His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to investigate the source of the epidemic before, and something must have gone wrong in this regard.

Chu Jiao also hurriedly entered the palace, did not see the prince first, but first saw many people around the prince, and when she walked in, Chu Jiao found that the prince's body was full of wounds, and now the whole person is in a state of unconsciousness.

"How is he doing now?" The sage asked.

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and said with some fear: "His Royal Highness the Prince, he has lost his breath." ”

"What!"

Chu Jiao's heart chuckled, and before she could pass, the saint took two steps forward to probe the prince's pulse, and the saint's body retreated violently and almost didn't fall, at this time, the palace people hurriedly helped the saint.

The saint was heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, you must ensure the dragon body!"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a headache in such a situation: "Everything is important to ensure that the emperor's dragon body is important, come here, send the emperor back first, and let the mourning family do the rest." ”

"King Qin, I will leave this matter to you to do, I believe you will be able to investigate clearly, the prince must not die in vain, I will die in vain to the prince, I can't find out the real murderer, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace under the Yellow Spring."

Qin Shao had no choice but to deal with this matter.

Before Chu Jiao, he was able to save the prince during the plague, thinking that this was a good thing, but he didn't expect the prince to be dead now, could it be that the matter of the plague was too big, and even the prince of the dynasty couldn't be left alone?

But if this is the case, in fact, it is just a prince, wouldn't it be more dangerous.

"Your Majesty, the concubines want to do their best with the prince, please ask the emperor for permission."

Seeing Chu Jiao's sudden words, Qin Shao was taken aback: "Nonsense." ”

"Let's go along, just one point, you must ensure safety, this matter must be found out, so that I can feel at ease."

After finishing speaking, the emperor left, and the queen mother was responsible for dealing with the prince's death, the only strange thing was that the prince's side was gone.

Chu Jiao saw that everyone's attention was on the queen mother and the emperor at this time, so she quietly stepped forward to check the body of His Royal Highness the Prince, he had many wounds all over his body, not sword wounds but knife wounds, and the black wounds proved that his waist was poisonous.

When she carefully checked whether there was anything on the prince's body, she found that the prince's hand hidden under the sleeve was tightly clenched, and it did not let go even if the person had gone.

Chu Jiao took a lot of effort to break the prince's hand, and found that it was a small token, which was black all over, and there was a word engraved on it, but it didn't look like the word of the Central Plains, Chu Jiao didn't know it, she held the token tightly and put it in her cuff, this must be some important clue, otherwise, the prince would not be able to hold it tightly until he died.

The incident happened in Quanzhou, and it seems that you have to go to Quanzhou to know the truth.

The two returned to the palace, packed up their things and prepared to go out to investigate the matter.

"Do you know that it's very dangerous outside, I've told you many times not to risk yourself, this time you must not go with me, the emperor will go and say, don't follow me."

"Could it be that the prince wants to disobey the holy decree? Concubines can't afford this crime. ”

When Ruyan knew that Qin Shao was going out, she hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground: "Ruyan stayed in the palace just to be by the prince's side, and asked the prince to bring Ruyan, if Ruyan can't follow the prince, Ruyan really doesn't know what it means to live." ”

"You're not completely well yet, and it's only going to be a drag."

Redsleeves watched from the sidelines, muttering in his heart, isn't this adding to the chaos.

"No, the concubine will definitely not cause trouble to the prince, if you believe that I have caused trouble, the prince can just send the concubine away, and I will never complain."

"The incident happened suddenly, the stakes are high, this matter is not a child's play, it is not a joke, the road ahead is dangerous, you are weak and don't follow me." Qin Shao said indifferently, but there was still a little care in his tone, like tears in his eyes, he could only walk back with tears.

"She wants to come with me because she likes me, and what are you for?" Qin Shaojin Chu Jiao raised her chin and asked.

"Before the plague, I coexisted with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have long regarded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a confidant, and now that the Crown Prince has died inexplicably, I naturally will not stand idly by, although it is a daughter's family, I also have to help, that's all." Chu Jiao's expression was calm, and her eyes were calm and she couldn't see anything wrong.

Qin Shao looked at her so calmly, and suddenly lost interest and let go of her, and ordered his subordinates to pack their luggage.

The Prime Minister knew that his beloved daughter was going to go far away, and he was very worried, knowing that he couldn't stop Chu Jiao, but he also told him a thousand times.

Just after night, the two of them set off with soldiers and horses, Quanzhou belongs to the border location, even if it is 800 miles urgent, it will take more than half a month, so the two do not dare to be sloppy, because if they are a day late, they will miss a lot of information.

After walking for two or three days, Qin Shao Chujiao found that there seemed to be someone following behind him.

"Come out." Qin Shao said

I saw a woman slowly walking out of the thick grass, and everyone looked at it like smoke.

"Lord Wang, you just take Ruyan with you, Ruyan will definitely not cause you trouble begging the prince."

Ruyan said and knelt down again with the appearance of a tearful beauty, no one can refuse, not to mention that it has been out for two or three days now, don't look at it is only two or three days, everyone is day and night, and they dare not stop for a moment, it is not easy for Ruyan to follow here, if you send people back now, you have to send more people to escort her, so it is also very laborious?

"Take her with you, I think having a companion on the road can relieve loneliness." Chu Jiao sat in the carriage and said to the people outside.

Originally, Qin Shao didn't plan to let her follow at all, but she had already said so, she had no choice but to let her, she followed along, and sat in the carriage as she wished, but Chu Jiao's eyes never let her go, she was just a weak woman, why did she insist on following him out, I had never seen such an urgent desire to see the prince when I was in the temple before.

"Thank you sister Ruyan, it's not my sister's kind words, where can Ruyan follow the prince, please don't dislike Ruyan, Ruyan will definitely serve my sister and the prince well."

Red Sleeves was also in the carriage and was disgusted when he heard this: "You are weak and have to come out, isn't it trouble?" ”

Ruyan's face turned red: "I'm sorry, I also know that this matter is my arbitrary behavior, but I'm also worried that something will happen to the prince, and His Royal Highness the prince will not be able to be safe and sound, let alone the prince, and please ask my sister to be considerate of my sister's heart,"

Ruyan deserves to be like smoke, saying a beautiful word, Chu Jiao was too lazy to close her eyes.

The group walked like this for half a month, and Chu Jiao's body was okay, but she couldn't bear such a toss.

During the day, you can see that Ruyan's face is very bad, but Ruyan has always seemed to be holding back, and in the middle of the night, Chu Jiao can always hear the sound of vomiting outside, and she is not used to the tiring journey after all.

"Eat this, it will make your body better." Chu Jiao said and handed over a pill.

Ruyan glanced at it, and hurriedly took it and said, "I'm sorry, my sister let you see me like this, I took the water bag for a while, rinsed my mouth, and took my sister's medicine, thank you sister." ”

This sister is long and sister is short, Chu Jiao can't say anything more, so she can only nod.

"Miss, what are you helping her do, she didn't want to come with herself, who is to blame for vomiting and uncomfortable now?"

"Okay, don't talk about it, maybe she might have her own ideas when she came over." Chu Jiao said indifferently, without the look of concern just now.

If the smoke is uncomfortable, it will be uncomfortable, and if the body is not good, it will be bad.

Along the way, he served tea and water, and even the work of collecting firewood could serve the prince and Chu Jiao, but there was no ambiguity at all.

"If you're sick, you can rest more, not to mention that you have to travel like this, don't worry me." Qin Shao said.

Ruyan's face turned red when she heard this, and she quickly nodded and said, "It's okay, it's good that Ruyan can come with her." Chu Jiao, who was not far away, looked at what the two were talking about, and moved her gaze to the side.

Tossing for a long time finally arrived in Quanzhou, Quanzhou's steward is Shen Zishan, because it is located on the border, so Quanzhou often has foreign people to come, whether it is mutual trade or how, the scene is still prosperous, the people on the street are full of smiling faces, and they are some rare things that are rarely seen in the capital.

"Shen Zishan knocked on the prince, the prince is a thousand years old." Shen Zishan heard that the King of Qin was here, and he hurriedly came out to greet him, and the incident in which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured happened in Quanzhou, and he could not escape the blame.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince traveled secretly, the people of Quanzhou were not disturbed to the point that they were still rich.

On the way here, Chu Jiao also investigated this Shen Zishan, and was ordered to manage Quanzhou for more than ten years.

Quanzhou is so rich here, looking at the people living and working in peace and contentment, you can know what this person is like.

He is a clean official, and what he says is him, he is upright and upright, and no matter what matters come to him, he will be meticulously handled.

"Lord Shen, get up quickly, you also know what I came here for this time, so you must keep a low profile and try not to be known by others as much as possible." Qin Shao said.

"The subordinates understand that the subordinates have arranged a place for the two of them, and please don't dislike them."

Chu Jiao and the others stayed, and the first thing when they arrived here, Chu Jiao just wanted to find someone, that is, chasing the wind by Yao Feng's side.

"You must find him, you must see people alive and dead to see corpses." Chu Jiao commanded at the bottom.

Because the two are husband and wife, they are naturally arranged together.

Ruyan knocked lightly at this time: "Sister, can I come in?" ”
