Chapter 122: Rebuilding the Home
Hong Ling pushed Chen Jinye away, her eyes were full of trembling surprise, and after she stood up on the ground, Hong Ling ran out without looking back, Chen Jinye was about to catch up, and as soon as she crossed the threshold, the soldiers who had been sent to pick the medicine before brought the herbs up.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, look, are these herbs?"
Chen Jinye took the herbs from the soldier's hand and carefully examined them, "No problem, take it and boil it, boil it to the extent of a bowl of water, and then you can bring it to Bai Ju to drink."
After that, Chen Jinye hurriedly went to Hongling's house, "Ling'er? Chen Jinye knocked on the door of Hongling's room, "I was wrong, don't be angry."
"Chen Jinye, I don't want to see you, you let me be quiet"
Hearing the voice from the pavilion, Chen Jinye suddenly choked, unable to say a word, thinking that he was too impulsive after all, in order to prevent her from being taken away, Chen Jinye sent two soldiers to garrison in the side courtyard, and he hurried towards the center of the palace.
"Lu Yi, how is the cleaning inside and outside the palace now?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, it may take about two days to fully recover, and at present, the soldiers have only cleared out a dozen courtyards for the people to rest."
Chen Jinye bowed slightly, "In this case, there is no need to worry, just right, you can tell me about the situation of the generals."
Lu Yi, who was dressed in plain clothes, hesitated for a moment, slowly arched his hand, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'll go and call Commander Wu, who commands the generals, I have been locked in the dark room all these years, and I don't know much about the situation of the soldiers."
Chen Jinye looked at Lu Yi, his heart was also complicated, and he slowly raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I have suffered you all these years, and the imperial court will definitely not let down everything you have done for Xicheng."
Lu Yi pursed his lips slightly, revealing a small smile, "My subordinates will go down and call Commander Wu to come over", after saying that, he turned around and went out towards the door without raising his head, Chen Jinye looked at the busy soldiers outside, he probably knew that these people must have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts.
A moment later, Lu Yi led a dark-skinned, tall and lean general to the central hall, and Commander Wu's face had the unique fortitude of a soldier, "His Royal Highness the Prince."
Chen Jinye hurriedly stepped forward to help Commander Wu up, "Commander Wu, please get up quickly."
"This king invited you this time to learn more about the situation of the soldiers today."
Commander Wu slowly raised his head and looked at Chen Jinye, with a majesty in his eyes that could not be ignored, "Ten years ago, I and other officers and soldiers came to Xicheng with the prince of Jinsong, except for the first two or three years of freedom, and the next seven years were spent underground, some soldiers even went crazy due to excessive homesickness during training, and the crazy soldiers were taken out of the underground palace by the prince of Jinsong, and everyone thought that the crazy soldiers were arranged to return to their hometowns, so they began to pretend to be sick and pretend to be crazy one after another."
Commander Wu paused slightly, and slowly looked away at Lu Yi, "Lord Lu Yi back then was sent to the dungeon by Prince Jinsong at that time, and it has been five or six years now, right?" Lu Yi bowed slightly.
"It's just that, after half a year, after the soldiers began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, the prince of Jinsong did one thing, it turned out that those crazy soldiers, true or false, were not sent back to the royal capital by him, he actually sent those people to a darker and darker place as coolies to dig the underground palace, and when the underground palace was built, he escorted those soldiers to the front of everyone, and thousands of soldiers died without forgiveness, and since then, few soldiers have dared to say that they are sick."
Chen Jinye shrank his eyebrows slightly, "How did you know that those soldiers went to dig the underground palace?" ”。
Commander Wu sighed slightly, "The prince of Jinsong has done it seamlessly, but after all, someone still shouted and leaked his mouth, and he called out when his hand was up and down."
"The soldiers are more or less dissatisfied with what the prince of Jinsong has done, so Rao is once 100,000 elite soldiers are now only 60,000 left, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to command, he still has to spend some effort"
"What do you think?"
Chen Jinye looked at Commander Wu lightly, only to see Commander Wu suddenly raise his head, "Catch the prince of Jinsong and give an explanation to the soldiers."
Chen Jinye slowly moved his gaze to Lu Yi on the side, "What does Lord Lu think?" ”。
Lu Yi put his hands together without raising his head, and then slowly buried his head in his arms, "Minister, second."
Chen Jinye nodded quietly, and then slowly paced a few steps inside, "The proposal is good, but this king may be one step ahead of you."
Lu Yi and Commander Wu were slightly stunned, staring at Chen Jinye for some reason, but saw Chen Jinye slowly turning around, and said calmly: "I have already killed Chen Jinsong."
Commander Wu raised his eyebrows quietly, but Lu Yi was full of surprise, "But, didn't Prince Jinsong still leave a message for you?" ”。
Chen Jinye slowly hooked the corners of his mouth and walked half a step in the direction of the two, "He did ask you to pass the word to me, but it was only his expedient measure, and maybe he wanted to pour a basin of dirty water on me before he died, but in short, he has been killed by my subordinates."
Commander Wu wondered slightly, "But the man in white?" Named Baiju? ”。
"Yes, it's him"
"But he hasn't woken up yet, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince conclude that Bai Ju has killed Prince Jinsong? Besides, it seems that the body of the prince of Jinsong has not been found yet, so is it a hasty decision to make such a decision? ”
Chen Jinye nodded slightly, with a slight coldness between his eyebrows, "Tomorrow, Bai Ju will almost wake up, and the soldiers will also be empty-handed, when the time comes, I will take you to find his corpse."
Seeing Chen Jinye discussing his brother's life and death so calmly, Commander Wu couldn't help but believe it a little, so he immediately surrendered his hand, "If what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true, the soldiers will definitely not disobey your orders."
Chen Jinye bowed slightly, and said slowly: "I'm almost busy now, tell the soldiers to cook and rest early, and gather all the soldiers in the banquet hall after lunch."
Commander Wu bowed his head and complied in a calm voice: "Everything obeys the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Chen Jinye nodded slightly, "Then let's go down first."
After sending the two away, Chen Jinye stared outside the door for a long time, thinking that it was almost the time for Bai Ju to drink medicine, and then he came to the side courtyard again, and the two soldiers were still standing on both sides of the door of the side courtyard hall.
The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and then he came to Bai Ju's side outside the door, and the maid also covered Bai Ju with the sun shining directly overhead, Chen Jinye nodded with satisfaction, "Carry him back to the hall, and then go and see how his decoction is."
The maid who got the order hurriedly carried Bai Ju into the hall according to Chen Jinye's wishes, Chen Jinye touched Bai Ju slightly, after a few days of rest, Bai Ju's body recovered well, he slowly took off the cotton cloth on Bai Ju's arm, and saw that Bai Ju's wound was basically healed, just in case, Chen Jinye changed some new medicine to cover his wound.
It didn't take long for the maid to enter the hall with the hot decoction, Chen Jinye slowly took it, and then called the two maids to go down to rest, he slowly helped Bai Ju up, and after testing the temperature, slowly sent the decoction into Bai Ju's mouth, and after a while, Chen Jinye sent all the medicine in the medicine bowl into Bai Ju's mouth.
After slowly putting down Bai Ju, Chen Jinye immediately got up and walked out of the hall to the courtyard, turning over the several quilts that Hongling had brought out earlier, and then turned around and said to the two soldiers: "Everyone is tired these days, I have already ordered the soldiers to cook, you should go back and eat early."
The two soldiers were surprised and delighted, they didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be so approachable, not only taking care of the injuries of his subordinates himself, but also doing what these subordinates do.
After seeing the two soldiers leave, Chen Jinye slowly walked outside Hongling's room, and after hesitating for a long time, Chen Jinye returned to the hall and sat down.
"Lord Wang?"
"You're awake"
Chen Jinye slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, and saw Bai Ju wake up, and a big stone that woke up finally fell to the ground, "Get up and take a look, go outside to bask in the sun."
"Yes", Bai Ju propped himself up slightly, sat up slowly, but suddenly found that he had no left arm, "Lord Wang, this!" ”。
Chen Jinye helped Bai Ju to lean on the table, "Your arm was deformed that day, if you don't make this decision earlier, I'm afraid I won't be able to save your life."
The shock in Bai Ju's eyes was gradually shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, he never expected that he would become such a waste person again, and now like this, how can he protect the prince in the future.
Chen Jinye patted Bai Ju's shoulder, and slowly said the current situation, "After lunch today, you will go to the banquet hall with me, and then you will say that your arm was cut off by the prince of Jinsong, and then you pushed him and his maidservant off the high platform at the last moment, can you understand?" ”。
Bai Ju bowed slightly, "Lord Wang, I will be a waste person in the future, and now I can help you with one more thing, I am also extremely happy."
Chen Jinye shook his head slightly, "No, you can help me more than that, you can recuperate and heal your injuries with peace of mind these days, I have a lot of tasks to be entrusted to you, and I don't worry about others."
With Chen Jinye's encouragement, Bai Ju's heart suddenly surged with a hot current, it has been a dream since he was a child to be recognized by him, and now that he can be so valued by the prince, he will definitely not give up on himself.
Chen Jinye suddenly thought of something, hurriedly got up and walked outside, and called, "Ling'er, Bai Ju has woken up, why don't you come and take a look?" After that, Chen Jinye turned around and asked the two maids to go to the officers and soldiers to get food and come back, and as soon as the words fell, Hongling opened a small crack in her door.
