Chapter 181: The Three Princes Break Their Legs

When the three princes came out of Julongzhai, it was already dark. The third prince was just about to get into the carriage surrounded by everyone, when a delicate voice came from behind him.

"I've seen the Three Princes."

The third prince turned around, and the dignified and beautiful quiet Shu stood behind him and curtled his knees and saluted him.

The third prince knows that he is quiet, smart and lovely, and has a deep affection for Xiao Wenxuan, so much so that he follows Xiao Wenxuan all the way regardless of everyone's discussions.

The third prince squinted and smiled to make Jing Shu up.

"I heard that you went with Prince Ning?" The third prince asked knowingly.

Jing Shu nodded against everyone's strange eyes: "Yes, the little girl originally wanted to follow Prince Ning, but it's a pity...... Prince Ning suffered misfortune, and Jingshu had no choice but to come back. ”

"You're back, Prince Nanin's corpse...... The coffin should be there soon? The third prince's face did not change, but his tone was cautious.

"Back to the third prince, on the second day of Prince Ning's murder, there was a ground movement in the Guanzhong area, and Jingshu finally escaped in the ground movement, and Prince Ning's team ...... There is no news anymore. ”

Jing Shu's face was sad and she lowered her head.

In fact, the third prince had already known such news, but in front of everyone, he still pretended to know it for the first time, and sighed tiredly:

"Prince Ning died tragically, and his father was also grieved. You...... Mourn too! ”

Jing Shu didn't show her sadness too much, and her eyes were fixed on the legs of the third prince.

"Along the way, I heard that the third prince's leg disease has healed, Jingshu congratulates the third prince."

The third prince smiled slightly, and was about to speak. Suddenly, all the passers-by went to the direction of the city gate, and they still shouted: "Go and see, Weiwu Hou escorted King Ping's rebel party back to Beijing." ”

"Hundreds of people, old and young, let's go and have a look."

"Let's go, let's see."

……

It's almost the end of the year, although the weather is cold, there are a lot of people who can go to the street to buy, and everyone should rush to the street excitedly. The small traders and vendors also craned their necks to catch a glimpse of this rare prosperous scene.

The guards of the Three Princes lined up in front of the Three Princes, blocking passers-by. Jing Shu stood one step behind the three princes, and followed everyone to look at the direction of the mighty waiting team.

Wei Wu Hou Wei Yao escorted King Ping's rebel party back to Beijing, there were many prisoners, including old and young women and children, thousands of miles away, there were few sick and dead on the road, Wei Wu Hou and the officers and soldiers escorted after half a year, and finally escorted most of the prisoners back.

At the gate of the city, there were already officers and soldiers of Dali Temple waiting for the handover. Wei Wuhou handed over the traitorous party to Dali Temple, and brought his cronies into the palace to restore his life. The people of Dali Temple escorted the rebel party into the city.

Wolong Street is the largest and most prosperous street in the capital, although the road is wide, but now it is surrounded by people who are running to tell each other.

"Third prince, do we want to go back to the house first?" Jia Liu saw that there were more and more people, and he was afraid that the carriage would not be able to go away after a while.

"Don't worry, go upstairs and see the excitement."

This rare grand scene the three princes don't want to miss. But huddled with the people is a loss of identity and unsafe. Going upstairs is the best of both worlds.

The three princes wanted to see the excitement, Jia Liu didn't dare to stop it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the three princes.

The third prince turned around and collided with Jing Shu, who was standing behind him.

Jing Shu smiled and curted her knees: "Jing Shu also wants to take a look." The third prince doesn't mind, right? ”

The third prince nodded: "Come along." ”

The third prince walked in front, and Jing Shu followed closely. Walking through the lobby and going up the stairs, Jing Shu suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, just at the feet of the third prince.

The third prince only felt a cold right ankle, and he lowered his head for a moment.

Jing Shu raised her head and looked at him with a dark gaze: "Third prince, I'm sorry!" After saying that, he got up and ran away.

Jia Liu didn't know why, and looked at Jing Shu's back in a daze. Suddenly, he saw the third prince, his face was hideous, and his body fell downstairs.

Jia Liu, who had just reacted, wanted to help him too late, and saw the third prince fall to the ground.

"Third Prince, what's wrong with you?"

"Someone!"

Jia Liu panicked and hurriedly called someone.

As soon as the guards guarding outside Julongzhai heard Jia Liu's call, all hula lala poured in.

Jia Liu helped the third prince up, the third prince's face turned pale, his eyes widened, and he wanted to lift the cotton robe on his body.

"My feet...... My feet ......"

Jia Liu hurriedly helped him lift the corner of the cotton robe, and his face suddenly changed greatly: under the third prince, at the right ankle, blood had already stained the shirt.

"Quick, go home."

"You two, go get someone."

Jia Liu picked up the third prince and ran out, jumping into the carriage that was already waiting outside. kicked the driver, personally wheeled the whip, and ran wildly towards the Three Princes' Mansion.

"Dodge, dodge......"

Jia Liulun rounded the horsewhip and shouted all the way, hitting countless pedestrians who had no time to dodge.

On the other end, the two guards had to go out to catch Jingshu, but there was a vast sea of people, where to find it? The two searched in the crowd for an hour, and did not return to the Three Princes' Mansion until it was dark.

At this time, in the bedroom of the three princes, the three princesses Zheng and several concubines gathered around the bed, crying nonstop.

The room was full of heavy bloody gas, the bed of the third prince was stained with blood, the third prince was curled up on the bed and confused, and his injured foot was still bleeding.

A basin of blood and water went outward, and the emperor who was guarding the hall began to sit still.

Several imperial doctors went in and out, one by one worried,

"How's the third child?"

When the emperor saw several imperial doctors coming in and out, he frowned one by one, and grabbed one of them and asked anxiously.

Imperial Physician Li, who was caught, hurriedly stopped and bent down and replied: "Back to the emperor, the hamstring of the third prince's right foot was cut and the blood veins were cut. ”

Cut hamstrings?

The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been an unwritten rule:

A person with an improper appearance and incomplete limbs cannot be a king. That is to say, it doesn't matter if you don't look good, but you can't have a scar on your face. It doesn't matter if you're tall or short, but you need to be able-bodied.

The three princes are dignified in appearance, moderate in height. The paralysis of the two legs for more than ten years has just been cured, but who knows that he suffered this catastrophe again, and the hamstring was broken, which means that even if the third prince is cured, he will become a cripple in the future.

The emperor's eyes were dark, he shook a few times, and was held up by Imperial Doctor Li and Father-in-law An in time:

"Your Majesty? Emperor? ”

The emperor sat paralyzed in his chair and weakly instructed Imperial Physician Li: "You go, you must find a way to save the third child's life." ”

"The emperor takes care of his health, and the ministers will do their best."

handed over the emperor to Father-in-law An, and Imperial Physician Li entered the house of the third prince again. An hour passed, and the third prince's foot finally stopped bleeding, but the person also fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Imperial Physician Li and all the imperial physicians came out to give the emperor his life.

"Back to the emperor, the blood of the three princes has stopped."

"What about the hamstrings? Is there a way to pick it up? "My life was saved, but if I can't connect my hamstrings, I'm a waster.

"Forgive the ministers and others are incompetent, if the hamstrings of the three princes are not completely broken, the ministers may still find a way to connect them for the three princes, but now...... Please ask the emperor to punish the crime! ”

Imperial Physician Li lifted his shirt and knelt on the spot, and several other imperial physicians also knelt down.

The emperor looked at the people kneeling on the ground and sighed in disappointment: "Forget it, let's all get up." ”

The Imperial Physicians stood up and stood beside them.

Gonggong An suddenly remembered something, and walked in front of the emperor and reminded carefully: "Your Majesty, you forgot Bao Yigu, he can cure the legs of the third prince once, and he may not be able to save him a second time." ”

The emperor's heart, which was originally shrouded in haze, listened to Gonggong An's words and threw a ray of light again.

"Go, pass the bag Yigu. Be quick! ”

The people who passed the bag Yigu had just gone out, and the people who went out to chase after Jingshu came back.

The emperor called someone to inquire about the results in person.

"Back to the emperor, his subordinates chased more than a dozen streets, but today coincided with the mighty Hou bringing King Ping's traitorous party into the city, and the streets and alleys were all crowded with people watching the excitement, so the subordinates did not catch up with Jingshu's whereabouts, and the subordinates were incompetent, so please ask the emperor to punish the crime."

Both of them knelt on the ground, trembling. The three princes were assassinated, and they watched the murderer flee from under their noses, which was not a light crime.

When the emperor heard that Jing Shu didn't catch it, he slapped the table and was furious: "It's all useless waste, let a woman hurt the master under your noses, and let people run away." Come on, lock up all the people who went out to serve with the third child today, and when you catch Jingshu, you will be killed together! ”

"Ande, you go and pass on my message: close the city gate and arrest Jingshu, Jinghai is not strict with the goddaughter, and the arsonist girl is arrested together."

The emperor gave an order, and Grandpa An hurried to do it.

The people who followed the three princes out, along with the coachman, did not run away, and all of them were locked up.

Jinghai Houfu, Jinghai Hou just heard the news that Jing Shu had abolished one leg of the third prince, and the emperor's Imperial Forest Army arrived. Jing Haihou knew that Jing Shu had done such a rebellious thing, and it was impossible for him not to be implicated, so he even saved the distinction and was directly imprisoned in Dali Temple.

The emperor waited in the Three Princes' Mansion until midnight, and the people who went out to look for Bao Yigu finally came back: "Back to the emperor, I went to Bao Yigu's house, Bao Yigu's residence was in a mess, and people didn't know where they went." ”

"What about his family?"

"My subordinates asked, Bao Yigu only has a small house, and he has no family."

The emperor was silent for a moment and ordered in a cold voice: "Take Jia Liu." ”

After a while, Jia Liu was brought up and pressed to the ground and knelt down.

The emperor walked in front of him, his voice was not loud, but the dragon was powerful in his ears: "What is the origin of that Bao Yigu, you tell me the truth, if you hide it, I will tell you the nine clans." ”

Jia Liu is a confidant of the third prince, and the third prince's legs and feet are inconvenient, and almost all things are handled by Jia Liu. Jia Liu knew that the emperor had failed to find Bao Yigu, and he also knew that the third prince had lost his legs, and he was afraid that he would never have a chance with the high dragon chair. He has been locked up by the emperor for the crime of dereliction of duty, and even if the third prince intercedes for him in the future, he is afraid that it will be a capital crime, and the living crime will not be escaped.

Rather than letting the emperor find out Bao Yigu's true identity by himself, it is better for him to confess and be lenient. Maybe it can save the lives of the family.

Thinking of this, Jia Liu no longer concealed it, and explained the matter to the emperor clearly.

"Back to the emperor, his subordinates know that Bao Yigu is not a person who is good at the art of longevity, but a charlatan who the third prince found in Lin'an to help him achieve his great cause......"
