"I hesitated, but I decided to hand over the ice silkworm to the divine doctor.

Unexpectedly, what happened later made it even more unpredictable for me.

The ice silkworm was robbed, I sent someone to look for it, but it didn't work, the doctor didn't know how to get it again, I could only send him away, but he was intercepted and killed, and there were many dead and injured. ”

After Chu Jiao listened, she had an idea in her heart.

"Is there a result of the follow-up investigation?"

"Not yet, and I'm at a loss for it."

Qingrong frowned, and her face was not very good.

"Don't worry, things will always work out.

The top priority is to get His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stand up quickly. The servant said comfortingly.

Chu Jiao knew very well that Qingrong had to stand up immediately and grasp the real power, and then he could have the ability to investigate, otherwise, he would be a strong man after all.

Unconsciously, a month passed, Qingrong was in the courtyard, and his body was able to move slowly.

This is a great joy for the entire people in the Prince's Mansion.

But at the same time, this situation is also a danger.

"This matter must be kept secret, and the mouths of the prince's mansion must be tight."

The prince read with him.

"The king's health is deteriorating, and it is very bad.

The king wants to see you now. ”

When Qingrong entered the palace, he took Chu Jiao in, and Chu Jiao lied that she was his personal maid under the veil.

The situation in the palace is not very good, and the atmosphere is very tense.

"Your Majesty, your sons are here."

When Qingrong arrived, several imperial brothers had already arrived.

Several people looked back at him in a wheelchair and was pushed over by his companion, and their eyes suddenly focused on him.

"Son, you're here, come to me."

When the king saw Qingrong, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"How is the prince feeling that he has been in good health recently? Are there any signs of improvement? ”

The national teacher asked.

Qingrong's face was not happy, but said, "The situation is as usual. ”

When he said this, there were people below who gloated about the misfortune and those who watched the show, all sorts of people.

The king hid the disappointment in his eyes, but Qing Han said: "I have tried my best to find a good doctor in the world for my brother, my brother does not need to worry too much, please take care of your health." ”

"Thank you."

At this time, the king gave him a look, and the national teacher said to the others: "You should step back first, the king wants to say a few words to the prince." ”

Led by Qing Han, everyone walked out, and at this time, everyone's eyes were not very friendly.

He stopped for no reason when he walked to Qingrong's year.

Bent his back slightly, his voice was full of playfulness: "The maid next to my brother is very good." ”

When Chu Jiao and Qing Han looked at each other, she noticed the change in his mood, so she immediately left his sight.

Qingrong didn't smile or speak, just nodded slightly.

When there was no one around, the king sat up with the help of the national teacher, and began to cough up blood incessantly, and only then did it stop after a while.

"The king's health does not seem to be well." Qingrong said and looked at Chu Jiao.

Chu Jiao nodded slightly.

He then said, "Why don't you let the doctor next to me try it, it might be useful." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

Chu Jiao stretched out his hand and held his arm, only to see Qingrong slowly stand up, although his legs trembled violently, he actually moved slowly.

When the king saw it, he forgot about it for a moment.

The national teacher was even more overjoyed: "Prince! You! You are! ”

"It's all the doctor's work."

Qingrong said unhurriedly.

At this time, Wang Shang and the others also understood what Fang Cai Qingrong meant when he said that his body was not well.

"You have done this very well, and when you are completely and completely recovered, you can just tell me about it."

The king's face seemed to be much better.

"Erchen understands. but worried about the king's body. ”

"I wonder who this is? Ranwen

I knew there would be a noble lady by the prince's side.

I just didn't expect it to be so soon!

It's wonderful! ”

"That's nice." Qingrong said.

The national teacher looked at Chu Jiao meaningfully: "I don't know, can I see the true face?" ”

Qingrong nodded, and Chu Jiao slowly took off the veil.

The national teacher pinched his fingers, and after a while, he suddenly knelt on the ground as if he had realized it, and the expression on his face was true: "Your Majesty! This is the person destined by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Chu Jiao was a little messy, but she never believed in fate.

When Qingrong heard this, his eyes looked at Chu Jiao a little complicated.

"Let's go and show the king first."

Chu Jiao went cautiously and carefully checked the pulse.

After a moment, she said, "Your body ......"

She didn't finish speaking, but looking at her expression, everyone understood.

There was no surprise to the national teacher and the king.

"Actually, there is also a way to continue life, but at most, it can last for half a year."

Chu Jiao said.

Even the Holy Hand Divine Doctor didn't say such a thing, and the woman in front of him really surprised a few people.

The king was silent, you looked at the national teacher and national teacher beside him with a very solemn expression: "You still need to think carefully about this matter, after all, the will of heaven is difficult to violate, if it is only against the will of heaven, the fate chart will be changed, as long as what happens, it will also have an impact, and even affect the fortune of the country, so please also ask the king to consider for the common people." ”

A smile appeared on the king's face: "You don't have to say more, I understand what you mean, but it's troublesome for this girl, but I'm still more interested in what happened just now, since you said that she is a destined person, I don't know how old this girl is, can there be a marriage match in the family?" ”

"In fact, it is not without benefits to change one's life against the sky, if you live for a longer period of time, it will definitely be beneficial to the people in the world, it is better for the king to think about it again."

Qingrong still hopes that his father can live for a while longer, after all, who doesn't want to live.

"I'll naturally think about it."

Chu Jiao said unhurriedly: "I have already been married, I'm afraid I am not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, I can only live up to your good intentions." ”

The national teacher frowned and shook his head: "I have been divining for decades, and I have never made a mistake.

You are the person appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and there is no mistake in that, just like I said that he will definitely stand up this year. ”

"Maybe something will change in the future, and you two don't want to stay in the palace with me.

One after another, I will also hand over the power to the prince, and the prince happens to lack an assistant by his side, if the prince can have someone like you to assist, then I will be relieved. ”

"The retainers obey the emperor's orders."

And at this time, in private, a palace maid had already quietly told Qing Han about Ji Ren's conversation as it was, and after Qing Han heard it, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and the people around him were also surprised.

"I didn't expect him to lie down for so long, and now he can still stand up, it's just not easy, it's just a waste."

Qing Han's adviser said.

Qing Han raised his eyebrows, his face was very good: "Very good, the imperial brother can stand up, this is a great thing, how can you say that this kind of thing can be hidden from me?" Brother is so inauthentic. I think I'll have to add some spice to him. ”

At this time, it coincided with the need for the national teacher to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.

Praying to the heavens to bring a year of good weather to the Western Regions is also a very important part.

However, this was not held in the imperial palace in the Western Regions, it was in a relatively remote place, and the emperor and the crown prince and others must participate in the ceremony of worshipping the sky.

Everyone kept the matter of Qingrong being able to stand up secret, and almost no one from the outside knew about it, so when the ceremony was held, Qingrong still sat in a wheelchair and prayed for blessings, offering the girl's body, clean and pure.

At the beginning of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Qingrong's body had not fully recovered, and Chu Jiao was not worried that he would go to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony alone, so he took the initiative to ask to go with him to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Chu Jiao saw the unique way of worshipping the Heaven in the Western Regions.

I saw that in front of me was a huge temple of heaven, specially used for sacrifice, with a very large roof on it, and a shelf that could accommodate a person on the top, needless to say, Chu Jiao could also think that this was used to sacrifice people to heaven.

"How to worship the heavens?"

Chu Jiao was a little curious about this.

Qing Han said expressionlessly: "Cover the girl with a veil, put on her clothes, and then make her lie on a shelf, and then she will be burned under the bottom until his body is burned to the ground, and look at the woman who is going to be sacrificed to the sky." ”

Chu Jiao followed Qingrong's voice, looked over, and saw a woman with a slender figure, not very old, and a face that would still grow, but she had already seen the posture of the country and the city, and saw her pious face, and seemed to be very yearning for what was about to happen......

"Is it just that people are burned alive? Won't you cry out in pain? ”

"Of course not, it's usually when it's still conscious, but it's not able to resist. However, no one will resist this kind of thing, after all, it is her honor to be able to sacrifice her life for the entire Western Regions. ”

Although Chu Jiao did not agree with this practice in her heart, after all, this is a custom of other people, and it has been like this for hundreds of years, which no one can change.

"After a while, I will go into the house alone and incense the gods of the Western Regions, you can just wait for me outside, and the people accompanying me will protect you, so you must not go wrong."

Qingrong said to Chu Jiao.

"Don't make any mistakes, after all, you're the most important thing right now."

"Okay, don't worry, but why didn't you see your husband here today? If we wait until the ceremony starts for a while, I am afraid it will not be easy to get in, and this matter will have to be done as soon as possible. ”

"He's already here, he's on his way at this time, there's no need to rush."

"I sometimes really envy your feelings, I don't know what kind of blessing he has accumulated to marry a woman like you."
