Chapter 229: Where Not to Return to Who's Tears (Part II)
Feng Xuanjing then remembered that the old emperor's right hand was always in the futon before, and it turned out that his right hand had been holding a dagger, no wonder Chu Zheng was crying uncharacteristically!
Feng Xuanjing sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect the Rouran royal family to be so ruthless!
He couldn't help but think of his father and seventh brother Feng Xuanyu, I don't know how they are doing now? At the same time, he smiled with relief, compared to the royal family he was in, it turned out that the royal family he was in was so warm. Although the father and emperor misunderstood for ten years, and the seventh brother resented it for ten years, it did not affect the affection between father and son.
But the father and son in front of them actually fought against each other for the throne, killing each other.
Feng Xuanjing thought about it, and glanced at Chu Zheng with a side face.
Chu Zheng said indifferently and softly: "The mother concubine of the Third Emperor Brother, it turns out that my father is even favored, and he doesn't want the Third Emperor Brother to get involved in King Lu's schemes, so he detains his child in the palace."
Feng Xuanjing frowned and looked down at the third prince who fell to the ground.
Chu Zheng's palms were clenched, and he said coldly: "The mother concubine of the third emperor brother committed suicide because she was jealous of her father's new favorite concubine and was relegated to the cold palace. Even if the third emperor brother does not support King Lu this time, his father will not let him go, and the detention of his child is just an excuse, what his father really wants is his life! ”
Feng Xuanjing's heart was shocked.
Chu Zheng continued: "The mother concubine of the third emperor brother is a princess of a small surrounding country, and she is gentle with me for the sake of the alliance between the two countries." As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered, "He won't allow a woman from a foreign country to take root!"
Feng Xuanjing's eyes froze, staring at the three princes who were struggling to crawl with pity, and there was a long trail of blood behind him, bright and alarming.
"He wants people to die, he doesn't need any reason, there is only one real reason..."Chu Zheng's voice was as cold as ice: "He is suspicious by nature, brutal and fierce!"
Feng Xuanjing turned around in surprise and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his murderous face. Just before he could react, Chu Zheng said in a low voice: "You stay and watch the show!" Before he could finish speaking, he quickly swept down and jumped down.
Feng Xuanjing didn't have time to stop it, and reached out to only touch the corner of his clothes, slid over the tip of his hand, and fluttered down. He caught a glimpse of a figure rushing out from behind the pillars of the palace, past the dying and struggling Three Princes, slashing with lightning speed, swinging his sword at the unsuspecting old emperor.
He stared at the weak and exhausted third prince with a fierce gaze. A cold light came, and the old emperor subconsciously touched the pillow, only to find that the dagger was inserted into the chest of his third prince, and he forgot to pull it out.
The old emperor's deep eyes burst out with a touch of cold despair, but there was a shocking tearing sound in his ears, he stared, and couldn't believe that Chu Zheng, who had gone and returned, actually blocked a sword for him?
The tip of the sword pierced Chu Zheng's left shoulder blade, and a burst of pain made him shake and almost fall.
The sword-wielder was startled and drew his sword back.
Blood gushed out as the sword came out, spilling all over the ground.
The force of the blow made Chu Zheng lean forward, but his body fell backwards.
At that moment, the old emperor got up from the bed, held Chu Zheng's fallen body, and held it in his arms. Seeing the black blood gurgling, he suddenly shouted: "Someone!"
There was a loud sound, and there was a burst of figures, and dozens of black-clothed people jumped out from behind the dormitory, all wearing strange masks, revealing a pair of fierce eyes.
The old emperor gave an order, and they instantly shifted and surrounded the sword-wielding man.
"Don't!" Chu Zheng endured the stinging pain that attacked, grabbed the old emperor's hand, and begged: "Father, third brother and fifth brother were confused for a while, I hope that my father will forgive them and spare them!"
It took a long time for Father-in-law Gu to come to his senses, he got up from the ground tremblingly, pounced, and exclaimed: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't always be kind and tolerant, thinking of brotherly love, this... When has this been? They are determined to take the lives of Your Majesty and you! ”
The old emperor twitched his face, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Kill!"
The fifth prince glanced at the third prince who was lying in a pool of blood without moving, raised his head and wailed, and swung his sword to attack.
The black-clad masked man seemed to be standing still, but he had a lot of shadows, and he exchanged positions, like lightning strikes, and it was dazzling fast.
The five princes swung their swords and stabbed at the black-clothed masked man, and the sword missed, and the move was empty. In a few moments, he was exhausted, his eyes were full of stars, and the rapid changes in his phantom disturbed his mind and began to lose consciousness. He stumbled a few steps, abandoned his sword and fell, holding his head and screaming in pain. He rolled on the spot a few times until he was bleeding from the seven holes, his voice was gone, and he fell to the ground and died.
As soon as the fifth prince died, the old emperor paused word by word, and said coldly: "Get rid of all the obstacles, and drag these two evil obstacles out by the way!"
As soon as the old emperor's words fell, the black-clothed masked man flashed out, and in an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
The old emperor looked down at Chu Zheng's wound, his brows were tightened, and he raised his eyes to speak, but Gu Gonggong had already opened his throat and shouted: "Someone, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!"
The guards guarding the palace thought that the old emperor's condition was getting worse, panicked and responded, and hurriedly ran.
Looking at the blood flowing from the wound, the old emperor's deep gaze became more and more gloomy, and the sword was actually smeared with poison? If Chu Zheng hadn't blocked this sword, he wouldn't have survived this catastrophe with his current body.
Chu Zheng smiled weakly at him and said, "Father doesn't have to worry, the son is fine!"
Father-in-law Gu whimpered and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is filial, and he can feel the heavens and the earth..."
At this time, the footsteps came in a panic, and several imperial doctors rushed in out of breath, but saw the old emperor in a squatting position, leaning on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his arms, his left shoulder blade was dripping with blood.
Your Majesty hasn't been bedridden all the time, how can you still get out of bed?
When the imperial doctors were shocked, they knelt down: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the ministers are too late to save you..."
"No more nonsense!" The old emperor said coldly: "Hurry up and save the prince."
The imperial doctors hurriedly got up, ignoring the doubts in their hearts, and were about to inspect the wounds, when the old emperor suddenly spoke: "Help me to the bed!"
"This..."The imperial doctors were stunned, the old emperor glared angrily, and they hurriedly helped Chu Zheng to the bed.
Feng Xuanjing hid on the beams and pillars, and when he looked at everything in the palace, he finally understood Chu Zheng's good intentions, his real purpose was to get rid of King Lu with the hands of the old emperor!
His heart moved, could it be that the contents of that satin brocade box were fake? Otherwise, how could Chu Zheng abandon the secret path and turn back to inherit this life-and-death sword.
Feng Xuanjing sighed and shook his head, he didn't even want his life for the sake of the emperor's power!
Indeed, if there is a father, there must be a son! Ranwen.com
It's just that the old emperor never dreamed that he would take a breath and test the princes with his illness, but he was calculated by Chu Zheng, who was in the camp step by step!
Feng Xuanjing could only smile helplessly, but there was one more point, he couldn't figure it out, what was Chu Zheng's intention in pulling him into the palace together?
Several imperial doctors quickly relieved Chu Zheng's sword poison and bandaged his wounds. They then whispered to the old emperor to report Chu Zheng's injury, and the old emperor heard it and reprimanded angrily: "The prince is going to fall into obscurity, and I will cut off your heads!" As he spoke, a wave of dizziness hit, he shook his body, panting, and Father-in-law Gu on the side quickly supported him and hurriedly stroked his back.
The royal doctors knelt down in panic and begged for mercy.
Chu Zheng, who was almost in prostration, said in a hoarse and low voice: "Father, the sons and daughters are holding on, don't embarrass the imperial doctors, they did their best!"
"What do I want of these quacks?" The old emperor had a calm face, and his eyes were fierce.
One of the imperial doctors boldly said: "Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers will do their best to heal His Royal Highness the Prince, but the poisonous gas invades the body quickly, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince's arm is not as flexible as before..."
"Shut up!" The old emperor reprimanded angrily, but it caused a violent cough, and he could barely breathe.
"Father, do not be angry, lest you hurt your body, is it not a sin for such a son? This little injury doesn't get in the way, just rest for a while! Seeing this, Chu Zheng struggled to get up while persuading.
The old emperor eased his face, waved his hand to disperse the imperial doctors, and Gu Gonggong helped him, stepped forward in a trembling manner, and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at Chu Zheng's pale face, sighed, and muttered, "You are very much like your mother!"
When Chu Zheng heard this, his shoulders trembled slightly, he didn't know whether it was shock or unbearable pain, he snorted and moaned twice, and closed his eyes weakly.
The old emperor guarded the bedside, looking at the handsome Chu Zheng, a pretty face appeared in front of him, but his eyes were stubborn and tenacious. His heart was stagnant, and he was a little sad, and when the queen's face appeared at last, a sharp pain crossed his heart.
Father-in-law Gu didn't say a word, and silently took out the cloak and put it on the old emperor's shoulders.
Feng Xuanjing looked down at the heavy back of the old emperor, sat on the edge of the bed with his knees, and guarded the sleeping Chu Zheng. At this moment, he had an illusion, in fact, among the many princes, the old emperor should value Chu Zheng the most! From the look in his eyes, it can be seen that although there are some complicated emotions, he can't hide that concern.
When Feng Xuanjing was secretly thinking, two guards came in and reported to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, the traitors guarding the outside of the palace have been cleared!"
The old emperor raised his eyelids and snorted, still lowering his gaze.
Gu Gonggong raised his hand and showed them to go out.
After another hour, the two guards came in again and reported: "Your Majesty, all those who surrounded the Prince's Mansion have been eradicated, and there is not a single one left!"
Feng Xuanjing was surprised.
The old emperor tilted his head slightly and nodded.
The two guards were once again sent out by Gu Gonggong.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Father-in-law Gu blew out the candle flame and still accompanied the old emperor silently.
Feng Xuanjing secretly wondered in his heart, what was Chu Zheng waiting for, even if his injuries were serious, it was impossible for him to actually sleep at this critical juncture?
Or, the old emperor is also waiting, what do their father and son want?
Just when Feng Xuanjing was puzzled and pondering, the answer soon came, or the two guards came in: "Your Majesty, the remnants of King Lu's party have all been wiped out, General Yang asks for instructions, I don't know what King Lu should do?"
When the old emperor heard this, he stood up suddenly, but he staggered, and Father-in-law Gu hurriedly supported him.
The old emperor steadied himself, his voice was cold, without a trace of hesitation, and said categorically: "Chop off his head and hang it at the city gate, so that everyone knows that he seeks power and usurps the throne and mutilates his siblings."
"Yes!" The two guards were instructed and turned to go out.
At the same time, Chu Zheng woke up, he opened his eyes, and for a moment, as if he thought of something, he lifted the quilt and got up: "Father, the son feels much better."
The old emperor held him down with one hand and asked, "Your wound still has residual poison, so you must not act recklessly, it is better to recuperate in my dormitory."
Chu Zheng shook his head and insisted on getting out of bed, saying that he violated the guidelines, violated the regulations, and risked a big crime.
The old emperor couldn't resist him, so he had to order Father-in-law Gu to let people carry a sedan chair to send Chu Zheng back to his house.
Feng Xuanjing, who was hidden on the beams of the house, breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to jump down, and left through the dark passage.
As soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion with his front foot, Chu Zheng was also carried back by the palace sedan chair.
Feng Xuanjing helped Chu Zheng from the hands of the inner eunuch in the palace as if nothing happened, and calmly listened to the inner eunuch in the palace relay the instructions of the old emperor.
After that, he sent Chu Zheng back to the living room, and after passing through the aisle, Cai Yi came to meet him, and he didn't seem surprised that Chu Zheng was injured, but just helped him back to the room.
Xi Yao was playing with Hao'er, and suddenly saw Chu Zheng, who had been worried all night, coming back. She touched his injured shoulder blade, stepped forward quickly, and rushed to Chu Zheng, her eyes were red unconsciously, and she couldn't even speak.
Chu Zheng made a look to signal Feng Xuanjing and Cai Yi, but Feng Xuanjing ignored it and didn't buy his account at all, causing Chu Zheng to stare at each other: You still don't leave? Didn't you see that Prince Ben was injured and needed the care of the crown princess?
Feng Xuanjing squinted his eyes and glanced coldly: You can't die again, don't be hypocritical like a woman!
Instead, Cai Yi leaned over and picked up Hao'er, who was happily calling for his father, and dragged Feng Xuanjing out.
When the room was brought up by Cai Yi, Chu Zheng grinned at her, his teeth were exposed, and said, "It's okay, I've suffered a little injury!"
Xi Yao's heart was choked, she reached out and touched the wound lightly, and said in a low voice: "You..."
Chu Zheng grabbed her waist with one hand, hugged her into his arms, his eyes were burning, and he said softly: "I know that you are waiting for me, so I want to come back desperately!"
Xi Yao was shocked and trembled, she struggled to push Chu Zheng away, but when she heard him scream, Xi Yao was startled, anxiously inspected, thinking that she had touched his wound. Chu Zheng took the opportunity to hug her tightly, lowered his head and whispered: "My life is saved for you, and the world of Rouran is also fought for you."
Xi Yao was shocked, looked up in astonishment, and stared at him blankly, but her heart seemed to be pounded by something!
