Hearing what the little steward said, Su Qiang remembered that the prince was sick. And as his new wife, he should visit himself.

"Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the dormitory?" She got out of the carriage and asked.

Speaking of which, the prince has not lived in the palace in the past two days. This saves them a hard time getting along at night.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, when Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sick, he is usually raised in the East Warm Pavilion. According to the doctor, the weather is good and the air is pleasant. And because there are plum blossoms outside the warm pavilion, it is the open season, and the scenery is also very good. ”

The little steward replied, while thinking in his heart that the crown princess had been tired of returning to Ning today, and if she went to visit the prince without rest at this time, it should be a beautiful thing to talk about in the East Palace.

While thinking about it, Su Qiang was already wrapped in a cloak by the maidservant, and said lightly: "Since it is to recuperate, there should be no one to disturb it." Let's go back to the dormitory. ”

The little steward shook with a smile and opened his mouth with difficulty, but he had no choice but to say yes.

Just now, someone reported to him, and as soon as the news came out that the prince was unwell, there was a queue of people in the palace who sent a famous post to ask for a visit, and there were even a few young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet.

The crown prince is only married to the crown princess now, and the vacant side concubine position, I don't know how many people are worried about it. They are not good at expressing themselves on weekdays, but as long as the prince has a cold and discomfort, the medicinal herbs and sachets sent can fill the warehouse.

In comparison, his own master doesn't take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince too seriously.

Su Qiang didn't pay attention to what the little steward would think. Today, she first saw the desertion and misery of the Fuguo Mansion, and then saw the joy in the Shangshu Mansion, and felt that it was more tiring than going into battle to kill the enemy. The prince is sick and has his own doctor to guard her, and she doesn't understand medical science.

Even if she understood, she still wanted to kill him, how could she save him?

……

The crown prince Li Cong was sitting on a futon surrounded by incense from the medicine stove in the East Warm Pavilion. One hand casually opened an ancient book, the other hand was propped up on the edge of the futon, and the body was crooked and lazy, as if it would be blown down by a gust of wind at any time.

The dark guard Agung was standing not far away, reporting the important events of the day one by one.

"The county lord of Hewei has returned from the south, and the Zheng family has sent a hundred guards to escort him. As soon as they entered Beijing, those guards were handed over to the Nancheng government for placement. said that he would stay in the capital in the future and not go back. ”

Zheng Shuwei, the lord of Hewei County, is the daughter of the Zheng family on the southeastern island. Ten years ago, the Zheng family returned to Dahong, and in order to show sincerity, Zheng Shuwei, who was only seven years old, came to Beijing to serve the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a means-savvy, in order to stabilize the faction in the Zheng family that is not subject to Dahong's control, she discussed with the emperor to let the emperor accept Zheng Shuwei as her adopted daughter, and she was titled and the lord of Wei.

The expression on Li Cong's face remained unchanged, and his fingers turned over a page of the book, his expression was gloomy.

"The wine of the prince has been suspended for a long time, and the regent has drawn up a list for His Majesty. The meaning in the palace is: His Majesty wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the regent to decide together, and he just asks about this matter. ”

The former Guozi priest Jiusun Dang, who was impeached by the Imperial History Observatory half a year ago, had participated in the imperial examination fraud three years ago, and was dismissed from his post and given to death by His Majesty the Emperor after being verified. Since then, the position of the country's priest has been vacant, which gradually affected this year's spring. Now in half a month, it will be the test of the Ministry of Rites, and if the right person is not decided, it will become a joke.

The news had not yet been sent to the East Palace, but the dark guard had already known about it first. Li Cong raised his eyes, didn't praise half a sentence, only nodded.

Agung continued, "The assassins at His Highness's wedding banquet have already found some eyebrows, but there is no evidence of their death......

Li Cong's fingers on the page swiped the black handwriting, and said coldly: "What does it matter if there is no proof of death?" Everyone else has broken into your eyes, and if the palace is dead, it will be dead, do you still want your face? ”

Argon's face turned white, and he answered in a muffled voice.

Li Cong said again: "It's also to blame the palace, the day before you found out that those people had problems, the palace must be in danger, and you didn't move." ”

Agung's expression recovered a little, and he said earnestly: "Your Highness is willing to be a bait, and he will not hesitate to let his subordinates kill the assassins on the day of the wedding." It's the incompetence of subordinates......"

With a "snap" the page was closed, Li Cong raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said lightly: "What else is going on." ”

These words cut off Agung's self-blame, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hesitated slightly: "There is another small matter, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Li Cong raised his eyes to look at him, his long hair tied tightly by the white jade crown fell over his shoulders, and he frowned and said, "Don't be verbose." ”

"That's the case, the brothers who guarded the Fuguo Mansion reported that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess returned to Ning today, and deliberately took a detour to Dongfeng Lane."

"What is she going to do there?" There was a hint of puzzlement in Li Cong's eyes.

"I said that I was going to enjoy the plums, but the brother who followed looked carefully, and the princess seemed to want to go to the gate of the Guogong Mansion to take a look."

Li Cong put aside the fire burning with herbs in front of him, stood up and paced a few steps. The hem of the white robe crossed the floor, and the bead pendant inlaid on it made a dull tinkling sound.

After a long time, Li Cong turned around and said with a serious expression: "Did she know Miss Cui before?" ”

Agung shook his head and said, "They have crossed paths, but Shangshu Mansion and Guogong Mansion have always been at odds, so they don't know each other in private. ”

Li Cong stared at the plum blossoms that had just bloomed outside the window, and said in a cold voice: "Speaking of this, there must be a report to the military department when Miss Cui comes back." What do they say? ”

Sure enough, I can't help but care about it. Ah Gong sighed in his heart and presented the news he had heard: "Deputy General Wei Huailin said in the report that Cui Wange, the female general of the Fu army, strayed into the tiger hunting trap laid by the Nanyi people and was injured by the knife and axe in the well and died. ”

Fall into a trap.

Only those old cripples in the military department who can't fight will believe this.

Li Cong's eyes were heavy.

Would a woman like her fall into a trap recklessly?

"Here you go!" In the autumn hunt that year, she stopped beside him with the reins and threw a dagger: "A few bastards over there have startled the wolves, maybe they will run here." You can hang out, don't die. ”

She ignored the brocade robe on his body, which represented the status of the prince, and threw the dagger over with a big grin. He wanted to tell her that he had someone to protect, but he was annoyed and chased them away. Now that something has happened in the hunting grounds, I'm afraid those guards will immediately surround them.

But in the blink of an eye, she had already slapped her horse away, in the direction of the wolves scattering. The cyan dress made the figure more sassy, and the quiver and silver bow on the back were tossed and turned, shining dazzlingly.

She was sixteen years old.

Will a sixteen-year-old girl who hunts wolves alone fall into a trap and die at the age of twenty when she is specially approved by the imperial court to join the army to fight?

Li Cong's fingernails were embedded in the palms of his hands, dripping blood on the floor without knowing it.

"Your Highness, you ......" Agung looked at his expression and stopped talking.

"Go look it up." Li Cong suddenly turned around, "Find out how she died!" Find out who is the poisoner! Whoever it is, Hongu wants him to die a hundred times! ”
