Chapter 52: Poisoning (2)

At night, the faint moonlight poured into the room from the window lattice, a stepping bed, two pairs of shoes in front of the bed, a yellow gauze tent, and a tent to warm the mandarin ducks.

Gu Beicheng slept with Lin Miaoyin and Yi, she secretly opened her eyes, and the just right arc outlined Gu Beicheng's clear and beautiful side face.

Lin Miaoyin looked at Gu Beicheng who was already asleep with joy, his sleeping face was so calm, and his breathing was very light and light.

She raised her hand, quietly touched his eyelashes with her index finger, and her slender eyebrows, with Gu Beicheng by her side, she felt so relieved, Lin Miaoyin's eyelids began to sink more and more, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

Suddenly, hearing her even breathing and knowing that she had slept deeply, Gu Beicheng slowly opened his eyes.

He gently removed Lin Miaoyin's arm that was pressing on his chest, sat up, covered her with the quilt, gently stroked her cheek with his palm, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at her lovingly.

Gu Beicheng said softly: "If I had a choice, I would like to be by your side all the time, but I have more important things to do, waiting for me." Then, he quietly left the Lin Mansion and went directly to the prison of the Criminal Department.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Dan Fu went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment with two large jars of wine with sweat medicine, saying that the prince had treated them, and the guards and jailers drank freely, and not long after, they all fainted.

He took the opportunity to take the key and found Li Zhen in the prison, and as soon as the two escaped and were about to escape from the prison, they heard someone coming in outside, Dan Fu and Li Zhen were shocked, and ambushed under the stone steps, ready to shoot at any time.

When Gu Beicheng came to the prison, he found that the guards and jailers had been drugged with sweat, he took out the judge's pen, went down the stone steps, and after taking two steps, he felt a murderous aura.

So he held his breath and concentrated, Gu Beicheng noticed that this breath came from under the stone steps, but it was very familiar, and if he looked closely, it should be General Li Zhen and Dan Fu, it seems that those people who fainted at the door must have been done by Dan Fu.

He walked down the stone steps quickly, blocked General Li Zhen's blow with the judge's pen, and whispered sideways: "It's me!" ”

"Childe?" Li Zhen was very excited when he saw that Gu Beicheng was unharmed, "It's great that you don't have Zhongnan Xiao's arrow poison!" ”

Dan Fu was in a hurry, and pushed Li Zhen out, "Let's go, now is not the time to catch up, if you have anything to say, go out and talk about it!" ”

The three of them escaped from the prison together, and the jailers and guards who fainted were all killed by Gu Beicheng.

Dan Fu used Taifu's token to send them out of the city safely, and soon, they joined the Beili garrison outside the city.

"Thank you for the rescue!" Li Zhen clenched his fists and knelt on one knee.

Dan Fu helped him up, "If the peace talks fail this time, you should go back quickly and form an alliance with the East as soon as possible, so that the Southern Jin Dynasty will not act rashly if there are concerns." ”

"The national teacher will come with us!" Gu Beicheng grabbed Danfu.

"Gongzi and General Li quickly leave this place, the guards have been wiped out tonight, Nan Xiao Wanwan can't suspect me about this matter, besides, it's not time to go back to Beili, you guys go quickly!" Dan Fu shook off Gu Beicheng's hand and urged them to hurry up and leave.

Gu Beicheng and General Li Zhen turned on their horses, led the garrison, and withdrew to Beili overnight, and two days later, Beili and Dongyu signed a ten-year-long peace agreement to hand over the goodwill between the two countries.

……

The next day, the news of the robbery of the prison immediately reached the ears of Nanxiao, who was about to order an attack on Beili, but received an urgent report of the flood in Dongshu.

"Your Majesty, the Dongshu floods are serious, the people are displaced, and a large number of refugees are coming to the capital like a flood, if you don't send people to relieve the disaster quickly, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken!" The prime minister said.

Nan Xiao looked at Lin Song and said sharply: "General Lin Song will personally go to deal with the Dongshu flood this time, and make up for it." ”

"The sinner obeys!" Lin Song knocked on the leader's will.

Dan Fu moved to Lin Song's side and whispered, "The queen mother asked you to bring the crown prince with you to give Her Royal Highness a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Since it is the mother's will, the criminal ministers should obey it, but the management of the flood is dangerous and unpredictable, and the prince has never been out of the palace, so he is afraid of ......" Lin Song's face was embarrassed.

Dan Fu knocked Lin Song's arm, "Are you an elm head?" Let the prince do some work, do you really plan to let him go with you to do it? ”

"This matter still needs His Majesty's consent, it's not up to you and me to forget it." Lin Song whispered.

Nan Xiao looked at Lin Song and Dan Fu as if they were whispering, and asked lightly, "Taifu and General Lin have something to say?" ”

"This time to deal with the Dongshu flood, the minister implores His Majesty to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go with him, the opportunity is rare, take the opportunity to experience and experience." Dan Fu arched his hand and said.

This coincides with what Nan Xiao thinks in his heart, and he also feels that as a prince, he should not only listen to the court all day long, no matter how much he listens, it is just on paper, and he should actually experience it.

Nan Xiao nodded, "That's right!" In addition, the three princes should also bring it with them, and let them both go and have a look. ”

It's troublesome enough to bring one prince, and bring two, which has to bear the risk of losing your head!

Lin Song's face was embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said: "Controlling the flood, it is dangerous and unpredictable, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

"It doesn't matter! I believe in you! After Nan Xiao finished speaking, he retreated and left.

A little eunuch hurriedly ran to the queen's bedroom to report the news, "Niangniang...... Mother, Your Majesty has agreed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to deal with the flood! The little eunuch knelt down in front of the queen, "But it's ......"

"But what? How do you slurred your words? Don't say it yet! Aunt Ji Rong glared at him and said sharply.

The queen reclined on the chair, gently shook the fan in her hand, and closed her eyes to recuperate.

"However, Your Majesty also ordered the Third Highness to accompany you!" The little eunuch said timidly.

The fan in the queen's hand suddenly stopped, opened her eyes and asked, "What did you say?" Nan Jinyan is also going? ”

The little eunuch bowed, "Yes!" The minions heard it with their own ears. ”

"Auntie, send someone to greet Your Highness with the Third Highness." After speaking, the queen closed her eyes again and shook the fan.

"Yes, the slave and maid will send someone." Aunt Ji Rong turned her head to the little eunuch and said, "Can you hear Niangniang's words?" Why don't you go soon? ”

"Huh!" The little eunuch went to Nan Jinyan's dormitory.

When Shen was approaching, the sun was poisoning, the ground was turning over the heat wave, and the people around were screaming non-stop, and a lot of ice had been moved into the queen's bedroom, and three or four palace maids pulled fans for her.

"Jin Yan greets the queen!" Nan Jinyan knelt down in front of the queen's bedroom.

However, after finishing the sentence, the queen didn't call him to get up, Nan Jinyan thought that the queen didn't hear it, and said loudly again: "Erchen greets the queen!" ”

For a long time, he still didn't hear the queen's response, Nan Jinyan didn't dare to get up rashly, he knelt on the ground, he could feel the ground being hot, and his palms and legs had begun to sting in the blink of an eye.

The scorching sun made his back almost smoke, and the heat wave came one after another, Nan Jinyan was sweating, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, and half a column of incense......

Seeing that the work of a stick of incense was about to pass, Nan Jinyan's robe was already soaked with sweat, and some places were wet and quickly dried, leaving white sweat stains.

He began to feel dizzy, his legs were numb, and even the pain gradually became indistinct, and he was almost unable to kneel.

Aunt Ji Rong watched, for fear that he would kneel out, after all, it was the emperor's heart, she whispered to the queen's ear and reminded: "Niangniang, if you kneel like this again, Your Royal Highness is afraid that she will suffer from heat stroke......"

"Alright, let him in." The queen said leisurely.

Aunt Ji Rong gave the maid a look, the two maids went out and helped Nan Jinyan in, when he knelt in front of the queen's bed, he was already a little confused, Aunt Ji Rong hurriedly brought him a bowl of herbal tea, Nan Jinyan cooed, and drank it all in one go.

The queen put down the fan in her hand, leaned over, gently pinched Nan Jinyan's face, and said disdainfully: "I heard that the Third Highness is also going to Dongshu to deal with the flood, you remember to the palace, you will always be just the prince's foil, don't do superfluous things, otherwise, if something happens, don't blame the palace for not reminding you." ”

"Jin Yan remembers the teachings of the queen! Definitely, dare not forget. Nan Jinyan looked at the queen and replied calmly.
