lightly.
The prince can't say if he is bitter. Even now, he doesn't think he's done anything wrong. married the princess of the Beiling Continent, which was also caused by the five-year election. The death of the queen mother was also deliberately done by the poison venerable. And the root of all this is that the emperor is disrespectful to the elderly. For a moment, he hated everyone at the table, including the red-faced father.
"Prince, the slave will take you to the side hall to rest." A palace maid walked over with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. Just this voice of the prince is a spirit, this voice is very familiar to him. In an instant, the wine woke up, his heart lit up, and the prince obediently followed the palace maid out of the family banquet. It looks like I can't wait. provoked the people around to bow to the palace maid with sympathetic tears.
"You, you're a senior person?" Walking on the stone road in the palace, seeing that there were few people around, the prince asked a question.
"Prince, you yourself are stupid, you know no." The palace maid walked into the side hall with the prince.
"Master, you helped the queen mother before, can you help me now?"
"What can I help you? If it helps you detoxify in minutes. ”
"Prince Ben is not poisoned."
"That will help you save your youngest son, or heal the insane side concubine. Or kill the little poisonous girl? ”
"Why are you all targeting her?" The prince was a little manic.
The palace maid then turned around and looked at the prince with disdain and said, "Because she is your nightmare." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the prince fell softly. The Aquila swooped down and landed on the ground.
"Quack, quack." The cry was low and painful.
"Are you hurt?"
"Gah!" Aquila only screamed a little sadly this time, and stretched out a leg.
Dressed as a palace maid, the poison venerable hurriedly untied the small bamboo tube on the Sky Eagle's leg. Before she could say anything more to the Aquila, the Aquila rushed into the clouds, and the small Aquila followed.
"Sister, you have a big problem for my sister. I don't understand what the Aquila is talking about. Poison Zun put away the small bamboo tube, and then dragged the prince into a room in the side hall. He beckoned a few little eunuchs to guard him.
"Prince, the sleeping pill will be over in half an hour. Ask for your own blessings. Poison Zun muttered in his heart and returned to the family banquet.
"What a stupid human, Quack." The eagle quacked in the clouds.
"Let's go back and find the humans who summoned us. Quack, quack, quack. "Little Aquila caught up with the big Aquila Eagle suggestion.
"Quack, quack...", the two eagles rushed through the clouds one after the other, and below was the official road.
"What about the messenger? I want to write a letter back to the King of Escape. "For being picked up and sleeping again in the middle of the night, the emperor has no temper at all. After reading the letter sent by the Sky Eagle, the emperor hurriedly said.
"God, let's go." This time it was a palace maid who spoke to the emperor. Although she changed her costume, the emperor still recognized that she was the palace maid at the family banquet.
"What did you do with the prince?"
"Dead Emperor, the deity is not as ruthless as you. He's the son of the queen's sister, and I shouldn't do it even if I damn it. Why don't you ask how the prince is doing now? After the poison venerable finished speaking, he didn't wait for the emperor to ask a question.
"Your prince's son has already won the ****, and it is a luxury to want to have another heir in this life. This is retribution for the repayment of the mother's debt to the child. ”
"Can you save him? Please save him. ”
"Dead Emperor, you know where the root is, I can save him this time, but I can't save him forever. If it weren't for the virtue of your sons and fathers. How could the people of Beiling succeed in their scheme. ”
The emperor was silent and speechless. It took a long time to say that when the prince died, she became a widow. I have already begun to clear the hidden stakes left behind by the Beiling Continent, and then she will be alone. ”
"You're as stupid as your son, and you don't know who the prince slept with. Retribution! Your royal affairs have nothing to do with the deity. The messenger is gone, so go back to sleep. ”
"Who is God?" Looking at the back of the departing poison venerable, the old emperor asked.
"It's God." Poison Zun's voice came ethereally.
"You know what?" The old emperor asked in the void.
