The emperor said, with a complicated expression: "I will investigate this matter well, he saved me desperately, and I will not forget it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

When Concubine Qi heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although her heart was still in chaos.

"Your Majesty......" The queen was upset when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but the emperor glanced at her a little impatiently, and said, "Okay, this matter will end here, and no one will say it again." ”

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

The emperor had never treated her like this, so it was obvious that he was really angry. It's all because of the second prince. The queen tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Then, Leng Sensen glared at Concubine Qi and Shen Nianzhen, his eyes focused on Shen Nianzhen's face for a quarter of an hour, and then led the people to leave in a mighty manner.

Only Shen Nianzhen and Concubine Qi were left in the imperial garden, as well as the palace people and eunuchs who were cleaning up.

The two of them didn't stay long, and hurried over to see Rong Chen.

Fortunately, Rong Chen's injury was not very serious, but it was on the shoulder, and when Shen Nianzhen and the others arrived, the imperial doctor had already bandaged his wound, and Rong Chen was lying on the bed resting with his eyes closed.

"Chen'er ......"

As soon as Concubine Qi saw him, she immediately burst into tears, crying with self-blame and remorse.

This time, she was the one who hurt Rong Chen.

"Mother...... Now you finally believe that Erchen is not lying, right? Rong Chen raised his head and saw Concubine Qi, and a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his pale face.

Concubine Qi's heart was dripping blood, and her son's seemingly accountable words were like the sharpest knives, just a simple sentence stabbed her with blood.

But who is to blame for this? She did it all!

"Chen'er, the mother concubine will not do anything in the future, and she doesn't care, just eat my vegetarian food and recite my heart sutra...... Concubine Qi cried: "It's the mother concubine who is not good, and she has harmed you like this." ”

"When the mother concubine does things in the future, she must think more carefully." After Rong Chen said this, he closed his eyes weakly: "Mother, my son is a little tired, and you have suffered a lot of fright today, so go back and rest first, and let Nianzhen accompany me." ”

Concubine Qi really wanted to say that she was not tired, and she was willing to stay with him!

But when she heard the last sentence Rong Chen said, she didn't say anything, put away the disappointment in her heart, nodded, slowly got up from the hospital bed, turned her head to look at Shen Nianzhen, who had been standing silently on the side since she came in, and said with a wry smile: "Nianzhen, come and sit." ”

"Mother." Shen Nianzhen slowly stepped forward when he heard this.

At this time, she saw Rong Chen, the imperial doctor had already bandaged it, she couldn't see the injury on his body, but smelling the thick blood in the air, and Rong Chen's pale face, she knew that the injury was very serious, and the circles under her eyes were red at the moment.

Rong Chen's injury was a result she didn't expect.

If Gu could anticipate all this, she would definitely not stay by Concubine Qi's side!

"Nian Zhen...... You...... Take good care of him, and the palace will go back first. Concubine Qi finally couldn't stay any longer, and explained to Shen Nianzhen, and then left with the palace people with red eyes.

In the main hall, there were finally only two people left, Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen.

Shen Nianzhen looked at him and burst into tears, I don't know whether to complain or say distressedly: "Why are you so stupid...... The other princes are hiding outside, and you are the only one who rushes forward! You don't want to die! Don't you know that you've just been injured and can't use force anymore! ”

"Nian Zhen, in that situation at that time, there was no way for this palace to be indifferent."

Rong Chen held her hand with difficulty with the uninjured hand, smiled lightly, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "Don't worry, such a small injury is nothing to this palace, as long as you are okay with your mother, this palace is willing to do anything." “

"Your Highness still cares about Your Majesty."

Shen Nianzhen looked at him and said, "None of us thought that the purpose of Jingxue's entry into the palace was to assassinate the emperor, I thought, I thought...... She really wanted to assassinate your mother, and it was just a joke before, but I didn't expect ......"

It's a prophecy!

"Nian Zhen, it's all over." Rong Chen held her hand and said with a relieved expression: "That Jingxue is dead, and no one will hurt us anymore, this is a good thing." As he spoke, he smiled lowly and added, "Don't worry, don't delay our marriage cave room." “

"When is it? You're still kidding! ”

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, she couldn't help but reach out and slap Rong Chen's hand holding her, and then asked with concern, "Is the injury really not serious?" You didn't lie to me! ”

"It's not serious, don't worry." Rong Chen smiled and comforted her.

In fact, although his injury this time was not life-threatening, Jingxue tried his best when he assassinated, and the wound was still very deep. The doctor said that it is impossible to fully recover without two or three months.

Rong Chen didn't want Shen Nianzhen to worry about her, so he deliberately pretended to be very relaxed.

But he ignored one point, after all, Shen Nianzhen had been learning medical skills from Doctor Ge's side for a whole year, and she might not be able to take the pulse and treat people now, but as for the severity of the injury, she could still see it, even if she didn't have to take off her clothes to see the wound herself, she could guess what the injury was.

In order not to let Rong Chen know, she had already guessed that the injury was serious, Shen Nianzhen could only hold back the worry and self-blame in her heart, and talk to Rong Chen with a relaxed look on her face.

The two of them are hiding from each other for each other.

When it was about to get dark, Rong Chen asked someone to tell the emperor that he was going out of the palace to recuperate.

The emperor directly refused, saying that he would leave the palace again tomorrow and stay in the palace today, he was really dangerous and should not move when he was injured.

In the end, Rong Chen accepted the emperor's kindness.

And Shen Nianzhen stayed to take care of him, sent someone to send a message to the house, and did not leave the palace.

Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

The emperor held his forehead, his face showing deep anxiety, and his brows furrowed.

Today's assassination in the Imperial Garden is really weird.

Just an hour ago, the queen chased after her relentlessly, citing a lot of evidence to prove that Jingxue, the protagonist of the assassination, colluded with Concubine Rongchen and Qi to kill the emperor.

The emperor felt that all this was too ridiculous, what good was it for Rong Chen to kill him? Can I get the throne? No way.

"The second prince is just to ask His Highness for gratitude!" The queen said with a look of resentment: "Your Majesty, think about it, on that occasion, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was desperate to save him, isn't Your Majesty grateful to him?" In order to gain a little more favor from you, he did not hesitate to arrange this assassination, putting His Majesty in danger, and his heart can be punished! ”

The emperor was speechless when he was asked, and there was a trace of doubt about Rong Chen in his heart.

But at this moment, when he was alone, he tried to recall the scene at that time, but he didn't think so in his heart.

"The second child's leg was almost abolished, and he had already lost his martial arts, this time he finally got up with great difficulty, how could he choose to conspire with Jingxue to arrange the assassination? He is not afraid of an accident, he himself was stabbed to death by Jingxue? A person can do anything for favor and power, but no one will plan these at the expense of their lives! ”

"Because these two qualities can never be found in a person." The emperor said to himself: "If Rong Chen is smart enough and sparing his life enough, he will not take such a big risk." “

Thinking like this, the emperor's face gradually softened.

Thinking of the scene where Rong Chen was desperate to save him at that time, his face softened again.

However, thinking of the three princes and the fifth prince who were far away at that time, the emperor's face showed a touch of disappointment.

He defended them with his own words: "The third and fifth children are still too young, and they have no experience in this kind of thing, so they should have been stupid at the time, so they didn't rush to save me." ”

Such a reason is also said in the past, but it is really ridiculous. 29GG

Soon, the emperor noticed this, and he couldn't help but show a self-deprecating wry smile: "What can you do if you don't think like this?" ”

After all, the candidate for the crown prince has been decided, and he is the third prince.

The queen used Jingxue's assassination to be aggressive, not to convict Rongchen of the crime, but to force him to quickly establish the crown prince.

"It's time to make a prince, it's been delayed long enough." The Emperor sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Gao Gonggong hurriedly rushed in from the main hall outside, panting and asking him for peace: "The old slave has inquired clearly!" ”

"Say!" The emperor waved his hand: "Get up." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's like this." Gao Gong thanked him fairly, stood up and took a breath, and then spoke: "The old slave inquired that His Royal Highness the Second Prince had killed that Jingxue many times, but it was unsuccessful because of Concubine Qi's obstruction. ”

He slowly told about the entanglement between Jingxue and Rong Chen, until Jingxue entered the palace: "Concubine Qi Niangniang is probably not angry that His Royal Highness loves Miss Shen, and feels that His Royal Highness has married a daughter-in-law, so he forgot about her mother, so as soon as he was angry, he brought Jingxue into the palace, and this is what happened later." ”

What he said was very vague, which saved Concubine Qi a lot of face.

But how smart is the emperor, he can't guess? Hearing this, he snorted coldly and said speechlessly: "Concubine Qi is a lot older, and she is still jealous of a teenage girl, and she doesn't know how to blush!" ”

For this concubine who only knows how to cry and cry, and has a sad face all day long, he is completely disgusted.

"Your Majesty, Second Highness is really innocent, he has always tried to find a way to solve Jingxue, he thinks she has another purpose, but she has never succeeded." Gao Gonggong didn't answer the phone and said something else.

The emperor agreed, he nodded and said: "In this way, the second child is loyal, and Concubine Qi is really too confused, which made that Jingxue take advantage of the loophole and almost succeeded." ”

Thinking that the beautiful woman kept creating opportunities to approach him, the purpose was to assassinate, and the emperor's heart was cold.

At the same time, he also hated Concubine Qi's stupidity.

"It's the second child's mother after all, and I'm not easy to deal with, this time for the sake of the second child's face, I forgave her......"

"Your Majesty, what ...... Aren't you going to reward the second prince? Father-in-law Gao asked in a low voice on the side.

As soon as the words came out, seeing the expressionless appearance of the emperor, he felt a pang in his heart.

It's early! What the emperor is thinking, he doesn't know yet! What to do if you guess wrong!

Sure enough, the emperor leaned back in his chair and said after a while: "It's a pity for the second child after all, there is such a mother who is even tired, even if I want to favor him, I can't do it, just follow the previous plan!" The crown prince, or the third ......"

Gao Gonggong listened quietly, and a pity welled up in his heart.

Originally, between the second prince and the third prince, the emperor preferred the second prince.

But this series of events happened recently, coupled with the queen's secret gathering of ministers and coercion, as well as today's events, and finally the emperor strengthened his faith.

He wants to make the three princes crown princes.

It can be said that the road to the supremacy of the second prince was destroyed by Concubine Qi single-handedly, I wonder if Concubine Qi will regret it when she knows this result?

But now, it's too late to say anything.

……、

Sure enough, the next day, Rong Chen came out of the palace quickly and returned to his own mansion to recuperate.

"Tut-tut, you are injured every day, the old wounds have not healed, new injuries are added, and you will always hover on the edge of life and death, how can people like you protect our family Nianzhen? Why don't you do well, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, withdraw the marriage contract, and let my family choose a promising young man again and live a safe and stable life? ”

As soon as the second prince left the palace, Doctor Ge came to the door, and as soon as he saw Rong Chen, he sneered at him.

"How do you talk!" When Dongchen and Beiyang and several other guards heard this, they all looked angry: "Our Highness doesn't want to be hurt either!" He's already so sad, why do you laugh at him! ”

"I laugh at him? I just feel sorry for my family! Doctor Ge stiffened his neck and said, "She's still so young!" Is it really good to marry someone who is scarred? If she dies one day, she will have to be a widow and remarry......"

"Doctor Ge, please rest assured, Nianzhen will never have the opportunity to remarry as a widow." At this time, Rong Chen finally spoke, he was not angry, but said with a serious expression: "This palace will work hard to live a long life even if it is for the sake of reading the truth and for your words." ”

Divine Doctor Ge looked at his pale face, but his expression was determined, and he couldn't help but snort.

"You're just hard-mouthed! Wait and see, if you are injured once or twice, then you will be a Da Luo Immortal, and you will not be able to save your life......"

"Master, what's wrong?" Shen Nianzhen walked in from outside with a plate of cut fruits and refreshments, and looked at Doctor Ge and Rong Chen with some confusion: "I heard you arguing from a long distance......

"Nope! There were no quarrels. Rong Chen and Doctor Ge spoke in unison.

Shen Nianzhen looked at the two of them, put down the things, and frowned slightly: "Master, Your Highness was injured just now, and his body is very weak, don't bully him during this time, what do you want to eat, just tell me, I'll do it for you, I just have time to ......"

Hearing this, Doctor Ge's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, good!" ”

In more than twenty days, Shen Nianzhen will get married, and after she marries into the heavily guarded Second Prince's Mansion, it will be difficult for him to see her again, let alone eat those meals and pastries made by Shen Nianzhen himself......"

Alas. It's all to blame Rong Chen! Why should you advance your wedding date?

Thinking of this, Doctor Ge glared at Rong Chen fiercely.

Rong Chen misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained: "Master rest assured, this palace will try its best not to get hurt in the future, and rush up without thinking about it when encountering things, just to read the truth, this palace will also work hard to live a long life." ”

"What are you talking about? Your Highness, you could have lived a long life. Shen Nianzhen looked inexplicable when he heard this.

Rong Chen smiled and said: "Nian Zhen, it's nothing, you just need to know that this palace's heart for you will never change." ”

"Humph! Sweet talk! ”

Doctor Ge snorted, reached out directly, picked up the things that Shen Nianzhen had brought over, and turned around and went out.

"Master, I'll send you." Shen Nianzhen looked helpless, and chased after Doctor Ge out of the door.

Rong Chen looked at her slender back, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Although he was injured, but at this moment, everything has rained and sunny, and the wind and waves are calm, and he will definitely be able to recover before the wedding.

Rong Chen is very confident in himself.

Within a few days, what happened at the palace banquet spread throughout Shangjing, and many people in the streets and alleys praised Rong Chen for saving the emperor at the palace banquet and killing the assassin with his own hands.

Suddenly, the attitude of the people of Shangjing towards the second prince changed.

Time passed in one day.

When there were still three days before the wedding of Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, a major event suddenly happened in Shangjing.

The elderly emperor suddenly announced in the court that the three princes were crowned princes, and the altar was opened on the same day, and the temple was sued, and the three princes Rongyao became the prince of the beautiful scenery, and the limelight overshadowed everyone for a while.

The object of the people's discussion was immediately changed to the crown prince, as for the second prince, it has long been forgotten by the people, and as for what he has done, no one has remembered it for a long time.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, Shen Nianzhen looked at Rong Chen, who had taken off the bandage and recovered well from the scab of the wound, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the person who became the crown prince in the end was the third prince, which is really surprising." ”

What is even more surprising is that although he set up a prince, he did not appoint a crown princess, and Su Muwan was registered as the prince's side concubine on the day of the ceremony. The crown princess is still vacant. ”

Rong Chen smiled faintly when he heard this, and today, when he heard the name Su Muwan, there was no slightest wave in his heart on his face, as if it was an irrelevant person: "That's because the young lady of the Qi State Mansion has not yet married." ”
