Chapter 53: Judgment
"The queen is wronged! We were chased and killed by Xia Yinbing, the person next to His Royal Highness the Prince, this woman is very good at martial arts, we were chased and killed all the way, and we had to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the inn, and also sent a class to guard and prepare to come back to pick up His Royal Highness the Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, and we haven't found it everywhere! ”
Yuan Muyun kept opening his mouth to explain.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, why didn't you report it to the capital, and how long do you plan to hide such a thing?!! If it weren't for the people around the prince looking for a single lesson for him, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the prince would have died of thirst and starvation! You've arranged for people to fall asleep! Regardless of the prince! The prince drinks a drop of water in three days! "This is the person you arranged, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others in the north are arrested, will you still hide it! And said that you did not plot to murder the prince! ”
Queen Su was righteous and stern, and Yuan Muyun was speechless.
"If it weren't for Xia Yinbing chasing us all the way, we wouldn't have mapped the prince! In the final analysis, it was the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who murdered him! Your Majesty, we are guilty! ”
Yuan Muyun immediately knelt on the ground.
"Yes, you actually lost the prince, and you still didn't hold it, so bold! Someone came to arrest Yuan Muyun and others to the prison, handed them over to the Criminal Department, and tried them again at a later date! ”
"Your Majesty, you must punish them severely! It's disgusting that they treat the prince like this! ”。
"Your Majesty, these traitors treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, it is really hateful, I ask Your Majesty to deal with them harshly, and directly cut off their heads, if it weren't for the people around the prince to arrive in time, I'm afraid the prince would have had a problem!" Empress Su looked at the old emperor in front of her solemnly and said.
The old emperor touched his beard, his tiger eyes squinted slightly, looking at the clearly excited Empress Su in front of him, and the mentally weak prince Nan Xuanye, "Retreat to the court first, queen, prince, you come to my study." ”
When the old emperor drank the strong tea in his hand, he looked at the prince sitting in front of him and asked with concern, "Does it still hurt now?" Can you support it? No, go down and rest now! The crown prince Nan Xuanye looked at the rare concern of the old emperor in front of him, and shook his head a little uncomfortably: "It's okay, father, the son can support it!" ”
"Then, you answer Father Emperor now, who is that Xia Yinbing? Why did they run to the Cliff of Death and stab you on your way? The old emperor's eyes sank, and he looked at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of him.
Empress Su's heart sank slightly, the emperor in front of her really still hid a knife in his words, he was concerned on the surface, but in fact he was still questioning the prince, such a naked suspicion made Empress Su's heart hurt like a pinprick, and it pierced her heart!
The crown prince Nan Xuan took a deep breath at night, brewed his emotions, and responded calmly in the face of the old emperor's questioning: "She is a woman in the son's mansion. ”
"The woman next to you ran to your mission to intercept and kill you, and she is still armed with martial arts, do you know why? Prince, my heart is full of questions now! The old emperor asked, "If I remember correctly, last time you were sad for many days because of a woman's disappearance, this time you assassinated you, you treated her like this, you did not hesitate to live up to my trust in you, and would rather abandon the government than miss this woman, isn't it ironic?" Your favorite woman gave you an arrow in the end, so that your final mission fell short! Hehehe! The old emperor finally stood up and looked mockingly at Empress Su and the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of him.
"Your Majesty! This woman is a woman sent by the king of southern Xinjiang, beautiful appearance, good at singing and dancing, and a good martial arts, arrogant and unsociable, like to mix with wild beasts, this woman is a tool for the king of southern Xinjiang to send a prince to confuse the prince! It's the king of southern Xinjiang with bad intentions! When Queen Su said this, she was already emotional, looking at the weak prince in front of her, and she couldn't wait to tear up and eat the king of Nanjiang now.
"The king of Nanjiang has sent a lot of women, if the prince has the determination and the ability to govern himself, he can completely refuse the king of Nanjiang, the king of Nanjiang is your third brother, the third can send you a woman, if the other princes also send you women, are they all ill-intentioned, in the future, I will hand over this big week to you, and in the future, other countries will send more beautiful women to your pillow, you accept them all, is it all bad intentions of people from other countries!"
"The princess and the princess are for the sake of friendship and peace between the states without war, in exchange for the peace and contentment of the two countries, no matter what the intentions of other countries are, the woman is sent to your hands, you are unconscious, and leaving the country and politics behind is a faint king, a bastard, and an incompetent person, prince, you say, you are so addicted to women and you don't wake up, how can I rest assured that I will hand over this great Zhou Jiangshan to you! is in charge of the government, misses his daughter and doesn't care, and is stabbed by a woman while performing a task! ”
"Addicted to women, abandoning the government is no longer worthy of staying in the position of the prince, and being dragged back by women, being assassinated by women, Nan Xuanye, are you a man after all!" After the old emperor finished speaking, his beard was crooked.
"Your Majesty! It's not like that, in fact, the prince ......" Queen Su almost explained to the prince Nan Xuanye in front of her in a hurry, but in the end she was stopped by the old emperor.
"Don't explain, I don't want to listen, I only believe what I see and hear, and it's useless to explain. Prince, what else do you have to say? I don't want to hear it, so go down and recuperate! I don't want to see you! From now on, I don't need you to enter my sight! After the old emperor finished speaking, he sentenced the crown prince Nan Xuanye to a heavy sentence, and did not give the prince Nan Xuanye himself any chance to defend, and directly kicked the prince Nan Xuanye out of the inner circle of the Great Zhou politics.
"Son's resignation!" Prince Nan Xuanye didn't say anything, quickly got up and left the study, and walked outside, at this time, Empress Su stopped Prince Nan Xuanye and looked at the old emperor in front of him.
"Your Majesty, you can't treat the prince like this, he is the prince you set up personally!" Empress Su looked at the old emperor in front of her, she had already knelt down, tears flowing, and her whole person was about to collapse.
"Needless to say, step aside! I'm tired, I need to rest! The old emperor waved his hand and turned around directly, no longer looking at Empress Su and Nan Xuanye in front of him.
"Your Majesty!" Empress Su's voice was terrible, and she looked like she was going to kneel for a long time.
"Queen Mother! After so many years, you also know the emperor's temper, even if you kneel on this floor, the things decided by the emperor will not change, you still help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rest, you are ugly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to faint! Fast! ”
With the call of the chief eunuch, Empress Su, who was about to kneel down and plead, turned to look at the prince Nan Xuan, who was standing at the door and was about to go out, and fell forward unsteadily.
"Prince! Prince! What happened to you? Queen Su immediately stood up and ran towards the door, and in time she helped the crown prince Nan Xuanye's body and helped Nan Xuanye lean against the door.
"Let's go! Queen mother! Nan Xuanye looked at Queen Su in front of her, her eyes were firm, without any hesitation, she didn't seem to want to stay here at all, she looked very painful.
"Good! Let's go! Queen Su directly helped Nan Xuanye, and the maid Lianying, who was waiting outside, immediately ran over and helped Nan Xuanye out with Queen Su. 、
Cheng Yu, who had been guarding the gate of Kunning Palace, looked at the prince who was helped back by Queen Su and Lianying, and immediately ran up to support Nan Xuanye.
"Stand down, all of you! This palace has something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince! When Empress Su finished speaking, the situation in front of her looked very grim.
"Yes!" Cheng Yu and Lianying glanced at each other and retreated silently.
Queen Su helped the crown prince Nan Xuanye directly back to the dormitory of Kunning Palace, took off Nan Xuanye's boots, helped Nan Xuanye to fall on the bed, and covered the quilt.
Queen Su didn't stop, and personally poured a cup of tea and sent it to Prince Nan Xuanye's hand: "It's not interesting to pretend to be sick." What is the situation of your body, as long as you don't involve the wound and do strenuous exercise, your body is generally fine, on the way there just now, your emotions are still so easy to catch fire, and you keep pulling the queen mother back, do you know what this means? ”
Prince Nan Xuanye drank the hot tea handed over by Queen Su, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "It's useless to say anything now, my father won't believe his sons, he will only believe what he thinks, it doesn't matter what we say." ”
Empress Su gasped and took a step back: "So even more, let your father try to listen!" ”
"Queen Mother, don't embarrass the child, now the child just wants to recuperate quietly, the body can't get better, everything is empty talk!" After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he fell directly on the bed and did not speak.
"Then you have a good rest! Work hard to take care of your body! Nan Xuanye looked at Queen Su in front of him and didn't dare to turn back and forth, so he directly chose to close his eyes and let himself have a good resting environment.
Nan Xuanye's self-abandonment made Queen Su feel particularly powerless, if Nan Xuanye didn't get up, it would be useless to say anything now, Nan Xuanye at this time didn't want to listen to anything, didn't want to say, just wanted to hide himself, he lost his most valued career as the prince, he used to value the most position and everything, just like that, he was sent away by his father with a few words, the enemy on the opposite side gave him a heavy blow, and he was injured, and he almost forgot what the meaning of survival was now!
The old emperor's sarcasm and ridicule, every sentence was like a stone, smashed into Nan Xuanye's heart, he is now suffocated to death, and he is going crazy in pain! The people who care the most are often the ones who hurt people the most, such as his father and emperor, such as Xia Yinbing, who once held hope!
At this time, everything at this time is like a piece of smoke, a burst of dark clouds, a dream of wind and snow, a magnificent dream of plum blossoms, when the dream wakes up, the fog disperses, the wind blows in front of you, the sun shines directly on the earth, everything wakes up is still dry and cold, the wind knife is like snow in the winter morning, everything is still cold to the low temperature in the bones, making people cold to the heart, the whole person is frozen inside and out, unable to move, looking at the real world and helpless and unwilling and atmosphere.
Nan Xuan couldn't fall asleep in bed for a long time at night, all kinds of inattention during the day, a look of indifference and indifference, entering the dead of night, heartache, unable to sleep, but he didn't dare to beat his chest, his chest was still very painful, the body tortured by illness, and the suffering in his heart was the soul that tortured people, making people unable to let go but not tightly entangled, looking at the things held tightly in his hands, like sand in his hands, sliding silently.
Queen Su stood and hid in the distance, sleepless all night, the winter night had already frozen her feet numb, but she still did not move, looking at the figure of Prince Nanxuan's room moving back and forth from afar, the dark night stretched her child's figure so long, tightly clutched her wrist, shook her wrist, tears slid down her cheeks weakly, but she couldn't change anything, this is the most powerless place for Queen Su, at this time the Song family was a man with his tail between his legs, and he was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he couldn't protect himself.
Nan Xuanye was in a particularly bad mood, at this time, Queen Su, who was guarding the door, was also anxious, the mother and son cried together heart to heart, and they were anxious together, just when Queen Su was about to push the door in and comfort Nan Xuanye, suddenly there was a rustling sound not far away.
When Queen Su raised her eyes and looked at it, two black-clothed people appeared on the roof, walking along the edge of the room towards Prince Nan Xuanye's room, but the two of them had just stood on the roof, only to see Queen Su, who was still standing in the dark to observe Prince Nan Xuanye, suddenly turned around and jumped in front of the two, and ten finger guards attacked directly in the direction of the two black-clothed people.
The three figures continued to emit sparks from the handover of weapons on the eaves, Queen Su's cold eyes shot directly at the two of them, Shen Chude's hands suddenly turned into claws, and directly attacked the throats of the two black-clothed people, directly making the two black-clothed people unable to get close to Prince Nanxuanye's room at all;
Suddenly, one of the men in black pulled out a dagger directly from his arms and stabbed it towards Queen Su's throat, but before he could get close to Queen Su's body, he was directly pierced through the throat by the finger guard on Queen Su's middle finger.
Queen Su's cold eyes flashed, and she directly held the dagger in the hand of the assassin in front of her and pierced another assassin who attacked from the opposite side, when the guards in the East Palace saw the fierce fight on the eaves and chased after them with torches, to everyone's shock, two assassins fell directly from the air in the courtyard, one with a golden finger guard in her throat, and a dagger directly pierced her chest. It turns out that the graceful and luxurious queen mother is also a master of killing, and she is good at martial arts, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have such good martial arts.
At the same time that Queen Su walked out, everyone also reacted, but when the guards approached, the two black-clothed people in front of them suddenly made a burst of blasting sounds, and everyone was shocked on the spot, and Queen Su at this time was suddenly pulled back by Cheng Yu behind her, and the yard was full of white smoke and pungent smell, and there was white powder floating everywhere in the air, hair, clothes, and eyes, and the pungent smell in the air made people's heads dizzy and swollen.
"Get out of here! The air here is poisonous! With the sound of the war eagle's scream, the guards who were still standing here just now were all blown into powder, and Queen Su was also brought to Prince Nanxuanye's room by Cheng Yu, and closed the door tightly, but it still had a pungent smell when it was put inside.
"Open the door, I'll bring the antidote!" With the sound of the war eagle, Cheng Yu came and opened the door, and immediately closed the door again after welcoming the two brothers and sisters of the war song and war eagle in.
"This is the handkerchief I have soaked, four servings in total, quickly cover your nose and take a deep breath for a quarter of an hour! I'm going to the yard to spray some liquid antidote! After Zhan Ying finished speaking, he quickly stood up, covered himself with a handkerchief soaked in antidote, and the other three were given to the prince Nan Xuanye, Queen Su, Cheng Yu, and Zhan Ge in front of him.
The war eagle pressed the white porcelain bottle in his hand, and there was a white fragrant powder in the air, slowly covering the pungent smell of burnt corpses, just the white powder in the air, and the powder of the corpses of the guards who died on the spot was still in the air.
Nan Xuanye was blindfolded by the war song, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and quickly carried out of Zhaoyang Palace, rushing towards the Fengyang Palace of the crown princess.
Half an hour's effort, the Zhaoyang Palace where the prince Nan Xuanye lived was filled with a layer of unpleasant smell, although there was an antidote swayed by the war eagle, but it still couldn't stop the pungent smell from spreading around, and the other palaces next to it were not spared, unfortunately, the pregnant princess Song Yanran began to vomit, and Queen Su was also smoked to tears, the prince Nan Xuanye was still the same, sick, and the entire East Palace was so busy that people turned over.
Nan Xuanye looked at the person in front of him, and was very angry in his heart, but he couldn't stand up, couldn't sleep, couldn't settle down, and looked at everything that happened in front of him weakly, which made people even more crazy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhaoyang Palace has ordered someone to clean up, some of the previous guard brothers and the two assassins who were assassinated by the queen mother The corpse powder has been diluted by the war eagle girl who knows how to do the antidote, but there is still a pungent smell, which is not conducive to your body recovery, I am afraid it will take a few days for your Zhaoyang Palace to move in, the current taste is not conducive to your recovery, and the crown princess is now vomiting non-stop, just now someone from the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion has taken Niangniang back to recuperate, and the queen has also returned to the palace to rest, you need to go to the Hundred Beasts Garden to rest now, after all, there are too many girls in Changchun Garden, and chirping is not good for you. ”
"Help me go to Changchun Garden, don't be verbose!" Nan Xuanye looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, and when he mentioned the Hundred Beast Garden, there was a rare expression of disgust on his face, which made Cheng Yu stunned for a moment, but he still helped Nan Xuanye to walk towards Changchun Garden.
"Jump up, sing, blow for me, whoever performs the best, accompany Xiao Wang and me to sleep tonight!" When Nan Xuanye came back again after leaving Changchun Garden for a few months, the girls in the whole garden were about to jump, the red silk danced, the guqin was played, the flute was blown, delicious and fun were all put out, almost the entire Changchun Garden girls ran out, opened their eyes and looked, the ring fat swallow thin, the warbler Yanyan, very lively, this lively anger soon set off the cold winter day and became more and more restless.
