197 The prince is rescued
On the fourth day of the first month of August, the sun was shining brightly, and it was rare to have such a bright day on a rainy day for several days.
Da Yue Kingdom, the maiden home of Bai Yumo's mother, although it is called Da Yue, is just a small country sandwiched between Haoyue and Xiqi, Bai Yuxiu said so at that time..
Because of Bai Yumo's relationship, most of them have not interacted with Gu Cangguo for many years, naturally, even if they inexplicably sent envoys and a team of people to come this time, Gu Cang treated him with contempt, and no one greeted him.
"What about the emperor? Let me see the emperor. ”
"Oh, what's the matter, Your Highness the Prince, please come in."
Bai Yuxiu rushed all the way into the imperial study, and before he had time to salute, he poured the tea beside Bai Yuqi, and several courtiers in the room glanced at each other, looking at Fang Xing's face as he went to the west, and did not say anything about him.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty.. See the emperor .."
Bai Yuxiu knelt on the ground and saluted, straightened up and panted and swept around, I don't know why the emperor is so idle, and he is still discussing something with these useless ministers... It doesn't matter if the people come to the country, if he hadn't come forward to make the ministers, he would have to go to the guest house..
"Brother Xiu! Speak well. ”
"No, it is. Your Majesty, Brother Prince, you're back! ”
Bai Yuqi's face remained unchanged and he clenched his fists in vain, and then let go as if nothing had happened, and stood up in shock and joy like everyone else, the emperor hurriedly walked over, and bent down to help Bai Yuxiu very excitedly.
"What do you say? Where is the prince? ”
"Inn! The envoys of the Great Yue Kingdom escorted me all the way back. The minister let Commander Su lead people over without authorization. ”
Bai Yuxiu still hadn't calmed down, his voice was neither high nor low, but the words smashed into Bai Yuqi's heart powerfully, the emperor's eyes were full of tears, and he took two steps trembling on the spot, obviously happy.
"Well done, good done, Lin Er can be together?"
"Yes, they were poisoned and unconscious, King Yu was not there, and the minister let the second son of the Yan family pass, and I don't know if it can be solved."
The emperor nodded again and again, and several courtiers present showed a happy look on their faces, only Bai Yuxiu didn't believe it, how many of them were really willing to return to the prince, and how many of them were really happy...
"Your Majesty.. Should I summon the envoys of the Great Viet Kingdom? ”
"Your kid is becoming more and more sensible and capable now, Gao Li, the Ministry of Rites will hold a banquet and entertain Da Yue Guo in the evening."
Bai Yuxiu wiped the sweat on his forehead, but his mood fell to the bottom, these people stepped on it when they saw it, they had never seen any respect for him before, and at this moment, he saw that the emperor praised him again and again, and immediately flattered him. In the past, maybe Bai Yuxiu would have a little bit of fun, but now he really feels extremely boring.
Presumably, the Great Yue Kingdom, which had not been entertained two hours ago, would soon feel the same way.
After the courtiers in the imperial study had a few gossips with the emperor, they happily retired, Bai Yuqi didn't want to leave, but the emperor sent him to the post house to entertain the envoys of the Great Yue Kingdom.
Su Zang took the prince and Lin Qinghuan to the palace, Yan Yun had a question and couldn't do anything, so he didn't follow into the palace, after all, there were many imperial doctors in the palace, but Su Zang went back and went, and the people of Yan'an City knew that the prince was back and was saved by Da Yueguo.
"Prince! Xiu'er, the prince is back, isn't he? ”
"Yes, the imperial doctors are treating you."
Bai Yuxiu stood at the door of the hall, watching the imperial concubine pick up her skirt and trot all the way over, these days she is almost crying is broken liver and intestines, and her eyes are still swollen, but Bai Yuxiu dares to say that this is the first time that the concubine has run so fast in her life.
"Prince! Chen'er.."
"Concubine!"
The imperial doctors in the palace turned their backs to discuss how to administer the medicine, and the emperor reprimanded lightly, and the concubine reacted a little gaffe, wiped the tears on her face, and sat on the edge of the bed with a very distressed look.
"Imperial Doctor, how is the prince?"
"Back to the emperor, back to Niangniang, the poison in His Royal Highness the Prince's body is extremely complicated, fortunately, this poison is not fatal, and the ministers will do their best to prepare the antidote."
When the concubine heard this, her eyes were overflowing with water again, but she quickly blinked her eyes and took it back, she didn't bother to care about the incompetent words of the imperial doctors, so she was lucky that the prince could come back, and the poison would not cause death.
"Let's go see Lin Er."
"Yes."
The emperor led the imperial doctors out, Bai Yuxiu stood by the door and saluted in a regular manner, and was looked at by the emperor with satisfaction, and the passing imperial doctors did not forget to bend down and salute him. Before Bai Yuxiu could enter the hall, he heard a slight sound of footsteps, and unlike the noble concubine, the crown princess walked unhurriedly, maintaining her usual calm and composure.
"I've seen the imperial sister-in-law."
"The prince is polite, let's go in."
The crown princess stepped over the threshold with a weak willow and a strong wind, looking dignified and noble, demure and elegant, Bai Yuxiu walked behind her side and felt a little different, if one day he was lying on the bed, the nursery rhyme dared to be so calm, he promised to jump up and fight with her!
"Say hello to my mother."
"You're here, take a look at the prince."
The concubine's eyes flashed with tears, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and pulled the princess to her in a choked voice, and the princess's expression was a little unusual, and there were many words in her eyes that she wanted to say, all of which were blocked by the rules of this imperial city.
"Your Highness is back, and the concubine is at ease."
"Hmm."
The concubine stretched out her hand and stroked the prince's forehead, and answered coldly with her eyes turned sideways, not to blame her for being dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, but to blame the princess for being too bound by the rules of etiquette from childhood to adulthood, but there was not a single tear, which really made the concubine uncomfortable, as if everyone had to cry like her, so that she could be considered true to the prince..
"Pour a glass of water, see if the prince may drink it!"
"This... Can the imperial doctor say that he can drink it? ”
The concubine's face is going to be crooked now, sweeping away the joy of the prince's return, her face is blue and red, she was still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law in the past, family background, appearance, character, but after getting along for a long time, the concubine got tired of it, and was very dissatisfied with her more upright frame than the queen.
"The concubine Niangniang.. The royal sister-in-law is also for the good of the prince. ”
"Oh, I forgot about you for a while, this palace naturally knows that she is for your prince's good, this time, thanks to you.."
The concubine must be very uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't notice it on her face, the imperial concubine just reacted that there was still a Bai Yuxiu standing on the side, and immediately changed her loving face, but according to Bai Yuxiu, the reason why the concubine was quite sloppy about the princess was because the princess had been married to the East Palace for a year, and this belly...
"It should.. That, I'll go see Qinghuan. ”
"Okay, slow down on the road, and come to the main palace to play when you have time."
Bai Yuxiu arched his hand and shuddered in his heart, naturally knowing that the imperial concubine's words were sincere, after all, Bai Yuxiu must be more sincere to the prince than Bai Yuqi, of course, there are also elements for future consideration.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the dazzling Qingning Palace did not have the sound of music, and the courtiers above the third grade slowly arrived one by one, and there was nothing to say after greeting the envoys of Dayue, and then the face of the imperial concubine who appeared did not see the joy of the prince, and the coldness of the faction. Only the emperor was slightly happy.
"That.. I don't know how your country met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
"Dayue is not far from Xiqi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured and was chased and killed, and was rescued by my Dayue soldiers at the border pass, after all, the war was tense, and I was worried that the letter would be stopped, so I ran this trip in person."
Everyone nodded and admired Da Yueguo's behavior this time, after all, the relationship between the two countries had long ceased to exist, and they risked being retaliated by Xiqi to escort the prince back, but it was only in their hearts...
A trace of calculation flashed quickly in the imperial concubine's eyes, and she suddenly relieved herself to think about what happened after the prince's return this time, that is, because there were so many factors that were not conducive to the Great Yue Kingdom, they also sent the prince back, what is this called? Regardless of the previous suspicions, the gentleman behaves, how to avoid it in the court, what will the people think...
"By the way, presumably this thing is also His Majesty Gu Cang's, and it is hereby returned."
"Bring it in."
After the imperial concubine saw the things in Gao Li's hand, her eyebrows were full of haze, and there was a shocking word among the courtiers, it was a tiger talisman, and the emperor personally handed it over to the prince to transfer troops.
"This move of the Great Yue Kingdom is convincing to the son of this world, please have a drink."
"Shizi, please."
The Da Yue Kingdom on this trip is really grateful to Bai Yuxiu, since they came to Yan'an City, only Bai Yuxiu was polite and privately received, and talked to them again and again at this banquet, so as not to embarrass them too much..
The emperor's face was solemn, holding the tiger talisman without saying a word, and the imperial concubine glanced at the envoys of the Dayue Kingdom below with a little disgust, which was even more sure that they had a plan, and it must be for Bai Yumo, who had not attended.
"Da Yue Guo this time, how do you want me to thank you?"
"Your Majesty Gu Cang is serious, there is a marriage between the two countries, there is no need to say any thanks, but when I leave, I see that I am thinking about Concubine Yue Niangniang to the emperor, I don't know how good Niangniang is?"
The intentions of the envoys of the Great Yue Kingdom were clear to everyone, but the gentleness in the emperor's eyes was completely gone, with an unprecedented coldness... Bai Yuxiu observed everyone's expressions, thinking in his heart what he would do if Fang Xing was there?
"Concubine Yue's health has always been poor, and in two days I will arrange for the envoys to enter the palace to ask for peace."
"Emperor Xie!"
Since the emperor has made a judgment, he naturally can't tolerate the beak of others, the imperial concubine lowered her eyes, and the nails buried under the wide robe pierced into the palm of her hand, what is this! If the Ning family could still stop one or two, but they saved the prince, her son, and the emperor did not investigate the loss of this tiger talisman, he was really annoyed in his heart.
