Chapter 310: Can't sit still
This Zhuo Yu and Mo Bai have been helping these refugees for free in recent days, plus Zhuo Yu had also been the emperor before, and with some experience, Mo Bai's reputation quickly went out. At least among these refugees, Mo Bai is called a "living bodhisattva", and Mo Bai gradually got used to the people's overly enthusiastic love for him, and his mentality slowly began to settle down.
"Your Majesty, the performance of the three princes has been very good recently, but ......" said the secret guard beside King Zhao, who was ordered to follow Mo Bai all the time, monitoring how the two sons were doing for King Zhao, and who was more suitable to be the prince.
"Really? But what? King Zhao asked while playing chess.
"But these three princes are always accompanied by a girl, and it seems that the relationship between the two of them is very close." The Dark Guard said.
King Zhao didn't take it to heart after hearing this, after all, he was a young man, and at the age of his strong blood, it was normal for him to like others. King Zhao didn't care much about this matter, but he felt in his heart that this Mo Bai could escape from the hands of the eldest prince, and then gained a wave of prestige, which made him very impressed.
"What about the eldest prince?" King Zhao asked, ignoring what the secret guard said about the girl.
"Yes. Recently, on the side of the eldest prince, there is still no substantial progress on the epidemic. The villagers were still sick one by one, and many of our soldiers were among them. The Dark Guard said truthfully.
King Zhao paused in the air with the chess piece, then withdrew his hand and said, "There is still no progress on his side?" ”
"Yes, but the eldest prince is still thinking about it right now, so he should know soon." The Dark Guard said.
King Zhao's heart suddenly felt that this great prince was really useless, this Mo Bai was framed by him before, and then escaped death, and in such a short time, he already knew how to stop the plague at the source. But this great prince arrived at the place where the plague was located early at the beginning, and spent the most time and energy, but he still has no eyebrows, which is really unteachable.
However, King Zhao still wants to give the eldest prince some opportunities in his heart, King Zhao does not know that the eldest prince is not suitable to be a prince, and his special favor is just because of his dead mother, his mother is also the first wife of King Zhao, and she is the love of life. When his mother was alive, King Zhao was very affectionate with her, and his affection was stronger than Jin. It's a pity that when he went out to worship with the empress, he suddenly encountered an assassin. In order to protect him, the first queen did not hesitate to block this arrow for him.
This matter has become a thorn in King Zhao's heart, at that time, the age of the first queen was only in her early twenties, which was the age of flowers, and the two had already given birth to an heir for Zhao Guo, they should have been very happy and loving, but they never expected to encounter this kind of thing.
His preference for the eldest prince is also because of his guilt towards the former queen, and secondly, his friendship with the former queen. Otherwise, if he was someone else, King Zhao would have asked him to be a prince a long time ago.
These three princes are also Mo Bai. Mo Bai has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and he is the most outstanding among those princes. Mo Bai's mother concubine is just a woman from an ordinary official eunuch family, and King Zhao treats his mother as an ordinary concubine, so naturally he doesn't have too much preference for Mo Bai.
King Zhao unconsciously fell into the memories and lost his mind for a while. The chess piece in his hand hung in the air for a long time and did not move, and the secret guard never heard King Zhao's reply, so he raised his head and saw that King Zhao was thinking something, so he said, "Your Majesty? But what else is there to command? ”
This sentence pulled King Zhao's thoughts back, and King Zhao eased his mind and said, "It's okay, just continue to watch the two of them, and if something happens, report to me as soon as possible." ”
The achievements of Zhuo Yu and Mo Bai in the past few days are not without results, at least the eldest prince has heard words similar to "the three princes are really suitable to be princes" and "the eldest prince is not as powerful as the three princes" in the place where he is stationed.
The eldest prince Mo Xuan was naturally very shocked, he had already sent a killer to attack Mo Bai and Hong Yi, although the two had disappeared, but at least they were seriously injured, why didn't it take a few days for there to be news about Mo Bai?
Mo Xuan had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to King Zhao that this Mo Bai had been reluctant to appear for a long time, and I heard that he seemed to have been unable to come because of some women, and now this Mo Bai's reputation has spread among the epidemic people, which is simply a bit incredible, could it be that someone is secretly making trouble?
If it is really as rumored, Mo Bai has great magical powers and can actually control the development of the epidemic, then this matter has reached the ears of King Zhao, and he will never have the opportunity to become this prince again. But these words now are just hearsay, and it is not certain whether this person is Mo Bai or not. Mo Xuan thought about it, so he immediately sent someone to ask the local villagers where this Mo Bai was.
Zhuo Yu didn't plan to hide from the eldest prince and them, anyway, now that Mo Bai is already a local celebrity, even if the eldest prince knows Mo Bai's actions, he doesn't dare to act rashly, and it is estimated that he will specially invite them back when the time comes, and discuss the matter of controlling the plague together, and take the opportunity to show that he has contributed to the treatment of the plague in the middle.
Zhuo Yu's conjecture was indeed right, this Mo Xuan first sent someone to investigate whether this person was Mo Bai, and the person who went to investigate came back and said, "The eldest prince, that person is really ...... Three Princes! ”
When Mo Xuan heard the news, he immediately felt a little headache, he couldn't imagine that he had spent so much effort, and he actually let him live well in the world, and now he has won a wave of people's hearts, which is simply too cheap for him.
"The eldest prince, do you want to take advantage of the fact that the whereabouts of the three princes have not been known by too many people, or do you want to send subordinates to solve it." The man said.
The eldest prince also had this idea at the beginning, but if you think about it carefully, this method still doesn't work. At present, Mo Bai has the highest voice among the people, and many people have seen him. If he was killed rashly at this time, then it would be easy to find out his head after the fact, and it was really worth the loss, so Mo Xuan said: "Don't worry, don't do anything to them first." ”
"What does the great prince mean......" the man asked.
"Don't they have a cure for the plague? Then let's learn a little bit. He can cure the plague, and so can this prince. ”
