Chapter 66 (2nd Update)
The capital is indeed very peaceful, and Anping is even silent and dead without the slightest wave of waves.
Su Ziqi said to Yun Chi that after he returned to Beijing, he hid in the dark and didn't find anyone wrong.
For the sake of the prince's illness, the emperor did not return to the palace these days, but lived in the East Palace day and night.
The Queen Mother is even more, she did not leave the palace an inch, she went to the door of the Phoenix East Garden every day to go around, and spent most of the day copying scriptures in the Buddhist hall of the East Palace to pray for the prince.
The courtiers would go to the East Palace every day to rivet, and they were very concerned about His Royal Highness the Prince's illness.
The people are burning incense and praying at home, and the threshold of the Qingshui Temple in Banbishan is about to be broken by good men and women, all of whom are praying for the blessing of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the incense is endless, filling the entire Banbi Mountain.
In Beijing, there was an unusually calm that there were no thieves on the streets.
After listening to Su Ziqi's words, Yun Chi couldn't help but laugh and asked him, "Do you say that the people behind him dare not make a move, or wait for the opportunity?" If so, isn't there the best time to do it? ”
Su Zi knocked on the table and said, "I probably think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has powerful means, deep scheming, and excellent strategy, so I am afraid that you will suddenly become terminally ill this time It is a fraud, so I didn't dare to make a move, but I didn't know that I missed the best opportunity." ”
Yun Chi nodded, "It makes sense, probably because the prestige methods of this palace have been too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the past four years." ”
Su Ziqi looked at him, "Do you want to wait like this and lead the people behind the scenes to do it?" Or is there any plan? ”
Yun Chi said decisively, "Today I will go back to the East Palace, and tomorrow I will start preparing for the big wedding." Since the person behind it hasn't done anything these days, then continue to hide! After the palace and the crown princess get married, they will clean it up. ”
Su Zi sneered, "You are very anxious about the wedding." ”
Yun Chi said lightly, "One day she didn't have the surname Yun, so she dreamed a lot at night, don't tell me that you didn't want to die with her in the Northland when the plague was raging in the Northland?" ”
Su Ziqi seemed to be pleased all of a sudden, put down the empty ginger soup bowl, and said to Yun Chi, "Naturally, if you treat her in the future but have a little bit of dissatisfaction, I will die, and I will drag her before you." ”
Yun Chi lowered his face coldly, "There is no such day." ”
Su Ziqi said lazily, "I hope not." ”
Yun Chi looked at him again with a familiar look of leaning on the back of the chair, too lazy to look at it again, stood up, and said to him, "This palace is entering the city, are you with me?" ”
"No, I'll stay with you tonight." Su Zi shook his head, "Since you are not in a hurry to draw out the people behind you and check the people behind you, then what am I anxious about for you?" You're back, and it's time for me to rest, and I'll be back in town tomorrow. ”
"Well, tomorrow morning, for the great meritorious men of the Northland, I will give a reward." Yun Chi said, "What position do you want?" ”
Su Zi raised his eyebrows, "The position in the court, whatever I choose?" ”
Yun Chi said, "Yes." ”
Su Zi touched his chin and said, "After the head of the household is beheaded by you, this position is still vacant, give it to me." ”
Yun Chi nodded, "Okay." When the words fell, he reached out and picked up his cloak, put it on his body, said no more words, and simply left.
Xiao Zhongzi didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to say that he would leave, and hurriedly chased him out.
Su Zi watched Yun Chi's back leave, the wind and snow hit him, cold and thin, until the person was gone, he retracted his gaze, played with the jade pendant returned by Huayan in his hand, smiled abruptly, and muttered, "It's really different people, different lives." ”
Although his voice was low, Qing Soul heard it clearly, and secretly sighed deeply, thinking that for Miss Hua Yan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was obviously better and blessed than the prince's life.
Yun Chi left the farm and rode a fast horse to the capital.
Ten miles, not far, soon under the city gate.
The deputy general who guarded the city was the person who came out of the East Palace personally arranged by Yun Chi three years ago, and when he saw Yun Chi, his eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately knelt on the ground, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wan An!" ”
Yun Chi waved his hand, "Get up!" After the words fell, he said no more, and rode into the city.
The twelve Yunwei followed Yun Chi closely, the horse's hooves were wrapped in softness, and he stepped on the snow on the ground, not making much noise in the night, and went all the way to the East Palace.
The lieutenant general stood up, patted the snow on his body, and asked the people around him in surprise, "Is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
The people around him nodded, "It seems to be." ”
The deputy slapped him on the head, "What do you mean by what it seems to be?" Who would dare to pretend to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? A sucker! ”
The little minion next to him rubbed his head and smiled, "You're right." ”
The deputy general wanted to say that it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was terminally ill was false, and it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince braved the wind and snow to return to Beijing from outside, and he didn't know where he went, and he didn't know when he left the city, and he was not on duty that day. But in any case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, thank God, if something happens to His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't imagine who among the princes can replace His Royal Highness the Prince.
Yun Chi returned all the way back to the East Palace and entered the palace gate, but the people guarding the palace gate were happy, and the deputy housekeeper was happy.
Seeing that Yun Chi was doing well, the deputy housekeeper almost hugged Yun Chi and cried, "Your Highness, you ...... You're finally done. ”
Yun Chi turned over and dismounted, reached out to pat the tearful face of the deputy housekeeper, and said softly, "It's hard work." ”
The deputy housekeeper shook his head again and again, "The slave is not hard, the emperor and the queen mother are hard, as long as His Royal Highness is good, the slave will be happy even if he loses his life." ”
Yun Chi was moved, "Father is here?" Where to stay? ”
The deputy housekeeper immediately said, "The emperor lives in the side hall of the East Garden these days. ”
Yun Chi bowed his head, "This palace is going to see my father." The words fell, and he walked towards the Phoenix East Garden.
The deputy butler hurriedly followed, and while following Yun Chi at a brisk pace, he told him about the situation of the East Palace and the capital these days after he left.
Although Yun Chi had already heard Su Ziqi say a rough idea, he still patiently listened to what the deputy housekeeper said, and found no problems, so he went all the way to Dongyuan.
The emperor can be said to be anxious these days, he has not dared to send news to Yun Chi, and he has not received news from Yun Chi, ten days have passed, I don't know what happened to Yun Chi, his body is not good, these days he is anxious and sick, but he gritted his teeth.
He can't fall until Yun Chi doesn't come back, he can't be a useless father, a useless monarch.
Today, just when he couldn't stand it and wanted to send a letter to Yun Chi, he pondered again and again, but he still pressed his pulse, he was afraid that something would be bad. I'm afraid that Yun Chi's body is not well, and I'm afraid that the capital will be found out by the people behind him because of his small action, and the news will leak and become chaotic.
Just as he sighed, he heard footsteps outside, frowned, and asked, "Who's out there?" ”
The prince glanced out, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise, "The emperor...... Your Majesty, is it ...... It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
Suddenly seeing Yun Chi coming from outside in a hurry, he really had to be startled, and Yun Chi was in a hurry, braving the wind and snow, and it looked like he was rushing back.
He was surprised in his heart, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not been in the main hall, and the practices of Master Deyuan and the presiding abbot of the Qingshui Temple in Banbi Mountain were fake? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not terminally ill at all? Did he simply leave the East Palace and leave the capital, using this as a cover to go to other places?
So what's going on with His Royal Highness the Prince's sick body? Could it be that the doctors in the Tai Hospital are treating fake? Could it be that Dr. Sun of Wuwei Houfu is also fake? There is no oil at all?
He couldn't figure it out.
"What?" The Emperor stood up sharply, his voice trembling in almost surprise, "What did you say?" Is the prince back? ”
The prince looked at the emperor like this, obviously, he knew that the prince had left Beijing, he didn't expect that after so many years, he would not be trusted by the emperor, he lowered his head, "Yes, the emperor, it is His Royal Highness the prince, the slave is not mistaken......"
Before he could finish speaking, the emperor had already rushed out of the room and answered.
Yun Chi walked to the door, and was just about to step up the steps, when he saw the emperor rushing out of the back room, dressed in a single coat, not even a coat, his face was full of joy, he smiled slightly, walked two steps quickly, went up the steps, and supported the emperor, "Father, the son is back." ”
When the emperor saw that it was really him, he was overjoyed and held his arm tightly, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." The words fell, and his eyes turned red, "But it's okay?" Sick and cured? Without waiting for Yun Chi to reply, he looked him up and down again, and said to himself, "You are like this, it can be seen that it is good." ”
Yun Chi nodded, "Back to my father, my son is fine." It was cold outside, so we went back to the house and said. ”
The emperor bowed his head again and again, and was supported by Yun Chi and entered the house.
The prince knelt down to greet Yun Chi, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe." ”
Yun Chi glanced at the princess, waved his hand, and said softly, "Father-in-law, please get up." The words fell, and he helped the emperor into the back room.
The emperor sat down, still excited, "Yan girl is really injured?" What happened to her? ”
Yun Chi also sat down and nodded, "She was seriously injured and almost lost her life, but now fortunately, she has saved the day." ”
The emperor was shocked, "Sure enough, it's because of her, how did she get seriously injured?" ”
Yun Chi sighed, and briefly told the emperor what happened in the north, Huayan was for him and for the people of the north.
When the emperor heard this, he was also indignant, and slapped the table and said, "The thief exterminates humanity, and Yan Yatou is worthy of being the crown princess you chose." All right! The women of the world are ashamed of her, and they are not as good as her. ”
