Chapter Seventy-Three: Death Together (1st Update)
At the same time as the Great Prince's Mansion caught fire, the dormitory where the Emperor Taishang lived in the palace also caught fire.
The Praetorian Guards in the palace hurriedly put out the fire, rescued the emperor from the thick smoke, and hurriedly sent someone to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor.
The imperial doctors hurriedly entered the palace with the medicine box, and after taking turns to check the pulse of the emperor, they all showed solemn expressions.
After Chu Chen ordered the blockade of the five cities, he heard that the palace was also on fire, so he hurriedly rushed to the palace again.
When the imperial doctors saw Chu Chen, they hurriedly surrendered their hands, "Little Lord Chen!" ”
Chu Chen wiped the sweat from his face and asked, "How is the Emperor?" ”
The imperial doctors glanced at each other, but it was Imperial Doctor Chen who spoke, "Your Majesty is already sick, and he has inhaled a lot of smoke, I'm afraid it's ...... It won't survive tomorrow. ”
Chu Chen's heart sank.
Although the death of the Emperor Taishang is not a big event for today's Da Chu, it is not a good thing at this juncture.
He took a deep breath, "Try your best to treat the Emperor Taishang." ”
"Yes!" Imperial Physician Chen's head was bowed.
After settling the Emperor Taishang again, Chu Chen ordered a thorough investigation of the arsonists in the palace, and he was able to set fire to the palace and the Great Prince's Mansion at the same time, and it was indeed as his grandfather said, the power that the three princes secretly buried was big enough.
Perhaps, he is now in the capital, perhaps, the person has left the capital, but Lei is buried here first. The purpose is naturally to make the capital chaotic, to kill the emperor and the eldest prince, to leave the capital ownerless, and to make the front line chaotic.
Chu Chen was calm and dealt with the mess.
When the courtiers heard that the palace and the Great Prince's Mansion were on fire at the same time, they were not worried about the Emperor, but were very worried about the Great Prince, and they all hurried to the Great Prince's Mansion to see that the Great Prince was fine.
The Great Prince's Mansion did not close its doors, Gu Qingyan saw all the courtiers who came in a hurry, and said lightly to the worried and nervous eyes of the courtiers, "The eldest prince has suffered a little injury, but it is fine, all the adults can rest assured." ”
Gu Qingyan's prestige in the court has been overshadowed by his and the great prince's drastic rectification of the court, and now it can be said to be unprecedented, seeing him say this, it is not like a lie, the courtiers believed it, and they breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to ask who set fire to hurt the eldest prince? Can you find out?
Gu Qingyan said directly, "It should be the third prince's doing." ”
The Three Princes?
The third prince Chu Yun?
Chu Yun, the third prince who was involved in the poisoned tea case and the Zhang Zaifu case?
The third prince has not been mentioned for more than half a year, since he lost power, his power has been divided by several princes, and he himself is even more secluded, treating himself as an invisible person, and now he ...... How can this person who set fire to the eldest prince and the emperor be the third prince?
"The three princes were actually born to Zhang Zaifu and Concubine Xian, and the traitors who were planted by His Royal Highness the Prince with the three yellow pearl ointments set fire, and His Royal Highness trusted His Royal Highness the Prince, so he went on the road. Now, the Three Princes' Mansion has been emptied. Gu Qingyan didn't mind saying more, "From today onwards, the capital will have a big investigation, and I hope you will cooperate." ”
The courtiers were a little stunned by the news, and they couldn't react for a while, what did they hear?
But it doesn't matter if you can't react, what Lord Gu says, what is right.
So, everyone should be in unison.
After Gu Qingyan stabilized the courtiers, he ordered Qingmo to cooperate with Chu Chen to thoroughly investigate the forces of the three princes in the whole city, and at the same time, track the whereabouts of the three princes.
was able to quietly disappear from the Three Princes' Mansion under Gu Qingyan's nose, and sure enough, most of Zhang Zaifu's forces were given to the Three Princes, and under the heavy protection of the Great Prince's Mansion, arson and poisoned arrows were set on fire to kill the Great Prince, and the Three Princes were indeed buried very deeply.
Chu Chen took people to Concubine Xian's Palace, and Concubine Xian was grooming in the mirror.
The palace door opened, Chu Chen looked at Concubine Xian with her back to her, and arched her hand, "Concubine Xian!" ”
Concubine Xian turned around and smiled at Chu Chen, "Little Prince Chen broke into the harem and broke into the palace of the palace, is it a little unruly, dare to ask if you have any advice?" ”
Chu Chen said with cold eyebrows, "I'm curious, why didn't Concubine Xian Niangniang go with His Royal Highness?" ”
Concubine Xian smiled, "What are you going to do?" Zhang Yan is still in prison, right? He's here, and the palace won't leave. ”
Chu Chen sighed in his heart, "Niangniang is really infatuated!" ”
Jang Jae-fu is twenty years older than Concubine Xian! He was also an eye-opener! It's really heartbroken.
Concubine Xian laughed, "Yes, if this palace wasn't infatuated with him, how could he live this life according to his requirements?" How could it be possible to bear him a son? ”
She looked at Chu Chen, "Little Lord Chen, what kind of expression do you have?" The stillborn baby given birth to Concubine Shu is still the seed of Prince Shan! ”
Chu Chen's face darkened.
Concubine Xian looked at Chu Chen, "Don't try to tell the whereabouts of the Third Highness from the mouth of the palace, the palace doesn't know, the palace doesn't leave, it just wants to die with Zhang Yan for an hour, walk the Huangquan Road together, Nahe Bridge, the next life, the palace doesn't want to be born twenty years later, this life will die on the same day, the same month and the same day as him, and the next life will be born on the same day, the same year, the same month, this is what the palace wants." ”
Chu Chen didn't know what to say for a while, but said, "You are dead, and you can't be buried together." ”
"What do you do with the funeral? At the same time, black and white impermanence came to catch, and we walked Huangquan Road together, Nahe Bridge, and reincarnated together. Concubine Xian said very gently, "I don't want this broken skin bag, I don't care if I burn it or feed it to the dogs after I die." ”
Chu Chen was completely speechless.
Concubine Xian didn't seem to have anything to say to him, she glanced at it and leaked more, bit the pill in her mouth, inserted the last golden hairpin, slowly closed her eyes, her body slipped down, and she was suddenly out of breath.
Chu Chen saw her die, there was really no reason to stop her, and he was very silent.
Not long after Concubine Xian's body fell to the ground, Chu Jing walked in from outside, lowered his voice and whispered in Chu Chen's ear, "There is news from the Heavenly Prison of the Criminal Department that Zhang Zaifu committed suicide by shooting the Heavenly Spirit Gai himself. ”
Chu Chen was silent, looking at Concubine Xian who had just lost her breath, thinking about Zhang Zaifu and Concubine Xian, but they were a pair of mandarin ducks who had forgotten their years, and they really died at the same time.
He ordered someone to put Concubine Xian in the coffin first, and wait until Chu Xian woke up and fell. As for Zhang Zaifu, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department ordered someone to put him into the morgue first, and also waited for Chu Xian to fall.
Out of the Xianfei Palace, Chu Chen glanced at the Emperor Taishang, who was the one who wanted to live and didn't want to die, but the god of death seemed to be pulling him desperately, and he shouted in a daze, "I don't want to die, save me." words.
The doctors of the Tai Hospital got together to discuss the way to treat them, and they seemed to be doing their best.
After Chu Chen took a look, he left the palace and went to the Great Prince's Mansion.
Gu Qingyan has been sitting in the Great Prince's Mansion, and after sending the courtiers away, he waited for the old doctor to treat the Great Prince and wake up.
When Chu Chen came, the old doctor had just pulled out an arrow for Chu Xian, scraped the bones and cured the poison, and said to Gu Qingyan, "After drinking the medicine, I'm afraid it will take a day or two to wake up." ”
Gu Qingyan nodded, as long as the person wakes up.
When Chu Chen heard that the eldest prince was fine, he was also relieved, "Your Highness is fine." ”
Once something happens, it will really make the dynasty unstable, even if Gu Qingyan is there, he is there, but he is not the eldest prince, he is bound to drag Chu Yan back from Mobei, what will he go to Nanyang in the future? Go back to the capital and sit down with his emperor!
"What's wrong with the Emperor?" Gu Qingyan naturally knew that the palace was on fire.
"It's not good, the doctors said it would be a day's errand." Chu Chen said, "Since the Eighth Prince was killed, he scared himself and was already sick, but now that the palace is burning, he has smoked a lot of smoke...... However, the Emperor Taishang kept shouting in confusion that he didn't want to die, and the imperial doctors were doing their best to save him, and it was really ......"
Gu Qingyan nodded.
"Concubine Xian took the poison, and Zhang Zaifu slapped the Tianling cover by himself in the prison, and died with Concubine Xian one hour after another." Chu Chen said again, "Concubine Xian didn't leave with the third prince, just to wait to die with Zhang Zaifu." This year-old love, twenty years apart, is really eye-opening. ”
Gu Qingyan nodded again.
"Since the third prince has this ability, why didn't he save Zhang Zaifu?" Chu Chen said.
"He can't save it." Gu Qingyan said, "Half of my people are guarding outside the prison, and it is impossible for him to leave the capital alive and find a place to enjoy his old age." ”
"I see, it can be seen that the third prince knows that your people take a close look at the prison of the Criminal Department, so they don't dare to take the risk of exposing themselves to save Zhang Zaifu, but instead calculate to kill the Emperor Taishang and His Royal Highness." Chu Chen said hatefully, "I almost let him calculate." ”
Gu Qingyan nodded and asked him, "Have you gone back to Prince Shan's Mansion?" ”
Chu Chen shook his head, he had just taken the time to come here first, he didn't have time to go back, and he didn't really want to go back.
"Go back! Your grandfather is waiting for you to give him a ride. Gu Qingyan said, "Prince Good is not stupid, he has been a fox for many years, and he was threatened by Zhang Zaifu, isn't it just to protect Prince Shan's Mansion?" Now that the inside story has been poked out, if he is thinking about your future and life, he will definitely not wait for His Highness to drop him, and his road can only be to commit suicide and apologize. In this way, with his death, everything will be buried, and you will be able to stand up and not be affected by him. ”
Chu Chen's face turned pale, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he woke up suddenly, "I'll go back now, thank you!" ”
He turned around and immediately rushed out of the Great Prince's Mansion and returned to the Good Prince's Mansion.
