Chapter 198: The two clashed
The prince thought that Lu Xiaowan was also a healer, and the imperial doctor in front of him might not be as useful as her, so he glanced at him, and his subordinates brought Qin Cuihua over.
Lu Xiaowan pretended not to pay attention, continued to maintain her indifference, and then hid her true emotions, Qin Cuihua's eyes were a little sore the moment she got out of the carriage, she never thought that Qin Cuihua would be involved, let alone that the prince would be so shameless.
"Your Highness, my mother can go to Jiangnan, and I will enter the capital with you, and I will also be an obedient chess piece, isn't it?" Lu Xiaowan walked towards the crown prince, and the short sword in her hand was covered in her sleeve.
What he wants is Lu Xiaowan's complete obedience, he doesn't want this kind of thing in front of him, it's not a good thing to have a poisonous snake next to him that wants to bite at any time, for example, she has a short sword in her hand and wants to kill herself.
"Why bother?" The crown prince put a sword on Qin Cuihua's neck, the blade of that sword was very sharp, and it was easy to cut off people's heads, and it was effortless to use him to kill people in the past.
"Why bother, isn't the people's daughter already cooperating with His Highness? Why should I have my mother as a proton? ”
"Proton is not used like this, the short sword in Miss Lu's hand should be very hot, why don't you take it out and let me see if it is made by a famous artist, and if you have the opportunity to show it in the future, after all, Miss Lu is a person who gathers wealth."
The volume of the short sword is not too big, he can see that his kung fu is not very weak, Lu Xiaowan unwillingly took out the short sword and threw it on the ground, the prince immediately put down the sword in his hand, and ordered someone to take the imperial doctor's medical box, the most obvious meaning is to let her treat Shen Si.
Shen Sichai is a general, his reputation in Beijing is very high, and the reputation in the southeast is also very good, Shen Sichai saw Lu Xiaowan for the first time, and felt that the name was very familiar.
"Miss Lu is a bandit in the bandit mountain area?"
"No, I'm good friends with bandits, and I robbed the prince of grain and grass some time ago!"
The prince's face was a little bad when he heard this, those jewels were used for grain and grass, and if he didn't get them, he let Qingfeng Lou and those rich merchants run for nothing, which was really embarrassing, and the soldiers transferred from the southeast were not useful.
"Miss Lu should be careful when she speaks, just what you just said, I can make my younger brother have a reputation as a bandit."
Lu Xiaowan didn't care about this, the capital must have received the news at this time, and Qin Cuihua felt that Shen Sichai was very familiar with this person, he must have seen it before, if he guessed correctly, he had also worked with Lu Xiaowan's father.
Capital
Xue Muyan walked into the dormitory, Ning Guifei's eyes were blank, she had been accompanying the emperor's corpse, and she was reluctant to leave when she heard movement at the door.
"Mother, Your Majesty has died."
"Shut up, he is not Your Majesty, he is your father, you can only call me Mother Concubine today." There was a heartache in her heart, there were no tears in her eyes, and she looked at the pillar next to her and felt very beautiful, if she ended her life like this.
Xue Muyan seemed to have guessed Ning Guifei's state of mind at the moment, and knew what she was going to do next, "What do you guys look at, Ning Guifei is too sad, and she doesn't help her down, no one is allowed to leave Ning Guifei without my order." ”
Ning Guifei stood up by herself, ordered someone to bring the mourning clothes over, and then personally put on the outer layer of clothes for him, and took a closer look at his face.
"When Your Majesty left, he talked about you, saying that the road was paved for you."
"Let's all go out, I have something to say to the concubine."
The words between the two of them, as cronies, can't be heard, and the latter ones are even more so, as for Gonggong Yang, who knows what his fate is, he has been waiting for Xue Muyan to come back.
"The prince doesn't have to worry, His Majesty's decisions have been decided, and if there is really anything wrong, there will be a chance to make up for it in the future."
What Gonggong Yang said before going out made Ning Guifei's eyes have a trace of brilliance, and then said all the words that the emperor said in front of him, and Xue Muyan didn't do this to listen to what the emperor said.
"Your Majesty's body is fine, there is little hope for the prince to come back, mother is afraid that there will be a fierce battle tonight, you have to be prepared, or leave here immediately, I can send you to the border."
Ning Guifei shook her head, after Xue Muyan successfully ascended the throne, she would naturally have her way to go, her father had already arranged some arrangements outside, and Lin Xiang, who had not appeared for a long time, also came out.
"I know you just want to accompany him now, but the situation in front of you is not good, in case there is nothing else, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
Ning Guifei sat there, waiting for the people from the Ministry of Rites to come to see him, but unfortunately the people from the Ministry of Rites had not yet come, and according to the usual speculation, Lin Xiang deliberately delayed the time.
"My mother has made many decisions in her life, none of them are for him, when you were lost, I tried my best to please him in order to keep it, and then there was news that I simply closed the door and didn't see it, pretending to be provoked, and I didn't want to see him when he was sick and dying, for fear of listening to him, but it hurt you." said that the tears fell, her life was too bitter, and it may have been a mistake to enter the palace back then.
The story of her and Her Majesty is too sad, Xue Muyan doesn't understand it yet, Lu Xiaowan's entry into the palace is also like this for him, after a long time, there are more women in the palace, and the feelings between them will slowly dissipate, as the owner of the royal family, he has too many choices.
"Mother, rest assured that you will not be sad for decades to come, and I will definitely be able to make a good choice."
When they spoke, the officials of the Ministry of Rites rarely began to speak, and several imperial doctors came in to check the layout of the room, and after seeing the medicine that the emperor drank before his death, as well as the pills he took, which were non-toxic and life-prolonging, they stepped aside.
"Niangniang, the queen is gone, you are the highest ranking in the six palaces, so please arrange the next things, don't be too sad and break your body." The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at Ning Guifei, her face was snow-white, with tears in her eyes, she was obviously overly sad, and she was desperately suppressing herself, looking very pitiful.
The palace maids had already changed into mourning clothes, and came up to help Ning Guifei aside, the ministers at the door stepped forward to bow down, and some old princes outside the palace also came today, glanced at the remains, sighed deeply, and didn't know what they were feeling.
Xue Muyan stood aside and didn't cry, but her eyes were a little red, Ning Guifei knew that if she didn't cry at the moment, she would have tears, so she ordered someone to quietly give Xue Muyan the peppercorn powder that had been prepared.
"Your Majesty!" The sound of crying made the people in the dormitory a little startled, and when they looked back, they saw that it was a concubine who had just entered the palace, no wonder they were so sad, Xue Muyan thought so.
The rest of the ministers didn't know whether they were really sad, or because they were worried about the uncertain future of the emperor's death, they all shed tears, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites buried the emperor.
Everything was ready before it was sent to the ancestral temple, where the monks had already begun to chant sutras.
The minister stayed up for a long time, and he didn't dare to speak there, and he was very cautious when he just left the palace, and he could more or less read the word prince in eye contact and lip language.
The white cloth outside the imperial city told the people that the emperor had died, and all the shops were closed instantly, and white cloths were hung everywhere for mourning, and the traders who came and went went home, and it was reasonable that they could not eat meat at home these days.
"My lord, Your Majesty is gone like this, we don't have any news at all, if we can know what Your Majesty said in front of you, maybe there will be some breakthroughs, but in front of you."
"What do you want to say, no one has come out to say the holy decree yet, Fu Zheng will take the holy decree and tell you adults tomorrow morning, what are you worried about? Could it be that this Xue family's country can still be given to you for no reason? ”
The adults also think that this is the case, and no matter what they do, the two people in the upper position will not let go of themselves easily, so why speculate on their ending here, it's just boring.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come back, and in the end, His Majesty didn't say that the position of the Crown Prince was abolished, so we can't stand in line at will."
Master Dong looked at the idiots in front of him speechlessly, just that old thing Fu Zheng has such a good relationship with the old thing of the Ning family, how could he easily help the prince, and in the end, it was not Jiangshan who gave it to the prince.
The crown prince was not in a hurry at all when he heard the news, his position could not have been given to him by the holy decree, and Lin Xiang in the capital had no chance to change it.
"Your Highness, there is no problem with my injuries." Shen Sichai also knew the news that the emperor had died, and he had just looked up to the sky in his tent and sighed for a while, but when he came to see the prince, he saw that he was full of unintentionality, and it seemed that he had already rebelled against His Majesty.
The prince who was in the middle of closing his eyes was immediately full of grief, and there were some red bloodshots in his eyes, and he looked like he was overly sad, and after Shen Si glanced at it, he felt that what he had just seen was fake, otherwise how could he become like this so quickly.
"General Shen doesn't have to be like this, since he is injured and rests there, I know that the complicated situation in the capital cannot be solved in a moment or two, and now I want to go back to see my father and the emperor for the last time." said that he would cry sadly when he forgot it, and the whole scene looked extremely moving, but Shen Si chased such a scene, and he didn't eat this set at all.
"Your Royal Highness must protect your body, Your Majesty has not yet come out of the funeral, you can still see him for the last time when you rush back to the capital, I looked at the map, the rest of the road does not stop day and night, I can arrive early tomorrow morning, if you hurry up and whip up tonight, you can arrive tonight."
The few eunuchs and strategists in the back couldn't say a word, the prince just gave him the stairs, how could he still pick the prince? And the adjutant also saw that something was wrong.
"Your Highness is overly sad, I'm afraid that my health is not good, I need to rest more, if I am tired of traveling and hurting my body, wouldn't it be a villain to succeed."
Shen Sichai didn't want to deal with the prince, but when he saw the hint of the deputy general, he reluctantly lowered his head.
