"Stop! Where did you come back from, where were you last night and all night? ”

The palace maid He Xi was caught by Fu'an as soon as she returned to the hospital, she turned around with a stiff smile, and without saying a word, she knelt down and begged for mercy first: "Father-in-law Fu, the slave maid has been in the room last night, and I just heard that the emperor fainted at night...... So the slave and maid were terrified......"

Fu'an looked at her, with some thought in his eyes, and was about to inquire about it, when he heard movement in the warm pavilion, he hurriedly turned around to leave, and the ghost sent an order, "When the emperor wakes up, he will punish you, and now follow up, the warm pavilion needs manpower ......"

He Xi trembled, his eyes were frightened, and he suddenly looked up, but Fu'an turned around and left, she almost collapsed on the spot, and moved slowly to the warm pavilion with a half-sound, looking at the people who came in and out a little sneakily, and finally the probe went in.

"Old Lady Zhu, when will the emperor wake up?" Fu'an stood in front of the bed, his face full of worry, and he was tired all night. Old Lady Zhu sat on a low stool in front of the bed, collecting needles, sighed lightly when she heard the words, and stroked her beard with her free hand, "I can wake up in half an hour at most, fortunately it did not cause old diseases, and I should pay attention to my emotions during this time and never be angry again." ”

Fu'an nodded and said casually, "Is the medicine boiled?" Serve it up ......"

Immediately, a palace attendant came in, holding a steaming decoction in his hand, Old Lady Zhu got up and got out of the way, and came to the door with the medicine box on his back, and He Xi saw him retreat with a pale face, and took three or five steps backwards before stopping.

Doctor Zhu, who was quite tired after the acupuncture, came out with her waist hunched over, but she glanced at her in the afterglow, didn't care, and slowly walked towards the gate of the hospital. His heart trembled violently, her face was full of anxiety, and she was deeply aware that she had to flee this place quickly, whether she would die or not......

Naturally, they can't disappear for no reason, otherwise they will find themselves and be too implicated, but if the emperor is not there, how can the prince spare the people in their palace?

Staring at his feet, He Xi fell into an unprecedented deadlock, if he hadn't gotten up to look at the emperor at the vigil, he wouldn't have seen the murderer doing his hands and feet, and he wouldn't have been in the desperate situation now...... It was also at this moment that I gritted my teeth and hated the person behind it.

"What are you doing standing here? Come in and clean up the ground......" Fu'an went out and scolded loudly, and then left in a hurry.

Then there were guards left and right at the door, and many people were added to the gate of the courtyard, and the whole palace was under full martial law, and the palace people were forbidden to move around.

He Xi entered the door nervously, sprinkled a lot of medicinal juice on the ground, the rich bitter smell of medicine came to her nose, she carefully moved over, took a rag and poured a basin of water, squatted and knelt to wipe the ground, peeking at the person on the bed from time to time, and prayed over and over again: Don't wake up!

She is just a little person, like an ant, just hoping to be able to escape, away from all dangers, to go home and continue to live with her family, she never expected herself to turn over and be the master, God is fair, give and take back what at the same time, she has very little to have...... The thoughts were so fluctuating that he didn't pay attention to the bed, and the person who slowly opened his eyes saw her as soon as he turned his eyes.

"Ahem......" The emperor frowned, and was just about to reprimand, but the people in his sight were frightened by his light cough, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, and hurriedly turned around again, rushed to the head of the bed, and bit his lower lip violently, tears slipped down suddenly, He Xi stretched his eyes wide and began to kowtow, "Your Majesty, the slave is wiping the floor...... The slave died last night and really didn't know anything...... Ask the emperor for mercy and ask the emperor to spare the lives of slaves and maids! ”

"Knock knock!"

The emperor is not a cruel person, and he will not kill an innocent palace maid for no reason to vent his anger, so he raised his hand and pinched the swollen and painful forehead, "Let's wipe it down and get the board." ”

The corners of He Xi's mouth twitched, the bitten lip skin was a little stinging, the tears in his eyes kept flowing, quite a sad touch, he kowtowed three times in a row, the hands holding the ground trembled violently, the rag was twisted by five fingers, and his voice was trembling: "Emperor Xie...... Slave and maid will go down ......"

She crawled backwards to the door, and the emperor squinted at her with her head down, unable to see her face, but could see her tears.

I can't help but feel a little strange, are you so afraid of death? Until the room was silent, he sighed faintly.

"Someone."

When two guards came in and knelt on their knees, the emperor said in a thick voice, "Go to the prince, someone wants to harm me." ”

###

Pu Yangxu in the East Palace had just prepared an excerpt, and as soon as he put away the pen, he heard someone talking outside, Chen Luo waited at the screen, and sent the eunuch to come in to speak, and Jiang Ke, the third envoy, asked to see.

Pu Yangxu put down his pen and read it carefully, before he took the official seal and stamped it, straightened up and said, "Xuan." ”

When he walked indoors, the attendant put on a new tea snack and added a stove next to the desk.

Jiang Ke strode forward, his face was calm, he gave a big salute first, and thanked the prince for allowing him to take leave, which was supposed to be a month's leave, because there was an accident on the road, and it took two more months to go back and forth.

"Get up, it's been nearly three months since I went out this time, and my mind is wild." Pu Yangxu's voice was smiling, and his attitude was not like that of a monarch and a minister, but a little more casual.

Jiang Ke got up and smiled too, "Naturally, it's not as boring as Beijing, and what I saw and heard on the road is also novel, if it weren't for this official position, I wouldn't want to come back." ”

Pu Yangxu looked at him, and his mind moved, "You are going back to Shudong this time, and the palace heard that the perennial flood season in Shudong is serious, but is it true?" ”

Jiang Ke bowed and said, "Weichen entered the palace for this matter, His Royal Highness asked, and Zhenghe, what did Weichen see this time...... Zhizhou in eastern Shudong is in the year of great floods, and the people are struggling to make a living, and they are starving all over the wilderness......"

"Bang!"

Pu Yangxu slapped the table angrily when he heard this, and casually threw a fold to the ground: "What a patrol of the two provinces of Shudong!" The palace asked him to inspect the people's situation, and it took more than half a year to go on three folds, and the return was good or bad, the five grains were abundant, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment......"

Jiang Ke opened his mouth and swallowed his words, it was not suitable to interject at this time.

After a long period of anger, Pu Yangxu calmed down, raised his hand and pinched his forehead, nothing has been going well recently. Jiang Ke stepped forward and said with concern, "Your Highness, you have to take care of your health...... What's wrong with your feet?! ”

When he asked, he reacted, he was not wearing shoes, he just stood up with too much force, forgot that his foot was still injured, stepped on the ground, broke open the wound, and the oozing blood stained the bandaged gauze red.

Pu Yangxu sat back on the soft chair helplessly, his entire left foot was numb, Jiang Ke stepped forward in time, and without waiting for him to speak, he knelt on the ground and lifted his robe to take a look.

"Your Highness, how did you hurt the soles of your feet?!" Jiang Ke was shocked, who could be so bold to hurt the noble and incomparable prince? Could it be that during this period of his absence, what happened to him?

Pu Yangxu didn't answer, obviously unwilling to mention this matter.

"Uh-huh." He only snorted, took the medicine and gauze from Xiao Muzi, knelt side by side with Jiang Ke, took apart the gauze for him with a light movement, checked it carefully, and reapplied the medicine.

"Yuzhi, after the palace took power, he was immersed in state affairs all day long, in the end, he could only hear it ringing in his ears, and he could see the people who were handed it under his nose, but he didn't know if the people who were out of sight were in dire straits...... "Pu Yangxu leaned back in his chair a little tiredly, "This time you went back to your hometown and asked you to survey the eastern patrol route, how is the situation?" ”

Yu Zhi is the word of the Jiang Branch, because of the lack of fire in the five elements, so Yu is the word. Jiang Ke did not answer immediately, it is not a trivial matter to go on patrol, the prince governs the country, which is obvious to all in the court, since three months ago, Pu Yangxu suddenly told him to tour the east...... Although he only said that he was inspecting the people's situation, he felt that it was not so simple.

The prince only went north last year, and he is going to tour east again this year? Today, the emperor is in bed, his back injury has not healed for a long time, he only got the wind before entering the palace today, the emperor also had a head syndrome yesterday, fainted, and woke up this morning, and made trouble all day...... This trip to Beijing, I'm afraid it's going to change.

The turbulent waves in Jiang Ke's heart had already turned into a trickle in the past three months.

"Your Royal Highness, Emperor Renwu reigned for forty-three years, and had two southern tours, both of which were to take the official road, establish a palace along the way, take a dragon boat in the Sanjiang River Basin to the north and south fortresses of Zhongtong, and finally land at the junction of Zhizhou, Tongzhou, Liuzhou, and the junction in Jiangnan, and arrive at the last palace in Jiangnan." Jiang Ke's wrist flipped, flexibly tied a slipknot, and told the story, "Don't use any more force, Weichen saw that the wound was not shallow, and it would take a month to heal." ”

What he didn't say was that he could see at a glance that this wound was not an ordinary bump, it was clearly a sharp weapon injury, and it didn't look like a knife...... But he chose another path, and the difference between before and after is simply unimaginable. ”

This is unimaginable four words, which makes Pu Yangxu have infinite imagination, he raised his hand, stopped Jiang Ke's words, he wants to experience it for himself, what kind of differences can make Jiang Ke use unimaginable four words.

"You do things, this palace has always been at ease," Pu Yangxu's face was a little pale, and his left hand rested on the table and knocked, "This palace originally planned, you will return in early October, and this palace will be slightly in service before the end of the year, but the previous Xirong envoys came to visit the shrine delayed your travel plan, and now if you leave Beijing, go to Chongshan Temple to worship the matter ......"

The plan can't catch up with the changes, this eastern tour is going to be postponed, Jiang Ke saw that his eyebrows were dark, and he didn't seem to want to postpone it for too long, so he tentatively said, "Prince, today is only the middle of November, and the anniversary festival of the first emperor was done as usual last year, and now it can be used as a regular reason to hold a sacrifice in Chongshan Temple in April next year." ”

Needless to say, there is a big sacrifice every year. In this way, the eastern tour can be planned from the end of the year to April next year.

Pu Yangxu smiled when he heard this, and nodded his head, "That's very good, you go and arrange it." ”
